Su Lin flopped on the hotel bed, with her body tired and her mind heavy. The bed was so soft and fluffy. The sheets were silky smooth and pleasantly cool.
She almost didn't want to get up from the bed at all. But unfortunately, she had quite a bit of work to do.
She walked out to the patio and sucked in a breath of fresh air. Holding up to the standards of a 7-star hotel, her room also had an amazing view.
From atop that tall hotel, the brightly lit city looked magical. Su Lin sat down in the patio chair and opened her bank documents to take a look at her funding status.
This was not bad. Not bad at all...
Even though the old Su Lin was treated miserably and pitifully, she still managed to save a little over a million yuan. You go, girl!
Apparently, her grandfather-in-law had been giving her pretty generous birthday allowances.
"Well, with this much money, my plan should go at least a little bit smoother than expected."
It was time to head outside again. Su Lin changed into a new set of clothes. Nothing fancy. Due to the lack of better options, she just casually wore a dull pair of jeans and a plain purple shirt.
She then stepped out of the hotel, hailed a cab, and headed straight to the antique district, famous in Hangzhou city for its wide array of herbal shops and traditional Chinese medical shops.
...
Meanwhile...
"I don't have time for this nonsense. Give me a brief report." Shi Meng's stern and cold voice echoed in the silent office room.
Cautiously and nervously, the head butler narrated the happenings of that day.
"Young mistress came back home from the hospital in a rush and cleaned out her room. She then visited a bank and closed out her account, withdrawing all her savings."
"After that, she checked into the Gallery 7-star hotel and booked a room."
"Currently, she is in a Chinese medical shop. We have two men following her discreetly. I didn't want to confront her without your orders boss."
"She might be potentially planning to create a public scene this time around."
The butler concisely finished his report, even adding his prudent insights.
Gazing outside his gigantic office windows into the pitch-black night sky, Shi Meng indifferently replied, "Let her be."
He lazily picked up another file from his desk and started scanning through it.
That was his cue. The head butler slightly bowed and silently left the office.
As he was leaving, Shi Meng further added, "Let her be for now. But if she causes even the smallest commotion, immediately restrain her and bring her back to the manor."
The man massaged his temples and went back to his work. For some reason, he had a really bad feeling about this whole situation.
Noticing his restlessness, the tall voluptuous woman standing next to Shi Meng, voiced her thoughts in a gentle harmonious tone.
"Umm... Sir... It is a bit worrisome and concerning that the young madam is so superstitious and naive in this day and age."
"Chinese herbal treatment might be good for the common cold but for terminal cancer? I sincerely hope madam doesn't eat anything weird and worsen her last few days."
Shi Meng's Chief Director Yin Yue tilted her head to a side looking very sympathetic.
But without sparing her a glance, Shi Meng absentmindedly replied, "Hmm. Where are the Tianxin city bridge proposals ?"
"Here you go, boss." Gritting her teeth, she handed over the files.
Shi Meng again buried himself in the new set of papers.
Such a workaholic... Disappointedly, Yin Yue closed the door and walked over to her office.
Sitting at her desk, she couldn't help but sigh in exasperation. It was already 8 in the night, and she was still in the office, working hard like a maniac.
"Ah shit! It looks like I might have to work a few more hours..." The beautiful woman cursed.
"But what do I get?! Just a glance or a nod. It's been 5 years already, damn it!!"
Yin Yue still couldn't digest the fact that Shi Meng was married to a loser like Su Lin.
The woman a nobody, an orphan. She didn't even have any talent in business or any other field. And the toad dared to eat her swan meat!!
"Atleast that bitch is getting what's coming to her. Ha Ha. Good Luck, Su Lin. Hope you eat something weird and die a little sooner." Yin Yue smirked.
She already had plans set in place to become the new Mrs. Meng. She needed to do better... She needed to get his attention at least this time around ...
Loosening her long dark curls, which fell on her shoulders like a waterfall, Yin Yue fixed her glasses and focussed on the documents in front of her.
