It would have been fine if she hadn’t asked this question, but once she did, Old Master Meng’s anger would flare up.
“Do you still remember your surname? Don’t you know that something so serious has happened to our family?” Old Master Meng said angrily.
Meng Xiao thought that he was talking about the robot, so she said, “Grandpa, I don’t know anything about business. It’s useless even if you scold me.”
Old Master Meng glared at her and then calmed down. “That’s not what I wanted to talk about, but since you mentioned it, I have to tell you. From today onwards, you’ll go to the company and learn how to manage the company.” “All?” Meng Xiao was dumbfounded. She had never managed a company before. If she was asked to manage a company now, wouldn’t she be pushed to the edge of the cliff? Besides, wasn’t her eldest sister in charge of the family’s company? Where’s Meng Si now?
“Grandpa, if I’m going to manage the company, what’s Big Sister going to do?” Meng Xiao asked.
“Meng Si,” Old Mr. Meng exhaled and said, “From today onwards, Meng Si will no longer take up any position in the company. Moreover, without my permission, you are not allowed to step out of the attic?”
Meng Xiao was shocked. What had happened during her absence? She did know that her family’s business was in trouble, but the Meng family was a big family and would not collapse just like that. But why did Grandfather dismiss Meng Si now? Did she make a big mistake in her business?
“Oh, 1 know.” Meng Xiao was still very happy about Meng Si’s misfortune, but he was still curious about what Meng Si had done.
After coming out of the study, Meng Xiao could not be bothered to eat. She stopped the butler and asked, “Where’s my Big Sister?”
The butler brought her to the small attic in the last row without a word. He pointed to one of the rooms and said, “Eldest Miss is reflecting on her mistakes at the attic. If Second AAiss has nothing important to do, don’t come here.”
Meng Xiao wanted to see Meng Si’s current situation. She asked, “Can 1 go and see Big Sister?”
The butler was in a difficult position because Old Master Meng had instructed that other than the servants who brought Meng Si food, no one else was allowed to enter the small attic.
“Let her go in and see her good sister.” Old Master Meng had appeared in front of the attic. “Open the door now!”
The butler took the key and opened the door of the small attic. Because it was summer, the windows of the small attic were not all open, so it was still very hot inside.
Meng Xiao had only been inside for a few minutes, but she was already sweating from the heat.” Is there no air conditioning here?”
“Very few people come here,” the butler replied. “There’s no need to turn on the air-conditioning. Only the room that Miss is in now has air-conditioning.”
Meng Xiao could not stand this environment. Even when she was abroad, she had never mistreated herself. It was so hot here, so she wanted to leave quickly after saying a few words to Meng Si.
The sound of Meng Si knocking on the door came from upstairs. He could vaguely hear what she was saying. “Grandfather, I really know my mistake. Don’t lock me up here. Let me out!”
Meng Xiao heard her voice and suddenly felt a little scared. “I think it’s better if I don’t go in.”
As soon as she spoke, Meng Si, who was inside, heard her voice. “Is that Xiaoxiao? Quickly plead with Grandpa and ask him to let me out!”
“Big sister, what did you do wrong?” Meng Xiao asked.
“What mistake did she make? You can open the door and ask her yourself.” Old Master Meng said.
The housekeeper opened the door and Meng Si rushed out. She grabbed Meng Xiao’s shoulders tightly. “Let me out please. I really don’t want to stay here anymore!”
Meng Xiao saw the red marks on her neck and arms. “Sister,” she asked in surprise, “Were you injured by someone else?”
A trace of embarra.s.sment flashed across Meng Si’s face. She stammered, “It was an accident. Don’t take it to heart.”
“Are you afraid that others will find out about your stupid actions? Stay here and reflect on yourself,” Old Master Meng said angrily. “You’re not allowed to step out of this door without my permission!”
“Grandpa, are you really going to give up on me?” Meng Si’s face was filled with tears of regret. “I’m doing this for the Meng family!”
“The Meng family doesn’t need stupid people!” Old Master Meng’s voice was as loud as a bell..
