  Shanghai:

  "Hello, is this Miss Lu Meiyou?"

  "Hello, I'm Lu Meiyou. May I ask who you are?" Lu Meiyou answered the call from a familiar yet forgotten number while sitting in her newly purchased red convertible BMW.

  "Hello, I am Director Xiao Wu from Bank of China, Wu Tian Ah!"

  "Oh~ it's you~ haha~ I said why does this phone number look so familiar! What are you looking for me?"

  "Didn't you come to the bank last month?"

  "Yes"

  "Do you still remember that bank account you told me to pay attention to?"

  "Remember! What? Has there been a reaction?" Mei You slammed on the brakes, stopping the car by the side of the road and asked carefully.

  "Yes, just an hour ago, 5,000 yuan was withdrawn from this card!"

  "Okay, got it, are you at the bank now?"

  "I'm off work now and calling you from outside the bank!"

  "Alright, wait for me at the entrance of the bank, I'll be there in 10 minutes," Meiyou said before hanging up the phone and quickly turning her car around to head towards the bank.

  "Manager Wu, get in!" Mei You pulled the car over beside a neatly dressed young man about 10 meters away.

  "Haha ~ Miss Lu, long time no see!" This was the man's first sentence when he got on the bus. Mei You smiled at him in the rearview mirror, "Hmm, is it true what you said about that card having a message?"

  "Yes, it was 5,000 yuan taken out at 11 o'clock this noon!"

  "Where?"

  "I tracked it down according to the transaction instructions and found it was in Xinjiang, specifically in the Hami region of Xinjiang."

  "What? Xinjiang? Oh my god! So far away! What is he doing running all the way there?"

  "Haha ~ these we are not very clear! Miss Lu has anything else? If not, I have to go back!"

  "I'll send you off then"

  "No need, I think Miss Lu should have more important things to attend to than sending me home now!"

  "Thanks, another day, I'll definitely treat you to dinner next time, I'm off for now!"

  After Mr. Wu got off the car, Mei You drove back home.

  "Hello, Auntie? It's Meiyou!" Meiyou put on her headphones and dialed her aunt's phone number all the way in America.

  "Hmm, Mei You, what's wrong? It's still midnight in the UK now, how come you're calling?"

  "Auntie, I'm on my way home now. I've already got news about Xuan Sheng and Zhi Quan, so I'm going to go find them. This is something I won't be able to tell Dad about, so I can only give you a heads up for now. After I leave, please help explain things to him and try not to make him angry again - his health isn't great right now!"

  "Hmm, okay, you're really something as a sister, even I, as a mother, can't compare to you. Where's that Chen Zhiquan kid off to? I don't want to bother with him, let him play around, he'll come back when he's had enough! Unlike you, who still goes looking for them... Heh heh, kids grow up and mothers can't even control them anymore. I've been abroad for so many years, I'm afraid he's even forgotten about his old mother..."

  "It can't be said that way, those two young rascals ran away from home because the college their father told them to attend didn't suit their temper. Although they are both stubborn, there is a precious jade hidden within these two stubborn stones. If I let them run wild and don't care about them, then the company will have no hope in the future. Alright, Auntie, you go to sleep first, there's a flight to Urumqi, Xinjiang in three hours, I must catch that flight, so I need to go home and pack some things!"

  "Alright, see you later Zhiquan! Don't forget to help me clean up thoroughly! If there's anything else to remember, contact Auntie. Bye!"

  "Goodnight, auntie."

  Mei You hung up the phone when the car had already entered the Lu family's villa, where more than a dozen Filipino maids were lined up in a row, bowing at 45 degrees. She quickly went upstairs to pack her things, only choosing what was important, traveling light. At this time, however, someone knocked on her door, and her heart skipped a beat as she thought to herself that her father wouldn't be home at this hour. She stuffed the packed luggage into the closet before opening the door...

  "Mei You Jie~" A girl holding a large doll slipped into Mei You's room. The girl was named Zhuo Ying, another rich girl living in the same villa complex as Mei You's family. She had grown up with Xuan Sheng and Zhi Quan since childhood, so the tacit understanding between the two families was that they didn't need to speak to understand each other. And she had a deep affection for Lu Xuan Sheng, unfortunately, it was only a one-sided love. Xuan Sheng always treated her as his little sister, and in Xuan Sheng's memory, Ying'er was just a little girl who clung to her large pink doll every day.

  "Oh no~ Xiao Zhuo Ying, how can you run around in your pajamas? Aren't you afraid of being secretly photographed by reporters in the neighborhood?" Mei You pulled her to sit on the edge of the bed.

  "Mei You Jie... I had a dream about Xuan Sheng, he was so pitiful, he didn't have anything, he was very hungry, to the point where he couldn't even move, but no one gave him food to eat..." As she spoke, Xiao Zhuo Ying buried her face in Mei You's chest and started crying.

  "Okay, Zhuo Ying, don't cry anymore, or you won't be pretty~" Mei You helped her wipe away tears, "Let me tell you some good news, I've already got news from Xuan Sheng and Zhi Quan, and soon I'll go find them, hehe~ Once I find them, I can bring them back, okay?"

  "Really? Mei You Jie, you're not fooling me, are you?" Zhuo Ying asked Mei You with a smile while wiping away her tears.

  "How could I cheat you? My silly child, can't you see that I'm packing up now?"

  "Alright then, I'll help you clean up together, but does Uncle Lu know about it?"

  "Shh... don't tell him, but if you tell Uncle Lu, Xuan Sheng and Zhi Quan will only end up being thrown into the mountains of Xinjiang to be fed to wolves!"

  "Uh-huh, uh-huh, I know, I won't say anything ~ Hehe ~ Let's get started now!" With that, Zhuo Ying began to help Mei You pick up things.

  Just as Meiyou and Zhuoying were busy packing their things upstairs, Lujun returned home unusually at noon. He looked at the limited edition sports car parked in the yard and asked the butler, "Is Meiyou back?"

  "Yes! The young lady has just returned!"

  "What about him?"

  "Miss is upstairs chatting with Miss Zhuo Ying!" The manager replied respectfully.

  "Oh..."

  The army walked into the living room, picked up a copy of the Shanghai Daily that had just been delivered in the early morning, and sat down to read it...

  The general manager wanted to go upstairs to wake up Mei You, but Lujun this old man was still sitting in his original position, leaving him no excuse to go upstairs. Just as the general manager was thinking of a solution, Mei You and Zhuo Ying came down from upstairs with big bags... and happened to bump into Lujun!

  "Wow! Are you going on vacation with such a big luggage?" Lu Jun asked with a straight face.

  "Ah...!" Mei You was startled by her father's sudden movement!

  "What is going on there?"

  "Is... is... nothing, just..." Mei You didn't know what excuse to use to cover it up at this time.

  "Shall we go find those two little brats? Wasn't there news from the bank more than an hour ago?"

  "Ah! Dad ~ You, how did you know?" Meiyou couldn't believe that her father's news would be so well-informed.

  "Hey, my daughter, you're underestimating your old man a bit too much, aren't you?" Lu Jun smiled and continued, "That day when I told you to freeze Xuan Sheng and Zhi Quan's accounts, I already knew what was going on. You would definitely only freeze one account because you wanted to get it back for me to report, but I had already informed the bank manager beforehand, so I knew everything. And you finding out about those two little brats being in Xinjiang should also be after I found out, right?"

  "Dad... I just want them to come back..."

  "I didn't stop you from going, to be honest, seeing them at home all the time is annoying, but they just left a little over a month ago and I'm still dreaming about them... Now that I'm back, it's also to help you with preparations for Xinjiang..."

  "Ah?" Mei You didn't react immediately, Zhuo Ying was laughing non-stop beside her, "Hehe~ this time, everyone's happy!"

  "Alright, Meiyou, don't rush and forget to bring things. Take another look at what you need to bring, then call our branch in Xinjiang and let them know to pick you up tomorrow morning. I just checked and we have a four-star hotel in Hami. Give Urumqi a call later and tell them you're going to Hami for work, and ask the hotel to prepare everything that needs to be done. Then when you arrive, explain the details to the manager there, they should know what to do..."

  "Got it ~ hehe, thank you dad ~ I haven't thought about these things yet! You can help me finish them first, hehe." Meiyou carefully took over some documents and phone numbers of the Urumqi branch from her father's hand. "Then dad, I'll go to the airport now, or else I'm afraid I won't be able to buy a ticket ~"

  "Alright, silly girl, I've already prepared your ticket and put it with the other documents. You're so impatient, you never even look at things carefully. That's just like your personality has always been since you were little, so impulsive."

  Mei You didn't know what to say, but tears flowed down uncontrollably. She threw herself into Lu Jun's arms, "Dad, you're so great!"

  "Hehe, go ahead, don't be late, I won't see you off. The company has a meeting this afternoon." Lu Jun stroked Mei You's long hair and patted her lightly.

  "Uh-huh, thanks Dad, I'm leaving."

  "Go, see those two little brats, don't forget to tell them to come back early. If they don't like business or finance, let them be. The kids are grown up, and as parents, we can't control them anymore. Sigh, I'm old..."

  "Got it, Dad." Mei You walked out the door and the maids followed closely behind her, carrying things, and got into the car that Father had already prepared...

  The car has started, but Mei You's heart is so entangled. She had never imagined that her father could be coerced or moved by anyone or anything, but now this sudden change makes her a little at a loss...
