She died tragically at her engagement banquet, and was reborn to marry the heir of the Beijing elite
Chapter 77 Stealing the Will 9
The waitress was trembling with fear and had no choice but to follow Xiao Hu to the front of the secret room.
Xiao Hu stared intently as the waitress inserted the key into the lock and entered the password with trembling hands.
With a slight mechanical turning sound, the door to the secret room slowly opened.
After tying up the waitress and dragging her into the secret room, Xiao Hu couldn't wait to start searching. Just then, he was stunned by what he saw.
The person standing in the room was none other than Shen Mengqing. Xiao Hu had seen Shen Mengqing several times.
"Who are you?" Shen Mengqing asked deliberately.
"Are you the young mistress's older sister?" Xiao Hu asked respectfully.
After receiving Shen Mengqing's affirmative reply, Xiao Hu said, "I was sent by the boss to steal the will. The young mistress stole the will to stop you from getting engaged to Liu Zifeng."
"I know where the will is! Auntie locks all the important documents in the safe in her bedroom," Shen Mengqing said excitedly when she heard that her sister was trying to help her.
"Bedroom?" Xiao Hu quickly contacted Fu Yanchen via communicator to report the situation.
At this moment, Shen Mei was already being held back by Shen Mengxia, and the two were negotiating in the front hall.
Shen Mengqing secretly led Xiao Hu to Shen Mei's bedroom, while Shen Mengxia dealt with Shen Mei.
Soon, Shen Mengqing led Xiao Hu to Shen Mei's bedroom. To avoid alerting the enemy, Xiao Hu told Shen Mengqing to go back to the secret room while he went in alone to open the safe.
“Aunt, I didn’t grow up in the Shen family, so I don’t really care about being the second young lady of the Shen family. Besides, I am now the wife of Fu Yanchen, the heir of the Beijing circle. So, I can give up my share of the inheritance, on the condition that you release my sister and my father.”
"Xia, your father isn't with me, but your sister Xiaoqing is," Shen Mei said casually.
“You’re talking so generously now, but who would turn down money these days? Even the princes of Beijing’s elite circles wouldn’t complain about having too much. You have no idea how much your grandfather left you, do you? Don’t regret it later,” Shen Mei added.
"Then tell me, how much did Grandpa leave for my sister and me? I was hunted down several times because of this will, and I almost died once," Shen Mengxia said innocently.
“This wasn’t something your aunt did. Only your eldest uncle, and even your third uncle, could do something so despicable. He’s the one who got your father away most likely; we don’t even know if he’s alive or dead.” Shen Mei clearly looked down on her older brother.
"I arranged for your sister to marry my stepson for Xiaoqing's own good. Marriage is just a matter of course for women. Don't underestimate my stepson just because he might not be the best match; his family background is definitely a good match. It's like strengthening family ties. With money, you can have any man you want. You're still young and don't understand these things. Love? What's love worth?"
Shen Mengxia listened to Shen Mei's words and found them strange, even finding them reasonable, as if they made sense.
Shen Mengxia was startled by her own thoughts and hurriedly shook her head to clear her mind as soon as possible, saying, "Auntie, you're not short of money, but have you bought love? Money can buy all kinds of men, but it can't buy true love, the heart of a man who truly loves you and cherishes you."
Meanwhile, Xiao Hu was still working with Ye Huaiting to decipher the safe's combination.
"Xiao Hu, how many times has this happened? I remember that these safes will automatically alarm if the password is wrong more than 6 times in a row," Ye Huaiting asked, grabbing Xiao Hu's arm to confirm.
