Chapter 151 Master Ming invites you
"Ming Yi, how do you know I spent 500 million?" Meng Zhiling turned her head and asked curiously and vigilantly.
"Yes, how did you know that when you just came back?" Mingzhu also stood up and looked at Mingyi with a questioning look.
Ming Yi frowned and looked at the two of them speechlessly.
"Please, everyone in the house knows about this, okay? How dare you ask?" Ming Yi looked at Meng Zhiling with contempt.
However, in his eyes, 500 million is not a big deal, but for the old man, it would probably make him so angry that he would have a heart attack.
"Um, okay, you take good care of my mother, I'll be back soon!" Meng Zhiling waved her hand casually, turned and walked towards the study.
"Mingyi, will Zhiling be okay?" Mingzhu clenched her hands nervously, her eyes following Meng Zhiling's back, and asked worriedly.
"Don't worry, nothing will happen. The old man came to see me when I came here. It seems that he admires Zhiling very much and will not make things difficult for her." Ming Yi sat down on the lawn, stretched out his hand, and pulled Mingzhu to sit down as well.
Mingzhu cherishes the feeling of quiet time as she quietly looks at the stars in the sky.
"Knock knock knock..." There were strong and rhythmic knocks on the door in the study. Meng Zhiling put her hands behind her back in disdain, waiting for a response from inside.
When Ming Shunde heard the knock on the door, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, but he didn't even raise his eyelids. He was still looking at the book in his hand seriously, and didn't show any intention of asking someone to come in.
"Knock knock knock..." Meng Zhiling patiently knocked on the door again. She knew without thinking that Old Man Ming was deliberately embarrassing her.
The second time, there was still no response from inside. Meng Zhiling raised her eyebrows and said softly, "If you don't open the door, I'll leave. Is Mr. Ming really that petty? Does he enjoy playing tricks on people?"
"Come in!" After Meng Zhiling finished speaking, she counted down from three to two to one outside. Sure enough, Ming Shunde's old but powerful voice came from inside the room.
Meng Zhiling stopped, turned around and went to the study.
She poured herself a cup of tea and sat leisurely on the sofa, not asking him what he wanted to talk to her about.
"Do you know why I called you here?" Ming Shunde slowly closed the thick book in his hand and said slowly.
"How should I know? I'm not a worm in your stomach!" Meng Zhiling also randomly opened a page of the newspaper and answered very arrogantly.
I saw that there was actually a column in the newspaper that was specifically describing the grand occasion of Ming Shunde’s 70th birthday last night, including the return of his eldest daughter with her daughter, which was called a double happiness.
Ming Shunde's life is treated as a legend, and a simple character overview is given, with special emphasis on how welcome and excited he is about Mingzhu's return.
In short, the media is definitely controlled by him, and he has the final say on how to publish articles.
"Girl, it seems that you are not very satisfied with me!" Ming Shunde completely put down the book in his hand, raised his head and looked at Meng Zhiling.
"There's no such thing as satisfaction or dissatisfaction with you. After all, there's not much relationship between us, right?" Meng Zhiling was still flipping through the newspaper and didn't answer his question directly.
"Haha, girl, you are the first person who dares to talk to me like this, including my children and grandchildren!" Ming Shunde has been focusing on Meng Zhiling's expression and movements.
He had hoped to see some timidity and nervousness in her, but unfortunately, he couldn't figure out any of Meng Zhiling's expressions or emotions.
She was obviously still a child, at least in his eyes, she still looked like a child, but she had a calmness and composure that was not in line with her age, as if she had experienced a lot in the world.
"I always hear this from others, and you are not the first one to tell me." Meng Zhiling has been playing Tai Chi with him. He is unwilling to reveal his purpose, so Meng Zhiling is even less anxious.
"Haha, okay, I called you here today just to tell you that no matter whether you regard me as your grandfather or elder, or you really regard me as your enemy, the blood relationship between you and me exists, and I will always be your grandfather, a relative who can tolerate everything about you." Ming Shunde said to Meng Zhiling with kindness in his eyes and tone.
Meng Zhiling finally raised her head, looked directly at Ming Shunde, and smiled gently, "Mr. Ming, you think too highly of me. You're so kind to me, aren't you afraid that I might have ulterior motives?"
"It's better if you have some ulterior motive. If you don't, I will definitely worry about your intentions." Ming Shunde also responded calmly.
"Oh? Really? Then what if I want to take your life?" Meng Zhiling said seriously, not jokingly, looking at Ming Shunde with sharp eyes.
"Hahaha, such a straightforward answer, I like it! It has the style of my youth. However, I believe that your purpose is not just that simple. If it is really that simple, yesterday's birthday party would have been your best chance to make a move, but you didn't. It means that you must have other bigger purposes, such as destroying the Ming family, or taking the Ming family for yourself, because in your heart, you and your mother always feel that the Ming family belongs to your grandmother, and has nothing to do with Wang Yumei!" Ming Shunde said slowly, analyzing it clearly.
Meng Zhiling had to nod her head, and she almost believed that she was really as he analyzed. However, he let out one thing, that she came to the Ming family only to help Meng Zhiling's grandmother and parents get revenge, and she didn't mind making some extra income.
"Yes, you are right. If you knew that, why did you let us in? Aren't you afraid that one day I would achieve my goal and your once-prominent Ming family would no longer be able to return." Meng Zhiling raised her eyebrows. Since everyone understood, she would say it clearly to avoid embarrassment in the future.
"I simply wanted to make it up to you, but I didn't expect that despite your young age, you have such a big appetite." Ming Shunde narrowed his eyes slightly, and it was hard to tell whether he was angry or appreciative. In short, when he spoke, he always had that icy face, that slow and confident feeling that everything was under control.
Meng Zhiling's lips curled up. Sure enough, they finally talked about this issue.
"I have a big appetite, and I have a good appetite. I can eat and digest well."
"Tell me, after all, that's my money, 500 million. How did you spend it all at once?" Ming Shunde looked at Meng Zhiling curiously. Although he knew Meng Zhiling's current identities, he couldn't believe that she actually used his gold card to spend 500 million at one time.
"I bought a shopping mall. I learned a fable when I was a child. Since then, I have understood that it is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish. So you are doing a good deed, you know? Just like you said, you treat me as your relative. As the saying goes, wealth cannot last for more than three generations. Yes, your family business is huge now, but what if the Ming family falls into decline when I take over? I have to make some plans for my future." Meng Zhiling spoke the truth and said it as if it were a matter of course.
He took a sip of tea, frowned, and wondered why such an old man was still drinking tea so late at night. It was really harmful to his health.
"What mall?"
"I will be the boss of Qiao Surong's Xinguang Shopping Mall from now on. You are welcome to shop there often. Of course, I can give you discounts." Meng Zhiling said casually, putting down the teacup, looking serious.
"Aren't you in a relationship with Qiao Surong?" This time, Ming Shunde's expression finally changed a little. He realized that he seemed to be too smart for his own good, but he didn't know that he had fallen into a trap set by others, and ended up losing more than he gained.
"They are lovers. In today's society, even brothers have to settle accounts clearly, let alone lovers. Besides, it's not safe even if they are married and have children. So do you think that a shrewd businessman like Qiao Qiao Su Rong will give his property to me so easily? Don't you think so?" Meng Zhiling hinted at something, and deliberately emphasized the fact that it was not safe even if they were married and had children, while silently observing Ming Shunde's expression.
I hoped to see a hint of guilt and regret on his face, but there was none. He didn't even think about it, so how could he feel guilty and remorseful?
"So, he is really your fiancé?" Ming Shunde's expression gradually recovered, and he was no longer as moved as before.
"So what?" Meng Zhiling raised her eyebrows, as if she had smelled Ming Shunde's greed, as if she had figured out that he seemed to be particularly concerned about the relationship between her and Qiao Surong.
He went through so much trouble and finally got the topic to Qiao Surong. How could she not give him face?
She just didn't believe that he wouldn't send someone to follow her and her mother when they went shopping with his card today. She just didn't believe that he didn't know where she and her mother spent the money today. However, Meng Zhiling wanted to play along with him, so she didn't deliberately "counter-reconnaissance".
"Not very good, because the Qiao Group and the Ming Group have always been sworn enemies. Now that you two are getting married, it means that in the future our Chinese business circle will also be able to have 'world peace'!" Ming Shunde said lightly, and his purpose was so noble.
Meng Zhiling didn't have the heart to interrupt or expose it.
"Haha, then Mr. Ming must wait until that day. It is also a day that everyone will welcome." Meng Zhiling smiled meaningfully.
After staring at Ming Shunde for a few seconds, both of them were equally capable of "conquering the heart". In short, no matter what tricks were in one's mind, the other party could see through them without saying anything!
When Meng Zhiling returned to the lawn, Ming Yi was still silently waiting by Mingzhu's side, looking at their backs, shrouded in the bright moonlight, giving people a feeling of peace and tranquility.
And that subtle feeling always made Meng Zhiling seem to see a little clue, but she had no way to grasp what such a subtle emotion was.
To the extent that she now feels that Ming Yi's kindness to Ming Zhu is better than that of a real sibling, and has even surpassed the boundaries of family.
