It's no wonder Han Yuzhu trusted her cousin Mei Lu, nor is it no wonder Nie Rong didn't believe she would do evil.
Evil people harbor resentment in their hearts, and no matter how well they hide it, there will always come a time when it comes out.
But Mei Lu was different. In the original owner's memories, she was a gentle, patient, and good-tempered woman who could manage household chores and socialize. Moreover, she could soothe Nie Rong, that irritable old lion, when all the servants in the Nie family were trembling with fear.
The original owner of this body had even regarded her as a confidante for many years.
At this moment, she was still incredibly humble. She knelt at Nie Rong's feet, cowering like a little quail. When she heard Chen Rou's "hmm," she quickly raised her head because the tone was off, and just then she saw Chen Rou looking at her with a half-smile.
Mei Lu didn't panic, but she quickly lowered her head again.
She mechanically rubbed her knees and whispered, "Baoshan is my brother. If he's wrong, then I'm wrong."
Chen Rou knew she would say that.
She looked at Nie Rong with a half-smile, and saw that his expression could only be described in four words: utterly ashamed.
Two young women, one 18 and the other 22, were nearly raped and murdered, their flesh chopped up and fed to crocodiles. Now the murderer is right in front of them, but she looks pitiful and weak, as if she could not withstand even the slightest touch.
And that is reality, a tragic and laughable reality.
...
Vice Chairman Leung Lee-sang said that the kidnapping of children from wealthy families is almost commonplace in Hong Kong nowadays. The problem lies in the chaotic public security. As a result, the wealthy have hired a large number of bodyguards to prevent kidnapping. So, just like Nie Rong at the beginning, he blamed Nie Zhao for being careless.
If you accidentally get kidnapped, who can you blame?
Just now, Nie Rong talked to him about the matter of Mei Lu and her brother poisoning Han Yuzhu, and his suspicion that Mei Lu might be disloyal to him. However, Mei Lu denied everything and pushed all the blame onto Mei Baoshan.
She swore to God that she knew nothing about it and that Mei Baoshan was the one who did those things.
Nie Rong was furious, so he roared at her, which was the lion's roar that Chen Rou and the others heard outside.
But no matter how angry he was, he had to face a problem: the reason Mei Lu dared to come to the hospital and go upstairs was because she was sure that Mei Baoshan was dead and there was no one to diagnose him.
Since the dead can't speak, she can push all the dirty and sordid things onto Mei Baoshan.
Nie Rong was not only ashamed, but he also watched helplessly as the woman he had trusted for over twenty years shamelessly lied to his face. He was so angry he wanted to vomit blood. To make matters worse, his good brother also betrayed him.
He was so angry he couldn't speak, and to prevent himself from dying of anger, he clutched his heart and remained silent.
After being rebuked by Chen Rou, Liang Lisheng took a deep drag and smashed his cigar on the ground: "That was all done by Mei Baoshan."
Then Nie Rong said, "Brother, even if you say that the Second Madam is unfaithful, you can't make veiled accusations. You need evidence, right?"
DNA testing takes time, and the results are not yet available. Nie Rong has no other evidence, so it's too early to draw any definitive conclusions.
Like Nie Rong, Liang Lisheng came from a humble background and was actually a gangster.
Despite his size, he is said to be highly skilled in martial arts, extremely loyal, and very ruthless. He is also bold and decisive, making him an indispensable right-hand man to Nie Rong.
He knew, of course, that Chen Rou had married Nie Zhao and was the third wife of the Nie family. Like Nie Rong and Nie Zhao, she was his boss and someone he couldn't treat lightly or play around with. But he still smashed the cigar hard at Chen Rou's feet.
This is actually a provocation.
He smashed Chen Rou's clothes and provoked Nie Rong and his son Nie Zhao.
We're all brothers, so we won't openly break off relations, but things have already rifted inside.
There's a reason for that. The reason he trusted Mei Lu more was because Han Yuzhu and Nie Rong were two bosses who stood side by side back then. They were a couple, each with their own underlings. Han Yuzhu wouldn't deliberately treat Liang Lisheng well, but Mei Lu was different. She was just an appendage of Nie Rong, and she treated Liang Lisheng very well. Naturally, Liang Lisheng would favor her emotionally.
After smashing his cigar, Liang Lisheng never expected Chen Rou to be angry or retaliate. He immediately bent down and knelt down in front of Nie Zhao.
However, Chen Rou didn't tolerate it. With a flick of her toe, she kicked the still-lit cigar onto Liang Lisheng's head.
Leung Lee-sang had long hair, styled in the kind of slicked-back hairstyle popular in Hong Kong these days. In addition, his hair was thinning, so the half-smoked cigar got stuck in his hair, but because the cigar was so light, he didn't notice it.
Liang Lisheng was very fat, with a large belly, and it was difficult for him to kneel. He wrapped his arms around Nie Zhao's wheelchair and pressed his body down a little further, staring into Nie Zhao's eyes: "Give me A Yao immediately, A Zhao. He is very important to our Nie family, OK?"
With his arms outstretched, he enthusiastically described the situation: "The sea sand contract was worth 1.2 billion, and it took Ah Yao a whole year to get the government's approval."
Mei Lu looked up at Nie Rong at the right moment, her voice mournful, and clasped her hands together: "Master, you can tie me up, but don't delay our family's business. If you want to tie up A Yao, you can even kill A Yao, but let him finish his business first."
It's not uncommon for wealthy families to fight tooth and nail over inheritance, with each other turning against the other.
Mei Lu's move was like adding fuel to the fire. Liang Lisheng looked at Nie Rong again and said, "Brother, you always say that the business world is like a battlefield, where the winner takes all and heroes come from all walks of life. Ah Zhao was ambushed, but in today's Hong Kong, there are all sorts of monsters and shrewd people. If he can't even avoid that little bit of a sneak attack, how can he be the head of our Nie family?"
Frankly speaking, in his opinion, even if Nie Zhao was betrayed by Nie Yao, he deserved it.
Mei Lu seized the opportunity to interject: "I am innocent, and there is nothing wrong with A Yao's bloodline."
