nWu Mei was the granddaughter-in-law that Grandpa Li had decided on. He had half forced Li Nanchen to marry Wu Mei and requested for this marriage to last for at least three years, unless Wu Mei was willing to get a divorce.

nLooking at her side profile, Li Nanchen did not understand how a woman could change her attitude so quickly.

nHe was about to say something when Li Nanchen suddenly heard his phone ring.

nWu Mei looked back and frowned when she saw the name on the screen.

n“Lin Piaopiao…”

nThat woman who kept seducing Li Nanchen and bullying the Host!

nShe clearly lusted after Li Nanchen, yet she always pretended to be pitiful and innocent. She was much more shameless than Wu Yi!

nWu Mei stared fixedly at Li Nanchen. Suddenly, she thought of something and approached him with a mischievous smile. With raised brows, she used her hand to tease his Adam’s apple as she said, “President Li really knows how to play around. You’re with your wife, but you’re going to talk on the phone with your mistress?”

n“Is she here to rush you to divorce me?”

n

n

nLi Nanchen looked at her deeply. He did not speak, nor did he pick up the call. The ringing eventually stopped on its own.

nWu Mei languidly pushed Li Nanchen away and fiddled with her hair.

n“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to disrupt you from picking up your call…”

nWu Mei didn’t look apologetic at all.

n“I just want to tell you that even if it’s a contract marriage, you can’t seduce other people and cheat on me.”

nIf word got out, wouldn’t she lose face?

nShe did not want the headlines of the newspapers and media to be filled with photos of her “being cheated on”!

nWu Mei brows knitted together as she thought of something and added, “Otherwise, I’ll also look for a paramour outside too!”

n“…” Li Nanchen narrowed his eyes dangerously and looked at Wu Mei.

nDoes she know what she’s talking about?

n“Ring, ring, ring…” Lin Piaopiao called again.

nWu Mei shrugged and turned to look out the window. “Do you need me to cover my ears?” she asked.

n“There’s no need. We’re not in the kind of relationship you think we are.”

nLi Nanchen took out a Black Card and placed it in her palm. He said, “Go and take a walk in the mall. The chauffeur will pick you up at night.”

nLooking at the credit card with no credit limit, she opened the car door without hesitation. She stood by the side of the road and waved at him through the window, sending him a provocative glance.

n“Remember what I said.” She swiped her thumb across her neck and mouthed the words to him before turning around and walking away in the opposite direction.

nLi Nanchen looked at her back view through the rearview mirror. He lowered the soundproof divider and asked, “How has grandpa’s health been recently?”

n“Pretty good,” the driver replied respectfully.

nShe added, “Ms Lin’s father has been treating Old Master Li.”

nLi Nanchen heaved a sigh of relief. He stared at Lin Piaopiao’s number and reluctantly called her back, “What’s the matter?”

n…

nOn the boulevard, falling flowers floated onto Wu Mei’s shoulders.

nLi Nanchen’s car disappeared from her sight. Wu Mei kicked two pieces of gravel and continued to stroll around.

nCasually pocketing the Black Card, Wu Mei bought a bottle of Coke and waited for the traffic light at the cross junction…

n“Eh? Why am I here?”

nShe looked up and was stunned when she saw the familiar storefront.

nThis was the bar she was at last night when she had just woken up!

nThinking about the drugged alcohol and the blonde, Wu Mei changed direction and headed straight for the bar.

nIn her memory, this bar was quite safe. Why was she targeted?

nThere must be something fishy going on.

nSince she had time, she did not mind finding out who was the person who wanted to harm her. Coincidentally, she was not in a good mood.

nKnock! Knock! Knock!

nWu Mei lifted her hand and knocked on the door.

nBehind the dark glass door, a few figures could be vaguely seen. However, it was not opening hours yet, so no one opened the door for her.

n

n

nWu Mei tilted her head and pondered for a moment. Then, she put the cola aside, rubbed her palm and loosened her joints. Then, she raised her leg and kicked the door!

nClang!

nThe door crashed to the ground.

nThe few service staff who were smoking behind the door were so frightened that their faces turned pale. “You, you, you, who are you…”

n“Where’s your boss? Get him to come out, I have something to ask him.”

nWu Mei picked up the cola and dusted herself off before swaggering in.

n“Stop, you can’t just enter…”

nThe attendant finally recalled that he had seen her last night. Just as he was about to stop her, he saw Wu Mei glaring at him coldly. He was so frightened that he dared not utter a word.

n“Where is the surveillance room?” Wu Mei asked.

nThe waiter was so frightened that he surrendered immediately and pointed to the darkness at the end of the corridor as he told her, “Second room on the left…”
