Rebirth of a Spoiled Darling: Bloodstained Lord Huo's Billion-Dollar Dowry Proposal
Chapter 44 A Mind Game! The Prey Comes to Our Door!?
"What's wrong?" Meng Wood sensed something was wrong.
Meng Shu snorted, "Second Uncle, you don't know, the Huo family's husband is in poor health and has a terrible attitude. I don't want to marry into that family..."
Before Meng Shu could finish speaking, Meng Wude interrupted him sharply.
"You bastard! That's the Huo family! Can't you just be a little more patient? What's wrong with your health? It's not like it can't be cured!"
Meng Shu's eyes reddened instantly, but a brilliant light shone in them!
Yes, she must cure Huo Qilin!
"I'm asking you, what about the bride price given by the Huo family?"
Meng Shu gave a cold laugh.
Sure enough, I knew they'd bring up the bride price.
Meng Shu shook his head, his face trembling.
"Old Master Huo seems to be dissatisfied with the Meng family and me. I wonder if it's because of the dowry issue, since he took back the bride price."
After hearing this.
Menwood's face visibly darkened.
He was clearly furious!
That old fox from the Huo family!
They must have known that I was trying to get something for nothing.
That's why she refused to give him the betrothal gifts.
Meng Shu bit her lip, looking worried. "Second Uncle, the Huo family wouldn't want to break off the marriage alliance with our Meng family, would they?"
Meng Wood's face was a mixture of pale and flushed.
His eyes flickered with fear and unease.
How can that work!
He was still hoping that 200 billion would keep the Meng family afloat!
Meng Shu kept babbling, "Second Uncle, if the Huo family isn't willing, then so be it. Anyway, I don't want to marry a sickly man. Who cares..."
"Nonsense! Marrying into the Huo family is the dream of countless people. Don't talk nonsense again!"
Meng Shu nodded obediently, tears welling in her eyes.
"When one person attains enlightenment, even their chickens and dogs ascend to heaven. I am also a member of the Meng family, and I cannot act impulsively. I should also think more about the Meng family."
Menwood nodded in satisfaction. "That's the right way to think about it."
Meng Shu frowned, revealing her inner unease.
"But the academy has already been sold. If we can't come up with the dowry, the Huo family might..."
Menwood waved his hand, "You don't need to worry about this. I'll figure something out."
Meng Shu's eyes were cold and indifferent, like the lingering snow in the dead of winter.
His calculations and his thoughts are crystal clear to me.
Monwood is destined to lose more than he gains!
It seems that the academy will soon be back in our hands.
Thinking of this, Meng Shu felt much better.
"Okay, Second Uncle, if there's nothing else, I'll go back to my room to rest."
"Go ahead, and tell your second uncle if you need anything."
"Alright, I won't stand on ceremony with my second uncle." Meng Shu smiled meaningfully and then left.
Meng Wood watched Meng Shu's departing figure.
Meng Shu is a good girl. Although she grew up in an orphanage, she has foresight and composure.
Undeniably, she far surpasses Meng Yuxuan, whom she has carefully nurtured.
Thinking of Meng Yuxuan, Meng Wude couldn't help but frown.
After Meng Shu left, Meng Wood immediately made a phone call, "I need you to investigate something right away!"

living room.
Meng Yuxuan waited for a long time.
Having heard no sound for a long time, she couldn't help but start to worry.
Why haven't they come down yet?
What exactly was Dad talking to Meng Shu about?
Strangely enough, as time went on...
Meng Yuxuan was filled with fear and unease, as if something was constantly lingering in her mind, preventing her from calming down.
Just then, Meng Shu came down from upstairs.
Looking at Meng Shu, who was unharmed and even had a smile on her face.
Meng Yuxuan stood there, stunned.
She shook her head in disbelief.
why?
Why is Meng Shu so calm?
Didn't her father give her a good scolding?
"Cousin, why aren't you resting so late? Are you waiting to see me make a fool of myself?"
Meng Shu's uniquely cold voice rang out, sending a chill down Meng Yuxuan's spine.
“Xiaoshu, what are you saying? I was worried that you would be scolded by your father. I’m relieved to see that you’re alright.”
Meng Yuxuan's lips twitched.
The next second, a polite smile appeared on his face.
Meng Shu smiled and approached her step by step.
"That would be for the best. Here's a piece of advice for my cousin: if you don't want people to know, then don't do it in the first place."
Meng Yuxuan was startled by these words.
It's like a little bird suddenly losing its perch.
Feeling lost, panicked, and uneasy.
What does Meng Shu mean by this?
Could it be that she knew I was the mastermind?
Impossible?
Only she and Zhou Piaopiao knew about this.
Could it be that Zhou Piaopiao said something?
"Xiao Shu, what do you mean by that? I don't understand." Meng Yuxuan's eyes were full of fear, but her tone was full of inquiry.
Meng Shu smiled and said, "I don't understand. I'll go ask Miss Zhou."
After speaking, he walked away.
Meng Yuxuan was already covered in cold sweat and unable to stand.
A look of fear flashed in her eyes, and her breathing became rapid.
Fear filled her with unease, as if she were in a dark abyss.
It really was Zhou Piaopiao.
Was all of this planned by Zhou Piaopiao?
Thinking of this, Meng Yuxuan was furious and rushed out with her handbag.
Meng Shu stood at the top of the stairs, coldly watching this scene.
A scene of dogs fighting each other would definitely be quite a spectacle.
Unfortunately, she wasn't there.
However, she has more important things to do next.
Three o'clock in the morning.
Meng Shu put down her copy of "Miscellaneous Talks on the Book of Changes," determined not to waste any more time in this life.
However, it was time to go to sleep.
After all, one must cultivate both inner and outer qualities.
If I don't go to sleep soon, it will be bad for my skin.
Meng Shu was lying in bed, about to rest.
Suddenly I heard something being smashed next door.
This was followed by a string of curses.
The sound is very harsh.
Upon closer listening, the sound was coming from Meng Yuxuan's room.
Meng Yuxuan has broken down.
It seems that she not only failed to get anything out of Zhou Piaopiao, but was also likely to be severely ridiculed.
Indeed, Zhou Piaopiao is superior to Meng Yuxuan in both background and cunning.
Meng Yuxuan thought she was plotting against Zhou Piaopiao to deal with her.
Little did they know that the most skilled hunters often appear as their prey.
Zhou Piaopiao had already taken control of everything, waiting for Meng Yuxuan to fall into the trap.
However, I also enjoy watching them hurt each other.
Suddenly, Meng Shu remembered something.
In her previous life, Zhou Piaopiao later married into a mysterious family.
I've heard that this family is an ancient clan with a history of over a thousand years, whose wealth and power are so great that they can control everything.
Rumor has it that even the Huo family, the richest family in China, are insignificant in their eyes.
Think of this.
Meng Shu's expression became much more serious; it seemed that Zhou Piaopiao was no ordinary person.
We need to plan ahead and make various arrangements.
The next day.
Meng Yuxuan's room.
Looking at herself in the mirror, Meng Yuxuan saw that her face was so haggard that even makeup couldn't cover it up.
Because last night, the more she thought about it, the more annoyed and angry she became, and she didn't sleep a wink.
Yesterday, she went to confront Zhou Piaopiao, but Zhou Piaopiao not only denied it, but also ridiculed her.
With no other choice, she could only slink back home.
That idiot Zhou Piaopiao, she only dares to bully her like this because she comes from a better family.
She's the kind of person who holds a grudge and seeks revenge.
One day, she will get it all back!
Unfortunately, Mom had to go out, otherwise I could have helped her make a decision.
The thought of He Minghua made Meng Yuxuan's expression complicated.
Strangely enough, in the last few days of each month, Mom would find a way to go out, and she wouldn't let me go with her.
What on earth is going on, all this is so mysterious?
She always felt that her mother was hiding something from her and her father.
However, Meng Yuxuan didn't really care.
After all, what his mother was hiding had nothing to do with him.
Even if Mom angered Dad, she was still Dad's only child.
No matter what, everything in the Meng family's land belongs to her alone!
Of course, the prerequisite is to remove the obstacle of Meng Shu!
Now is not the time to think about this.
Meng Yuxuan went downstairs while thinking about it.
Although Mom is gone, I can't stand up for her.
But she can pour out her troubles to her father.
After all, she was her father's only daughter.
Her father always doted on her the most.
Thinking of this, Meng Yuxuan felt a little better.
The next second, her smile froze on her face.
