Chapter 9 Bar Incident

"Xue'er, this is a good idea. I'll go and make the arrangements in a bit!"

Long Tingwei nodded in agreement, feeling that things couldn't be dragged on any longer; that woman was just taking advantage of her grandfather's favor to cause trouble outside.

While sending Grandpa on vacation, it would be best to get a divorce from that woman and then get a marriage certificate with Xue'er.

Long Tingwei was decisive and efficient. In no time, he booked two plane tickets to foreign countries, one for the old man and the other for the butler, Uncle Ming.

The Long family owns companies all over the country, and even has assets overseas. Long Tingwei sent his grandfather away because the overseas business had encountered some setbacks, and he hoped that his grandfather could go and help take care of it.

Old Master Long didn't want to go, but Long Tingwei coaxed him, saying that he would bring Jian Mujin along in a few days.

The old man understood. It must have been something that Tingwei's girlfriend said to him after leaving the Long family, which was why she wanted to get rid of him. How could Tingwei not see through such a scheming woman?

But his anxiety was useless. He just kept calling Long Tingwei, telling him that if this was that woman's idea, then he should stop bothering him, because that woman was no better than Dan'er. He also said he wouldn't go abroad unless he went alone.

Long Tingwei knew the old man was unwilling. He knew the woman needed money, so he wanted to stay and help her.

How could this possibly faze Long Tingwei? He took advantage of the old man's sleep and immediately had him put on a plane, and even asked Uncle Ming to go with him to take care of the old man.

When Old Master Long woke up, he was furious. He immediately called Long Tingwei and told him that Jian Mujin had suffered a lot for him and that he must treat her well. If he didn't like her, he should wait for him to come back before getting a divorce.

Although it was a threat, the old man finally relented, and Long Tingwei breathed a long sigh of relief. However, he would definitely divorce her before the old man returned, who knew what changes might occur after he came back.

When Ling Yuexue was told about this, she was very happy. Go abroad to accompany the old man? No, she would not go at all, but she would send someone else to give him a big gift!

"Xue'er, wait for me!" Long Tingwei looked at her affectionately, then lowered his head and gently touched her forehead with his thin lips.

"I have some things to take care of at the company, I'll go check on them first. You've had a tough day, go have some fun and relax!"

"Um!"

Ling Yuexue didn't cling to her; she had something to discuss with Brother Hua.

"However, Tingwei, Mujin can't do anything to me now. Why don't you remove the bodyguards? You don't know, when I go out, people keep watching me, which makes me very uncomfortable!"

Long Tingwei chuckled, "Silly girl, they're just jealous and envious of you. And you're still feeling uncomfortable? Fine, I'll have them all come back!"

After Long Tingwei left, he indeed withdrew his bodyguards, and Ling Yuexue felt a sense of relief. She then called Brother Hua.

"Hey, Hua-ge, the old man doesn't agree to me joining the Long family. Now Tingwei has already sent the old man abroad. What do you think we should do?"

"You want me to go with you and become an old man, right? That requires money. Even if you have money, it won't work. If you want me to go with you, you have to sleep with me for one night!"

Ling Yuexue gritted her teeth. She loathed Hua Ge's insatiable nature. In just a few months of following Long Tingwei, he had asked her for nearly tens of millions of yuan.

He always finds different reasons to ask Tingwei for money, and there's no guarantee that Tingwei won't find out one day.

No, after the old man's matter is resolved, she must find a way to get rid of Brother Hua as well.

With only the useless Jian Mujin to deal with, her dream of becoming Mrs. Long will surely go smoothly in the future.

Ling Yuexue took a taxi to Hua Ge's place, and by the time she came out, it was already dark.

Ling Yuexue dragged her tired body home to sleep.

Unexpectedly, Ling Yuexue saw Jian Mujin again while passing by a bar.

What kind of fate do I have with this woman? I can run into her just by walking around. Well, if we weren't destined to be together, how could I possibly become Mrs. Long in her place?

Ling Yuexue entered the bar, supporting her aching back.

"Hey, let me tell you, Long Tingwei is my husband, do you believe me or not?"

Jian Mujin was clearly drunk; her cheeks were flushed and her eyes were glazed, but one could still tell that she was somewhat sober.

Today she was wearing a lot of jewelry, which looked absolutely tacky! Moreover, the jewelry didn't look expensive at all; it was probably something she'd picked up from a street stall.

Ling Yuexue said that since this woman had no source of income, how could she possibly wear any high-end jewelry? But even if she had money, a woman like her who didn't know how to dress wouldn't be able to present herself very well.

The others beside her were her companions who had been with her that day, preparing to capture her. At this moment, they were all trying to persuade her.

"Egg, please stop drinking! You're already talking nonsense. It's fine to just vent your mouth a little, but if you drink too much, you'll get a headache. Last time you drank too much, you screamed like a banshee and scared us all night long. Don't make us suffer!"

"I'm fine, I didn't drink too much, everything I said is true. It's my birthday today, I'm so happy! Look, this is a keychain my husband Long Tingwei bought for me, isn't it pretty?"

Jian Mujin carefully took out the keychain and kept rubbing it against her face.

The shrill laughter went unanswered, but a stylishly dressed, glamorous woman walked over with a cold snort.

"You just said your husband is Long Tingwei? I say you're talking big without even looking in the mirror. Look at the scars on your neck and hands. Do you think the young master of the Long family would even look at you?"

"Look at your clothes and appearance, you don't look like Mrs. Long at all. And all that jewelry you're wearing, how much did it cost?"

When Jian Mujin heard someone questioning her, she wasn't annoyed. She shook off her jewelry and said proudly, "I bought it for twenty yuan at a street stall on Renzi Street!"

Her words immediately amused everyone around her, their faces filled with mockery. "Mrs. Long, indeed! She can't even afford expensive jewelry, yet she has the nerve to call herself Mrs. Long!"

Ling Yuexue had already sent the video to Long Tingwei, saying in a worried tone, "Tingwei, come quickly, Mujin is drunk!"

Long Tingwei watched the video, only frowned slightly, showing no concern for Jian Mujin. Instead, he said somewhat unhappily, "Why did you go to a place like that? Come out now!"

Ling Yuexue texted her, "Mu Jin is drunk. I'm worried about her, so I wanted to take her home, but she's talking nonsense, and the people at the bar don't seem very friendly!"

Ling Yuexue knew that Long Tingwei was angry, but she wasn't worried. With Jian Mujin as her foil, Long Tingwei would only feel that he was a hundred times, ten thousand times better than her.
