Chapter 28: Sometimes she has no choice
Meng Yuzhi would not force Chi Liuai in this regard.
We are willing, but she is not?
Sometimes she has no choice.
At home, Meng Yuzhi no longer smokes, and even the smell of cigarettes and alcohol from social events will dissipate in advance.
After all, whether Chi Liuai would give him a warm hug, the duration of the hug, and some touching words, these are all things that Meng Yuzhi needs to pay attention to.
But today is different.
"Liu'ai, do you know what you'll face if they catch you?" Meng Yuzhi checked the teeth marks he'd left. They were still there, but they hadn't left Chi Liu'ai with a deeper memory. "Those beasts in sheep's clothing will sneak you onto a ship full of rotten fish and shrimp, bypassing the police arrest warrant, and smuggling you to a small country where no one would dare to find you. Or maybe even to the US where Meng Ran is receiving medical treatment. If they see you then, they might point a still-hot gun barrel at your head and order you to humiliate Meng Ran by holding something useless in your mouth. You have to understand that not everyone in this world will be patient enough to listen to your excuses."
Meng Yuzhi looked at Chi Liuai, he was such a mess.
"But I'm sure that from the moment you stepped onto the ship, you should have said goodbye to your disobedient legs. You don't have to be sad. You should pray to God that you won't be able to survive until the ship stops."
Chi Liuai, whose worries were only about love and material things and who liked to beg Meng Yuzhi not to leave her alone, had never heard of these words.
Meng Yuzhi casually revealed some of the competition rules of that world, which made Chi Liuai cry heartbrokenly.
The frightened Chi Liuai nestled in Meng Yuzhi's arms, her heart still beating wildly.
Hearing Meng Yuzhi's words, she covered her heart in the dim light of the study, raised her tearful face and said, "You are always like this."
Meng Yuzhi heard the accusations, but he was used to it, so he refused to help Liu Ai wipe her tears, pat her shoulder, or give her some warmth as he did before. Liu Ai didn't need gifts, she needed some illogical and bottom-line-free care like Lin Zhun's.
But Meng Yuzhi always wanted to teach Chi Liuai a lesson. He threatened Chi Liuai very badly and was prepared to be hated by Chi Liuai.
He made a list of all the gifts that would be given as compensation in the future.
Just like Chi Liuai said, give her some money that is easily available and not important.
"Yeah." Meng Yuzhi didn't ask any further questions.
After recovering from his shock, Chi Liuai used the back of Meng Yuzhi's hand to wipe away his tears.
Chi Liuai's breathing was no longer so rapid. She wanted to clean her hair that was wet with her tears. Meng Yuzhi, who had been a little indifferent just now, now had a handkerchief in his hand. Chi Liuai avoided his hand.
Meng Yu's hand paused.
This time, Chi Liuai would not shamelessly use kisses and coquettishness to change the subject as she did before. After all, Meng Yuzhi's anger really scared her. Emotional control is a compulsory course for every husband. In Chi Liuai's eyes, she finally found the preparation to preach to Brother Yuzhi, just like she had to complete tedious homework under heavy academic pressure every day, and accept Brother Yuzhi's stress relief everywhere at home. At this time, she would also be taught a lesson by Brother Yuzhi for various reasons.
Chi Liuai is also going to teach Meng Yuzhi.
She pursed her lips, and her pink face showed a resentful expression of "How could you treat me like this?", making it impossible for Meng Yuzhi to ignore Chi Liuai's expression.
Being afraid of him, isn't this what Meng Yuzhi wants?
When the other party was about to stop, Chi Liuai raised his head and took the handkerchief on his own initiative, giving Meng Yuzhi a chance to apologize.
"Don't I understand you?" Chi Liuai said softly, "You're just afraid that others will bully me after they find out."
Meng Yuzhi stopped wiping Chi Liuai's tears.
"But, this doesn't mean that Brother Yuzhi can bully me in this way. You are bullying, sexually violent, and disrespecting me..."
Chi Liuai grew increasingly agitated, her words echoing the sentiment that Meng Yuzhi had gone too far. She was younger, less experienced, and even less mature mentally, acting like a child, relying on her mother for milk. How could such a Chi Liuai understand Meng Yuzhi's cold face and angry lectures? Even Meng's family and friends shied away from such a cold-blooded man. The slow-witted Chi Liuai, however, suddenly became clever and discerned something different.
She wanted to take this opportunity to be more aggressive and set rules for Meng Yuzhi.
Chi Liuai spoke, and Meng Yuzhi listened.
He would also considerately place the teacup against her dry lips and pat Chi Liuai's back so that she could breathe more easily and not faint from excitement.
If it weren't for Chi Liuai's pettiness, Meng Yuzhi wouldn't have known that he had made such a huge mistake in just a few months.
For example, when Chi Liuai asked to stop, Meng Yuzhi always disagreed with her.
Chi Liuai said that she didn't like using her hands, but Meng Yuzhi always forced her to play with her hands.
What bothered Chi Liuai the most was that she was afraid of the strange things Brother Yuzhi said.
She hoped that the two of them could establish a good physical contact routine: if Chi Liuai wanted it, Brother Yuzhi would help; if Chi Liuai didn't want it, Brother Yuzhi would leave.
It’s simple and very “fair”.
In the dim light, Chi Liuai looked at Meng Yuzhi's handsome face. He raised his head slightly and looked at himself, which was coated with a layer of golden light. It turned out that Brother Yuzhi was examining himself. He was not listening the whole time. Chi Liuai stopped talking.
Meng Yuzhi was helping the child straighten his collar when he heard the child's voice getting smaller and smaller.
He rubbed the girl's red lips with his fingertips.
"Liuai, what do you mean by bullying?" Meng Yuzhi imitated Chi Liuai's aggressive tone, "Then when you were sitting here these past few days, just focusing on yourself, were you also bullying Daddy?"
Meng Yuzhi's hand had reached Chi Liuai's neck, playing with a silver chain with an ingenious design.
This is a necklace that Chi Liuai specially made using the ring given by his brother, of course he kept it a secret from his brother Yuzhi.
Chi Liuai has so many jewelry, even she wouldn't care if there is one more or one less, let alone Meng Yuzhi who is busy with all kinds of affairs.
So Chi Liuai carried it with him with peace of mind.
Meng Yuzhi hooked out the necklace.
Meng Yuzhi once raised a child who was about the same age as Chi Liuai. He was a young boy who grew up in a greenhouse and was the only heir of the He family. At that time, Meng Yuzhi did not have that much patience, and ensuring that he did not lose his life was the biggest concession he would make.
But Liuai cannot be raised like this.
He taught Chi Liuai a lot. After Chi Liuai entered his life with a purpose and a naiveté, he chose to teach her a few things. He taught her to hold her skirt properly as a lady should. He would also make sure the girl was fully fed at dinner before directly reminding her of the rule of "no talking while eating, no talking while sleeping" to prevent a stingy child from resorting to hunger strikes and embarrassing him. Morning greetings were always accompanied by gifts and kisses, and Chi Liuai gradually learned to adjust her sleep schedule. But he didn't expect that while teaching her, he would also learn to unbutton her clothes...
If you think about it carefully, Chi Liuai is indeed a smart bad boy.
I just haven't learned to be defensive...
Meng Yuzhi made sure that the person on the other side could hear his words clearly.
Meng Yuzhi is almost done with this kind of micro eavesdropping device.
He asked Chi Liuai: "Who gave this to you?"
Nothing could be more terrifying than right now.
Chi Liuai didn't dare to look at Meng Yuzhi. She calmly hid the necklace in her collar and said that she bought it. She took the opportunity to point to the peach wood plaque on the table and said that this one was also hers.
She really did not lie to Meng Yuzhi. She had worn this peach wood pendant since she was a child to ensure safety, and then she passed it on to her brother.
Meng Yuzhi didn't say much, just smiled and put the peach wood plaque engraved with the blessing words back into Chi Liuai's palm. Chi Liuai's hand was in his palm again, being caressed.
Chi Liuai shrank back guiltily.
Meng Yuzhi clenched his fist and spoke softly, "Return the item to its original owner."
Seeing the girl's worry, An Sheng added.
"Don't worry, from tonight on, no one will dare to suspect you because of this wooden sign." Meng Yuzhi put Chi Liuai's hand to his lips and kissed it, "Be safe and sound."
Chi Liuai finally breathed a sigh of relief. She couldn't help but sigh inwardly that her acting skills were superb and her courage was commendable. It was just that Meng Yuzhi had let his guard down too much. In fact, she couldn't blame Brother Yuzhi for his negligence. Perhaps she was indeed a little smart.
In short, Meng Yuzhi no longer pursued the wooden sign or the necklace, which allowed Chi Liuai's high-speed brain to rest. Chi Liuai, in Meng Yuzhi's arms, suddenly asked: "Brother Yuzhi, what were those people on the phone doing just now? Who showed up?"
Just now, Meng Yuzhi answered a phone call and put it on the speakerphone.
Chi Liuai pricked up his ears alertly, stopped sobbing, and eavesdropped.
Meng Yuzhi lowered his eyes. That not-so-pretty ring was tainted with another man's dirty thoughts. Chi Liuai had even specially crafted a silver chain for it, which she wore by her side. At the moment Lin Zhun placed the ring in Chi Liuai's palm, the surveillance video on Meng Yuzhi's computer captured a mere two seconds of footage. She and it were tightly knit. Every day, Chi Liuai used her warm, soft flesh to warm the cold, cold ring. Meng Yuzhi was much more patient. He didn't mind helping Chi Liuai dig out the rotten flesh of her former life bit by bit. First, let the child realize the taste of rot.
He has a lot of patience.
But sometimes there would be less, just like Meng Yuzhi who would appear silently in Chi Liuai's room every night. He would not allow the man to fall asleep with the eavesdropping device next to the girl's strong heartbeat, and would return it in the morning before the girl woke up.
Chi Liuai felt that Meng Yuzhi's hand had loosened its grip, and the two of them pressed closer together.
Brother Yuzhi said gently, "He's probably an anxious person."
One month.
Chi Liuai never took a fighting class again.
Of course, he had never seen Lin Zhun, and there was no new fighting teacher to take over the job. It seemed that everything was determined to let Chi Liuai notice - Lin Zhun's disappearance.
Only then did she recover from the argument in the study a month ago.
An unprecedented quarrel broke out between Chi Liuai and Meng Yuzhi at home.
She insisted that Meng Yuzhi had killed her fighting teacher.
At this moment, in the private cinema, Chi Liuai was still watching the cruel scene in the Hong Kong drama "Police Story" where the boss lynched the righteous police. Chi Liuai cried even more miserably than the sound of the movie, as if Meng Yuzhi was the evil leader of the police story and her brother had died heroically.
Meng Yuzhi asked in return why.
Chi Liuai hesitated and said, "But I really want to take fighting lessons."
"I will choose a new teacher for you." Meng Yuzhi snorted coldly, thinking that Chi Liuai was not so eager even when she wanted to be intimate with him. This was the first time he saw her throwing this enthusiasm on unimportant classes and people. Meng Yuzhi would not tolerate rejection.
A gunshot rang out in the movie, and Chi Liuai's heart trembled. She turned to look at Meng Yuzhi.
"I want my old teacher."
At that time, Meng Yuzhi was adjusting his watch. The part near the wrist bone was close to the girl's teeth mark and was still very fresh.
Meng Yuzhi pressed the teeth marks, his face not quite calm. His collar was open, and it was hard to imagine how noisy Chi Liuai had been just now. At this moment, he was not much different from the gangster in the movie. When he met the girl's eyes that were frightened by the gunshot, he curled his lips.
Bang--
"It was done."
He imitated Chi Liuai's sad tone vividly and accurately.
Chi Liuai felt weak all over and started a cold war with Meng Yuzhi.
The next day.
It was a rare occasion for Chi Liuai to have dinner with Meng Yuzhi in the morning. The soft and sticky lotus seed porridge that had been stewed earlier was still steaming in the white porcelain bowl, surrounded by several authentic and exquisite desserts from Hong Kong. Chi Liuai had always had a poor appetite and only loved sweets. Usually Meng Yuzhi let her do what she wanted, but after a cavity started to ache, Chi Liuai no longer had the chance to eat sweets without restraint.
She lowered her head, and her fork poked at the piece of cake she had never seen before.
The shape is exquisite, very suitable for taking pictures, and the flavor is not common. Chi Liuai can even smell a hint of the sweet aroma of rice wine.
I originally wanted to leave and go on a hunger strike.
Liuai really couldn't bear to do it, so he held back.
"What's this."
Meng Yuzhi ate a little and put down his chopsticks: "Country cake with chestnut sweet wine."
It was a bit funny that Mr. Meng said such a sweet name in a serious manner, but in fact it contained a friendly meaning. Chi Liuai was determined to see his brother. His eyes did not leave the cake, but his lips were tightly pursed, refusing to say a word.
Meng Yuzhi sighed.
"Liu'ai, I hope you're not afraid of me. You know, some things are not..."
Chi Liuai suddenly looked up, biting her red lips with her white teeth, looking patient, and interrupted Meng Yuzhi's words.
Meng Yuzhi stopped talking and looked at her quietly.
The stool was deliberately dragged to the back, and the harsh sound made Meng Yuzhi frown. Chi Liuai picked up the cake. Meng Yuzhi hired an internationally renowned pastry chef to mix the recipe and make a cake that was in line with the traditional flavor of the dessert shops in Chi Liuai's living area in Haicheng. Now it was in Chi Liuai's hands.
She walked over to Meng Yuzhi.
Meng Yuzhi remained calm.
Chi Liuai gnashed his teeth and said viciously, "Don't talk while eating! Don't talk while sleeping!!!"
He walked away with the cake.
In the next few days, Chi Liuai couldn't even leave the main house without permission.
Meng Yuzhi's "house arrest" made Chi Liuai, whose life was originally just about eating, drinking and having fun, feel empty.
She called her brother, but no one answered.
I can't call the police.
In the emptiness, Chi Liuai looked at the male protagonist in the movie, glanced sideways, and played with the metal cigarette lighter in her hand. The first lady's cigarette in Chi Liuai's life was given to her by Cheng Xuewei. On the boat cruise, Chi Liuai silently looked at the star-like figures in the social circle, and was patted on the shoulder by Sister Xuewei.
A lady's cigarette, moistened by seawater vapor, was lit, and white mist slowly rose.
The aroma of mint filled my mouth, the slow flow of mist condensed into humid sea fog, and the roar of the racing track on the top deck of the ship filled my ears.
Chi Liuai said that she was the first girl who liked Mr. Meng.
I started a life that I could never have imagined.
But Chi Liuai, who was on the edge of society at the time, would be freer than Chi Liuai, who lived in Meng's house and was the center of attention.
She sneaked into Meng Yuzhi's bedroom and took away his cigarette lighter.
A metal lighter, imitating the male protagonist in the movie, click - the metal gear of the cigarette lighter slid and a blue flame came out.
Chi Liuai stretched out his fingertips and was burned. He withdrew his fingertip in pain and realized that he had made a stupid mistake.
How could you burn your hand with a lighter?
Chi Liuai didn't have any mint cigarettes on her, and she didn't dare to smoke.
But this lighter was her favorite toy to relieve her anxiety recently. After she struck it, no cigarette butts came out, which was very boring. At this time, Chi Liuai saw Meng Yuzhi being welcomed into the house through the swaying blue flame.
He came home from the night rain, walked through a landscape courtyard, and finally arrived.
With a few raindrops still on his body, Meng Yuzhi handed his coat to the servant and looked intently into Chi Liuai's eyes.
Meng Yuzhi, who had quit smoking, started smoking again.
At first, he saw through the girl's thoughts and asked her where his cigarette lighter was, holding a cigarette between his fingers.
Chi Liuai lit a cigarette for him.
This was the first time their relationship had eased. Over time, the relationship evolved from "Meng Yuzhi takes a cigarette, Chi Liuai lights it" to "Chi Liuai slides the cigarette lighter, the gears make a sound, and Meng Yuzhi would enjoy a cigarette he didn't crave."
Even the servants were a little worried, but Meng Yuzhi raised his hand and waved, saying, "Let the child decide."
The servant could only secretly persuade Chi Liuai: "Madam, smoking is bad for the master's health. In just a few days, he has smoked a month's supply of cigarettes. I heard that when people get older, the bad effects of smoking will show up in the lungs and can be fatal."
If Chi Liuai heard this, he would be scared to death.
She ordered more frequently, and Meng Yuzhi lazily raised his eyes to see her revengeful intentions, but he let her do what she wanted, and even stroked her head to thank her. Then, Chi Liuai would have some more exquisite jewelry on her body, which were all bought by Meng Yuzhi when he saw them everywhere outside. Chi Liuai didn't know that because of the man's behavior, her name outside had changed from "the kept mistress" to "Mrs. Meng".
Chi Liuai patted Meng Yuzhi's hand, his hair furry, and snorted coldly.
As a result, that night Chi Liuai accidentally burned his palm while playing with a lighter.
After the exclamation, the doctor rushed over overnight. Meng Yuzhi leaned at the door of her bedroom and watched the doctor treat the wound with a calm face.
From now on, no cigarettes or cigarette lighters are allowed in the house.
-----------------------
The author has something to say: Meng Yuzhi is really good at scaring children.
The difference between Lin Zhun and Meng Yuzhi is probably that of a kind father and a strict father hahahaha
I really want to write about He Jinze's appearance right away. If Lin Zhun can make Meng Yuzhi afraid and terrified, He Jinze will be the type who can unconsciously step on landmines and make Meng Yuzhi angry to death.
