She Is Not a Witch

　　Hellis’ house has been silent for several days since Lorrain Hill’s visit that day. Miss Meilu ordered that the entire Chamber of Commerce headquarters be completely closed, and everyone is not allowed to enter or leave at will.

　　 A few days later, the door to the headquarters of the Hellis Chamber of Commerce opened, which seemed to be the same to outsiders, but the internal staff found that some faces had disappeared. It is said that they were assigned to work in a far away branch.

Later, the main managers of the various branches of the Hellis Chamber of Commerce, especially those of Meilu’s uncles’ relatives, received invitations from the master’s family. The invitation said that due to Patriarch Fawth’s recent excessive enjoyment, the priest of the Angel Temple After the diagnosis, he said that he was afraid of life soon, so he invited everyone to come to discuss matters concerning the heir of the Chamber of Commerce.

If it’s for some meetings in normal times, these relatives of Hellis love to go, and they don’t show up much, but when it comes to the transfer of the chamber of commerce and the distribution of property, they are like flies that smell fishy, ​​and they swarm for fear of going. Can't drink the soup late.

　　 In just one week, these distant relatives rushed to gather together.

　　Hellis house, main chamber.

Hoth sat in the upper part of the hall, his complexion a little pale, his vain and fat body was like a lump of soft white bread, and the maid next to him from time to time sent medicinal soup for health preservation. On his right hand was the eldest daughter Mei Lu, and next to him. It is the youngest son Bell.

Among the many stewards in the audience, all kinds of eyes looked at the Patriarch in the middle. There were envy, jealousy, fear, greed, and desire. All kinds of eyes looked at the members of the Patriarch’s house. The meeting is still Before the beginning, they were whispering underneath, communicating with each other, trying to know what attention each other was doing.

Mei Lu looked at the group of people below. The faces were so familiar, yet so strange. When did they come to this point with each other? Without the warmth of the past, only the right The craving for money seems to be the only value and meaning of life.

　　 Or maybe this is the normal state, people's hearts are changeable, only the benefits are long-lasting, moving, and unable to extricate themselves. She sighed silently in her heart, and then a slight tugging sensation came from her arm.

　　 "Bell, um, don't be afraid, just sit there obediently, and my sister will protect you."

　　 Mei Lu shook his younger brother's hand to soothe his uneasy emotions, and the meeting finally officially began.

　　 The host clapped his hands first, let everyone quiet down, and briefly introduced the reason for calling everyone this time. As the owner of Patriarch Huos was unwell, he now decided to abdicate.

　　 "I'm sorry to summon everyone at this time." Hoth said, his speech was not fast and his voice was a little weak.

　　 "The owner of the house is too worried, your health is the most important thing."

　　 "Yes, don't worry too much, everyone is here."

　　 "Yes, don't worry."

Some stewards responded below that although they were all words of concern, their excited eyes were not as if they cared about Hoth. I am afraid it was more of a secret joy. After all, Hoth is the son of the previous generation of Patriarch. Although he is not strong enough, Seniority can still hold them down. But once he retires, who can he change?

　　 Bell is only 14 years old before he reaches adulthood. No one cares about him. Although the eldest daughter, Mei Lu, has certain strength, she is a daughter. Sooner or later, she will marry, an outsider. What qualifications do she have to manage the family? At that time, they will not have to be entrusted to handle the affairs of the Chamber of Commerce, hahaha.

　　 "So, I am going to hand over the affairs of the Chamber of Commerce to my daughter, Mei Lu, who will handle it."

　　 When Hoth said this, there was an uproar from below, with unbelievable expressions. The faces that were kind before suddenly became hard to look, and all kinds of doubts sounded.

　　 "Patriarch, think twice, Mei Lu is just a little girl. It is too much to be in charge of her."

　　 "Yes, why give the Chamber of Commerce to a daughter."

　　 "The chamber of commerce should be led by experienced people"

　　 "I think Master Vito is right."

　　...

　　 The voice below suddenly became noisy, and many people began to make noise. Everyone expressed their opinions and said the most suitable leader in their minds, and some simply recommended themselves. Hoth sweated on his head and said a few more words, but unfortunately no one listened. They only vented their dissatisfaction and argued over who is qualified to lead the Chamber of Commerce.

　　 Mei Lu stood up and patted his father's back, and said a few words in his ear, before Hoth's anxious face slowly eased, and then several escorts escorted him and Bell away from the nearby small side door. Covered by the noise in the chamber, the sound of armor colliding outside the door seemed so inconspicuous.

　　 Some people noticed Hoth’s departure and prepared to come forward to question, but they were stopped by the attendants who had been prepared. They seemed to stand sparsely in front of the stage, but guarded against those who wanted to come forward.

　　咚——

　　咚——

　　 The big bell in the deliberative hall was struck, and the metal trembling of the bronze bell spread clearly throughout the venue. At this time, the scene gradually calmed down. When everyone saw that only Mei Lu was left on the rostrum, they finally felt something wrong.

　　 "Miss Meilu, where's Master Hoth?"

　　 Several stewards began to ask, and the others looked at Mei Lu, waiting for her answer.

　　 "My father is unwell, he has already gone back to rest first, and I will take care of the rest."

　　 "May Lu, get off the stage, Hoth is ignorant, how can you be a girl to take on such a heavy responsibility."

　　 An uncle said loudly that some other people began to echo ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and more people were sitting on the sidelines. At this time, no one stood up to speak for Mei Lu.

Mei Lu slowly stood up from her seat. She was wearing a dark green long dress with a bright yellow camellia pinned on her shoulders. Her face was indistinguishable from the darkened chamber, except for the chestnut golden length. The hair hangs on the chest.

　　 "Uncle Vito also thinks I am inappropriate?" Her voice was a little cold.

"Yes it is."

　　 "But I still want to do this, what should I do?"

　　 "You don't want to be like this, we also do it for your good."

　　 "But I want it."

　　 Looking at the familiar uncle in front of her, Mei Lu's voice became colder and colder and more determined.

"you......"

　　 Before the uncle could finish speaking, Mei Lu directly picked up the tea cup on the table and threw it on the other person.

　　 "You are only a member of the Helliss branch, what right do you have to yell in front of me."

　　 "I usually call you uncle respectfully, do you forget your duty?"

　　 Everyone looked at Mei Lu in shock. No one expected that Mei Lu, who is usually gentle and pleasant, would dare to say such things.

　　 "From today, the Hollis family will be unified again, everyone, all branches must obey the orders of our master!"

　　 "And I, will become the new owner of the Hellis Chamber of Commerce, you can tell me any dissatisfaction here."

The voice was categorically decisive. Mei Lu looked directly at the relatives and elders present, her black eye pupils slowly swept across the audience, as her words fell, teams of heavily armed guards filed in through the side door, and they There was silence, and only the sound of metal collisions could be heard. A total of three hundred steel armored guards would be completely sealed off, and no one could escape this silent hall.
