“It’s very simple,” Mei Shu said. “I hold the entire Mei Group in my hands. Maybe my company doesn’t mean much to you now, but someday, I will develop it to a position where it can stand shoulder to shoulder with the Lu family without relying on it.”
Lu Ting seemed to have heard the biggest joke ever and burst into laughter. “With just you? A girl who hasn’t even graduated from high school?”
“Yes, just me,” Mei Shu replied calmly, unruffled by the mockery. “If you don’t believe me, we can make a bet, what do you say?”
“Sure, how do you want to bet?” Lu Ting asked confidently, feeling like he already had the upper hand.
Mei Shu also had a plan in mind. “I know you hold the ownership of the Southeastern Island. If 1 win, that island belongs to me.”
Even Lu Li couldn’t believe what he was hearing when Mei Shu mentioned the Southeastern Island.
It was their Lu family’s upcoming key development target, and Lu Ting’s ownership of it meant control over untold wealth in the future.
It was a key tourist resort that had been favored by many and was about to be invested in.
As long as the construction of the island was completed, that place would be the first choice for the wealthy to take a vacation. The wealth they could earn would be immeasurable.
“How about it? Dare to bet?” Mei Shu maintained her confident posture.
Lu Ting glared at Lu Si with a heavy expression, seemingly blaming him for revealing such information to Mei Shu.
But little did Lu Ting know, Lu Si was the most innocent one in this matter. The development project of the Southeastern Island wasn’t leaked by him at all.
“Fine, what if you lose?” Lu Ting asked. “You’re asking me to wager such a valuable piece of land. Surely, you’re not expecting to get away with nothing?”
Mei Shu raised an eyebrow. “Of course, I won’t take advantage of you for free. If 1 lose, 1’11 hand over the Mei family to you. Although you may not fancy it, it’s still a sign of my sincerity.”
“Good!” Lu Ting didn’t bother with the trivial details. As long as Mei Shu agreed, that was enough for him. “I hope that when you can’t fulfill your promise in the future, you won’t send Lu Si to beg for mercy on your behalf!”
“Let’s wait and see,” Mei Shu said with a smile, her beautiful eyebrows curved. “By the way, I suggest you suspend the development project of that island for now. I have my own plans for it, so there’s no need for you to work for me in vain.”
Lu Ting found Mei Shu ridiculous.
She hadn’t even done anything yet, but she was already thinking about how to profit from that island?
“We’ll see when you actually achieve something! I won’t stop the project for you. If you win the bet, whether the island is demolished or rebuilt, it’s up to you to decide!”
“Good!” Mei Shu winked at him. “Grandfather, I’m starting to like you now.”
Lu Ting snorted disdainfully, averting his gaze from her, indicating that she should leave.
Mei Shu didn’t feel the need to stay any longer. She casually stood up and said, “I’ll take my leave now, Grandfather. Until next time.”
Lu Ting’s face flushed red, and he glared at her, saying, “I hope the next time I see you, you won’t be bankrupt and wandering the streets!”
Mei Shu waved her hand with a smile and left directly.
Lu Si hurriedly followed her out.
After they left, Lu Ting was so angry that he almost broke another teacup. “This is simply absurd! I’ve nurtured Lu Si for so many years, but in the end, he’s captivated by such an ignorant, big-talking woman! I want to see how she’ll end up!”
Lu Li also showed a hint of helplessness.
If he had supported his brother’s insistence on his own feelings before, now he began to doubt Mei Shu as well.
Outside, Mei Shu opened the car door but stopped and looked back at the man who had chased after her.
Lu Si came over and closed her car door tightly, then pulled her hand and led her to a pavilion where there were no bodyguards on duty. “Shu’er, listen to me. No matter what happens, I won’t give up on you. You don’t have to put the entire ATei family at stake.”
“Even you don’t believe me?” Mei Shu chuckled. “Why don’t you join the bet as well? You’re welcome to join anytime.”
Lu Si sighed and said, “I know that once you say something, you’ll definitely do it. I don’t doubt you. I just don’t want to see you burdened like this. To develop the Mei family to the level of the Lu family, I can’t imagine how much effort it will take from you. You even refused my help in front of Grandfather.”
“Of course, otherwise, how can this bet be interesting?” Mei Shu patted his shoulder. “Alright, I’m starting to regret it now. Your grandfather definitely won’t agree. If there’s nothing else, I’ll head back to the company.”
“Wait!” Lu Si grabbed her wrist, his Adam’s apple bobbing up and down as he unconsciously softened his voice. “I know I made you feel wronged today, but I want you to know, you’re the one I would give up everything for.. So, no matter what happens, please don’t put me on the opposite side of you, okay?”
