Chapter 1199: She was the Strategist Back Then

Mengyu felt quite emotional; this Nan Ming was indeed quite a character. He bought a courtyard for his "foster sister" to live in, yet couldn’t bear to transfer the property to her name, and the name on the title deed was Nan Ming’s own.

After the Nan Family compensated Nan Mengyu with Nan Ming’s personal wealth, Nan Xiao disguised himself as Nan Ming before his "death from illness," took the household registration, not only withdrew Nan Ming’s savings and deposited them under Mengyu’s account, but also sold his dozens of properties to "Yuxing." Of course, the money from selling the properties was also given to Mengyu.

Even Nan Ming’s company had its legal representative changed to Xiangjiang people from Yuxing.

However, Nan Ming’s villa in the Nan Family and the courtyard where Gan Hua lived were transferred to "Nan Mengyu."

Of course, Mengyu’s surname was also changed to Nan by Nan Xiao.

All these matters were handled by Nan Xiao without Mengyu having to exert any effort.

"You’re the owner of the courtyard, can you produce the title deed?" Mengyu asked Gan Hua with a half-smile. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

Gan Hua was once again at a loss for words.

Yes, the two-section courtyard where Gan Hua lived with her son was indeed bought by Nan Ming for her.

But when handling the title deed, it was Nan Ming who took care of it. Once it was done, Nan Ming took it away, claiming it was safer in the safe at his home.

Therefore, she had long regarded Cuiming Road No. 12 as her own courtyard, putting in a lot of effort over it.

Just to restore this courtyard, she spent one hundred thousand, and though this money was also asked from Nan Ming.

One hundred thousand, not ten thousand, nor one thousand. At a time when everyone’s monthly salary was only tens of yuan, she spent one hundred thousand to restore this courtyard to its former grandeur with red walls and green tiles.

She had always fantasized that Nan Ming would move in, become the master of this grand household, and she the matriarch. She even hired two servants to attend to her.

Yet never did she imagine that one day she would be driven out of this courtyard.

What about the money she spent?

If Nan Ming were still around, no one would dare treat her like this, but now the key issue was, Nan Ming wasn’t here anymore.

In the fury of the moment, she spoke recklessly: "How come you didn’t die in Xiayao Village? You shouldn’t have returned to Capital City, you shouldn’t have returned to the Nan Family!"

After discovering Nan Ming had a foster sister, Mengyu had long suspected that this Gan Hua might know about the switch between herself and Mingzhu, and might have even participated in persecuting her.

But before, she merely had suspicions.

Now hearing Gan Hua’s words, she became certain of these suspicions.

"You know Xiayao Village? No way, you’ve been to Xiayao Village?" Nan Mengyu stared fiercely at Gan Hua.

Back then, it was Li Chunhua who went out front to sell her to the human traffickers. She always found it strange; human traffickers were typically men, Nan Ming’s emissaries interacting with the Jiang Family should have contacted Jiang Haidong.

But why was it Li Chunhua who faced them to sell? In local customs, if a man is home, he should be the one dealing with such matters. There’s no reason a man at home would let a woman handle it.

Moreover, how did Jiang Family’s parents connect with the Human Trafficking Group back then?

She was certain that when she was young, Nan Ming didn’t have people monitoring her. He should have merely instructed the Jiang Family’s parents to suppress her, preventing her from standing out before leaving.

Otherwise, even if she collected scraps to pay for tuition, she probably wouldn’t have been able to study, much less been allowed to attend university early.
