Step by step
==================
“Oh my God!”
Wu Jianwei quickly took out a tissue from her bag and tried to soak up the red wine that had spilled onto half the bed. Obviously, this was impossible.
The silver-gray silk quilt was soaked with wine-red liquid, and the bed looked like a murder had occurred there.
"Mr. Meng, I'm sorry, I thought this was a meeting room." Wu Jianwei wanted to dive into the crevice of the rock.
Meng Yanxiu's expression remained calm. Seeing her nervousness, he was a little puzzled: "I told you to go to the end room on the third floor. Why are you here?"
"It's in the middle." There are three rooms on the left side of this floor, and Kirimi Wei couldn't have counted them wrong.
Meng Yanxiu understood: "I meant the end point, not the middle point."
"..." Wu Jianwei looked at him straight and couldn't help complaining, "You are so frugal. I'm not Lin Jue, how can I guess what you are thinking?"
Meng Yanxiu nodded: "I will explain it clearly next time."
"Oh." Kirimi was stunned for a moment.
Meng Yanxiu glanced at the bed and said to her, "Let's go. Don't worry about it."
"How can that be? Whose room is this?"
Wu Jianwei looked like she was waiting for punishment: "I'll pay."
"You want to compensate?" Meng Yanxiu paused, "This is..."
"Ah, I see." Kirimi observed the decoration of the room, "This is your grandfather's room, right?"
Meng Yanxiu sneered: "And then?"
"That's it. Now let's remedy it. I'll go find some laundry detergent and white vinegar. You should have them at home, right?" Wu Jianwei did what she said and actually met a cleaning lady in the corridor. She asked her for laundry detergent, white vinegar, a towel and a basin.
The aunt asked her what she was doing with it. Of course, she didn't dare to say that she had soiled someone else's bed. She just said that her skirt was dirty and politely declined the aunt's help.
After getting all the tools, she immediately wet the towel and carefully wiped the quilt.
"Can you still sleep after wiping like this?"
Meng Yanxiu stood aside, puzzled by her actions.
"I'll compensate you, but I'd better wipe it off first. At least I'm making amends, so it won't seem so infuriating. What do you think?"
Kirimi squatted beside the bed and wiped it carefully.
Meng Yanxiu: "Are you not going to talk about business anymore?"
"Yeah, then..." Wu Jianwei's brain seemed to be spinning, "Mr. Meng, can you wait for me for five minutes?"
"Do you have to finish wiping it?" Meng Yanxiu took a step forward.
"Soon, if your grandfather finds out that your secretary soiled his bed, it will be bad for you."
Wu Jianwei thought of Meng Yanxiu's situation in this family, and he should not be very favored.
Meng Yanxiu shook his head helplessly, then took another step forward, picked up another towel, and began wiping from the end. As he wiped, he said, "There's no change at all."
"You don't have to help me, I can do it myself." Kirimi looked at him in a daze.
He said it was useless, but his hands did not stop.
Kirimi lowered his head slightly and wiped faster, and the two of them somehow finished wiping the quilt stained with red wine.
The originally silver-gray fabric has now turned into charcoal gray.
"Mr. Meng, who should I compensate you for? Can I pay you?"
Wu Jianwei was thinking that it would not be necessary to ask a young secretary like her to confess in front of Meng Zhu. She would admit to paying the money, but she would avoid being scolded if possible. She really didn't want to be scolded.
"How do I compensate?"
Meng Yanxiu sat down on the sofa, folded the towel and put it back in the basin.
"You name a price." Wu Jianwei inexplicably believed him. He would not cheat his employees, would he?
Meng Yanxiu stood up and said, "I'll wait for you in the living room next door."
"Oh." Wu Jianwei went out to find the cleaning lady and returned the things to her, and then went to the living room.
Wu Jianwei was still uneasy, and asked him as soon as she entered: "Should I go and apologize first?"
Meng Yanxiu: "No need."
"You still have to take it." Wu Jianwei said again.
Meng Yanxiu: "That's my room."
"Ah..." Kirito reacted quickly, his eyes rolling, "Mr. Meng, your room is decorated with great taste."
"Really?" Meng Yanxiu didn't believe it at all. He patted the sofa twice and asked her to sit down.
She still kept her distance and did not sit over, but sat on the single sofa next to Meng Yanxiu.
Meng Yanxiu had no choice but to turn sideways and look at her: "Let's get back to the topic. You and I will attend the Meng family meeting tomorrow night. Everyone in my family has unique personalities, so you don't need to say anything then, just listen."
"Well, what is the topic of the meeting?" Kirimi Wei was recording on her mobile phone.
Meng Yanxiu said calmly, "Divide the property."
"Divide the property." Wu Jianwei wrote down these three words and suddenly raised his head. "What? Your family is dividing the property, why should I join in the fun? This is not official business at all."
Meng Yanxiu stood up and walked towards her. He put his hand over her shoulder, supported the back of the chair, and asked softly, "Don't you want to go?"
"Of course I don't want to go. Who would want to participate in such a bloody verbal battle..."
Wu Jianwei looked at him in confusion. The drama of fighting for the family property ended up with a fight, and she didn't want to get involved. Besides, why was he so close again...
"Everyone who attends the meeting will get a share." Meng Yanxiu said seriously, "Don't you want to get some too?"
His tone wasn't joking. Wu Jianwei hesitated for a moment and said, "Can I call Jiang Jiang over too?"
"Wu Jianwei." Meng Yanxiu chuckled softly, "It's a legal division of the family property, not a pyramid scheme."
Wu Jianwei suddenly deflated: "Oh, I still don't understand, what should I do?"
Meng Yanxiu's tone turned serious: "Cooperate with me and get more property."
"Me?" Kirimi's eyes were filled with surprise. "How can I cooperate?"
Meng Yanxiu leaned down, the scent of ebony rose lingering around his nose. He tightened his arms and moved closer to her.
Kirimi unconsciously tilted her head back, rubbing her skirt with her fingertips, her eyes wandering.
"Look at me." Meng Yanxiu's voice was cold, and his deep eyes were filled with unquestionable determination.
At this moment, they were so close that they could see each other's figures in each other's eyes.
Kirimimi met his gaze and pursed her lips.
Meng Yanxiu lowered his head slightly, almost touching the corner of her mouth. When they were so close, he raised the corners of his eyes, then pulled a little further away and spoke in a deep voice.
"Do you want to date me?"
Fall in love, these three words suddenly drilled into her ears, Kirimie's shoulders trembled, she felt like she was sinking into the deep sea and lost consciousness. She knew she was drowning, she clenched her thighs with her hands, but could not call for help.
"Did it scare you?"
Seeing that she hadn't responded for a long time, Meng Yanxiu slowed down his voice and asked again, "Do you want to talk?"
Meng Yanxiu seemed to be talking to the air, and she didn't respond at all.
She just held up her bright eyes and stared straight at Meng Yanxiu's face, from her brow bone to her eyelashes, from her eyes to her nose bridge, from the tip of her nose to her lips, examining it inch by inch.
Meng Yanxiu blinked slowly and asked her softly, "What are you looking at?"
Wu Jianwei spoke at this time. She didn't pay attention to how much time had passed. She was just concentrating on finding something: "Flaw."
"A flaw?" Meng Yanxiu frowned. "Have you found one?"
Kirimi lowered his eyes slightly, leaned back on the sofa, and let his shoulders relax.
She didn't know whether to feel regret or relief that she didn't see any flaws on Meng Yanxiu's face. His words seemed serious, even if it was for a purpose.
"What does this have to do with the family fortune?"
Wu Jianwei suddenly became calm and no longer panicked.
"My grandfather values family inheritance very much. I want him to believe that I am determined to start a family, otherwise he won't hand over the inheritance rights to me." Meng Yanxiu paused, "So..."
Before he could finish his words, Wu Jianwei interrupted him: "So you want to use me."
"No." Meng Yanxiu's eyes darkened suddenly, "So I want you to be my girlfriend."
Kirimi sneered softly, "Isn't this exploitation? Am I that stupid? Your goal is to get the family property."
"There's no conflict between the two. What you and I need is a reason to get started."
Meng Yanxiu seemed to be able to see through the concerns in her heart and continued, "This is the excuse I found. I want to have a real relationship with you and also get the family property."
After saying that, he took out the contract he had prepared long ago and said, "Just ask for what you want."
Wu Jianwei only glanced at him and said, "You want to support me?"
Meng Yanxiu's eyes suddenly turned cold. He thought Wu Jianwei would be shocked, hesitant, and retreat, but he didn't expect that she would actually associate it with keeping a mistress.
"If I were to support someone, wouldn't I choose someone who is absolutely ideologically obedient? Then I definitely wouldn't choose you."
Wu Jianwei nodded in sudden realization: "So you're not just supporting one person, you're also supporting other more obedient people, and you want me to become obedient."
"Wigemi, I'm giving you an example."
Meng Yanxiu unbuttoned his dress, a surge of anger rising in his chest. He was so angry that he said, "I'm supporting other people? I'm not supporting anyone!"
"You asked me to make a request, asked me to date you, isn't that just keeping you? I don't accept it."
After saying that, Wu Jian sneered. Why should he be angry? He was still holding back his anger.
"Wu Jianwei." Meng Yanxiu said in a low voice, "Wake up. I want to date you. I mean it. I want you to share my property, and this money is what you deserve. You can have both. What's wrong with that?"
Kirimi Wei gave a perfunctory "Oh", her distrust evident in her tone.
"I can't possibly support you." Meng Yanxiu's eyes narrowed. "Who do you think I am? You..."
His next words were stuck in his throat when the door of the living room behind him was suddenly pushed open with a bang.
"It's you, little devil!"
A series of curses poured down like rain, heading straight for Wu Jianwei.
"You are so shameless!" Huang Rui widened her eyes and rushed forward to pounce on her.
Wu Jianwei couldn't bear it anymore. She sat on the sofa and slapped Huang Rui's hand away with a slap. At the same time, Meng Yan's hand that was repairing her was also slapped.
"Are you addicted to catching people cheating?" Seeing this, Wu Jianwei actually wanted to laugh helplessly.
The next second, she grabbed Huang Rui's wrist, which she had extended again, and cursed, "Do you have a brain? Do you think I'd like him?"
"You've come to his house!" Huang Rui shook her hands vigorously, trying to pull Wu Jianwei up from the sofa.
Wu Jianwei was not as strong as her and was too lazy to pay attention to her. Suddenly, she let go of her hand, lost her balance and fell to the ground.
The fall made her even more angry. She gritted her teeth and propped herself up, raising her hand to slap Kirimi.
"Where did this madman come from!" Meng Yanxiu blocked Wu Jianwei's way, slammed his fist on the table, and yelled at Huang Rui, "Get out!"
This roar frightened Wu Jianwei so much that her hands trembled. She almost forgot that Meng Yanxiu didn't seem to be a good-tempered person. It was the first time she saw him really angry that she realized that he usually endured a lot of anger.
Huang Rui, however, also had a fiery temper. She immediately pointed at Meng Yanxiu and said, "Who are you? You're really trying to double-team by protecting this little devil!"
Meng Yanxiu's already gloomy face was now covered with even darker clouds.
The air was filled with a sharpness that was almost cutting. He warned Huang Rui word by word, "Don't leave."
Then he called security and footsteps came in droves.
He took off his coat, threw it aside, and coldly informed the security officer: "Call the police and preserve the chain of evidence. I'm going to sue her for trespassing, defamation, insult, and provoking trouble."
"Understood!" The security chief immediately agreed and sent people to surround Huang Rui in a corner to prevent her from continuing to cause trouble. At the same time, he contacted a lawyer to sue her.
Huang Rui raised one eyebrow in surprise, jumped up and down, and shouted angrily, "Who are you trying to scare? Do you even know who I am?"
"I don't care who you are, I will never reconcile." Meng Yanxiu said in a cruel tone.
He stood in front of Wu Jianwei with his hands clenched into fists. He didn't turn around until Wu Jianwei squeezed his wrist.
"Are you okay?" He slowed down his tone again, and he was completely two different people the second before and the next.
Kirijian withdrew his hand slightly, stared at his bleeding knuckles, and shook his head: "She is your sister-in-law."
"What does it have to do with me?" Meng Yanxiu frowned. "Don't tell me you won't pursue it. Even if you're soft-hearted, I won't let it go."
Huang Rui didn't get a response and continued shouting in the corner. Suddenly, a familiar voice came from outside the door.
"Wife!"
Meng Yuetong rushed in, pushed aside the security guards, and grabbed Huang Rui: "Why are you here?"
Huang Rui hit Meng Yuetong hard when she saw him: "I was wondering why you hid it from me and didn't let me come to your house, just to get her to come, right?"
While being beaten, Meng Yuetong dragged Huang Rui out, locked her outside the door, and immediately ran to Meng Yanxiu.
"Brother, I was wrong. I really don't know why she came here. I asked her to apologize to you. We are a family, please don't make a big deal out of it..."
Meng Yanxiu didn't want to hear a word and looked at him coldly: "You get out too."
"Brother, I beg you! What should I do if you sue her? If this gets out, it will bring shame to our family."
Meng Yuetong's brows were twisted into a knot, and he kept looking at Wu Jianwei, trying to ask her to smooth things over, but Wu Jianwei didn't even look at him.
"Get out."
Meng Yanxiu said it one last time, his tone leaving no room for negotiation.
Meng Yuetong knew that Meng Yanxiu was a man of his words, and no one at home could persuade him. There was no benefit in playing the emotional card with him at this time, so it was better to go out obediently: "Brother, I'll take her away first, you calm down."
Meng Yanxiu closed his eyes. He was in a bad mood because of this sudden incident. He asked the others to go out and then locked the door. They were the only ones left in this closed space.
"Let's continue." He tried his best to suppress his coldness and spoke calmly, "Let's give each other a chance."
Wu Jianwei looked at him again. He was very good at seeing through people's hearts. He hit the nail on the head when it came to her heart. What she needed was a reason, a reason to start over.
"Why me?" Kirimi asked.
"Why not you?" Meng Yanxiu asked her back.
Kirimi lowered his eyes slightly. "You're not short of people around you, are you? A family like yours doesn't need an arranged marriage? Even if not, you still have to consider whether you're a good match, right? What am I? A female companion to satisfy your short-term emotional needs? You can find anyone, why me?"
"What are you thinking about every day? Either keeping a mistress or a female companion? Let me make it clear to you again, it's not polyamory, it's not a one-night stand, it's not a spur-of-the-moment thing."
Meng Yanxiu took a deep breath and continued with a serious expression: "Also, I'm not looking for anyone else, I'm only looking for you."
"Why?" Kirimi asked.
"You're the only one who makes my heart flutter." Meng Yanxiu looked at her with his deep eyes. "Let me be frank. The first time I saw you, I had desire for you."
Wu Jianwei stood up from the sofa: "You mean, you had lustful thoughts about me the first time you saw me?"
"Yes, I don't avoid it. The love between adults must be accompanied by desire." Meng Yanxiu admitted frankly.
The two stood facing each other, their eyes burning, and Wu Jianwei fell silent.
Meng Yanxiu immediately explained: "Don't misunderstand, this doesn't mean I'm going to do anything to you. If you yearn for a platonic relationship, we can have no physical contact. As long as you don't want to, I will definitely not force you."
"What if I am willing?" Wu Jianwei suddenly looked up at him.
