Chapter 568 The Meaning of Money
"Then why do you always say that?" he asked.
That's because I think too much during the day, and alcohol relaxes me.
But instead of saying that, I said, "Because I can't think of anything else."
Obviously he could see that what I said was just perfunctory, smiled, and stopped talking about this topic.
I had something to do in the morning, so I went back after breakfast.This busy work came in the evening, when it was over, I remembered that Meng Jiancong hadn't called me all day.I have to admit that after what happened yesterday, my feelings for Meng Jiancong have changed a bit. I feel that we are closer and he makes me safer.I couldn't help but compare him with Fanyin and even Pu Lan in my heart, and I had to admit that the former two had never respected me, which made me feel that I should have made the right choice this time.I used the best ten years of my life to prove that I loved a man, and the price was so high that I didn't have any courage to enter any marriage based on love.I think this is what Meng Jiancong was trying to tell me last night, that the woman who took one of his legs made him leave a marriage chosen by the family and let him re-enter another marriage.
On the way home, I called Meng Jiancong. He didn't turn on his cell phone, but he left a message saying that he was going to visit his grandfather today.His grandfather lived in Sweden, and it looked like he was on the plane.His plane has internet but when I emailed him he didn't reply.
That night, Yinyin had a nightmare in the middle of the night. When I went to see her, the maid had already hugged her, but when I wanted to take over, she resisted and pushed her away.So I sat dryly by the side and watched the maid coaxing her like my own mother, and I couldn't help but miss her again.But the more I think about her, the more I feel indebted to Yinyin, the more I realize how cruel I was before. Among the three, Yinyin is the youngest, she is the one who needs her mother the most, and she is the most pitiful one, but I choose to be with her. Those two left, abandoning herself here.
Now Nian Nian chooses to leave me, and at this moment I look at Nian Nian and feel that I deserve what I did.
Meng Jiancong disappeared for two days this time, and only called me back on the third day, saying that his grandfather was ill and was being rescued before, but now the old man's condition is still stable.
I quickly told my father about it, and he really wanted me to go right away.
So I set off for Sweden right away, and the next morning I went to the hospital without taking a break.Meng Jiancong didn't know I was coming, so I didn't see him in the ward when I arrived.
The elderly are in the ICU, and they are not allowed to come in and out at will. I am not a relative, so I have no right to go in and visit by myself.Meng Jiancong's father was also there and told me that Meng Jiancong was in the hospital, but they didn't know where he was.
I found Meng Jiancong in a corner of the hospital garden. He was sitting alone on a bench, and there were a few children playing nearby, but they seemed to be the background and had nothing to do with him.
I walked over and sat next to him. He turned his head and said, "You're here."
I didn't say that my father asked me to come, but said: "Why didn't you tell me that your grandpa is so sick?"
He sighed, looking even more lonely.
I asked, "When will he be transferred to the general ward?"
"Not in the near future." He paused and said, "He has stomach cancer."
I couldn't help but startled: "Didn't you know before?"
He shook his head: "The doctor asked me to think about preparing for the funeral."
Before I could speak, he continued, "I don't know."
I asked, "Why don't you know?" From the tone of my voice, the disease was out of control, but the course of cancer would not be so short.
"Every time he came, he was in good spirits and told me that he was in good health." He said desolately: "My father doesn't know either."
I thought it might not be appropriate to ask this, but I couldn't help it: "Do you have a good relationship with him?"
"I grew up around him, he taught me to fish, he taught me to play chess, he taught me to row boats, he even taught me to race cars." He whispered: "When I had an accident, he was in the hospital all day. "
I felt that he was about to cry, so I couldn't help reaching out and touching his face.
Frankly speaking, I don't understand this kind of emotion. Although my father is a terminally ill patient, I didn't feel such pain when I knew his illness.This may be because I am not as emotional as I imagined, on the contrary, I am indifferent, or it may be because I have never been loved, so I lack the ability to love in my bones.
He didn't say a word, but took my hand when it was down.
I was about to speak when I felt heat on my fingers, and his tears kept dripping onto my fingers.
I didn't speak, and I didn't make a sound of comfort.I think all he needs is a good cry, that's all.
When Meng Jiancong and I went back together, there were still only relatives of Meng Jiancong's family outside the ward. It seemed that no one else had time to come.Meng Jiancong's father seemed very dissatisfied with his sudden escape, at first he glared at him, and seeing his red eyes, his attitude became kinder.
Meng Jiancong's mother came and said, "Where did you go? Grandpa just woke up and said he wanted to see you."
Meng Jiancong hurriedly said, "I'll go in right away."
"Wait, he's asleep again." She looked around, then winked at Meng Jiancong's hand, and said, "Come with me."
They left, and I couldn't look in that direction.But Meng Jiancong came back soon, took my hand and said, "Let's go."
I don't know why, but I was still dragged downstairs by him.Before he had time to ask anything, Mother Meng caught up with him, grabbed his arm, and said, "Why are you going?" Her tone was a little annoyed.
Only then did I see that Meng Jiancong's face had darkened, and he said to Meng's mother, "I won't go in."
"If you don't want money, others will want it. You are about to get married, but you still have nothing!" Meng's mother said, "I am thinking of you."
Meng Jiancong showed an impatient face and said, "I won't go in."
"You have to go in." She said, "Your legs are like this, and you can't do any important work. Your father said he would not give you money. Would you like to take Miss Su to live in your small house?" inside?"
Meng Jiancong reacted violently as if someone stepped on his tail: "That's my business. Since Grandpa is not awake, I can't decide who to give the money to!"
"He said he would give it to you before anything happened."
"What about the will?" He was even angrier: "Besides, he hasn't died yet."
Obviously both he and Mother Meng were already angry, otherwise how could they discuss this matter in front of me regardless of their image.
I can't say anything, and I can't leave immediately, so I just bite the bullet and listen.But at any rate, Mother Meng is still a little rational. She glanced at me with an embarrassed expression, but she probably gave up, and said to me generously: "Miss Su, please persuade him. I asked the lawyer. Our grandfather and the lawyer We talked and wanted to leave the money to Jian Cong, but he hasn't had time to make a will yet."
Meng Jiancong frowned and said, "Mom, please don't tell her these things."
"She understands better than you." Mother Meng looked at me again and said, "Jian Cong has no property in his name, and his health is not good. His father doesn't want to leave him money. Grandpa's assets are large enough for him to make some investments." Maintain a good life. This matter is indeed illegal, but before everyone else arrives, we easily make it legal. This is good for Jian Cong and you."
I understand, his grandfather didn't wake up just now, they just bribed the lawyer and the people in the ward to make a false will.
I do believe that it might work, but it's too much.
Maybe it was my hesitation that made Mother Meng see the clues, and she added in a timely manner: "Grandpa's money, real estate and other investments add up to more than one billion US dollars."
I have to admit, my heart skipped a beat, and I began to shake violently.
Meng Jiancong couldn't take it anymore, he pulled my arm hard, and said with a dark face, "Let's go."
I had no choice but to keep up with him. Before leaving, Mother Meng continued to wink at me, probably seeing my wavering.
The two of us got into the car, and Meng Jiancong asked directly to go back to the residence.
I didn't dare to speak all the way, but I kept thinking about it in my heart.In fact, I didn't think that he had no money in his name. I didn't mind raising him. Anyway, I took care of my children, and my financial advantage was also conducive to the stability of the marriage.It's just more than one billion dollars, so it's a good thing to get it.
When I arrived at the residence, Meng Jiancong still didn't speak. I sat on the sofa with a cautious posture and watched him pour me a glass of water, then walked back and put it in front of me, sitting a little far away from me.His emotions had stabilized a lot, and he said, "Sorry, please forget what my mother said."
I licked my lips and watched him say nothing.
He immediately became alert: "What's wrong?"
"I'm just asking." I said cautiously, "Is it true that your father won't give you money?"
"No." Obviously this question is not sensitive, he answered calmly.
I asked, "Why not? You don't seem to understand business."
"It's because of what happened in the past." He said, "I had a falling out with him before, and I agreed at that time that I would never do business with him. Later, he was dissatisfied with the business I did and felt ashamed of him."
I didn't speak, but he looked at me again and said, "I will be responsible for my life, and we will not interfere with each other's property, don't worry."
"I'm not worried about that." I said, "I just feel..."
I stopped.
He looked me in the eyes and asked, "What do you think?"
"I think..." I whispered, "I dare not say."
He immediately said, "Then don't talk about it."
I felt as if someone had covered my mouth, which was extremely embarrassing.
After being silent for about 15 seconds, he spoke again, as if discouraged: "Go ahead."
I said, "When I was not the heir before, the Fan family treated me worse. Sometimes the meaning of money is far less than what you think. I think if your grandfather really decided to give it to you long ago, one procedure would be enough." ..."
"Okay." He interrupted me, stood up, and said, "I'll take you back."
