Chapter 996 - Personal Maid

Chapter 996 - Personal Maid
"I have some good news, Sister Ellis. This place will no longer be demolished, and you will become the new owner." Yuan relayed this news to her.
"What?! How is that possible? What did you do?" Ellis didn't dare to believe such good news.
"I just called a friend who could help us."
"B-But this place was already sold! How did they manage to convince the buyer?"
"Who knows." He shrugged.
"What about the previous owner? What happened to him?"
"He will be going to jail."
"W-What about the funds? Even if I own this place, if I don't have any money…"
"That's also been taken care of. I will be donating some of my money to this orphanage so you don't have to worry about money for a long time."
"Y-You? I don't want to put such a burden on you…"
"It's fine. I won the lottery recently, so I have plenty of money." Yuan chuckled.
"Seriously…?" Ellis stared at Yuan's calm expression with a shocked face.
"Seriously." He confirmed.
"My god…"
"By the way, there will be someone here later to help you get everything settled. They will also assist you until you can manage this place properly."
Tears began pouring out of Ellis' eyes.
"T-Thank you… How can I ever repay you for this…?"
"You already have." Yuan smiled.
Yuan and the others stayed with Ellis until the help Chairman Lee sent had arrived.
"Hello, I am Peter, and these people behind me are my team. We will be helping you get this orphanage back up and running as soon as possible. We will also teach you how to manage the place." The man leading the group introduced himself.
"Then we'll be leaving now, Sister Ellis. We'll come back later to check up on you." Yuan said to her.
After saying their goodbyes and hugging Sister Ellis, Yuan and his group left the orphanage.
"You're very lucky to have such a close relationship with him, Sister Ellis." Peter said to her after they left.
"Huh? Why?"
"You don't know?"
"No…"
Peter proceeded to tell Ellis about Yuan's background, which greatly shocked her.
"Oh my… To think he'd lived such a horrible life after leaving the orphanage… But I'm really glad that he's managed to turn his life around." Ellis sighed.
At the end of the day, Yuan asked Meixiu, "What's the situation with our money?"
She looked at their bank account and said, "The four investors have already sent their money. We currently have 122 billion dollars in the bank. However, we haven't received anything from the Yu Family yet."
"I see…" Yuan sighed.
"Are you going back to deal with the Yu Family?" Chu Liuxiang asked.
"Knowing them, they probably already fled the city and went into hiding." He shook his head.
"So what are we going to do now? Look for them?"
"It's already getting late, so I'm not going to bother. They can run, but they won't be able to hide forever. We'll eventually find them, and when we do…" Yuan's eyes glinted with a killing intent.
Meixiu and Chu Liuxiang swallowed nervously.
"Let's go home for now." He said to them a moment later.
"Okay."
They took a taxi back to the Dragon Spiral Mountain.
A few hours later, they arrived at the bottom of the mountain.
"Welcome back, Young Master Yuan." The guards outside the gates greeted him.
"Hey. We're back."
"Young Master Yuan, there is actually someone waiting for you…" One of the guards suddenly said to him.
"Huh? Who?"
"It's me, Young Master." A familiar voice resounded beside them.
Yuan turned to look at this person.
A smile appeared on his face when he realized her identity.
"Miss Meifeng… Are you sure?" Yuan asked her.
"Of course. It's always been my dream to work for you after you joined the Yu Family, and this is still my dream," she said.
After taking a deep breath, she bowed to him and spoke in a nervous voice, "Young Master, I would like to work for you. Please hire me. I am even willing to work for free."
"Of course I will hire you." Yuan smiled.
"Thank you, Young Master. You will not regret it."
"Mother…" Meixiu mumbled.
Meifeng turned to look at her next.
"You don't have to worry about me. Just continue living your life as usual," she said.
'Mother doesn't know about my relationship with Yuan yet… Things will definitely become awkward later if I don't tell her soon…' Meixiu sighed inwardly.
Meifeng followed Yuan and the others up the Dragon Spiral Mountain until they arrived at their destination.
"So this is the Young Master's current home…" She mumbled in a dazed voice.
"Let's go inside." Yuan said.
By the time they entered the building, the members of the Demon Sealing Faction were already waiting by the door to greet them.
"Welcome back, everyone! I saw the news! I can't believe that you'd actually revealed your true identity to the whole world, Yuan!" Shi Lang said.
"It was going to happen eventually, so I might as well do it sooner." Yuan smiled.
"Who is this beautiful lady?" Wang Ming asked with his gaze looking at Meifeng.
"This is—"
"God evening, everyone. I am called Meifeng, Meixiu's mother, and I will be working here as the Young Master's personal maid starting today." She introduced herself before Yuan could even say anything.
"M-Meixiu's mother?! No wonder why you look so familiar even though this is my first time seeing you…"
The members of the faction were shocked by her identity. However, as excited as they were about meeting Meixiu's mother, they were all wondering the same thing at this moment.
'Meixiu is already Yuan's woman, yet her mother will be serving him as his servant… Isn't this incredibly awkward? How will their relationship even work?'
"Miss Meifeng, let me show you around the place. There are plenty of spare rooms so you can pick your own room." Yuan said to her a moment later.
"Okay." She nodded.
