Mei Shouren went to the province to clear Mei Shouyan's name. I quickly placed an assistant by his side. He walked briskly, his brows furrowed with anxiety. While Mei Shouren was conspiring with others, my message had already reached the Gu Family. The game had begun, the actors were in position, and it was time for the curtain to fall.
With Mei Shouren not at home, I took the opportunity to dismiss his two assistants. They cried and refused to leave. I gently reassured them, "I know you are loyal to the Mei Family."
"But think about it, the Mei Family is currently in turmoil, and how long have you been with them?"
"When a new official takes office, someone has to take the blame."
"I appreciate your hard work; I will give each of you an extra two months' salary. You can seek new opportunities."
The two assistants exchanged glances and silently left. I waved my hand, and Zhu immediately brought in security.
I pointed inside the room, "Take all my belongings."
"A stool and a book; they are part of my dowry."
"Count carefully; don't leave a single item behind."
Zhu nodded, "Understood."
By the time my mother-in-law found out, I had already returned to my villa with my people. She was furious and smashed my favorite set of blue-and-white porcelain tea sets, splashing tea at me: "How dare you!"
I wiped the tea off my face and smiled, "Why wouldn't I dare?"
My mother-in-law was infuriated, her cheeks flushed: "When my son returns, I will make him divorce you!"
I blinked innocently: "But we are already divorced."
I pulled out the divorce certificate from my pocket and waved it in front of her.
"You see, your son had this planned all along; I was merely going with the flow."
My mother-in-law clutched her chest, "You, you, you—"
I stood up, my smile fading, my gaze turning icy. "Mother-in-law, you always say I'm not a virtuous wife and good mother."
"Unfortunately, I am the Precious Daughter of the Gu Family; it is you who forced me to become this way."
I turned around, like a proud peacock, leaving in my high heels.
On the tenth day after returning home, my assistant brought news from the Provincial Capital.
The Board of Directors expressed suspicion, and Mei Shouyan fearfully acquiesced.
A certain consortium's young master was involved in deceitful practices and senseless slaughter.
All of this sparked great anger from the Board of Directors.
To hold the young master accountable for his crimes, the Supervisory Department would stop at nothing.
In a bid for self-preservation, the young master's mother and the president reluctantly offered up a scapegoat.
Mei Shouren was fabricated to have committed suicide out of guilt.
Mei Shouyan met with an accident while on the run.
I felt a sense of relief wash over me.
On the day the Nie Group was sealed off, I went to take a look.
Old Madam Mei, Mei Shouren's mother, was being escorted out by the police.
Upon seeing me, her eyes instantly turned fierce.
She struggled desperately, pointing at me and cursing, "You shameless woman! You bring misfortune!"
I raised an eyebrow, "Matriarch, why such words?"
The police urged her to be quiet, but she refused to listen and continued to struggle.
"Weren't you the one who said that once the company went public, you'd kick this bringer of misfortune out?"
"And now? What have you done to our Mei Family?"
I was left utterly confused by the scolding: "Where is this coming from?"
My mother-in-law sneered, "Don't play dumb; you know exactly what I'm talking about."
I shook my head, "I truly don't know."
"Besides, it was Mei Shouren who abandoned me."
"He tampered with business projects, involved in commercial fraud and insider trading. Once exposed, he was sentenced to prison; it's his own fault."
"As a mother, how can you not think about the livelihoods of the thousands of employees at Nie Group?"
"His crimes are heinous; he shouldn't claim innocence."
My mother-in-law looked at me unwillingly until she spat out a mouthful of blood.
After the Mei Family was sealed off, Nie Group was taken over by a new company.
From then on, the Mei Family crumbled like a collapsing building, never to see glorious days again.
Meanwhile, our Gu Family continued to thrive and prosper.
