Chapter 41: Inner Strength Improvement

Xia Qiulian's face turned blue and red , and after a long time she finally nodded.

"Yes, my brother said... he spent nearly 10 million! But I've taken care of the family more over the years, so it's only right that my brother gives me one or two expensive gifts!"

"Zhenyun was stubborn and wouldn't let me accept any expensive gifts, not even from my own brother. That's why I had to lie to Zhenyun and say... I only spent 980,000!"

"Don't blame me, old man. Look at the wives of other officials who have jewelry worth millions. I only have this pair of bracelets which are a bit more expensive. They were given to me by my own brother, so it can't be considered corruption or bribery!"

What Xia Qiulian said was reasonable.

However, reasonable does not mean legal.

Old Master Su's brows were twisted into big knots.

Tang Wenya looked at her grandfather and couldn't help asking, "The problem is... Uncle Xia is not a wealthy man. How can he have so much money to give away gifts worth nearly 10 million?"

"Although he is not a wealthy man, he has made some money over the years. It shouldn't be a problem for him to save some money to buy me an expensive gift!" said Xia Qiulian.

Old Master Su took a breath, suppressed his temper, and looked at Meng Hao with a smile again.

"Master Meng suddenly brought up this matter. Is there something strange going on here?"

Meng Hao pretended to think about it, then said, "This... I didn't want to say it, but... considering that the old man treats me so well, and Wen Ya treats Meng Xin like her own sister, if I don't say it, I'm afraid I will feel guilty if something happens in the future!"

"Something happened? What happened?"

Tang Wenya knew Meng Hao's abilities best. She was so frightened that she sat up straight and looked at Meng Hao eagerly.

Xia Qiulian glanced at Meng Hao indignantly.

"What on earth do you mean? You're talking as if I've committed a crime by accepting this bracelet! This was bought by my eldest brother as a gift to me. Let alone a pair of bracelets, even if my eldest brother gave me all his property, no one would dare to accuse me of corruption, right?"

"Your elder brother giving you a gift is indeed not considered corruption or bribery, but Wen Ya just asked a good question, where did your elder brother get the money? ... I don't want to say more, let Director Su investigate it quickly!"

"Investigate? What are you investigating? Don't exaggerate here!" Xia Qiulian stood up suddenly and quickly turned to look at Grandpa Su. "Grandpa, don't think I'm being harsh. This Meng is really a liar..."

"Sit down or get out!"

Old Master Su shouted angrily, interrupting her.

Xia Qiulian glared at Meng Hao with hatred, and it took her a long time before she sat down again.

"Master Meng, what's going on? Can you explain it clearly?" Grandpa Su asked again.

"Okay, let me make it clear!"

Meng Hao nodded. "As far as I know, Boss Xia got a big real estate contract thanks to Madam Su's connections, right? There must be a lot of tricks involved, otherwise how could Boss Xia be willing to spend nearly 10 million to buy a gift for Madam Su?"

"Of course, Mrs. Su is not aware of these tricks, and Director Su is even more kept in the dark! But the problem is that now is the time to fight corruption. If Director Su doesn't find out the truth quickly, by the time others find out, Director Su may have to jump into the Yellow River to clear himself!"

These words made Mr. Su's face turn pale, and he could only glare at Xia Qiulian fiercely .

Xia Qiulian shuddered and could only scream at the top of her lungs.

"You, you, you ... stop talking nonsense here?"

"Nonsense? Do you know how capable Brother Meng is? You are really ruining our Su family!"

Tang Wenya was also shocked and her face changed. She quickly turned around and looked at Grandpa Su, "Grandpa, what Brother Meng said is definitely not wrong. Let my uncle check it out!"

"I know. Call your uncle right now and tell him to come to my place no matter how late it is after the meeting! If he doesn't come, I'll go to his office tomorrow and break his legs!"

Tang Wenya quickly agreed, took out her cell phone and walked aside to make a call.

Su Wenwu, who had been playing with his phone, also put it down. He looked at this and that with a confused look on his face, and finally muttered to his mother, "I told you to take advantage of me, but I'm letting you take advantage of your uncle so easily ?"

After saying that, he went back to playing with his phone as if nothing had happened.

Xia Qiulian's face turned pale and she had to look at Grandpa Su carefully.

"Don't be angry, old man. It's not worth it to ruin your health! This Meng guy... maybe he is just exaggerating. He must have seen that I was not polite to him before, so..."

"Shut up and sit here quietly and don't move, otherwise I will let Su Zhenyun file for divorce from you tomorrow. If he dares not to listen, I will sever the father-son relationship with him!" Old Master Su roared.

Xia Qiulian suddenly closed her mouth, her face turned pale and she dared not say any more nonsense.

After a while, Tang Wenya came back and said, "My uncle may not have finished the meeting yet. His phone is turned off right now, but I sent him a WeChat message saying that grandpa was angry and asked him to come over right after dinner!"

Old Master Su nodded, turned around and held the hands of Meng Hao who was sitting beside him.

"Master Meng, I'm sorry that such a filthy thing happened in my family! Fortunately, Master Meng is very perceptive, otherwise my Su family would not know that disaster is coming! Alas, this stupid woman is a disaster for our Su family!"

He shook his head and sighed repeatedly, and Meng Hao was speechless to persuade him.

The banquet was soon over.

Meng Hao didn't want to meet Su Zhenyun and wanted to go back to the apartment with Meng Xin. Old Man Su tried hard to keep him, saying that he wanted to ask Meng Hao some questions about martial arts early the next morning.

In the end, Meng Hao and Meng Xin both stayed in the Su family.

Meng Hao only said that he wanted to go back to his room to practice martial arts. He went upstairs to the guest room prepared for him by the housekeeper long ago. After a quick shower, he sat on the bed to practice martial arts, while also digesting and absorbing the spiritual power of the human-shaped Polygonum multiflorum stored in his dantian.

The "Divine Calculation" he mastered is the most profound and mysterious skill from ancient times to the present. If he relies on practice alone, let alone advanced algorithms, even intermediate algorithms may not be mastered and applied in his lifetime.

This is because the calculation method of "Tian Ji Shen Suan" is absolutely beyond the physical and mental strength of ordinary people to support.

In order to quickly improve physical and mental strength, one must rely on spiritual power such as the human-shaped Polygonum multiflorum.

that he would fight with Makavi and ask Makavi to help him find the fruit of the purple vine , the national treasure of Country T.

This practice lasted for more than three hours, and the spiritual power of the human-shaped Polygonum multiflorum was finally completely digested and absorbed.

Meng Hao felt that the true energy in his body had become much stronger, and he couldn't help but feel secretly happy.

When he woke up early the next morning, Mr. Su had returned to his previous leisurely state.

However, he still held Meng Hao's hand and said, "This time, it's not just me who is grateful to Master Meng. Our Zhenyun also said that after he investigates his useless brother-in-law, he will personally come to thank Master Meng!"

"However, given Master Meng's ability, we really can't come up with a decent thank-you gift, so Zhenyun and I discussed it last night and prepared to host a banquet for some guests this Saturday. I, an old man, will officially accept Meng Xin as my goddaughter!"

"...Of course, this might be a bit too much for Master Meng, so I asked Zhenyun to help Meng Xin open an account and transfer the more than one million yuan of my savings to Meng Xin! I know that with Master Meng's ability, it would be easy for him to make tens of millions, but this one million yuan is at least a little bit of my appreciation, and it is also a gift from me as an elder to my granddaughter!"

Meng Hao understood Mr. Su ’s thoughts very well. He hoped to tie this young master to his Su family as closely as possible.

As of now, Meng Hao is still penniless and powerless, and he cannot predict what will happen in the future.

So it was really hard for him to refuse what Grandpa Su did.

What's more, he will rely on his own abilities to make a living in the future, so it is unlikely that he will always have his sister Meng Xin by his side. Having the title of Grandpa Su's granddaughter will definitely be of great benefit to Meng Xin.

So Meng Hao did not refuse, but expressed his sincere gratitude to Mr. Su.
