Chapter 94:
Hels, America’s old money family, has a deep background. It originally started in finance, establishing the first private bank, and later its industrial chain gradually expanded to medical, shipping, technology… Its business territory spans the globe, and to this day, its wealth and resources are immeasurable.
If he had known Meng Shuyou had such great value, he would certainly have coaxed and pampered her well, not letting things reach this point.
“Is that so? Wasn’t it you who wanted to sell your daughter, making her enter a marriage alliance for this pittance of benefit?” Pei Yuzhou wiped away the tear tracks under Meng Shuyou’s eyes, his voice as languid as ever. “If the company really can’t hold on, it can declare bankruptcy. What do you say, President Meng?”
The warning in his words was very strong.
Meng Zhenhua’s expression stiffened as he forcibly defended himself. “It’s really a misunderstanding. Yaoyao is my daughter, and I’m also hoping for her to find a good home early.”
Pei Yuzhou glanced at the Xu Family members, his gaze deep and obscure. “This is the good home you found for her?”
Meng Zhenhua was at a loss for words.
Zhao Hesong watched the drama from the side. “Does finding a good home require forcing her? Not to mention she’s so young, hasn’t even finished university.”
Meng Zhenhua was pinned there and could only lower his head. “This matter is all my fault. I didn’t know beforehand about Yaoyao’s relationship with Mister Kerwin.”
Pei Yuzhou spoke faintly. “So, you still want this daughter?”
Meng Zhenhua answered without hesitation. “Of course. Yaoyao will always be my daughter.”
Meng Shuyou only found these words hypocritical. What daughter? Clearly just a chess piece he could use.
Pei Yuzhou curled his lip. “Since that’s the case, then make a will and leave all the property to her.”
Meng Zhenhua was stunned.
How could the Meng Family’s property be left to Meng Shuyou? She would marry out later, becoming an outsider.
Before he could figure out how to respond, Lin Peilan couldn’t sit still. “How can that be!”
All of the Meng Family’s property must go to her son. No one else could touch it!
“Why not?” Pei Yuzhou’s expression was indifferent. “You should now consider whether you want the Meng Family to go bankrupt or leave the property to Meng Shuyou.”
His tone was flat, without needing to try, the intimidation from those in power pressed in intangibly.
Meng Zhenhua didn’t doubt the sincerity in his words at all and hastily explained. “Mister Kerwin, after all, Yaoyao isn’t my only daughter. Doing this isn’t too fair, and moreover, she doesn’t understand company management…”
Pei Yuzhou didn’t want to hear his nonsense. “When you were exchanging your daughter for benefits and plotting deeply for your son, why didn’t you consider fairness?”
The words Meng Zhenhua had at the tip of his tongue were blocked.
Pei Yuzhou gently turned Meng Shuyou’s chin, continuing to apply pressure. “Also, she’s been beaten like this—did you, as her father, not see it?”
Meng Zhenhua immediately turned to question Meng Yan. “Why did you hit her so hard?”
Meng Yan’s body shrank back. “Dad, I…”
She couldn’t say the real reason. With so many people present, saying it out would completely ruin her reputation.
“It was Meng Shuyou who first mocked me for being dumped.”
Zhao Hesong suddenly interjected. “How come I heard it was because Miss Meng Yan had a false pregnancy, which was seen through by Zhao Yunrui, that the engagement was broken off?”
As the words fell, Meng Yan’s pupils dilated, and she raised her voice to retort. “I didn’t!”
Her reaction only proved her guilt more.
Meng Zhenhua raised his hand and slapped Meng Yan across the face.
“Pa—”
He struck hard.
Meng Yan’s half face burned with pain, her ears buzzing, the slap mark clearly visible.
Meng Zhenhua vented all his anger on her. “You’ve completely lost all the Meng Family’s face!”
