Chapter 124 I Want to Give You Everything I Have
Feng Mingzhou held Gu Manman's hand and walked through several brightly lit corridors toward an inconspicuous side building deep in the manor.
There were no servants in the building, only sensor lights that lit up one by one with their footsteps.
At the end, there is an elevator.
The elevator went down to the basement, and in front of us was an alloy door similar to the door of a bank vault. There was no handle on the door, only a sophisticated scanner embedded in the wall.
Feng Mingzhou walked forward and placed his palm on the scanner. The infrared ray swept across, making a slight "beep" sound.
Then he aimed at the iris reader next to him.
"Identity confirmed, Mr. Feng Mingzhou." An electronic voice sounded.
The heavy alloy door slowly slid inward, revealing another door at the back that also required verification.
"Where is this?" Gu Manman was a little confused when she saw the security level which was comparable to that of a military base.
"You'll know when you come in." Feng Mingzhou led her in and repeated the verification steps just now.
The second door opened, and there was a third door inside.
After three verifications, the last door was finally opened completely.
Behind the door was a huge space, where the cold white light made the room as bright as day.
Gu Manman's breathing paused for a moment.
Everywhere you look, there are rows of neatly stacked gold bars, shining brightly under the lights, almost blinding you.
In addition to the gold, there are rows of filing cabinets that reach to the ceiling.
Feng Mingzhou took her to an operating table and gave her input permissions.
"Here, only the two of us can open it."
Gu Manman's eyes moved away from the golden bars and fell on the filing cabinets next to them: "These are..."
"Part of the assets accumulated by the Feng family over the years, and some of the money I've earned over the years." He spoke casually, as if he was saying that the weather was nice today. "Gold bars, gold nuggets, and those documents are real estate, land, company shares, trust funds around the world..."
He paused, turned his head and looked at her with a serious look in his eyes: "I will let the lawyer start processing and slowly transfer all of these to your name."
Gu Manman looked at him, not knowing what to say for a moment.
She had seen big scenes, and the Qin family’s wealth was not to be underestimated, but everything before her was still beyond her imagination.
This is not just money, but also an unreserved trust.
"Feng Mingzhou," she said, her voice a little dry, "I'm...not short of money now."
The Qin family was in her hands, and she herself possessed sufficient wealth.
Feng Mingzhou approached her from behind, put his arms around her waist, rested his chin gently on her neck, and his warm breath brushed her ears.
"I know you don't need it." His chest was pressed against her back, and his voice came through the contact of their bodies, with a low vibration.
"It's not about whether you need it or not, it's about whether I can afford it or not, it's about what I want to give you."
"I want to give you everything I have. Including myself."
Gu Manman lowered her eyes, and her long eyelashes cast a faint shadow under the light.
"You know, this is very dangerous." She whispered, "What if one day I take everything from you and leave?"
"Then I will chase you. Chase you to the ends of the earth, until you are willing to come back. Without you, no matter how much wealth I have, it will be meaningless."
Feng Mingzhou tightened his arms around her waist, then turned her around to face him.
He lowered his head, kissed her, and said, "Manman, I'm sorry, I realized this too late."

The early morning air is cool with the feel of dew and mixed with the fresh scent of grass and trees.
Gu Manman went for a morning jog along the path in the garden.
This place is incredibly large and extremely quiet. Occasionally, you can see gardeners trimming flowers or security guards patrolling in the distance, but they all bow their heads from a distance and dare not approach.
After running, a thin layer of sweat appeared on her body. Gu Manman slowed down and walked back towards the main building.
Just as she reached the open space in front of the main building and before she climbed the stairs, a figure suddenly rushed out from the shadow of the flower bed next to her and knelt upright in front of her.
Gu Manman paused and saw who was coming. It was Feng Wu.
Unlike the embarrassment she showed when she was dragged out of the banquet yesterday, Miss Feng Wu's hair was disheveled at this moment, and her face was covered with fingerprints and whip marks from yesterday. The redness and swelling had not yet subsided, making her originally delicate features look a little distorted and terrifying.
She was still wearing yesterday's clothes, which were wrinkled and covered with dirt and grass.
“Madam! Please have mercy! Please forgive us!” Feng Wu raised his head, tears on his face, his voice hoarse and crying, “It’s my fault for not recognizing a great man, it’s my fault for being mean, I deserve to die! Please talk to the head of the family and give us a way out! We know we’re wrong, we really know we’re wrong!”
She took two steps on her knees, trying to pull up Gu Manman's trouser legs.
Gu Manman took a step back, avoiding her touch, looking at her calmly without saying a word.
She has seen many such plays of changing one's attitude according to the situation and being rude at first and respectful later.
People like Feng Wu are bullies at heart and have no sincerity at all. Now he is kneeling on the ground begging for mercy, which is just a desperate performance and he does not deserve any sympathy.
Seeing that Gu Manman was indifferent and turned to leave without even giving her a glance, the pleading expression on Feng Wu's face froze.
She remained kneeling on the ground, and the tears in her eyes stopped, replaced by the familiar resentment from yesterday.
I can't pretend anymore.
She suddenly stood up from the ground, wiped the tears from her face, and her expression instantly became ferocious.
"Bah! Why are you pretending to be so noble!" She spat, her voice sharp and sarcastic, "You are where you are today just by climbing into the bed of the master of the house. What's so great about that! You really think you are a piece of cake!"
"Besides whispering in bed, what else can you do? Without your man, you are nothing! You're just a prostitute!" Her words became more and more unpleasant, and all the anger and humiliation that were suppressed yesterday burst out at this moment.
"When the master gets tired of you, I'll show you how I'll deal with you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, two security guards who had been guarding in the shadow of the main building's porch rushed over quickly. Their movements were so swift that they didn't give Feng Wu any time to react.
“Bang!”
“Bang!”
Crisp slapping sounds rang out one after another, fast and hard, directly hitting Feng Wu's already red and swollen face.
Feng Wu was stunned by the beating. He covered his face with his hands, blood oozing from the corners of his mouth. He looked at the two expressionless security guards in disbelief.
Gu Manman then slowly turned around and looked at Feng Wu. Her tone was calm, but with a condescending look.
"Yes, I rely on men, what's wrong?"
"If my man is willing to give it to me, I will take it. Wu Zetian got the world by getting men. According to you, she should give up her throne to you to sit on, which is fair?"
She tilted her head slightly, with a hint of mockery in her eyes.
"Even if I didn't seal Mingzhou, I'm still the one in charge of the Qin family."
"And you?"
"You don't rely on men?" Gu Manman's eyes swept over Feng Wu's embarrassed appearance, "Don't you rely on your father to bully people all day long? Don't you and your family suck the blood of the Feng family?"
"Feng Mingzhou has no obligation to support you so-called clan members who have nothing to do with us."
After saying that, he walked into the main building without looking back.
When Feng Mingzhou learned about this, he was handling official business in his study.
"Master, what should we do?"
Feng Mingzhou pushed the signed document aside, picked up the next one, and said calmly, "You guys handle it."
"Kill the chicken to scare the monkey. To prevent those old guys in Jincheng from living in peace for too long and becoming too active."
"Yes." The assistant's heart trembled, and he immediately understood what the head of the family meant.
This was not just a matter of dealing with the ignorant Feng Wu, but also a warning to the entire branch of the Feng family in Tianjin.
The status of this new mistress cannot be challenged by anyone.
