The Cherished Old Time - C165
Yu Meng woke up very early. Although she was still tired, but to be alone in this double bed, it seemed as if she had something on her mind and was unable to sleep soundly.
She changed into a new set of clothes, washed her face and put on a simple light makeup. After hesitating for a bit, she decided to put on the necklace that Shang Hui had given her.
She had already finished cooking the noodles, and it was already 9 in the morning, but Shang Hui was still stuck in bed and had not woken up.
He was complaining as he hit the floor. What a spoiled lazy young master.
Only after a while did Shang Hui slowly open the door for Yu Meng.
That person’s eyes were hazy and sleepy. His hair was in a mess on top of his head. His originally alluring black eyes were blurry and could not be opened. His skin seemed to be whiter than it was under the light of the lantern.
He was wearing a white robe with the belt at his waist loose. The robe was wide open, and Yu Meng could see the man’s stiff chest and firm lower abdomen.
Putting aside this person’s annoying personality, just by looking at it this way, it was indeed a type that most girls would find hard to resist.
Shang Hui yawned leisurely.
Yu Meng snapped out of her daze. “If you keep sleeping, the sun will scorch your ass!”
Shang Hui seemed to be a little impatient as he frowned and complained.
“I’m not awake yet.” It took him a long time to widen his eyes. “You old people really don’t feel much. You slept so late last night, and you’re not sleepy today?”
Yu Meng viciously pinched his arm.
“AHH!”
Shang Hui cried out in pain, and immediately opened his eyes wide, looking at Yu Meng in shock: “What are you crazy about?!”
Yu Meng found his appearance to be really funny.
“Are you awake now?”
Shang Hui rubbed his arms. Seeing Yu Meng pinch her neck red, she could not help but squint and threw Yu Meng into her arms. She bit onto her neck fiercely.
Yu Meng didn’t have time to dodge. When she came back to her senses, the pain in her neck was already there.
She clutched her neck as she retreated, glaring furiously at him.
“Shang Hui, what are you doing?!”
The perpetrator leaned against the door frame with a complacent expression and leisurely said, “I’m going to change.”
He turned and entered the room, but the door was wide open.
Yu Meng’s face turned red as she turned around and ran.
In the bathroom, in the mirror in front of the sink, Yu Meng saw the red and swollen mark on her neck. It was Shang Hui who had bitten into it just now.
If she were to see Du Qinyi today, it would truly be embarrassing for her.
Yu Meng used a lot of powder and concealer to try to cover the mark, but no matter what, there would still be a pale pink mark left.
Helpless, Yu Meng could only change her clothes with a slightly higher collar.
After Yu Meng changed her clothes, Shang Hui had finished packing up. After eating breakfast, he seemed to be in a good mood.
They had agreed to meet at a Chinese restaurant. The environment here was graceful, with an ancient fragrance, and even at the peak of lunch, the place was still quiet and peaceful.
They went to the advanced VIP rooms in the specially designed fake mountain bamboo forest on the second floor.
Du Qinyi arrived earlier than them, and when she saw Yu Meng again, she was both shocked and dissatisfied.
“Why are you here as well?”
“Let me see how you’re going to ruin my dad’s company.”
“Yu’s belongs to me now, watch your words.” Du Qinyi raised her eyebrows. Yu Meng was most annoyed by her arrogant arrogance.
“Soon it will no longer be yours.” Shang Hui pulled up a chair for Yu Meng to sit on. He sat beside her, the two of them were very close.
Yu Meng calmly moved her chair to the side.
Shang Hui put his arm on the back of the chair behind Yu Meng and whispered in her ear, “Do you still want to join the company?”
Yu Meng blanked out for a moment before silently moving the chair back.
Du Qinyi was preoccupied with her own thoughts, she did not notice anything strange about the two.
“I don’t understand Boss Shang’s words.” Du Qinyi was straightforward when she sat down, there was no need to dawdle.
“Even if it is in accordance with the contract, it is still 50/50 each.”
“I want the shares of all the Yu’s in your hands.” Shang Hui looked at Du Qinyi with a cold gaze, as if he would not allow himself to give in at all.
Du Qinyi could not help but sneer, “What if I don’t want to?”
“Miss Du, don’t be in such a hurry to reject my offer. I suggest that you listen to the conditions I give you first.”
“I’m all ears.”
“As far as I know, the situation in the Du’s is not looking good. Not only do they pay for their assets, they also owe a lot of debt.”
Du Qinyi’s eyes revealed her guilt, but she pretended to be calm.
“I don’t need you to worry about me.”
“The external debt that the Miss Du owes you. Even if you bought the shares of the Yu’s you wouldn’t be able to pay it all back.”
At this moment, Du Qinyi’s face was already extremely ugly.
“Give me all the shares you have in the Yu’s. I will help you pay off the debts of the Du’s and allow you to use my Shang Clan’s name to start over.”
As Du Qinyi listened, her eyes could not help but light up.
Seemingly because these conditions were too tempting, Du Qinyi could not help but ask again to confirm: “Are you really willing to help me?”
Shang Hui pursed his lips, his cold eyes filled with incomprehension.
“Of course, as long as you agree to my request.”
Yu Meng did not know what Shang Hui was planning, but she was sure that he did not have such a good intention to help Du’s.
If Du Qinyi was smarter, she would know that there was no such thing as a free lunch in this world.
It was a pity that all of Du Qinyi’s intelligence was merely her own. She thought she could control everyone, but she couldn’t even control her own happiness.
Yu Meng looked at Du Qinyi and thought, hesitating until her eyes flashed with a crafty light and she nodded in agreement.
Yu Meng sighed softly in her heart.
Although Du Qinyi was bad, she was truly pitiful. Furthermore, all these years she had received her due retribution, Yu Meng did not wish for her to agree to Shang Hui’s request, even if it would benefit her.
Losing the Du’s meant that Du Qinyi was really finished.
However, Yu Meng did not have the position to illustrate, nor did she have the position to speak up for Du Qinyi.
Seeing that she thought she was being smart and thought she was using Shang Hui, but didn’t know that he had swallowed her like he was an elephant trampling an ant, Yu Meng couldn’t bear it anymore.
She deserved everything. Other than suppressing the pity in her heart, Yu Meng shouldn’t have done anything else.
Shang Hui had already prepared the contract long ago, after Du Qinyi nodded in agreement, he immediately took out the contract and let Du Qinyi sign it.
Du Qinyi read the contents of the contract carefully, but her expression became uglier.
“It’s not like that.” She shook her head and pushed the contract back to Shang Hui, “What you said just now was right … Why did it become a merchant house to buy the Du’s? ”
If he gave up the Yu’s and also gave up the Du’s to the Shang Clan for a real estate, Du Qinyi would truly have nothing left.
Shang Hui curled his lips in disdain and asked coldly: “What did Dujong think? Did you think I meant to give you money in your bank card so you could pay your debts? Let you start a company? ”
The last sentence seemed to be a tease, but it contained a sharp ridicule.
“I’ll only pay for my woman’s card.”
Du Qinyi seemed to be helpless against it. In the face of Shang Hui, she had initially thought that she was useless, but in the end, she was slowly stripped off her outer clothes, revealing her weakest and weakest side. She was grabbed by the weakness of others but was unable to retaliate.
She seemed to be carrying hope, but she walked towards a direction, and followed Shang Hui’s words: “Your woman? “CEO Shang’s meaning is …”
She had thought that she was so charming and had bewitched countless N-figures of bosses, firmly believing that Shang Hui was only one of them.
But in Shang Hui’s eyes, she was not even worth the fruit platter on the table.
“Miss Du, don’t misunderstand, I’m not interested in the old lady.”
These words stung Du Qinyi’s heart, and affected Yu Meng who was at the side.
Her eyebrows jumped, her mood complicated.
These few days, Shang Hui kept saying that she was old, which caused Yu Meng to question herself, was she really old? She was still several years away from being thirty, how could she be called an old woman?
Du Qinyi’s face turned white, but she still persisted on with her last stubborn pride.
“I will not sign this contract, take it back, CEO Shang. “I don’t have anything anyway, so what does it matter if I’m more miserable? It’s just that …” Du Qinyi saw the ring on Yu Meng’s neck long ago. The Du Family were connected to the ring from two generations ago, it was impossible that she did not know that the ring was a merchant’s treasure. She sneered: “I can see that Chief Shang likes Yu Meng, since Chief Shang is unwilling to let me, I don’t mind dragging Yu Meng and jumping down the abyss together. Yu’s will definitely live and die with my Du’s, I want to make Yu Meng waste all her efforts, and make her suffer the wrath of the Yu Family elders for her entire life!”
Du Qinyi said until she gritted her teeth, and no one knew if she was angry or laughing at the end.
Shang Hui did not seem to have much patience, to be able to listen to such a long string of words from Du Qinyi was already the most righteous thing he could give.
He stood up, supported himself with his hands on the table and leaned forward. His closed eyes sized her up, causing Du Qinyi’s hands and feet to go numb.
Shang Hui lowered his voice and said softly.
I’m afraid Miss Du has misjudged the situation. Now it’s you who should beg me to help you guys, and merge into the Shang Family … At the very least, you father and daughter still have a place to stay, so that no one will be able to catch up to you on the streets.
Du Qinyi’s eyes were covered by a layer of grey mist, causing her to be unable to see Shang Hui’s face clearly. Her petite body continuously leaned back, as though she was about to be socketed into the chair.
Shang Hui’s every word was filled with heaviness and oppression, and for a moment, Du Qinyi felt it difficult to even breathe.
“It doesn’t matter if you die. I just feel sorry for Uncle Du. How could he have such a stupid daughter like you?” Shang Hui straightened his back and took off his thin jacket from the rack behind him. It was suitable for Yu Meng to get up and help her put it on.
On one hand, he was trying to force her into a corner, while on the other, he was patiently trying to force her into a corner.
Du Qinyi sat on the chair in a daze, her entire body trembling.
Why, why was it that in the end, when all kinds of things had happened to Remnant Dream, she was forced to such a state?!
Shang Hui brought Yu Meng and left, from the beginning to the end, she did not say a word, only looked at her with eyes filled with sympathy. Du Qinyi hated this look to the extreme, she would rather be hated than be pitied.
“Miss Du, you have 12 hours to consider. If you agree, then sign the contract and send it over. If you don’t agree, then in the future, you and your father will be forced to the streets. Don’t come to me to regret it.”
After Shang Hui finished saying his last sentence, he turned around with the strength of his body and closed the door of the room heavily. Along with these words, he smashed heavily onto Du Qinyi’s heart.
The tides had turned … Du Qinyi knew many people who wanted to see the outcome of her battle.
She had wanted face the most in her life, but she couldn’t even keep her only skin.
After so many nights of walking, he finally met a ghost. Du Qinyi was really afraid.
