Chapter 101:
Meng Shuyou tearfully accused with misty eyes, “You’re bullying me…”
If she had known it would be like this, she wouldn’t have helped him.
Pei Yuzhou pressed her hand on the pillow, “Bullying you and you’re biting so tightly? Can’t bear for me to leave?”
Meng Shuyou’s voice was muffled, “No… I didn’t…”
Pei Yuzhou hooked his lips and reached out to brush away the scattered hair on her face, “Saying one thing but meaning another.”
She really couldn’t take it anymore and randomly called out to him.
“Mister Pei.”
“Pei Yuzhou…”
“Bastard…”
Pei Yuzhou took it all in stride.
–
Meng Shuyou had originally planned to go to the hospital early to accompany her older sister, but she overslept and didn’t wake up until ten in the morning.
Breakfast had already been delivered to the room.
She got up and washed up, sat down at the dining table to eat breakfast, wearing a man’s shirt with kiss marks covering the slightly open collar.
Pei Yuzhou’s clothes were all custom-made, the fabric very comfortable, loose on her body, the hem reaching her thighs, completely wearable as a short skirt.
Breakfast was the steamed buns, runny egg, and soy milk that she loved.
Pei Yuzhou had just finished a telephone call; the airplane had been arranged, “Handle things here today, return to America tomorrow morning.”
Meng Shuyou nodded, “Okay.”
The doorbell rang.
Pei Yuzhou went to open the door.
Mark stood outside the door, “Mister, President Meng is here, says it’s to sign the property transfer with Miss Meng, should he come up?”
Pei Yuzhou stepped aside and looked at Meng Shuyou, “See him?”
She bit into an egg and chewed, “Don’t want to see him.”
Pei Yuzhou sat back down beside her, “Don’t want the property?”
“I…”
Meng Shuyou actually didn’t want any more involvement with the Meng Family; she was afraid that once she accepted Meng Zhenhua’s things, there would be endless trouble later. Mister Pei could protect her for a while, but not forever.
“Mister Pei, thank you for standing up for me that day, but I don’t want to have any ties with him.”
Pei Yuzhou rested his hand on the chair back behind her, “Though his things are indeed not worth much, if you don’t take them, it’ll just benefit others.”
Meng Shuyou paused, instantly persuaded.
He was right; if she didn’t take it, it might benefit Meng Yan. Now Meng Zhenhua only had these two daughters left; with Meng Yan’s methods, she would definitely find ways to get the Meng Family’s property.
“I’ll see him.”
Pei Yuzhou instructed, “Mark, bring him up.”
“Yes, Mister.” Mark turned and went downstairs.
Pei Yuzhou ruffled the little girl’s hair, “Go change clothes.”
He didn’t want anyone to see her like this, not even her biological father.
“Mm.” Meng Shuyou put down her chopsticks and returned to the bedroom.
She even had kiss marks on her legs, so she could only wear trousers.
Fifteen minutes later.
Mark brought in Meng Zhenhua and his lawyer.
Meng Shuyou had changed into casual clothes and returned to the dining table to drink soy milk.
Meng Zhenhua spoke up in greeting, “Mr. Kerwin.”
Pei Yuzhou ignored him and took a tissue to wipe the soy milk residue from the corner of Meng Shuyou’s mouth.
Meng Zhenhua stood there slightly embarrassed and spoke again, “Yaoyao.”
His tone mild, even ingratiating.
Meng Shuyou wasn’t used to hearing it; he was never anything but commanding, questioning, or angry in tone, only putting on the image of a loving father in front of outsiders.
She put down her cup and looked up.
In just two short days, he looked much more weathered, as if he had aged ten years.
The lawyer took out a folder from his briefcase, opened it, and handed it over, “Miss Meng, these are all the properties and shops under President Meng’s personal name; today they will all be transferred to your name. Please review.”
Pei Yuzhou looked up, “Mark, you look.”
“Okay.” Mark took the folder and carefully flipped through it.
About five minutes later, after browsing it all, he handed it to Meng Shuyou, “Miss Meng, the contract has no issues.”
Meng Shuyou said “thank you” and shifted her gaze to Meng Zhenhua, “I have one more condition.”
“Tell me; if I can do it, I certainly will.”
“I want you to kick Meng Yan out of the Meng Family.”
Meng Zhenhua hesitated, “This…”
If it had been before, for doing something so damaging to the Meng Family’s reputation, he would have unhesitatingly discarded this chess piece, but in these two days too many changes had happened—his wife had cuckolded him, his son had overnight become someone else’s—some things he no longer had the energy to care about.
No matter what, Meng Yan was after all his biological daughter, raised by his side for over twenty years; kicking her out now, he was a bit reluctant.
“Can’t do it?” Meng Shuyou furrowed her brows, “Didn’t you raise your daughter just for a marriage alliance to gain benefits? Meng Yan shouldn’t have much value to you anymore, right? Her staying in the Meng Family will only bring you shame, no?”
