Chapter 2625 - 2598: Father-in-Law and Son-in-Law

Lord Tang was very envious, he always felt that their fortune was excessively good.

Not to mention Bai Erlang and Bai Shan who were already well-off, even Zhou Man seemed to be very wealthy now.

He knew well, the store they opened in the East Market was making a lot of money, you could tell from the taxes they submitted to the County Governmental Office every month.

Thinking about this, Lord Tang was just about to remind Bai Shan, when he heard a loud crash outside followed by a grieving shout, "Lady—"

Lord Tang was startled, Manbao who was raising a tea cup outside the screen also trembled and then immediately put down the tea cup, turning around and running out, afraid that there was an emergency situation.

Bai Shan and the others, along with Lord Tang, didn’t have time to put on their shoes, dragging their shoes directly and ran outside.

Once outside, they saw Manbao lying on the stair railing looking down, Bai Shan ran up, repeatedly asking, "What’s going on, what’s going on?"

Is it choking, or suffering from an acute illness?

But Manbao "shushed" him, continuing to lean over the railing looking down.

Bai Shan also leaned over and looked down, seeing a familiar middle-aged man below, protecting a young lady behind him, and a young man kneeling in front.

Tang He’s head popped out from above, whispering, "Who is this?"

Bai Shan whispered back, "Is it Mr. Mei and his daughter?"

Manbao nodded.

She hesitated for a moment, feeling that watching acquaintances gossip like this was not very good, but seeing all the railings on the second floor crowded with people, and even several heads poking in from outside the hall, including guests inside, all curiously staring at the young man kneeling on the ground and Mei Family father and daughter.

Manbao frowned a bit, then tugged at Bai Shan, gesturing for him to go see.

Bai Shan thought for a moment, then turned around and went downstairs, interrupting the young man who was tugging at Mr. Mei’s hem and crying intensely, smiling and saying, "Mr. Mei, it’s unexpected to meet you here, I’ve booked a private room upstairs, would you mind joining me for a drink?"

Mr. Mei, whose face was pale, upon seeing Bai Shan, his expression eased slightly, he quickly returned the greeting saying, "It’s actually Lord Bai, Lord Bai is too kind."

After speaking, he broke away from the young man’s hand, grabbed Lady Mei’s hand and wanted to go upstairs with Bai Shan.

The young man saw this and immediately rushed up wanting to grab Lady Mei’s leg, but Mr. Mei reacted quickly, instinctively kicking him away.

The young man was kicked and slammed into the table behind, originally just bumping and damaging a chair, but now the table was also smashed.

Lady Mei saw this and worrily stepped forward, but was grabbed by Mr. Mei.

Bai Shan saw the regret on Mr. Mei’s face, feeling curious, when the young man who was slammed onto the table scrambled up, still kneeling on the ground, crawling two steps forward, grabbing Mr. Mei’s clothes corner, shouting, "Father-in-law, Father-in-law, I am sincere towards Lady Mei, please do not separate me from Lady Mei. I really do not mind Lady Mei not being able to have a child, truly, I swear to heaven, please do not separate me from Lady Mei."

The spectators instantly had their eyes lit up, this was a big scoop, and they all stared at them.

Bai Shan saw Mr. Mei’s face turn pale, his fists tightly clenched, and he immediately went forward to help the young man, squatting down to lift his gaze towards the stairs, signaling Bai Erlang and Yin Huo to quickly come down and help.

Bai Erlang and Yin Huo immediately ran down swiftly.

Manbao also wanted to go down, but was pulled back by Lord Tang, who whispered, "Don’t go."

Although Lord Tang didn’t know who Mr. Mei and his daughter were, he could tell from the accent they were not from the capital. That Lady Mei had a faint medicinal smell on her, and her complexion was not too healthy.

Zhou Man’s acquaintances were limited, basically all patients.

The young man yelled again, and Zhou Man going down would only confirm Lady Mei’s illness, which would not be a good thing for Mei Family father and son, and it would get herself involved.

Better to let Bai Shan and the others handle it.

Manbao then continued watching from the railing.

Bai Erlang and Yin Huo helped pull the young man up, comforting him one sentence at a time, "Don’t cry, my friend, let’s talk it out."

"Mr. Mei is not an unreasonable person, why force him like this?"

"Friend, why not go upstairs, clean up a bit, let’s sit down and have a proper talk."

The young man was bewildered, he didn’t recognize them at all, but the four people were being so warm and friendly, as if they were very familiar.

Bai Shan even called the waiter of Nine Blessings Building, sighing, "The damage will be on my account, send our apologies with a pot of sour plum soup and a plate of snacks to the disturbed guests."

The waiter quickly complied.

The young man felt something was off, and he wanted to break free from the hands of the three and say something, but Bai Erlang and Liu Huan each held him and led him upstairs, "Let’s go, go upstairs, you are a family, surely you can sit down and discuss things properly?"

Yin Huo added, "Knowing that you care for Mr. Mei and Lady Mei, it wouldn’t be appropriate to keep them standing, would it?"

Everyone clustered around them, heading upstairs, the young man couldn’t break free, and finally with a grim face, he forcibly shook off Bai Erlang and Liu Huan’s hands, and with a heavy thud dropped to his knees, bowing his head exclaiming, "Father-in-law, please agree to your son-in-law, I cannot leave Lady Mei!"

Mr. Mei, who had been pursing his lips silently, turned back from the stairs to look at him, watching from a high point for a moment, seeing Bai Shan who was standing below slightly shaking his head, he sighed and said, "I understand your dilemma, even though you married into my Mei Family, you always wanted a child to carry on your name. Coincidentally my daughter has poor health, I can’t let her delay your future. Now that you two are divorced, the money I gave you is enough for you to marry again and have children, then you can have a child, why harm yourself in my Mei Family?"

Everyone listened and looked at the young man with a different gaze.

Mr. Mei saw him kneeling, tears streaming down, trying to say something, he released Lady Mei’s hand and went forward to help him, bending down to whisper in his ear, "Cause a scene if you must, feel free to make it big, I am not from the capital, once Lady Mei is healed we will leave the capital, ruining my and my daughter’s reputation here won’t serve any purpose."

"But, I can make it impossible for you in the capital, you came to the capital with how much money, visiting Nine Blessings Building so many times, does your money suffice for returning to Jiangnan?"

The young man shivered, instinctively looking at the four young men standing beside him.

Bai Shan and the others immediately looked up at the sky, turning their heads to look upstairs, basically ignoring young man, seemingly not having heard Mr. Mei’s threatening words.

The young man’s lips trembled, half a day unable to speak, instead noticing the attire on the four, especially the exquisite jade hanging from their waists, none of which were ordinary goods, evidently showing their noble background.

His mouth felt as if it was filled with bitter bile, the disparity in status made him unable to refuse Mr. Mei’s dominance.

This was what he had always wanted from Mr. Mei, but even after marrying Lady Mei for so many years, he had always been guarded against him.

Ultimately isn’t it because they haven’t had a child?

If only they had a child with the surname Mei...
