Jiang Hai also softly called out, “Miss Mei, we’ve arrived.”

Mei Shu opened her eyes only then, a moment of confusion flickering in her eyes briefly, then sharp as usual, “Jiang Hai, wait for me in the car. I’ll go in alone.”

“Yes.” Jiang Hai obediently stayed in place without moving.

The manager personally got out of the car to open the door for Mei Shu, “Miss Mei, should I and Secretary Jiang stay here with you?”

“Mm.” Mei Shu frowned slightly and then walked in alone.

The door wasn’t locked, slightly ajar, and she effortlessly entered the interior.

As she approached, she could hear the clinking of cups and saucers in the living room.

A maid who had been pouring tea straightened up and politely smiled at Mei Shu, “Miss Mei, Madam has been waiting for you for a long time. Please have a seat.”

Mei Shu’s calm gaze shifted from the maid’s smiling face to the woman sitting on the sofa across from her, “It seems the manager has already informed you that I was coming. What good tea have you prepared for me?”

Ruan Li smiled softly, gently shaking her head, gesturing with her hand towards the empty sofa opposite, “No, even if no one notified me, I knew you would come.”

“Did the woman beside Zhou Lin tell you I would come to visit you?” Mei Shu sat down on the sofa, picked up the tea cup and gently sniffed it, “West Lake Longjing Tea worth over seven hundred thousand every five hundred grams, Ms. Ruan has excellent taste.”

Ruan Li still smiled gently, shaking her head while speaking, “She did indeed call me, but it’s not just because of this. Miss Mei, actually, from the moment you arrived in Wendith, I knew you would come to see me.”

Mei Shu raised her eyebrows unexpectedly, “It seems I did find the right person. Ms. Ruan, I know Zhou Lin has given you many benefits over the years. This time, I also came with sincerity.”

She placed a black and gold bank card on the table, tilting her head with a smile, “As long as you tell me what I want to know, all the money in here is yours.”

“I don’t lack money now.” Ruan Li said helplessly, “Actually, the reason I agreed to see you this time is because I have something to tell you.”

“Go ahead.” Mei Shu put on an attentive look.

The woman in front of her looked gentle, graceful and dignified, and Mei Shu liked to associate with such people.

Ruan Li pursed her lips, asked the maid to attend to her own business first, and waited until there were no more unnecessary people in the room before whispering, “I know why you came to Wendith this time. To be honest, all your movements here are under surveillance by others.”

“It’s true that Zhou Lin has a lot of control over Wendith, but a small place like Wendith doesn’t attract the attention of those truly influential figures. Digging deeper into this won’t do you or President Lu any good. It’s best to go back sooner.”

Mei Shu gently curved his lips, not responding to her words but instead asked about something else, “Do you know Ms. Su?”

Ruan Li visibly paused, a fleeting sparkle of tears in her eyes, quickly suppressed. “I don’t know her. I just kindly advised you. Whether you believe it or not, meeting with you alone at this moment, risking being suspected by Zhou Lin, is enough to express my sincerity.”

Mei Shu nodded in appreciation. “But what I want to do is something no one can stop because it’s not for myself, but to reveal the truth for someone I love dearly.”

Ruan Li’s face showed conflict. “Why bother with the past? Those who arc trapped in the past are destined to have no future.”

Mei Shu shrugged it off. “That’s our own business. Even if we have no future, it won’t affect you continuing to enjoy wealth and prosperity, Ms. Ruan. I’ve expressed my sincerity, so feel free to make any requests. But if you choose to remain silent, then I’ll take my leave.”

“No!” Ruan Li kept her head down, unwilling to let Mei Shu see her current expression, but her clenched fist betrayed her inner turmoil. “Fine, since you asked for my request, I won’t be polite.”

Mei Shu slightly raised her hand, “You can say anything you want. As long as I can satisfy it, I can guarantee your safety and let you enjoy a wealthier life than now for the rest of your life.”

Ruan Li suddenly looked up, her eyes filled with greed, “I heard Miss Mei is now independently managing the Mei Corporation? Since Miss Mei is so persistent about the secrets I know, why not just give me the company, let me be the owner of the company. I’m tired of being a canary in a gilded cage. I want to try being a president, but I don’t know if Miss Mei is willing.”

With these words, Mei Shu instinctively narrowed her eyes, her voice sinking little by little, “Have you made up your mind to say nothing?”

“No, I’m willing to say, it’s just that Miss Mei is reluctant to give me what I want.” Ruan Li intentionally revealed a cunning look, wanting her to back down.

Little did she know that Mei Shu actually nodded under her provoking gaze, “Alright, I said I can satisfy whatever you want. I only want the truth..”
