Maximize Interest, My Money Grows Infinitely-Chapter 211 - 173 The Greedy Widow_4

Mei Xiang ran out following him but failed to stop Chen Cheng who had made up his mind.

She angrily turned around, eyes reddened, fists clenched, looking at her stepmother.

"Mother, I hope you can seriously consider Mr. Chen’s proposal. I know you want to maximize your own interests, but this is not the best choice for Xingye Products."

"You also know that Xingye Products is facing a huge crisis now. If we can’t get financial injection in time, the company might go bankrupt. By then, not to mention the 1.1% share, we might not even be able to keep this house!"

Mei Xiang’s voice was not loud, but every word resonated with strength.

Yahata Reina looked at the stepdaughter she had lived with day and night, yet had always overlooked, and this was the first time she had ever talked back to her like this.

"Mother, I know you don’t believe in love, nor do you trust men. When you married my father, it was for money."

"But I believe in Mr. Chen; he is a trustworthy person. Moreover, I believe that he is the only one who can help Xingye Products out of its difficulties!"

Mei Xiang’s eyes were burning, and her body was trembling.

She pointed in the direction of the ancestral hall and said, "If you do this, you will only destroy the family business that grandfather and father built up!"

Reina Yahata was stunned by Mei Xiang’s words. She had never seen such a strong side to Mei Xiang, nor had she ever imagined Mei Xiang would say such things.

"You... you..." Reina Yahata was so angry that she trembled all over, pointing at Mei Xiang, yet unable to utter a complete sentence.

"What about me?"

Mei Xiang’s eyes reddened, but she stubbornly refused to cry. "Did I say anything wrong? Did you really marry father because of love? Do you really care about the future of Xingye Products?"

Reina Yahata was rendered speechless by Mei Xiang’s questions. She couldn’t deny that Mei Xiang’s words struck her where it hurt.

Back then, she indeed married Osuke Xingye for his money.

At that time, she was just a poor-born Oiran while Osuke Xingye was the president of Xingye Products, a multimillionaire.

She didn’t deny that she had never had real feelings for Osuke Xingye, only coveting the affluent life she desired.

She might lack business acumen, but she knew the value of the shares well, so she had been carefully protecting them, considering them her final security.

Now that Osuke Xingye was gone, she realized the company would be passed to Mei Xiang.

But her relationship with Mei Xiang was like water and fire, she worried whether this stepdaughter might kick her out. freёwebnoѵel.com

Therefore, she wanted to sell the stock at a premium, stake her claim on the house, and continue to enjoy the luxurious life that Xingye Products afforded her.

"Mother, Mr. Chen is the lifesaver for Xingye Products; I must seize him."

Hoshino Mei Xiang continued, "He has already helped us deal with the suppliers’ debts this afternoon. He is capable."

Reina Yahata’s eyes revealed a touch of shock.

"If we don’t agree to him now, Xingye Products really is doomed." Mei Xiang collapsed onto the tatami, "If not for him, those debt collectors..."

Mei Xiang didn’t finish her sentence, but Reina Yahata could tell, those tall and burly debtors would definitely not reason with them, two weak women.

Reina Yahata’s heart skipped.

Mei Xiang knelt down, "Mother, I know it has not been easy for you, but please consider it for father’s sake, think it over again!"

Reina Yahata stared at the kneeling stepdaughter before her, eyes complex.

Mei Xiang’s words, like a sharp knife, pierced through the facade of strength she had always put up, and forced her to face her inner fears and fragility for the first time.

Over the years, she had been the toast of the town, living in a mansion in a wealthy district, traveling with a private chauffeur, but deep inside, she never felt secure.

She feared losing it all, afraid that others would see through her inner emptiness and helplessness.

Yet Mei Xiang, youthful and beautiful, shrewd and capable, personally groomed by Osuke Xingye as the successor, all these were deep threats to her.

However, when Xingye Products truly faced a crisis, when those fierce and menacing debtors came knocking, she realized how fragile and unreliable the money and status she relied on were.

And Mei Xiang, whom she had always rejected, was genuinely willing to protect Xingye Products.

"Mei Xiang..." Reina Yahata’s voice choked, "I..."
