She loved Er Zhu so deeply, how could she bear to give him away to someone else? Yet, now, she had no choice but to do so!
Thinking of her own appearance, neither human nor ghost, and of Er Zhu's enemies outside, Li Mei's heart was a complex mix of emotions.
"Alright, Sister Li Mei, stop being so melodramatic. I believe you'll be back to your old self. Besides, if Er Zhu wanted me, we would have been together already…"
As a woman, Wang Xiaomei understood Li Mei's feelings perfectly, yet she still refused.
As the head of a top noble family in Kyoto, her excellent upbringing did not permit her to take advantage of someone's misfortune!
Moreover, the person involved was Er Zhu!
"Other than you, I want no one else!"
Just as Li Mei was about to speak, Er Zhu's voice rang out from the doorway.
This line, which one would typically only find in cheesy romance novels, was now spoken by the usually steady and calm richest man in Kyoto!
If others were to hear this, their jaws would surely drop!
Li Mei gazed at Er Zhu before her with deep affection, nodding heavily, tears blurring her vision.
Wang Xiaomei's heart was filled with complex emotions. She slowly rose and quietly departed.
She had thought she still had a chance, but through this incident, she understood that she had no hope whatsoever!
Not just her, but anyone other than Li Mei had no hope!
Oh well, it was fine to be Er Zhu's friend. With the richest man in Kyoto protecting her Wang family, their future was infinitely bright!
The red sports car sped away like an arrow loosed from a bow. Wang Xiaomei felt completely at peace.
In the blink of an eye, a week had passed. While Li Mei's face still bore some marks, they had faded considerably.
At this opportune moment, Lin Qingqing and Liu Yan, who had just received the news, dragged Wang Xiaomei along to visit Li Mei.
"Tsk tsk, Er Zhu is truly amazing. He can even cure such severe disfigurement!"
"Indeed. I'm also here to discuss a collaboration with Er Zhu regarding the Muscle Regeneration Cream!"
"Me too. This Muscle Regeneration Cream is truly incredible, it's like a miracle drug!"
...
The three women's eyes shone as they looked at Li Mei's face, filled with shock and admiration!
"You can cooperate, but as far as I know, neither of your families has any business related to pharmaceuticals."
As the three women were chattering, Er Zhu's voice came from behind. Faced with his question, Lin Qingqing and Liu Yan waved their hands dismissively: "If we don't have it now, we can establish it. It's just a hospital, I'll open a few."
"That's right. Whatever Er Zhu does, our Liu family will follow!"
Before Lin Qingqing could finish speaking, Liu Yan beside her patted her chest and promised.
"Alright, but I need to cooperate with my foster father first. I've already promised him."
Hearing the two women say this, Er Zhu naturally had nothing more to say, but then he seemed to remember something and added.
"We don't care who you cooperate with first. We just hope you'll cooperate with us."
The two women answered while nodding their heads like pecking chicks.
"Master, there are visitors from Japan!"
As everyone was chatting happily, Lin Mo suddenly ran over, looking haggard and pale, reporting.
"Please invite them in."
Seeing Lin Mo giving him continuous signals, Er Zhu guessed who it was, but he maintained a calm demeanor.
The Shoutian family? It was no big deal. If they dared to be presumptuous, he'd just take them over!
"Mr. Wang, hello. I am Shotaro Shotian, the younger brother of Ichiro Shotian. I've come to understand the previous incident."
As soon as Shotaro Shotian entered, he bowed respectfully to Er Zhu and stated his purpose directly.
"There wasn't much, really. Your brother spoke out of turn, and I gave him a little lesson."
Without even letting Shotaro Shotian sit down, Er Zhu directly answered his question.
This made Shotaro Shotian feel Er Zhu's arrogance, and it also made him furious!
But thinking of his brother's fate, he could only endure it.
"My brother was certainly in the wrong, but I believe that as the richest man in Kyoto, Mr. Wang's actions were inappropriate, especially considering we are members of Japan's Shotian family!"
"But this is not Japan, this is China!"
Before Shotaro Shotian could finish speaking, Er Zhu interjected.
"Mr. Wang, are you intending to go to war with the Shotian family?"
Looking into Er Zhu's cold eyes, Shotaro Shotian did not back down, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes.
Although Wang Er Zhu was the richest man in Kyoto, as a top noble family in Japan, he was not afraid!
Because, Chinese people are all fools, all cowards!
"Yes."
Er Zhu did not hide anything, nodding gently.
"Hahaha… My Shotian family is a noble family with a hundred years of history. I'd like to ask Mr. Wang, what right do you, a poor boy from the countryside who came to develop in Kyoto, have to go to war with me?"
"Also, in Kyoto, we Japanese merchants have our own chamber of commerce. If you dare to go to war, I will gather all Japanese merchants in Kyoto to deal with you!"
Seeing Er Zhu nod, Shotaro Shotian let out a long roar, gnashing his teeth and yelling, his eyes filled with anger and threat!
He never expected a Chinese person to declare war on his Shotian family, it was simply defying heaven!
"Then I, Wang Xiaomei, will support Er Zhu, how about that?"
"If Er Zhu goes to war with the Shotian family, my Lin family will not stand idly by!"
"I will also stand on Er Zhu's side. On Chinese soil, it is not the place for Japanese people to run rampant!"
Before Er Zhu could speak, Wang Xiaomei, Lin Qingqing, and Liu Yan slowly descended the stairs.
They had originally intended to see the outcome of the negotiation, but they had unexpectedly heard Shotaro Shotian's arrogant words!
Simply outrageous!
"You are all willing to stand with Wang Er Zhu?"
Seeing the three women, Shotaro Shotian's eyes flashed with shock as he asked in disbelief.
He had thought Wang Er Zhu only had Elder Feng as a connection in Kyoto, but he hadn't expected him to have ties with three top noble families in Kyoto!
Moreover, judging by the indignant expressions of the three women, their relationship with Er Zhu seemed to be very close!
"Yes, and we will also unite with other Kyoto noble families. The Shotian family is bound to lose!"
As soon as Shotaro Shotian finished speaking, the three women replied in unison.
Hearing this, Shotaro Shotian clenched his jaw, his eyes darting around frantically.
If Wang Er Zhu were to go to war with the Shotian family alone, he would undoubtedly lose. But if it were like this…
However, it didn't matter. He also had the support of Japanese merchants operating in Kyoto. The Shotian family would never lose!
"Fine, you brought this upon yourselves. Don't regret it later!"
Thinking of those Japanese merchants, Shotaro Shotian's confidence soared. He glared fiercely at Er Zhu and the others, then stormed out in anger.
"Hmph, a small country of an insignificant island nation, I don't know where they get their superiority complex. If our China were like Country Bai, we would have already annexed them!"
Watching Shotaro Shotian's retreating back, Wang Xiaomei gave him a disdainful glance and muttered softly.
