Liu Mei saw that Xu Xiuxiu's eyes were almost glued to the skirt, so she turned around and picked up a biscuit box from the windowsill next to her.

There was still half a cookie in the box, which was also bought by Aunt Jenny.

Xu Xiuxiu was not allowed to touch the skirt. In order not to make her sad, Liu Mei decided to comfort her with cookies.

Xu Xiuxiu is usually a greedy person. With the biscuits in her hand, she didn't pay any attention to Liu Mei's skirt.

After eating for a while, Xu Xiuxiu suddenly remembered something: "Liu Mei, when I went to work in the mountains before, I overheard a secret about Xiang Baiwei. Do you want to hear it?"

Liu Mei was of course interested in Xiang Baiwei's secret.

But she didn't want to show it.

So Liu Mei picked up her teacup with a very calm expression: "Xiang Baiwei's? What's so good about it? But I'm bored now, so I'll listen to it. Tell me, what secret is it?"

Xu Xiuxiu looked around and moved closer to the window sill. After making sure that no one was eavesdropping outside the window, she turned back and whispered in Liu Mei's ear, "I heard that Xiang Baiwei is not the Xiang family's biological child. She was adopted. They also said that she has a birthmark on her body."

After Xu Xiuxiu finished speaking, she laughed maliciously twice, and then she found that Liu Mei's face seemed a little strange: "What's wrong?"

Liu Mei's fingers tightly grasped the handle of the enamel pot: "You said Xiang Baiwei... was adopted? How was it adopted? I heard that some poor families have children that they can't raise, so they give them to relatives. Is this the case with Xiang Baiwei?"

"No, Xiang Baiwei's parents didn't know who she was, nor did they know if she was abandoned. It seems that when they found her, the clothes she was wearing were made of very good material. It is said that such good material may not be available in the department stores in the county."

Maybe the biscuits tasted too dry. Xu Xiuxiu patted her chest, which was a little choked, and walked to the side. She poured half a cup of water into her cup and came over to drink it in small sips.

Liu Mei was holding the porcelain sugar jar in a daze, and she didn't take a sip for a long time.

On the second night of staying with Aunt Jenny in the provincial capital, Aunt Jenny was moved by Liu Mei's excellent performance in the past two days and told her about part of her life abroad.

The content mainly talks about how rich Jenny's current husband's family is and the impact of not having children on herself.

Liu Mei was very curious at the time and asked Jenny: "My uncle is so rich. If he doesn't have a child, then what about the family fortune..."

The family property happened to be what Jenny was most worried about right now.

The key point is that Jenny and Liu Mei mentioned that the rich man once had a granddaughter, but she disappeared when she was very young. They also said that the place of disappearance was near Baiyun City, and the granddaughter was about the same age as Liu Mei.

Liu Mei remembered all the information that was mentioned casually.

After listening to the gossip that Xu Xiuxiu told, Liu Mei had a very scary guess in her mind.

Could it be that... Xiang Baiwei is the missing granddaughter of the rich man? This is too outrageous, isn't it? Xu Xiuxiu approached Liu Mei with the cup in her hand: "What are you thinking about? Did what I said just now scare you? Why are you so distracted?"

Liu Mei was indeed distracted and frightened by what she said.

If Xiang Baiwei is really the granddaughter of Aunt Jenny's current husband, then the huge fortune he has obtained will probably be wasted.

Liu Mei was certainly unwilling to give up this wealth that was within her reach.

We must never allow such a thing to happen.

Xiang Baiwei has already snatched Jiang Sui away, and now she must not be allowed to snatch away her wealth.

"Liu Mei? What's wrong with you? What are you thinking about? You don't even respond when I talk to you."

Xu Xiuxiu stretched out her hand and waved it in front of her eyes.

"Nothing, I just suddenly remembered that I have saved a sum of money and it might be targeted by others. I was thinking about how to avoid losses."

Liu Mei looked at Xu Xiuxiu with a smile on her face.

Liu Mei smiled and said, "You are right, but not completely. It's just that this is not safe enough. I have to think of a way to prevent that person from ever knowing that I have such a large sum of money."

Xu Xiuxiu didn't know the deep meaning of the words. She thought for a while according to her own understanding, then looked up and assured Liu Mei: "You know me, I'm greedy and I love to eat delicious food. I don't have any other shortcomings, and I never touch other people's money."

"I'm not talking about you, I'm talking about others. Don't take it to heart. We've known each other for so long, don't I know what kind of person you are?" Liu Mei smiled and hugged Xu Xiuxiu, comforting her by calling her a good sister.

After a while, Liu Mei remembered that she had left something at school, so she put the skirt back into the box, took the office key and went to school.

On the way back, Liu Mei met a person by chance, and the appearance of this person made her quickly come up with a good way to deal with Xiang Baiwei and perfectly preserve the wealth and glory for herself and Aunt Jenny for the rest of their lives.

Anyway, no matter whether Xiang Baiwei is the granddaughter of that rich man, it is better to get rid of her first.

However, this method is a little difficult to implement.

She needs to think long-term.

…

Three days later, Jiang Sui finally returned from the factory.

When she opened the door to Bai Wei, she saw Jiang Sui, who had obviously lost weight and had dark circles under his eyes. It was obvious that he was exhausted. She couldn't help but feel distressed: "Have you eaten? Are you very tired? Have a good rest after dinner."

Jiang Sui shook his head gently: "I'm too sleepy. I don't want to eat. I just want to sleep now."

"That won't work. How can I not eat?"

Xiang Baiwei pulled him into the inner room, brought over an enamel basin, and got a thermos: "Soak your feet first to relieve your fatigue. I'll bring you some food. Eat before you go to sleep."

Jiang Sui enjoyed Xiang Baiwei's meticulous care. He sat on the kang, soaking his feet while eating. After eating, he didn't ask anything, just pulled up the quilt and went to sleep.

He went to sleep at eight in the morning and didn't wake up until seven in the evening.

Finally, he was awakened by the smell of meat lingering on his nose.

Jiang Sui pinched the corners of his eyes and it took him a while to realize where he was.

Back home, not in the factory.

He has been busy repairing machines day and night these days, and he is exhausted.

Fortunately, the machines were repaired and production was not affected. In order to thank him, the deputy factory director gave him a big red envelope.

Jiang Sui took out the red envelope from his inner pocket and handed it to Xiang Baiwei who came in to check on him: "Weiwei, this is the red envelope I handed in."

Xiang Baiwei was stunned for a moment, and did not answer immediately: "Is this the money you earned from your hard work these past two days?"

"Yes, the deputy director said I worked hard, so this is a reward for me. Here, you can use it to buy things for your family. The weather is getting hot, so you should buy some new clothes."

Jiang Sui said this and pushed the red envelope forward again.

Is Weiwei really the child of a rich man? 　　Not necessarily.

What do you think?

The story behind this will be revealed in the future!
