A second chance with my billionaire husband

Chapter 1278 - 249: Scheming and Deep Manipulation (Part 2)

His smile was like a poppy, laced with poison, a poison beyond cure. Xiao Ling’er looked at him dazedly and suddenly smiled, "Even if you’re deadly poison, I would still swallow it without hesitation."

Yan Nangui found it dull, took a step back, "Honestly, I have no interest in this clingy sort of plaster. What I enjoy is the thrill of conquest. I’m sorry, but I can’t find any trace of that feeling in you."

Xiao Ling’er’s fists were clenched tightly under her sleeves, but the smile on her face remained unchanged, "Wildflowers are always more fragrant than garden ones. One day when you tire, you’ll know who in this world is truly able to accompany you to the end."

"That person could be anyone, but it certainly won’t be you." Yan Nangui couldn’t be bothered to talk to this whimsical woman any longer, lifted his foot to leave.

"Our families are already discussing our marriage. I will definitely be a good wife and mother." Xiao Ling’er suddenly said.

Yan Nangui paused in his step, let out a cold laugh, and left without turning back.

"Sis, did Yan Qi leave?" Xiao Bao’er came running over, breathing heavily.

"He’s your brother-in-law, give him some respect." Xiao Ling’er frowned as she looked at her.

"Oh, but you’re not married yet? I’ll change the name after you marry. Did he leave?" As she spoke, she craned her neck to look around behind her.

"He left." Xiao Ling’er didn’t feel like staying any longer either, turned to leave.

Xiao Bao’er quickly grabbed her, "Where are you going? The banquet isn’t over yet. Leaving now, what’s that about? Don’t let brother-in-law leave, you should persuade him to come back." With Yan Qi gone, how was she supposed to proceed with her plans? Xiao Bao’er had it all planned out, but who knew Meng Junci would have an incident during the horse race, disrupting the banquet’s rhythm. Everyone left, and she inwardly cursed Meng Junci, wishing it had been Ji Yunya who got into trouble, not letting her meticulous scheming go to waste.

Xiao Ling’er frowned at her, "Bao’er, what are you trying to do?"

Xiao Bao’er was afraid of revealing anything, quickly lowered her head, stammering, "What trying? I don’t mean anything. I just feel... it’s rare to have a chance to gather, and since you haven’t seen brother-in-law for so long, it’s a perfect opportunity to build your relationship. How could you just let it slip away?"

Xiao Ling’er laughed, "If it’s meant to be mine, no one can take it away. If it’s not, snatching it won’t work, Bao’er, do you understand this principle?"

"I don’t understand. I only know that you repay vengeance with vengeance and grudges with grudges."

Xiao Ling’er looked at her deeply, "Bao’er, tell your sister, is something wrong?"

Xiao Bao’er bit her lip.

Xiao Ling’er sighed, "I’m your sister. Since father’s incident, the only ones you can rely on are mom and me. Don’t hold any difficulty in your heart, speak out and we’ll solve it together."

"Wah..." Xiao Bao’er threw herself into her arms, crying bitterly.

"Sister, it’s all because of that Ji Yunya, I want to eat her flesh and drink her blood. You have to help me..."

Xiao Ling’er squinted her eyes, no wonder... Bao’er’s gaze at Ji Yunya was strange today.

Xiao Ling’er glanced around, noticed no one paying attention to them, put her arm around her shoulder and comforted gently, "Let’s leave here first and talk."

Meng Junci was sent to the hospital, and soon Lady Meng arrived, grabbed Meng Jungu’s hand and asked what had happened, how could someone perfectly fine end up in the hospital?

Lady Meng was rather emotional, Huo Chanyi comforted, "Auntie, don’t worry, Ah Ci will be alright."

"Tell me, how does something happen to an alright person? Tell me all the ins and outs." There was a gleam in Lady Meng’s eyes, appearing forceful and shrewd.

Huo Chanyi paused, "Auntie..."

"Lady Meng, actually, Miss Meng was just unlucky. She was horseback racing with Miss Ji, and she got into trouble, while Miss Ji remained unharmed. Ah, it truly makes one sigh infinitely, hoping she’ll be alright, otherwise a young girl..." Jiang Hanbi shook his head and sighed.

Lady Meng instantly caught the sensitive words, "Miss Ji? Which Miss Ji?"

Jiang Hanbi froze for a moment, realizing her words were slip-ups, quickly covered her mouth.

Huo Chanyi frowned at Jiang Hanbi; this woman was deliberately sowing discord—Ah Ci is in trouble, yet she still has the mind for such thoughts?

"Tell me, which Miss Ji is it?" Lady Meng persisted in questioning, instinctively feeling that Ah Ci’s incident was inseparable from this woman.

Jiang Hanbi shook her head, not daring to say more, "I didn’t mean anything else, Lady Meng, please don’t misunderstand..." But this ambiguous statement made it hard not to misunderstand, especially for the already anxious Lady Meng, who found this woman suspicious, turned her head with eyes as sharp as knives on Huo Chanyi, "You tell me, who is this Miss Ji?"
