Chapter 16

Xiaohui doubted Grandpa Zheng's statement. Meixiu didn't buy any of it as she already knew what kind of people they are.

Xiaohui still decided to give her grandfather a second chance. She nodded her head and gave him a small smile.

"Ok, let's go back then."

"Can you call Ms. Zhong? She already left the party."

Xiaohui nodded her head and decided to bring out her phone. She looks through her contract and dials Wenqian.

"Hello, Ms. Zhong?"

"Why did you suddenly call me? Ms. Zheng?"

"Grandpa just wanted to say sorry for what happened earlier. He is asking if you could still go back. He said he is going to announce the real director."

Wenqian smiled knowingly.

"Ok, I'll turn the car around and meet you at the venue."

After saying that, she hang up the call and told her driver to go back. Xiaohui breathed a sigh of relief and look at her grandfather.

"She'll come back."

Grandpa Zheng nodded his head and grab Xiaohui's hand to guide her back to the Villa. Meixiu just look at their figure as Grandpa Zheng purposely left her behind.

-

Going back to the party, Xiaohui was officially announced as the company director. This made Qiang and Mingxia hate her more.

They think she did something for the Vice-Chairman to like her. But it's not Xiaohui, it's Meixiu.

After the party, Meixiu and Xiaohui both went home to rest. Meixiu didn't disturb Xiaohui as the girl seems tired because she never talk to her.

It was fine for Meixiu.

Now, Meixiu is laying down on the floor to sleep. Her phone vibrated, opening her eyes wide to look at the bed.

Xiaohui seems to be in her dreamland already. She quickly gets her phone and opens the messages.

RD, we caught someone who might have killed Mr. Gunner.

Ok, pick me up and bring a coat.

Meixiu didn't hesitate to stand up and leave the room quietly. She didn't dare to change her clothes and straightly walk outside.

A few minutes went by, and the same expensive car and man walk out, handing her the coat she requested.

Meixiu wore it.

"Did you get any information?"

"Not yet, we have been asking him but he won't answer."

Meixiu nodded her head and hop in inside the car. The man drives fast. A few minutes later, they reach their destination.

The secret hideout of the Song Mafia or more known as Shé Hēishǒu dǎng.

Song Mafia is a well-known illegal mafia around Jiangqiao. If they are to compare it to other illegal mob works in the nearby town, it would still be powerful.

They have one enemy and it is from Liangtai. It is said that they despise Song Mafia because they grab their crown from them.

Meixiu steps inside the hideout where most of the mafia are. Everyone was shocked to see their daughter of Gunner as they never heard anyone talk that she was coming.

As fast as lighting, everyone quickly stands up and bows down to pay respect to Meixiu.

The girl didn't dare to greet them and continue walking. She has already memorized the hideout as she has been there a couple of times.

She quickly went to one of the rooms.

"Is it him? Just one?"

"RD, he is the leader of the gang."

A gang? A gangster killed my father?

Meixiu was enraged with what she just heard. Song Changpu is a well-known illegal mob boss around their town but didn't know what he looks like.

Changpu was known for his illegal name which is Gunner. It is said that he had a child that will manage the Mafia in the future.

And as the news of his passing, everyone readies themselves to take over the top rank in the underworld.

But to their surprise, the Song Mafia is still striving despite their leader is gone. Now, everyone is on the move to kill the successor.

"What? I thought it's a son" the man suddenly spoke upon seeing Meixiu.

The girl just gave him an innocent smile before approaching him, with a knife in hand.

"It's a girl but did you kill my father?"

Meixiu brought the knife near the man's neck. The man gulps before he shakes his head.

"We are there but we're not the ones who kill Gunner!"

"Then who is it?"

The man thinks for a while before shaking his head.

"I... Don't know. But I believe it was someone angry at Gunner" the man said.

Meixiu pressed the knife more to the man's neck.

"Of course! It's my father's enemy."

After saying that, Meixiu removes the knife from the man's neck.

"I don't know who killed him but I will find out and you are going to come with me."

"What? But I have my own-"

"I know, I didn't mean to mean as you will be part of this mafia."

Meixiu removes the handcuffs of the man. She also unties the rope from the man's feet.

"And how are you so sure? I won't betray you?"

Meixiu stands up from crouching and raises her eyebrows at what the man just said.

"You should have already attacked me earlier, Fan Zixin" Meixiu said and walk away.

Fan Zixin is a well-known gangster around Jiangqiao. Zixin was known to be the dog of the mob bosses and the richest.

Zixin's business is mainly about protecting the richest and mob bosses and scamming the people to invest in a fake investment fund.

He covers almost every fake investment fund around town but some people still want to join him in scamming.

-

Meixiu was busy cooking food for lunch when her phone suddenly vibrated through her pocket.

She picks it up without looking at the caller ID.

"Meixiu! Go and come here! Help me with something!"

"Mom? Where are you?"

"Just go here! I am near the market!"

After speaking, Xiaowen hangs up the call. Meixiu shrugged her shoulder before she finished cooking the food.

She quickly washes her hands and walks out of the house, hoping in her scooter and driving towards her mother-in-law.

Meixiu furrows her eyebrows upon seeing a lot of people yelling outside a store. She quickly approaches her mother.

"Mom, what happened?"

"Good thing you're here, go on and join on yelling with me."

Even though confused, Meixiu held the poster that Xiaowen gave her and yells as if that's what Xiaowen wants.

"Mom? What is it with this store anyway?"

"The house money! I use it to invest here because it said it will double everything!"

"All of the money!?" Meixiu was shocked when she heard what Xiaowen just said.

Xiaowen glares at her.

Is she the one giving that money? It's my daughter's!

"So what? It's my daughter's money, not yours!"

"Xiaowen is that your daughter-in-law?"

"Yeah, that useless wife of Xiaohui."

"I'm embarrassed for you! Look at me, my son-in-law is earning a million yuan per year!"

Xiaowen blushed at the embarrassment.

"Sisters, this is Meixiu but she will divorce my daughter soon enough and I will have Tingfeng as my son-in-law!"

"Xie Tingfeng? I'm jealous! He is an heir of the Xie Company."

Xiaowen smirks and puts her chin up.

"Yeah, he likes my daughter but Meixiu came and ruined everything" glaring at Meixiu in disgust.

The girl just listens to whatever they are talking about. Cursing the others as she was being talked badly.

"If you are close with Young Master Xie, then call him to help us out! Why would you call that useless daughter-in-law?"

"Yeah! She is right!"

Xiaowen nodded her head and bring out her phone to call Tingfeng. After a few rings, the call was connected.

"Hello? Auntie Xiaowen?"

"Tingfeng! Am I disturbing you?"

"No, what can I do for you?"

"This company just scammed me and my sisters by saying they will double our money after a week! It's been a week and we are here to collect the money but they said it's not for doubling!"

"Is that so? Let me go there and check it myself!"

After saying that, Tingfeng hang up. Xiaowen looks at Meixiu who's still yelling and waving the poster.

"Bastard! Don't try now! Tingfeng is coming here to save me and my sisters!"

"Yeah! Stop that already!"

Meixiu stops what she's doing and looks at Xiaowen.

"Mom, the house money is 150,000 yuan! How can you use it all to invest in a fake investment fund!?"

Xiaowen looks at Meixiu in confusion before she sneered at her.

"What are you saying? At least I am helping my daughter with earning the money! Just now that everything messed up! It's because of you!"
