Chapter 40

"Are you sure? You want me to drop you here, Ms. Song?"

Suyin asked Meixiu, who nodded her head.

Meixiu instructed Suyin to drop her off near the market as she still needed to buy groceries for dinner.

Suyin was hesitant as Meixiu would need to walk in the hot weather if she finished grocery shopping.

"I can accompany you."

"No, dropping me off is a big help already."

Suyin nodded and looked around, not knowing what to say to Meixiu.

"I'll get going now."

Meixiu broke the silence and looked at her. The smaller smiles and bows her head, letting Meixiu go away first.

Meixiu walks away from her. Suyin sighed and went inside her car, starting the engine to return to their villa.

Meixiu stops and brings her phone out.

"RD, why did you call?"

"Fetch me in the market near our house. I need to talk to Weimin."

"Yes, on it."

Meixiu hangs up and crosses her arms. She whistles and looks around the area.

"Huh! Are you here to buy groceries for Xiaohui?"

Meixiu looked at her back and saw Tingfeng. The guy decided to show himself again as he's healed.

"Yes, do you have any problem with that?"

Tingfeng shakes his head and raises both of his hands.

"I already did. You don't need to buy it. You let Auntie Xiaowen and Grandma Peng starve!"

Tingfeng said and glared at Meixiu. The girl raises her eyebrows at what he said.

"Excuse me? We have food in the house."

"Yeah, leftovers."

Tingfeng put the groceries down and approached Meixiu. He points at her chest and sneers.

"They don't like your food."

"Then cook for them. And as far as I know, only Mom doesn't like it."

"You think so? Grandma Peng is complaining as well! She said she's been eating the same food every day. She's sick of it."

Meixiu could only frown. Grandma Peng always likes Meixiu's dishes. What is he talking about?

Tingfeng smirks and crosses his arms. He nodded at himself upon seeing Meixiu's reaction to what he said.

All he needs to do is lie to affect Meixiu.

Tingfeng clears his throat, grabbing the groceries in the process. He manages to get Meixiu's attention.

"Xiaohui ordered me to get Auntie Xiaowen and Grandma Peng foods. She said she doesn't want to eat your leftovers."

"You're lying."

"Huh! Do you think so? You can ask Xiaohui for clarification."

Tingfeng smiles in victory before leaving Meixiu. As he's walking, someone bumps into him, making all the groceries scatter on the ground.

"Watch where you're going!"

He stands up and yells. He glares at the man, who only bows and didn't say anything. He scoffs and follows him with his eyes.

Tingfeng furrows his eyebrows upon seeing him talking with Meixiu. He decided to hide behind the bushes.

"He's respectful to her? What's so special to that rubbish?"

He saw the man guiding Meixiu towards a car. He widened his eyes when he saw the expensive car Meixiu was going to ride.

He stands up and decided to run to his car, to follow Meixiu wherever she's going.

"Who is this rubbish?"

Tingfeng started his car and caught up with Meixiu. The girl was silently thinking inside the car when she felt the automobile fasten.

She looks at the driver.

"What's the matter?"

"We're being followed."

Meixiu furrowed her eyebrows and looked at the back. She saw Tingfeng's car making her scoff.

"Why is he following us? He wants to lie at my face again?"

"Do you know who owns that car? We can kill him."

"I do and don't kill him. If he did something, I'm going to kill him myself."

The man nodded and turned left. Meixiu watches as Tingfeng caught up with them.

"There's an ongoing construction nearby. Lure him there."

The driver nodded and turned left again. He presses on the accelerator.

Tingfeng followed suit, but he didn't expect the car to fly. He quickly steps onto the break and punches the steering wheel.

"I don't think that car is real. She manages to fly across the wall."

"Don't use this car again. Also, let someone fix it."

Meixiu sat down on the seat and looked at the mirror. The man nodded as they continued to follow the path.

-

"Welcome back, Young Master."

"Where's Weimin?"

Meixiu looked at the maids, lining at the side and bowing their heads. The head maid raises her head, grabbing Meixiu's attention.

"He is with Mingzhu. They are in the garden."

Meixiu smiled and nodded. She walked towards the sliding door and saw Weimin and Mingzhu in the gazebo.

She slowly approaches them.

"Mingzhu, I like you. Do you want to go out with me?"

Meixiu stops for a while to listen to their conversation.

Mingzhu looks at Weimin hesitantly. She smiles at the guy apologetically, and Weimin smiles in understanding.

"You're still hoping for Meixiu, right?"

Meixiu furrows her eyebrows upon hearing her name. She crossed her arms and sat down on the grass.

"Yeah, Mr. Song promised me to be the wife. I didn't know someone will get her before I turned eighteen."

"Mingzhu, Meixiu is 4 years older than you. And she already has a wife. You can learn how to love me, just give me a chance."

Weimin held both Mingzhu's hands. The younger suddenly felt sad upon hearing what Weimin said.

Meixiu shakes her head before walking up to them.

"Weimin, Mingzhu."

Weimin quickly removes his hands and smiles at Meixiu.

"Why are you here?"

Meixiu sat down on the chair.

"Can't I be here? I need to talk to you."

Mingzhu clears her throat before bowing down at Meixiu.

"Welcome back."

Meixiu smiles and nodded.

"I told you, stop bowing at me."

Mingzhu nodded and smiled. Weimin looks at her before grabbing Meixiu to talk to her.

"Did you hear anything?"

Meixiu furrows her eyebrows. She shakes her head, deciding to hide what she heard from them.

She put her confused face and look at Weimin.

"Are you two talking about something? I never heard anything."

Weimin eyed Meixiu.

This girl knows how to act. Is she lying?

After a while, Weimin nodded and sigh in relief. He didn't see any suspicious eyes from Meixiu and felt that she is sincere.

They both went back to the gazebo where Mingzhu is waiting for them both.

"Do you know Han Mingyu?"

Weimin sat down on the chair and nodded his head.

"Yeah, he is one of our dogs in Liangtai. Did something happen?"

"Are you sure? I feel like he's not worthy."

"How do you say so?"

Mingzhu sat down in front of Meixiu. The taller girl looked at her before raising her eyebrows.

"Do you know him?"

"Mingzhu met him a few times. He sometimes visits here."

Weimin said.

"This Han Mingyu decided to claim the property of Sapphire Group. Does he not know who's the owner of it?"

"Meixiu, that property is owned by the Song Mafia."

"Papa sold it."

"What!?"

Weimin stands up, shocking the two.

"I did hear Mr. Song talking about that land..."

Mingzhu said quietly. Weimin looked at her then sat down again, grabbing their attention.

"But, Mr. Song wants to build a house for you there. I remember he was very enthusiastic as he plans everything. What happened?"

Meixiu then remember what Jiang Yanlin told her. She suddenly remembers the key Yanlin gave to her.

"Wait, I remember..."

"What?"

"Jiang Yanlin gave me a key. He said it's a key to a new house."

"Jiang Yanlin?"

Mingzhu asks, not knowing if she knows someone named Jiang Yanlin.

Meixiu nodded and told them about what she discovered a few weeks back.

Weimin and Mingzhu were both shocked. They never imagine Meixiu being the heir of the Ren family.

The Song family is already powerful, then how about the Ren family? They are the Gods! In terms of wealth.

"Then, are you going to leave us?"

Mingzhu asks, fidgeting with her fingers. Meixiu smiles and shakes her head.

Jiang Yanlin did say someone wants her dead so she needs to hide for a while. And it might take her a few months or a year.

"I can't show myself. Everyone's under my tail."

"You know, Song mafia can still help you."

"Yeah, but they are much more powerful than us."

"Still, you have the head's support."

Weimin said. He stands up and patted Meixiu's shoulder. Mingzhu smiles and went to Meixiu, hugging the latter.

"We're always here."

Meixiu look at Weimin and invited him. The guy excitedly went in the hug.

"Weimin, don't forget we're going to attack Han Mingyu."
