Rebirth in 1986: Unforgettable Regrets

At three o'clock in the morning, all the information about Tang Yue was already laid out in front of Meng Yanzhi.

Meng Yanzhi didn't feel sleepy at all. The moment he got the information, he looked at the passport photo on it. Passport photos are usually unflattering, but the girl in this photo radiated youthfulness, with a gentle smile and sparkling eyes.

Meng Yanzhi stroked the photo with his hand, his gaze fixated on the two characters 'Tang Yue.'

So her name is Tang Yue, truly a woman who delights one's heart at a glance.

As Meng Yanzhi continued to read, Tang Yue's family background seemed quite ordinary, with her parents running a restaurant, which he didn't care much about.

Even Tang Mingli's garment factory didn't concern Meng Yanzhi.

Her outstanding high school achievements brought Meng Yanzhi a pleasant surprise, especially when he found out she was admitted to Jinghua as the Jiang Province's top scholar, the smile on his lips widened even more.

Turns out she was his junior. It seemed he should visit the school more often.

Meng Yanzhi, with his legs crossed, sat on the sofa, sipped some red wine, and already had a plan in mind on how to pursue Tang Yue.

Suddenly, Meng Yanzhi's pupils shrank when he saw the line that Tang Yue was already engaged, and he spat out all the red wine in his mouth.

Mo Siyu, an employee of Bailutong Team.

It was actually him.

Meng Yanzhi had thought Tang Yue's fiancé would be someone inconspicuous, but to his surprise, it was Mo Siyu, someone even Grandpa Lian praised.

It was said that Mo Siyu had a particular talent for business and was highly esteemed by Mr. Qin.

Meng Yanzhi touched his chin, revealing a playful smile. He took out a brick phone, dialed a number, and casually leaned back on the sofa.

"Who is it, calling late at night, don't you let people sleep?" A grumbling female voice came from the other end of the line.

"Meng Yanzhi," said Meng Yanzhi straight to the point.

"Young Master Meng, can't you see what time it is?" complained the woman, though she sounded much more awake.

"Liu Ying, don't you like Mo Siyu?" Meng Yanzhi said.

Liu Ying's sleepiness vanished instantly, she replied irritably, "Haven't you always known that?"

"I've already said, just talk to Grandpa Meng and let him transfer me to their medical office. Weren't you unwilling to help?" Liu Ying answered suspiciously.

"Do you still want to go now?" Meng Yanzhi asked.

"I do," answered Liu Ying without hesitation, and then questioned with confusion, "Meng Yanzhi, why did you suddenly come around? Are you really going to help me?"

Liu Ying said excitedly.

"Beep... Beep..." Liu Ying was excited to ask Meng Yanzhi, but he hung up the phone, leaving her so angry she almost smashed it.

Meng Yanzhi called her in the middle of the night just to say that?

Liu Ying couldn't figure it out. She rubbed her eyes and looked at the time—it was only half-past three.

The next morning, bright and early, Liu Ying went to Meng Yanzhi's house to confront him, but as Meng Yanzhi's whereabouts were always changing, she made a wasted trip.

At this time, Meng Yanzhi had returned to the Meng Family home.

"Grandpa, I've come to have breakfast with you." Meng Yanzhi entered the house, and in the living room, an old man with white hair was eating porridge, with several buns laid out next to him, which looked appetizing.

"Speak up, what trouble have you caused now?" Old Master Meng sipped his porridge, and although his hair had turned white and his face was wrinkled, his eyes were still piercing.

"Cough." Meng Yanzhi cleared his throat, grabbed a steamed bun to eat, and then said, "Nanny Wu, get me a glass of milk."

"Grandpa, I'm just here to see you, I haven't caused any trouble." Meng Yanzhi chuckled, finishing the steamed bun in moments.

Old Master Meng glanced at him and asked, "Don't you have class today?"

"Grandpa, have you forgotten? It's the weekend, and I just got off military training," Meng Yanzhi earnestly replied.

Old Master Meng took a sip of porridge and said, "Yanzhi, has your dad called you?"

Meng Yanzhi sat up straight and answered seriously, "No, Grandpa." Meng Yanzhi's eyes darted around, then he asked, "How about I go to find Dad during the National Day holiday?"

"No need." Old Master Meng put down his porridge and wiped his mouth, letting out a sigh, "If you could persuade your dad to come back, that would be better than anything."

Meng Yanzhi touched his nose. With Meng Jin's personality, if he could really be persuaded, it would have happened already. In name, he was Meng Jin's son, but he was actually raised by Grandpa.

Old Master Meng let out another sigh and didn't say much, just added, "Yanzhi, you're already in your second year of university. You're not going to the company and now you'd better not cause any more trouble at school either."

The Meng Family was in the machinery manufacturing business, and their machines were sold all over the country. He was getting older and found it increasingly difficult to manage the company affairs.

Unfortunately, his son Meng Jin had no interest in the company and instead ran far away, preferring to toil in machinery research and development rather than return to inherit the company.

His grandson Meng Yanzhi was also spoiled to the point of being lawless, with zero interest in the management of the company.

"Yes, Grandpa." Meng Yanzhi was just short of raising his hand to swear an oath as he said, "Grandpa, rest assured, I will definitely study hard in the future."

Old Master Meng continued to sip his tea, but choked a bit when he heard this. From childhood to adulthood, Meng Yanzhi had caused no small number of disasters. To now seriously talk about studying hard was truly unaccustomed to him.

"Do you have something you want to say?" Old Master Meng gave him a sharp look, sizing up Meng Yanzhi.

Meng Yanzhi chuckled awkwardly and said, "Grandpa knows me best. Well, it's like this, Grandpa knows about Liu Ying, right?"

"Liu Ying wants to transfer to the Bailutong Team to work as a doctor, and now she's asking me for help," Meng Yanzhi explained earnestly: "Liu Ying is one of our own, after all, and helping with this small favor is something Grandpa would do, right?"

At this moment, Meng Yanzhi had completely forgotten that Liu Ying's request to transfer to the team had already been asked half a year ago, and he had flatly refused it then.

"The Liu Family disagrees, and you want your grandpa to play the villain?" Old Master Meng scoffed lightly.

Meng Yanzhi coaxed, "Grandpa, how is this being the villain? Liu Ying wants to go there to be a doctor; that's a good thing."

"If it's such a good thing, why doesn't the Liu Family agree?" Old Master Meng raised an eyebrow; although he was old, he was still clearheaded about some matters.

Mr. Liu had intentions of finding a son-in-law for Liu Ying, and this son-in-law was planned to be picked from within the team. If Liu Ying really went there to be a doctor, wouldn't it just be a word from Mr. Liu?

Mr. Liu was also a notable figure within the team.

"Grandpa..." In front of Mr. Meng, Meng Yanzhi was like a big boy, pestering Mr. Meng relentlessly until finally, overwhelmed by the nagging, he said, "Ordering a transfer to the Bailutong Team is impossible, but in half a month, there will be an opportunity. Whether she can seize it will be up to her."

"Grandpa, you're the best." Meng Yanzhi hugged Mr. Meng joyfully, his laughter infectious.

Meng Yanzhi cleared his throat, standing in front of Mr. Meng and said, "Grandpa, I have another piece of good news."

Mr. Meng looked at him with a smile.

Meng Yanzhi said, "I've taken a liking to a girl, and she should be your future granddaughter-in-law."

"Oh?" Mr. Meng looked at Meng Yanzhi in surprise and asked, "You've had so many girlfriends, and this is the first one you're reporting to me."

"Grandpa, I want to marry her, so naturally, I have to report to you," Meng Yanzhi said with a beaming smile.

Mr. Meng asked, "Where's that girl from? How old is she? What does she do? What does she look like?"
