Shancai Rebirth: My Choice

"Okay, okay, be good and stop making trouble." Lei coaxed her softly.

Shanlai seemed to be awake, but also seemed not to be. She stopped crying and just looked at him with her eyes open.

Lei stretched out his hand to pinch her face in a funny way, but she slapped him away and said, "I want to take a shower." Then she stood up and tried to get out of bed, her face still flushed from being drunk.

He couldn't do anything with her, so he had to coax her first and fill the bathtub with water before coming to call her.

When he came over, she had already fallen asleep on the bed. She was very well behaved in her sleep, no longer looking as aggressive as she was just now.

He just smiled dotingly, soaked a towel with warm water first, then gently wiped her face and hands, and covered her with a quilt carefully.

Afraid that she would have a headache after waking up, he went downstairs in advance to prepare some honey water for her and brought it to the room. He coaxed and tricked her into feeding her two spoonfuls of water before letting her lie down again.

After finishing all this, seeing that it was getting late, he took a shower before going to bed, and contentedly pulled her into his arms.

"My little cat," he murmured.

……

After Ximen sent Xiaoyou home, he drove to Meizuo's home alone. Meizuo was holding a wine glass in his left hand and an iPad in his right hand, looking at something with a sad face.

He was more familiar with the American writers' home than his own. He took the whiskey next to him and poured himself a glass. "What are you reading?" I sat next to him, took a sip of the whiskey, and then tilted my head to look at the iPad in his hand.

Seeing how interested he was, Mei Zuo simply handed him the iPad and said, "Take a look."

Simon was not polite at all. He swiped his fingers casually on the screen. Halfway through, he stopped and looked at the text carefully.

He frowned as he read on, "No wonder Mrs. Huo was so polite to Nadel. She didn't blame her for throwing Huo Cheng down from the second floor during the banquet that day. So that's how it is." He scrolled up the text as he spoke.

Meizuo stroked his hair and took a sip of whiskey. "The election is only going to be held in the next few days, right?"

"Yeah." Simon answered nonchalantly.

Suddenly thinking of something, Simon turned to look at Meizuo, "Haven't Nadel and his sister returned yet? Could it be..."

Misaku nodded, straightened up, picked up a dart from the table and threw it out quickly and accurately, hitting the center of the bull's eye.

Not satisfied with just one, he threw three more in a row, and each one hit the bull's eye.

Ximen crossed his legs and watched Meizuo throwing darts, rubbing his brow tiredly.

For a wealthy family, no matter how big or small the matter is, it is a matter, and often one small move can affect the entire body.

The Ximen family will definitely participate in the Huo family's election this time. As for Ah Si, it is not clear what his mother Dao Mingfeng thinks. As for Lei, their family will not participate. As for Mei Zuo...

He wasn't sure either.

"Mei Zuo, what does your family think?" Ximen shook his wine glass and looked towards Mei Zuo intentionally or unintentionally.

Mei Zuo was silent, but his silence already expressed his attitude.

"On the day of the election, Deng and Yin happened to return to China." Mei Zuo said lightly, with little emotional fluctuation, and it was impossible to guess the true meaning of his words.

"What?" Simon sat up from the sofa. How come he didn't know this news?

Deng He's family also has people in the Z world. If Deng Heyin comes back, he might be able to reverse the current situation. If the Huo family is smart, they will get in touch with Deng Heyin, and it will be easy for them to win the election.

"Few people know that Mr. and Mrs. Deng Heyin are back, but the Huo family should take action soon." Mei Zuo put down the dart and looked at his good brother seriously, his tone more serious than ever before.

Ximen was silent. He also knew the interests involved in this matter. When he heard Mei Zuo say that Deng and Yin would come back on the day of the election, he almost jumped up.

He was on pins and needles and wished he could fly back and tell his parents about it.

"If you can make good use of this opportunity, Simon, maybe your father can give it a try." Mei Zuo turned to look at his good brother and slowly expressed his truest thoughts after knowing this matter.

Ximen's family used to have people in high positions, and his father's words carried a lot of weight in both the Z and the military circles. If his father also ran for election, it might be possible that their family could move to a higher level.

Ximen's father was also considered a disciple of Mr. Huo, and Mr. Huo valued this favorite student very much. He avoided the election to avoid suspicion.

It was different when Deng Heyin and his wife returned to China.

The election has not started yet, which means the outcome is still undecided.

Before that, you can still change some things, such as adding a candidate.

With the resources and connections of the Ximen family, as long as they run for election, their chances of winning are very high. Not 100%, but at least 70 to 80 percent.

Ximen couldn't sit still anymore. This was a major matter involving the interests of the family. It was different from the usual minor fights, so he stood up and walked out.

Mei Zuo reminded him from behind, "If you have time, you can communicate with Deng Heyin first."

Simon's feet stopped, he stayed there for a few seconds and then hurried out.

After picking up the darts on the table, Misaku smiled bitterly and shook his head. The heirs of wealthy families could not escape the fate of doing anything for profit.

The four of them are good brothers who grew up together and understand each other's temper, so there is no problem of any disagreement.

If the Ximen family could be selected, it might not be a bad thing for the rest of them. Many things would be much easier to do and would no longer have to go through some dirty hands.

Thinking of this, the expression on Misaku's face relaxed.

……

When Shanlai woke up the next day, she felt a splitting headache. She took a deep breath and rubbed her swollen and painful temples with her hands.

Where is this?

"Awake?" A voice sounded above her head.

Shan Lai slowly raised her head, and what came into her sight was his handsome face full of smiles, and his pajamas that hung loosely on his chest but could not hide his naked body.

She quickly sat up from the bed. What did she do last night?

"You you you, me me, you..." She pointed at Lei, then pointed at herself, her little face flushed red and she couldn't utter a complete sentence.

Lei was originally looking at her with his head supported by his hands. Now he slowly sat up and leaned against the head of the bed. "Don't you know what you did to me last night? Have you forgotten?" As he spoke, his eyes became red, as if he had suffered a great injustice.

Shan Lai was completely stunned. What did she do last night?

She only remembered that at Ximen's house, Senior Sister Jing hugged her when she left, and she had no recollection of what happened next.
