Han Mi was reluctant to part.
As soon as Meng Chuyue left, Han Zheng emerged from the study at the back and approached Han Mi in the living room, who was somewhat absent-minded.
"Meng Chuyue brought some fruit, didn’t she? Bring it here, let me take a look."
"Uh, sure. Um, Dad, what do you think of Meng Chuyue? I really like her."
Han Zheng spoke gently, "Erhu’s taste in people is generally good; remember to let Erhu screen them when you start dating."
Erhu to screen? That thought was disheartening.
She never wanted to date in the first place.
The next day was the day Meng Chuyue and He Rongchang agreed to sever ties with the Meng family.
They didn’t choose the day before because there was a pre-surgery consultation for He Chen, which required He Rongchang to stay at the hospital.
At nine in the morning, He Rongchang and Meng Chuyue met at the entrance of Phoenix District.
After asking about He Chen’s consultation results and hearing that the surgery had a 90% success rate, just as in her previous life, she offered her well-wishes and together they went to the Meng family’s home.
Aside from Meng Yinhua, the rest of the Meng family were still sprawled out carelessly all over the place.
But upon seeing Meng Chuyue, they immediately sat up straight.
Meng Chuyue wasted no words with them, getting right to the point, "I’d like to introduce you to this person, my half-brother from the same father. I went with him to a specialized agency yesterday to verify the will, and it’s authentic. So I am prepared to return the storefront to him. While there yesterday, I also consulted with a lawyer, who told me that as long as I am willing, none of you can touch the remaining eighty thousand or this house."
"Originally, I wanted to sell the house quietly and leave this place, but my brother suggested that despite your mistreatment of me, you are still my mother’s closest kin. He thinks that some things should be offered to you rather than strangers. For instance, this house is worth three hundred thousand, but due to my mother’s incident here, others might consider it unlucky and it would only sell for half. But for you, as my mother’s relatives, there are no such superstitions, so buying this house at half price is a good deal."
Seeing that everyone except for Meng Yinhua had a look as if they had eaten shit, Meng Chuyue continued, "So do you want to buy it or not? If you don’t, I’ll sell it to someone else. And don’t say I didn’t give you a chance. Don’t think about causing me trouble using underhanded tactics. I have a brother now, and if anything happens to me, he will certainly not let you off. Also, I have written a will; if something happens to me, all my assets will be d to charity."
Meng Jingfen looked at Meng Chuyue incredulously, "Meng Chuyue, has your brain been kicked by a donkey? You’d rather leave the money to strangers than to your own family?"
Meng Yinhua could no longer contain himself, "It’s your brains that have been kicked by a donkey. Chuyue is preventing you from plotting against her."
Her mind had indeed been overwhelmed recently, thoroughly confused by Meng Chuyue.
Meng Chuyue ignored Meng Jingfen, smiling at Meng Yinhua, "Uncle, would you like to buy it?"
In her previous life, Meng Yinhua had bought the house in full, but only paid one hundred thousand in cash, agreeing to pay ten thousand every year after that. However, he managed to pay off the debt in just five years.
Meng Yinhua did want to buy it; he didn’t find the house unlucky at all, and Meng Chuyue’s offer was very tempting, but he didn’t dare to speak up because he knew his parents and Meng Jinhua would never allow it.
Yin Fenglian was inclined to agree, but after Meng Yinhua’s harsh reprimand the day before, she dared not speak up.
In the end, the first to speak was Meng Jinhua, "I want to buy it, but I don’t have enough money. Can I owe it for now? Don’t worry, I’ll write an IOU."
