My Alleged Husband

Chapter 915: Chapter 831: Memories_6

”Xiao Wei, come here. Let me talk to you.”

Xiao Wei is a squad leader in the Mercenary Group and also Xia Jing’s trusted assistant. He’s killed countless people and treats Xia Jing as though she were his own elder sister. As long as Xia Jing has something she needs, he would give his all without hesitation.

”Elder Sister Xia, just tell me. What do you need me to do this time?” Xiao Wei noticed Xia Jing didn’t look too well. ”What’s wrong? Elder Sister Xia?”

”It’s nothing too major, but there’s something I need you to take care of.”

”Elder Sister Xia, you don’t need to be polite with me. Just say it—I promise I’ll handle it for you!”

”Alright, Xiao Wei.” Xia Jing looked at Xiao Wei. ”By the way, Xiao Wei, do you know Li Jiayuan, the heiress of the Li Corporation?”

”Elder Sister Xia, of course I know her. What’s going on?”

”What’s going on? That heiress of the Li Corporation, Li Jiayuan, actually dared to steal my man! I want her gone. You should know what to do—you don’t need me to teach you this again. Go on!” After finishing, Xia Jing waved her hand and walked away.

Xiao Wei was still in a daze. He was baffled—how could Li Jiayuan, that brainless woman, end up crossing Elder Sister Xia? Everyone knows Xia Jing is the leader of the Mercenary Group, and that mercenaries are not to be trifled with. Did that woman lose her mind to provoke Elder Sister Xia? This time, it seems no one can save her. Xiao Wei couldn’t help but wonder how Li Jiayuan would react if she knew that the person coming to kill her was none other than the woman from whom she stole a man. Would she be utterly shocked?

Midnight.

Like a ghost, Xiao Wei crept into Li Jiayuan’s bedroom. Coincidentally, Li Jiayuan had just returned from outside and entered her bedroom, only to see a figure holding a knife. She froze in place, as if scared stiff and forgot how to react. Xiao Wei noticed Li Jiayuan standing there, unmoving, and suddenly felt hesitant. This silly, naïve girl—he was here to kill her, yet she just stood there without moving. Wasn’t she afraid he would simply finish her off with one strike?

Who the hell is this? Bold enough to break into my bedroom! And what’s even more infuriating is that he doesn’t leave when he sees the owner return—he just stands here! Is this guy crazy?

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

Xiao Wei smiled with a sinister edge as he looked at Li Jiayuan. ”Are you asking me?”

”Do your eyes not work? Or maybe your ears? If I’m not asking you, then who else could I be asking? You don’t see anyone else in here, do you? Just you, standing there, dressed like a thief!”

”Oh~ So you’re asking me? You don’t need to worry about who I am. You only need to know that I’m here to kill you. When you arrive at Yama’s Palace, you can ask Lord Yama who I am!” Xiao Wei swiftly placed the knife against Li Jiayuan’s neck.

”What are you doing? Just say it—how much money do you want?”

Does this silly, naïve girl really think I’m here to kill her just to extort her money? I came here on Elder Sister Xia’s orders to eliminate her!

”Li Jiayuan, don’t tell me you still don’t know why I want to kill you? Is this woman that clueless? Doesn’t she even realize who she’s offended?”

”Sorry, I really don’t know why you want to kill me. Are you targeting me just because I’m the heiress of the Li Corporation and you’re trying to extort me?” Li Jiayuan used her hand to push away the knife against her neck.

”Sigh, since you don’t know, I don’t mind telling you. The one thing you absolutely shouldn’t have done—the line you should never have crossed—you offended Elder Sister Xia. Offending her was one thing, but you went even further—you dared to steal her man! You know Elder Sister Xia is the leader of the Mercenary Group, and she has so many underlings at her beck and call. And yet, you chose to provoke her without a second thought. Isn’t that pretty much asking for death?”

After revealing the truth to Li Jiayuan, Xiao Wei looked at her with an almost pitiful gaze. But Li Jiayuan, amused by his expression, burst into laughter. She felt like this man in front of her was nothing more than Xia Jing’s loyal lapdog.

”Oh please, so you’re talking about that self-serving mercenary Xia Jing! I thought you meant someone else. So it turns out to be just that woman who’s deluded enough to dream of marrying into a rich family but can’t even earn the approval of her boyfriend’s parents! Hahaha! This is killing me—what a joke.” Li Jiayuan laughed hysterically.

...

Li Jiayuan was laughing gleefully, but Xiao Wei’s face turned grim. He hadn’t anticipated this reaction—the woman everyone feared, the mercenary leader, and yet this silly, naïve girl didn’t bat an eye. She even had the audacity to mock and belittle Xia Jing. This was truly the first time Xiao Wei had encountered someone so reckless. Was this woman not afraid of dying at all?
