Chapter 17 Vanity
The hollow carved iron gate outside the Ming family manor closed in front of them mercilessly.
There was a loud sound of metal colliding.
Special Assistant Wang turned to Xiao Cheng with a frown on his face.
"What should we do now?"
He has always been capable and has strong business skills.
I feel a little helpless when facing my boss's family affairs.
Xiao Cheng looked from the hollow of the gate to the huge statue of the goddess standing tall in the center of the manor fountain not far away.
No matter how many times he came here, he would still be shocked by the luxury of the Ming family.
He hesitated for a moment before speaking: "Wait a little longer."
Based on his understanding of Sheng Yuan.
Now this ambiguous result is not what he wanted.
In the waiting room, Mingzhu has not left yet.
The old housekeeper looked at Mingzhu who was flipping through the divorce agreement again and asked softly.
"Miss, do you need me to contact a lawyer right now?"
Mingzhu nodded slightly, but her eyes never left the paper.
Sheng Yuan took great pains to draft this agreement.
There was no intention to fool her at all.
In less than half an hour, Mr. Ming's former exclusive lawyer hurried over.
After the lawyer, whose hair was already somewhat gray, carefully read the agreement, he pushed his gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose and said, "Ms. Ming, there is no problem with the terms of the agreement."
Sheng Yuan obviously took into consideration the fact that Mingzhu had no independent source of income other than the trust fund.
Quite generous in property division.
This left a mark of affection for this ten-year marriage.
They had no children together.
With Sheng Yuan's current power and status.
In fact, he is fully capable of kicking Mingzhu out of the house.
Mingzhu finally confirmed the terms and closed the agreement with satisfaction.
At the moment, it seems that it is better not to try to save a relationship that has already been completely destroyed.
It would be better to take advantage of the fact that Sheng Yuan still feels guilty towards her and strive for the greatest benefit.
This is the optimal solution.
Sheng Yuan is so sensible, and she is also a decent person.
I don't like things to be too ugly.
The old butler handed over the pen at the right time.
Mingzhu signed her name on the agreement without hesitation.
Just after Mingzhu signed.
Looking at the name next to Sheng Yuan's, the lawyer suddenly spoke.
"Miss Ming, Mr. Ming once told me something before he passed away."
Mingzhu and the old housekeeper both showed surprised expressions on their faces.
Although this lawyer has worked under Mr. Ming for more than ten years.
But logically speaking, if Mr. Ming wants to explain something, he should choose to tell the old butler.
Now there is something that even the old butler doesn’t know.
The lawyer took out a sealed document from his briefcase.
"The old man specifically instructed that this matter must not be disclosed until the day you choose to divorce."
He paused, what he didn't say was.
Mr. Ming specifically instructed this.
If Mingzhu never gets divorced, this matter will never be told to her.
"Please sign this document. The old man has deposited an item for you at a Swiss bank. You must go and claim it in person."
Switzerland?
Mingzhu was even more confused.
What exactly did grandpa leave behind?
Is it necessary to use such a high level of storage method?
Even domestic banks are not at ease.
"OK."
Mingzhu signed the document with almost no hesitation.
Whatever grandpa left behind, she had to get it back.
The lawyer said after confirming that the signature was correct.
"I need to be there then, too."
Mingzhu nodded slightly, and after thinking for a moment, she simply said, "Why don't we set off now?"
She completely forgot about the invitation she had promised Lin Huaiyan yesterday to visit his house.
The lawyer readily agreed.
He has worked for the Ming family for decades and has already earned enough money for his retirement.
Now I just have to wait to complete Mr. Ming’s last request before I can retire completely.
"I'll arrange the nearest flight right away." The old butler said energetically.
Xiao Cheng and Special Assistant Wang were still waiting quietly in the car.
The door of the Ming family suddenly opened.
A specially modified, extended black sedan drove out and then quickly accelerated away.
"Whose car is this?" Special Assistant Wang asked doubtfully, "The car that just drove in doesn't seem to be this one."
Xiao Cheng glanced at him helplessly.
Who else could be in the Ming family now besides Madam?
Xiao Cheng wrote down the license plate number.
Immediately contact people in Shanghai to track the whereabouts of the car.
In Shanghai, it was almost impossible to track down the whereabouts of the Ming family.
But now the Ming family is not as powerful as before.
Only some of the original old shareholders remain in Mingshi.
There will be no obstacles in the investigation.
Soon the news reached Xiao Cheng's mobile phone.
The car was heading to the airport and the flight's destination was Switzerland.
Xiao Cheng immediately called Sheng Yuan.
"Did she sign it?"
On the other end of the phone, Sheng Yuan went straight to the point and interrupted what Xiao Cheng was about to say.
"Madam...she probably...hasn't." Xiao Cheng answered cautiously.
Sheng Yuan raised the corners of his mouth in satisfaction, completely ignoring the uncertainty in Xiao Cheng's tone.
An irrepressible joy welled up in my heart.
"When will she be back?"
Xiao Cheng was speechless for a moment.
Thinking of Mingzhu's expression which didn't show much emotion.
He even seemed indifferent when he heard the news that Yang Tian was in Nanyuan.
But since Sheng Yuan didn't ask in detail, he didn't dare to say more.
"Madam is flying to Switzerland now."
"She's alone?"
Sheng Yuan's voice suddenly became tense.
"They are also accompanied by Uncle Zhou and the old lawyer who used to work for Mr. Ming."
Although Sheng Yuan felt a little doubtful about Mingzhu bringing a lawyer with her.
But when I think about the fact that these two people were originally Mr. Ming’s confidants.
Just think of it as Mingzhu's sudden impulse to take the two old people out for a walk to relax.
"Want to go relax?"
Sheng Yuan's tone was obviously much more relaxed.
Xiao Cheng lowered his head.
He didn't quite understand, so he didn't know how to respond.
"You guys come back first." Sheng Yuan paused. He was in a good mood now and didn't make things difficult for them.
"Remember to send Yang Tian back."
Since the goal has been achieved.
Then there is no need for Yang Tian to stay in Nanyuan any longer.
After hanging up the phone, Special Assistant Wang asked, "President Sheng wants us to go back now?"
Xiao Cheng nodded, started the car and drove away from the Ming family's gate.
In the rearview mirror, the Ming family manor gradually disappeared into the distance.
Yang Tian stood in front of the wardrobe in the dormitory, rummaging through the clothes inside with a frown.
Each piece looks so cheap and ordinary.
It's not worthy of a place like Nanyuan at all.
Yang Tian bit her lip and calculated the balance in her bank card.
I was hesitating whether to go to the mall to buy some decent clothes.
"Yang Tian, are you staying out again tonight?"
The roommate asked curiously.
"Yeah." Yang Tiantou responded without replying.
"Where are you staying?" another roommate interrupted. "Hotels in Beijing aren't cheap."
A shy blush appeared on Yang Tian's face: "It's...a friend's house."
After saying that, she added hesitantly, "In...Nanyuan."
The dormitory exploded instantly.
"Nanyuan!!!" The roommate's voice suddenly rose. "Is that Nanyuan?"
In Beijing, no one doesn’t know what Nanyuan means.
That is the symbol of top power.
The other roommates immediately gathered around, asking, "Tiantian, do you know anyone in Nanyuan?"
Yang Tian usually doesn't even want to buy cosmetics.
How could it be related to a place like that?
But on second thought, with Yang Tian's pretty face, it's not impossible for her to be noticed by some big shots in Nanyuan.
Yang Tian was surrounded by people, and the blush on her face became more obvious: "It's just... just ordinary friends."
"Oh~" The roommates drew out the tone and exchanged ambiguous glances.
"We understand. If it works, please bring it out for us to see!"
Yang Tian lowered her head, pretending not to hear this, pinching the corner of her clothes with her fingers: "When the dormitory supervisor checks the dormitory..."
"Leave it to us! Just go ahead and don't worry!"
For the first time, Yang Tian truly experienced the benefits of money and power.
Although the relationship in the dormitory is pretty good on weekdays.
But in the end, that sense of alienation always exists.
And now, it’s just because of Nanyuan.
They all surrounded her enthusiastically, with envy glint in their eyes.
This satisfied her vanity to a great extent.
