Chapter 21 A Secret This is a place that loves to lie...

Chi Liuai was completely restless. Even though he had eaten too much at noon, he still felt like the food was stuck in his chest and throat, and he couldn't spit it out.

The private chef has served the dishes as instructed and asked Chi Liuai to have dinner first. Mr. Meng will not be eating at the host's house tonight, so there is no need to wait.

Brother Yuzhi must be having dinner with the bad guys in the Chi family. Chi Liuai could imagine that in a luxurious restaurant, Chi Cheng would be very excited to make up his own rumors. At this time, her father who loved to pretend to be sick for no reason would definitely cough twice, not to mention her sister, who would definitely act well-educated and polite.

Then such a good girl like her would definitely be described as a bad kid who grew up in a garbage dump, and even the drugging incident would be told to Brother Yuzhi.

She would be abandoned, she would be abandoned, and she hadn't even got the money yet.

"Brother Yuzhi, are you really not going to come back and accompany me?"

Chi Liuai looked at the bodyguard at the door.

The bodyguard remained unmoved.

"Well, then you can go and beg Brother Yuzhi to come back and stay with me, okay?"

They waited in the reception hall for nearly three hours and still refused to leave.

Finally, the waiters in front began to do their jobs, a long path was opened on both sides, and the door opened.

"Brother Meng." Chi Cheng feigned a smile and addressed him affectionately, his words beginning a little stiffly. "It's really important that you come here."

Chi Huaiyuan did not stand up. Because of his friendship with He Wanbai, he thought that Meng Yuzhi would give him some face. Moreover, he was the elder, so it was neither reasonable nor moral for him to stand up to greet Meng Yuzhi.

Meng Yuzhi did not respond to Chi Cheng's words, but just chuckled and sat in the main seat in front of Chi Huaiyuan.

"Mr. Chi, your father used to call Mr. Meng his uncle, but now in your generation, the generations are so confusing that it's hard to tell."

They were only worthy of listening to Chen Hui's teachings.

Chi Cheng cursed the lackey in his heart, then bowed politely with a forced smile and called out, "Mr. Meng."

Chi Baoyuan was smart, and was afraid to take a gamble with the mission. She stood beside Chi Huaiyuan, nodded slightly to the man in the main seat, and called softly: "Uncle Meng."

Meng Yuzhi's eyes narrowed.

This instant reaction gave Chi Cheng and Chi Baoyuan a sense of opportunity; even the hardest stone could be pried open by a beautiful woman. Especially after learning that Meng Yuzhi had a woman, the Chi family felt threatened. Chi Huaiyuan, even more so, quickly prepared a suicide note and notarized property documents. He then wept bitterly with He Wanbai, emphasizing that he hoped to see his daughter get married and start a family while he lived.

He Wanbai used her old tricks again, but Meng Yuzhi got hold of her. She didn't dare to pressure Meng Yuzhi into marriage, but only agreed to let the Chi family bring their daughter to meet him. She also asked Meng Yuzhi to investigate the property that the Chi family was managing on her behalf.

Whether it succeeds or not depends entirely on God’s will.

This call of "Uncle Meng" probably means there is hope.

Even Chi Cheng changed his words directly. The two siblings of the Chi family kept calling him Uncle Meng. Even Chen Hui felt a little embarrassed. This brainless personality was really similar to the same person, but also not the same.

These two concealed their ambitions, revealing their shrewd calculations everywhere, and their words were nothing but flattery and seeking public praise. Chi Liuai was different. She was always around Mr. Meng and called him a good brother.

It can be heard that Chi Liuai doesn't want to work hard for a single day.

All the sweet words are sincere for money, and they are unwilling to suffer any grievance.

In the past few days, even Chen Hui, who had not yet followed Meng Yuzhi closely, heard a lot of love words.

"Brother Yuzhi, I'm so happy. Thank you for making me so happy."

"Brother, can you kiss me?"

"Brother Yuzhi, I don't really care whether this thing exists or not, but if you're willing to buy me a lot, I'll love you even more."

Not to mention how much Mr. Meng, who was always obsessed with Chi Liuai, heard.

Although the two of them had only been together for a short time, they felt as familiar as if they had known each other for a lifetime. Chen Hui summarized the reason as follows - Chi Liuai was too clingy, a clingy habit that was unhealthy and unusual for ordinary people.

Fortunately, Mr. Meng is very composed. Although he bought her what she needed and coaxed her as needed, he did it for the peace of the family.

Chen Hui also didn't understand why marrying Chi Liuai would bring stability to the family, because Chi Liuai didn't look like someone who would cause less trouble.

Yu's brother.

Uncle Meng?

uncle.

When Chi Liuai's brother and sister uttered this name, Meng Yuzhi, who usually only had work and power in his mind, couldn't help but imagine the girl calling him "brother" in a shameless manner.

Indeed, according to seniority, the younger generations of the Chi family should call him uncle, including Chi Liuai.

Meng Yuzhi sighed softly in his heart, as if Chi Liuai had taken advantage of his "brother" again in the past few days.

A little liar who loves to act like a spoiled child, tell lies and act like a spoiled brat, was discovered by him to have the shortcoming of being petty-minded.

Do you want to go back and correct this name?

It was a trivial issue, but Meng Yuzhi seemed to have grabbed the kitten's tail, as if he could hear the kitten say with just a slight tug: "I apologize, I apologize, Brother Yuzhi, I will never call you Brother Yuzhi again, Uncle Meng, little uncle, okay?"

Suddenly, a burst of hurried footsteps approached. Chi Baoyuan paused mid-sentence. The person who came was the Meng family's bodyguard. He didn't even take them seriously. Without announcing anything, he came to Meng Yuzhi's side after a short knock on the door and spoke sideways.

"Is Mr. Meng going back to eat?"

Chen Hui responded on behalf of Meng Yuzhi and did not reply.

The bodyguard asked again.

"Mr. Meng, are you going back to rest tonight?"

Chen Hui: "Let's see."

Meng Yuzhi gave the bodyguard a deep look and told him to speak quickly if he had anything to say. He never liked beating around the bush.

The tall, burly man blushed at the words he was about to say. But out of concern that Miss Chi would burst into tears while facing a table full of food, he still spoke each word in a straight and clear manner.

"Mr. Meng. The young lady said that if you go back now, she would let you kiss her."

Chi Baoyuan looked embarrassed. She thought about whether to bring up the subject again later, but then she felt that it was unnecessary.

She found that Mr. Meng had never listened to her carefully from beginning to end.

Meng Yuzhi just said "no reply" and then raised his eyebrows to signal her to continue.

Chi Baoyuan began to arrange the fate of the family property on behalf of his father, which was also a way to show off his housekeeping skills.

Suddenly, Meng Yuzhi asked, "Where is she?"

The property inherited by Chi Cheng and Chi Baoyuan and the rights to the Meng family's business dealings took up dozens of pages of documents, but when it came to Chi Liuai, there were only two lines of words.

Chi Baoyuan was startled, and Chi Cheng was also surprised. Then they realized that Mr. Meng was asking about Chi Liuai's inheritance.

"She's still young, so this money is enough for her to live on." Chi Cheng added: "Actually, there's another reason. My sister has bad intentions. When she was eighteen..."

Due to old age, the skin at the corners of Chi Huaiyuan's eyes drooped slightly, and his inverted triangle eyes showed calculation all the time. Chi Huaiyuan glanced at the bodyguards who refused to leave. More or less, several people also heard that someone in the Meng family seemed to be anxious for Mr. Meng to go back for dinner.

It definitely wasn’t an elder. In the Meng family, no one except He Wanbai would dare to urge Meng Yuzhi.

It sounds more like a woman. Which little vixen is secretly planning a marriage with the Meng family while keeping the Chi family from noticing?

Everyone in the circle knows that Chi Huaiyuan saved He Wanbai's life, so this marriage can only fall on the Chi family.

Looking at how clingy he is, it's no wonder Mr. Meng is reluctant to go back. I don't know how his family educated him to keep an eye on other people's marriages.

He wanted to take this opportunity to immediately push the pair of children he had raised for many years in front of Mr. Meng.

Continue the Chi family business!

Mr. Meng is gone.

After a while, there was finally a sound in the quiet back hall.

Chi Cheng: "What did that stuttering bodyguard of the Meng family say???"

"What can I say! Just call the little vixen back!!!"

Chi Baoyuan jumped up and rushed out. She was a little fed up with being sold like a commodity in front of wealthy ladies and children from aristocratic families. The Chi family was making preparations with both hands. Chi Baoyuan didn't know how many people she had met and how many times she had shown her well-prepared attitude, but she was always either treated coldly or laughed at.

"Baoyuan, wait a minute!" Chi Cheng pulled Chi Baoyuan's hand, and the two argued in the dim corridor.

"I've been waiting for a long time, brother. You've said this to me many times!" Chi Baoyuan's wrist was pulled and her cell phone fell to the ground unexpectedly. Chi Cheng picked it up for her and knocked on the broken screen of the phone, but there was no response.

"Did you hear what Mr. Meng said tonight when he asked Father Chi Liuai about his share of the inheritance?"

Chi Baoyuan looked at Chi Cheng puzzledly.

Chi Cheng's eyes locked Chi Baoyuan in a corner, and her emotions were also tightly shrouded in the next words: "Mr. Meng asked, 'Where is she?'"

Both of them felt calm.

"What's the meaning?"

"What could it mean? Chi Liuai has been flirting with Mr. Meng before, otherwise why would Mr. Meng buy her paintings and even specifically ask about her share of the inheritance? Don't you know what kind of person she is? You have to get this marriage before she does, otherwise we will suffer in the future."

"To be honest, Chi Liuai must be slandering us, otherwise why would Mr. Meng be so disrespectful? He was once willing to pay three million to film your work, don't forget."

"Then why isn't she hooking up now?"

Chi Cheng said confidently, "She must have been driven away! What man could stand this living ancestor?"

Seeing that Chi Baoyuan still looked confused, Chi Cheng sighed helplessly and told her to go back and think about it carefully.

Before leaving, he said, "Your phone is broken. It will take an afternoon to recover the data. Buy a new one tomorrow." Then he put the phone in his pocket.

Chi Cheng must be slandering her.

Chi Baoyuan must be saying bad things about her.

Chi Huaiyuan must be sighing and pretending to be weak as usual.

Chi Liuai was crying in the bedroom, but she couldn't cry too much. She looked at herself in the mirror with sobs and patted her chest to comfort herself. She couldn't cry, she couldn't cry. She was so beautiful and couldn't let herself become even a little ugly. Such a beautiful face couldn't shed a tear because of a man.

Especially when she sensed the crisis of losing her luxurious life, Chi Liuai's little face was filled with all the bottles and jars of skin care products. Her tears were the most useless thing.

Her smile can be exchanged for money, but her tears can only be exchanged for more tears.

The bodyguard told me that Meng Ran was punished by Meng Yu for giving him sleeping pills, and he is now recuperating at home.

Just when he was gloating for a moment, he suddenly thought that the immoral things he had done might become the topic of conversation among the Chi family and Brother Yuzhi at the dinner table, and Chi Liuai started crying again.

It’s not that she was really sad.

While waiting for Meng Yuzhi to come home, her cries were accompanied by thunder. She put on all her accessories and clothes, stood in front of the mirror, and combed her fluffy black hair. Chi Liuai never dyed or permed her hair. She had regular professional care every week, with bottles and jars, rubbing and kneading. Chi Liuai was completely swallowed up by this quiet and peaceful life, and she had no patience to tolerate the frizziness of her hair ends.

With a sudden force of his hand, the comb wrapped around the hair that had been pulled out, making it black and shiny.

The comb slipped stiffly from Liu'ai's hand.

After a long time, Chi Liuai took a deep breath. The tingling in her scalp suddenly made her forget the sourness that was squeezing her chest. She pressed her face against the soft bedding and slowly fell into a deep sleep.

boom--

Her hair was stuck to the tear marks at the corners of her eyes. Chi Liuai couldn't lift her hands. Her consciousness and body trembled along with the thunder.

Chi Liuai was not afraid of thunder and rain, but when he was young, he lived in a tin house, a temporary residence illegally converted from an exposed parking garage of a demolished household. The four walls were painted, and a few pieces of blue tin sheets discarded from the construction site were simply welded together to become a rental house for 200 yuan a month.

What she was more afraid of was that thunder and rain would leave her without a place to live. After all, it would be very troublesome to wade through water to catch rainwater, although Lin Jun had never asked her to do such a thing.

The bed was not wet, so I lay down on it and slept.

The bed was wet, so I slept in my brother's arms.

She loved to feel with her hazy eyes, watching her brother's toiling back, watching her brother waving his arms. Her hot face was pressed against the quilt that was no longer damp and cool. The sound of thunder and rain hitting the iron sheets was no longer in her ears, but slow and steady footsteps from the stairs to the bedroom door, pausing for a long time, and then there was a polite knock on the door three times.

The sound is so soft.

Iron the sharp center line of your suit pants.

Leather gloves.

Metal watch.

belt.

A rapid pumping sound passed through the air.

"Mr. Meng has never shown mercy to family members who knowingly break the law. For example, Young Master Meng Ran was caned for one day under family rules and has been recovering from his injuries for several months."

Caning, family law.

Whip, whip, whip, whip.

belt.

She seemed to realize that she wasn't...an obedient child either.

During the initial stages of their relationship, Meng Yuzhi noticed the girl's poor sleep habits from the dark circles under her eyes. So, the housekeeper created a reasonable schedule for her, the first of which was that Chi Liuai must be in bed before 10:00 every day.

At the same time, the door of Chi Liuai's bedroom cannot be locked.

Meng Yuzhi still opened the door with his fingerprint.

Even if a disobedient girl tries to cover up her behavior by being well-behaved and sensible, she will still secretly roll her eyes, make faces, and curse at you behind your back.

Chi Liuai had never followed this rule.

The night rain has stopped, and lush green plants are swaying outside the window. The fresh air with a hint of earthy rust fills Chi Liuai's spacious house.

Even though the room was so crowded, she placed all her belongings in the room. Meng Yuzhi recalled the loose hair hanging around the girl's waist as she placed her belongings, shining golden in the rare sunshine.

It was so crowded, her body was pressed tightly against the corner of the wall, and it was like the curled-up appearance of a baby in pregnancy. Meng Yuzhi loosened the knot of the tie that the girl had tied for him and took a step forward.

It was obviously so crowded, but he felt that Chi Liuai had forgotten something and there was a lot missing here.

By the way, they two have separate rooms.

The girl sobbed in her sleep.

Meng Yuzhi, who had just returned from the family dinner, gathered the girl's nightgown to cover her exposed white legs.

He lowered his eyes.

Bending down, he placed his large hand on the girl's sweaty forehead, slowly caressing her eyebrows, nose, and red lips...

This is a place that loves to lie.

The girl seemed to have had a nightmare, and there were still traces of tears on her clean face. Feeling the warm palm, the unconscious Chi Liuai pressed against it comfortably and rubbed it.

The night was quiet, and Meng Yuzhi heard her whispering.

"Don't leave me alone."

The girl's breathing gradually stabilized. Meng Yuzhi thought about it and decided to let the poor little girl go.

The cell phone slipped between the quilts. Meng Yuzhi picked it up and paused.

Chi Liuai's phone screensaver was the intimate photo of the two of them in Hangzhou. This was the first reward Meng Yuzhi gave her, giving her a bargaining chip to show off and flaunt her power.

A pop-up window popped up with "threats and inducements" from the Chi family's lawyers.

If she continued to persist, the Chi family would no longer support her, and Chi Liuai would lose her inheritance rights and be kicked out of the house.

Meng Yuzhi's finger hovered above the screen, his dark eyes darkening.

Chi Liuai received sixty-eight strange text messages this month.

Sixty-seven of these are:

[Don't marry him, don't marry him, don't marry him, don't marry him, don't marry him...]

Of course, there is another one: [Let’s go with my brother.]

Chi Liuai has no habit of reading text messages. He never accepts messages on his mobile phone because he is too busy playing. The person on the other end seems to know this little problem of Chi Liuai very well, so he sends messages one after another without restraint.

Meng Yuzhi deleted the text message and untied his watch.

good.
