"No need to be so polite between brothers."
Qing Muye played dumb, smiling, then said seriously, "A'wei and I's situation cannot be known by Yun Shasha."
"Nonsense, do you think I don't know that?"
"Mm, thank you for your trouble." Qing Muye callously hung up the phone.
As soon as he put down his phone, the person in his arms stirred awake and asked lazily, leaning against him, "What's wrong?"
Qing Muye recounted what Lu Yanming had said to Meng Jingwei. Meng Jingwei furrowed her brows, showing a hint of unease. "Shen Liannuo has only just arrived in Lancheng and isn't accustomed to many things. Especially since she was the young mistress of the Hidden Clan, always doted upon and held in high regard. How could she possibly endure such treatment?"
"It's just that we're not busy right now, let's go to Qinxin Residence to see her," he suggested.
Meng Jingwei agreed readily, "Okay, that's exactly what I was thinking."
The two got up and went to the bathroom. After a quick wash and getting dressed, they left the office and took the elevator to the second basement level.
Due to their divorce, they had been constantly followed by paparazzi and hounded by numerous media outlets seeking interviews.
Consequently, Meng Jingwei was extremely cautious when going out, fearing discovery.
They drove away from the second basement level and headed straight for Qinxin Residence.
Qinxin Residence.
Upon arriving at Qinxin Residence, their car parked outside the villa.
Pressing the doorbell at the villa entrance, a servant came out. Upon seeing Qing Muye and Meng Jingwei, she immediately invited them in.
"Sir, Madam, you've arrived! Please come in quickly," the servant said warmly.
The servant had been transferred from Yujing Villa and was naturally familiar with them.
"Is Liannuo at home?" Meng Jingwei asked.
"Yes, yes, Miss Liannuo is in the living room," the servant gestured invitingly. "I'll take you in."
"No need. Auntie Zhang, you can go about your business."
Meng Jingwei politely declined. Hand in hand with Qing Muye, carrying a few items, they walked towards the hall.
However, as they reached the hall, they heard a crashing sound from within.
"Song Jun, what do you take me, Shen Liannuo, for? Get out, get out now. From today onwards, I don't need your care!"
Shen Liannuo's voice was filled with fury.
The couple standing at the hall entrance exchanged glances, completely unaware of what had happened between Song Jun and Shen Liannuo this time.
"Shen Liannuo, I'm speaking reason to you. This isn't the Hidden... it's not your home. You are no longer the high and mighty, imperious young mistress. You need to be constantly aware of your identity!"
Song Jun's words were sharp.
"You don't need to concern yourself with my affairs." Shen Liannuo, enraged, picked up items and threw them directly at Song Jun. "Take these cosmetics you bought and get lost. I don't want them."
Following this were more crashing sounds.
It seemed to be the sound of glass bottles shattering on the floor, exceptionally clear.
Song Jun, having a temper, did not intend to appease Shen Liannuo. "Fine, remember what you said."
He dropped a sentence and turned to walk out of the hall.
As he reached the hall entrance, he saw Meng Jingwei and Qing Muye standing there.
His steps faltered. "Boss, Young Madam, why are you here?"
"Is this how you accompany Shen Liannuo when I assigned you this task?" Qing Muye's handsome face grew cold, his tone conveying displeasure.
Song Jun, angered, turned his head aside. "I cannot complete this task."
"Since you can't complete it, then go to Wuming Island. I'll give you a three-year leave," Qing Muye stated calmly and composedly.
While it was said to be a three-year leave, Song Jun knew best that being confined to Wuming Island for three years would be more unbearable than death.
