Kapitel 74: Chapter 74
"So, what are you going to do about it?"
Weimin asks, putting Meixiu's phone down on the table as he looks at the woman in front, who seems to be out of her mind.
Meixiu sighs and shakes her head, scratching her hair in the process as she feels conflicted and confused.
"I don't know; I just want Xiaohui to be safe."
"Well, do you have any idea who the killer might be?"
Weimin asks, his hand hitting the table as he waits for Meixiu's answer. The woman stands up from the chair, looking around the mansion as she shakes her head.
"I don't have any clue; the killer hides very well."
"There are no suspicious people around the area."
"Negative."
Weimin nodded. His eyes looked around the garden as he hummed while thinking. Meixiu sat back down in the chair, looking at Weimin as the guy focused his attention back on her.
"Can you look after Xiaohui? Be her bodyguard without her noticing."
"Meixiu, this might be a challenge from your father; you can't trust anyone."
"Weimin, I know you very well and can tell if you're hiding something or not."
Weimin leans on his chair, his eyes looking deeply at Meixiu, before he sighs and nods his head.
"Fine."
"Be careful looking at her, ok? She can tell if someone's following her."
"I know."
Their talk was interrupted when Meixiu's phone vibrated on the table. The woman grabbed it and saw that Xiaohui had texted her.
"Right, I was supposed to bring her here."
"What?"
Meixiu feels like today's not the day to bring Xiaohui into the house and tell her everything.
She needed to finish the killer first before she told her wife about the dirty business that she was handling.
If Xiaohui were to know everything, that also means that Meixiu needs to drop every single detail.
Including her father's plan to kill her wife.
She didn't want to scare Xiaohui away from her, so all she could do was make excuses for Xiaohui to drop the topic.
"She's looking for me now."
"The head maid probably prepared the ingredients you needed; you can grab them at the kitchen."
The sun slowly rises, illuminating the whole mansion as Meixiu looks at the beautiful estate they are currently on.
She couldn't help but feel the familiar feeling of happiness, as she sometimes did when she was still a child.
Weimin stands up from his chair, snapping Meixiu away from her round of thoughts.
"Let's go."
-
"Why are you late!? Did you do something at the market!?"
Meixiu sighs as she parks her scooter at the side; her eyes glance at Xiaowen, who's looking at her in disgust.
Xiaowen went towards Meixiu's place, snatching the plastic bag from the basket.
Her eyes scanned the ingredients, furrowing her eyebrows before glaring at Meixiu and grabbing the scallions in the bag.
"What are you planning to cook with these!?"
"Xiaohui wanted to taste Auntie Xia's cooking."
Xiaowen scoffs and puts the ingredients down in the basket, her arms crossing on her chest.
"Xiaohui already went to the company! You're so slow!"
Xiaowen sneered at Meixiu before she left, whispering under her breath that Meixiu couldn't comprehend what she was saying.
Meixiu shakes her head and grabs the plastic bag, walking towards the house.
Her phone vibrated in her pocket as she successfully opened the door of the house.
"Meixiu, Xiaohui didn't eat breakfast."
Meixiu looked at the voice and saw Grandma Peng sitting on the couch. Meixiu nodded her head, putting the plastic bag in the kitchen.
She grabbed her phone from her pocket, smirking as Xiaohui's name greeted her.
"Meixiu, Lijuan wanted to eat lunch later outside; she has great news to share with us!"
Meixiu nodded her head, typing out a reply before putting it back in her pocket and walking out of the kitchen to talk to Grandma Peng.
"Grandma."
"Sit down."
Grandma Peng invited her, patting the space beside her. Meixiu sat down beside the old lady, getting comfortable in the space.
"Xiaohui's looking for you; she was hoping to see you before she went to the company."
Meixiu looks down on her hands, sighing loudly, causing the old lady to look at her in confusion.
"I told her I'd tell her everything."
"Did you?"
"I still don't think today's the right time to tell her Grandma."
Meixiu looks at the old lady. Grandma Peng grabs Meixiu's hand, rubbing it in a smooth manner.
"I don't think she'll be afraid of you."
"Grandma, someone wants to kill Xiaohui."
-
Xiaohui finally arrived at the restaurant Lijuan had reserved, and her eyes looked around to find a familiar scooter pulling almost beside her car.
Her eyes looked at the owner, and she quickly went out of the car, getting greeted by Meixiu, who fixed her hair in the scooter's mirror.
"Meixiu."
She called, approaching the taller woman as she looked at her, a wide smile spreading on her lips.
"Baby."
Meixiu greeted her, putting the helmet she wore on the basket and locking it.
Her eyes drifted back towards the beautiful lady standing in front of her, her eyes scanning the woman, causing Xiaohui to blush in embarrassment.
"Come on, let's go inside."
Xiaohui invited Meixiu, who nodded and followed her behind. Lunch came around quickly, and Meixiu left the house with Grandma Peng's agreement.
Xiaowen didn't want Meixiu to leave, as she wanted the woman to clean the house.
But with Grandma Peng arguing with her, she couldn't help but walk towards her room, probably going to confront Xiaohui when the woman went home.
Xiaohui texted her the address, and the woman even offered to fetch her at the house.
But knowing Xiaowen, they would be late for the appointment, and Lijuan might wait, so she decided to go there herself.
"Xiaohui! Meixiu!"
Lijuan waved at the two. They both walk towards the table where the woman is sitting.
"Lijuan, it's been awhile."
Xiaohui greeted Lijuan with a smile as the woman smiled back at her.
"Meixiu."
Lijuan bows down at the taller woman as Meixiu nods and pulls a chair for Xiaohui to sit down.
Xiaohui looks at Meixiu and smiles as the taller woman pushes the chair, creating enough space for Xiaohui to move around.
"What good news are you going to share?"
Meixiu pulled her own chair and was about to sit down, but she stopped as soon as Lijuan told her the news.
"I got accepted as a marketer at Sapphire Group!"
Lijuan couldn't contain her happiness as she squealed in excitement. Meixiu looks at her before slowly sitting down in the chair.
"Really? That's great news!"
"Yeah, I'll do my best to be the best one!"
Lijuan looks at Meixiu and then at Xiaohui, her eyes sparkling in joy as she can finally meet the mysterious owner.
She received a text back at home: The master of Cui has had another attack and is about to give up.
Although he is still fighting his sickness, anytime soon he'll be saying his farewell to the world.
And all of his children, as well as his grandchildren, fight for who will handle the company.
And it's for the sake of the oldest child, her uncle, who only knows how to party.
Her parents ask her to do something, and it is to seduce the mysterious owner of Sapphire Group.
The only way they can gain trust is to have someone who knows the most successful and wealthy family in the whole country.
And their only hope is for Lijuan to seduce the mysterious owner, who is rumored to be part of the Ren Family.
