Chapter 1136: Since When Did Our Family Have This Much Money?

Yu Meilin didn't think much. Under normal circumstances, she would naturally believe Hou Shihong's words. Being told to go upstairs to get ready, Yu Meilin happily walked toward the corridor.         

    

As soon as she took two steps, she suddenly saw a figure quietly hiding behind the wall. The figure would appear every now and then, and as if she was afraid Yu Meilin might see her, she immediately pulled her body back.     

Yu Meilin sighed and walked towards her. She grabbed the figure's arm and said, "Why are you hiding here? Don't you just want to know whether your father managed to prepare the money or not? Come out, stop hiding."     

This person was none other than Wei Xiaoqing.     

That night, Wei Xiaoqing, just like Yu Meilin, couldn't sleep at all. She stayed awake until dawn, and when she heard Yu Meilin's room door open, she quickly followed her from behind.     

Since Wei Xiaoqing was afraid of being discovered by Yu Meilin and Hou Shihong, she could only hide behind the corridor wall and peek around.     

Seeing how straight Yu Meilin was, Wei Xiaoqing didn't hesitate to nod. "Yes, I want to know."     

"You don't have to worry about that." Yu Meilin took Wei Xiaoqing's hand and led her upstairs. She said proudly, "Even though your father seems like a difficult person to get along with, but if he says he can do it, he will definitely do it!"     

"Now, come with me and get cleaned up. Then we'll go to the police station and see how Liang Zixuan and Han Yuanjun will handle this matter. We'll definitely bring the child back safely!"     

Wei Xiaoqing didn't actually trust Hou Shihong, but since Yu Meilin had said so, she couldn't possibly personally check whether or not Hou Shihong had really prepared the money.     

Wei Xiaoqing continued to look at the corridor and nodded absent-mindedly. "Okay, I understand."     

Of course, Yu Meilin knew what Wei Xiaoqing was thinking, but she paid no attention to it. She pulled Wei Xiaoqing into her room and personally watched her enter. Only then did Yu Meilin return to her room to clean up.

Hou Shihong carried bag after bag towards the door. Large black and lacquered bags, about 20 in total, blocked the entrance.     

When Yu Meilin went downstairs and saw a mountain of black leather bags gathered in front of the entrance, her eyes widened in surprise. "Are these bags filled with money?"     

Hou Shihong clutched his waist and stood up, gasping. "If it's not money, then what else?"     

Yu Meilin didn't dare to imagine that there was a hundred million cash in those bags!     

When Hou Shihong saw that she was dumbfounded, he explained thoughtfully. "Not all of the money is in RMB, half of the money is in US dollars. Otherwise, it's impossible for me to put all the money in these bags."     

"Old Hou, that's not what I'm confused about!" Yu Meilin also changed the way she called him. "Since when did our family have this much money? Let alone in cash? How come I don't know?"     

Hou Shihong immediately frowned. He quickly showed Yu Meilin his dignity as the boss of a big company. Even his voice became sharper. "Do I've to tell you everything about my money? This is all money to save our family's life! Yu Meilin, let me tell you, in the future, don't ask for money from me again. I don't have it anymore! Everything is here!"     

Shiitake mushrooms!     

Yu Meilin didn't dare to imagine that Hou Shihong had so much money in his hands.     

This meant, if she divorced Hou Shihong, he could still live a carefree life worth 100 million!     

If so, how much could she get?     

Yu Meilin felt upset just thinking about it.     

She bent down and reached for the zipper of one of the bags. Hou Shihong's heart immediately skipped a beat and he quickly slapped Yu Meilin's hand. "What are you doing?"         

    

Yu Meilin frowned and said sadly, "Can't I see it? I've never seen this much cash in my life!"     

"What is there to see?!"     

Hou Shihong stood in front of the bag without changing his expression. "This money belongs to someone else now. It will only upset you more when you see it. All right, that's enough. Don't look at it anymore."     

Yu Meilin did not argue with him further either. On the other hand, she felt that Hou Shihong's words were reasonable and made sense.     

This money now belonged to He Wuhan. Even if He Wuhan was caught later on and the money would be returned to them, that would happen later.     

Since they had already taken the money out to give it to someone else, they could not take it back.     

"You are right..." Yu Meilin pursed her lips and said, "This money no longer belongs to us. There's no point for me to see it."     

Hou Shihong breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. If Yu Meilin really wanted to see the money, with her cautious personality, she would definitely open each bag and then take out the pile of money. If that happened, she would indirectly expose himself, exposing that he had prepared fake money!     

At that time, if Yu Meilin forced him to give his money, it would be very troublesome.     

"Dad, mom!" When Wei Xiaoqing saw so many black bags, she ran downstairs happily, "Do these bags contain all the money we are going to give to He Wuhan?"     

Hou Shihong was too lazy to explain it again. Seeing that Wei Xiaoqing had arrived, he immediately said, "Since everyone is here, let's go!"     

"Wait!"     

Behind them, Hou Zexian's cold voice was suddenly heard.     

Hou Shihong stopped walking and his face sank. He turned around and looked at Hou Zexian impatiently. "What else do you want?"     

Hou Zexian was wearing a suit today. Even his hair was neatly combed. Compared to his appearance yesterday, he looked so handsome today that it looked like he was going on a blind date.     

Oh no!     

Even when Hou Zexian was forced to go on a blind date, he didn't dress like this.     

"I'll go with you." Hou Zexian said casually as he put his hand in his pocket.     

Hou Shihong was so angry that he immediately scolded Hou Zexian. "What do you want to do? Do you want to see Liang Zixuan? Zexian, look at how you followed Liang Zixuan's tail yesterday, did she spare a glance at you? Let me tell you, she's already married! Not only that, she's already married to a man ten times better than you. You can't marry her for the rest of your life!"     

When Yu Meilin saw Hou Zexian's face darken, she knew that Hou Shihong had hurt her son's pride. She quickly said, "All right, stop arguing! Zexian, we'll be very busy today and no one will bother you at home. You can do whatever you want later here. Go get changed and don't cause any more trouble, okay?"     

"I'm not a three-year-old child! Stop dictating my life!" Hou Zexian glared at Hou Shihong with disgust, "There are so many bags there, can you transport them all in one car?"     

Hou Shihong: "...."     

He really didn't think about it at all.     

If Hou Zexian hadn't suddenly mentioned it, he really wouldn't have thought about it.     

Seeing that Hou Shihong had no words to retort, Hou Zexian laughed proudly. "In a moment, just drive your car by the entrance and put as many bags as you can in the trunk. I'll drive the MPV and carry the rest of the bags. When the time comes, I'll drop them directly in front of the entrance of the police station. I'm just a free driver."
