“Nonsense? But reality is exactly as you think. It was Qing Mu Ye who rushed into the sea of fire to save me, and then transferred me to Sheng De Hospital.”
Sheng De Hospital was a Qing family property, and her appearance there was the best proof.
Meng Jing Wei’s provocative words made Li Yun Er clench her fists, her nails digging deep into her palms, almost drawing blood, but she felt nothing.
On the verge of rage and collapse, she wished she could rush forward and strangle Meng Jing Wei to death.
But years of ‘experience’ had taught her to endure in front of others.
So, no matter how angry Li Yun Er was, she would adjust her emotions within a few seconds and say calmly, “So what? It’s just because Madam Qing favors you that Brother Mu Ye saved you.”
Her anger made her tremble.
However, being in the room next to Madam Qing’s, she couldn’t lose her temper or have a hysterical outburst.
“Mm, you’re beautiful, so whatever you say is right.”
Meng Jing Wei didn’t argue back, as her purpose of provoking her had been achieved.
Then she added, “Why did you come to see me so early? Your parents sent people to set the fire, and now they are attempting murder. Are they planning to harm me again?”
“Don’t get cocky too soon.”
Li Yun Er couldn’t stand Meng Jing Wei’s provocation. She walked up to her and said in a low voice, “Have you forgotten about your parents back in your hometown?”
Mentioning her adoptive parents, Meng Jing Wei’s expression changed drastically. She sat up from the hospital bed with a whoosh, “You… you… Li Yun Er, don’t go too far!”
“Hmph, your adoptive parents are in my hands now. If you don’t want them to die, you’d better leave Lan Cheng and disappear from Qing Mu Ye’s sight forever. Otherwise, don’t blame me for not cherishing our sisterhood.”
She said ‘sisterhood’.
What a ‘sisterhood’!
This was probably the most sarcastic thing Meng Jing Wei had ever heard in her life.
“Sisterhood?”
She really didn’t know how Li Yun Er could utter those four words.
Meng Jing Wei’s bright eyes rippled with a coldness. Her sharp gaze fixed on Li Yun Er without blinking, “Is your so-called ‘sisterhood’ just a series of schemes and calculations?”
“I don’t want to waste my breath with you. Now you have two choices: either you stay, and your adoptive parents die; or you get out of Lan Cheng and never come back.”
Because Madam Qing was next door, Li Yun Er didn’t want to argue with Meng Jing Wei.
Moreover, with her adoptive parents as leverage, Li Yun Er was naturally emboldened and didn’t worry about Meng Jing Wei reporting her to Madam Qing.
“Alright, I’ll go, but please release my parents.”
“As long as you leave, I will definitely let them go.”
“It’s a deal.”
Meng Jing Wei readily agreed, “But Qing Mu Ye won’t let me leave now. Look, there’s a bodyguard guarding the door. Go and get rid of him.”
Li Yun Er’s red lips curved upwards, and an unconcealable smugness and arrogance showed on her beautiful face that could make an emperor fall. “It seems you know what’s good for you.”
After speaking, Li Yun Er added, “When you return to Lan Cheng, my parents will give you some money to send you away, as far as possible. Meng Jing Wei, don’t blame me. If you have to blame someone, it can only be your bad luck.”
In Lan Cheng, only one of them could remain.
“Okay!”
Meng Jing Wei slightly raised her forehead, signaling Li Yun Er to quickly get rid of the bodyguard at the door.
Her excessive compliance made Li Yun Er feel uneasy.
Her scrutinizing gaze fell on Meng Jing Wei. Li Yun Er stared at her for a few seconds, as if trying to find a flaw, but couldn’t.
Li Yun Er assumed Meng Jing Wei was reluctantly complying out of worry for her adoptive parents.
Meng Jing Wei watched as Li Yun Er turned and walked out of the ward and into the small living room. After saying something to the bodyguard at the door, she saw the bodyguard leave.
At that moment, a curve appeared at the corner of the young woman’s lips, revealing a confident smile.
She pushed open the door and walked out.
Reaching the ward door, Meng Jing Wei glanced at Li Yun Er, who was standing at the entrance. Without saying a word, she bypassed her and left.
Li Yun Er stood rooted to the spot, watching the injured Meng Jing Wei limp step by step towards the elevator. A strong sense of unease arose in her heart.
Earlier, her gaze had been calm and serene, like still water without a ripple.
Upon closer inspection of Meng Jing Wei’s eyes, it felt as if she was looking at a dying person with a chilling coldness.
Li Yun Er felt that something was wrong, but she couldn’t pinpoint what it was.
But no matter what schemes or calculations she had, they didn’t mean much to Li Yun Er.
She glanced back at Madam Qing’s ward, then walked towards the stairwell with her phone and dialed her father, Li Fu An. “Dad, Meng Jing Wei has been discharged. Your plan can be put into action.”
After hanging up, Li Yun Er rubbed the screen of her phone with her thumb. Looking out the stairwell window, the depths of Li Yun Er’s pupils were filled with an unconcealable chilling intent.
She hadn’t wanted Meng Jing Wei to die in the fire yesterday; she had wanted her to be disfigured, to become an incredibly ugly person.
In that case, even if the whole world knew Meng Jing Wei’s identity, what would it matter?
But not only was she not disfigured, she hadn’t died!
Meanwhile, as soon as Meng Jing Wei left the hospital, she noticed that the reporters who should have been waiting at the hospital entrance had disappeared. Instead, there were several suspicious-looking men nearby, staring at her with strange eyes.
Meng Jing Wei’s heart skipped a beat, and she couldn’t help but swallow.
Just as she was about to turn back, she realized that a few people in the hospital’s inpatient hall were also watching her.
Caught between enemies!
At that moment, she realized she had underestimated her opponent.
Meng Jing Wei maintained a pretense of composure, but her hand inadvertently rested on her watch, and she pressed a button. “Xiao Zhu Zi, I don’t know if you can hear me now, but listen. Immediately contact the Weibo blogger I gave you and release all the recordings and videos I gave you yesterday!”
Meng Jing Wei knew that this action was risky, but filial piety was paramount.
Her adoptive parents had given her life, and she had to seek justice for them to repay their nurturing kindness.
Moreover, she had a life insurance policy. If she were to die today, her adoptive parents would receive a large compensation sum, enough for them to live out the rest of their lives in happiness and security.
As for her adoptive parents, she wasn’t worried.
Because she had already asked Xiao Cheng for a few skilled individuals to keep a twenty-four-hour watch on her adoptive parents. Their kidnapping was merely a ruse to mislead the Li family.
At this moment, a man walked past her. Meng Jing Wei grabbed him, “Brother, excuse me, can I borrow your phone? I forgot mine and need to make a call.”
“Yes, no problem.”
The man handed his phone to Meng Jing Wei. Meng Jing Wei wanted to call Qing Mu Ye, but she couldn’t remember his number.
Besides her adoptive parents, the only number she remembered was Xiao Cheng’s.
