"Lao Ma, this leave is not right. Give me the phone, I'll talk to her." Wang Hanbeier snatched the phone and said coldly, "You are Lan Yuxi, right? I am Wang Hanbeier. Nan Xiao is not coming back tonight."
Ma Ke snatched the phone back with displeasure. "Beier, how can you talk like that! If you say that, Xiao Weibao will overthink things!"
"What is there for her to overthink? With so many of us here, are we going to eat the boss? If she doesn't have that much magnanimity, then she's even less worthy of being the boss's wife!"
Ma Ke turned off the speaker and pointed at her irritably. Then, with a fawning smile, he said, "Xiao Weibao, don't be angry. Beier is just joking with you."
Lan Yuxi snorted, "Whether she was joking or not, I'm angry! Where are you? I'll be there right now. I'll let her see with her own eyes where I'm not worthy of Nan Xiao!"
Ma Ke chuckled dryly. "Uh... we're at the Haige Hotel, Presidential Suite 919."
"See you in twenty minutes!" Lan Yuxi raised an eyebrow and hung up.
The string of schemes had begun. Lure her here, catch her red-handed, and then kill her while she was enraged and lost her mind.
There were surveillance cameras in the room. Wang Hanbeier would definitely know where they were. With her skills, she was perfectly capable of staging this murder as an accidental suicide.
Lan Yuxi was still thinking when she saw Ying quietly walk to the door. The moment the door was pushed open, the gun in his hand was pressed against the head of the person entering.
Nan Yi recognized the person and raised his hand to stop him. "Ying, it's the family head!"
Ying glanced at Nan Xiao, quickly lowered his hand, and retreated to the side.
Nan Xiao stared at Lan Yuxi, who was sitting on the toilet, and shut the door behind him. "I knew it was you when I heard your voice. What are you doing here? Go back quickly!"
Lan Yuxi tilted her head and smiled. "To catch you cheating!"
"Nonsense! If there's no affair, what are you catching!" Nan Xiao looked at Nan Yi. "Take the matriarch back."
Nan Yi's head shook like a rattle drum. "I can't take her back."
Nan Xiao frowned slightly. "Xi Bao, stop fooling around, okay? I'll come back as soon as I'm done with things here."
Lan Yuxi hooked her lips slightly. "I don't believe Xiang Bei hasn't figured out Wang Hanbeier's true intentions. If I don't show up, she can't play this game. What the hell are you going to handle!"
"It's precisely because we know that you must leave."
Lan Yuxi's ears twitched. "Go out quickly, someone is coming in."
Nan Xiao quickly opened the door and walked out.
Wang Hanbeier saw Nan Xiao come out of the bathroom and was slightly taken aback. "Boss, why did you get up yourself?"
Nan Xiao walked towards the door with unsteady steps. "It's nothing, I just went to the restroom."
"Boss, where are you going?" Wang Hanbeier put down her cup and chased after him, reaching out to help him.
Nan Xiao frowned and dodged her hand. "I'm going to check on the others."
"They said they were tired and have all gone to sleep."
A hint of coldness flashed in Nan Xiao's eyes, but it disappeared quickly. "Then you should go to rest early too."
"I can't sleep yet. Your wife said she'd come to pick you up later. Boss, I'm not someone who gossips behind people's backs, but I have to tell you the truth today! Lan Yuxi is not worthy of being your wife at all. Why did you marry her?"
Nan Xiao gave her a cold glance. "She's not worthy, are you?"
Wang Hanbeier quickly lowered her head. "I know I'm not worthy either, but compared to her, I'm more outstanding and can bring you more benefits."
"When you said that, did you consider Xiang Dong's feelings?"
"Why should I consider his feelings? When has he ever considered mine? Back then, I asked him to leave with me. Once things were better, it would be easier to propose to my father. But he just said, 'Wherever you go, I go,' without even thinking about it. I'm a woman, but I'm not as important to him as you are to him. Over the years, I've come to realize that he doesn't have me in his heart, so I don't need to care about him anymore. Boss, you are actually the one I've always admired. Back then, I knew I wasn't worthy, so I settled for Nan Xiang Dong. But since you could marry someone like Lan Yuxi, I had hope again..."
As Wang Hanbeier spoke, she pounced forward. Nan Xiao frowned at the special fragrance on her.
But just as he was about to dodge her, he suddenly found that he didn't even have the strength to lift his legs.
"You!" Nan Xiao narrowed his eyes. "You drugged me!"
Wang Hanbeier hugged his waist tightly. "I didn't want to do this, but you never look at me. I had no choice. Boss, I really like you. Just take me!"
Lan Yuxi leaned against the doorframe with her arms crossed, a wicked smile on her lips. "Ying, have you ever seen such a shameless person in your life?"
A bloodthirsty killing intent flashed in Ying's eyes. "Never. Too shameless!"
Wang Hanbeier heard the voices and looked over abruptly. "How did you get in?!"
Nan Xiao struggled to turn his head and complained pitifully, "Wife, she set me up."
Lan Yuxi raised her chin slightly. "Are you still going to send me away?"
"No." Nan Xiao replied with a dejected look.
Wang Hanbeier looked incredulous and tilted her head to look at Nan Xiao. "Boss, how can you talk to a woman like this? Are you still the great hero in my heart?"
Nan Xiao looked at her with disgust. "Let go! My wife can do anything when she's angry."
"I won't... Ah—"
Just as Wang Hanbeier was trying to get closer to Nan Xiao, Lan Yuxi grabbed her hair and threw her away.
With a loud bang, Wang Hanbeier hit the wall and bounced back.
The tear mole at the corner of Lan Yuxi's eye twitched slightly, and then she appeared in front of Wang Hanbeier and kicked her away again.
The moment Wang Hanbeier flew out, Ying darted forward like lightning. With a sweep of his large hand, two guns were in his grip. Then, he delivered a heavy punch, pinning her against the wall.
Lan Yuxi sneered contemptuously and took a pill from her pocket, throwing it into Nan Xiao's mouth.
"Nan Yi, go wake up those few people." Lan Yuxi said, and then threw a bottle of medicine to Nan Yi.
Nan Yi took the medicine. Seeing that Nan Xiao could move again, he breathed a sigh of relief and ran out.
Nan Xiao reached out and hugged Lan Yuxi. "Wife, I took the antidote, how could I still have been poisoned?"
Lan Yuxi gave him an exasperated look. "The antidote your second brother gave you only works on ingested substances, not on taste. If anything like this happens again, you come to me directly!"
Nan Xiao nodded vigorously. "Yes, I will never make such a low-level mistake again."
Wang Hanbeier spat out a mouthful of blood and struggled to get up from the ground. "Heh— I was truly blind to think that the men I fancied were all real men! Since you are all like this, then go to hell together!"
