"I don't know what you're truly thinking, but this plan needs to be put on the agenda. Otherwise, once the Meng Group is acquired by them, I'll have no chance!" Meng Lei's eyes held a hint of resentment as he spoke, suppressing his dissatisfaction to avoid making a mess of the room.
When Qin Yue thought that Chen Li Shu would also suffer, she eagerly inquired, "Do you have any new plans on your end? Don't worry, I will cooperate with you perfectly, and there will be no unexpected accidents!" Da Feng Novel Network.
Meng Lei rested one hand on the table, tapping it rhythmically with a sense of oppressive authority, "You have no opportunity here. I plan to find someone from outside to cooperate with me."
Upon hearing his words, Qin Yue's smile turned pale. Was he going to abandon her? No, absolutely not. Having enjoyed the life of a young lady again thanks to Meng Lei during this time, where would she go if she were driven out of the courtyard?
Her former friends had cut ties with her after she was kicked out of the Qin family, fearing association with someone as if she were a virus. Now, her only reliance was Meng Lei, and he was about to cast her aside. Qin Yue was filled with unhappiness.
Qin Yue took a deep breath and revealed her true nature, "Don't forget, we are like grasshoppers tied together. If you want to abandon me, you'll have to kill me. After all, dead men tell no tales!"
Hearing her words, Meng Lei slowly lifted his eyelids, then stood up and moved closer to Qin Yue.
As the person drew nearer, Qin Yue felt goosebumps rise on her back, and a sense of foreboding crept into her heart. She wanted to escape, but Meng Lei gave her no such opportunity. He grabbed her by the neck and said coldly, "You want to threaten me? Not in this lifetime! If you push me too far, don't think I wouldn't dare to lay a hand on you. I'd deal with you right here in front of everyone!"
Looking at the fleeting murderous intent in Meng Lei's eyes, Qin Yue felt no doubt that he was speaking the truth. Overwhelmed by fear, her legs began to go weak. Tears welled up in her eyes, and she feigned a pitiful expression, asking,
"After spending so much time together, don't you have any feelings for me at all? I don't want to be separated from you. I know I'm not of much use, but I'm willing to stay by your side as your mistress! Please, don't send me away, okay?"
Perhaps Qin Yue's words pleased Meng Lei, as the corners of his mouth curled upward slightly. He beckoned her over, "Come here."
Qin Yue looked at Meng Lei calling her as if she were a dog, her eyes filled with dissatisfaction. However, in order to continue staying in the courtyard and by Meng Lei's side, she had to suppress her discontent, plastering a fawning smile on her face as she approached him.
Meng Lei looked at Qin Yue with great satisfaction and then explained, "I never said I was going to kick you out! I just want to find someone to work with you from the inside, and for both of you to seize the opportunity to stir up conflict between the old woman and Chen Li Shu."
Hearing Meng Lei's plan, Qin Yue immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Her eyes, still dewy, looked at him, and she stated her resolve with firm determination, "Don't worry, I will complete your task perfectly and will never disappoint you again!"

Meanwhile, the peaceful courtyard was suddenly graced by a rather unexpected guest.
The doorbell rang continuously. Mother He, supporting her weary body, went to the door. When she saw who it was, her expression instantly turned serious.
Seeing Mother He appear, Zhang Wan Er's expression became instantly well-behaved. She straightened her body like a good girl and greeted, "You must be Old Madam He? I am Zhang Wan Er, Zhang Tian Zhu's niece. My maternal grandfather said that you were very good friends with him when you were young. Seeing the person my maternal grandfather always talks about, I am also very happy."
Old Master He, hearing the commotion outside, angrily put down his newspaper and sarcastically called out towards the person outside, "Zhang Tian Zhu's niece? Your mouth is as glib as your maternal grandfather's!
This young girl is truly something. Her appearance doesn't resemble her parents but rather her maternal grandfather. Most importantly, her character is just like her maternal grandfather's. Back then, her grandfather pestered a married woman relentlessly.
You know, we've been in the capital for such a long time, yet Zhang Tian Zhu never came to find us to catch up. Could it be that he's ashamed of his experiences from when he was young? That's why he's too embarrassed to see us!"
Hearing Old Master He say so many disrespectful things about her maternal grandfather, Zhang Wan Er almost lost her smile and even felt like arguing with Old Master He! She knew that these two were Chen Li Shu's godparents, so it was natural for them to side with her.
Mother He agreed with Old Master He's words. Therefore, despite her good upbringing, she did not stoop to saying vulgar words like Old Master He. However, when she saw Zhang Wan Er unmoved, speaking to her: "That was all in the past when we were young. Who hasn't acted impulsively when they were young? If you don't act impulsively, then what do you call youth?
I heard that grandma is now living in Country M and has become the richest tycoon there. I must say, my maternal grandfather had excellent taste when he was young. He bravely pursued love. That's my role model. It doesn't matter if you don't succeed; at least you tried, right? What do you say, Grandma He!"
Old Madam He's mouth twitched slightly, wishing she could pry open the girl's head to see what was inside. She had no sense of propriety or shame. If they were an unmarried man and woman, striving for one's happiness wouldn't be a major issue, but the critical point was that Zhang Wan Er wanted to seduce a married man!
Listening to Zhang Wan Er's shameless words, the elderly couple's impression of her greatly diminished. Mother He questioned her with a displeased expression, "What is your purpose in coming here? We have some matters to attend to in our home, so it's not convenient to invite you in for a chat."
"I want to talk to Li Shu about something. I wonder if Li Shu is at home?" Zhang Wan Er said, craning her neck to look inside. It was unclear if she was looking for Chen Li Shu or Gu Xing Dong!
Mother He subtly blocked Zhang Wan Er's view, took a deep breath, and slowly said, "If I remember correctly, you two don't seem to be very familiar with each other, so there isn't much to talk about. Since that's the case, please return, Miss Zhang. My Li Shu hasn't been in the mood to see unpleasant people or things lately."
