"Keep dreaming!" Wang Quanxia spat out, "You think I haven’t thought of that, but we can’t even leave the country. We’ve had our visas come through twice, and we took this little bastard around several times, but as soon as people hear it’s about recognizing relatives, we don’t even get to see a face before we’re chased away!"
Shi Xuebai sighed lightly, "These days, there are too many imposters. Everyone wants to try their luck, especially to get into such a family. Who wouldn’t want to?"
Shi Yunchang finally understood and felt a surge of anger, "But are we just going to let it go ? There’s always a chance to return, isn’t there? After all, we are Shi Mei’s life savers. If it weren’t for my aunt and uncle, she would have died long ago, and us, we’re also major contributors!"
Wang Quanxia sneered, "Just give up on that thought. Instead, you should think about how to get this little bastard to spit out her shares. Even if she can’t spit out the shares, she needs to pay us back for raising her. She makes billions in net profit dividends each month. She should at least give us 30 to 50 billion to repay us for our kindness in raising her, right?"
When Shi Xuebai and Shi Yunchang heard this number, they were extremely tempted.
Wang Quanxia continued to call Shi Mei.
Shi Mei was munching on chips, seriously eating and engrossedly looking at a table full of documents.
Ye Tiao’s chair had been taken, so she had to sit aside pitifully looking at the reports.
Hearing Shi Mei’s phone ring several times, Ye Tiao finally couldn’t hold back and said, "Are you going to answer it or not?"
Shi Mei poured the last chip into her mouth, cheek bulging with chip crumbs. Read full story at NoveI★Fire.net
After taking a satisfying sip of soda, she squinted contentedly and then picked up the phone.
Seeing the call finally connected, Wang Quanxia happily said, "Shi Mei, you finally answered the call. Just now..."
"Enough," Shi Mei cut her off impatiently, "Stop pretentiousness. Everybody knows everybody here. How much do you owe?"
Wang Quanxia, who had just prepared her speech, was suddenly at a loss for words.
Shi Yunchang said, "Don’t be too much. Without my parents, do you think you’d be where you are today?"
"Heh," Shi Mei let out a soft chuckle.
Shi Xuebai, frightened, quickly tugged at his son and said apologetically, "Shi Mei, why such a temper. It’s not a huge amount we owe, just 50 or 60 million."
"50 or 60 million, just that?" Shi Mei clicked her tongue, "Well, it seems like such a small amount of money doesn’t matter much to you. You handle it yourself."
"Hey! Hey! Hey!" Shi Xuebai quickly called out to her, "Shi Mei, this money might be nothing to you, but it’s a matter of life and death for us! Help us out here. After all these years as father and daughter, even if there’s no credit, there’s hard work. Shi Mei, you can’t just watch us get pushed to death by these people, can you?"
Shi Mei sighed lightly, "I really want to help you guys, but I don’t have much money right now. I’ve only got 10 million on me."
Shi Yunchang shouted in anger, "How can you only have 10 million? Who are you trying to fool!"
Shi Xuebai, again frightened, pulled at his son and said, "How can you talk to your sister like that? She’s joking with you. Can’t you tell?" Then he smiled broadly, "Right, Shi Mei?"
Shi Mei could almost imagine the expression on Shi Xuebai’s face and laughed, "I really only have 10 million, but I can help you with a deal. The commission just happens to be 50 million."
