Manager Qu could not hide his excitement. “It’s amazing!”

Meng Ying smiled. “Manager Qu, so do you want this stone?”

“Yes, yes, of course.” He hadn’t seen such a good stone for a long time.

“Then name your price.”

Manager Qu thought about it and gave a serious estimate. “It’s a piece of extremely fine imperial jade with excellent color and texture. If this were to be put on the market, it would be worth at least 500 million.”

Meng Ying raised her eyebrows. “I’ll sell it to you for 400 million.”

“Really?” Manager Qu was shocked.

“Yes.”

Manager Qu was elated. “Thank you very much.”

Meng Ying smiled and said, “I can’t possibly earn too much money from my own family.”

“Haha! Those who deserve to earn should earn. If not for the fact that this is your family’s business, I’m afraid that you won’t even let me look at the stone. Honestly speaking, this is something that many people can’t buy even with money.” Manager Qu was truly delighted.

“That’s me keeping the goodies within the family. I made money and you got a good piece. Everyone is happy.”

“You’re right. Thank you so much.” The manager was genuinely happy.

It would probably be a huge step forward for the Meng Enterprise with such a good treasure.

Meng Ying added, “If anyone asks, you can’t say that I sold it to you.”

“I understand.”

The two of them reached an agreement. Manager Qu got someone to bring the stone back and transferred the money to her bank account. The transaction was quick and smooth.

Before leaving, Manager Qu thanked her repeatedly.

“You’re the only one who can earn your own family’s money without any qualms.” Mu Yuansheng could not help but comment when he saw her happily checking her bank account and counting the zeros repeatedly.

‘Why is she acting like she had never seen money before?’

Meng Ying patted her phone as if it was her baby. “I want to be rich so that I can support you. As long as I can earn money, who cares whose money it is?”

Mu Yuansheng almost lost his grip on the steering wheel.

Ultimately, she had done it for him.

Should he be happy?

…

Shan Wu asked for Meng Ying immediately after he woke up.

Meng Ying was peeling an orange on the chair. She glanced at him and passed one to him.

“Thank you.” Shan Wu’s eyes turned red as he looked at the orange.

Meng Ying asked, “What’s wrong?”

Shan Wu shook his head. “I miss my sister. She loves to eat oranges.”

Meng Ying wiped her hands with a tissue. “Although you didn’t kill Cheng Ping, he is still unconscious now. Take it as a lesson for him. It’s never too late for a gentleman to take revenge. However, given your situation in all aspects, you can’t afford to fight with the Cheng family.”

Shan Wu felt uneasy. He knew what Meng Ying had said was the truth.

If he had some ability, he would not have only caused problems by acting as a ghost in the Leaping Dragon Bay.

All these years, the only thing he had accomplished was to scare everyone away from Leaping Dragon Bay. It did not cause any substantial harm to the Cheng family at all.

This time, if not for Meng Ying, he wouldn’t have the chance to beat Cheng Ping up too.

He got off the bed and knelt in front of Meng Ying. “Miss Meng, I’m begging you. Please help me. Cheng Ping had assaulted my sister and caused her death, and my parents have left this world with resentment and unwillingness as well. I have to take revenge.”

“It’s illegal to kill someone. How are you going to take revenge?”

“I… Even if I have to pay with my life, I have to let my family die in peace.” Shan Wu’s eyes were red, and tears rolled down his cheeks.

Meng Ying rarely saw men cry. In the Honesty World, everyone would rather die than submit and shed blood than cry. Even if one was weak, they would also fight to the bitter end.

The people there were emotionless.

They lived only for themselves.

Shan Wu was young, about the same age as her. He was just another weak person who was merely depending on his hatred to avenge his family.

Meng Ying was impressed.

She said, “Only an idiot would strike a stone with an egg. You’ve been able to endure for so many years, why are you in a hurry to make him pay with his life now? Use your brain and think about how to kill people without leaving a trace. How good would it be to live? With beautiful scenery, delicious food, and beautiful women, why would you use your life to exchange for the lives of scum?”

“Get up.” Meng Ying waved her hand.

Shan Wu understood what she meant. However, his lowly status would not allow him to get close to Cheng Ping.

If he could get close to Cheng Ping, he would have already gone all out.

“Since I’ve said that I will help you, I will definitely help you until the end. As long as you listen to me, I will let you get what you want.”

Meng Ying was calm. She didn’t look like a 23-year-old at all.

Shan Wu didn’t know if he was desperate or if he was attracted by her confidence. He nodded without hesitation. “I’ll listen to you.”

…

After leaving Shan Wu’s ward, Meng Ying prepared to leave.

She stopped at the elevator.

If she remembered correctly, Lu Jingyang should be in this hospital too.

She asked the nurse for Lu Jingyang’s ward number and went over to his ward.

He was already conscious, but he was in a cast due to a fractured leg.

It seemed like it was a bad fall seeing how he could not be discharged yet.

Lu Jingyang’s expression changed when he saw Meng Ying.

He wanted to press the call bell on the bed, but Meng Ying was faster and blocked it before he could reach it.

“Brother Jingyang, what’s wrong with you? Why do you look so pale?” Meng Ying smiled brightly like a flower.

Lu Jingyang stared at her warily. “Don’t come so close to me!”

“Why?” Meng Ying was confused. “Are you unhappy that I came to see you?”

“Meng Ying!” Lu Jingyang suddenly shouted. “Stop pretending. How, how could you…”

Lu Jingyang didn’t know if he was angry or shocked, but his fingers were trembling as he pointed at her.

This woman actually threw him out of the building with ease that day.

She had immense strength!

How audacious!

She still dared to come!

“What’s wrong with me?” Meng Ying walked away. Seeing that he was about to ring the call bell, she reminded him, “Guess, will the nurse arrive before I throw you down?” She raised her eyebrows and looked out of the window.

Lu Jingyang quickly retracted his finger that was touching the bell.

He gritted his teeth. “What exactly do you want from me?”

“I don’t want anything. I just came to visit you.” Meng Ying’s smile still looked as naive as before when she still had the ugly makeup on her face. However, she was no longer as silly as before. Instead, she seemed to have become full of life.

If he had not fallen for her tricks before, he would have been deceived by her innocent look.

Lu Jingyang thought to himself, ‘I’m not buying it.’

‘I can’t panic. I have to stay calm.’

He was a man after all. How could he be frightened by this little girl who had been chasing after him for years?

“Let’s not beat around the bush. You said before that you won’t pester me anymore, and I don’t want to see you again. No matter what, stay away from me.”

“Ha…”

Meng Ying saw that his hands were trembling under the blanket and couldn’t help but ask, “Why are you shaking? Relax, I won’t eat you up. Brother Jing Yang…” She moved closer to him.

“Stop!” Lu Jingyang reached out to stop her.

He swallowed nervously. “What exactly do you want? What must I do for you to let me go?”
