Zhang Chao also thought it strange that Yu Meizi would tell Zhang Zihao off over that idiot. He smiled coldly. “Zihao, it’s different now. Your mother’s heart is only thinking about the Ling family’s wealth, and she can’t be bothered with you and me anymore… Now, she visits her ex-husband in the hospital and stays in this grand hotel. If I hadn’t brought you here to look for her, she would probably have forgotten about us.”
Listening to Zhang Chao’s sarcastic words, Yu Meizi rolled her eyes at him and ignored him. Instead, she said to Ling Tianxin, “Tianxin, don’t be scared. They are your Uncle Zhang and your brother. They aren’t bad people. You must try to get along with them.”
“But, Mom… Tianxin doesn’t like them.” Ling Tianxin grabbed onto Yu Meizi tightly, as if afraid that Yu Meizi would be stolen away.
Yu Meizi said patiently, “Tianxin, they are both mother’s family and also your family. You must get along with them, or Mom won’t like you anymore.”
Once she heard this, Ling Tianxin became anxious and hurriedly nodded her head. “I’ll get along with them, Mom! Don’t dislike me!”
Yu Meizi smiled and caressed Ling Tianxin’s face. “That’s better, my good girl.”
After calming Tianxin down, Yu Meizi asked her to watch television by herself. Yu Meizi grabbed Zhang Chao and Zhang Zihao and told them her exciting news. “Guess what I saw when I went to the hospital today?”
Zhang Chao smiled coldly once again. “Other than that worthless trash, Ling Tao, what else is there?”
“Are you done?” Yu Meizi glared at Zhang Chao unhappily, then continued, “I saw Ling Corporation’s shareholders going to make trouble with Ling Tao’s family. Then, I heard some news.”
Yu Meizi paused for moment, her eyes shining. “Now, the Ling Corporation is starting to fight among themselves. The shareholders want to take over the power as well as Ling Tao’s shares. However, Ling Tao’s fortune and shares are only for his children, and one of them is in my hands.” Yu Meizi’s eyes shifted to Ling Tianxin, who was watching the television. Now, Ling Tianxin listened to her about everything. She could easily use this to her advantage.
When Zhang Chao heard this, he immediately became energized, then deflated again. “Yu Meizi, you must be so crazy about money that you’ve become muddled. Don’t forget, there’s still Ling Tianya! That lass isn’t stupid. Would she let you do what you want?”
Yu Meizi’s eyes glinted, and she didn’t respond to Zhang Chao’s question directly. She only said excitedly, “Just you watch! This time we are really going to make it big, and we won’t need to rely on other people and sleep under another’s roof!”
With Yu Meizi’s confidence, Zhang Chao also grew excited. “Alright, when the time comes, you can get me the position of CEO somewhere. I also want to have a taste of being in power!”
Yu Meizi shook her head. “No, we don’t want that! We only want money, loads of money! When the time comes, the three of us can go overseas and lead a carefree life.”
Once Zhang Zihao heard her talk about going overseas, he grew interested. “Mum, let me pick where we’ll go, let me pick!”
Yu Meizi nodded her head dotingly. “Alright, you pick.”
Zhang Chao’s eyes that were glinting stared at Ling Tianxin who was watching the television. “What will you do with the idiot girl?”
Yu Meizi looked at Ling Tianxin with no emotion in her eyes. “I’ll return her to the Ling family, of course. The Ling family’s daughter should be raised by the Ling family.”
In the hotel, Zhang Chao and Yu Meizi started dreaming of making it big.
Back at the hospital, Ling Tianya had just arrived. Wang Yazhi and Madame Yuan had come with her. Firstly, they wanted to visit Ling Tao, their in-law. Secondly, they were worried about letting Ling Tianya come by herself.
