Feng Wei continued to stubbornly shake her head, “No, I won’t sign, Ah Ze, trust me, as soon as I have money, 1 will pay you back immediately! You also know, my husband’s business is thriving, and the company has been doing well recently. We won’t be short of five million!”
Huang Ze looked surprised, glanced at Mei Cheng, and then continued,
“Doesn’t Madam know that your company has been…”
Before he could finish his sentence, Mei Cheng suddenly interrupted, “Alright! Wife, just sign it first. Try your best to pay back this money, and if you can’t, I will help you.”
Feng Wei had a gut feeling that something was off, but she was accustomed to obeying her husband’s words. Since he said so, she subconsciously reached for a pen to sign, but she hesitated, “Honey, you wouldn’t really abandon me, right? We’ve been married for so many years, my debt is your debt. You wouldn’t forsake me for money, right?”
“Of course not.” Mei Cheng changed his tone and gently helped her sit on the sofa.
Huang Ze also entered and placed a pre-prepared IOU on the coffee table, saying, “Sign it, Madam Mei.”
Feng Wei was trembling nervously, but now that her husband was holding her gently again, she momentarily lost her mind. She forgot everything and directly signed her name at the designated place.
Mei Cheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief, clutching the thumb ring in his hand, his eyes shining.
Huang Ze didn’t miss the fleeting expression on his face. A disdainful smile played at the corner of his mouth as he neatly folded the IOU and put it in his pocket, saying, “We’ll see you on the repayment date, and we won’t disturb you.”
After the men left, Feng Wei still felt a sense of desolation in her heart.
She anxiously hugged ATei Cheng’s arm again, “Honey, by signing this, I owe someone five million directly. You really can’t abandon me. If I fall into the hands of those people, I’m finished!”
“Don’t worry, my wife.” Mei Cheng put the thumb ring in his pocket and then pulled her into his arms with a sudden force, “Baby, you spent so much money for me, to be honest, I’m really touched. Let me take care of you now.”
After that, he tore Feng Wei’s silk nightgown and kissed her passionately on the sofa.
The room was filled with romance.
Afterward, Feng Wei leaned shyly against the man’s chest, thinking about the sweet future of Mei Cheng and her.
But what she didn’t know was that from the moment she signed the IOU, Mei Cheng had decided to become a villain.
Early the next morning, Feng Wei woke up to find Mei Cheng nowhere to be seen.
She didn’t think much about it, just got up from bed with sore muscles and went to freshen up.
Last night, Mei Cheng had been having her incessantly, and though she was physically exhausted, she felt immensely happy psychologically.
Wasn’t her husband’s obsession with her enough to show that she was deeply loved?
Thinking this, Feng Wei smiled lightly as she put on her favorite dress, preparing to put on delicate makeup and make a pot of nourishing chicken soup in the kitchen.
However, as soon as she finished tidying up and went downstairs to find the butler, she found that there was no one at home at this time.
Usually, there were at least five servants responsible for cleaning the house, but today, unexpectedly, no one came.
Could it be that she hadn’t expressed her intentions clearly yesterday, and they thought today was still a holiday?
Thinking so, Feng Wei called the butler.
When the call connected, she immediately scolded, “Old Xiao, what’s going on today? It’s so late, why hasn’t anyone come to clean? The dishes from yesterday are still on the table, and I could smell something odd! Get everyone to come to work right away, or you can forget about this month’s salary!”
The butler, Xiao, was stunned for a moment before saying, “Madam, don’t you know? Mr. ATei has already told us not to come anymore. He has terminated our employment. As for the salary…”
“What did you say?” Feng Wei said incredulously, “My husband told you not to come anymore? Why?”
“Madam, don’t you know what happened to the Mei family?” Butler Xiao said with some pity, “I heard that Mr. Mei’s company has been seized by the court, and now the bank is chasing him to repay the debt. The company and the family’s assets will soon be auctioned off. Madam, I’ve been with your family for so many years, and I’ve put in much effort. Can you settle my salary for this month first?”
This sentence was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue, making Feng Wei feel dizzy, and it took her a long time to come back to her senses.
She held the phone, feeling cold all over. “Impossible, my husband is very wealthy, and the company is expanding. How could it go bankrupt? I don’t believe it! I refuse to believe it! This must be an excuse you made up to resign!”
The butler’s tone was helpless, “Madam, whether what I said is true or not, you can ask Mir. Mei. I’ve called him many times just now, but no one answered..”
