Chapter 561: Losing Money! Puzzled!

Both daughters had fallen! What trickery was this?

The matter with the Sun Family regarding his eldest daughter, Zhuang Meifeng, hadn’t yet been settled. Now Zhuang Meina declared that she was going to marry Ling Yun?

“Nana, you can be willful, but you can’t talk nonsense. Your big sister and Ling Yun’s matter has yet to settle, and you want to marry Ling Yun? Where can we put our faces?”

Zhao Bomin took a long time to react due to shock. She quickly advised Zhuang Meina, knowing from one look that her daughter was serious.

Putting Ling Yun and Zhuang Meifeng’s feelings aside, the Zhuang Family couldn’t afford to do this. Both their daughters fell in love with the same guy. Now the elder one had been taken away, and the younger sister wanted to replace her. It was really unheard of!

“Hmph, have you forgotten that Big Sister ingested the Tranquil Pill? She has totally forgotten about Ling Yun. Moreover, she has gone to the Tranquil Sect, and her date of return is still unknown. Why can’t I marry Ling Yun?”

Zhuang Meina had her logic. Obviously, she had been plotting for a long time.

Zhuang Tiande and Zhao Bomin exchanged glances in disbelief. They could think of no fault with her logic.

Zhuang Meifeng had forgotten about Ling Yun, and Ling Yun hadn’t bothered them until now. It seemed as though that relationship had really ended.

If their elder daughter wasn’t going to marry Ling Yun, why couldn’t their younger daughter do so if she was really in love with him?

Zhuang Meina didn’t even mention giving Xie Junyan a pharmaceutical company or half of her shares when she was in a relationship with him.

They knew their younger daughter very well. She wouldn’t do this if she wasn’t head over heels for Ling Yun.

However, it was too much to pay for a stupid Ling Yun!

Originally, Zhuang Tiande thought that no matter how crazy Zhuang Meina was, she would suggest ten million yuan tops. Therefore, he nearly fell out of his chair when she suggested five hundred million yuan!

Zhuang Tiande’s world completely collapsed!

He took a dozen deep breaths before sitting back into the sofa with a gloomy face. He contemplated for a long while before asking Zhuang Meina, “Nana, are you serious?”

“Of course I’m serious! I’m not crazy, mind you!” Zhuang Meina replied without a trace of hesitation.

“But… Ling Yun likes your big sister, he might not like you!” Zhuang Tiande began to pour cold water.

“That is my business. We are only discussing one thing today, the two gift options for Ling Yun. Which one are you going to give?”

Zhuang Meina gave her father no authority in the matter, only a choice between the two. She had really eaten the heart of a lion.

Zhuang Tiande’s heart broke into many pieces. He looked at his wife, Zhao Bomin, for support.

However, Zhao Bomin had no say in the matter. She knew what her daughter was doing over the past month.

“Daddy, let me explain it to you. Our Zhuang Family will definitely not lose out if you can give this out!

“Think about it. Ling Yun killed Sun Tianbiao, but the Sun Family hasn’t dared to touch him. Why is that?”

The reason was simply that the Sun Family was afraid of Ling Yun’s power. They were afraid that they wouldn’t be able to kill Ling Yun and would instead incur his wrath!

“Sun Tianbiao brought so many people here arrogantly. Where did all these people go? Weren’t they all killed by Ling Yun? Think about it. How much blood was there when we returned to the western suburbs on the second day? The pathway was dyed red, and that was after it was cleaned up!

“Is five hundred million yuan a lot?”

Zhuang Meina matured a lot all of a sudden after Zhuang Meifeng left. Her logical reasoning ability was no less than her big sister’s.

Their personalities might be different, but they were from the same lineage. Zhuang Meifeng’s intelligence could be seen from her ability to obtain both the Chartered Public Accountant and Financial Actuary Certifications at the young age of twenty-one. Zhuang Meina wouldn’t be too far off.

Zhuang Tiande was shocked. He suddenly realized that there was a huge problem with his prejudice and rejection of Ling Yun.

It was Ling Yun.

“Can you guarantee that you will give it to him? Can you guarantee that Ling Yun will help us against the Sun Family if you do?

“Don’t forget, Ling Yun hasn’t visited us since that day! That ruthless boy! Hmph!”

Zhuang Tiande barked at his daughter after some thought. These were the two critical points.

Zhuang Meina shook her head decisively. “I can’t guarantee anything, but there is a very big difference between giving and not giving. It will make the Zhuang Family’s stance clear!”

“No matter what, my big sister was taken away by the Tranquil Sect because of Ling Yun. He won’t just stand there if he sees our family be bullied, right?”

Zhuang Tiande’s heart went through a roller coaster with Zhuang Meina’s words.

Ling Yun might not accept his younger daughter, but he was devoted to his elder daughter. He killed so many people from the Sun Family to rescue Zhuang Meifeng. Ling Yun would definitely not stand on the fence now that he was in a bad position!

“Har…”

Zhuang Tiande finally exhaled a long breath. “Alright, I’ll listen to you!” Zhuang Tiande blew air out of his nostrils.

“It’s just, can’t it be less? Won’t a hundred million be enough?” Zhuang Tiande wanted to save where he could.

He had a net worth of ten billion yuan, but five hundred million yuan was five percent of it! It was impossible not to feel any heart pain if he just gave it out like that.

In fact, Zhuang Tiande should be glad! If Zhuang Meifeng were to give all her shares to Ling Yun, it would be more than one billion yuan!

Zhuang Meina had fulfilled her purpose. Her elation was reflected on her face immediately. She cheered and ran to Zhuang Tiande’s side. “Daddy, don’t you worry. I promise that you won’t lose out. Ling Yun will definitely help our family!” Zhuang Meina declared while hugging his arm.

“In my opinion, we should give him five percent of our shares. In that way, he will be one of the major shareholders of the Zhuang Family Pharmaceutical Group. Can he turn a blind eye if we are under attack by the Sun Family?”

He had to admit that Zhuang Meina had thought it through very well.

“Sigh… I lose to you. Alright, five percent it is. What the f*ck is this. I have to lose five percent of my shares to him just because he opened a small clinic. Why didn’t such a good deal happen to me?” Zhuang Tiande finally agreed, though he couldn’t help but swear.

“Write up a share transfer contract now. I’ll send it by myself tomorrow…” Zhuang Meina got an inch and wanted a mile now.

Zhuang Tiande and Zhao Bomin refused simultaneously. “Definitely not. He will think that you are there looking for trouble…”

Zhuang Meina didn’t bring it up again. She would feel jittery if she were to go there by herself.

“Quickly, quickly…” Zhuang Meina brought out a piece of paper that she had prepared beforehand and urged his father to write the contract.

“This child…” Zhao Bomin laughed bitterly.

…

A similar scene went on in Lin Menghan’s living room at the Luxurious Hot Springs Manor.

Lin Menghan’s father, Rear Admiral Lin Zhenggang, came for a vigorous military exercise in the Jiangnan Province. He took the opportunity to visit his daughter.

Lin Menghan wasn’t too spoiled even though she was from the third generation of a military family. She had high expectations for herself. Unfortunately, his baby daughter was too beautiful.

Everyone only saw her beauty, no one cared about her ability.

This was a double-edged sword for the Lin Family.

Long Tianjiao used an almost barbaric method to force the Lin Family into agreeing to the marriage.

Moreover, Long Tianjiao was indeed outstanding. His daughter might not love Long Tianjiao, but feelings could be cultivated. Therefore, they agreed to the marriage after a special meeting within the family.

However, the Lin Family received a letter for the withdrawal of engagement out of the blue after a month. It was a polite letter, saying that the Long Family was the initiator and was willing to compensate all losses if it affected the Lin Family in any way.

That puzzled the whole Lin Family.

Something was wrong!

The Lin Family pulled a lot of strings but still couldn’t figure out the reason for this change. That made the head of the Lin Family really worried.

It could only mean one thing — the Lin Family was no longer useful to the Long Family.

It was usually the first sign of attack and turmoil.

Therefore, Grandpa Lin ordered Lin Zhenggang to get to the bottom of the matter.

He happened to chance upon the scene of Ling Yun sending Lin Menghan home. He knew at once that Ling Yun was the root of the problem!

He wanted to understand the whole situation, but Ling Yun actually took his daughter away in front of him. He wouldn’t stop his car no matter how he shouted!

He chose to wait, but he left after receiving a call from the Jiangnan Province Military Region.

It was impossible to violate an order from the military. Lin Zhenggang could only leave an officer behind while he fulfilled his duties.

He rushed back to his daughter’s home only after the leaders of the military region finished their dinner.

“What’s going on?”

Lin Zhenggang sat on Lin Menghan’s sofa and drank the tea Lin Menghan served him. His expression was sharp as he stared at Lin Menghan in a military salute.

He spat out the tea upon Lin Menghan’s first sentence!
