That time at Shu Yao’s villa, Meng Jingwei had crippled Qing Sihhuai, but later heard that Qing Sihhuai had spent a fortune to find top international andrologist doctors for treatment.
One could imagine, the results must have been quite good.
“Damn it, you want to die…”
Qing Sihhuai flew into a rage and slapped towards Meng Jingwei.
The move made Pei Ying’s heart skip a beat, and she immediately rushed forward, intending to shield her…
To her surprise, she saw Meng Jingwei catch Qing Sihhuai’s wrist with her bare hand, as if it were welded by steel, unmoving.
Her thin lips parted slightly, “Even if I’m to die, you’ll only die before me.”
With that, she forcefully flung Qing Sihhuai away.
Whether it was her astonishing strength or the slippery, snow-covered ground, Qing Sihhuai stumbled a few steps before regaining his balance.
Meng Jingwei left a parting remark and turned to leave.
…
In the afternoon, back in the city center, Meng Jingwei arranged to meet Shi Ran and Lin Meng for afternoon tea.
The two knew that Qing Muye’s situation had greatly affected Meng Jingwei, so they tacitly avoided mentioning his name.
As they were chatting, Meng Jingwei’s WeChat notification pinged.
She picked up her phone and opened WeChat. It was a message from Xiao Cheng, displaying: [Picture].
Xiao Cheng had saved her on their wedding day. Afterward, she had been hospitalized. When Xiao Cheng woke up, he had left without saying goodbye, and neither of them had contacted each other since.
Meng Jingwei tapped on the picture. It was an invitation.
A red invitation, with hot-stamped gold lettering, even the small invitation exuded a sense of exclusivity in its design.
Ding—
Another WeChat message came through.
[The day after tomorrow is my wedding. Do you want to attend?]
Xiao Cheng asked her.
Meng Jingwei’s memory flashed back to their wedding day, on the back mountain of the Xishan Villa, where she had watched helplessly as Xiao Cheng took a bullet for her, lying on the ground.
The mercenary had asked Antina if she wanted to kill her?
Xiao Cheng had weakly shaken his head and said to Antina, “When I’ve recovered, I’ll marry you.”
In order to save her life, he had traded it for the condition of ‘marrying Antina’.
Looking at the words on the phone screen, she could almost visualize Xiao Cheng’s dissolute and unrestrained face, with his urbane smile, exuding an irresistible charm.
But Meng Jingwei felt a dull ache in her chest, a pain that wasn’t like a knife cut, but a dense, stinging ache that spread to every cell in her body.
“Sister Wei, what’s wrong?”
Shi Ran noticed Meng Jingwei’s unusual expression and quickly asked with concern.
Lin Meng, standing beside her, also asked, “Are you alright?”
Meng Jingwei placed her phone on the table and smiled faintly, “I’m fine. I just wanted to see you both, that’s all.”
Her smile didn’t reach her eyes, and it even seemed somewhat perfunctory.
But Shi Ran and the others were already accustomed to it.
It seemed that ever since Qing Muye’s disappearance, they hadn’t seen Meng Jingwei’s genuinely bright smile.
…
Country C.
Meng Jingwei arrived in Country C with Chu Xue, a promise she had made to Chu Xue before her marriage.
However, Qi He and Daisy Ti Ni were also accompanying them.
“Darling, I’m so sorry. You’re already pregnant, and I’m still dragging you to find Han Junyan.”
Chu Xue affectionately held Meng Jingwei’s hand and rubbed her cheek against her shoulder, “You really love me too much.”
“Ugh, let go.”
Meng Jingwei shivered with a look of disgust, feeling goosebumps all over her body.
“No way! I am your bodyguard, how can I let go of you?” Chu Xue’s lips curved into a smile, and she led Meng Jingwei to the car.
As the group arrived in Country C, due to the time difference, it was the early morning in Country C. They were escorted by car directly to the hotel to rest.
But Meng Jingwei woke up early and drove to Shu Yao’s residence, following the correct address she had obtained for Shu Yao’s family.
Standing at the entrance of the Edison Manor, looking at the grand and magnificent estate, Meng Jingwei couldn’t help but sigh inwardly…
No wonder Anthony was so eager to win over Shu Yao’s parents.
