Chapter 1514: Delaying Tactics

The family of three talked and laughed, and they were so excited that they couldn't sleep at night. They chatted until almost dawn before falling asleep.

Unexpectedly, Xu Zehua got up early in the morning and walked around in the living room, causing Xu's mother and Xu Yue to get up to see what was going on with him.

"Dad, why don't you sleep a little longer?" Xu Yue rubbed her sleepy eyes and asked.

"I want to make breakfast for you and your mother." Xu Zehua responded with a happy smile.

"Her father, let me do it." Xu's mother rushed over and said.

"You take a rest, I'll do it this morning, one fried egg and sausage for each of you, plus hot milk, how about it?" Xu Zehua asked with a smile, waving his hands repeatedly.

"It's all right." Xu Yue nodded like pounding garlic, and then stared at his father intently.

Xu Zehua opened the refrigerator and asked again, "After breakfast, your mother and I will go to the house to clean up, and try to move back as soon as possible, and then bring your sister back to live with us."

Ah? Bring Xu Mei home to live together? Xu Yue's eyes widened, and her eyeballs almost fell to the ground!

Mother Xu was stunned for a moment, but soon came back to her senses. She forced a smile and said hello to her husband. In the blink of an eye, she saw that her little daughter looked strange, so she took advantage of the gap when her husband went into the kitchen to make arrangements and hurried over. She made up an excuse to pull Xu Yue back to the room.

Watching her mother close the door lightly, Xu Yue couldn't wait to lower her voice and said, "Dad wants to bring Xu Mei back to live with us. How can this be possible?"

"It's normal for your dad to think so. After all, Meimei is his eldest daughter. You have to understand your dad." Mother Xu spoke for her husband to comfort Xu Yue.

Xu Yue scratched her hair anxiously, "But! Xu Mei regards us mother and daughter as a thorn in her eyes. How can she let it go!"

Mother Xu quickly pressed her finger between her lips, "Shh! Keep your voice down! Don't let your dad hear it!"

Xu Yue grumbled angrily and didn't say anything.

Mother Xu reached out and pressed her shoulder, "Yueyue, listen to me, don't rush to tell your dad about the conflict between Meimei and us mother and daughter. He just came out and hasn't adapted to the environment yet. He needs time to adjust his mentality."

"But he will ask me, he urged me to contact Xu Mei." Xu Yue said annoyed.

"Then you can secretly go to Meimei to communicate, tell her that dad has returned home, and see what her attitude is." Mother Xu taught.

"She is in love with the son of that old bastard surnamed Li, how could she not know that her father has returned home? I thought about it last night, if she doesn't come back to see her father, she will never turn back." Xu Yue analyzed.

"Oh, instead of you thinking about it here, you might as well go and see what Meimei says in person." Mother Xu frowned and scolded her daughter.

Since her mother insisted that she go to see Xu Mei, Xu Yue just nodded aggrievedly, "Okay, I'll go and try to find her!"

Dongdong

There were two knocks on the door, and Xu Zehua's voice came in, "Wife, Yueyue, come out for breakfast."

The mother and daughter exchanged glances and quickly opened the door.

Xu Zehua had already returned to the coffee table and sat down, with breakfast for three people placed on the table.

The two of them saw that Xu Zehua looked normal, so they were relieved and started eating together.

Buzz!

Xu Yue's phone vibrated, and she checked it. It was a WeChat message from He Dong, which said: I have a regular meeting for middle-level managers this morning, and I will try to get off work early in the afternoon to pick up the children and go to your home to visit your parents.

"Yueyue, is it Xiao He looking for you?" Xu Zehua asked, glancing at his daughter who was concentrating on reading WeChat.

Xu Yue instinctively answered, "Well, he said he would go down early today and then pick up--"

Mother Xu hurriedly touched Xu Yue with her arm, successfully stopping her daughter from continuing to talk, and then took over the topic, "Then he came to pick us up for dinner?"

Xu Yue suddenly woke up and helped her mother to smooth things over, "Yes, yes."

Xu Zehua didn't notice their strangeness, so he smiled and said, "Xiao He is very good. Seeing how attentive he is to Yueyue, I am very satisfied."

In a word, he recognized He Dong as his son-in-law.

Xu Yue was a little happy and a little worried when her father said this.

If his father knew that Xu Mei's ex-husband was He Dong, and all the revenge Xu Mei had done to her, I don't know if he could withstand the blow!

After dinner, Mother Xu cleaned up the dishes and went into the kitchen to wash them. Xu Zehua went to the balcony to blow the wind, and Xu Yue hid in the room to call Xu Mei.

But Xu Mei didn't answer for a long time until the line rang and disconnected.

Xu Yue thought about it, changed her clothes, picked up her bag and went out to find Xu Mei.

"Yueyue, where are you going?" Xu Zehua heard the noise and chased her out of the balcony door to ask.

"I'm going to buy something." Xu Yue responded, changed her shoes and left.

"Take some time to find your sister and ask her to come back!" Xu Zehua's voice followed her.

"I will go to find her when I am free, don't worry." Xu Yue didn't dare to say it directly, so she could only say empty words to deal with it.

When she got downstairs, Xu Yue let out a long sigh, huh! It's really hard to describe!

She took out her mobile phone and decisively sent a text message to Xu Mei: Dad has been released and returned home. He wants to see you. Don't hide. Talk to me, otherwise I will call you every minute until you are willing to answer.

After sending the text message, she went to the roadside to take a taxi and rushed to the high-end apartment building where Xu Mei lived.

She still didn't get any response on the way. Xu Yue gritted her teeth, copied and pasted the text message, and sent more than a dozen messages to Xu Mei in one go!

Don’t answer the phone? Just keep calling until they answer! Don’t reply to text messages? Just keep sending messages until they respond! Who’s afraid of who? !

Probably out of sheer worry, the moment Xu Yue arrived at the apartment building, got off the car and wanted to walk into the lobby, Xu Mei was finally willing to answer the phone.

But before Xu Yue said anything, Xu Mei opened her mouth and cursed: "Are you sick? Go to the hospital for treatment! Are you bothered? Get out!"

"You are the one who needs to go to the hospital! You are my father's daughter, and he was finally released. What's the matter with you not paying attention? Do you still have a conscience?!" Xu Yue was furious. Come on, choke back immediately.

"I have no conscience? Does your mistress' daughter have a conscience? He immediately went to your mother and daughter's place after he came out! If I want to see him, I have to see you, this disgusting mother and daughter, first! That's why I won't go! "Xu Mei cursed angrily.

Xu Yue hurriedly took the phone away from her ear. The decibels were so unbearable!

After Xu Mei had scolded her enough, Xu Yue pressed the phone to her ear again, "Do you want me to confront you at the door of your apartment? Let your neighbors come out to comment? Xu Mei, if you are willing to humiliate this person, I can't No comment!"

"Bitch! Get out of here! Don't dirty my place!" Xu Mei yelled hysterically.

Seeing that she didn't hang up immediately, Xu Yue knew that she was worried about him, so she calmed down and said, "Dad is moving back to the old house and is cleaning it. You can go over there and meet him."

"..." Xu Mei panted at the other end and said after a long time, "He is over there at the old house now?"

"Probably." Xu Yue responded in a deep voice.

As soon as the words fell, Xu Mei hung up immediately. Xu Yue heard this and reluctantly put her phone back and turned around to leave.

On the way back, she thought to herself that Xu Mei was so angry that she couldn't save her face to see her father. She also thought that her parents had to clean the old house, so she might as well rush to help...

A pair of sinister eyes kept staring at Xu Yue until Xu Yue left the apartment building and got out of a luxury car on the roadside. Li Ming raised her head and pointed towards the balcony of Xu Mei's house. She took out her mobile phone to dial a number and whispered to the person. After a few words, the person at the end of the call closed the line and strode into the lobby.

Xu Mei clutched her phone, pacing around the room like a trapped animal, unable to extricate herself from the extreme resentment and hesitation she felt.

On the one hand, she really wants to visit her father. After all, she hasn't seen him for many years. Is he in good health after being in prison for so long?

On the one hand, she hated him for letting her mother die with hatred, and hated him for rushing to reunite with Xu Yue and her daughter as soon as he was released from prison. The three of them were a happy family, but she was alone and faced the four walls!

unfair! No justice!

That's why she didn't want to go to meet him stupidly! She wanted him to suffer as much as she did!

Ding dong! Ding dong!

The sudden doorbell startled Xu Mei!

Who would come to her door at this time? Could it be the stubborn Xu Yue?

Xu Mei crossed the living room and looked out through the cat's eye. It was dawn!

Why is he still here? After the accident, he seemed to have disappeared from the world, and she knew that he was the son of an enemy!

After thinking about it, Xu Mei raised her voice coldly and said, "I have nothing to say to you. Let's break it off from now on!"

"You have nothing to say to me, but I have a lot to say to you. Give me ten minutes and I will leave after you finish talking." Liming suggested unhurriedly.

Xu Mei frowned, isn't it just ten minutes? Just let him speak.

So he opened the door and let Li Ming in.

After entering, Liming closed the door and quickly grabbed Xu Mei's wrist.

"What are you doing?" Xu Mei tried to break free, but was pinched hard by him.

"Calm down, come here, sit down and listen to me." Li Ming pulled her to the sofa and sat down regardless.

Xu Mei held back her anger and sat down with him.

"I have no emotional problems with you, sister. You know I love you, but now you are angry because you think it was my dad who framed your dad, bankrupted your family, and put your dad in jail. "Nian, am I right?" Li Ming spoke calmly.

Xu Mei's eyes widened, "Yes! That's why I said I want to break up with you!"

"Don't worry, I haven't finished speaking yet," Liming patted the back of her hand in a good-tempered way and comforted her, "But have you ever thought about why my dad suddenly wanted to frame you because he had a very good relationship with your parents? Dad, do you want your family to go bankrupt?”

Xu Mei blinked a few times after hearing this, but she had never thought about this problem.

Li Ming seized her moment of confusion and said, "We have all ignored this important point. Yesterday I went to see my dad, and he finally said that he had always had a crush on your mom, but she fell in love with your dad, so my dad had to give up her love. Who can I know that your father was willing to marry your mother because he wanted to covet your grandfather's family property. After marriage, your father still had no connection with Xu Yue's mother. Your mother later found out about this and became depressed and ill. After her death, my father wanted to take revenge. It’s your father who is so cruel.”

Xu Mei remained silent and fell into deep thought.

Liming continued to talk to her, "Now that your dad is released from prison, my dad is squatting in there. I don't know whether the cause and effect cycle is fair or unfair. Everyone must be responsible for their own actions, but sister, nothing happened." It's so simple as you said. You can't really tell the difference with just one sentence. Have you ever thought about what you are going to do next? Where will the Inno Jewelry we created together go?"

When Xu Mei saw him mentioning practical issues, she immediately woke up, stared at him and said, "I'm afraid you are going to take over your father's group company, and Yinuo Jewelry won't have time to take care of it. You might as well give me all the shares." !”

Li Ming spread her hands generously and said, "It's okay to give it to you, just give me a price."

He was actually willing to give up all his shares to her! Xu Mei was excited for a while, but when it came to acquiring funds, she was in trouble again. She used procrastination to deal with him, "I... let the finance department clear it up and give you an answer."

"No rush, I'll wait for your reply." Liming nodded, paused, and then continued, "I'm concerned, do you have so much working capital on hand?"

"You don't need to worry about this, I will find a way myself." Xu Mei didn't want to be looked down upon by him, so she said forcefully.

Li Ming put out his arms and hugged her, "Sister, do you and I really want to be enemies? Why do we have to bear the grudges of the previous generation? They are their business. As long as we have a good relationship, it's fine."

Xu Mei raised her hand to push him, "I don't believe you don't hate me and my dad!"

"You are different from your father. I won't be confused." Li Ming just hugged her tightly and said.

"..." Xu Mei's heart softened and she let him hold her.

"I'm telling you I'm going to give it to you. I'll give it to you and I'll only recover the cost price. You definitely don't have enough money on hand now." Liming analyzed it slowly for her, "Then you should go back and ask your dad for it. He has already He wants the company’s assets and real estate back. Your mother’s family helped him earn these, so he should give you most of them!”

Xu Mei thought it made sense and nodded repeatedly, "Well, I will ask him for it."

"Yes, if you don't ask for it from him, then Xu Yue and his daughter will be happy. They are eager to take over your father's assets! Don't be stupid, otherwise your mother will cry in heaven!" Li Ming immediately fanned the flames.

"If you want it, but I'm not close to my father, I don't know how much he would give me." Xu Mei muttered in a low voice.

"If he doesn't give you more than 70%, you're done with him! Bring out your mother and grandpa to scold him and see where he puts his face!" Li Ming instigated her to make trouble, "Sister, at this time Well, if you don’t strive for the best interests for yourself, you will hand over your profits to Xu Yue in vain, are you willing to do so?”

"Not willing!" Xu Mei said decisively, and then she became suspicious, "Tell me, what is Xu Yue's intention when she came to see me not long ago?"

"What did Xu Yue tell you?" Liming asked her.

Xu Mei told the whole story of the verbal dispute between herself and Xu Yue.

Liming was filled with indignation, and after she finished speaking, she shouted, "Xu Yue is very scheming. Your father has just been released from prison, and she can't wait to provoke you. She obviously wants to persuade you to visit your father, but actually she wants to test your attitude and see that you refuse. I'll talk back to you!"

"Actually, I just don't want you to visit your dad. Then all your dad's assets will fall into the hands of their mother and daughter!" Liming was afraid that the world would not be in chaos.

The corners of Xu Mei's mouth twitched. The more she thought about it, the more she realized that was what happened. She stood up and said, "No! I can't fall into her trap. I have to go see my dad right away!"

"I'll go with you!" Liming volunteered to be the flower protector, "Lest they join together to bully you!"

"Are you going too?" Xu Mei looked him up and down, "I'm afraid my dad won't give me any money if he sees you!"

"Don't worry! I went to clarify the matter with him as a member of the Li family. My dad wrote a letter to him and asked me to read it out in front of him!" Liming explained.

"What letter? Show me!" Xu Mei worried about whether he wanted the letter.

"I haven't read it either. My dad repeatedly told me to open it and read it out in front of your dad." Li Ming shrugged helplessly, "Let's go and find your dad to settle the ledger!"

Xu Mei went to carry her bag, went out with Li Ming, and went straight to the old house...

Xu Yue and her parents were packing things in the huge house. The old furniture had not been used for many years and was covered with thick dust. She advised them to stop doing it and asked the cleaners to come and clean it, but they refused to listen. To get your hands dirty, say that the cleaning tools have already been purchased.

Seeing that he couldn't stop it anymore, Xu Yue simply rolled up his sleeves and went to war.

While she was busy, Wen Di called her, "Where are you? Feiyu and I went to the rental house to look for her, but were rejected."

"My parents and I came here to clean up the old house. They are anxious to move back." Xu Yue said with a wry smile.

"Your dad has just come back. It's really annoying to have to take care of him for a few more days and then rush to clean up. Then Feiyu and I will go over there." After Wen Di finished speaking, he hung up the line.

After hearing this, Xu’s mother asked her daughter, “Who is this on the phone?”

"Wendi, she and Chen Feiyu came to see us." Xu Yue said truthfully.

"She has a boyfriend?" Xu Zehua asked with concern.

Xu Yue told the love story between Wendi and Chen Feiyu, and Xu Zehua nodded happily.

At this time, there was a sound of car engines and brakes outside the garden.

"It's not like they've arrived, right? So soon?" Xu Zehua asked his daughter with a smile.

"No way, they just came here from the rental house." Xu Yue put down the things in her hands suspiciously and walked to the hall door to look around.

I saw Xu Mei pushing open the garden door and looking at each other with Xu Yue, the two sisters' complicated eyes intertwined.

"Who is here?" Xu's mother and Xu Zehua walked up to ask Xu Yue.

When they saw Xu Mei walking towards her, they couldn't help but widen their eyes.

"Meimei——"

"Meimei!"

The two couples shouted at the same time, and at the same time passed Xu Yue and ran towards Xu Mei.

Xu Yue saw her parents gathered around Xu Mei to greet her, with a warm and fawning look, and felt mixed emotions in her heart.

Buzz! Her phone vibrated, and she saw the content. It was a WeChat message from Wendy: Dear, do you need us to bring anything?

Xu Yue replied: No, Xu Mei just came, and it seems that this big cleaning can't be done.

"Oh, you are so busy." Xu Mei said with sarcasm.

Xu Yue raised her eyes and saw that her parents and Xu Mei were looking at her, so she put away her phone and said embarrassedly, "Sister, come in and sit down."

"Now you are willing to call me sister in front of dad? Xu Yue, you are quite good at pretending." Xu Mei walked straight to Xu Yue, glared at her and walked into the hall.

Xu Zehua was stunned for a moment, he stared at Xu Yue with wide eyes, wanting his little daughter to give an explanation.

Seeing that the situation was not right, Xu's mother quickly took his hand, "Let's go in and talk."

Xu Yue couldn't talk directly to Xu Mei in front of her parents, so she turned around and sat down on the sofa.

Fortunately, after returning, they cleaned the sofa as soon as possible for rest, and now it came in handy.

Xu Mei frowned in disdain, looked around the living room, and the moment Xu Zehua and her stepmother came to her, she turned around and went to the opposite side of Xu Yue and sat down.

Xu Zehua was 100% sure that the two daughters were hostile and difficult to reconcile!

He tried his best to pull the corners of his mouth, keep smiling and go over with his wife and say, "Our family of four is finally reunited. Meimei, look, Dad is out, the house and company property have been taken back, we-"

"I know all this!" Xu Mei interrupted him unceremoniously, and continued with a slight curl of her lips, "I came here today to tell you something!" Meaning, stop talking nonsense and get straight to the point.

Ha! It turns out that there is no such thing as a visit to the temple! Xu Yue looked at Xu Mei coldly, without saying a word.

"You say, you say." Xu Zehua waved his hands repeatedly, indicating that his eldest daughter did not need to be restrained and speak freely.

"Old Xu, please sit down." Mother Xu said softly while helping Xu Zehua to sit on the single sofa at the top.

Seeing that her mother was about to stand aside with her head down instead of sitting down, Xu Yue hurriedly moved and said, "Mom, please sit down too."

Xu Mei was hurt by the interaction between the three of them and thought that they were deliberately leaving her aside!

"Ahem!" Xu Mei coughed heavily and successfully attracted the attention of the three of them. She said with a dark face, "Dad, now that you are out, the house and property are in place, shouldn't you return my mom's money to me?"

The eldest daughter just came home and asked for money? ! Xu Zehua was shocked and surprised!

Great! I knew that her sister would come to the door today for no good! She really came to ask for benefits! Xu Yue stared at Xu Mei with increasingly cold eyes.

Xu Mei didn't even look at Xu Yue, but just attacked her father blindly. Anyway, the money was in her father's hands, and he was willing to give it to her, and no one could control it!

"When my mother married you, you were unknown and the small company you worked hard for was unable to make ends meet. If my mother hadn't asked my grandfather for money to help you, you would have been poor!" Xu Mei looked at Xu Zehua with disdain, "Since you married my mother and inherited my grandfather's property, you should return your current property to me! Because I am my mother's only blood!"

"Meimei, you..." Xu Zehua was angry and anxious, but was afraid that the words would hurt the relationship between father and daughter.

"Xu Mei! How can you talk to Dad like this?!" Xu Yue couldn't bear it anymore and glared at Xu Mei.

"You have no right to speak here! I'm talking to Dad, why do you outsiders interrupt me!" Xu Mei immediately retorted, glaring at Xu Yue, and didn't forget to sternly scold Xu's mother.

"Meimei, Yueyue means that it's okay for you to talk to your dad, but you should talk properly." Xu's mother quickly said something to smooth things over.

"Is what I just said hard to understand?! Let me say it again, when I'm talking to my dad, outsiders are not allowed to interrupt! Don't even think about interrupting!" Xu Mei raised her voice and scolded.
