Becoming The Bigshot's Only Love After Breaking Her Engagement-Chapter 624: The Tyrant’s Wife-Chasing Redemption Arc
Shangxue chuckled, "Miss Meng is really lively and adorable; mainly, Young Master Xie is too good-looking, so it’s not entirely her fault."
"Miss Shangxue is right. Young Master Xie is a rare handsome man. Even I can’t help but want to take another look," Mr. Meng sighed.
Xie Mingyu was speechless, a black line appearing on his face.
He coughed lightly and said to Mr. Meng, "Since there’s nothing else, can we leave now?"
Mr. Meng hurriedly said, "No rush, why not stay for dinner?"
"We’ve already had dinner."
"Then stay for supper. I must fulfill my duties as a host, or else it would be impolite."
"Yu, let’s stay a little longer. There’s no rush to leave," Shangxue said.
Xie Mingyu frowned.
Seeing Shangxue agree, and noticing Xie Mingyu obviously listening to her, Mr. Meng was delighted and quickly ordered preparations.
After Xie Mingyu and the others left, he quietly asked Shangxue, "Why stay? We don’t even know if these people have good intentions. What if they mean us harm?"
"Don’t worry, with so many people inviting us over and being polite, they won’t mean us harm," Shangxue said confidently.
"But what if? People can be unpredictable. You’re too naive. Also, you gave them the antidote so easily; what if that woman recovers and harms us?" Xie Mingyu’s character was stubborn and not easily trusting of anyone.
"She won’t," Shangxue said. "Since Mr. Meng investigated our identities, he knows we’re not to be messed with. Insisting on having us for dinner is to make amends. Since they’re willing to apologize, let’s give them a way out. It’s better to resolve enmity than keep it."
"Fine, your reasoning makes sense, so I’ll listen to you." Xie Mingyu listened to her convincing argument and had no choice but to believe her.
However, he didn’t know that prior to coming over, Shangxue had secretly notified Xunyou to come over.
Over the years, Xunyou had been in charge of overseas forces.
To ensure Xie Mingyu’s safety, many arrangements were made during the journey.
Besides the reasons she mentioned earlier, Shangxue forgave Meng Ying and trusted Mr. Meng to deliberately delay time without turning against them, waiting for Xunyou to arrive with reinforcement.
Of course, she didn’t tell Xie Mingyu this to avoid scaring him.
Meng Ying quickly cleaned her hair, washing it three or four times with the potion, and indeed, it didn’t itch anymore.
She happily went out to tell Mr. Meng.
Mr. Meng smiled and said, "Aren’t you going to thank Mr. Xie and Miss Shangxue?"
"They’re the ones who tricked me; why should I thank them?" Meng Ying said angrily.
Mr. Meng scolded, "Wasn’t it because you were being immature and purposely provoked them? If you hadn’t started the trouble, none of this would have happened. Mr. Xie and Miss Shangxue were generous and didn’t hold it against you, so of course, you should thank them."
"Alright, alright, thank you," Meng Ying reluctantly apologized.
Xie Mingyu wasn’t one to hold grudges against women. Seeing Meng Ying apologize, he forgave her.
After supper, Xie Mingyu proposed that they return.
As expected, Mr. Meng didn’t persuade them to stay longer, likely feeling that Xie Mingyu had accepted his apology and wouldn’t hold a grudge.
Shangxue also didn’t invite Xunyou to bring people over, considering they were let go peacefully, why cause more trouble?
But unexpectedly, when Meng Ying saw them about to leave, she suddenly insisted on speaking to Xie Mingyu alone.
Frowning, Shangxue immediately opposed, "No way, Miss Meng, Mr. Meng is here, don’t cause trouble."
She assumed Meng Ying couldn’t let go of Xie Mingyu and wanted to do something.
Mr. Meng misunderstood too and immediately admonished Meng Ying.
Meng Ying quickly raised her hand and swore, "I really just want to say a couple of words, I have no other intentions, and I won’t do anything."
After speaking, she looked at her brother with a pleading gaze.
Mr. Meng had always pampered this little sister and seeing the hardships she suffered today, couldn’t bear to make her sadder.
"Miss Shangxue, Ying’er definitely won’t do anything, please let her speak to Mr. Xie for a moment, I guarantee there’s no cause for concern."
Since Mr. Meng said so, how could Shangxue refuse?
But still, Xie Mingyu said, "I have nothing to say to her, besides, my girlfriend disagrees."
"What I want to say is about your girlfriend. Aren’t you curious about your girlfriend’s secret?" Meng Ying said.
Xie Mingyu chuckled coldly, "What secret could my girlfriend have? She’s been with me since she was a child; I know everything about her inside and out."
"Really?" Meng Ying smiled mysteriously.
Xie Mingyu was intrigued by her, unable to resist asking Shangxue, "Can I have a moment alone with her?"
Of course, Shangxue wouldn’t refuse and nodded, "Mm, go ahead."
She agreed readily, not just to give Mr. Meng face, but also because she believed she had no secrets that Meng Ying could tell Xie Mingyu.
So, she was fearless.
Unexpectedly, Meng Ying really did have her secret to tell Xie Mingyu.
She relayed everything Shangxue had said to her to Xie Mingyu. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚
After speaking, she ambiguously asked Xie Mingyu, "Is she really so skilled in that area that she conquered you?"
Xie Mingyu’s jade-like face flushed scarlet, more beautiful than March peach blossoms.
Once again, Meng Ying was stunned by his beauty and regained her senses, unable to resist sighing.
Such a handsome man, what a pity she wouldn’t have a chance with him.
"Why should our private matters be any of your concern?" Xie Mingyu said angrily, embarrassed.
Finished, he left Meng Ying behind and walked away.
Seeing him return with an unpleasant expression, Shangxue hurriedly asked, "What’s the matter? What did Miss Meng say to you?"
"Nothing, don’t ask," Xie Mingyu replied, still flushed.
Mr. Meng also stood there speechless, wanting to ask something. Shangxue smiled and shook her head, "It’s fine, Mr. Meng, we will take our leave now, see you next time."
Mr. Meng nodded.
Watching Xie Mingyu and Shangxue leave, he sighed, "Miss Shangxue is truly a wonderful woman."
Meng Ying exclaimed in annoyance, "What’s so great about her? She’s not even pretty; she’s not worthy of Xie Mingyu."
"You only know how to judge by looks. Can good looks be eaten? A woman like Shangxue who benefits her home and husband is true fortune," Mr. Meng scolded Meng Ying.
Meng Ying pouted; she didn’t agree, she liked handsome men.
Unfortunately, she was a step too late, and Shangxue got ahead of her.
"What exactly did Miss Meng say to you? Why do you look so upset?"
On the boat, Shangxue, seeing Xie Mingyu still looking uncomfortable, asked worriedly.
Xie Mingyu shook his head, "Nothing happened, she said nothing."
"Impossible," Shangxue said, "There’s no way you’d react like this without her saying something. She mentioned she’d tell you my secret. What secret do I have that she could tell you? I’m not even close with her."
