Especially now that she was carrying Qing Muye's child, she needed to be careful before marrying into the Qing family.
She dared not act rashly.
"Meng Jingwei, you deserve it! You know I'm engaged to Qing Muye, yet you still stayed in Nightfall Apartment with him. Aren't you just a slut? If you can't marry into the Qing family, you shamelessly want to be a mistress... Ah..."
Li Yun'er poured out all the words she had been holding back. However, halfway through, Meng Jingwei slapped her across the face. "I'll give you a chance to rephrase that."
The slap landed with full force, stinging her cheek.
Li Yun'er gritted her teeth, glaring at Meng Jingwei in the dim light. "You're just a slut, a cheap slut who hooks up with Qing... Slap!"
"I'll give you another chance."
"No matter how many chances you give me, you're still a slut, shamelessly crawling... Slap!"
"Say it again!"
"You're a slut... Slap!"
"Say it again."
"You are..." Li Yun'er had been slapped several times. Even though she wanted to insult Meng Jingwei further, thinking of her own beautiful face, she couldn't bring herself to utter another word.
She was both angry and wronged. "I warned you long ago to stay away from Brother Muye. You're looking for death."
Hearing Li Yun'er's words, Meng Jingwei's anger surged. Her hand, clutching the dagger, trembled uncontrollably.
For a moment, a murderous intent arose. She wished she could kill Li Yun'er directly and avenge her family.
Tap, tap, tap—
Suddenly, the sound of light footsteps grew closer.
Meng Jingwei's brows furrowed slightly. She glanced towards the bedroom door.
The next moment, the door was pushed open, and with a click, the bedroom light suddenly switched on, illuminating the entire room.
Li Fu'an and his wife, hearing the commotion upstairs, immediately sensed something was wrong and rushed downstairs.
As expected, it was indeed Meng Jingwei.
Seeing Meng Jingwei with one foot on the bed, her left elbow propped on her knee, and her right hand holding a dagger to Li Yun'er's throat, she was terrified.
"Meng Jingwei, what are you doing?"
Li Fu'an, also quite frightened, pointed a trembling finger at Meng Jingwei. "Put down the knife immediately. You're trespassing. If I call the police, you'll be in jail for the rest of your life."
"Wuwuwu... Daddy, Mommy, you're finally here, wuwu... Save me, save me. Call the police quickly... Ah!"
Before Li Yun'er could finish speaking, Meng Jingwei slapped her twice, one on each side, perfectly symmetrical.
"I told you to shut up, can't you hear?"
Meng Jingwei snapped, her cold eyes sweeping towards the Li couple standing at the door. "I underestimated you. A mere Li family, acting so recklessly, openly hiring people to kill me. Aren't you disappointed I'm still alive?"
Hatred.
Endless hatred surged in her heart.
Meng Jingwei truly felt it was her fate to be born as Li Fu'an and his wife's biological daughter.
"Kill, kill you?"
The two were stunned, tilting their heads to look at each other, then exchanged a knowing glance at Li Yun'er, finally understanding the situation.
"From the time Li Zirui was to donate bone marrow until now, you've attacked me so many times. Today, if I don't do something, I'll be letting you off too easily."
Meng Jingwei had no intention of leaving easily today.
If she didn't teach the Li family a lesson, they would truly treat her like a pushover.
"You, what do you want to do?"
Li Fu'an pointed at her. "I warn you, don't mess around."
"Mmm... Mom, I'm scared, mmm..."
Although Meng Jingwei had previously lost her temper and hit Li Yun'er, she had never felt such intense rage as she did today.
Li Yun'er was afraid Meng Jingwei would lose control and slit her throat with a single strike.
"Heh, you're scared now?"
Meng Jingwei smiled faintly.
The smile on her red lips was particularly chilling.
Then, she reached into her pocket, pulled out a lighter, flicked it on with a click, and held it up.
"What are you doing?"
"Meng Jingwei, you can't do this. Li Yun'er is your older sister."
"Meng... Meng Jingwei, are you crazy, what are you doing?"
The three of them turned pale, their hearts pounding with fear.
But Meng Jingwei calmly surveyed them, bent down, and directly set fire to the quilt Li Yun'er was covered with.
The goose down quilt, pure goose down, ignited with the slightest touch.
"Fu'an, quickly, call for help!"
"Mom, save me... mmm... I don't want to die..."
Li Yun'er, realizing Meng Jingwei was serious, was terrified and almost wet herself.
Having been pampered, she had never experienced such worldly perils!
"Don't move!"
Meng Jingwei's voice was sharp. "Let's see who dares to move! If anyone moves, I'll cut her throat. What, a little fire scares you? The other day, you set fire to my house, didn't you think about letting me live?"
"Wuwu... Mom, save me, I'm scared." Seeing the quilt burning, Li Yun'er kicked the goose down quilt onto the floor but dared not move anything above her chest, fearing accidental injury.
She cried rivers of tears and muttered, "Why isn't the smoke alarm system reacting at all?"
"Don't worry. Even if your house burns down today, the smoke detection system won't be triggered. Because..." A cold smile appeared on Meng Jingwei's beautiful face, chilling and sharp, "I turned off your water supply before I came."
Since she was here, she had no intention of letting them off easily.
No matter what, she had to teach them a lesson.
The goose down quilt burned quickly, and the cashmere carpet and other flammable materials on the floor only accelerated the fire.
In a short while, the flames spread upwards.
Li Fu'an and Zhao Ruolan stood by, anxious. Zhao Ruolan shouted outside, "Old Gui, quickly, go get someone to open the water valve. There's a fire, hurry!"
"Mmm... I'm scared..."
Li Yun'er was truly terrified.
With tear-reddened eyes, she pursed her red lips, feeling death drawing closer. She couldn't help but surrender, "I'm sorry, Meng Jingwei, it was my fault. I shouldn't have treated you like that, I'm truly sorry."
Her soul nearly fled her body, Li Yun'er kept apologizing to Meng Jingwei. "I was just jealous... jealous that you and Brother Muye are close, wuwu... You can't kill me. I'm carrying Brother Muye's child. If I die, Brother Muye won't let you go."
Meng Jingwei snorted coldly, raised her hand holding the dagger, and with a bang, flung it out, embedding it directly into the cabinet beside Li Fu'an.
At that moment, her movements were lightning fast, and the dagger flew directly towards Li Fu'an, making him break out in a cold sweat.
Zing—
The dagger sank several inches into the wooden cabinet, emitting a low thudding sound.
Without the threat of the dagger, Li Yun'er scrambled up from the bed, tumbled to the floor, and crawled towards the door. "Mmm... You scared me to death."
