Reborn in 2014: A One-Man Tycoon

Seeing how sincere Old Master Chen was.

Liu Qian's dissatisfaction with the Shen and Chen families subtly diminished.

Older people seem to be more likely to evoke a sense of tolerance in others.

Women are often naturally inclined to be soft-hearted.

Grandpa Chen is so old, he could be her grandfather.

Such a humble admission of wrongdoing made it difficult for Liu Qian to criticize her further.

However, seeing that Meng Chuan did not speak, Liu Qian did not make any response either.

Because Liu Qian knew that Meng Chuan was her man.

At times like this, she should listen to her man.

Although Meng Chuan remained silent at this moment, he began to take Old Master Chen seriously.

This old man Chen is no ordinary person.

She speaks very skillfully.

In just a few words, he seemed to be taking the initiative to take responsibility, but in reality, he absolved himself and the Shen and Chen families of any wrongdoing.

In this way, his apology appears even more sincere.

"Meng Chuan, don't push your luck. My father has already apologized in person, and you're still acting all high and mighty. Are you deliberately trying to embarrass my father?"

Just as Meng Chuan remained silent, Chen Li couldn't help but speak up.

In Chen Li's opinion, Meng Chuan was simply ungrateful.

Given her father's status and position in Shanghai, he would be treated with respect wherever he went.

Moreover, her father is quite old.

She's already bowed her head and admitted her mistake, so why is Meng Chuan, this greenhorn, still putting on airs in front of her father?

Upon hearing Chen Li's words, the expressions of Old Master Chen and Shen An changed drastically.

Grandpa Chen unconsciously gripped his cane tighter, his knuckles turning white from the force.

He frowned slightly, a hint of annoyance flashing in his eyes. Why couldn't this silly girl understand his good intentions?

Shen An lowered his head slightly, a hint of helplessness in his eyes.

He sighed inwardly, knowing that the negotiations were likely to reach a stalemate.

Sure enough, before they could stop him, Meng Chuan spoke up:

"Oh? So you mean that as long as your father apologizes, I should forgive and forget any crime, no matter how serious, is that what you mean?"

Meng Chuan's cold gaze pierced Chen Li like a knife.

"you……"

Chen Li was about to retort.

Meng Chuan suddenly slammed his hand on the dining table and roared like thunder:

"You need to get this straight, I'm the victim here!"

The slap sent the tableware tumbling and falling over.

The sudden angry shout startled everyone present.

Even Liu Qian, who was standing next to Meng Chuan, couldn't help but shudder.

“Your son tried to break my leg, but I didn’t hurt him at all. I wasn’t the one who arrested him; he broke the law.”

Meng Chuan's words are all gems:

"You are the ones who begged me not to appeal, not to pursue the matter, and to write the letter of understanding."

“I agreed, and I even wrote you a letter of understanding, but not only did you break your promise, you also sabotaged me behind my back.”

"Now that your crimes have been exposed, it's because your behavior was so disgusting that Jiang Chun was forced to commit suicide to prove his innocence and expose you."

“I’m asking you this: out of all these things, in every single one of them, was I, Meng Chuan, wrong? In which instance did I, Meng Chuan, provoke you?”

Faced with Meng Chuan's probing question, Chen Li opened her mouth, but couldn't find the words to refute it.

In fact, she was indeed in charge of the entire incident, from beginning to end.

Although Meng Chuan was also scheming against them, he was meticulous in his actions.

At least on the surface, no one could find fault with Meng Chuan.

The reason why Chen Li hates Meng Chuan so much.

The root cause is that she has been accustomed to a life of luxury since childhood.

No one ever dared to disobey her wishes, which made her feel extremely superior.

In addition, she excessively doted on her son.

She always felt that even if her son made mistakes, they were all minor and harmless.

Everyone in the world should be like her and take the initiative to forgive their son.

But with Meng Chuan, she couldn't get the slightest compromise.

They also no longer feel the sense of superiority they used to have.

This was something she could not accept in any way.

The negotiations had reached a complete stalemate.

At this moment, Old Master Chen hesitated for a moment, just about to speak:

"Brother Meng..."

"answer me!"

Meng Chuan did not give Old Master Chen a chance to continue.

He stood up abruptly, exuding an air of superiority, and continued to question Chen Li:

"I, Meng Chuan, have done something to wrong you?"

At this moment, faced with Meng Chuan's fierce aura, not to mention Chen Li, even Shen An and even Old Master Chen were speechless for a moment.

Even though they all knew that Meng Chuan's calculations were involved in everything.

But they couldn't produce any evidence.

Moreover, Meng Chuan's calculations were based on Chen Li and her group's aggressive pressure.

Even the old man Chen, who had seen countless people, couldn't help but show a look of shock when he looked at Meng Chuan.

He secretly marveled:

This young man is quite remarkable!

At this moment, Chen Li's face was somewhat pale.

Several times I tried to speak, but I only opened my mouth and couldn't say anything in the end.

"Can't answer that?"

A cold smile curled at the corner of Meng Chuan's lips:

"If you can't answer, then please don't act like a victim and boss me around."

"If you can't answer, then please don't give me orders with that self-righteous attitude and tone."

"Although I, Meng Chuan, am not from one of your wealthy and noble families, I am not someone that can be manipulated at will by ordinary so-called high-ranking nobles."

Meng Chuan paused, his gaze sharp.

After scanning everyone present, he continued:

"Although I, Meng Chuan, am only eighteen years old, that is no reason for you to look down on me."

"On the contrary, I am young, and you should have even more respect for me."

"Because there is an old saying: Never underestimate a young man's potential."

"Being young means having unlimited possibilities."

Every word Meng Chuan uttered was a wake-up call.

Before meeting Meng Chuan today, neither Grandpa Chen nor Shen An, who had met Meng Chuan once before, actually paid much attention to Meng Chuan.

If two other people said these words, they would all scoff at them.

Because in their eyes, the so-called wealthy families are something that ordinary people can hardly reach.

True powerhouses are not easily established or shaken in just one or two generations.

However, after listening to Meng Chuan's series of soul-searching questions today, I felt the sharp and assertive aura emanating from Meng Chuan.

A sense of unease welled up within them.

That wasn't the air of someone in a high position, nor the refined air of someone who has lived a life of luxury.

Rather, it is an extreme confidence, a kind of aura that naturally arises from within after truly strategizing and planning.

In the words of the novel, which are often vague and ethereal, it is called luck.

Both Old Master Chen and Shen An sensed an unstoppable aura emanating from Meng Chuan.

They had a vague feeling that as long as Meng Chuan didn't die young, his future might truly be limitless.

Just then, Chen Zhendong, who was standing to the side, finally couldn't hold back anymore.

Being so angrily confronted by such a little kid has put them in a very awkward position.

He had to speak out for his family and for his grandfather.

Therefore, he said to Meng Chuan with a cold smile:

"Meng Chuan, you're too naive. 'Never underestimate a young man's potential'—that's just nonsense from books, used to fool ordinary people like you. You really believe it..."

However, Old Master Chen didn't let him finish speaking, and loudly rebuked him:

"You beast, aren't you ashamed enough?"

Chen Zhendong froze upon hearing this shout.

His face was grim, and his hands were clenched into fists.

His body was still trembling, and his eyes were filled with resentment and anger.

However, he dared not disobey his grandfather.

“Meng Chuan is right. Your pampered life has not made you strive for excellence, but has only taught you to bully the weak.”

“You enjoy the protection of your parents, but you forget that your parents also came from poor backgrounds.”

"It was through hard work and careful consideration that they built their businesses step by step."

"You eat your food, then curse your mother. You've wasted your lives all these years."

Grandpa Chen slammed his cane down hard.

He shouted angrily:

"Zhendong, kneel down before me!"

"Grandpa~"

"Kneel down!" "Sorry this chapter is late. I wanted to write something with more depth, so I wrote and deleted, deleted and revised repeatedly. Sigh!"
