Chapter 181 - Lonely (1/2)

”Wow! This is really something” Minde exclaimed in surprise. ”Why did she just cut off her family like that?”

Muchen had been surprised to see the news also. He thought maybe he was seeing things. But Minde's surprise reaction when he came to meet Muchen in his room confirmed it was correct.

Muchen still kept a straight face as he pondered on the issue. Changyu was a very complicated and difficult woman so no one could tell her plans or what she was up to.

”I'm sure a lot of families and corporations would be celebrating now.” Minde added.

The Songs were at the top of the social ranking obviously because of Changyu. Even though she hadn't been in the country, the kind of influence she had extended to many countries and because of that, they always want to suck up to the arrogant Songs.

But now that she was out, the Songs were nothing more than an average wealthy family.

Like an ordinary elite family.

”What a pity. The Song corporation shares must be dropping by now.” Minde added again. At this point, he felt like he was actually having a conversation with himself since Muchen wasn't contributing at all.

”They'll bounce back soon enough. They have the Yangs.” Muchen finally said something.

”And why did you just barge inside my room?” He remembered to ask.

Minde didn't bother to answer his question  and just continued with his ”Bro, does it mean the Li family is at the very top now?” He asked with his gaze still fixed on the video.

”Something feels strangely familiar” His forehead wrinkled as he thought deeply.

Muchen looked at him and shook his head.  Minde actually looked funny when he was all serious, especially now that he was wearing a suit and tie.

”You should go change your suit. You don't want to make them all think you're from a wealthy family” Muchen advised.

Minde raised his head to look at him and blinked. ”But all my suits are expensive.” He whined.

”Find something less expensive or go get a new less expensive suit before you go over to the company”

Minde stomped his foot on the ground in aggravation before leaving Muchen's room.

He still couldn't believe he'll be working and more so, he had to go by an entirely different identity with forged documents so no one would be able to guess he was actually from  the Li family. ”The moment they find out, you'll go abroad” Li Sun had threatened him.

Muchen clicked on the video again and looked intently at Changyu. He was able to guess why Minde felt something seemed familiar. For some unknown reason, he saw Sara in Changyu.

Changyu's car stopped in front of the dilapidated restaurant building. She looked at it with sad eyes before entering inside with unsteady steps.

Once inside the dark empty building, her legs gave away and she fell to the ground.

She looked at the file in her hand and remembered some of the contents in it.

Elder Wang had been arrested for using opium poppy—which was banned in the country, to get people addicted to his meal.

The government took control of the building immediately after his arrest. Since he was actually like the main owner, his wife was spared from it.

The case didn't drag on like most cases before he was proven guilty and jailed immediately.

It was at that point that Changyu realised something was wrong somewhere. Elder Wang died in prison a month after he was jailed while his wife died two months after her husband. From there, no one heard anything about Jianjun and Cixi.
