Chapter 169 - 169: I Can Take The Risk
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Yujing Peak was a large building with a grey-brown color. The overall style was industrial, but the garden and plants were well taken care of.
Qin Huaijing liked it at first sight. It was not only because it was grand and secluded, but also because it was hard to find a villa by the sea. He did not expect Ye Weiyin to be so generous. He did not know if it was because she was still reluctant to part with him.
The bodyguard pressed the doorbell, and soon, Aunt Qi came out to welcome him. Because Lin Wanli had specifically instructed her, Aunt Qi took the initiative to push Qin Huaijing’s wheelchair. She greeted, “You’re here, Sir.”
“My mission is complete.” The bodyguard put Qin Huaijing’s luggage back into the courtyard and then bade farewell to Qin Huaijing. “Goodbye.”
“Goodbye, goodbye.” Qin Huaijing had no feelings for a stranger. He waved his hand at the bodyguard perfunctorily.
He even wanted to chat with Aunt Qi, but before he could open his mouth, he was shocked by the scene in front of him.
Ten bodyguards in black stood in two rows. They were tall and mighty, almost two meters tall, and their faces were all filled with killing intent. At the end of the lines of bodyguards was Huo Jiuxiao, who was sitting on a chair with his elbows on his knees. He spread his legs and leaned forward, looking lazy and dangerous.
Qin Huaijing’s face instantly turned pale when he looked up.
“I… I might have come to the wrong place.” Qin Huaijing explained in a trembling voice because he was afraid that Huo Jiuxiao would kill him in the next second.
He thought that he had barged into a murder scene.
However, Huo Jiuxiao waved his hand and lowered it naturally. He said to Qin
Huaijing, “You didn’t go to the wrong place.”
After that, Huo Jiuxiao propped himself up and raised his chin to look at Qin
Huaijing with disdain. It wasn’t without reason that Master Xiao had been ‘notorious’ for so many years. Today, Qin Huaijing was purely lucky. If he didn’t have the temperament of someone who didn’t want to live anymore and was ready to commit murder and break the law at any time like Lin Wanli, he could make people feel danger at the door.
“I… I don’t think I’ve ever offended you.”
Qin Huaijing was a little stronger than President Liu who also met Huo Jiuxiao. At least he didn’t forget to breathe.
However, his four limbs were also trembling, he was barely able to hide it.
“You didn’t offend him, because you offended me.” At this moment, Lin Wanli walked out of the living room in a white dress.
Qin Huaijing was shocked when he saw Lin Wanli. For a moment, he couldn’t figure out why the two of them were together.
After Lin Wanli said this, she walked to Huo Jiuxiao’s side and bent down to kiss him on the cheek. “It’s time to go to work. Don’t even think about slacking off.”
Huo Jiuxiao grabbed Lin Wanli’s neck, pulled her close to him, and kissed her deeply. Then he pointed his chin at Qin Huaijing and said, “Aren’t you going to wait for me to bury that for you?”
Lin Wanli laughed, “I won’t ‘bury’ for now.”
Huo Jiuxiao nodded and stood up. However, before he left, he gave Qin Huaijing a disgusted look.
Qin Huaijing felt a chill down his spine, and his mind went blank.
This was because he wanted to search his mind for any clues about the two of them. However, other than the Old Madam’s birthday banquet, no one knew that the two of them were so close.
“Protect Madam.”
“Yes, Sir.” The bodyguards answered in unison.
Qin Huaijing clenched his fists and saw Lin Wanli sitting down at the spot where Huo Jiuxiao had stood up. She greeted, “Long time no see, Dad.”
“I wanted to let you go when I saw how hard you were trying to run away, but after thinking about it carefully, I can’t let you off so easily.”
“Wanli… Let’s talk things out, let’s talk things out!” Qin Huaijing said nervously, “For the sake of our father and daughter relationship, please let me go. I’m really afraid of Huo Jiuxiao.”
After Lin Wanli heard this, she raised her slender index finger and made a ‘No’ gesture. She replied, “It wasn’t easy to get you back. How can I let you leave so easily?”
After saying that, Lin Wanli stood up from her chair and took two steps forward. She continued, “Actually, I don’t want you to do much, and it’s not something overboard either. I just want you to go and meet your eldest daughter, Ye Zhenzhen, at the family recognition banquet tomorrow. Then,
you can make the scandal between you and Ye Weiyin public. Isn’t it easy?” “Wanli, this…” Qin Huaijing looked troubled.
Lin Wanli’s smile disappeared, and her gaze turned ruthless. She threatened, “No one can escape unscathed after betraying me and my mother, let alone you. If you really want to choose, fine. You can either steal the limelight at the family recognition banquet and then I’ll send you abroad again, or I’ll bury you.”
At this moment, Qin Huaijing’s breathing was tight.
Who said only Huo Jiuxiao could give people a sense of oppression? At this time, Lin Wanli also had a powerful aura and the ability to make people submit.
“As long as I do this, you will… Let me go?
“I’ve always been one with my words, but you better not become the exception.”
Did Qin Huaijing still have a choice? He had no choice at all. Even if he escaped abroad, he could be brought back immediately. He felt that he had no other choice but to obey.
He had known that Lin Wanli was a lunatic after she returned to the country, but he had never expected that she had the Yama Huo Jiuxiao behind her. If the two of them were together, once they were provoked, even if the person who provoked them didn’t die, they would lose a layer of skin. At this time, Qin Huaijing couldn’t care less about the embarrassment. He just wanted tomorrow night to come quickly. Once the matter of the family recognition banquet was over, he could immediately go far away.
He did not want to experience the feeling of being thrown into the sewers.
Ye Zhenzhen and her mother were on their own.
Ye Zhenzhen and her mother sat in the living room the whole night after they got home. Xu Menglan looked at the two’s dejected faces and knew how badly Ye Zhenzhen had been humiliated by Lin Wanli at the family banquet. If Ye Zhenzhen had admitted her mistake, she would not have been beaten up so badly. However, Ye Zhenzhen did not believe that she would be taken down by Lin Wanli and be made a laughingstock.
Early in the morning, Xu Menglan made some porridge and placed it in front of the two of them. She comforted them, “Weiyin, Zhenzhen, please eat at least a little. If you continue like this, your bodies won’t be able to take it.”
However, Ye Zhenzhen did not make a move. Instead, she looked up at Ye Weiyin who was sitting across the sofa. Then, she said, “Mom, tomorrow is the best chance because we can control the process of tomorrow’s banquet. I want to repeat what happened two years ago, but this time, I want to use myself as bait.”
“That’s such a big occasion. What will others think of you?” Ye Weiyin retorted.
“It doesn’t matter. Isn’t Zhou Tingyang going to marry me?” Ye Zhenzhen sneered, “As long as I can win, I can take the risk.”
Xu Menglan didn’t fully understand what she was saying. In the end, she subconsciously looked at a certain spot on the television wall.
It didn’t matter if she didn’t understand. She still had surveillance cameras.
In fact, Ye Zhenzhen planned to drug herself so that she would be humiliated in public. Then, she would frame Lin Wanli and expose Lin Wanli’s ‘evil’ face in front of all the guests, so that she would be despised by everyone in Jinchuan.
Since Lin Wanli started with what happened two years ago, then Ye Zhenzhen would end it with what happened two years ago..
