Ceo And His Empress.. - Volume 2 Chapter 210 207.away From Her..2
ZiXuan stood there enjoying a moment of pure joy and love for a moment before saying to the man, ” I’m not going to be engaged to anyone”, with a light voice.
The look on the man’s eyes became even more hideous as he spoke through gritted teeth, “Don’t act too arrogant because you lived a few years there, Mu Xu–”
“My name is Qin ZiXuan. Mr Mu, get your facts checked first”, ZiXuan cut him off in the middle and without giving him a chance to speak, he continued, “I lived there for around 15 years and I’m not being arrogant, you see. I’m in a position where I can take over your, I mean Ms Li’s family property just by breathing… it seems, with age, you have become quite delusional?”
ZiXuan was actually the person in the hall, who was the least dressed and looked the weakest, with just a underwear on his lower torso and wounds all over his body, but just that matter-of-fact expression and innate air of elegance and nobility that he exuded still made the others spellbound for a moment.
Well, all except the man who was just ridiculed.
“It really seems that you have grown a few pair of wings. Do you think I won’t be able to crush you only because that woman or, her family is there?”, his voice full of contempt rang out in the hall.
ZiXuan continued to see everything, as if, enjoying a satire… he had a lazy look in his eyes as he answered, “Yes.”
That matter-of-fact type answer caught Mu Tianluo off-guard.
“It’s not that I just think that, I believe in it. I mean, if you could kill me, I won’t be alive till this point and if I hadn’t made my worth more than yours, you won’t have called me here in the first place… plus, do you really think, you can crush Qin Meilin”, his voice towards the end was as if, he heard the greatest joke of this century, but his eyes held an unfathomable light and were frigid, “Do you still think that I’m a person who wants your recognition..? Come on Mr Mu, I mean… considering my net worth and position, don’t you think, our positions have reversed? As beautiful as it gets, Qin Meilin’s net worth is more than mine, she doesn’t even need to breathe, she can crush you just by thinking… I think you must have already heard of the underworld gang you hired to kill me a while ago and also the current team you sent to do the same? That woman is not someone you can afford to go against…”
When it came to Meilin, he could really talk a lot even if the other side was Hades and this was just a Mu Tianluo…
Though he didn’t know about it, Meilin had once said that she was his first and biggest fan, but if he had to describe himself objectively, he would be his brain-dead fan… he was quite proud of it and liked to brag about her as well~
Mu Tianluo’s expression changed and his face changed colours at a visibly fast pace, it turned green to purple to blue and finally to red, his fist supporting his face fell and the grip tightened, the look in his eyes dangerous and evil… more so because, he knew what ZiXuan said was true and also that, he still thought that he could control him considering he was able to get him here….
But ZiXuan’s tone was a reminder that, his place had become quite high in the business circle and also that the woman called Qin Meilin was too dangerous for him to go against, if they fought, there will be too much of a loss and that the losing side might still be his own!
As if to confirm it, ZiXuan spoke, “… I went through whatever you wanted; now it’s my time to present my needs, isn’t it?”, it wasn’t a skeptical tone, but very light and straightforward, well, he knew which hand to play…
Mu Tianluo was still a veteran and finally calmed down… well, he needed something and it just wasn’t possible without the intervention of this ‘thing‘, he didn’t care about what ‘he‘ needed if he could get ‘him‘ to work for himself… just as he hadn’t cared when he married this thing’s mother to get her family’s assets, he didn’t mind using this thing as well…
He leaned back and crossed his hands over his chest, “….I’ll hear it… just know that I’m not fully a part of your white side yet… ‘You’ can’t kill me, but I can still ‘kill‘ you if you are not of any use…”, it wasn’t in him to simply comply to this thing’s wishes.
ZiXuan didn’t show any change in expression, he was aware of the chances of this man killing him was not actually zero, but one thing he got wrong was that he was on the ‘white’ side, he was a businessman now, but he had killed not just here, but also when he was in the army and even simply as a businessman, he was at best in the grey region of it… neither he nor Meilin were pure and innocent, this world had screwed too much with them to stay the same.
As it stood… if the question came to the safety of Meilin and himself, even he wasn’t afraid to kill this man… but if things can be done in a civil manner, why bother to do a massacre, right?
He believed in violence, but he believed more on rational choices…
He had been thinking about this all this while, you see… in times he wasn’t thinking about Meilin or, not about his work, he would definitely be thinking about the 101 methods to get his revenge.
Planning never worked because he wasn’t sure back then what this man’s weakness was right now; killing him would be too easy, both for the man and for him, ZiXuan didn’t think that he will be content with just that; then he thought about torturing him till he chose death as it was better than living, but this man would rather kill himself than be humiliated by a man he didn’t even treat as an object, he had been treating him like a abandoned object for a long time now and so, now that he finally got hold of his cherished need… to ZiXuan’s relief and a bit of disappointment, it was actually ‘money’…
Relief because he was the best at manipulating the economy and a bit of disappointment because this man had fallen too low… he wondered if anything happened to his ‘family’, of course, he was not talking about the gang, but the family that he had of his own…
As a child, he had heard that many called ZiXuan’s mother a ‘3’, back then he hadn’t understood it, but after being in the business world for years now, he would be living under a rock if he didn’t understand it; that woman was the third party who had probably destroyed this man’s happy family, right?
Well, as a rational man with a bit of common sense, he couldn’t see why the man himself was not discredited to be attracted to this third party, but it has been in the air to push the blame on the woman since forever plus, who would go against the Boss of the largest underworld in the whole eastern hemisphere right now, huh?
ZiXuan gave him a look, he had a thought just then… ‘I probably resemble my maternal grandparents… thanks genes…’ He would be really devastated if he resembled any of his direct s.e.x cell donors… just thinking about it gave him a stomach ache!
Anyway, he looked straight into the man’s eyes and said, “….Ivanov family is impossible for me and considering the project Meilin took, I’m assuming… you two wanted to take over it and they proposed the alliance with a marriage…. but considering I’m the only heir of the Li family and nor you nor your children can take that position, you thought of bringing me here… so, simply put… this plan has been going on for over 5 years now, but you people still lost to her….”, the smile on his face was gloating, irking Mu Tianluo, but both sides knew this was the truth and even ZiXuan was a bit astounded by what Meilin has become in the few years he didn’t see her!
Well, one thing still stood that, he was really proud of her!!
“Mr Mu, give me back the Li family… and I’ll consider helping you!”, he didn’t think he needed to give this man any better offers, he may not like it, but the Li family’s assets didn’t only belong to that woman, it was the hard work of his grandparents, even if it was just for the sake of filial piety, he didn’t want it to stay under this man anymore…
But this had definitely disturbed Mu Tianluo till the end of his patience!
“Don’t get too full of yourself, you disgusting thing….! Your mother was a sow and so are you. No matter how far you go, I can still control you… I will see how long you can resist!”, deep hatred was seeping out of his eyes, but ZiXuan didn’t think anything.. he felt nothing towards the man’s words.
To him, the words of his family meant everything during the last 15 years and this man was not a part of it…. as for resisting his concerned… let’s see who gets to laugh at the end.
