"Do you think money grows on trees? Your uncle still only holds a little over three percent of the shares. The reason your grandfather is giving so much this time is purely because of the Qin family. The Qin family is a century-old dynasty, and no one knows how much money they have."
After finishing, Su Mei pursed her lips and continued, "This marriage was your grandfather's idea from the start, but your cousin's stunt has totally humiliated him. Now, he's just trying to save face by throwing in a bit more."
"Have they met before?"
"You mean Qin Zhuoran and Meng Wanbai? No. Your grandfather had just sealed the deal with Qin Zhuoran's father when your cousin bolted. There was no chance for them to meet. If you're on board, your grandfather will take care of the rest. Don't worry!"
Seeing that Meng Yitong didn't object, Su Mei continued, "When picking a man, you can't just go by looks. Take your dad—he's way better-looking than your uncle, but look at the life we live compared to your uncle's family?"
"So, marrying a man should be about what he can do. Qin Zhuoran became the general manager of the Qin Group at the age of 25. Just think about how strong his abilities are! Good genes too, so your kids will be sharp..."
At first, Su Mei just wanted to talk Meng Yitong into it, but the more she spoke, the more she felt this was indeed a good choice.
Meng Yitong, raised in an orphanage, has always admired powerful people, which is one reason she doesn't reject the marriage alliance.
A CEO is always swamped; when would he have time to fall in love? That's why marriage alliances are necessary!
"Can I at least meet him first?"
Meng Yitong felt that marriage is a lifelong commitment, so it's better to be cautious.
"Doubt it. Your cousin wanted to meet him before she took off, but no luck."
Su Mei glanced at Meng Yitong's conflicted expression and continued, "Honestly, it's not as big a deal as you think. Marry him first, get your grandfather's dowry, and then figure out what Qin Zhuoran's like. If he's decent, then make it work. If not, you can live separately. He's so busy with work; it won't bother you much!"
"As long as a woman's got money, there's plenty of fun to be had! No need to stick to just one man! Even if it doesn't work out, after the divorce, you'll have cash and can find someone younger and hotter."
Listening to Mom Meng's words, Meng Yitong secretly thought to herself: You have no clue how much fun your daughter gets up to!
Seeing Meng Yitong's skeptical expression, Su Mei changed her tone, "Haha, just saying. With today's tech, if you can win Qin Zhuoran over, just get him some work done. You can have him look however you want!"
Meng Yitong was also amused by Su Mei and laughed, "If he wanted to do that, he would have done it already."
"Not really. Men don't care much about that stuff. Plus, his stepmom's in the mix. Word is, his injury was her doing. What good intentions could she have? Just look at your father. Even so, the old lady is praised for her kind heart!"
Seeing her daughter's attitude softening, Su Mei quickly began to share her experience.
"But guys like that are easy to win over. The more they lack something, the more they want it. After you marry, be sweet and compliment him often. You'll have him wrapped around your finger in no time, and then he'll listen to everything you say..."
......
After a full-on lecture on husband management, Meng Yitong felt brainwashed. Otherwise, why would she, a total love newbie, be so sure she could handle a trillion-dollar heir?
Early the next morning, before Meng Yitong had even gotten out of bed, she heard people talking in the hospital room.
When she groggily opened her eyes, she saw a middle-aged woman in her forties having a serious argument with Su Mei.
Yesterday, while searching for information about the Meng Group, Meng Yitong had seen this person—she was the wife of the current general manager of the Meng Group, Meng Mingyu, Pan Qiuying.
Pan Qiuying was born into a family of scholars. Her father and grandfather were both renowned contemporary painters, and she herself had inherited their talent, winning numerous awards at a young age.
Later, she fell in love at first sight with Meng's second uncle and married into the Meng family, becoming a celebrated story in high society.
After marrying into the Meng family, Pan Qiuying did not give up painting. She still held art exhibitions every year and later took charge of all the social charity work of the Meng family, becoming a central figure in the capital's wealthy wives' circle.
Not only that, she also had three outstanding children. Her eldest son, at 26, was already capable of handling things on his own and was the head of the technology company under the Meng Group.
Her second daughter had inherited her talent, showing extraordinary artistic ability from a young age. A doodle she made at the age of 10 sold for millions at a charity auction, and now she was a well-known young artist in the art world.
Her third son was a child prodigy, admitted to the elite class of the Mathematics Department at Hua Xia University at the age of 15. During his three years at the university, he published several academic papers and was already guaranteed a spot for graduate studies.
Today, her main purpose for coming to the hospital was also related to this. She did not want yesterday's incident to affect her youngest son's education and tarnish his life.
"I already said I would withdraw the case today. Is there a need to be in such a hurry?" Su Mei was very dissatisfied with her rushing to the hospital early in the morning.
"I was just worried that you might be anxious, sister-in-law! Since Yi Yi is awake, I'll have Lawyer Zhou come in."
