Mei Shouren was anxious and agitated, his mouth full of bubbles. He paced back and forth in the room, making me dizzy.
"Minmin, you have to help me this time," he said. "Whether the Mei Family can survive this crisis depends entirely on you."
I sighed, "I've already given you all my savings; what more do you want from me?"
He pressed his lips together. "Your personal assets."
I stood up in shock. "That was given to me by the Gu Family."
Mei Shouren replied, "I initially had no idea; I was misled and took a wrong turn."
"Now, only by erasing the traces of the past can the Mei Family survive."
I frowned. "How much do we need?"
Mei Shouren took a deep breath and said solemnly, "One hundred million."
I swayed slightly and had to hold onto the table to steady myself. "That much?"
Mei Shouren nodded. "I've estimated it; only this amount can fill the holes from the past."
I lowered my head, my voice muffled. "I recently invested all my money with the Gu Family; it will take at least five years to see any returns."
Mei Shouren was taken aback and exclaimed, "What project did you invest in that takes so long?"
I looked up at him. "I'm not very clear on the specifics, but I promise I'll give you all the returns when they come."
Mei Shouren stared at me intensely, his eyes filled with madness and helplessness, which made me want to laugh.
He gritted his teeth and nodded. "Alright."
The Nie Residence began frantically selling off assets. My grandmother's private collection, valuable furniture from my room, and other precious items were all converted into cash. However, there was still a significant gap to reach one hundred million.
My grandmother fixed her gaze on the bracelet on my wrist and coldly snorted, "Hand it over."
I took off the bracelet and said softly, "Mom, I really can't do anything right now. Please give me two days, and I will definitely seek help from my family."
My mother-in-law gritted her teeth and replied, "You better keep your word."
At the nightclub, a fierce fight broke out over a female model between Mei Shouyan and the only son of a high-ranking government official.
Unfortunately, someone was killed in the altercation.
The situation quickly escalated and ended up in court.
Mei Shouren took a big gulp of tea and said, "I'm heading to the Provincial Capital now."
I nodded obediently, "You can go with peace of mind."
As Mei Shouren boarded the plane, I smiled at him.
He was always smart; how could he not know that murder is not something that can be easily covered up?
However, I knew that this trip was for negotiations.
I had already arranged for an assistant to wait there, ready to relay information at any time.
Mei Shouren went straight to the official's home.
The two of them had a long private conversation.
When Mei Shouren left, he smiled and said, "Please don't forget our agreement in Jiangnan."
The official chuckled, "Don't worry; we have cooperated for many years and have always been happy."
"Our family's group in Jiangnan owes much to you."
Mei Shouren replied, "You're too kind."
When the news came through, I was drinking bird's nest soup.
Zhu said indignantly, "The official clearly knows he is greedy but still collaborates with him; it's truly heartless."
I finished my bird's nest soup and replied calmly, "There are no completely clean people in this world."
Zhu asked, "Madam, you don't seem worried?"
I looked out at the withering leaves swaying precariously and said, "I am worried; it's just that I've known since childhood that one must take things step by step."
" Zhu, in this world, the path is either a leap to success or a gradual advance."
"You see, the autumn wind has risen."
Zhu looked at me with confusion.
I smiled and said, "It's nothing, go ahead and get busy."
I lay on the rocking chair, covered with a blanket, my thoughts slowly drifting away.
"Minmin, you are the daughter of the Gu Family. You were born in Rome, so you naturally don't need to take shortcuts."
"You just need to advance step by step to get everything you want."
Grandfather's words echoed in my ears.
I touched the bracelet on my wrist.
Mei Shouren, you promised me a smooth life.
But you became the one who pushed me off the cliff.
It's okay, I can climb back up.
