"Ah Huai, don't speak,"
Shu Yao chided, pulling Qing Si Huai to sit down. Then she walked around the low table and sat beside Meng Jing Wei.
"Wei Wei..."
She reached out, intending to take Meng Jing Wei's hand.
But as soon as she touched Meng Jing Wei, her hand was roughly shaken off. "Don't touch me!"
After touching that scoundrel Qing Si Huai, she really didn't want to be touched.
Shu Yao's smile froze on her face. Although she felt Meng Jing Wei was overreacting, she then thought that given Meng Jing Wei's misunderstanding of Qing Si Huai, her anger was understandable.
"Actually... Wei Wei, the reason why Ah Huai treated me like that before was all for a reason."
"A reason?"
"Mm," Shu Yao nodded vigorously, looking at Meng Jing Wei with wronged and pitiful eyes.
Meng Jing Wei raised a willow leaf eyebrow, "What reason? Could it be that he's dying of a terminal illness?"
Of course, this wasn't her guess, but something Qing Mu Ye had told her himself yesterday.
"Uh..."
The explanation that was about to be spoken was preempted by Meng Jing Wei, which made Shu Yao a little embarrassed.
She pursed her lips, lowered her head, and sighed, "Yes, it's a terminal illness, liver cancer... late stage."
"Heh."
Meng Jing Wei scoffed, "Late stage?" She pointed at Qing Si Huai opposite her, "Rosy-cheeked, full of vigor, and you tell me he has late-stage liver cancer?"
She met Shu Yao's mournful gaze with cold eyes, "Shu Yao, I think you're more like late-stage stupidity, so stupid that it's incurable."
It was truly a case of wishing she could turn iron into steel.
However, this single sentence provoked Shu Yao. Her face turned cold, and she abruptly stood up.
Angrily, she said, "Meng Jing Wei, I respect you as my best friend, so I'm patiently explaining to you. What's your attitude? I said Qing Si Huai has late-stage cancer, would I lie to you about that?"
As she spoke, she turned and walked to the side, took out a few papers from a drawer, and walked back to Meng Jing Wei, throwing the documents at her. "Look at these yourself, these are all cancer examination reports. True evidence, how could I be joking! Also, what you said is too harsh, you should apologize to Ah Huai!"
With late-stage cancer, Qing Si Huai was already in low spirits. Shu Yao felt that Meng Jing Wei's words would hurt Qing Si Huai's self-esteem.
At this moment, Qing Si Huai, sitting on the sofa opposite, crossed his legs, his head slightly lowered, looking sad and dejected. But in his eyes, there was a ripple of triumph and mockery.
However, Shu Yao couldn't see the emotions in his eyes at all.
"Yao Yao, there's no need to explain. Little Wei Wei can't possibly believe it."
Qing Si Huai gave a self-deprecating smile, "She misunderstands me too deeply, and doesn't believe me, which is understandable. Moreover, she's doing it for your own good, you shouldn't speak to her like that."
Meng Jing Wei had seen plenty of female white lotuses, but this was the first time she had encountered a male white lotus.
She really wanted to step forward and punch Qing Si Huai to death.
"Ah Huai, I know Wei Wei is doing it for my own good, but I just can't stand her misunderstanding you." Shu Yao was full of concern for Qing Si Huai.
Meng Jing Wei listened and almost had a stroke from anger.
"Fine. I'll temporarily believe that Qing Si Huai has late-stage cancer. But if, I say if, he's lying to you, have you ever considered how serious the consequences would be?"
In Country C, Qing Mu Ye had told her everything about Qing Si Huai and Shu Yao in meticulous detail, but the existing evidence only proved that Qing Si Huai's cancer was fake. As for Shu Yao being violated, it was merely Qing Mu Ye's guess, with no concrete proof.
After much thought, Meng Jing Wei had decided not to tell Shu Yao about that unpleasant incident.
Hiding it might be a form of protection for her.
Meng Jing Wei's words made Shu Yao fall into contemplation. She lowered her head and thought for a long time before finally looking up at her, her eyes firm, "I believe he wouldn't lie to me."
Meng Jing Wei: "..."
Her brain was really kicked by a donkey.
"Alright, since you say so, I have nothing else to say."
Meng Jing Wei decided not to bicker with Shu Yao about this matter and tossed her the car keys. "My car is parked outside. I prepared a gift for you, I forgot to get it just now, go get it."
The gift prepared for Shu Yao was because she had been to Country C. When she went to Country C, she had told Shu Yao, and Shu Yao had asked her to bring back a gift.
As it turned out, she was in a hurry when she returned and forgot to buy one, so she had to choose a gift for her at the mall.
"Oh, okay."
Shu Yao took the keys thrown by Meng Jing Wei. Her heart warmed, and she felt that her words earlier were excessive. "Earlier... I'm sorry. I spoke too harshly. I... I was just momentarily out of sorts."
"That's enough. You're not dating me, so it's none of my business." Meng Jing Wei plopped down on the sofa, crossed her arms, and turned her face away, unwilling to look at Shu Yao anymore.
Shu Yao pouted, "Ah Huai, pour Wei Wei a glass of water. I'm going to get the gift."
"Go ahead," Qing Si Huai nodded.
Shu Yao took the car keys and left the hall. Seeing her leave, Meng Jing Wei withdrew her gaze, stood up, and walked directly to Qing Si Huai. She grabbed his collar and punched him, "Scum!"
Qing Si Huai, with quick eyes and hands, caught her punch with his bare hand. But he didn't realize that Meng Jing Wei's punch was a feint. As he caught her fist, Meng Jing Wei's left hand directly struck his abdomen.
He reacted nimbly and blocked Meng Jing Wei's left fist, but he didn't guard against Meng Jing Wei lifting her knee and kicking him in the crotch.
With that move, Meng Jing Wei had put all her strength into it, and every attack was incredibly fast, completely unexpected by Qing Si Huai.
Qing Si Huai only knew that Meng Jing Wei had some skills, but he never expected her strength to be astonishing.
"Ugh...!"
A sharp pain erupted from below. Qing Si Huai felt as if all his internal organs were cramping from pain.
He hunched over, clamped his legs together, and covered the injured area with his hands. His face turned red with pain, and veins bulged on his forehead. "Meng, Jing, Wei!"
"Damn it, why are you calling me Grandma?"
Meng Jing Wei took a step back and kicked him in the chest. Qing Si Huai leaned back, flipped off the sofa, and fell heavily to the ground with a dull thud.
Lying on the ground, Qing Si Huai couldn't tend to the pain in his body. He only felt that his lower body was almost ruined, and he was weak from the pain.
This woman is seeking death!
Meng Jing Wei walked over, stood in front of Qing Si Huai, and kicked him several more times with all her might.
After a few kicks, the force was no less than the few kicks Xiao Cheng had delivered to her in the basement of Antina Castle that day.
"Let me tell you, just because Shu Yao is stupid doesn't mean I am. Listen carefully, if you dare to lay a hand on Shu Yao again, I'll make sure you can't be a man for the rest of your life!"
Qing Si Huai was in too much pain to stand up, so he could only endure Meng Jing Wei's kicks.
He gritted his teeth and could only glare at Meng Jing Wei.
As he glared, he began to smile sinisterly, "Heh heh heh, is that so? I can't do anything to you, but... but I'll make Shu Yao suffer for a lifetime."
That smile was quite eerie, sending a chill down Meng Jing Wei's spine.
Suddenly, she had a bad premonition that Qing Si Huai would definitely retaliate against Shu Yao.
Meng Jing Wei clenched her fists and kicked him in the crotch again, "Then I'll make you suffer for a lifetime first!"
