The Beautiful Wife of the Whirlwind Marriage

Chapter 1336

The Two Of Them Were Pretty Much Joined At The Shoulder

“Miss Xue, look, quick. They’re in the living room. There’s nothing we can do now.”

Xue Mengqi frowned. When had these two people gathered together?

Had they not had a disagreement before and caused their collaboration to fall through?

But that had been many years ago. Thereafter, they had not been in touch for many years. Now that they were suddenly standing together again, it was a little astonishing.

The two of them sat there, making the entire living room seem very stifling.

When the maids went over to pour some tea, Black Eagle looked up. “Who exactly is in charge of this matter? Get that person here. Everyone else, don’t hang around where I can see you. You hear me?”

Hearing this, the maids were so frightened that all of them trembled.

“Our Miss Xue – Miss Xue, is busy.” The maid felt as if he had immediately seen through her lie. The moment she saw Black Eagle look up, she felt that death was imminent.

Sensing the situation, Li Mingyu said from beside him, “Hey, Black Eagle, don’t frighten them. Look. She’s a maid. She’s not Xue Mengqi. Why are you looking at her like that? This was the look in your eyes the last time you skinned someone alive. It scared me to death. You’re not going to skin anyone alive today, right?”

“…” The maid was really going to pee herself from fright.

Black Eagle glared at him. “Why do you have so much nonsense to say?”

“Oh no, don’t look at me. The moment you look at me, I feel as if I’m about to die from fright.” Li Mingyu pretended to be afraid.

The maid hastily said, “I’ll go and inform Miss Xue. Inform Miss Xue.”

The maid left trembling.

Xue Mengqi walked over and smiled. “I’m honored that the two of you are here. Your presence really brings light to my humble dwelling but I don’t know why the two of you are paying me a visit.”

Black Eagle immediately looked up. “Don’t pretend you don’t know. Were you the one who caused all that trouble concerning the kindergarten? My daughter has lessons there. If anything happens to her, I’m telling you. I haven’t skinned anyone alive before, but I don’t mind giving it a shot!”

Xue Mengqi’s body shivered at his comment.

However, she regained her senses immediately. He was only saying this. He would not actually… skin her alive.

“What kindergarten… Don’t be rash, Mr. Mo. These are baseless rumors. Don’t speak or act on hearsay. I know that Lin Che is your younger sister. You’ll definitely stand on her side. But you haven’t acknowledged each other for long. It’s not that I’m saying unpleasant things. It’s best that you don’t accidentally let yourself be used by others. This is an internal dispute in the Gu family. You can call it an internal struggle. She dragged you in to be the bird that sticks its head out. It truly… evokes deep reflection.”

The corners of Black Eagle’s mouth turned up. There was a cold sneer in his pitch-black eyes. “Are you trying to drive a rift between us?”

As expected of Xue Mengqi. She was so good with her words. Every sentence was a trap. She was even trying to wash herself of this matter. She appeared to have mentioned it casually but had pointed the sharp blade directly at Lin Che.

However, it seemed that Black Eagle had seen through her long ago.

It would be a bit difficult for her to drive a rift between him and Lin Che.

Because she did not understand them at all.

“That’s impossible. How can I drive a wedge between you? You two are siblings. There’s no way I would sow dissension between you two.”

Black Eagle said, “Besides, why are you calling this an internal struggle in the Gu family? Get this straight. I’m a shareholder of the kindergarten. That kindergarten is run by Lin Che and me. It has nothing to do with the Gu family at all. Now, you’ve gone to my kindergarten to cause poisoning and you even want us to hand the kindergarten over to the Gu family. Do you think I can stay on the sidelines?”

What…

He had shares in the kindergarten?

Sensing the situation, Li Mingyu hastily added, “That’s right. You’re underestimating us way too much. I invested a lot of money in there too. When did it become the Gu family’s?”

Xue Mengqi went silent again.

They had also investigated this kindergarten’s background. But they had not found out about this.

She had thought that since Lin Che was running the kindergarten, the money must have come from Gu Jingze. He was so rich and would be able to come up with the money no matter what.

Thus, she did not continue investigating further.

But she could not believe that the two people in front of her were now telling her that the kindergarten belonged to them.

What was she to do now?

Xue Mengqi’s eyes darted around swiftly.

“We just want Lin Che to account for the kindergarten’s funds. We didn’t say that it belonged to us.”

“Oh? We established it jointly. Why do we have to answer to you?” Li Mingyu asked.

Xue Mengqi paused. “Well…”

“It’s a kindergarten that I, Black Eagle, invested money to establish. Why do I have to account for the capital?”

“I’m not…”

“Then, what do you mean?”

“I…”

“I don’t care what you have to say now. I want you to give me an explanation.”

Xue Mengqi was completely speechless.

Because the two of them would not let her speak anyway.

In the end, Xue Mengqi nevertheless apologized and saw the two of them out.

Black Eagle and Li Mingyu scoffed and walked out.

Behind them, Xue Mengqi silently endured it and bit her lip.

It was only after sending the two of them off, that she turned around and slapped her younger brother behind her.

“Oh no. Older Sister, why did you hit me?”

Xue Mengqi turned around, her face ashen. Violent rage was written all over her face after having silently endured. “Why do you think I hit you? Hmph, you still have the cheek to say that? Why didn’t you thoroughly investigate the source of the capital? The kindergarten was set up by them. I can’t believe you didn’t know. You caused us to provoke these two people. We nearly couldn’t get ourselves out of this. Hmph, go and shut yourself away and ponder over your mistakes.”

He even caused her to be humiliated for no reason.

She had had to make amends and apologize earlier. She had even given them many benefits before sending the two of them away.

These two people were both hoodlums. They were definitely not easy to get rid of. They had left satisfied only after being given a bargain price for two pieces of land.

She had even promised them to apologize and to refrain from doing anything else to the kindergarten in the future.

She genuinely wanted to just tear down the kindergarten.

But this tiny kindergarten actually had so many people behind it…

Of course, she now knew that she could not touch it.

The maids outside also properly escorted the two of them out.

Li Mingyu only said after going out, “This Xue Mengqi is quite impressive too. She has been holding the Gu family up until now.”

Black Eagle said, “I think she’s nothing to fear. We’ll be able to get rid of her sooner or later anyway.”

Only then did he remember that he had not been in contact with Li Mingyu for many years. Because after their initial collaboration, and because of their mutual betrayal, their relationship had basically broken down.

Earlier, Li Mingyu had actually acted as if they were very familiar with each other. It was as if he had forgotten how the two of them had nearly killed each other back then.

“Hmph, I’ll go back first.” Black Eagle schooled his face into a neutral expression.

“Tsk. I’m going back too. But you don’t have to look at me like that too. Those incidents happened so many years ago. You’re Lin Che’s brother. I’m on such good terms with Lin Che. I definitely won’t treat you poorly.”

Black Eagle rolled his eyes at him. As if he wanted to be friends with him.

However, since he was in fact on Lin Che’s side, Black Eagle would not continue to hold grudges against him.

Li Mingyu genuinely felt that he could resolve his differences with many people for Lin Che’s sake. Furthermore, this person was Lin Che’s older brother.

He had no choice. It was all because Lin Che was just so charismatic.

He simply wanted to stick close to Lin Che.
