"Thank you, Meixiu, for the lesson. I will keep in mind everything you have taught me today." Yuan said to her after spending an hour getting lectured about the differences between men and women.
"Then I will go back to my room now. I am more exhausted than usual for some reason," Meixiu said to him.
"Okay. Good night." Yuan said to her.
Once she returned to her room, Meixiu buried her face into the pillow and proceeded to suffocate herself until she could no longer endure it.
However, she was unable to calm down despite doing that.
’I have done it... I really did that to him...’ Meixiu cried inwardly, recalling what she’d done to Yuan inside the bathroom.
Although she’d expected to do such things and even more before for Yuan when she was being trained by her mother, that was years ago, and they were no longer in the Yu Family. Furthermore, their rtionship has evolved to being much more than just a servant and master.
Meixiu would proceed to spend the entire night thinking about how she should act when around Yuan.
As for Yuan... He slept like a baby, instantly falling asleep a few seconds after closing his eyes, and if one went into his room while he slept, one would see a gentle smile on his face.
Meanwhile, around the same time at the Yu Family, a middle-aged man wearing a ck suit stood before Yu Yong and Tang Lee.
"Master Yu, Madam Tang, we have located her location." This middle-aged man said.
"Thank you, Mister Johnson. Where is Meixiu right now?" Yu Yong then asked this middle-aged man, who he’d hired to investigate Meixiu’s whereabouts.
"After looking through some of the surveince cameras in the streets, we have managed to locate the building Meixiu lives in, and it’s an apartment about an hour away from this ce."
"During our investigation on Meixiu, we also found something unexpected— that she appears to be with Yu Tian."
"What? Meixiu is with that useless thing? Are you sure? Why didn’t the Chairman tell us that when he visited?" Tang Lee eximed in a surprised voice.
Mister Johnson nodded and said, "We saw them entering the apartment together, and after speaking with Chairman Zhao, he confirmed that there was a cripple in a wheelchair with Meixiu at the Cultivators’ Association."
"We even have a picture from the surveince."
Mister Johnson proceeded to show them a picture of Meixiu pushing a wheelchair that carried Yuan.
Yu Yong frowned and said, "She left the Yu Family to be with him? Why am I not surprised? She was trained by Meifeng to be his personal maid at one point."
"Of course there’s someone with him. That trash can’t possibly live by himself now that Yu Rou is no longer helping him. However, does this also mean that Meifeng had lied to us about Meixiu’s situation? I refuse to believe that she didn’t know about her daughter’s situation." Tang Lee then said.
Yu Yong raised his eyebrows and said, "Meifeng has remained loyal to the family ever since she joined the family. I don’t believe that she would lie to us. Though we should still talk to her about this just in case."
"Anyway, this is an entirely different situation that can be dealt with after our current one. Can you bring Meixiu back to us, Mister Johnson?" Yu Yong asked the middle-aged man.
He nodded and said, "Although we have located her whereabouts, we have yet to locate her exact location. We know where she lives, but we don’t know where exactly, and the building owners refused to give us ess to the surveince cameras without a proper reason."
"What are you trying to say? It’s just an apartment. Go knock on every single door until you find her. That’s why we hired you." Tang Lee said with a frown.
Mister Johnson smiled and said, "Madam Tang, we were only paid to locate her whereabouts, and that is exactly what we have done. The contract doesn’t state that we have to do anything else once we find her location."
The frown on Tang Lee’s face grew deeper, but before she could speak, Mister Johnson continued, "In case you forgot, Meixiu was called a cultivation genius by Chairman Zhao himself. If that’s the case, there’s a good chance that she’s a high-level cultivator at this moment. Even if we knock on every door and find her, we cannot physically force her toe with us if she refuses since our team doesn’t have the manpower to do so."
"If there’s a chance that we must use force to bring Meixiu back to the Yu Family, we will need to hire more people— cultivators that are powerful enough to bring her back. However, powerful cultivators are not easy to find. Do you understand where I am getting at?"
Yu Yong pondered for a moment before speaking, "In other words, you are asking us for more money. Is that correct?"
Mister Johnson merely smiled at his question, his answer clear.
"I don’t care how much it will cost. I want her back at the Yu Family. We can simply have Chairman Zhao cover the cost of the operation and more when we give him Meixiu." Tang Lee said in a cold voice.
"Very well. I will immediately assemble a team of powerful cultivators to bring Meixiu back. It should be done by the end of the week." Mister Johnson said.
"As for the price, we will calcte everything once we get the team together before sending them to you. Once we receive the payment, we will immediately bring her back."
Mister Johnson said, implying that unless they receive the money, they wouldn’t do anything. Although the Yu Family is a powerful family, they were notpletely invincible and almighty in this world, so not everyone will be willing to work for them without money, which is the real power.
After Mister Johnson left the ce, Yu Yong summoned Meifeng to their home despite it being incrediblyte at night.
Meifeng, who was asleep at the time, had to wake up and make her way to their ce after being called, but she didn’tin, as she puts her masters’ needs before her own needs.
Half an hourter, Meifeng arrived at the Yu Family.ConTEent bel0ngs to N?v(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
