The Emperors Pampered Wife - Chapter 86

There was excitement and adoration marked in Wei Yan’s face as she leaped towards the woman who entered their room. She grinned widely and buried herself in the woman’s arms and like a cat, Wei Yan melted in her touch. “Mom!”

It was the legendary Xing Mei Yi, Wei Yan’s mother, and the only daughter of Xing Mingli. She works for the Xing Empire doing all the stuff her brothers can no longer handle because of the amount of work piling in their desks.

Many know her as a cold-hearted and merciless woman who even beats up her husband, but in truth, she was a soft rabbit misunderstood by the world. When she felt her daughter’s embrace, Xing Mei Yi immediately felt her heart soften. She tenderly hugged her daughter back with a smile on her adorable face. “How have you been, Ah Yan?”

“I’m doing fine” Wei Yan said as she pulled away with a smile. Her beaming face immediately lightened up Xing Mei Yi’s mood that she no longer restrained herself and reached out for her hair. She gently ruffled it the same way he did when Wei Yan was young.

“That’s good to hear” she softly mumbled before pinching Wei Yan’s cheeks with a grin on her face. Wei Yan’s cheeks were no longer as fat as a dumpling when she was young but Xing Mei Yi felt nostalgic nonetheless.

“Auntie!” the others called out as they hurriedly huddled closer to the mother and daughter pair.

“Ah Fen” she called out as she smiled warmly to the group. Cheng Ying who was knew was rooted on the ground as soon as she did this. She had heard of Xing Mei Yi’s valor and even heard ridiculous rumors of how she can gobble a person whole if she wanted to. She never expected that instead of receiving a glare, she would meet Xing Mei Yi with a motherly smile on her face. “You’ve grown larger since the last time I saw you”

“That hurts, Auntie” Xing Cuifen immediately grumbled as she touched her cheeks. She had indeed gained more weight but she never knew it was so obvious that Xing Mei Yi won’t keep silent about it anymore. “Are you staying in the Xing Mansion this time?”

“I’m sorry, Ah Fen but I’m returning to France afterward” Xing Mei Yi blurted out before she turned her attention to the birthday celebrant. “I came here to hand my gift to our Jiayi”

Hearing her intentions, Jiayi can’t help but smile widely her way. It was already obvious, Xing Mei Yi is her favorite Auntie simply because she’s both cool and caring. “Auntie”

Xing Mei Yi grinned before she handed a small gift box to Liu Jiayi. She ruffled her hair before greeting her lovingly. “Happy Birthday, Jiayi”

Filled with excitement and vigor, Liu Jiayi wasted no time and opened up the box. Her eyes widened in surprise when she saw the car key inside it bearing the Xing Empire’s logo. By the design engraved in it, Liu Jiayi immediately knew that its the latest model from Xing Automobiles. “Auntie this—”

Before anything could be said, a huge light flashed outside taking all of their attention. Jiayi and the others hurriedly checked it out and to their surprise, it was the latest car released by the Xing, the Paradoxe XM2000. Jiayi then excitedly turned towards Xing Mei Yi and received her adorable wink. “I can’t give you something less grandeur, can I?”

The Xings and Lius are undeniably on the same side as one another. They had always helped one another when a crisis arises and support each other in their endeavors. That’s why to the Xings who refuse to bow down to the Jis, the support of the other royal families is of great value. Maintaining their relationship is essential to their survival as the Number One Family in China.

Liu Jiayi immediately leaped towards her and smiled widely in gratitude. “Thank you, Auntie”

“Auntie, we’re having a drinking session. Want to join us?” Liu Shan offered without haste. Again, Cheng Ying was dumbstruck with their unusual casualness. Asking a parent to join their drinking session is a first time for her. What made it even more bizarre is Xing Mei Yi’s wide smile. “It’s been a while since you hanged out with us and I’m sure Wei Wei missed you”

Xing Mei Yi immediately turned towards her daughter for approval. “If it’s alright with Ah Yan”

“Of course it’s alright” Wei Yan replied with a huge grin on her face. It’s truly been a while since she spent time with her mother. Even though her mother supervised her medication in America, they rarely had time to hang out because of their conflicting schedule. Her mother was busy handling their business as well as monitoring her treatment. If they have spare time, she would much rather let her mother rest than forcing her to have fun. “Let’s go in, Mom”

The table was set and the glasses are out. Neatly piled in a row were 11 glasses half-filled with beer and piled atop is a shot glass filled with Soju* that she managed to snitch from Xing Mingli’s prized collection. Ever since she got a taste of Soju when she was on vacation in Korea, Xing Mei Yi started to drink it more than the Baijiu her big brother adored.

With a flick of her hand, the shot glasses fell like a domino and the magic was mixed. Cheng Ying clapped her hand in both amazement and excitement. Xing Mei Yi can’t help but chuckle at her enthusiasm as she hands her a glass. “Wow!”

“I see that Auntie is still good at it” Liu Shan said as she received a glass from Xing Mei Yi. One by one, they were given a glass of Xing Mei Yi’s beer and soju mix.

When she heard such statement, Xing Mei Yi grinned towards Liu Shan. She had always shown off in front of them her infamous skills in both fighting and drinking. “There’s no reason to forget my roots”

“Auntie used to play as a gang leader in the past” Xing Cuifen blurted out to clear up Cheng Ying’s confusion.

Cheng Ying nodded her head as she looked closely at every single bit of Xing Mei Yi’s movements. “I heard rumors, but I didn’t believe them”

There are indeed plenty of rumors circulating amongst the people pertaining to Xing Mei Yi’s unique hobbies. She even heard absurd ones that tackle how she hides plenty of tattoos behind her flashy outfits, how she’s addicted to cocaine, how she loves to smoke, how she likes torturing both men and children, and how she manages a huge mafia organization. They were extremely absurd but people believe it anyway. There’s no evidence to their claims but Xing Mei Yi didn’t bother to clear up the misunderstandings.

Hearing her statement and noticing her gaze, Xing Mei Yi laughed her ass off. Looks like the entertainment she’s producing to people is blowing up more than she expected. “Ah Fen is exaggerating. I didn’t lead an official gang, we were just a group of friends who likes to mess around”

What she said is indeed true.

She never leads an official gang. They just liked hanging around, wreaking havoc across town, and messing whatever they can mess. The people in her group were her classmates who then brought their outer friends and then their friends brought more. Since their number is quite large, people immediately assumed they’re a gang and since she liked bossing around and leading the mischief they immediately pinpointed the role of leading to her. The things they did back then weren’t that horrible to be dubbed as a gang, but they were certainly not that nice either.

“That’s the same thing, Auntie” Cao Xiaolian remarked with a smile. “Official or not, you still lead a gang”

“Auntie is really the best” Xu Dandan mumbled as she raised her thumbs up. She always liked Xing Mei Yi, not just because she’s her aunt and Wei Yan’s mother, but because she was both brave and caring. She can get scary and strict when she needs to but most of the time, Xing Mei Yi is like a sprinkle who showers all of them with love. She’s the complete opposite of all the nasty rumors circulating around when she’s with either her family or those who managed to bypass her heart and charm her.

“Okay, let’s end the compliments there and raise our glasses for Little Jiayi” the Great Madame finally said as she raised her glass with a smile adorning her face.

Everyone looked at one another before raising their glasses up as well. With joy and vigor, their shout of enthusiasm filled the whole room. “Cheers!”

The refreshing sound of ‘Ah’ resonated across the room as they finished gulping down their drink. There were even a few of them, mostly from the younger ones, who burped, and what they did cause the older ones to chuckle at their adorable reaction. After a few more shots of High-Grade Baijiu* that Liu Shan prepared, it was finally time for a quick interview with the revered and honorable Princess Xing.

“Oh Auntie, I was wondering” Liu Shan opened up as she plopped herself on the sofa beside Xing Mei Yi. “If Wei Wei finds a lover, would you accept him?”

Anxiety immediately made it’s way to Wei Yan’s system as this question popped out. She never expected Liu Shan would confront her mother in such a way. In the past years, they’ve been together, Xing Mei Yi focused all her resources in curing and supporting Wei Yan. She allowed Wei Yan to linger with men but she had warned her countless times that having a relationship with someone is a serious issue to her. She didn’t want Wei Yan engaging in a relationship with someone whom she doesn’t know or approve.

She doesn’t know if her mother knows her current situation.

If she doesn’t and she eventually finds along the way, both her husband and she would be toasted live in the fire. Her mother would never let her off for marrying without her supervision!

“It depends on his determination” Xing Mei Yi suddenly blurted out taking Wei Yan by surprise.

Her mother showed hatred towards this issue in the past, why did she suddenly change?

Noticing her daughter’s anxiousness and curiosity, Xing Mei Yi merely smiled. She knew what her situation is. If Ji Li Zhao dared keep it from her, she would barge right at their door and behead him for such disrespect. Fortunately, he’s level headed and went straight for her approval. He had to endure for six months though.

She was willing to let go of her daughter. But she never said she would let go of her so easily.

“If he fights for her, why not?” she added with a grin on her face. Wei Yan flinched when she heard this because she knew exactly what she means. Fighting for her means fighting Xing Mei Yi and going through the whole clan to receive their approval.

When the time comes for their marriage to be revealed, her husband is in for serious trouble.

“You heard that Wei Wei” Liu Shan remarked while chuckling. She had always wanted to see Wei Yan happy with the man of her dreams. They are known as lionesses who love to protect their precious friend from anyone but if someone is brave enough and honorable enough to get their approval then all of them would be more than happy to let her go. Wei Yan deserves happiness as much as they do. “Now all that’s left is for you to find a man”

“Grandpa and Grandma will be returning back here in China. Once they get here, I’m sure they will begin their tortures on you” Xing Cuifen blurted out with a smile. When she said this, both Wei Yan and Meixiu looked at one another.

Their return is joyous but to someone like her who has a ton of things hiding in her closet, it means nothing but trouble. It looks like she’s in for trouble again.

“Oh, the Grand Elder is coming back? Why?”

Xing Cuifen smiled when they asked this. They’ve been away for a long time because of the business expansion abroad. She often accompanied her Grandparents abroad but she’s staying in the Xing Mansion most of the time to handle their little ones so their return is a great thing to her. “They’re finally handing over the Spanish Business to Elder Sister Juan”

“That’s exciting” Liu Jiayi remarked with a huge grin on her face. “I can already imagine Chungsa and Fe Rou Chao’ s pale expression”

It’s no secret anymore that they loath Fe Chungsa and the one who loathes her the best is none other than the superstar posing as her friend, Tan Jia. “Oh, the torture”

Cuifen laughed at the two youngsters’ enthusiasm. She never thought her grandparents’ return has other significance in their life. “When that time comes, let’s all have fun”

In the midst of their laughter and giggles, Xing Mei Yi placed her cup with a terrifying look on her face. “No”

Everyone was left astonished and confused by her actions and the scary look on her face. She was always kind to them. The only time she reacts strictly is when they’re in trouble or in danger. But why would she appear so guarded when the enemy is merely Fe Rou Chao? Is there something they don’t know?

“Auntie?”

“Don’t engage in a quarrel with the” Xing Mei Yi added making all of them even more confused. Is she afraid?

To confirm their assumptions, they turned towards Wei Yan who immediately mouthed ‘hatred’. Her mother isn’t afraid of Fe Rou Chao and her daughter but rather filled with hatred to the brim. She thought she already knows all the reason why her mother hated the mother and daughter pair but the fire and caution currently brewing in her mother’s eyes is deeper. Perhaps there are things she doesn’t know yet and it’s because her mother refuses to speak of it.

“Why?” Xing Cuifen asked, unable to contain the itchy curiosity in her system. “They are just tiny ants we can easily squish, Auntie”

“Even ants have a powerful sting when they bite, Cuifen” Xing Mei Yi mumbled before she changed the look on her face. She adjusted her emotions and immediately hide away the seeping hatred that’s making the children wary. “I don’t want you guys suffering even a tiny bit”

“Auntie, we’re tougher than we look” Liu Shan defended making Xing Mei Yi skim through them. Well, their group is indeed mighty.

They have two military women; Qiu Meixiu and Yue Xiaoli. They also have women trained in defending themselves since childhood; the Liu Sisters, Xing Cuifen, Xu Dandan, and Hou Wei Yan. Although she doesn’t know how Cheng Ying was raised, she heard she’s quite strong and witty much like Tan Jia. Not to mention, they also have reliable Cao Xiaolian.

They are indeed a powerhouse but no matter how strong they are, the battle is not theirs to fight.

“I know” Xing Mei Yi mumbled with an endearing smile. “But I don’t want you guys to fight an unnecessary battle. Fe Rou Chao and her daughter is mine to take”

The girls looked at one another once more. They know Xing Mei Yi hated the pair so what she said made them realize where the boundary lies.

“Sorry for intruding” someone said from behind them. All of them turned around and saw one of Xing Mei Yi’s assistant. “Madame, the car is waiting for you”

Time was up. Her little side trip was over and now it’s time for her to return as the mighty businesswoman of the Xings. She stood up and gave them a warm smile. “You girls have fun. This Auntie still has a lot of things to do”

The girls were left with no choice but to pout at her early departure. Xing Mei Yi chuckled at their cuteness before she walked towards Wei Yan and kissed her forehead as a sign of farewell. “I’ll see you again on your birthday”

“I’ll look forward to it, Mom” Wei Yan sweetly mumbled as she kissed her mother back. Her birthday would happen two months from now so she was ecstatic of the thought of meeting her whole family there. “Take care”

Everyone waved their goodbye as Xing Mei Yi entered her fully tinted white limo. They thought she was alone inside but their expectation is far from reality for inside waits the mighty Emperor himself. “Ji Li Zhao”

“Good evening, Mother” Li Zhao politely greeted as e gave her a sincere smile.

Xing Mei Yi smiled back and she relaxed her shoulders. They’ve been meeting from time to time ever since she accepted him as Wei Yan’s husband. In exchange for her acceptance, Ji Li Zhao was obliged to report to her Wei Yan’s condition and how she’s coping up in her stay in China. “How’s your plan going?”

“Still on Phase One, mother” Li Zhao replied without haste. Xing Mei Yi sighed at this before she raised her hand as a signal to their driver to keep going.

“I want you to fasten the pace. My parents are returning” she blurted out with seriousness. She was able to hide the marriage because her parents are busy abroad but if everything isn’t going smoothly on his side, then she will be forced to tell them the truth. “If by then Wei Yan still hasn’t accepted you, I won’t be able to help you anymore”

Li Zhao nodded his head at her warning. He knows what the Elders return implies. His plan may still be in Phase One but he’s nearly at the finish line. “I understand, mother”

“How was the thing I asked you going?” Xing Mei Yi suddenly asked forcing Li Zhao to return to his senses.

“This is the latest people we managed to track down that specializes in poison” he replied as he handed a neat folder to the esteemed lady.

This was one of the reasons why they often meet up. Xing Mei Yi has been asking Ji Li Zhao for favors and this one is by far what she’s always asking for.

She’s searching for people who specialize in poison.

He doesn’t know why or what her purpose is. No matter how many times he asked, she only replies with vague answers and always avoid further interrogation. He complies with her request because she’s Wei Yan’s mother but somehow, this certain request keeps on bugging him.

Why would the Great Princess Xing look for poison experts unless she wants to use it on someone? As to who that someone is, he can hardly guess.

“Thank you” Xing Mei Yi politely said as she checked the contents of the folder. Certainly, Palisades’ information gathering is comparable to no one. All the information she needed was intact and even their pictures and activities are well detailed.

When he saw the faint smile on her face, Ji Li Zhao can’t help but try once more to pry on the reason she’s seeking out these people. “Mother still hasn’t explained why she needs these people”

“I can’t tell you” Xing Mei Yi replied without hesitation. Li Zhao remained silent even though he saw caution and fear clearly written in her eyes. This was the exact reaction he receives every time he asks her for her reasons. “It’s for your own good”

“Then I won’t ask anymore” Li Zhao softly stated in hopes of Xing Mei Yi returning to her normal state. The coldness in her eyes remained as though the person she hated was standing in front of her. She remained in this state for a while before she reverted to her calm and recluse demeanor.

Her grip on the folder tightened before she stared seriously at her son-in-law. “I hope my daughter is doing fine under your care”

Li Zha smiled when she asked this. He is indeed lacking as a husband because of his incapability to face his fears and reveal himself to her so he’s trying his best to cope it up by tending on his wife with utmost care. “I’m doing my best to lessen her burdens and continuously monitoring her health”

“If something happens to her, even the slightest of wounds, don’t forget to inform me” she blurted out, worry evident in her voice. Li Zhao knew just how much Xing Mei Yi treasures Wei Yan so he smiled, unable to decipher the deeper worry in her strained voice.

“I understand, mother”

“I also have a favor to ask” she remarked all of a sudden. He was quite taken aback because she said it herself, she rarely asks favors when she already asked one.

Nonetheless, Li Zhao gave her a heartwarming smile. He is her son-in-law and as a son, he needs to obey what his mother asks. “As long as it’s within my capabilities, I will do every favor you ask”

“It’s regarding my other children” Xing Mei Yi blurted out with sadness and worry. She debated about it for a long time but had delayed asking Ji Li Zhao in fear of someone finding out her plan of monitoring her children once more.

“After I left the household, Wei Yan was my only source of information inside. When I brought her to America, I also lost contact with my children and since then, had no information regarding their welfare” she added, her tears illuminated by the brightness of the car. “I want to know how they are and at the very least, have a form of the monitoring system with them”

She was known as a tigress, a man-eating monster, but she’s truthfully weak when it comes to her children. She had vowed when she was young that she will give her all to her children so when something came up with Wei Yan, she was forced to focus her attention on her in fear of losing her while she’s not looking.

She saved Wei Yan, but in the process, abandoned her other children.

This fact hurts more than a thousand stab wounds that she can no longer handle it. The guilt eating her up can no longer be contained so she decided that it was time she takes action even if it means gambling everything in the game.

“Did you not visit them in the past?” Li Zhao asked curiously. The information he has on the couple’s relationship is as tiny as an ant so this piqued his interest.

Was their relationship so bad that she’s no longer allowed to visit?

“I did. But Guanyu must be present during our meetings” Xing Mei Yi remarked, hatred and disgust evident in her voice. The whole world knows she loathed her husband and his mistress. But the look in her eyes doesn’t do justice to that fact. The hatred she has for Hou Guanyu was deeper than hell itself. “I don’t trust that bastard”

Ji Li Zhao was taken by surprise. He knew she was good at cursing people but to curse her husband with such a dreadful look in her eyes is terrifying. It looked like she wants to murder him but can’t so she’s holding it all in.

Was the poison meant for Hou Guanyu after all? Does this mean she’s planning to poison him discretely and avoid persecution by the law and her children?

But based on Xing Mei Yi’s actions by far, her reason is quite out of place. If she wanted to do it she could have done it while Wei Yan was in America. There are other means to destroy Hou Guanyu and Fe Rou Chao without using poison. As the cunning Princess Xing, why would she stoop so low as to use poison?

Everything is out of place. Xing Mei Yi wouldn’t dare do that. He’s certainly missing information about both the Xing and Hou Family, especially the two couple who bore hatred with one another.

“After Wei Yan was brought to America, I had to focus all my attention on her recovery. I’ve been entrusting the children to their father and was neglecting them in the process” she suddenly said which halted Li Zhao’s long train of thought. “Now that our 8 years contract is done, I’m afraid something wrong will happen”

“8 years contract?” he asked with confusion.

Did they create a contract? 8 years was the time Wei Yan went to America and returned to China. Was it related to her wife?

“You shouldn’t know” Xing Mei Yi hurriedly said when she realized her mistake. “Keep your hands off this matter, I beg you”

“Is it something that may harm my wife?” Ji Li Zhao asked, now fully concerned regarding the matter. Why would she desperately keep him away from it if it doesn’t involve serious danger?

Because of how she acted, Ji Li Zhao was finally convinced that something was wrong with the couple. They hid their problem so well that no one could share any information regarding it.

“Just keep Wei Yan safe and don’t mind my war with her father” she blurted out as she looked away. She hates her husband and she promised to break his neck when the time is right. For now, she needs to endure and keep her children safe at all costs. She doesn’t know when the devil will strike so she needed to be fully prepared for what’s coming. “Don’t let her know that I’m planning to end Guanyu’s career”

Ji Li Zhao remained silent after she said this. She can do whatever she wants but involving his wife is something he really can’t tolerate.

He wanted to reprimand her but who is he to do that? Unless he wants to end his career as Wei Yan’s husband, he needs to keep his inner thoughts to himself.

“Is that all?” he finally asked after a long moment of silence.

“That’s enough for me” Xing Mei Yi remarked as their car halted at Li Zhao’s estate. All his men were already lined up outside and were already well aware whose accompanying their boss. Xing Mei Yi smiled at the sight before smiling at Li Zhao. “I don’t want to see Wei Yan crying because of you”

“I won’t make her cry” Li Zhao replied without haste before he took his first step out the car.

As soon as he got out, Xing Mei Yi gave her final warning. With a serious look on her face and piercing gaze, Li Zhao felt he needed to do more for his wife. “Make sure you don’t”

“Boss” Huang Xun called out when Xing Mei Yi’s car finally went out of their sight. He knew his boss was witty but he was smitten with Wei Yan and became an obedient son to Xing Mei Yi. That’s why his curiosity brewed when he left important information from his mother-in-law. “Why didn’t you include Dr. Guozhi on the list?”

Ji Li Zhao halted before he seriously looked at Huang Xun. Aside from the high ranking officials of Palisades, no one knows of his Miracle Doctor’s existence. He’s skeptical with Xing Mei Yi and Hou Guanyu so he need not reveal his trump card to anyone, even to them.

“Guozhi belongs to Palisades. When I brought him in, I promised that his identity as a master in poison won’t ever get revealed to anyone outside our organization” he coolly stated as he began walking towards the manor. He’s a man who keeps his promises so he will never sell out Guozhi. He helped him strengthen Palisades, how could he let such a man face danger after everything he has done for them?

“Besides, we don’t know what Madame Xing’s aim is” he added with a serious look on his face.

Ji Li Zhao was always skeptical of the world ever since he was young. He may appear like he fully trusts someone but deep inside, he still holds doubt and always has a back-up plan prepared if ever betrayal comes knocking on his door.

In his eyes, the world is filled with shadows and the only light he has is his wife. He will remain undaunted and keep his principles intact to remain safe and remain in control of his family.

Huang Xun tilted his head at his remark. So something is wrong with their Lady boss’s parents? “Do you think it has something to do with the Madame?”

“I don’t know” Li Zhao answered as they finally entered the mansion. “Something seems wrong”

“With Madame Xing?”

“With their whole family” he immediately answered. He has plenty of information in his hands but he does not possess everything. Some secrets are well hidden so cracking them was harder. They’re part of the Royalties after all. “How’s the information gathering?”

“There is still a lot of information that we haven’t gathered regarding the Hou and Xing Family” Huang Xun read out from his tablet. The one who hacked and boldly plastered it for his eyes to see was none other Makio Shun who was coolly typing codes and munching his snacks.

“As I thought. It’s not going to be easy” Li Zhao remarked with a sigh. “Continue the information gathering. Order Makio to infiltrate Hou Mansion’s monitoring system and send some spies to monitor the Hou Siblings”

“Yes boss” his reliable assistant replied before typing down his orders on his precious tablet.

Li Zhao nodded at his energetic response. “Report everything to me”

“Roger” Huang Xun replied as he opened the room to Li Zhao’s study. Because Wei Yan wasn’t in Li Wei Mansion, Li Zhao had no reason to return.

So he went back to his normal routine before Wei Yan entered his life. For the rest of the evening, he will stay hauled up in his study finishing all the paper works and planning the next move for his Empire.

As soon as he sat on his cushioned chair, he immediately opened up the tablet sitting by the corner. When he saw the sleeping figure on the screen, Li Zhao warmly smiled before planting a kiss on it. He was about to turn it off after bidding his goodnight when he noticed the other girls hauled up in the corner while whispering.

Because of their interesting tablet, Li Zhao left the tablet open and listened as he began signing the papers piled on his table.

“I still can’t forgive what Chungsa did today” Liu Shan silently muttered while clenching her fist and anger seething from her head like a heater.

Xing Cuifen knew this was bound to happen but she can’t forget what Xing Mei Yi said to them. She wants to finish the mother and daughter pair for everything they did. Her Aunt deserves the satisfaction of their destruction for all the trouble they caused. “Shannie. Auntie already said not to intervene”

“I’m not intervening in their war. Chungsa was the one who waged a new war with me” she immediately replied making Yue Xiaoli who was always itching for a fight smile by the corner alongside Tan Jia who bore a deep grudge against Hou Chungsa.

Qiu Meixiu sighed at her hotheadedness. Liu Shan’s temper is certainly a headache. “Don’t tell me you want to barge in the Hou Estate?”

“There’s no need” Tan Jia coolly replied before flashing them a wide and sadistic grin. “I received Chungsa’s invitation to go out shopping tomorrow with her minions”

Upon hearing such good news, Yue Xiaoli laughed. Her voice was about to resonate across the room so Cao Xiaolian immediately jumped at her and covered her mouth. She then pointed at the sleeping Wei Yan before letting her go. Instead of laughing boisterously, Yue Xiaoli’s face turned demonic as she silently gave her evil laugh. “That’s great, Tan Jia”

Liu Jiayi sighed at all the ruckus going on. “So whose side will you be on, tomorrow?”

“Chungsa’s lackey” Tan Jia replied without haste. She’s planning on ruining Hou Chungsa for a lifetime and the only way to do that is by remaining by her side as a friend and using underhanded tricks to stab her in the back like a real devil. “If you bully her, please go easy on me”

“That won’t be realistic” Yue Xiaoli mumbled with a pout. She’s undeniably a wild beast when she fights so oftentimes, she can no longer know who’s friend or foe, nor does she know how to hold back.

“Sister Xiaoli, please?”

“Okay, okay” she said with laughter. At first it was a burst of warmhearted laughter because she teased Tan Jia. But soon, when the thought of the fun stuffs about to happen her mind clouded and her laughter turned demonic. “It’s been a long time since I made someone grovel to the ground”

Qiu Meixiu immediately sent her a hit on the head. “You psycho. You just had a brawl last week!”

Yue Xiaoli pouted at her actions. Seriously, Qiu Meixiu is such a sadist. “But that fight wasn’t fun”

“Then let’s make it challenging tomorrow” Liu Shan remarked with a smile. Soon, she laughed an evil laugh and placed her hands in the center for a cheer. The other smiled wickedly before they placed their hands and together, they raised it with an evil master plan brewing in their head.

Xu Dandan and Cheng Ying, the youngsters of the group shook their heads together. Cheng Ying felt her insides tremble just by the thought of offending one of them. Their unity is something to behold. “I’m glad I’m not their enemy”

“I should try not to make them angry at me” she added when she saw just how wicked they look. They’re like a bunch of hyenas laughing at their pathetic prey or a pack of demons celebrating their victories together. It’s so scary children would be traumatic if they ever see such sight.

“You probably should” Xu Dandan said with a laugh. “Anyway, let’s watch tomorrow’s spectacle on the sideline”

Cheng Ying smiled at her because she thought Xu Dandan was really planning on playing on the sideline. But she immediately felt herself shiver when she saw the evil smile adorning her beautiful face. She can’t help but be glad that they’re on the same side and internally cry at the same time.

‘Wah! This group is scary!’ she shouted in her mind, their beautiful faces filled with malice now fully marked in her head. In this lifetime, she better keeps a low profile and never offends such a group. She felt invincible in the past but compared to them, she’s nothing but a small rabbit in the middle of a pack of lionesses.
