Chapter 89:
Meng Yan gritted her back teeth.
Meng Shuyou glanced at the coffee left on the coffee table, “That’s not right, doesn’t a pregnant person still drink coffee?”
Meng Yan gripped her palm tightly.
“I think I know why this marriage has to be called off.” Meng Shuyou lifted her fig leaf, “The eldest miss of the Meng Family, to marry into the Zhao Family, faked a pregnancy, got exposed, if word gets out, who exactly is the one who loses more face?”
“Shut up!” A thought flashed through Meng Yan’s mind, and she questioned fiercely with sharp eyes: “Was this your doing?”
“What do you mean my doing?” Meng Shuyou feigned confusion, her tone casual and light, “You can eat anything, but you can’t talk nonsense, where’s the evidence?”
Meng Yan was so angry she couldn’t speak, forcibly suppressing the anger in her chest.
“Yaoyao is back.” Lin Peilan came down from upstairs.
Meng Shuyou turned to look at the woman on the stairs, wearing a purple new Chinese style dress, her figure and appearance well-maintained, holding an elegant and dignified lady’s posture, pretending as usual.
Lin Peilan walked down the steps and said: “It’s almost noon anyway, let’s have a meal together, your dad should be back soon too.”
“No need, I’ll leave after getting my things.” Meng Shuyou didn’t want to stay a second longer.
No sooner had the words left her mouth than a thick, rough voice came from the doorway, “What do you think the Meng Family is? A place you can come and go as you please?”
Meng Zhenhua came in from outside.
Meng Shuyou’s heart trembled slightly, habitually obedient and submissive to him since childhood, even now, hearing his scolding voice still instinctively made her fearful.
Meng Zhenhua asked coldly: “I heard Shu Man transferred hospitals for treatment, where did you get the money?”
Meng Shuyou didn’t answer directly, “Anyway, I didn’t use the Meng Family’s money.”
Meng Zhenhua’s face darkened, “You dare to talk to me like this now?”
Lin Peilan hurriedly stepped in to smooth things over, “Talk it out nicely, Yaoyao rarely comes back.”
Meng Zhenhua frowned tightly and directly ordered, “From today on, you stay obediently in the Meng Family, you’re not allowed to go anywhere!”
Meng Shuyou’s eyelashes trembled, having an uneasy premonition, “I won’t stay here, I want to go back to America.”
Meng Zhenhua brooked no argument, “Since you’re not obedient, forget about university, obediently do the marriage alliance.”
Meng Shuyou’s attitude was also firm, “I won’t do the marriage alliance.”
“Not up to you.” Meng Zhenhua called a servant, “Take her mobile phone, lock her in the room, and let her out whenever she comes to her senses.”
The servant followed the order and forcibly snatched her bag, “Sorry, second miss, please go back to your room.”
Meng Shuyou struggled without success and couldn’t help raising her voice, “This is illegal imprisonment!”
Lin Peilan pretended, “Yaoyao, it’s not that serious, this is your home to begin with, how can it be called imprisonment.”
Meng Yan watched the excitement from the side, “Meng Shuyou, I advise you to apologize to Dad sooner, obediently listen and do the marriage alliance, everyone happy.”
Meng Shuyou gave them two words, “Dreaming.”
–
Heavy rain fell in the evening, with thunder rumbling.
Shu Man sat on the bed, frequently looking toward the doorway, waiting for Meng Shuyou to return.
Aunt Xue also found it strange, “It’s so late, why hasn’t Yaoyao come back? Could something have happened? Didn’t she say she’d come back after getting her things?”
The telephone calls wouldn’t connect, no one picked up.
The later it got, the more worried she became, especially with such heavy rain outside.
Aunt Xue couldn’t rest assured and dialed Meng Zhenhua’s number.
The ringtone rang for a while, then the call connected.
She asked impatiently: “President Meng, is Yaoyao at the Meng Family? I can’t get through to her phone.”
“She’ll be at the Meng Family from now on, no need to worry.” Meng Zhenhua hung up after saying that.
Aunt Xue looked worriedly at the mobile phone screen, not knowing what to do, wondering if Yaoyao would be bullied at the Meng Family.
With Meng Shuyou not back, Shu Man wouldn’t sleep.
Aunt Xue could only coax her, “Xiao Man, go to sleep first, it’s raining outside, Yaoyao won’t come back tonight, we’ll call her tomorrow to check.”
Shu Man stared outside the window until after midnight, her consciousness swept by sleepiness before gradually falling asleep.
The rain didn’t stop all night, chaotically pounding the glass windows, bringing a damp, stuffy atmosphere to the air.
Meng Shuyou lay on the bed, sleepless all night.
To prevent her from escaping, Meng Zhenhua had several bodyguards take turns guarding the door, the room door was locked from the outside, she couldn’t get out at all, he wanted to force her to agree to the marriage alliance this way.
She had still underestimated the Meng Family’s heartlessness.
She had no mobile phone now and couldn’t contact anyone.
If Mister Pei couldn’t reach her by phone, he should send people to look for her, but he was so busy, he didn’t call her every day either.
–
For two whole days, Meng Shuyou was locked in the room and couldn’t go anywhere, cut off from the outside world.
The room door only opened at mealtimes.
She didn’t make a fuss, ate when she should, drank when she should, aside from sleeping, she sat by the windowsill painting to pass the time.
Because she knew making a fuss was useless, better to save her strength.
She still had value to the Meng Family now, they wouldn’t do anything to her for the time being.
Seeing her so calm, Meng Yan couldn’t hold back first and went to the room to find her, “Meng Shuyou, I advise you not to be too stubborn, you can’t change Dad’s decision, better to agree to the marriage alliance early, dragging it out like this only wastes your own time.”
Meng Shuyou had just finished a painting, put down the brush, took a wet wipe to clean her hands, and slowly stood up, “What, are you going to tie me up and make me marry someone else?”
As long as her older sister was safe and sound, nothing could threaten her.
“Are you still counting on that man of yours in America to come save you?” Meng Yan sneered mockingly, “Don’t be naive, he’s just playing with you.”
Meng Shuyou’s expression was indifferent, “What does it have to do with you?”
“I’m just curious what kind of man you found.” Meng Yan maliciously speculated, “Not some married man, right? Don’t learn from your mom, being the third party to wreck someone else’s family…”
Before the words were finished, “slap”, the sound of the slap rang out crisply.
Meng Shuyou’s gaze was cold, “Watch your mouth.”
Meng Yan was caught off guard, her face turned to the side, her left cheek burning with pain, her pupils widened in disbelief, “You dare hit me? You bastard daughter, what right do you have to hit me! You’re as cheap as your mom!”
She swung back to hit, but Meng Shuyou swiftly grabbed her wrist and flung it away, “Remember to wipe your mouth after using the toilet, so you don’t stink up the place, don’t pin unfounded charges on my mother here.”
The emotional entanglement between Shuyun and Meng Zhenhua happened after Meng Zhenhua’s divorce, it was Meng Yan who twisted right and wrong, pushing the blame onto Shuyun, insisting Meng Zhenhua abandoned the family because of Shuyun.
Meng Yan gnashed her teeth, her eyes wishing they could tear Meng Shuyou apart, anger piling up in her chest with nowhere to vent.
She had never been hit from childhood to now, and this bitch Meng Shuyou actually dared to lay hands on her.
For now, she couldn’t get the upper hand and could only swallow this insult, “Just you wait!”
