"Miss Lacey, I don't really understand what you mean."

Mei Lu spoke, still thinking about avoiding the important things. Many of these things were not something she could decide as the eldest daughter, and even the head of the family, Hoss, dared not promise now.

Perhaps in the eyes of outsiders, the Helis family is one of the five major chambers of commerce in Hoplane and is very powerful, but only she herself knows that the internal division of the Helis family has gradually become different, and the main family has gradually been unable to control the overall situation. At this time, taking a side will only make the internal crack bigger and bigger.

She didn't know what Lorran Hill meant, but she just couldn't speak.

"Do you know this about Carites and Helis over the spice trade more than ten years ago?" Lorran Hill looked at the fire in the fireplace, and the firewood was burning quietly, with occasional slight crackling sounds.

"I probably know a little." Mei Lu seemed to think of something, her face was a little unnatural.

"At that time, Lord Angus was willing to let go of prejudice and conflicts considering future development, and took a step back and gave up the spice industry in the Southern Archipelago. The previous generation of Helis's head also reciprocates and transferred his own forest farms and some manors. In this way, both sides put aside their prejudice, helped each other, and finally consolidated their market and position in the alliance."

"But no one expected that the Helis family, who had always been loyal, set up a bureau for the head of Carites, trying to use a child to obtain the inheritance of Carites and split the chamber of commerce."

"Does Miss Meilu know about this?" At this point, Loran Hill slowly raised his head and looked at the Helis parents' daughter opposite again.

"I...I probably know something." Looking at Lorran Hill's captivating blue eyes, she could only admit bitterly.

This matter was indeed unauthorized by the Helis family. Afterwards, they did not tell Angus. They thought that it had been ten years and Angus was no longer there, and everything was over. Who would have thought that the new head of the Carites family would know the truth.

"Uncle Ceres is the last time he is a coachman today and sent me to visit. From tomorrow on, he will resign from his position at home and go to the south to retire and never come back."

Lorran Hill continued to say something that seemed to be unrelated, but Melu understood that it meant that all the actions and weakness of their Helis family had long been seen through by the young lady.

Is there no way out? Mei Lu looked down at the tea cup, and the scattered green tea leaves slowly flowed in the cup, and then fell to the bottom of the cup.

Looking back at the scene of my childhood, everything seemed like yesterday. Grandpa was still alive. The uncles at home gathered together and often had dinner together. They told each other about which place has new raw materials recently, which route has good profit margins, and which new product is popular with everyone. It was very lively.

As the eldest daughter in the family, she often entertained her younger brothers and sisters, took them to play, read books, and fly kites. Her uncles often praised her and brought her gifts from various places in the Seven Kingdoms of Xuehua. That was also her happiest time.

But with the death of my grandfather and my father took over the position, everything gradually became worse. My father messed up several projects as soon as he came up. The uncles were dissatisfied with resentment, so they gradually stopped obeying the orders of the master. My father also felt that he was not the material, so he began to indulge himself, indulge in pleasure, and no longer care about family affairs, so that she had been making decisions in recent years.

But she is just a daughter, her seniority and qualifications cannot suppress those uncles. Even her younger brothers and sisters who were familiar with each other became cold and sometimes had some conflicts.

As the heat slowly dissipated, the tea in the cup gradually became cooler, and the tea leaves no longer floated, just like stagnant water. Mei Lu raised her head and whispered.

"I'm very sorry, Miss Lacey, the Helis family today, is not qualified to be your ally."

"Why do you say that?"

"Maybe it is still the gorgeous blooming camellia, but the branches under the petals have long been separated. I can only represent one of them. The interior of the Helis family has long been divided."

"By legal theory, your master still holds more than 50% of the shares." Lolan Hill was not disappointed.

"That's just legal. The industry union of the Velgar Business Alliance is not as powerful as the king of the kingdom. It is often local autonomy. Most of the members of the Hoplane branch are from our five major chambers of commerce. How binding is it to do with themselves?"

"But you still have more than 50% of the legal shares, which is irrefutable justice." Loran Hill repeated again, his pupils shining on the fire, as if there were flames burning in it.

"I understand, but..."

"But don't you dare to take back what you have?" Lorran Hill interrupted Meilu's words.

"But can you watch your family fall apart in your generation?"

"Waiting will not result in anything." Lorran Hill placed the teacup on the table.

"After taking back the rights and everything, your relatives and uncles may have a big fight and will have resentment, but they still have to rely on you and will still sit together again. If they are divided, their property will be incorrect, and they will be even more afraid of your future pursuit, thus creating darker thoughts and ideas."

"Melu, you probably don't want to see that worst result."

"I......."

Mei Lu looked at the dream girl in a black dress in front of her. She warned her like an angel and bewitched like a demon, and couldn't speak for a moment.

Lorran Hill did not ask Melu to answer immediately, knowing that the change in concepts and habits takes time to slowly digest.

Then she stood up, walked to the fireplace, took off the baked teapot by the fire, and refilled Meilu and her teacup with boiling tea.

Mei Lu sat quietly on the sofa, watching the hot tea flow out from the pot, passing through an arc, gushing a wave of white mist, and then flowing into the white gold-edged porcelain cup. The tea leaves in the cup rolled in the hot water again, and the light green tea leaves in the amber liquid were like a small boat rising and falling in the stormy waves.

Helis, the yellow-green camellia, blooms in winter and spring, with a rich and dignified and elegant appearance.

"Only camellia tea is durable, and the moon can occupy the spring breeze." - Ju Qiqi (Zeng Jili of the Song Dynasty) sang the East Rhyme

"I understand, Lord Lacey, can you give me some time?"

Mei Lu raised her head and looked at Lolan Hill, showing a relieved smile. Under the reflection of the fire, her long golden hair reflected a faint light.
