"Miss Lacey, I don't quite understand what you mean."
Mei Lu opened her mouth, still thinking of avoiding the important and taking the light of the light. Many of these things are not something she can decide as the eldest daughter, even the owner of the house, Huoth, dare not promise now.
Perhaps in the eyes of outsiders, the Helis family is one of the five largest chambers of commerce in Hopeland, and it is very powerful, but only she knows that the inside of the Helis family has gradually been gradually differentiated, and the main family has gradually been unable to control the overall situation. At this time Standing in line will only make this internal rift bigger and bigger.
It wasn't that she didn't know what Roland Hill meant, but she couldn't speak.
"More than ten years ago, Karites and Helis fought over the spice trade at that time, do you know this?" Roland Hill looked at the fire in the fireplace, the wood was burning quietly, and occasionally faint sounds were heard. of crackling.
"I probably know something." Mei Lu seemed to have thought of something, her face a little unnatural.
"At that time, considering the future development, Lord Angus was willing to put aside prejudices and conflicts, take a step back and give up the spice industry in the Southern Islands, and the previous generation of the Helis family also reciprocated, and sold their own forest farms and some manors. Let it go. In this way, the two sides put aside their prejudices, help each other, and finally stabilize their market and position in the alliance. "
"But no one thought that the always loyal Helis family would actually set up a game for the head of the Karites, trying to use a child of his own to obtain the inheritance of Karites and split the chamber of commerce."
"Does Miss Meilu know about this matter?" Having said this, Roland Hill slowly raised his head, and his eyes turned to the opposite Helis parent daughter again.
"I... ..I probably know something." Looking at Roland Hill's stunning blue pupils, she could only admit bitterly.
This matter is indeed inappropriate by the Helis family, and the reconciliation after the event has never been told to Angus. I thought that ten years had passed, and Angus was no longer there. Everything has passed. Who would have thought that the new head of the Karites family still knew the truth.
"Uncle Ceres was the last time he was a coachman today, and he sent me to visit. After tomorrow, he will resign from his job at home and go to the south to retire and never come back."
Roland Hill continued to talk about something that seemed to be unrelated, but Meru understood that this meant that all the actions and weaknesses of their Helis family had already been seen through by this eldest lady.
Is there no way out? Mei Lu looked down at the teacup, where scattered green tea leaves slowly flowed in the cup, and then sank to the bottom of the cup.
Recalling the childhood scene, everything seems like yesterday, when my grandfather was still alive, the uncles in the family gathered together, often ate together, and talked to each other about where there are new raw materials recently, and which routes have good profit margins. , which new product is popular with everyone, it is very lively.
As the eldest daughter in the family, she often entertains those younger brothers and sisters, taking them to play, read books, and fly kites. Her uncles often praise her and bring her gifts from various places in the Seven Kingdoms of Xuehua. happy time.
But with the death of my grandfather and my father's taking over, everything has slowly turned bad. As soon as my father came up, he messed up a few projects, and the uncles were dissatisfied and resentful, so they gradually stopped obeying the orders of the master, and the father also felt that he was not the material, and began to indulge himself, indulge in pleasures, and no longer meddle in family affairs. , so that she has been making up her mind in recent years.
But she is just a daughter, her seniority and seniority can't hold back those uncles, and even the younger brothers and sisters who used to know each other have become indifferent, and sometimes there are conflicts.
As the heat slowly dissipated, the tea in the cup gradually became cooler, and the tea leaves no longer fluttered, just like stagnant water, Mei Lu raised her head and said in a low voice.
"I'm very sorry, Miss Lacey, the current Helis family is not qualified to be your ally."
"Why do you say that?"
"Maybe it's still the gorgeous camellia, but the branches under the petals have long been separated. I can only represent one of them. The Helis family has long been divided."
"According to the law, your main family still holds more than 50% of the shares." Lorraine Hill was not disappointed.
"That's just legal. The trade unions of the Verga Business Alliance are not like the king of the kingdom. They have so much power. They are mostly local self-government. How much restraint do you have to manage yourself?"
"But you still have more than 50% of the legal shares. This is irrefutable justice." Roland Hill repeated again, his pupils reflecting the fire, as if there were flames burning in it.
"I understand, but..."
"But don't you dare to take back what belongs to you?" Roland Hill interrupted Meru's words.
"But can you just watch your family fall apart in your generation?"
"Wait is nothing." Roland Hill put the teacup on the table.
"After taking back the rights and everything, your relatives and uncles may have a big fight and resentment, but they still have to rely on you, and there will still be times when they will sit together again. If they split up, their family property would have been If you are not in the right position, you will be even more afraid of your pursuit in the future, so you will have darker thoughts and ideas."
"Mei Lu, you shouldn't want to see the worst outcome."
"I... ... ."
Mei Lu looked at the dreamy girl in a black dress in front of her. She was admonishing like an angel and bewitching like a demon, and she was speechless for a while.
Loren Hill didn't ask Meru to answer immediately, she knew that the change in concepts and habits would take time to digest slowly.
"The First Cause of All Realms"
Then she stood up, walked to the fireplace, took down the teapot that was roasting by the fire, and refilled Meru and her own cups with boiling tea.
Mei Lu sat quietly on the sofa, watching the hot tea tilted out from the pot, crossed an arc, and a burst of white mist rose, and then flowed into the white gold-rimmed porcelain cup, and the bottom of the cup sank. The tea leaves rolled in the hot water again, the light green tea leaves in the amber liquid, like a small boat undulating in the stormy waves.
Helis, a yellow-green two-color camellia, blooms in winter and spring, with abundant flowers, dignified and elegant.
"Only camellia is durable, and it can only capture the spring breeze in the deep moon." - Juqiqi (Song Zeng Jili) in eastern rhyme
"I see, Lacey-sama, can you give me a little time?"
Mei Lu raised her head, looked at Roland Hill, and showed a relieved smile. Under the light of the fire, her long chestnut-blond hair reflected a faint light.
