Days of Living with My Sister-in-Law-Chapter 231: A Huge Opportunity

To be honest, Luo Qingcheng had found it strange as well. After all, the Luo Family’s assets were less than two hundred million. The momentous task of hosting Qin Shihua should have never fallen to them.

But who could have imagined this was all Murong Qi’s doing?

At this moment, gazing at Luo Qingcheng’s cold, beautiful face, Murong Qi couldn’t have been more smug as he said, "Cousin, what I said is true, of course. But you don’t need to thank me. We’re all relatives, so when a great opportunity like this came up, your family was the first one I thought of.

"The Qin Family is the most colossal presence in the Lower Three Continents. As long as you serve Miss Qin well, wouldn’t the Luo Family soar to new heights?

"When that time comes, you’d better not forget the support your little cousin once gave the Luo Family!

"Hahaha—"

"Murong Qi!" Luo Qingcheng ground her teeth.

To any other family, this might have been a tremendous opportunity, but to the Luo Family, it was nothing but trouble. This was especially true since Murong Qi was the one who had arranged it; Luo Qingcheng refused to believe he had good intentions.

Murong Xiaoyi was about to explode with rage at her half-brother. She clenched her small fists and shouted, "Murong Qi, you’re just asking for a beating! I’m going to kill you today!"

"Sister, I’d advise you not to do that," Murong Qi said, the picture of arrogance. "You see how close I am with Sister Li? She really likes me now.

"Sister Li may be sharp-tongued, but she’s Miss Qin’s most favored aide!

"Miss Qin is extremely protective of her own. If you dare to hit me, Sister Li won’t let you off the hook."

Murong Xiaoyi was taken aback for a moment before retorting coldly, "Murong Qi, you’re exactly like that idiot Murong Tian—rotten to the core.

"Do you really think I’m afraid of that Li Qing? Forget her, even if Qin Shihua herself were standing right here, I wouldn’t show her any respect!

"You made trouble for my cousin, so I’m going to kill you!"

SWOOSH—

With that, Murong Xiaoyi’s fist flew toward Murong Qi’s head.

"Xiaoyi, stop." Luo Qingcheng pulled her back. "Calm down. The most important thing right now is to get Miss Qin’s illness cured.

"Haven’t you realized that Murong Qi is deliberately trying to provoke you?

"If you actually hit him, you’ll fall right into his trap. You must learn to be patient!"

"Cousin, I really want to kill him!" Murong Xiaoyi was on the verge of tears from anger.

If Murong Qi’s mother hadn’t seduced Murong Tian all those years ago, he wouldn’t have abandoned his wife and daughter. That was why Murong Xiaoyi despised Murong Qi to her very core.

Luo Qingcheng quickly tried to placate her. "Alright. I know you’re hot-tempered, but now isn’t the time to fight. Besides, I suspect Murong Qi has ill intentions toward us. When we go in, you must hold back and follow my lead."

"Murong Qi, thank you for the introduction for our family. My cousin and I will be going now."

With those words, Luo Qingcheng pulled her cousin into the elevator.

Watching their two stunning figures disappear, Murong Qi’s lips curled into a barely suppressible, victorious smile.

Chen Xiaobei, oh, Chen Xiaobei, ever since you humiliated me, my life has been worse than a dog’s. But I never expected that I would meet Li Qing, and through her, get to see Qin Shihua. Then, I secretly spread the Blood Poison Rash virus to her. Such a brilliant chain of schemes, Chen Xiaobei... I bet you could think until you die and never figure out that it was Zhong Mingxuan and I who did it. Although I couldn’t get rid of you this time, your woman, Luo Qingcheng, won’t be so lucky! Mwahahaha!

At this thought, Murong Qi felt like breaking into song to express his elation.

However, he wasn’t really in the mood to sing. The time he had arranged to meet Zhong Mingxuan was fast approaching, but the man hadn’t shown up yet.

According to their agreement, Elder Jiao had already been waiting at the hospital for some time. Zhong Mingxuan was supposed to personally bring him in for an introduction. Then, using the detoxification method provided by Gui Yunzi, he would cure Miss Qin’s illness.

This detoxification method was extremely cruel and painful. It required using a Secret Technique to transfer the toxic blood from Qin Shihua’s body to an innocent person—in other words, a complete blood exchange.

As for the innocent person, Murong Qi had already picked one: Luo Qingcheng.

The Luyang Qin Family was a top-tier, colossal family guarded by the Earthly Sect. No matter how formidable Chen Xiaobei was, he wouldn’t dare offend the Qin Family, right? When the time came, Chen Xiaobei could only watch helplessly as Luo Qingcheng died a slow, agonizing death!

The mere thought was incredibly thrilling!

Thinking of this, Murong Qi almost wet himself with excitement. He hurriedly dialed Zhong Mingxuan to urge him to get over here.

*"Sorry, the number you have dialed is not in service. Please try again later."*

The automated message played, leaving Murong Qi dumbfounded.

"Damn it! What the hell is Zhong Mingxuan doing? Why is his phone off?"

Just then, Elder Jiao, who had been hiding in the distance, stealthily approached him. "Young Master Qi," he said anxiously, "I’ve been waiting here for two hours. Aren’t we going in to treat Miss Qin yet?"

"Go in, my ass! Young Master Zhong isn’t here yet, so how can we go in?"

"Don’t forget, we had an agreement!"

Murong Qi scratched his head in frustration.

But Elder Jiao couldn’t be bothered with that. All he wanted was to use this opportunity to get revenge on Chen Xiaobei and curry favor with the behemoth that was the Qin Family.

He simply said, "Young Master Qi, the agreement is not important. What’s important is curing Miss Qin’s illness.

"Since Young Master Zhong isn’t coming, why don’t you just take me in?

"That way, all the credit will be ours. Isn’t that much better than splitting it three ways?"

"Is... is that a good idea?" Murong Qi hesitated.

"Why wouldn’t it be?" Elder Jiao pressed. "Besides, this isn’t your fault. Who told Young Master Zhong to turn off his phone and not show up?

"Young Master Qi, an opportunity like this won’t come again! 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

"If I recall correctly, didn’t Young Master Zhong set all this up just to win over Miss Qin?

"Miss Qin is a famous beauty in our Lower Three Continents. Why shouldn’t you, Young Master Qi, have her for yourself?

"Furthermore, if word of this ever got out, it would be a capital offense. Even if Zhong Mingxuan finds out later, he’ll just have to suffer in silence!"

"You’re right!" Murong Qi’s eyes lit up. "Elder Jiao, you’re right. No one would dare speak of this secret.

"Besides, if I really get together with Qin Shihua, I’ll be the Qin Family’s son-in-law. Zhong Mingxuan wouldn’t dare provoke me then, would he?"

"Absolutely!" Elder Jiao urged. "So, Young Master Qi, act now! This is a great future that heaven itself has delivered to you!"

"Alright, let’s do it!" Murong Qi decided on the spot.
