Chapter 762: Reopening the Account Books To Save Your Life
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
After listening to Pei Li’s narration, Pei Meimei did not recover from her shock for a long time. However, there was no doubt that her focus had been on Qian Dong’s side for a long time.
She had been together with Qian Dong for so long, and Qian Dong did not know anything at all. If Qian Dong knew about the account books, he would have taken them to make a fortune a long time ago. How could the two of them be so poor?
Therefore, Pei Li said it so bluntly, but Pei Meimei felt that this big brother really made her feel more and more unfamiliar.
“Big Brother, Qian Dong doesn’t know anything about Uncle. Don’t forget, when Uncle was arrested, Qian Dong was still studying. Moreover, Aunt has been in the sanatorium for so many years, but Uncle still hasn’t returned. He doesn’t care about the mother and son. If Qian Dong really had that ledger,
how could he still be so miserable?”
Pei Meimei felt that she had made herself very clear, but she had underestimated Pei Li’s intentions. She only heard Pei Li continue:
“Even if Qian Dong doesn’t know, Qian Weiming might not have left something for the mother and son before he left. What if those things are still there?
“Meimei, you have to know that as long as you get that ledger, Big Brother will not only be able to make a comeback, you will also be able to marry into a good family.”
“Big Brother, why can’t you understand? Qian Dong really doesn’t have those things. If you don’t believe me, you can go look for him. Really, I won’t lie to you. I can promise you this.”
“You promise? How can you promise?”
Pei Li suddenly seemed to understand what Pei Meimei meant. He looked at her in disbelief.
Pei Meimei was a little embarrassed at first, but she knew that if she didn’t say it out loud, Pei Li would really not stop.
She carefully placed her hand on her abdomen. That maternal instinct came from within, causing Pei Li’s eyes to widen. How was this possible? How was this possible?
“Meimei, you?”
“Yes, Big Brother. I’m pregnant with Qian Dong’s child. We’re also getting married, so I know very well whether he has those things or not.”
“The two of us lived very bland lives. We don’t have any great wealth, but we feel really at ease like this. If Big Brother still doesn’t believe us, we can go to Qian Dong’s house to look for him. Ever since the incident, no one has stayed there. I heard from Qian Dong that the things inside haven’t been
touched, but Big Brother, Qian Dong and Aunt really don’t have anything on them.”
“That’s all I have to say. Whether Big Brother believes me or not, it’s none of my business. But thank you for your good intentions, Big Brother. I won’t marry anyone from the Jiang family. I’ll marry Qian Dong. He’s the one I rely on.”
Seeing Pei Meimei turn around and leave after she finished speaking, Pei Li’s expression was extremely ugly. Even his sister had betrayed him. He wouldn’t believe that Qian Dong really didn’t have a ledger. Since he had chosen a path of wealth for her and she didn’t want to take it… If he had to take the
muddy path, then the one to be blamed was the one who had ignored her older brother.
Pei Li clenched his fists tightly. He knew some things about the ledger in Qian Weiming’s hands. Back then, he was Pei Dongguo’s favorite grandson. Pei Dongguo would reveal a lot of things to him.
He was even more clear about whether the ledger in Qian Weiming’s hands was used. As long as he found this ledger, he believed that he would be able to bring down many officials. Needless to say, he would definitely be able to rise up again. He would also be able to establish a good relationship with the
Jiang family.
Therefore, he had to find the ledger, no matter what price he had to pay.
“Han Jia, listen to my advice. Don’t be so stubborn. As long as you hand over the Suoyin flower, you can regain your freedom and start all over again. Xiaoxiao will not make things difficult for you.”
“Xiaoxiao, Xiaoxiao, who is your biological daughter? You only know Shen Xiaoxiao. Don’t forget that I am in this state because of Shen Xiaoxiao.”
“If she didn’t want to go against me and Grandma, we would have been reunited a long time ago. Do you need to be a lobbyist?”
Han Jia was actually very excited to see Third Uncle. Initially, Third Uncle’s arrival gave her a glimmer of hope, but she didn’t expect him to ask her to hand over the Suoyin flower without saying anything.
Did he not know that the Suoyin flower was something that she and Grandma could use to save their lives? If she really gave it to Shen Xiaoxiao, would she let them go? It was simply a dream.
Her father was just like what Grandma had said. He only cared about the Shen family and only Shen Xiaoxiao. He didn’t care about her at all.
Now, he actually asked her to hand over the life-saving item for the sake of Shen Xiaoxiao’s Suoyin Flower Tears. How was that possible? It was simply a dream.
Seeing how stubborn Han Jia was, Shen Congwen was so anxious that he didn’t know what to do. He could only say it over and over again:
“Xiaoxiao is not a narrow-minded person. Moreover, Old Master Shen and her father are not dead, so Xiaoxiao won’t kill you. However, you must hand over the Suoyin flower. Han Jia, listen to your father’s advice. You are only in your twenties now. Good times are waiting for you. When we go out, we can
go abroad and start a new life in other places.”
“You can go back to school, start a new life, get a boyfriend, get married, have children, and live a normal life. You don’t have to do this for the old lady.”
“Alright, stop talking. If I don’t do this for Grandma, can you? Grandma said that as long as she fulfilled her wish, everything behind her would be mine. Power, wealth, including the Shen family funds, all of these would be inherited by me in the future.”
“Why do I need to start a new life? My current life is what I want.”
“Let me tell you, I will never hand over the Suoyin flower, not even if I die. Hmph, isn’t Shen Xiaoxiao so powerful? Wasn’t she still hit by the Suoyin Flower Tears?”
“As long as I have the Suoyin flower in my hands, Shen Xiaoxiao will never dare to touch me in the slightest. Why should I be afraid of her?”
Han Jia was telling the truth, but Shen Congwen couldn’t help but interrupt her:
“Yes, you do have a bargaining chip, but what about Ouyang Jue? Don’t forget that your grandmother’s goal was Ouyang Jue from the beginning to the end. If you’re imprisoned here, will anything happen to Ouyang Jue?”
“The Suoyin Flower Tears on his body has affected him for 50 years. How much longer can it drag on?”
“You haven’t shown up for so long. How do you know who will treat him?”
“Han Jia, people die for money and birds die for food. Once those people know that you’re captured, how can they continue to let Ouyang Jue maintain his life?”
“If Ouyang Jue dies, your grandmother won’t be able to live at all. Then, what’s the point of pursuing all these years?”
“You only thought that Xiaoxiao wanted the Suoyin flower, and that is indeed a part of the reason. However, Xiaoxiao and the Dark Empire are more powerful than the heavens themselves. It’s not difficult for her not to want to remove the Suoyin Flower Tears. It’s just a matter of time.”
“Think about it. Ouyang Jue could live for 50 years with the help of technology. What about Xiaoxiao? The technology is getting more and more advanced. Is she not even as good as Ouyang Jue?”
Shen Congwen’s words hit Han Jia’s heart bit by bit. He was right. If Ouyang Jue died, everything would have been for nothing.
“Grandpa, yes. Grandpa can’t die. He can’t die.”
Shen Congwen saw that Han Jia was relaxed and immediately asked, “Where is Ouyang Jue?”
“Tell Dad, where is Ouyang Jue? Dad will help you stabilize Ouyang Jue. Otherwise, you and your grandma will never see the light of day again.”
“Grandpa is here, he is….”
