Chapter 25 Cooperation
Meng Zhu forced a smile, anxiously thinking about what to say to make people leave quickly. However, he didn't know that Du Yue had slipped into the shop while he was not paying attention and found Jiang Lin'er, a female cultivator who was trying on clothes.
"Ah! Who are you?"
"Shh, don't talk, do you want to know Meng Zhu's true face?"
“You, what are you talking about!?”
"Listen to me..."
Chen Lan dragged Meng Zhudong to chat about this and that, all they talked about were family matters and things related to Du Yue.
Under normal circumstances, Meng Zhu might be very happy, because he could just find out from Chen Lan the details of the Xianlai Sect's fortune, and maybe even get a piece of the pie.
But now is obviously not the right time. He was afraid that Lin'er would run into Chen Lan head-on after trying on clothes, and then it would be all over!
"Why do you keep looking back? What are you looking at?" Chen Lan suddenly asked.
At this time, Meng Zhu was standing on the right side of the clothing store door with his back to the shop. He was worried that Jiang Lin'er would suddenly come over after trying on clothes, so he looked back from time to time.
Chen Lan's voice stone has already moved, which means that Du Yue has already negotiated and she needs to sneak out now.
Of course, Meng Zhu couldn't turn around at this moment, but after Chen Lan asked this question, Meng Zhu, feeling guilty, immediately didn't dare to turn around again, "No, nothing."
Seeing Du Yue successfully slip out, Chen Lan exclaimed, "I just remembered that I forgot to buy something. I have to go look for it in the city. I'll take my leave now. Junior Brother Meng, please do as you please."
Meng Zhu had been waiting for her to say this, and was immediately overjoyed, "Yes, then Senior Sister Chen, take care."
Just as Chen Lan left, Jiang Lin'er's faint voice came from behind her, "Who... were you talking to just now?"
Meng Zhu was so scared that he almost jumped up. He turned around suddenly and saw Jiang Lin'er standing beside him, her eyes fixed on Chen Lan's back.
"Yes, there was a man passing by and asking for directions." Meng Zhu was sweating profusely, and forced a smile to change the subject, "Lin'er, have you tried on the clothes? How is it? Do you like it?"
"I didn't like it." Jiang Lin'er's expression was indifferent. "I couldn't find you when I came out. Why didn't you wait for me in the shop?"
"I just felt a little stuffy, so I came out to get some fresh air."
"Meng Zhu, you're not going to have someone else outside behind my back, are you?" Jiang Lin'er looked at him coldly.
"How, how is it possible! Why are you talking nonsense for no reason?" Meng Zhu frowned, looking angry, "Are you unhappy that I didn't wait for you? Then I will only wait for you in the shop from now on and won't come out. Is that okay?"
Jiang Lin'er stared at him for a while, then suddenly burst out laughing, "Huh, that's more like it."
Meng Zhu then breathed a sigh of relief.
"By the way, although I'm out today, I can't stay outside for too long. I have to go home in half an hour at most." Jiang Lin'er said, "There are important guests at home, I can't be rude."
"Half an hour?" Meng Zhu was shocked. "How could it be so fast?"
If not, how can I force you to get down to business instead of beating around the bush with me?
Thinking of what the woman in the shop had just told her, Jiang Lin'er felt furious and wanted to find Meng Zhu right away to ask for clarification, but fortunately she held back.
"Yeah, I have no choice. Why don't we find a place to have tea so that I can talk to you properly." Jiang Lin'er smiled.
Meng Zhu nodded and agreed.
Among all his women, Jiang Lin'er was the richest, but she also had the worst temper. She was moody and difficult to serve.
Moreover, her family is too prestigious, so my relationship with her can only be done secretly. It cannot be made public for her elders to know, otherwise they will want to kill me!
The two of them went to the teahouse and entered the side room. As soon as the door was closed, Meng Zhu hugged Jiang Lin'er in his arms and wanted to bend down and kiss her.
But Jiang Lin'er was obviously not in the mood today. She was eager to know the truth of the matter, so she just brushed it off and deliberately complained to Meng Zhu about the troubles in her own house.
How could Meng Zhu have the heart to listen to her talk about this? So after a while, he became impatient and couldn't wait to start complaining.
However, he did not notice that Jiang Lin'er, who was holding the teacup, lowered her eyes, with only disappointment and intense resentment in her eyes.
Outside the teahouse, Du Yue and the others were waiting anxiously.
"I don't know if that woman will believe me. If she asks Meng Zhu directly, wouldn't all my efforts be in vain?" Du Yue was a little worried.
"If she was an impulsive person, she probably wouldn't have waited until they got to the teahouse. She would have told Meng Zhu about it on the way." Chen Lan was calm.
Ji Qingqing hugged Mo Jiuwei and patted her gently with his right hand, "That's right, don't worry, we'll just wait."
[It will go smoothly. Jiang Lin'er has already tried it out.] Mo Jiuwei yawned slightly and thought to herself.
Du Yue and the other two couldn't help but feel happy.
[Meng Zhu is so bold that he even dares to offend a crazy woman like Jiang Lin. Tsk, he is finished.]
"Look, someone's coming out!"
Chen Lan said suddenly.
Meng Zhu and Jiang Lin'er had already left the teahouse. The two said goodbye to each other reluctantly at the door, and then Meng Zhu hurriedly walked towards the teleportation hall.
Jiang Lin'er stood there, waiting until his figure disappeared, then she looked around for something.
"I'm here." Du Yue came out. "He's so happy. Did you give him the crystal?"
Meng Zhu left with brisk steps and a big smile on his face, clearly a look of success.
Jiang Lin'er nodded, and was about to speak when she saw Mo Jiuwei in Ji Qingqing's arms.
The servant was shocked and asked, "Who is this child? Could she be you and Meng Zhu..."
"No, no, this child is our fellow sister." Du Yue explained quickly.
Jiang Lin'er finally let out a sigh of relief.
[I’m going to die, who is that bastard’s daughter! ]
【Ugly rejection! 】
Mo Jiuwei was very disgusted.
Du Yue wanted to laugh, but also felt lost.
Yes, Junior Sister Jiuwei could see that Meng Zhu was not a good man, but she was blinded before and only treated him as a treasure.
She even saved money just to give him the crystals. He probably didn't even know how to laugh at his own stupidity behind his back!
"Miss!"
A group of people ran quickly down the street, with fierce temperaments and the same swords.
Looking at these six people who suddenly appeared, Du Yue and the others were a little confused.
"These are..."
Jiang Liner explained, "This is my family's guard. Now that Meng Zhu has cheated the money, he will definitely go home immediately. Let's follow him."
The reason why she gave him the crystal was that she was no longer in the mood to catch other adulterers like Du Yue did to her.
If I don't give him the crystal, he might go find the next woman, or the next one. It's better to give it to him directly and see how he will deal with it when he returns.
