Reborn in 2014: A One-Man Tycoon

Wang Ling truly regrets it.

That day at the hot pot restaurant, Zhao Dazhu was arrested, and she, as Zhao Dazhu's female companion, was naturally taken in as well.

However, she was released without charge after giving only a brief statement.

Zhao Dazhu is still being held inside.

But at the police station, Zhang Jie roared at Zhao Dazhu:

"Do you know who you've messed with? That's our bank's biggest savings customer, with 270 billion yuan deposited in our bank."

Wang Ling heard just that one sentence.

Like a thunderbolt, it completely overturned her perception of Meng Chuan.

This one sentence made Wang Ling regret it to the core.

She could have shared all of this with Meng Chuan.

Because she knew that Meng Chuan had once loved her so humbly, to the very core of his being.

But she lost the watermelon and picked up the sesame seeds.

No, it's like losing the whole ocean and picking up a single grain of sand.

She thought that by attaching herself to Zhao Dazhu, the vice president of the bank, she could enjoy a good material life.

Little did she know that the humble man she once looked down upon was actually from a wealthy family.

Therefore, she was willing to give everything.

Even if she were ten thousand times, a hundred million times more humble than Meng Chuan was back then, she would be willing to do it as long as she could get Meng Chuan back.

And she firmly believed it.

Since Meng Chuan loved her so much back then, he must still have some feelings for her.

As long as she works hard enough, she will definitely be able to make a comeback.

If all else fails, she'd be content even if it meant being a secret lover.

So she couldn't give up; she had to keep working hard.

As long as Meng Chuan gains the approval of his parents, he will eventually change his mind.

If Meng Chuan knew what Wang Ling was thinking at this moment, I wonder what he would think?

"Son, how did your talks go?"

Meng Chuan returned home with his father, Meng Jianguo, and mother, Zhang Mei.

My mother couldn't wait to ask.

"Mom, don't get your hopes up. I can't be with her. I'll try my best to find you a better daughter-in-law in the future."

Meng Chuan briefly explained the situation between himself and Wang Ling.

Meng Chuan still phrased it rather cryptically.

The fact that Wang Ling "killed both father and son" was not mentioned.

After all, it's rather embarrassing that I once fell in love with such a thing.

However, upon hearing that Wang Ling had a past affair with a middle-aged fat man, Meng Jianguo flew into a rage.

"What? She's that kind of person? She absolutely cannot enter the Meng family."

My mom also looked disgusted.

Just as Mom was about to say something.

A voice, trembling with sobs, came from outside the door.

"Xiao Chuan, Xiao Chuan, is that you back?"

Immediately afterwards, Uncle Meng Jianjun, Aunt Wu Chunhua, and the two children, Meng Dabao and Meng Erbao, the whole family of four, rushed in.

Especially Aunt Wu Chunhua, who knelt down as soon as she entered the door and saw Meng Chuan.

"Xiao Chuan, my nephew, please, have mercy on us and spare our family!"

Wu Chunhua burst into tears.

Startled, Meng Chuan quickly got up and hid to the side.

"What are you trying to do? If you want to kneel, kneel in front of my grandfather's grave, don't kneel in front of me."

Meng Chuan said coldly.

If we're talking about who's the most hateful in my second uncle's family, my second aunt, Wu Chunhua, is definitely number one.

Meng Chuan was still young back then, but he often heard his second aunt, Wu Chunhua, call his grandfather "old codger."

The fact that my second uncle's family refused to serve my grandfather was largely due to Wu Chunhua's insistence.

After all, Wu Chunhua's family was relatively well-off.

My second uncle's family became contractors because of Wu Chunhua's family.

Therefore, Aunt Wu Chunhua was the only one who had the final say at home.

Even on the day of my grandfather's funeral, only my second uncle came to attend.

The Meng family couldn't build a house on their ancestral land, and every time, it was their second aunt, Wu Chunhua, who would make a scene with her hair disheveled.

As a result, the land use right certificate for the homestead has not been approved for a long time.

"Nephew, your second aunt knows she was wrong, from now on..."

"Don't call me nephew, I can't accept that. If I remember correctly, you were the first person in your family to call me a good-for-nothing, weren't you? How can you call a good-for-nothing nephew? Don't you always say that seeing a good-for-nothing like me is bad luck?"

Meng Chuan interrupted his second aunt Wu Chunhua without any hesitation.

"No, no, no, Xiaochuan, it's Auntie's fault..."

Wu Chunhua said, crying.

"Get up and talk."

Meng Chuan interrupted again.

Even if he disliked his second aunt, she was still his elder.

Kneeling in one's own home, what kind of behavior is that?

“No, if you don’t agree, I will keep kneeling.”

Wu Chunhua said in a spoiled manner.

“Back then, when you targeted our family so much, we didn’t kneel down to you. Back then, when I was lying in the hospital waiting for money to save my life, we still didn’t kneel down to you.”

Meng Chuan coldly replied, showing no appreciation whatsoever:

"Your family isn't in a worse situation than we were back then, so why are you kneeling down?"

As he spoke, Meng Chuan pointed at Meng Dabao and Meng Erbao:

"Right now, immediately, drag her out of here. If you want to kneel, kneel at your own home. Don't kneel at my house, it's bad luck."

Meng Chuan really disliked this family.

If it weren't for his father's connections, given Meng Chuan's personality, he would have gone straight for the kill.

"Mom, why don't you...you go back first! We'll talk to Meng Chuan."

Meng Dabao had no choice but to speak up.

Because it was clear that Meng Chuan was genuinely angry.

“Okay, Xiaochuan, your second aunt knows you’re still angry with me. I admit I looked down on you before. Your second aunt is sorry for you and your family. If you’re not angry, your second aunt will go back now. Jianjun, Dabao, Erbao, you must apologize to Xiaochuan properly. Xiaochuan is a very sensible child now. We are all family, blood is thicker than water, he will definitely forgive us.”

Wu Chunhua kept herself very humble.

The following words seemed to be addressed to Meng Jianjun and his group.

But it was actually meant for Meng Chuan's ears as well.

However, her self-righteous words are actually a form of moral blackmail.

Meng Chuan smiled coldly and didn't expose him.

They're still trying to outsmart him, but Meng Chuan isn't falling for it.

"Speak! What do you want from me?"

After Wu Chunhua left, Meng Chuan sat down again.

But Meng Jianjun and the other two remained standing, appearing extremely reserved.

"Cousin, we..."

Meng Erbao spoke first.

But Meng Chuan's cold gaze immediately swept over him.

"You're the one who broke my dad's head, aren't you?"

Meng Chuan's voice wasn't loud, but it was filled with chilling intent.

Meng Erbao, who was always arrogant and domineering in the village, subconsciously took a step back.

He had never given Meng Chuan, his cousin, a second glance before.

But now Meng Chuan has grown to the point that even a single glance from him can terrify me.

"Uncle, I'm sorry. I was young and impetuous. Please forgive my lack of filial piety."

Meng Erbao gritted his teeth and knelt down in front of Meng Jianguo.

To be fair, Meng Erbao does have a good eye for things.

Although he was usually uneducated and incompetent, he was much more quick-witted than Meng Dabao.

He knew that to gain Meng Chuan's forgiveness, he had to face his mistakes squarely and not run away from them.

Meng Jianguo was so frightened by Meng Erbao's kneeling that he tried to stand up again.

But Meng Chuan grabbed Meng Jianguo with one hand.

“Dad, Wu Chunhua is an elder, and I don’t want to bear her kneeling. But he is your junior, so please sit down.”

Meng Chuan wouldn't let his father, Meng Jianguo, get up.

Instead, he turned to look at Meng Jianjun:

"Speak! What do you want from me? Don't think my dad is making things difficult for you. I know my dad well. Even if it's a huge matter, out of blood ties, my dad will definitely not make things too difficult for you."

Although Meng Chuan did not concern himself with the affairs of his second uncle's family.

But that doesn't mean Meng Chuan didn't know.

Knowing my dad's personality, it's bound to be all bark and no bite.

"Xiao Chuan, your father has indeed forgiven us. But the Lin Group won't let us off the hook!"

Meng Jianjun said with a worried look on his face.

In an effort to quell Meng Chuan's anger, the Lin Group focused its attention on Meng Jianjun.

Even previously completed infrastructure projects have been unearthed.

Now the Lin Group is filing a lawsuit, demanding severe punishment.

As the contractor, Meng Jianjun certainly couldn't escape.

Secondly, there were Meng Dabao and Meng Erbao, who were responsible for supervising the construction.

These days, Meng Jianjun has used up all his connections.

But when it comes to the Lin Group, the arm can't twist the thigh.

The father and his two sons are likely to face huge claims from the Lin Group and imprisonment.

Meng Dabao also knelt down with a thud:

"Meng Chuan, please have mercy. I will take full responsibility for all the crimes. I am willing to go to jail, but please spare my father and brother."
