Although Chen Rou is not involved in business and does not understand economics, she has handled many cases in terms of inheritance. In her opinion, Mei Lu is not as indifferent to worldly affairs and fame and fortune as Nie Rong described, but is actually very ambitious.
At least, she never thought of returning Asheng Jewelry, which Han Yuzhu had built up from scratch, to Han Yuzhu's descendants.
Of course, if Mei Lu understands the jewelry industry and is good at managing it, and if she will hand over the profits of Asheng Jewelry to Han Yuzhu's descendants according to the shareholding ratio, then there is nothing wrong with her approach.
Chen Rou was a strong-willed person who also admired capable and talented women.
As long as Mei Lu is shrewd, capable, and competent, she will admire her and wouldn't mind being friends with her.
According to the case files Chen Rou saw in her previous life, Nie Rong will die in a week, and the cause of death is unknown. Ms. Mei Lu will live a long time, but probably next year, Nie Zhao will sue her in court over property and accounting issues. Of course, she will lose the case, and afterwards she will become disabled and develop mental problems, and will live in a mental hospital.
...
Let's get back to the present.
Chen Rou and Nie Han were taking a bath when the phone next to the bathtub rang.
Nie Han quickly answered the phone, called out to Uncle Sheng, and said, "Have Afen take the clothes into the bathroom, and leave the food outside. We'll go out to eat in a bit. Can you send a driver over?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Rou interrupted Nie Han and said, "Han, I'm not going home, I'll stay here."
Nie Han then said to the housekeeper, "Uncle Ming, could you please go home and to Sister Arou's guest room and bring all her personal belongings here?"
After hanging up the phone, she said, "Sister Rou, you've worked so hard for several days. Now that we're home and safe, we shouldn't be resting in the hospital. We should go home and get some rest."
That's the innocence of a little girl.
Nie Han thought that as long as he returned to Hong Kong, Nie Zhao would be safe with more than a dozen bodyguards from the Nie family surrounding the door of the ward.
However, in Chen Rou's view, Nie Zhao's current situation is not much better than when he was in the Philippines.
Of course, Chen Rou was talking about safety, not material aspects.
The Nie family is the richest family in Hong Kong, and the profits and losses on paper do not affect their lives.
The living expenses of the richest family were something that even when Chen Rou was the captain of a special forces unit and was hospitalized in a high-ranking cadre ward, she never enjoyed.
She was taking a bath when her Filipino maid came in to bring her clothes.
When Chen Rou got dressed and came out of the bathroom, there were large and comfortable bathrobes, a hairdryer and a comb on the dressing table, as well as various high-end cosmetics that Chen Rou would only dare to look at but not buy when she went shopping in the future.
In her past life, as a soldier, she hardly used cosmetics or sunscreen. Her skin was a natural and healthy bronze color, and her muscular physique aroused envy and jealousy among her comrades.
But this life is different. The original owner of this body has never exercised and doesn't have the same skin quality as her. After running around for several days, her face was sunburned and swollen, and she developed a dense rash. In order to improve her skin, Chen Rou had to use some moisturizing cosmetics.
The food was already laid out outside, a whole table full of fish, shrimp, porridge, and vegetables.
Upon seeing Chen Rou emerge, a middle-aged maid immediately pulled out a chair and said with a smile, "Miss Chen, please sit down and have a meal. Time is too tight, and the kitchen hasn't had time to prepare anything. There are only a few simple dishes, so please make do with this for now."
Chen Rou had just eaten a hamburger, so she wasn't hungry.
Nie Han was really hungry. She took the bowl of porridge and wolfed it down with some snacks and vegetables.
After all, the maid had already prepared it, so it wouldn't be right not to eat any. Chen Rou then took the bowl of porridge handed to her by the maid. She remembered that the maid was called Aunt Qin, so she asked, "Aunt Qin, where is the butler, Uncle Ming? Is he at home or in the hospital?"
This Qin Ma was an old servant in the Nie family, and when she first entered the Nie family, she was Nie Zhao's wet nurse.
Later, Nie Zhao went to study abroad, and she became Nie Jiayu's wet nurse. She worked for the Nie family for many years. Now that Chen Rou and Nie Zhao are married, she is considered a member of the Nie family. It makes perfect sense for Mei Lu to ask her to come and serve Chen Rou.
She knew the original owner's taste best, so she personally picked out a bowl of boneless meat for Chen Rou and placed it in front of her before smiling and saying, "Madam Mei arrived a long time ago. The master has a bad headache and can't do anything. Madam Mei is discussing our third master's surgery with the housekeeper."
Chen Rou asked, "Has the doctor already set off for Switzerland?"
Nie Han wasn't satisfied with one bowl of porridge, so she added another bowl for herself, saying, "Operating on my uncle is an extremely urgent matter. The doctors there set off as soon as the appointment was made, and it will take at least two or three hours."
Nie Rong is a 60-year-old man who suffers from chronic insomnia. He can't stay up all night and has also developed headaches.
Mei Lu is only forty-five this year, which is a very capable age.
If she were Nie Zhao's biological mother, it would be understandable for her to contact the doctor. But even if she wasn't Nie Rong's wife in the legal sense, she was still a concubine who had a written agreement to take her as a concubine, and would be protected under Hong Kong law.
Entrusting her with Nie Zhao's surgery demonstrates Nie Rong's trust in her.
Of course, if Nie Rong didn't trust Mei Lu, he wouldn't have let her be his only bedmate after his wife's death.
It's 2 a.m., and there are still 12 hours before the doctor arrives in Hong Kong. Chen Rou has her own plans regarding Nie Zhao's surgery and how to invite the doctor. And if she guesses correctly, Mei Lu will be coming to find her soon.
