Chapter 91 He said: I'm sorry, Meimei
Luo Jiuyu remained silent, exuding a chilling aura.
Lin Cuilan noticed that something was wrong with his expression.
“Mr. Luo?” Lin Cuilan looked at him cautiously.
Luo Jiuyu snapped out of her daze and pressed the end-of-recording button on the phone in her left hand.
He recorded everything Lin Cuilan said.
"Please, please help our factory."
How do you want me to help?
Before Lin Cuilan arrived, she had hoped that Luo Jiuyu would allocate some funds to solve the problem of the broken capital chain, considering that he was the son-in-law of the Hua family.
This money should be given to the Hua family for free; they don't need to pay it back.
Seeing Luo Jiuyu, she dared not say that anymore and could only change her mind and settle for second best.
"Lend us some money first, so we can have working capital. Of course, it would be even better if you could also help us secure some large orders and build connections."
“Ms. Lin has thought things through very well.” Luo Jiuyu nodded and sneered.
"Heh..." Lin Cuilan didn't know what expression to make. What did he mean?
"Have you ever wondered why the Hua family has fallen to such a state?"
Twenty years ago, thanks to the hard work of Hua Meimei's parents, Hua Family Enterprises was one of the top three most famous snack processing factories in Tiancheng.
After Hua Meimei's birth mother died, Hua Wenxia married Lin Cuilan. A few years later, the Hua family's factory began to decline.
The times changed too quickly, and the factory's snacks failed to innovate in time. It was too late to create its own brand, and it was left far behind by the new generation of snack factories and other brands.
This was all thanks to Lin Cuilan. She lacked innovation, was empty-headed, and stuck to her own opinions, while Hua Wenxia was willing to listen to her, leading to the factory's decline.
Lin Cuilan never felt it was her fault; she just felt she was unlucky.
“Doing business inevitably involves risks; we were just unlucky to encounter difficulties,” Lin Cuilan said.
Luo Jiuyu suppressed her anger and said patiently, "You're wrong. It's because forced relationships are never sweet."
"What?" Lin Cuilan was completely baffled.
"Back then, in order to seize the Hua family's wealth, you seduced Hua Wenxia into having an affair, causing his first wife to be heartbroken and die after giving birth to Hua Meimei. Don't forget, most of the wealth accumulated by the Hua family was created by Hua Meimei's mother herself."
"Hua Wenxia is mediocre and has no talent for business. You are a brainless vase who only knows how to use the Hua family's money to maintain your status and luxurious life as Mrs. Hua, and then raise your son to be a useless person like you."
Lin Cuilan stared at him, speechless.
I thought he knew nothing about the Hua family, but I never expected him to know so much about it.
"If you had behaved yourself, been a good wife and stepmother, and focused on being a good wife and mother, and relied on Hua Wenxia to run the factory, the Hua family's fortune wouldn't have been squandered so quickly."
Luo Jiuyu continued, "It's a pity that you're neither willing to be a good wife nor a good stepmother. You cause internal strife at home and give orders haphazardly at the factory. You've ruined the Hua family's fortune."
"I..." No one had ever said these words to Lin Cuilan before. Her mind was blank, and she couldn't understand it.
Luo Jiuyu stood up from his office chair, pressed the button on the landline, and called Gao Peng in.
"I feel disgusted just breathing the same air as you," Luo Jiuyu mocked Lin Cuilan mercilessly.
Lin Cuilan was terrified and jumped up from her chair, trying to stop him.
"Weren't we having a great chat at first? Why are you suddenly turning your back on me?"
Gao Peng pulled her back, saying, "Ms. Lin, please have some self-respect."
Luo Jiuyu took the cashmere coat and walked towards the main entrance.
"Gao Peng, if she doesn't leave, have security throw her out. Also, has the office chair we ordered for Madam been delivered to her?"
When Hua Meimei came to his office last time, he saw that she really liked his chair, so he asked Gao Peng to buy two more, one to be delivered to her company and the other to her warehouse.
Lin Cuilan was stunned when she heard him mention his wife. Why was he smiling so affectionately when he mentioned his wife?
His expression completely changed, the coldness from before was gone.
"Luo Jiuyu, you wouldn't have gotten together with Hua Meimei..."
Lin Cuilan called out to him excitedly. By then, he had already reached the main entrance and was about to open it and leave.
“We are husband and wife, isn’t it normal for us to have a good relationship?” Luo Jiuyu glanced at her. “Lin Cuilan, the only right thing you did in your life was to let Meimei marry into my family.”
"What..." Lin Cuilan's eyes widened like copper bells.
"If you dare to send someone to harm Meimei, I'll let you experience what it's like to be torn apart by five horses. Don't worry, I'll have someone avoid the surveillance cameras so you die silently." Luo Jiuyu smiled meaningfully.
Lin Cuilan realized what was happening and felt terrified. Her legs went weak and she fell backward to the ground.
He went out.
Gao Peng asked Lin Cuilan in a cold voice, "Are you going to walk out by yourself, or should I ask security to throw you out?"
Lin Cuilan was startled again and jumped to her feet. "I'll go! I'll go by myself!"
Lin Cuilan drove here, but because she was too frightened to concentrate on driving, she had to take a taxi to the hospital to find Hua Wenxia first.
She arrived at the hospital gate, and Hua An'an also came in from outside. The mother and son met.
"Mom, why are you so pale?" Hua An'an saw that Lin Cuilan was unsteady on her feet and seemed lost in thought, so she quickly stepped forward to support her.
When she saw Hua An'an, she realized she had forgotten to mention to Luo Jiuyu that she had asked him to speak to the principal and not expel Hua An'an.
Unfortunately, there was no chance to mention it again.
"Son, will I really be killed?" Lin Cuilan asked, grabbing Hua An'an's arm.
Hua An'an was baffled. "Who would dare to kill someone in broad daylight? You haven't done anything shameful."
"I..." Lin Cuilan still felt lingering fear.
Luo Jiuyu really seems capable of being ruthless towards her.
The look in his eyes before he left, a smile that said he would tear her apart, was even more terrifying than a vicious gaze!
"Has Berry arrived yet?"
She was helped by Hua An'an to walk towards the ward area.
Hua An'an said he didn't know. He came from outside and hadn't seen Hua Meimei yet.
In Hua Wenxia's hospital room, Hua Meimei was peeling an apple for Hua Wenxia.
Hua Wenxia insisted on being discharged from the hospital. Hua Meimei kindly advised him to rest for two days.
"I'm really fine now, I don't want to stay in the hospital anymore," Hua Wenxia said, getting out of bed.
Seeing that his gentle approach wasn't working, Hua Meimei resorted to force and scolded him, "Lie back down!"
Upon hearing this, Hua Wenxia realized it was the first time his daughter had yelled at him so fiercely. For some reason, he obediently went back to bed.
"Eat an apple." Berry put the peeled apple into his hand.
"The factory is about to close down, what am I supposed to do lying here!" Hua Wenxia took a bite of her apple and sighed.
“I can help you,” she said calmly.
Unable to bear seeing the Hua family business go bankrupt, she finally decided to lend a helping hand.
After all, the Hua family business contains the hard work and dedication of Hua Meimei's mother.
"How can you help?" Hua Wenxia's eyes lit up, and she perked up. "Do you agree to ask Luo Jiuyu for help?"
“You don’t need to beg him, I can help you myself.” She said irritably. In her father Hua Wenxia’s eyes, was his daughter really that useless?
Hua Wenxia looked at her with disappointment, "You?"
Luo Jiuyu stood at the door of the ward for a while and overheard their conversation.
He had already guessed that Berry wouldn't easily ask him for help.
She was strong-willed; before falling in love with him, she could swallow her pride and borrow money from him to keep the company afloat. After falling in love with him, however, she became unwilling to rely on him in any way, feeling uneasy for even spending a penny of his money.
He pushed open the door and went in, gently calling her, "Meimei."
Hua Wenxia recognized him and sat up abruptly. "Huh, am I seeing things? It's my son-in-law?"
Luo Jiuyu didn't even glance at his father-in-law, but just stared at Hua Meimei.
She hadn't told Luo Jiuyu about her father's hospitalization, so why was he here? She got up to greet him, puzzled: "Jiuyu, what brings you here?"
Luo Jiuyu stepped forward and hugged her. How much energy did this little girl possess? She had a hard life since childhood, yet now she could hold up the sky.
"I'm sorry, Meimei." He said in a hoarse voice, kissing her forehead.
She looked up at his face in utter astonishment. "What did you do wrong?"
"I'm sorry, I came into your life too late."
