Listening to Xiao Meiyan’s words, Meng Jingwei’s eyes lit up, and her mood immediately lifted. “How could that be? I, Meng Jingwei, keep my word.”
This money was truly easy to earn.
She hadn't expected that Qing Muye would be such a cash cow; she would have to cherish him from now on!
Thirty minutes later, they arrived at Songyu Group.
Meng Jingwei was about to call Qing Muye, but she worried she might disturb him if he was in a meeting, so she called Song Ci instead.
A moment later, Song Ci came down from upstairs.
“Miss Meng, Miss Xiao, why have you come?”
Upon hearing that Meng Jingwei was here, Song Ci immediately came down from upstairs.
After all, being perceptive and understanding people’s hearts, he knew the weight Meng Jingwei held in his boss's mind.
“Uh… I have something to find Qing Muye about.”
Meng Jingwei glanced meaningfully at Xiao Meiyan and then, with a serious expression, told Song Ci something untrue.
Song Ci nodded slightly, walked to the reception desk, pointed at Meng Jingwei, and said to the receptionist, “From now on, if she, Meng Jingwei, comes, do not obstruct her.”
The two young ladies at the reception glanced at Meng Jingwei with envious eyes and nodded, “Okay, we understand, Assistant Song.”
Song Ci led Meng Jingwei and Xiao Meiyan upstairs.
This was Meng Jingwei’s first time visiting Songyu Group. Looking at the high-end, stylish, and luxurious decoration design, as well as the business elites coming and going in the company lobby, she felt a touch of envy.
If it weren’t for the Li family’s affairs, she might have been like these career elites, striving and working hard.
Upon reaching the president’s office, Song Ci pointed to Qing Muye’s office, “Miss Meng, that is the boss’s office. You go ahead; I still have some matters to attend to.”
He didn’t want to be a third wheel, so he found an excuse and quickly left.
“Thank you, Assistant Song.”
Meng Jingwei said her thanks.
Then, she and Xiao Meiyan walked to the president’s office, knocked on the door, and pushed it open.
The moment the two entered, they saw that in the luxuriously decorated, cool-toned office, Qing Muye was sitting at the curved desk, leaning back in his executive chair. And in his arms sat… Li Yun’er!
Meng Jingwei’s steps faltered, and her gaze was fixed on the scene before her.
The man was dressed impeccably in a suit as always, his short hair gleaming, his features deep and sculpted, comparable to a perfect virtual model, cold and noble. The woman in his arms wore an off-the-shoulder dress, her long hair reaching her waist, her light makeup exquisite, her collarbones delicate, and she looked gentle and graceful.
The couple was a perfect match, a divine union, and they were intimately close.
Although it was perfectly normal for them to be like this, being fiancés, Meng Jingwei felt her breath catch for a moment, as if her heartbeat had skipped a beat.
“That bitch is here too.”
Seeing Li Yun’er, Xiao Meiyan couldn’t help but curl her lips, feeling both jealous and envious.
Although Meng Jingwei and Li Yun’er looked very similar, upon closer inspection, Meng Jingwei, even without makeup, was still more beautiful than Li Yun’er.
As they walked in, Xiao Meiyan looked again and, in comparison, found that Meng Jingwei’s eyes were larger and more spirited. Especially her eyebrows were more beautiful than Li Yun’er’s, her nose more prominent. Meng Jingwei had a small mole on her nose wing, which gave her an exquisitely cold temperament even without makeup.
A perfect crushing of Li Yun’er.
She suspected that the title of the most beautiful woman in Lancheng was about to change hands.
“You… why are you here?”
Seeing Meng Jingwei suddenly appear, Qing Muye’s brows furrowed slightly, and a flicker of light passed through his obsidian-like sharp eyes. He immediately pushed Li Yun’er away.
His movements were gentle, and although he was pushing Li Yun’er away, it gave a sense of overwhelming tenderness.
“Oh, Jingwei, you’re finally back.”
Li Yun’er’s lips curved slightly, and she immediately walked up to Meng Jingwei, saying with concern, “I know you went to Liangchuan this time, and I heard you encountered some trouble. You really worried me to death.”
“Tsk, so fake! I don’t see a trace of concern from you.”
Xiao Meiyan retorted without restraint, finding her hypocritical to the point of disgust.
“No, I just…”
“She’s just been feeling unwell lately.”
Li Yun’er was about to say something, but before she could finish, Qing Muye walked over, pulled Li Yun’er behind him, and said to Xiao Meiyan.
Having spent half a month inseparable from Meng Jingwei in Liangchuan County, Qing Muye, loving the person, naturally showed more patience towards Xiao Meiyan.
Upon hearing this, Li Yun’er’s expression stiffened. She cast a meaningful glance at Qing Muye and forced a smile, “Yes, I’ve been feeling unwell these past few days. Even though I was worried about Jingwei, my heart was willing but my strength was insufficient. However, after Jingwei went missing, the family also sent out many people to look for her.”
Although Li Yun’er knew that Meng Jingwei and Qing Muye were both in Liangchuan County, due to a certain special reason, she ultimately did not go to Liangchuan.
But no matter what, from a certain perspective, her objective had been achieved.
Meng Jingwei looked at Qing Muye with a somber gaze, remaining silent for a long time. They stared at each other, their eyes filled with complexity, seemingly conveying myriad emotions.
Her gaze fell into Qing Muye’s eyes, and the man’s ink-darkened brows furrowed slightly. “Why did you come?”
“I…”
The sudden question left Meng Jingwei’s mind blank, and she didn’t know how to answer Qing Muye.
Seeing her stammering, Xiao Meiyan immediately stepped forward and said, “I asked Meng Jingwei to come over to hang out with you.”
Loyally shielding her, she appeared like a good sister.
Li Yun’er’s hand, which hung by her side, tightened slightly. Her envious and jealous eyes fixed on Meng Jingwei, not understanding why this damned bitch hadn’t died in Liangchuan and had instead returned.
Not only that, but she had also managed to build a close relationship with Xiao Meiyan.
In Lancheng, who didn’t know that Xiao Meiyan was the most doted-upon in the Xiao family?
Was she laying the groundwork to counter the Li family?
Her schemes were deep!
“Since you came to see Brother Muye, sit for a while. Would you like coffee or tea?” Li Yun’er put on an air of the ‘mistress of the household,’ her lofty posture displeasing.
“I just thought of something I need to attend to. I’ll be leaving now.”
Meng Jingwei didn’t want to spend time with Li Yun’er, even less so to see her.
Where she was, Meng Jingwei was not!
As if sensing Meng Jingwei’s thoughts, Qing Muye immediately said to Li Yun’er, “You’re not feeling well; you should go back and rest early.”
“I’m not very tired.”
Li Yun’er shook her head, unwilling to leave.
Allowing Meng Jingwei and Qing Muye to have private time together? Absolutely not!
“Have you forgotten the doctor’s advice, hmm?”
The man asked again, but his tone turned a few degrees colder.
Li Yun’er’s expression changed slightly. She pursed her red lips, looked at Qing Muye, then at Meng Jingwei, before raising her hand to cover her abdomen and saying, “Alright, the doctor said the baby’s condition is unstable, so I should go back and rest.”
Unstable fetal condition?
Her mind went blank with a buzz. Meng Jingwei stared at Li Yun’er with astonished eyes, unable to speak for a long time.
She was pregnant with Qing Muye’s child?!
