Chapter 1254: Mei Feng’s Ending (19)
The rims of Shen Zihao’s eyes had reddened and, with his tightly clenched fists, he had a murderous expression on his face. But he gradually calmed down upon hearing Shen Liangchuan’s words.
His vision blurred as a sense of injustice overwhelmed him. “What do we do then? Big Brother, what do we do now? Press charges against her! Let her accompany Dad in his grave.”
Shen Liangchuan lowered his gaze and sighed, “How are you going to press charges against her for such a thing? Say that she refused to save him? Besides, do you have proof? Do you think the chauffeur’s words alone will be enough?”
Shen Zihao had no answer.
Indeed, he had no proof.
Disregarding the fact that he had no proof, even if he had, so what?
The law would not punish Mei Feng too heavily.
He would not accept this. Looking at Shen Liangchuan, he demanded, “So are we just going to let the matter rest and not pursue it more?!”
“Of course that’s out of the question.”
Shen Liangchuan lowered his gaze and said calmly, “You have to remember, we can’t operate with a one-track mind. If one way doesn’t work, then we’ll find other ways.”
Shen Zihao looked at his brother as a stern look flashed across the latter’s eyes. Shen Liangchuan said with an intimidating and formidable tone, “I will not let her off.”
Shen Zihao asked him, “So what are you going to do?”
“She will get none of what she wants.”
–
Shen Xiu was dead, and his a.s.sets were now an issue.
Although the Senior Master was still alive, according to the law, Mei Feng was the first in line to inherit his a.s.sets.
Besides, Shen Xiu had been estranged from his two sons. Hence his a.s.sets naturally had nothing to do with Shen Liangchuan and Shen Zihao.
Mei Feng alone had inherited everything that belonged to Shen Xiu.
The Senior Master was not willing to fight over it.
After all, to the Old Master, Shen Xiu’s a.s.sets amounted to peanuts.
Mei Feng surveyed the Shen villa and made a mental calculation of the estate that now belonged to her. She suddenly burst out laughing.
All of a sudden, her heart felt so light that she could fly.
She had felt moody the day Shen Xiu had died. She had even been sad. But now, she realized that she had already gotten what she had always wanted.
When she was younger, hadn’t she chosen to become Shen Xiu’s mistress for the sake of money?
Now she had money.
She had everything.
Mei Feng was so excited she wanted to scream out loud.
She made an effort to ignore that void and loneliness somewhere deep in her heart, and started to laugh with no inhibition, alone in the villa.
As she was laughing, someone ran up to her in a panic. “Madam, Madam, our company is in trouble!”
Mei Feng stopped short and looked at the person, asking, “What’s the matter?”
Shen Xiu was wealthy, but he had used all his cash to start up a small company. Under the umbrella of the Shen family enterprise, the small company had done extremely well and, in recent times, had even gotten itself into the property market.
It could be said that out of all the a.s.sets that Mei Feng had inherited, two-thirds had been invested in this small company.
So the moment she heard news of trouble in this small company, she became anxious, of course.
The worker said, “We are having issues with our company’s funds. We need a few hundred millions to reach the end of the month.”
This news sent Mei Feng into a daze. She asked, “Why so much money?”
“Madam, property itself is a booming business. Of course the capital investment is high! We need hundreds of millions just to successfully bid for a piece of land. And after that, you still need more money for construction and everything. Now that the funding has been cut, what do we do?”
After all, Mei Feng had worked in the company in the past, hence she knew a little about property. They usually took a loan from a bank. So she said right away, “Shouldn’t we look for a bank?”
