Shi Ran did not speak.
Mei Cong Lin continued: "Xiao Ran, I also know that the He Family is very good to you both. I'm very happy. Really, I feel very comfortable being treated well by you and your mother. I also admit that it was my fault in the past. I did a lot of wrong and a lot of silly things. But God has already punished me! Look at me now, old and childless, and the doctor says I'll never have another child in my life. "
Shi Ran still did not speak.
"Xiao Ran, I can tell you the truth. The tradition of the Mei Family had always been that men did not pass on their daughters. In other words, everything about the Mei Family, and about me, will be inherited by you in the end. " Mei Cong Lin continued to seduce Shi Ran, and said without hurry: "Even though you have an elder sister, you had already made the distribution of property a long time ago. Other than the rich dowry she could take, Mei Family's stocks, debts and real estate were all there. Those are all yours. "
"How long can I live? I'm in my sixties. I'll live another twenty or thirty years at most, and that's all. What about you? At that time, you were young and strong, and you needed financial support the most. With Mei Family's support and Mei Family's financial power, you can save yourself a lot of steps and trouble and directly climb to the peak. "
"You are only five years old right now, so you might not be able to understand what the Mei Family's wealth means. I can be in charge and tell you this, in the entire M city, no one dares to compete with the Mei Family in wealth! Yes, Mei Family is indeed inferior to He Family, to the extent that she can't even compare to one of He Family's fingers. But no matter how good He Family is, he is not yours. No matter how poor the Mei Family is, every single cent is yours. "
"You should know how hard it is for your mother to take you. I've asked around, when you were at your poorest, you only ate one meal a month. That was the money she had saved through her teeth. Xiao Ran, you have also entered the Ruihe Aristocrat Academy, you should be more clear of the importance of the starting point. Without a good starting point, what are you going to fight for? What do you have to be filial to your mother? Do you know how low the salary of a recently graduated student is? "
"Well, you can't understand these things, you can't understand them. But I will wait for you to grow up, for you to understand all this. I'll live for a day, just for a day. If you live for one year, you will live for one year. "When have you thought it through? You can come find me anytime." Mei Cong Lin then wrote his number on a piece of paper and pushed it to Shi Ran: "This is my phone, my private number. You can reach me around the clock. Even if you sought me out, and it wasn't for the sake of returning to the Mei Family, even if you had caused a great calamity … As long as you make this call, I'll settle everything for you! This is a father's confession! "
Shi Ran's eyes flashed for a long time before he finally opened his mouth and asked gently: "Are you saying, at any time?"
When Shi Ran finally opened his mouth, Mei Cong Lin's heart, all of a sudden, returned to his stomach.
He nodded with all his might. "Yes, anytime!"
Shi Ran lowered his head, thought for a long time, and said: "If I want to gain He Family's acknowledgement, is it actually not that easy?"
Obtain the recognition of the He Family?
What he meant was —
A bold thought flashed across Mei Cong Lin's mind. This thought caused Mei Cong Lin's excited fingers to tremble: Could it be that Shi Ran's meaning was that he wanted to be together with He Shen He? He wants to be the son-in-law of the He Family? Oh my god! If that was really the case, then Mei Family would completely stand as one of the first-rate families!
Mei Cong Lin suppressed the agitation in his heart and asked: "You like Young Lady He very much?"
Shi Ran's eyes flashed evasively, and he did not directly answer the question.
But, Mei Cong Lin had already understood it!
Shi Ran was still young after all, and wouldn't conceal his emotions.
In front of the scheming and scheming Mei Cong Lin, he had no strength to fight.
"If that's the case, Father will make sure you get your wish even if it means risking the entire Mei Family!" Mei Cong Lin immediately became serious, and said in a low voice: "Son, well done! You and Young Lady He grew up together, so you naturally wouldn't be able to guess at anything! When Young Lady He hadn't grown up, he would firmly grasp her heart! In that case, the future will all be yours! "
"That's not what I meant." Shi Ran lowered his head and said.
"Whether it's that or not, you can still make the necessary preparations." Mei Cong Lin continued to lower his voice and said, "Son, think carefully. What was the He Family like? Although the power of the He Family no longer needed to be matched up against others. But do you really think you don't? Would the He Family really choose an ordinary kid to be their son-in-law? Although Mei Family is nothing, but it will at least let you increase your chance to compete! Young Lady He's appearance was already exquisite and overbearing at such a young age. When she grew up, she would definitely be a beauty that could topple nations. I can't say that I have 10,000 suitors for this kind of woman, but I can't say that I have 8,000, can I? Is it that easy for you to stand out? "
Shi Ran's face slightly flushed.
He's only five years old!
But he also really liked Shen He.
She was just like an angel, always gentle and kind, always brave and cute. She was the only girl who could walk into his heart.
He did like her.
"We'll see." Shi Ran stood up in a sorry state. Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly stood still and said urgently: "I will think it over carefully! I can't stay here for too long. They'll come looking for me. I'll go first. Goodbye! "
With that, Shi Ran turned and left with the ice cream in his hand.
Mei Cong Lin looked at Shi Ran's back, and the corner of his mouth raised into a smile.
As long as he had a goal, everything would be fine!
He was not afraid of having no desire, he was afraid of not having a goal!
Sure enough, not long after Shi Ran returned to his original position, a bodyguard came over.
Seeing Shi Ran obediently standing at the same place, the bodyguard immediately let out a breath, and quickly came over and said: "Young Master Xiao Ran, we finally found you. Let's hurry up and go back! "
Shi Ran nodded lightly: "Ok. Just a moment ago, they were pushed away by the crowd. This is the ice cream I bought for Xiao He. "
The bodyguard quickly held Shi Ran's hand and walked back.
Shi Ran took two steps, gently turned his head, and looked at the place where Mei Cong Lin was just standing.
There was no one there.
Shi Ran slowly turned his head.
Although he hadn't officially recognized Mei Cong Lin yet, he didn't plan to recognize this father either.
However, Mei Cong Lin's words still entered his ears.
Yes, if he wanted to be with Shen He for a long time, then he was destined to be no ordinary boy.
He had to at least be worthy of Shen He.
Then, should I return to the Mei Family?
No, I can't go back!
Don't hurt Mom!
Then, should he think of a way to not only not need to return to the Mei Family, but also get help from the Mei Family?
The five year-old Shi Ran fell into deep thought.
There was no hurry. He still had a lot of time to slowly think through this problem.
