Chapter 773: Chapter 773: I Can’t Believe I’m Still Inferior to a Street Urchin

At the Mei Family, a discordant family meeting was taking place.

To be precise, it was a heated argument.

"I’ve told you, the Chens are unreliable, but you didn’t listen and insisted on partnering with him. Now what? All our money has gone down the drain!" roared old Mr. Mei, who had invested the most.

He hadn’t made a single penny, but rather had lost everything. He was the most irate.

"What’s the point of saying this now? Initially, we collaborated well with Chen He but insisted on kicking him out. Now he is retaliating against us, what should we do?"

Mr. Mei’s second uncle’s brow furrowed so deeply that it looked as if it could trap a fly.

"Now we must quickly find elder auntie. Once she returns, she can press down on cousin Huang, and make him help us solve our dry ice rink problem with just a single sentence."

"Will elder auntie dare to return now? She has run off. Mei Rui’s dad still wants to find her for an explanation. Influenced by her misfortune, Mei Rui has been searching for death."

Aunt Fan, referred to as ’elder auntie’ in their discussion, had run away because she had tried to match-make Mei Rui with Fan Huang and even drugged Fan Huang.

Unexpectedly, the partners she found, Golden Head and Silver Head, were too lame. After being exposed by the couple, Suizi, they drugged Mei Rui and took advantage of her.

The tricky part was that Golden Head and Silver Head were relatives from aunt Fan’s stepmother’s side. Mei Rui was a distant relative from her mother’s side. They were all relatives but without blood ties, yet it was family business all the same. The reputation of the family was at stake, and both sides did not wish to involve the police, so they could only settle it privately.

As a result, Mei Rui suffered silently. Therefore, her parents who were in search of death each day wanted to find Aunt Fan for answers, but Aunt Fan did not dare to return.

If she doesn’t return, the Mei Family’s predicament cannot be resolved.

"We went to find Yu Jingting today and before we could say a few words, he drove us away. It is clear he no longer wants to deal with us. If we continue dragging this on, we will be ruined. Commercial workers are also after us for fines."

Thinking of their current predicament, everyone began cursing. The situation escalated into a shouting match, and they nearly got into a fight.

"Big brother! I just heard a piece of big news at the park!" A man in his thirties ran in, panting.

"Old Six, where have you been while we are discussing serious matters?" questioned Uncle Mei.

"I was sitting in the park and came across Yu Jingting and his wife. Guess what I heard?" Mei Lao Liu eagerly announced his big discovery.

"Chen Hansui has now lost her memory and she can’t remember anything! I heard it myself!"

"What does her loss of memory have to do with us now being on the brink of bankruptcy?"

"How can it not be related? Have you never wondered why the Yu Family has gotten rich? It’s all because of Chen Hansui. Whoever Chen Hansui favors, her dad will help."

His words brought silence to the room.

They hardly had any chances of interacting with Yu Jingting, however, they knew the Yu Family had developed considerably over these years.

The only information they had about Yu Jingting came from Aunt Fan. After being discriminated against by Yu Jingting, she naturally could not provide an objective evaluation of his abilities.

In front of her own family members, she portrayed Yu Jingting as a freeloader who climbed up the ranks with Fan Huang’s help, showing him as a petty ruffian.

If the Mei family had any contact with Yu Jingting, they would find out that he never relied on his father-in-law’s network. Everything he had achieved, he achieved on his own. Unfortunately, they never did, and harbored strong prejudice against Jingting.

"Chen Hansui now has no memory. If we send a young and handsome man to approach her, win her favor, and instigate her to divorce Yu Jingting, then even if Fan Huang doesn’t want to, he won’t be able to ignore us?"

Old Six had been thinking about it all the way and felt that using a handsome man to get close to her was a perfect plan.

"But aren’t we also related to Chen Hansui by blood? Although our boys are handsome, they are ultimately unsuitable."

The Mei family was fairly confident, speaking as if they were the ones Hansui would certainly fall in love with, if they made a move.

"It doesn’t necessarily have to be a boy from our family. Big brother, doesn’t your wife have a nephew who just returned from studying abroad?"

This proposal immediately received a chorus of approval.

In everyone’s eyes, those who returned from studying abroad were indeed extraordinary. Compared to Yu Jingting, the parasite, they felt that a forgetful Hansui would certainly fall for the "pride of heaven" who returned from studying abroad.

After all, it was said that a monk from afar would chant sutras better, isn’t it?"

"Let’s find an opportunity for them to meet. I will find the boy now."

"Don’t rush. If you directly arrange for them to meet and want him to pursue Hansui, it would definitely be too late. We have to think of another way."

"Who has time to think of all that? Our dry ice rink is still waiting to pay a fine. In at most two weeks, we would have to close it down!"

"We don’t even need two weeks. If the boy performs normally, he could get Hansui to be with him within a week."

Everyone in the room stared at Old Six.

"How can you be so confident?"

Old Six oozed with confidence as he ran his hands through his hair: "My wife loves reading romances from Bao Island province, and I have read many of them too. Girls love romance. As long as it’s a bit romantic, you can win any woman. Reading those novels will help you understand. Women, being love-crazy creatures, lose all sense of reason when it comes to love."

The boy they chose was a perfect replica of a character straight out of a romance novel. Whatever the male protagonist was supposed to do according to the novel, like enduring wind and rain or standing in the sun, he could do it all.

He certainly didn’t believe he couldn’t win over a rural street urchin.

...

"Time to eat~" Wang Cuihua yelled, carrying the aromatic dishes out of the kitchen.

"Eat more, Suizi, you’re too thin," Wang Cuihua urged while serving Suizi with dishes.

Even though Suizi could not remember the years she spent with her mother-in-law, she could feel Wang Cuihua’s kindness. She returned the smile to Wang Cuihua and started eating naturally.

"Eat quickly. After we finish, I have something to discuss with you. My maternal aunt has a daughter who is going to take the technical secondary school entrance exam this year and is unsure about which major to choose. You could give her some advice."

Most of Wang Cuihua’s relatives had been offended, except one whom she had a reasonable relationship with. Whenever she had a problem, she liked consulting Suizi for a solution, always thinking of Suizi during times of trouble.

Suizi looked at Yu Jingting, who hurriedly eased the situation.

"How can we advise her about that? Let her choose what she likes. If we advise her and she fails to make any effort, all the blame will fall on us."

"That’s true, but it is not good for us to avoid helping when we are asked by relatives. They would just get offended. After dinner, just list the pros and cons of every major for me, then we can let her make her own decision."

"Let’s talk about it another day. I have to go out with my wife tonight."
