"Grandmother Qing, let's talk about those things later. You should rest well now."
Feeling honored by Old Mrs. Qing's fondness for her, Meng Jingwei felt deeply fortunate.
"Still 'Grandmother Qing'? You should call me Grandma now!"
Old Mrs. Qing corrected her.
Her stubbornness made Meng Jingwei smile, "Alright, Grandma. I'll go out now. You should sleep for a while." She got up and walked out of the ward.
Qing Muye looked worried. "The doctor ordered you to talk less and rest more."
"I know. You go out too."
Old Mrs. Qing glanced at Qing Muye, waving him away impatiently.
The man said nothing more, turned, and walked out of the ward, closing the door.
In the hallway, Meng Jingwei stood by the elevator, waiting.
Qing Muye strode over and, just as the elevator doors opened and she was about to enter, he grabbed her.
"Hey, hey, Qing Muye, what are you doing?"
Her wrist held tightly by him, Meng Jingwei struggled.
Qing Muye dragged her into the stairwell and pushed her against the wall. His arrogant face held a hint of coldness. "Scheming to get close to Grandma, what do you want?"
"Scheming? Qing Muye, do you have paranoid delusions?"
She was furious.
Taking out her phone, she played a video and held it up vertically in front of Qing Muye. "Watch this. This is a video of me saving someone in the park. Before saving her, I had no idea she was Old Mrs. Qing. Or are you deifying me, thinking I can predict everything?"
Qing Muye glanced at the video but remained indifferent.
His jade-like fingers pinched her chin, and he curled his lips slightly. "Listen carefully. After entering the Qing family, think clearly about what you should and shouldn't do."
The man's dark, cold eyes swept over Meng Jingwei, and he leaned closer. "If I ever discover you have any ulterior motives towards Grandma, I will show you what it means to... wish you were dead!"
"You're crazy!"
Meng Jingwei pushed Qing Muye away. "In your eyes, everyone who appears has ulterior motives. Then why haven't you suspected Li Yun'er?"
Clearly, Li Yun'er was the real deceiver, yet he believed her without question.
Mentioning Li Yun'er, Qing Muye suddenly recalled Song Ci's investigation into Meng Jingwei.
He directly questioned her, "I'd really like to know, by what means did you trick two million from the Li family?"
Meng Jingwei was stunned. How did he know about the two million?
"You investigated me?"
"Someone plotting against Grandma, how can I not investigate thoroughly to know how despicable you are?"
"Heh, plotting?"
Meng Jingwei scoffed, finding his words utterly ridiculous.
Shaking her head helplessly, she disdained to explain further to Qing Muye and bypassed him, leaving.
But the man unhurriedly grabbed her collar and pulled her back, warning, "Since Grandma likes you, you can stay here and take care of her."
"Why should I? Don't I have a job?"
Meng Jingwei naturally wouldn't agree to Qing Muye's words, thinking he must have a problem with his brain. "You're the one who said I was plotting against Grandma, and you're the one telling me to stay and take care of her. Qing Muye, don't you think you're living a contradictory life?"
"Just do as I say."
"I won't. I have to work to earn money."
"Ten thousand a day."
Qing Muye readily offered her a daily wage.
"Alright. Pay me first, then I'll work."
"Your greedy nature is exposed so quickly."
"Who would refuse money?"
Meng Jingwei rolled her eyes at him.
Her arrogant demeanor annoyed Qing Muye, but he didn't say much more.
As they walked out of the stairwell, she said to Qing Muye, "I need to go back and change my clothes, then I'll come back."
Qing Muye didn't respond, implicitly agreeing.
An hour later, Meng Jingwei, dressed in casual wear with her hair in a ponytail, reappeared at the hospital, only to find Li Yun'er and Zhao Ruolan in the living room outside the ward.
Yesterday, Meng Jingwei had exposed Li Yun'er's "twin sister," causing a sensation and hitting the trending news.
The Li family had hired public relations to handle it immediately, but they had not appeared or responded to the matter.
"Meng Jingwei, what are you doing here?"
Upon seeing Meng Jingwei, Li Yun'er glanced at Qing Muye, then back at Meng Jingwei, her eyes first filled with surprise, then suspicion.
Zhao Ruolan was the same.
Meng Jingwei's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly explained, "I was hired by Grandma Qing..."
She had intended to say she was a domestic helper hired by Old Mrs. Qing.
Before she could finish, she heard Qing Muye say, "She's Grandma's god-granddaughter."
"Qing Muye, shut up!"
Meng Jingwei shouted, trying to stop Qing Muye from speaking.
But it was too late.
As Qing Muye finished speaking, Li Yun'er's pupils widened as if greatly stimulated. "God-granddaughter?"
"Heh heh heh, Muye, what's going on?" Zhao Ruolan's face showed embarrassment as she let out a dry laugh, a mixture of shock and anger.
Meng Jingwei was the most furious.
She clenched her fists, her eyes glaring at Qing Muye, her fierce gaze as if she could devour him alive.
From hitting Li Yun'er at the Western restaurant that day, to being sent to the police station by the Li family, and then exposing Li Yun'er's twin sister...
All these events were meant to provoke the Li family, to incite their anger.
For what purpose?
All this elaborate effort was to force the Li family into a rage, so much so that they would try to kill her.
She was using herself as bait, forcing the Li family to attack her, so she could collect evidence, obtain their criminal evidence, and hand it over to the police, thereby bringing the Li family to justice.
In this way, she would also be indirectly avenging her adoptive parents.
But who knew that with Qing Muye's words, the Li family would inevitably consider her status as Old Mrs. Qing's god-granddaughter, and how could they 'try to kill her'?
Her carefully laid plan was ruined by Qing Muye!
In her haste, she had angrily reprimanded Qing Muye, but after calming down, she realized Qing Muye's gaze towards her was chilling.
Meng Jingwei's lips twitched slightly, and she awkwardly touched her forehead, giving a sheepish smile. "It's not even a done deal, Brother, don't just say things."
Since the Li family already knew she was Old Mrs. Qing's god-granddaughter, the current situation called for doing whatever it took to make the Li family angry.
Perhaps, her plan still had a chance to be implemented.
Zhao Ruolan and Li Yun'er were furious at Meng Jingwei's flirtatious words, but with Qing Muye present, they dared not speak their minds.
"Oh my goodness, how unexpected. Jingwei, congratulations! We can live in the Qing family together from now on."
Li Yun'er walked up to Meng Jingwei and, feigning closeness, took her hand.
Because her back was to Qing Muye, Li Yun'er did not need to hide her facial expressions. Therefore, her gaze at Meng Jingwei was filled with malevolence and deep hatred.
