Chapter 403: Always a daddy’s girl.
Mei Mei threw the paper down and declared, "I am not paying twenty three million for a frivolous lawsuit. I did not make that man pick up the squirrel. It is programmed to warn any thief to put it back down three times. After the third warning, the punishment is given. It is not my fault that he refused to heed the warning. I am not going to let this ruin my work-vacation." She turned her eyes to Muyang. "Daddy, help me deal with this."
Chi Lian rolled her eyes. The daddy’s girl was running to her father again! "I have a team of lawyers that is just as great as your father’s. I will put them on it. Anyway, I will be around for two days after you all leave for Australia so that gives me time to deal with this."
Mei Mei smiled sheepishly. "Thank you mom." She made a finger heart.
Chi Lian responded to it by scoffing.

Jingzhe got behind her and put her hands on the shoulders, "I will give you a last minute massage before you leave." He squeezed with the same expertise as that of the royal masseuse. "I really don’t want to let you go." He said softly.
The words reached her ears and made her smile. "All work and no play makes Mei Mei a dumb girl."
"Couldn’t you have played from home." He leaned his head on her back. "How am I going to survive without you?"
