Chapter 773: I Can’t Believe I’m Still Inferior to a Street Urchin
At the Mei Family, a discordant family meeting was taking place.
To be precise, it was a heated argument.
"I’ve told you, the Chens are unreliable, but you didn’t listen and insisted on partnering with him. Now what? All our money has gone down the drain!" roared old Mr. Mei, who had invested the most.
He hadn’t made a single penny, but rather had lost everything. He was the most irate.
"What’s the point of saying this now? Initially, we collaborated well with Chen He but insisted on kicking him out. Now he is retaliating against us, what should we do?"
Mr. Mei’s second uncle’s brow furrowed so deeply that it looked as if it could trap a fly.
"Now we must quickly find elder auntie. Once she returns, she can press down on cousin Huang, and make him help us solve our dry ice rink problem with just a single sentence."
"Will elder auntie dare to return now? She has run off. Mei Rui’s dad still wants to find her for an explanation. Influenced by her misfortune, Mei Rui has been searching for death."
Aunt Fan, referred to as ’elder auntie’ in their discussion, had run away because she had tried to match-make Mei Rui with Fan Huang and even drugged Fan Huang.
Unexpectedly, the partners she found, Golden Head and Silver Head, were too lame. After being exposed by the couple, Suizi, they drugged Mei Rui and took advantage of her.
The tricky part was that Golden Head and Silver Head were relatives from aunt Fan’s stepmother’s side. Mei Rui was a distant relative from her mother’s side. They were all relatives but without blood ties, yet it was family business all the same. The reputation of the family was at stake, and both sides did not wish to involve the police, so they could only settle it privately.
