Chapter 291 - She Changed You, Mr. Yong

n

n

nBack in Nebuloud Corporation…

nYong Liwei was not able to follow Lu Mengjie all at once when he met Si Guanlin at the lobby. He narrowed his eyes at him before he decided to ignore him but as he did, the other man ended up approaching him instead.

n

"This is surprising, you're leaving so early today, Mr. Yong.

" He blocked his path.

nYong Liwei stopped in his tracks as he narrowed his eyes on him.

"What are you doing here, Si Guanlin?

"

n

"I'm here to discuss something with you, of course, but it seems like you're in a hurry.

" He crossed his arms as he heaved out a dissatisfied sigh.

n

"Yes, I'm in a hurry. I have important matters to handle,

" Yong Liwei spat icily.

n

"You mean, your wife?

" Si Guanlin smirk grew wider. He didn't even have to make an effort to hide their hostility between each other.

"I saw her leave earlier. I wanted to greet her but she looked like she was in a bad mood. What did you do? Did she perhaps… remembered what we did to her?

"

nNoticing the icy glare and the drop in temper, Si Guanlin raised his hands in the air in surrender.

"Spare my life, Mr. Yong. I didn't mean to offend you.

"

n

"If you have nothing else to say other than to make trouble, then scram,

" he sharply said before he turned his heels.

nSi Guanlin sighed.

"She changed you, Mr. Yong.

"

nOnce again, Yong Liwei halted from taking a step away.

n

"You were not like this back then. How can you let that woman get into your head? There are plenty of women that are better than her. You should not waste your time on a bitch-

"

nTo Si Guanlin's astonishment, Yong Liwei abruptly strangled him with one hand in front of everyone else. As seconds passed, the other man's grip around his neck tightened.

n

"Mr. Yong!

" Niu Jiachen panicked the moment he saw how the scene unfolded before him.

nNo one came to stop them because of the animosity coming from Yong Liwei. They were scared to approach him especially when he simply didn't care if they were in public.

n

"You can insult me but you are not allowed to insult my wife. Mengjie didn't change me. I decided to change in order to make things better for her. She had no say in the matter. The decision was mine alone to make.

" Yong Liwei glowered at the man before him.

nSi Guanlin's face was turning red to purple as his airway was blocked. He felt his throat burn and his eyes became watery.

"Y-Yong… Liwei…

" He struggled and tried to remove his grip around his neck.

n

"Si Guanlin, you better think twice before you try and hurt her again. You'll be dealing with me this time.

" He shoved him away as he released his grip.

nHe breathed in sharply before he coughed.

"A-Are you... crazy? Are you trying to… kill me in front of everyone else?

"

nYong Liwei's face remained cold as he shot him a deadly glare.

"Niu Jianchen.

"

n

"Y-yes, sir?

" He couldn't stop himself from stammering.

n

"Give everyone here a raise. Twice their pay. Make sure nothing comes out.

" After ordering his assistant, he walked past Si Guanlin.

nThe other man didn't stop him this time. While massaging his throat, the side of his lips were curled up into a sinister smile.

"My, my, guess he's in a bad mood too.

"

n...

nEntering the car, instead of heading to the airport, Yong Liwei told his driver to head to the Lu family residence.

nHe took out his phone from his pocket when he felt it vibrate. Upon seeing the contents of the email he received, his eyes darkened. He never felt so helpless until now.

n

"Turn the car around, I changed my mind,

" he ordered.

"I have a plane to catch.

"

nHis eyes were locked on the contents of the email. If he could crush his phone with his tight grip, he would already have. Throwing his phone on the side, he shut his eyes tight as he clenched his jaw.

"I'm sorry, Mengjie…

" he whispered through gritted teeth.

nYong Liwei was quiet for a few minutes before he opened his mouth and spoke,

"Guge (Skeleton), let me borrow your phone.

"

nSkeleton, who was driving the car, ended up blinking a few times in confusion. He didn't question why. It was already obvious enough that his Boss was in a bad mood so the only thing he could do was quietly obey him.

nAfter giving him the phone, Yong Liwei dialed Spider's contact.

n…

nLu Xian Yu's Mansion…

nLu Mengjie was sitting at the stool by the kitchen counter, eating the apple pie she found when she got home. While doing so, she was quietly watching her father, Lu Xian Yu, read a picture book to Little Peanut.

n

"So your husband is going to be a King, huh?

" Li Bingbing asked as she sat at the vacant stool beside her daughter.

n

"I guess… He planned on accepting uncle Han's offer,

" she replied before taking a sip from her glass of water.

n

"What changed your mind? Shouldn't you be dropping him off at the airport?

"

nFrom her conversation earlier with Yong Liwei, he told her that he would cancel his flight but… she wasn't entirely sure if he would. After what happened earlier, Lu Mengjie couldn't help but be mad and even doubt him still. What if he really was lying to her? Manipulating her?

n

"Madam.

"

nThe ladies turned towards the owner of the voice.

n

"There's a call for you,

" Spider said, rather politely. He was holding his phone, offering it to Lu Mengjie.

n

"A call for me?

" She was rather puzzled at that moment. She could clearly see that the phone that Spider was holding belonged to him, not her. The only person who would call her through Spider was most likely Yong Liwei.

nSeeing that she was going to decline, the man quickly opened his mouth and said,

"It's important.

"
