Chapter 188 Don’t Go the Old Way
After cleaning up the two of them, Meng Han carried the already asleep Yu Huan back to bed. Just as he covered her with the quilt, his phone rang.
The caller was Meng Tan. He picked up the phone, but before he could say anything, the other party spoke first.
"Uncle seems to be dying. He may not survive the night. He has been taken back to the old house. You should probably come over."
Meng Han's expression was calm and unperturbed, as if he had already expected this. "I know."
After saying that, he hung up the phone. Standing by the bed, looking at Yu Huan who was sleeping with her eyes closed, he leaned over and kissed her forehead.
Soon, he will be able to clear the obstacles and take her home with peace of mind.
"good evening."
She stood up, tiptoed out of the bedroom, turned off the light, closed the door and left. After leaving Yu Huan's house, the gentleness on her face was gone, leaving only a fierce look.
Meng Tan was in the old house at this time. He stood in the garden, turned his head and looked through the floor-to-ceiling window at the servants running around in the hall and the family members with different expressions.
There was sadness on everyone's face, but everyone knew how much of this sadness was real and how much was fake.
Meng Yunhai's death was both an accident and not an accident.
But his death means that the Meng family’s resources will have to be redistributed.
Mr. Meng values the eldest house because when he was starting out, he relied on his first wife's dowry as start-up capital. It was also his first wife who accompanied him through so much hardship and overcame many difficulties, which led to the current Meng family.
When Meng Yunhai was born, Grandpa Meng had not yet made a fortune. He was left in his hometown to live with his grandparents since he was a child. He did not receive the company and care of his parents, and he suffered a lot of hardships and grievances.
Later, his life became better and Mr. Meng became more active. He had many beautiful women outside.
Due to years of hard work and her husband's betrayal, Mr. Meng's first wife died of illness before she could enjoy a few years of good life.
Old Master Meng soon married his second wife, the mother of Meng Yunjiang and Meng Yunhe.
Men all have a common problem: they don't know how to cherish what they have, but when they lose it, they suddenly become affectionate. The first wife seems to have become his unforgettable love.
But is it love or guilt?
He made up for all his guilt and debt on Meng Yunhai, giving him more attention and power than the other children.
Meng Yunhai is not a very smart person, but he is obedient. He does whatever Grandpa Meng asks him to do. Over the years, he has made Grandpa Meng satisfied.
But Meng Yunhai's two sons were not so popular with Mr. Meng.
Because of the hardships he suffered in his childhood, Meng Yunhai doted on his two sons, and at the same time passed on his resentment towards his two younger brothers to his two sons.
Meng Qin and Meng Shou, who grew up under such education, were arrogant and conceited, and treated their cousins even more cruelly and ruthlessly, using all kinds of despicable tricks.
Mr. Meng looked down on them, but he was getting older and began to feel afraid. He was increasingly worried that after his death, his first wife, to whom he owed her, would come looking for him. For this reason, he could only indulge his eldest son's family in an attempt to offset his mistakes.
But now Meng Yunhai is dead.
The eldest son, to whom he owed the most, died. When a person dies, all debts are settled. It is enough for Mr. Meng to make amends for it over the years. In addition to his eldest son, he has two other sons.
Moreover, Meng Qin and Meng Shou are not as obedient as their father, and are not easily controlled by Grandpa Meng. If the entire group is really handed over to these two brothers, I am afraid that the foundation he has worked so hard to build will decline within a few years.
For the prosperity of the Meng family, he will definitely re-examine the abilities of the descendants of the Meng family.
"What are you doing here?" Meng Chunsheng rushed back to the old house just after receiving the notice. As soon as he entered the gate, he saw Meng Tan standing in the garden with a strange smile on his lips.
Meng Tan glanced at him, the smile on his face growing wider. "You really should be thankful that you were born into the right womb. If you had been born into my mother's womb, your life wouldn't have been so good."
If Meng Han hadn't protected this idiot, he would have been eaten clean in the Meng family's dangerous den.
Meng Chunsheng had always been at odds with Meng Tan. He rolled his eyes when he heard his nonsensical and incomprehensible words.
"You're mentally ill. I think you took too many drugs abroad." He cursed softly, ignored Meng Tan, and turned to walk into the house.
Meng Tan shrugged and followed him into the house.
Next, I have to act again.
When Meng Han arrived at the Meng family's home, the mourning hall had already been set up, with the younger generation kneeling on either side of the coffin. Old Master Meng still believed that when someone dies, they must leave home to rest in peace.
When Ji Ting saw Meng Han appear, she immediately asked someone to put on mourning clothes for him. Meng Han glanced at the scene and did not see Meng Yunjiang.
"Where's Dad?"
"Your grandfather is upstairs with you. When your uncle left, he almost fainted. Please take good care of him these past few days. The next moment will be a critical one."
As soon as she finished speaking, Meng Yunjiang appeared at the door of the mourning hall. Seeing Meng Han, he waved at him.
Meng Han walked over, "Dad."
Meng Yunjiang motioned for him to follow him, "Your grandfather said he wants to see you."
The father and son came to Mr. Meng's bedroom. The old man's face had lost its former spirit, and he suddenly became listless, like a tree that had lost its vitality and was withering rapidly.
"Grandpa." Meng Han stood at the head of the bed.
"Yunjiang, go out. I want to talk to Xiaohan." Old Master Meng propped himself up and tried to sit up.
Meng Han leaned over to help him up, and took out a cushion to put behind him.
Meng Yunjiang had already left the bedroom at this time, and only the grandfather and grandson were left in the bedroom.
Old Master Meng looked at his grandson with his cloudy eyes. This was his most outstanding grandson, but also the one who received the most unfair treatment.
In an environment where the fittest survive, he should have received more resources with his abilities, but because of the favoritism of his elders, he was tied to the subsidiary company and wasted so many years of his life.
"Xiaohan, do you hate grandpa?"
Meng Hanyingdeqing: "I don't hate it."
Mr. Meng laughed, "You lied, how could I not hate you? You are better than them all, but you get the least."
Meng Han met Old Man Meng's eyes, his expression normal. "There's no such thing as fairness in this world, and it's impossible for anyone to treat everyone equally. This is true for you, my dad, and all parents in the world."
"Instead of worrying about whether it's fair or not, it's better to spend your time and energy on improving yourself. You can't hold on to what others give you. You can only truly own what you want if you get it yourself."
After hearing this, Mr. Meng laughed first, then sighed.
"Please call Lawyer Yang for me. I need to revise my will."
As he spoke, he looked at Meng Han and said, "Xiao Han, grandpa is old. I hope you can learn from my mistakes and not follow in his footsteps."
Meng Han nodded his head, feeling disdainful.
How could he possibly follow in Mr. Meng's footsteps? At least he couldn't fall in love with a second woman.
