Country M.

In a private villa, Meng Tingwan sat upright on the sofa. When she saw a tall man walking towards her from a distance, she quickly stood up.

“Mr. Mike”

The man is very well-preserved; you can't tell he's over sixty at all.

"Miss Meng, please have a seat."

Mike was holding a very exquisite box, which was engraved with intricate patterns and looked quite old.

Meng Tingwan then sat down again, her fingers intertwined.

"This is what you wanted."

Mike handed over the box, saying, "I thought I wouldn't have to wait for anyone to come and pick it up, but I didn't expect you to come."

Meng Tingwan took it with both hands and carefully opened it. Inside, she saw a ring that looked very similar to her necklace. It had a small cross on it and a circle of diamonds around it. It was very delicate.

She put the box down, took off the necklace from her neck, and placed it together with the ring.

Mike, who was standing nearby, noticed the necklace and moved closer. "No wonder you came looking for it; it's with you."

Meng Tingwan smiled and looked up at Mike. "Mr. Mike, are those two a pair?"

"Yes, this necklace was my favorite piece at the time. It was sold a long time ago. When I met the person who bought it again, he said he wanted me to make a ring for his wife. Because the cross represents God in the West, he hoped it could bless his wife with peace throughout her life."

Mike paused for a moment, "But all these years, I never got to see him, but I did get to see you."

Meng Tingwan could imagine that Grandpa Cheng was eagerly waiting for the ring to be made so that he could give it to his beloved.

But that accident meant he would never be able to get the ring back.

“Mr. Mike, thank you for keeping it all these years.”

"You're welcome." Mr. Mike noticed that the girl was very happy, so he asked, "May I ask, what is your relationship to him?"

The only people who knew about the existence of this ring were his family.

Meng Tingwan carefully put the ring away and smiled as she said to him, "I am his granddaughter."

Mike understood and nodded. "Miss Meng, how is your grandfather?"

“He… passed away.” Meng Tingwan lowered her head, her fingers stroking the necklace. “But I want to fulfill his wish and give this to my grandmother.”

Mike frowned, genuinely surprised by the outcome. "I'm sorry."

After he finished speaking, he gestured up, down, left, and right, then clasped his hands together and muttered, "God bless, Amen."

Meng Tingwan understood what he was doing and said, "It's okay."

Then, she put the ring in her bag and prepared to leave.

Knowing she was leaving, Mike said something abrupt, "Miss Meng, it can protect you, do you believe it?"

Meng Tingwan touched the necklace around her neck and smiled, "I believe you."

"Okay, then please continue to believe."

On the way back to the hotel, Meng Tingwan was still thinking about what Mike had said earlier.

She was in low spirits and sat in the back with her head down the whole time.

Cen Yi saw her in the rearview mirror and felt a little worried.

So many things have happened in China these past two days, and the constant stream of trending topics hasn't subsided yet.

Cen Yi assumed she was troubled by these things, so he asked, "Miss Meng, are we going back to China?"

Meng Tingwan heard his words and softly hummed in agreement. "Go back and book the earliest available flight."

"it is good."

Cen Yi responded.

The car pulled up in front of the hotel, and Meng Tingwan picked up her bag, opened the car door, and got out.

As soon as her feet touched the ground, she felt dizzy, followed by a deafening roar that filled her mind, and her bag fell to the ground.

Meng Tingwan clutched her head in anguish, the veins on her forehead bulging.

She could even feel blood flowing from her nose again, a lot, a lot.

Cen Yi saw her movements in the rearview mirror, immediately got out of the car, walked around to her side from behind, and asked with concern, "Miss Meng, what's wrong?"

Meng Tingwan's mind was filled with that shrill voice, and she couldn't hear what Cen Yi was saying at all.

"pain."

She was trembling all over, and blood was flowing more and more from her nose, staining her entire chin and neck red.

Cen Yi was terrified and pulled out her phone to dial an ambulance.

Meng Tingwan was in so much pain that she almost fainted.

Clinging to her last shred of reason, she gripped Cen Yi's wrist tightly, "No, don't tell anyone, please."

After saying that, she completely fainted.

-

At the hospital, the doctor finished examining Meng Tingwan and stopped her nosebleed.

Cen Yi was also covered in the stain. When he saw the doctor come out, he immediately went over and asked, "What happened to her?"

Faced with his question, the doctor was also puzzled. "I'm sorry, we didn't find anything wrong with the patient. All the indicators are normal."

Cen Yi was astonished. "Normal? Are you sure?"

"Yes."

"Then why did she bleed so much and faint?" Cen Yi asked, his voice trembling with emotion.

Even a normal person wouldn't faint from a nosebleed, especially one with such a large amount of blood.

The doctor understood his feelings, but at present, nothing could be found in the examination. "Sir, please don't worry. The patient needs to stay in the hospital for observation for two more days. We will conduct further examinations on her during these two days."

Seeing this, Cen Yi didn't say anything more, just said, "Thank you."

After the doctor left, he pushed open the door to the ward and looked at the person on the bed. He suppressed the urge to make a phone call several times.

He heard what Meng Tingwan said before she fainted.

So in the end, he still didn't tell anyone.

-

Yuezhou, Cheng's Group.

Cheng Yan sat in the main seat of the conference room, his face ashen.

Those sitting below are the major shareholders of the Cheng family.

They looked at Cheng Yan with disdain.

One of the shareholders exchanged a glance with the person opposite him, who immediately understood and said, "Second Young Master, what are you trying to do? Why have you gathered us all here without saying anything?"

"Yes, that's right."

Many people echoed this sentiment.

"Now, because of the trending topic, the group's stock has dropped significantly, and President Cheng hasn't offered any explanation or solutions."

Cheng Yan exhaled and looked at the man. "What law are you talking about? What's there to say?"

"What kind of attitude is this? Are you just going to let things continue like this?" someone said with great dissatisfaction.

“That’s right, it has to be resolved. The group doesn’t just belong to your Cheng family anymore. We’ve all worked our way up with Old Master Cheng, and we can’t just stand by and watch it be ruined by you younger generation.”

"Yes, if it can't be solved, then find someone else who can."

"I've seen President Cheng gone on a business trip for so many days without any news. Could it be that the Second Young Master is going to handle this?"

Cheng Yan scoffed, "So what if it's me?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the people below started laughing. "Second Young Master, don't make things worse. Even if you've never worked at the company, with your empty head, you're not qualified to handle such a big problem."

"Don't you dare spout nonsense!" Cheng Yan cursed. "If I'm not qualified, are you? Don't forget, the company belongs to the Cheng family, not the Wu family."

Director Wu's face immediately fell after being scolded.

He already disliked Cheng Yan, and now, provoked by his words, he didn't care about anything else. "Cheng Yan, who do you think you are? Everyone in Yuezhou knows you're a spoiled brat who only knows how to indulge in debauchery and has your family pay off a mountain of debt. Your reputation is utterly tarnished. What right do you have to put on airs in front of me?"

"How many days have you worked at this company? What contributions have you made to the company? And you have the audacity to say you can solve the current problems? Where do you get your confidence? You're just a good-for-nothing who relies on the Cheng family!"
