"Hey, hey, hey, look..."
Shu Yao pointed ahead and said to Meng Jingwei, "What you don't want, someone else is eager to have."
Even though Shu Yao was foolish, she could tell that Qing Muye liked her.
She shook her head, "Sigh, what a good man, why don't you want him?"
Meng Jingwei gave her a sidelong glance, "Compared to the one who proposed to you, he's not just a little bit lacking."
"So, you think he's too 'poor'?"
"Get lost! What are you thinking? I mean that when it comes to feelings, you can't force it! After all, in comparison, the man who proposed to you is considered a proud son of heaven, and you still don't like him."
After speaking, Meng Jingwei looked up and saw Chu Xue already linking arms with Qing Muye, and the two of them entered the venue.
But for some reason, seeing Chu Xue, that deeply scheming woman, so close to Qing Muye, Meng Jingwei inexplicably felt a pang of displeasure.
Shu Yao intimately linked arms with Meng Jingwei, and the two walked into the banquet hall.
Not long after the two entered, a Land Rover drove over.
The car door opened, and Xiao Cheng got out.
After being injured in the warehouse last time, Xiao Cheng had been recuperating in the hospital, but because he was shot on the upper right side of his knee and did not injure the bone, he was discharged so quickly.
After all, this minor injury, for him, was something he could endure.
However, Xiao Meiyan was not so lucky. She was shot twice, once in each leg, and one shot caused severe comminution of the meniscus in Xiao Meiyan's knee.
She was now undergoing conservative treatment in the hospital, and if the situation worsened, she would very likely be crippled in the future!
Xiao Cheng closed the car door, subconsciously reached out to adjust his tie, and just as he was about to leave the parking lot, someone walked out beside him.
"Young Master Xiao."
Li Yun'er, who had been waiting for a long time, emerged from behind a sedan. "I've been waiting for you for a long time."
She said directly.
Seeing Li Yun'er walking towards him, Xiao Cheng narrowed his sharp eyes. "Miss Li, what is it you want with me?"
A few days ago, Li Yun'er had told the media that the person who kidnapped her that day was an enemy of Qing Muye. Although it was just a superficial statement to deal with others, her appearance before him now naturally indicated that Li Yun'er still didn't know the truth.
However, the truth was the exact opposite.
Although Li Yun'er did not have the power to cover the sky with one hand, her father, Li Fu'an, had sent people to investigate the matter thoroughly. He had said that the mastermind was Xiao Cheng's sister, Xiao Meiyan.
At first, Li Yun'er did not believe it, but later, Qing Sihai visited her frequently. She indirectly asked Qing Sihai and got confirmation from him.
Only then did she realize that the person who harmed her was Xiao Meiyan!
But Li Yun'er was unwilling.
Before this, Xiao Meiyan and Meng Jingwei had been very close. It was highly possible that Meng Jingwei had sown discord or incited Xiao Meiyan to do this.
Li Yun'er, carrying her limited edition Hermès, walked up to Xiao Cheng. "I'm looking for Young Master Xiao, naturally because I want to discuss cooperation with you."
In more than half a month, she had not appeared in the public eye. Upon their reunion, she had lost a lot of weight and her complexion had worsened considerably, but under the cover of makeup, she still looked 'rosy-cheeked.'
"Cooperation?"
Xiao Cheng leaned against the car, asking with interest, "I have no prior dealings with Miss Li, and our ambitions do not align. What kind of cooperation would there be?"
"Young Master Xiao is being too narrow-minded."
Li Yun'er's gaze swept around, ensuring no one was nearby, then she lowered her voice and said, "Although we are not friends, the enemy of my enemy is my friend."
"Oh, what do you mean?"
"I heard from gossip that because you approached Meng Jingwei, Qing Muye's men injured you and your sister, sending you to the hospital. Is that true?"
Li Yun'er pretended to be unaware of what happened at the wedding.
She was now alone and unable to fight against the masses, so she had to win over someone to be her backer.
And among the people around her, Xiao Cheng was the most suitable.
If she and Xiao Cheng could reach an agreement, not only could they deal with Qing Muye and Meng Jingwei, but after gaining Xiao Cheng's trust, she could also seize the opportunity to retaliate against Xiao Meiyan!
These painful days had smoothed out Li Yun'er's sharp edges, making her learn to endure more.
"You... how do you know?" Xiao Cheng was somewhat suspicious of Li Yun'er.
"It's all over the circle, how could I not know?" Li Yun'er sighed. "I admire Young Master Xiao's persistence in love, just like how I madly loved Qing Muye back then, only to be kicked away by him in the end."
Xiao Cheng felt a slight aversion to her approach.
"Do you know who else attacked me that day besides Qing Muye?" Xiao Cheng asked back.
"Of course I know, isn't it Meng Jingwei?"
"Since you know, you should also know that it was Xiao Meiyan who sent people to deal with you that day."
"Hehehe, yes, Meng Jingwei said so, and Qing Muye said so too. But I, Li Yun'er, am not a fool. I have no enmity with Xiao Meiyan, why would she send people to kidnap me?"
Li Yun'er gave a self-deprecating smile. "I haven't sent people to investigate? There's no evidence whatsoever that Xiao Meiyan did it. But Qing Muye insists it was her? Why would he say that? Isn't it just to 'cover up the truth' for that slut Meng Jingwei? Because he likes Meng Jingwei and is afraid that if the matter is exposed, the elderly Mrs. Qing will be disappointed in Meng Jingwei, so he framed Xiao Meiyan and sent people to injure you siblings to solidify the matter.
With Qing Muye's credibility, even without concrete evidence, as long as he publicly declared that Xiao Meiyan did it, then Xiao Meiyan did it!"
And Li Yun'er herself did not understand why Xiao Meiyan would do such a thing.
The most likely possibility was that she was being used by that slut Meng Jingwei.
Xiao Cheng's cold eyes looked down at Li Yun'er, his deep gaze seeming to pierce through her thoughts from her eyes.
Little did he know that Li Yun'er's greatest skill was 'acting.'
Her clear, watery eyes were filled with innocence and anger, how could they possibly seem fake?
Xiao Cheng was somewhat confused. Could it be that she really didn't know the truth?
"Young Master Xiao doesn't believe me? Heh."
She gave a self-deprecating smile. "Back then, it was because I impersonated Meng Jingwei and claimed to be Qing Muye's savior. As a result, when the truth was revealed, he heartlessly canceled the engagement and even took me to the hospital for an abortion!"
Speaking of this, Li Yun'er became a little agitated. She directly rummaged through her bag, pulled out a check-up report, and slapped it onto Xiao Cheng. "It's because of Qing Muye that I am now unable to conceive and will never be able to have children again in my life. I hate him, I hate Meng Jingwei, I must get revenge!"
To cooperate with Xiao Cheng and gain his trust was very important, and Li Yun'er's half-true, half-false words, accompanied by a hospital proof, was the best way to gain trust.
Xiao Cheng listened to her speaking through gritted teeth, lowered his head to look at the check-up report in his hand, and the result indeed showed that she had very little chance of conceiving.
"Are you so confident that this was definitely Meng Jingwei's doing?" he asked tentatively.
"Of course!"
Li Yun'er said indignantly, "The night before I was kidnapped, Meng Jingwei sneaked into my house late at night, entered my room from the second-floor balcony, and held a dagger to my throat, intending to kill me. If my parents hadn't appeared in time, I would have died that night! But when Meng Jingwei left, she even set my bedroom on fire!"
