Unlike the average relocated person, he had been poor for half his life, so he was not blinded by the vast amount of money.
He knew the principle of a small stream flowing for a long time.
120 million yuan seemed to be a considerable sum of money, but if it were used for debauchery, he would be beaten back to his original state in a few years.
If he wanted to continue to be rich, he had to invest.
He needed money to grow into more money and ensure his sons and grandsons would no longer be poor.
With this plan in mind, Boss Mei chose a qualified investment company among the countless investment companies that recommended themselves.
The other party would help him choose his investment projects.
Not long after, the project arrived.
A local company faced a severe cash flow shortage and needed cash to revitalize their project.
This company was willing to take out 40% of its shares in exchange for 40 million yuan.
“My wife’s family company was in a terrible situation then. No one in the local area was optimistic that they could turn the tables, so they couldn’t borrow any money.”
“I didn’t overthink about it at that time. I just felt that taking out 40 million yuan at once was too much.”
“It would be terrible if 1 lost my money, until… until I saw my wife.”
“My wife represented her company and is here to talk to me about financing.”
“I was so smitten by her. She’s so beautiful. She’s the most beautiful woman
I’ve ever seen in my life.”
Recalling what happened back then, Boss Mei gradually revealed a silly expression on his face.
His wife, who was in her twenties at the time, was indescribably beautiful.
The moment he saw his wife, he fell in love with her.
In the past, he would never have had such thoughts.
But the situation was different then.
His wife’s family was facing bankruptcy, and he had a lot of cash flow.
Boss Mei immediately had an idea.
In the face of his wife’s various generous rewards, Boss Mei adopted a noncommittal attitude.
After sending her off, he immediately went to find the person in charge of the investment company.
He expressed his meaning tactfully.
He could invest in his wife’s family’s company, but there was an additional condition. He had to marry their daughter.
Not long after, the other party sent back a message.
Sure.
Boss Mei did not expect the other party to agree so quickly and immediately decided to inject funds.
Just like that, the two of them quickly stepped into the hall of marriage.
In Boss Mei’s opinion, although 40 million was a lot, it was worth it to marry a woman who was as beautiful as a fairy and of noble birth.
Even if he lost everything, he still had 80 million.
120 million yuan was a pie that fell from the sky.
Luck was a part of it, but it was also fate.
Not long after the two got married, the project was revived with the help of the funds.
The scale gradually expanded.
The total market value now was as high as more than a billion.
“I know it’s a little despicable,” said Boss Mei awkwardly. “So, after we get married, no matter what my wife wants, I’ll try my best to satisfy her.”
“Could it be…”
Boss Mei felt his heart thump.
Could it be that his wife’s family bore a grudge against him for what had happened back then, so they wanted to kill him?
Thinking about it carefully, it was not impossible.
“Sigh!”
Boss Mei slapped his forehead with a pained expression.
“I made such an outrageous request back then. My wife and her parents agreed verbally, but they must be outraged in their hearts.”
“Her father is the big boss of a company. I’m just a construction site carpenter who made my fortune by getting my house relocated.”
“While their family needs funds to revitalize the project, I took the opportunity to propose to marry their daughter.”
“They must have held a grudge against me.”
The viewers also felt that this should be the case.
If it were them, they would definitely be furious.
What he did was too disgusting.
If they did not marry their daughter to him, they would not be able to get his investment.
As the family’s assets increased, this matter would definitely become a heart pain for them.
Their precious daughter, a twenty-something-year-old, married a carpenter who was almost forty.
No matter what everyone thought about it, it was cringeworthy.
“No wonder they agreed so readily. Perhaps from the very beginning, they didn’t want me to live.”
“They just wanted my financial help and then let my wife slowly kill me.”
Boss Mei looked at Chen Yu.
“Dr. Chen, this should be the situation, right?”
“No.” Chen Yu gave a quick, negative answer.
“No?”
“Then why?” Boss Mei asked in surprise.
Chen Yu shook his head while smiling bitterly.
“I’ve already told you before. Your wife wants to kill you for nothing else but money.”
“This doesn’t make sense.”
Boss Mei rubbed his temples hard. “When I married her, her family didn’t have as much money as mine. But after we married, her family’s wealth far exceeded mine.”
“There’s no need to look at the money in my hands.”
“You said it yourself,” Chen Yu said. “Her family has more money than you, not her.”
“Is there any difference between her and her family?”
Boss Mei was completely confused by Chen Yu’s words.
“Of course, there’s a difference.”
“The one who wants to kill you is your wife,” Chen Yu continued. “The one who covets your assets is also your wife.”
“It has nothing to do with her family.”
“Wait, wait.”
Boss Mei thought momentarily and asked, “In other words, my father-in-law and mother-in-law don’t want me dead. They don’t even know that their daughter had the intention to kill me, and they aren’t after my money?”
Seeing Chen Yu nod his head, Boss Mei added, “This way, things don’t make sense anymore.”
“She’s the only child in their family. After my father-in-law and mother-in-law died, all the assets belonged to her. Why would she want my money?”
Not only was Boss Mei puzzled, but the viewers were even more confused.
Under normal circumstances, when her family had more than a billion yuan in assets and no other heirs, all the assets would definitely belong to her after her parents passed.
“First,” Chen Yu answered with a complicated expression, “your wife isn’t your parents-in-law’s biological daughter. She’s just a tool for them.”
“Secondly, your wife killing you for money is just the first step of her plan.”
“The second step of the plan is revenge.”
“Third,” Chen Yu said as he looked at the stunned Boss Mei. “Your wife only wanted to ruin your body by eating an unhealthy diet.”
“When your body collapses and you can’t take care of yourself, she won’t have to do that kind of thing with you anymore.”
“Furthermore, as your spouse, she can control all your assets.”
“Alas, two things happened at the end of last year that made her change her mind.
“You must die, and you must die as soon as possible..”
