She walked up to Li Yun'er, suddenly raised her hand, grabbed her by the neck, and pinned her against the wall, her expression cold, "Also, if you dare to lay a finger on my parents again, I'll drag you down with me even if I die!"
During these days, Meng Jingwei had not fallen out with Zhao Ruolan and Li Fu'an in front of the Qing family due to various unavoidable reasons, but that did not mean she could coexist peacefully with her enemies.
"Mmm... cough cough..."
Meng Jingwei's sudden reaction frightened Li Yun'er. She felt her neck hurt and even had difficulty breathing. "You, you let go... let me go..."
She struggled and resisted with all her might, but found her strength was no match for Meng Jingwei's.
Li Yun'er was instantly filled with fear, belatedly realizing she had underestimated Meng Jingwei's capabilities.
"Let go? Of course, I'll let you go. But the words..."
She gently patted Li Yun'er's cheek with her other hand, warning, "Make sure you deliver them! Oh, right, I am Grandma Qing's adopted granddaughter now. If you dare to do anything out of line, I promise you'll never marry into the Qing family."
With that, Meng Jingwei suddenly withdrew her hand.
Li Yun'er immediately felt air rush in. She gasped for breath, clutching her neck, both angry and wronged. Despite all her struggles, she was still no match for Meng Jingwei.
Leaning weakly against the wall, she glared at Meng Jingwei with red-rimmed eyes, "Don't get too smug. I won't make things easy for you."
"Then we'll just have to wait and see!"
Meng Jingwei snorted coldly and turned to leave.
The smile on her face instantly vanished, replaced by an incomparably cold and biting aura.
She was indeed no match for the Li family, but Meng Jingwei was certainly not one to admit defeat!
If one attempt failed, there would be another.
As long as she was alive, she would never let the Li family have an easy time.
Returning to the dining table, Meng Jingwei saw that Qing Muye was silent. She sat down and chatted with Xiao Cheng, completely ignoring Qing Muye.
She failed to notice the man's increasingly grim expression.
At this moment, Li Yun'er walked back and sat opposite Qing Muye as if nothing had happened, saying nothing.
After the meal, the bill was settled, and Qing Muye paid.
Meng Jingwei and Xiao Cheng said goodbye to them and left directly.
Outside the restaurant, Xiao Cheng drove his car over and stopped in front of Meng Jingwei. He then got out of the driver's seat and opened the car door for Meng Jingwei.
Meng Jingwei couldn't help but laugh, "Oh wow, Xiao Cheng, you're being too much of a gentleman."
She got into the car teasingly. Xiao Cheng closed the door, looked back at Qing Muye, raised his eyebrows as if showing off, and then got into the car and drove away.
Li Yun'er noticed Qing Muye watching the sedan drive away. She was consumed by jealousy but dared not speak, "Brother Muye, let's go too."
Later that afternoon, Meng Jingwei went to the company with Xiao Cheng. After familiarizing herself with the company's procedures, it was already six in the evening.
After having dinner together, they left the restaurant. Xiao Cheng said he would send Meng Jingwei home.
Meng Jingwei, however, hailed a taxi directly and waved goodbye to Xiao Cheng, "I'm heading back now. See you at the company tomorrow. You've been working very hard lately, so go back and rest early."
"Okay, bye."
Xiao Cheng waved goodbye to her.
Meng Jingwei closed the taxi door, and the car slowly started and drove away.
Half an hour later, the sedan stopped at the Nightclub. Meng Jingwei took the private elevator to the top floor and entered Qing Muye's apartment.
But when the apartment door was pushed open, it was pitch black inside, and nothing could be seen.
She raised her hand to turn on the light switch, but before her hand could touch the switch, she was pulled into an embrace, pressed against the wall, and a kiss was placed on her lips.
"Mmm... who are you?"
She cried out, but because the man was covering her mouth, all her words came out as muffled sounds.
The strong smell of alcohol and a familiar scent assailed her. Meng Jingwei immediately knew it was Qing Muye.
She pushed Qing Muye away and roared, "Qing Muye, are you crazy?!"
The man was pushed away, stumbled back a few steps, and with a bang, she was startled.
Meng Jingwei immediately turned on the light and saw Qing Muye collapsed on the floor.
She was stunned. What was going on?
Walking up to Qing Muye, she looked at his unmoving form and kicked him, "Hey, Qing Muye, wake up? Wake up!"
She called out, but there was still no response.
Meng Jingwei then squatted in front of him, gently patted his face, "Are you okay? Wake up."
However, not only did the man not wake up, but his breathing was even and steady.
Meng Jingwei pouted, "What kind of act is this? Drunk?"
She sighed helplessly, "Why did you drink so much?"
Meng Jingwei bent down to help Qing Muye up. Using all her strength, she managed to drape his arm over her shoulder and slowly helped him to the master bedroom and onto the bed.
But because Qing Muye was too heavy, as he fell onto the bed, she was also dragged down onto the bed. Meng Jingwei let out a long sigh of relief, "Phew, so heavy, I'm exhausted."
She lay on the bed and sighed with relief, then got up to take off his shoes and simply threw him onto the bed without bothering with him further.
As she left, she muttered, "Such a poor tolerance for alcohol, what kind of garbage alcohol are you drinking! Trash!"
She assumed the scoundrel must have been drunk and mistaken her for Li Yun'er.
After all, with Old Mrs. Qing's instructions, Qing Muye would not dare to touch her now.
Leaving the master bedroom, Meng Jingwei returned to the second bedroom to wash up, changed her clothes, and lay down to play with her phone. However, she still had no sleepiness and finally went to the study to play games.
After a few hours, Qing Muye, who was on the bed, 'woke up'. He went into the bathroom to wash up, changed into black silk pajamas, sat in the bedroom for a while, and then went to the study.
The moment the study door opened, she saw Meng Jingwei furiously clicking the mouse, shouting, "Are you mentally retarded? Giving away kills from a thousand miles away? Don't you know how to play? Hurry up and push the tower!"
Meng Jingwei was engrossed in her game. However, as the desk was directly facing the center of the study, she could see the entrance to the study with a slight glance.
It was then that she noticed Qing Muye walking in. She immediately took off her headphones, looked at Qing Muye, and asked, "Are you finally sober?"
As she asked, she continued to play her game.
Qing Muye looked up at the clock hanging in the study and said in a deep voice, "Why aren't you asleep yet?"
It was already two in the morning, and she was still playing games.
"Push the tower, push the tower, quick quick quick, click the tower. Yes, we won!"
After finishing a game, she glanced at the match results, then closed the game and stood up, "Since my game is finished, you're coming to the study now, are you... working?"
The man's eyes flickered, and he nodded, "Yes."
"Oh, alright."
Meng Jingwei logged out of her game account and made space for him, "You get busy. Hey, you were so drunk earlier, how did you sober up so quickly?"
Qing Muye's eyes flickered, and he raised his hand to pinch his temple, "My head hurts a bit."
