His Majesty is Scheming - C226
Go home? Long Zhenghao was definitely not here, she was only worried about her safety, but other than going home, where else could she go? He couldn’t possibly go to Liang Jia’s villa to find someone, right? Even if Long Zhenghao didn’t know what he was doing, it would still be too sudden for him to just run over. He might not even let him in.
After a long period of hesitation, Ling Meng Zhu finally decided to head home. This was the only way!
Mrs. Ling peeked her head out from the kitchen and saw Ling Mengzhu coming home alone. She asked her, “Zhenhao, are you not coming back yet?” Where had he been these past few days? “If you don’t answer the phone, there’s no news.”
“I don’t know either.” Ling Mengzhu casually threw her bag on the sofa, and her body also sank into the sofa.
“He didn’t contact you either? Could something have happened? ” Mrs. Ling began to worry, her hand holding the shovel stiff in the air. “Then should we call the police? This sort of thing should be reported to the police as soon as possible. ”
“Mom, no need. He’s fine.” Ling Mengzhu lazily sighed as she played with her delicate phone in her palm. She also hoped that Long Zhenghao would suddenly give her a call, but she had been looking forward to it for a long time, and hadn’t been able to get a single call.
Forget it, whatever he wanted to do was up to him. In any case, it had nothing to do with her. Ling Mengzhu thought angrily, then went back to her bedroom and changed her clothes. After taking a comfortable bath, she came out just in time to eat.
Mrs. Ling had lived here for so long that she had become acquainted with the rich ladies downstairs. Every night after dinner, she would go downstairs to the garden and dance with a bunch of old ladies.
Today, she went as well, leaving Ling Mengzhu alone at home, barefoot on the cool wooden floor. After circling around, she walked up the stairs step by step. Even though her relationship with Long Zhenghao had improved, she rarely went up anymore. She had always remembered that Long Zhenghao didn’t like other people coming to her bedroom, so she hadn’t come up.
After the looting of the last few intruders, the second floor had been ruined, and Mrs. Ling had taken advantage of their rest time to tidy up the room. The room had been restored to its original position, and even the photo had been placed in its original position.
Ling Mengzhu walked barefoot to the bed and bent down to pick up the photo frame on the table. Looking at the frozen smile on the photo, she suddenly felt that it was very eye-catching. He cursed silently in his heart: I don’t even want you, and you’re still smiling so happily!
This photo was no longer suitable to be placed here. Ling Mengzhu picked up the photo, looked at her surroundings, then turned and walked out. Next to the bedroom was the study room, which was a place Ling Mengzhu had never been before. Today, she suddenly had the urge to go in and take a look and see what he was usually busy with. She stood at the door hesitating for a long time before finally opening it and walking in.
The study was as large as the bedroom. There were windows on the floor, and a row of large bookshelves filled with all kinds of books. There were those in the medical profession, those in the legal profession, and even those in the financial profession.
None of these items were of interest to her, and she could not understand why. She walked directly to the information rack and the desk, only to discover that the drawers and cabinets on both the shelves and the desk were all securely locked. He pressed open the computer and saw that it was also encrypted. Other than a few medical materials and a few medical books, there was nothing else on the desk.
Ling Meng Zhu had specifically come here to look for traces related to Rian’s company. He hadn’t thought that he would not even find a single piece of paper related to Rian. She did not know what was hidden in those locked cabinets, but she could vaguely sense that there was something inside.
Could it be the information about Ryan that was hidden inside? If he was Liam’s boss, there was no way his family didn’t have information about the company, right? It should have been, but he didn’t understand why he hid it so well. Liam was in the right business, and he had no reason to hide it like a thief. Or … She was the only one hiding it?
In the end, Ling Mengzhu walked out of the study empty-handed, carrying the photo in her arms and headed downstairs.
She put the photograph of herself on her bedside table, and when she opened her eyes she saw how sweet she had been smiling. Although, looking at the woman in the photo, she still felt strange.
The doorbell suddenly rang in the quiet room. Ling Mengzhu walked out of the room doubtfully. When she saw Liang Jia through the door, she immediately opened the door. Liang Jia was standing at the doorway. She was smiling when she looked at her. However, that smile did not reach her eyes.
“Miss Ling, why didn’t you invite me in?” Liang Jia gave her a faint smile as she walked past her. She sized up the room as she walked in. “I’m sorry to disturb you, Miss Ling. You don’t seem to welcome me.”
After closing the door, Ling Mengzhu followed her into the house, and asked her as she looked at her back, “Miss Liang, you clearly know that Zhenghao is not home, yet you still came here. You must have been looking for me, right? “If you have something to say, just say it.”
Liang Jia’s arrival somewhat made her uneasy. The current Liang Jia was no longer the Liang Jia of the past. She was afraid. He wasn’t afraid that she would hurt him, but that she would bring him bad news about Long Zhenghao.
Liang Jia looked back at her before gracefully sitting on the sofa and smiling, “I came to discuss a matter with you, I don’t know you …”
“What is it?” Ling Mengzhu interrupted her with a vigilant look. This expression made Liang Jia smile again. She looked at her and mocked, “Look how anxious you are. Can’t you just quietly listen to everything I say?”
“Go ahead.” Ling Mengzhu took a light breath and calmed herself down. Yes … She was a little too anxious, too crazy!
“Then I won’t beat around the bush. What I want to tell you is that I hope you can give up on Zhenghao and leave his side.”
Just as she finished speaking, Ling Meng Zhu’s heart skipped a beat. In fact, from the moment Liang Jia entered the room, she already had a premonition that she was looking for him for this matter. But when he heard her say so, he was still surprised and looked at her in astonishment.
Give Long Zhenghao to her? If there really was a choice, she would not hesitate to shake her head and reject it. However, this matter didn’t seem to be decided by her alone. Long Zhenghao wasn’t a product on the shelf, so she could let him have it.
She smiled and said calmly, “Miss Liang, your words are a little strange. Isn’t Long Zhenghao already by your side? Why did you come here and talk nonsense to me? Do I even have the right to say no? ”
Long Zhenghao had been with her in her house for two days, so she didn’t understand.
A trace of failure flashed past Liang Jia’s clear eyes, but she maintained a calm expression. “Men always see and love each other, and he can’t possibly only focus on me, so I hope that you can take the initiative to stay away from him.”
“If Miss Liang doesn’t even have the confidence to grasp his heart, what’s the use in forcing him? You must know, there are a lot of women in the world. Even if I am willing to leave him voluntarily, other women might not agree to do so. ”
“Just do your job. You don’t have to worry about anything else!” Liang Jia angrily glared at her. The anger in her heart was completely fueled by jealousy. That’s right, she was jealous of Ling Mengzhu, the only woman who could move Long Zhenghao’s heart!
She had always known Long Zhenghao’s feelings towards women. Once he fell in love, he wouldn’t easily give up and move on. Therefore, Ling Meng Pearl was her greatest enemy. As for the other girls, she did not think that they could become her threat.
“Since you dare to make such a serious request for me to give in, you must have grabbed hold of some bargaining chip to come knocking on my door. Why don’t you tell me your chip for now? I think it’s worth it for me to give up my happiness for the rest of my life to fulfill your wish.”
Ling Mengzhu walked to the opposite of her and sat down, staring at her fixedly. Give way, does she still have a way out?
Liang Jia was also staring at her, saying, “You should know that Zhenghao is in trouble right now. Regarding the poison, if he can’t bring it out, Brother Liu won’t let him go. Then, it’s very possible that your noon meeting today will be the last meeting of this life.”
“What did you say?” Ling Meng Zhu stood up from the sofa and stared at her with a face full of shock. “You said that Zheng Hao …”
“What I’m talking about is what you just heard. Zhenghao was in the house recuperating when he said it, but in reality, he was under Brother Liu’s house arrest. For the sake of helping him take out the poison, who knows when this house arrest will turn into a killing blow. ”
Every word she said was knocked heavily into Ling Mengzhu’s heart, leaving her dumbstruck. She had never thought that things would turn out like this. She had always thought that Long Zhenghao was really staying in the mansion to accompany Liang Jia.
Softlock… She didn’t know what that was, but she had heard of Liu-ge before, and she had seen his ruthlessness quite a few times. So Long Zhenghao was in Brother Liu’s hands now? Heavens …!
She excitedly threw herself in front of Liang Jia, grabbed her hand and incoherently asked, “Miss Liang, how is he now? Did Brother Liu capture him? Is his life in danger now? ”
Liang Jia disdainfully shook off her hand and gave her a cold smile. “What do you think? “Or do you think?”
“Then what should we do? Tell me what to do. I’ll just do it! ” Ling Mengzhu’s tears flowed down, her mind was filled with the news that Long Zhenghao might be killed. She was worried, afraid …
If Liang Jia was using this to threaten her to leave Long Zhenghao, she would do it, because she couldn’t let Long Zhenghao be in danger!
Seeing her tears, Liang Jia knew how much she cared about Long Zhenghao. She could not help but feel both hate and hate in her heart, but of course, she was also a little happy. “Brother Liu and I have a bit of a relationship. If I were to step in, things wouldn’t be so bad.”
Liang Jia paused for a moment, then continued, “But you should know, I love Zhenghao more than you. If I can protect her, but he became the husband of another woman, I think I’d rather let him be killed by Liu-ge. Do you understand what I mean?”
“I… “Understood.” Ling Mengzhan felt heartache. That’s right, she understood, but … His heart ached!
“It’s good that you understand. When you decide to leave Long Zhenghao one day, I’ll speak to Liu-ge again.” “But don’t think about playing dirty with me. After all, Liu-ge isn’t dead yet. Even if Liu-ge is dead, he still has a lot of underlings.” Liang Jia’s face showed a hint of cruelty and hostility. She stared at Ling Mengzhan as if she wanted to kill her. One could only imagine how much she loved and hated him.
Ling Mengzhu hurriedly said, “Miss Liang, you don’t have to wait any longer. I’ll leave him at once. Please go and find Brother Liu and have a word with him.”
“If you have feelings, then you have to act. First, you have to move out from here. Then, you have to personally tell him that you have someone you love. You won’t love her.”
“Alright, I’ll move tomorrow. I’ll definitely move.” Ling Mengzhu was too anxious, so anxious that she could only nod her head in acknowledgement.
Liang Jia smiled in satisfaction. “That’s good. I’m waiting for you to come out of here.” As he finished speaking, he picked up his handbag and headed towards the door, closing it behind him. The sound of the door slapping against the edge of the door repeatedly echoed in Ling Meng Zhu’s ears.
She was stunned and stood beside the sofa for a long time. Liang Jia came and went, and in less than ten minutes, she left her with such a cold order. It was impossible for her to not carry it out.
If Long Zhenghao could truly live a peaceful life, if Liang Jia and he could truly get married, then she would have to accept it.
