My Alleged Husband

Chapter 912: Chapter 831: Memories_3

”Elder Sister Xia, I know, what’s wrong?”

”What’s wrong? That Li Corporation heiress, Li Jiayuan, dares to steal my man. I want her gone. You know what to do, right? I shouldn’t need to teach you this anymore. Go!” Xia Jing finished speaking and waved her hand before leaving.

Xiao Wei was still stunned. He found it bizarre—how could someone as brainless as Li Jiayuan end up provoking Elder Sister Xia? Everyone knew she was the leader of the Mercenary Group, and that mercenaries were not to be trifled with. Was this woman out of her mind to cross Elder Sister Xia? Looks like no one could save her this time. Xiao Wei couldn’t help but wonder: if Li Jiayuan learned that the person trying to kill her was none other than the woman whose man she’d stolen, would she be shocked beyond belief?

Midnight.

Xiao Wei slipped into Li Jiayuan’s bedroom like a ghost. At just the right moment, Li Jiayuan returned from outside. As soon as she entered, she saw a guy standing in her bedroom with a knife. She froze in fear, too petrified to react. Xiao Wei, seeing her standing there like that, suddenly hesitated. This dimwit... I’m here to kill her, but she just stands there without moving. Is she not afraid I’ll kill her in one stroke?

Who is this person? How dare he stride right into my bedroom, bold as brass? And worse, when he sees the owner return, he doesn’t even leave. He just stands there. Is this guy insane?

”Hey, who are you? How did you get into my bedroom? Are you a thief?” Li Jiayuan finally snapped out of it and questioned Xiao Wei.

With a knife-like grin, Xiao Wei looked at her. ”Are you talking to me?”

”Are your eyes broken? Or maybe your ears? If I’m not talking to you, then who am I talking to? Can’t you see that the only person standing here, dressed like a thief, is you?”

”Oh~ So you’re talking to me, huh? Well, you don’t need to know who I am. All you need to know is that I’m here to kill you. When you get to Yama’s Palace, you can ask Lord Yama yourself who I am!” Xiao Wei moved the knife directly to her neck.

”What are you doing? Speak up—how much do you want?”

This dimwit seriously thinks I’m here to kill her just to extort her money? I’m here because Elder Sister Xia ordered me to kill her.

”Li Jiayuan, don’t tell me you still don’t know why I’m here to kill you?” Is this woman dumb? Doesn’t she even know whom she’s offended?

”Sorry, but I really don’t know why you’d want to kill me. Is it because I’m the heiress of Li Corporation and you want to blackmail me?” Li Jiayuan casually pushed the knife away from her neck with her hand.

”Sigh, since you don’t know, I don’t mind enlightening you. What you absolutely shouldn’t have done—what’s entirely unforgivable—is offending Elder Sister Xia. Crossing her is bad enough, but you also had the audacity to steal her man? You know full well that Elder Sister Xia is the leader of the Mercenary Group and has so many subordinates under her. Yet you still poked at the hornet’s nest. Aren’t you just asking for it?”

After explaining the truth, Xiao Wei looked at Li Jiayuan with a gaze full of pity. Li Jiayuan, seeing his expression, couldn’t help but chuckle. The man standing before her seemed nothing more than Xia Jing’s lapdog.

”Oh my, so you’re talking about that self-proclaimed mercenary Xia Jing! I was wondering who it could be. Turns out it’s just that woman who dreams of marrying into a wealthy family but isn’t even accepted by her boyfriend’s parents! Hahaha! This is absolutely killing me!” Li Jiayuan burst into laughter.

...

Li Jiayuan laughed heartily, but Xiao Wei’s face turned grim. Of all the people he’s met, everyone feared mercenaries. Yet, here was this brainless girl who not only wasn’t afraid but dared to speak so brazenly about the Mercenary Group’s leader. This truly was the first time he’d encountered someone so recklessly bold. Was she not afraid of death?

Should I kill her or not? She spoke so disrespectfully about Elder Sister Xia. Logically, I should kill her to protect Xia’s reputation. But this woman is strangely entertaining. If I actually kill her, Li Corporation definitely won’t let Elder Sister Xia off easily. On the other hand, if I leave her alive, how am I supposed to face Elder Sister Xia when I return? Fine, I’ll spare her—for now.

”You dimwit, listen carefully. I’m letting you live today. But don’t ever provoke Elder Sister Xia again, understand? Otherwise, not even I can protect you.”
