When Qi Qinglin said the word "stepmother" with a smile on his face, Yuan Jingya knew that things would not be as simple as she had imagined.
The current result is three times worse than the worst case scenario she had imagined. According to what she had imagined before, the most she could do was to give up some of her interests through negotiations and show a little weakness to Qi Qinglin in order to bring Cong'er back.
After all, in her previous thoughts, although Qi Qinglin was already extremely powerful, he had a fatal flaw: pride.
This person was just like his biological mother, too proud in some ways. Because of her pride, they disdained to use some shady things to deal with her, and because of her pride, as long as she showed a little weakness and surrendered, she would be able to resolve most crises.
Yuan Jingya knew that this might be because that person was not very clear about what happened back then, but Yuan Jingya thought to herself complacently that it had been so long since what happened, so long that all the people who knew about it, whether they should have died or not, were dead. No matter how powerful Qi Qinglin was, it was absolutely impossible for him to know the previous incident clearly.
But now.
Yuan Jingya felt a chill run down her spine as she watched Qi Qinglin smile at her. Qi Qinglin was still proud, but he was less stubborn and cold, and more natural and tactful.
Looking at the young man next to her with a slightly raised smile, Yuan Jingya sighed and smiled bitterly. If this man was the destined partner that Qi Qinglin had been looking for, and Qi Qinglin had changed like this because of him, then she should have sent the top shadow assassin to kill this man from the beginning.
"Little mother? Please come in."
Qi Qinglin looked at Yuan Jingya's eyes and looked at Jin Yu, and a sharp light burst out of his eyes in an instant. Yuan Jingya's heart sank after seeing this, and just this one look was enough to explain everything.
However, even if she was going to suffer a heavy loss today, she would still gain something, right? Sometimes caring too much can become the biggest weakness, just like that woman back then!
Trying to straighten her neck, Yuan Jingya walked into the small villa proudly. Then Jin Yu raised an eyebrow at Qi Qinglin, and the two of them entered the house together.
And the second after they entered the house and closed the door, all the onlookers went wild! Oh my goodness, this time it’s a big deal! The unknown big boss who has been keeping the place in the No. 138 Exotic Beast and Cute Pet Shop is actually the eldest son of the Qilin clan among the top ten families? !
Oh my, I have only heard that the eldest son is missing, and saw the second son taking advantage of his power to bully and cause trouble everywhere. I wondered what it would be like if the eldest son was still here. Now, the eldest son shows up and kills that second-generation rich man in seconds!
This is not even on the same level!
"Hiss... Is the head of the Qilin family of this generation out of his mind? He has such a good heir but he doesn't want him, instead he praises that useless guy so highly?! Really, if the old head of the Qilin family had not been missing for more than a hundred years, how could he allow such a ridiculous thing to happen." A big shot who does business with several of the top ten families shook his head at the gate. With such magnanimity, I'm afraid even the eldest son and grandson of the Long family can't compare to him. The Qilin family is really out of control. If they had brought the person back earlier to maintain order, the Long family might not be ranked first among the top ten families.
"Hey, don't sigh. Look at the situation today, can't you guess it? I bet an A-level exotic beast that the eldest son will definitely become the next Qilin tribe leader at this Southern Trade Fair!" A big man wearing plaid trousers next to him chuckled twice: "If it were me, I wouldn't even wait for the Southern Trade Fair to be held. I would directly kill that troublesome guy here. Anyway, he is not a blood brother... Tsk tsk, Yuan Jingya has finally met his match this time."
These two bosses basically thought the same thing. If Qi Qinglin alone was taken advantage of by Yuan Jingya because he was too straightforward and not insidious enough, then if there was also Jin Yu, who was so insidious that the entire Dark Street bosses couldn't guard against him, then we can't say that victory was 100% certain, but at least, under normal circumstances, the outcome was already decided.
Thinking of the unpleasant past about the prehistoric whale and the big boss Qilin who teamed up to play tricks on people, the big guys lamented that it was not easy for them to survive to this day, and at the same time, with shining eyes, they asked their subordinates to get an admission ticket to the Southern Trade Fair.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime event that you absolutely cannot miss! Well, although many of their previous sessions felt that the open distribution of power was not as real as the division of territory when they played mahjong together, this time was different! In the past few days, Long Shao of Longmen Hotel often came to talk with that whale. The eldest son of the Jin family and the youngest lieutenant general of the military seemed to be discussing the matter of the Southern Conference. If the three before could only arouse the curiosity of some bigwigs, then what happened today and the revelations will definitely make all the bigwigs expect a fierce battle at the Southern Trade Conference! !
Damn, you’d be missing out if you don’t watch it!
So, because of what happened on the dark street today, this Southern Trade Fair became the most chaotic one in history... The reason, according to later unofficial history, was because of a prehistoric whale? Anyway, there is no detailed information to verify the situation at that time, which is one of the historical mysteries. But what is certain is that the scene was quite chaotic.
Of course, now the big guys in the dark street are all excited to use their connections to find admission tickets, and in that villa that seems beautiful, grand, gorgeous and warm to Jin Yu but is quite simple and narrow to Yuan Jingya, Qi Qinglin and Jin Yu sit side by side on the solid wooden chairs in the yard, looking at Qi Tiancong who was half buried alive and Yuan Jingya who was standing next to him with a dark face that could not be seen.
Oh, by the way, all the followers were knocked down and stunned the moment they entered the door. A-level monsters are more than enough to deal with hunters below level eight. Even if there are one or two above level eight, there are still A+ level ones... At worst, a certain red fire phoenix that has been pretending to be dead or like a sculpture since it came a few days ago can deal with it... Well, this thing has been rather irritable and manic recently, causing the temperature of the entire yard to rise a lot. Although the fire phoenix has tried its best to shrink its body, it still occupies a quarter of the yard, making the few auxiliary monsters that are farming quite angry, but dare not say a word!
Jin Yu was considering whether to kick it back to Earth and develop a new residence together with the group of struggling alien beasts. Before, this thing was guarding and shouting "Daddy, Daddy" like a phoenix that was filial to its father, but now that its father has regained consciousness, this thing is still looking at him with a resentful look of "You cheated me, you cheated me to death, you cheated my whole family, and my descendants". Damn, wasn't it that the first sentence your father said after waking up was not to call you, but to call Xiaoxue!
Damn it, what's wrong with Xiaoxue being my wife? I don't mind having her as my wife, and you still want to escape? ! Seriously, get out of here right now, I think Xiaoxue is much cuter than you, you deserve to be scolded by your father every day: You've slept in the same grass nest with someone, and you still want to be irresponsible? ! The Fire Phoenix clan will not be extinct because of you, I still have brothers! !
Ahem, actually, sleeping in a grass nest is mainly to take care of the black phoenix, who has to watch hail and fever for no reason from time to time. Well, but this misunderstanding is still very beautiful.
By the way, this Black Phoenix is an old monster who has lived for many years... He and his fellow villagers should be responsible. Well, he has a noble idea!
Turn back.
Jin Yu glanced at Huo Feng, who was still pretending to be dead, and then fixed his eyes on Yuan Jingya's face. The latter looked insulted and said hatefully, "What do you want to do to us, an orphan and a widow!"
...It was a dull silence.
Jin Yu looked around and coughed, "Um, is your husband really dead?"
Yuan Jingya gritted her teeth and said, "I'm talking about us, a pair of weak son and weak mother!!"
"...Well, I actually think that someone who can lead seven level 7 hunter bodyguards is definitely not weak." Jin Yu innocently said, "What's more, even if you look weak in combat, your combat capability is definitely at the boss level, right?"
"Like a boss that can only be fought after being angered through dialogue?"
Qi Qinglin suddenly said this. Then the yard suddenly became as quiet as if a strong wind had blown through.
"I've already told you not to think about beating the boss every day! The internet will be cut off tomorrow... Sell the items first."
So all the animals in the yard looked up at the sky in silence. The weather was good today and the sun was shining brightly.
Boom! !
A muffled thunder passed by.
All the beasts glared at Erhei. Damn, how can you not sabotage us?!
Erhei leaned towards Wangwang in grievance, and said, "Fuck you guys... I didn't attract any lightning, who told you to say the weather was good when it was clearly cloudy?"
“Qi, Qing, Lin!!”
Yuan Jingya, who was completely ignored and neglected, finally couldn't bear it anymore. She felt that this small and shabby villa in front of her was simply too strange! ! Not only did Qi Qinglin seem to have completely changed after being in there, why did even the expression and movements of the strange beast become so weird? !
Aren't the beasts supposed to stay still except when ordered by their masters? ! Why can the beasts here move around freely? And some of them can even eat whatever they want? (Especially referring to Baozi and Xiaobao, two foodies) Aren't the beasts supposed to be unable to eat if they don't complete their mission? ! Why is the owner of this shop so stupid? How can the beasts raised like this be obedient! !
Although Yuan Jingya couldn't understand this retro villa and the strange beasts inside, she didn't plan to say anything. It would be best if all these strange beasts rebelled and bit the boss to death! But now, she had to say something to break the deadlock. You know, from the time she was born until now, no one has ever ignored her like this! !
"Qi Qinglin. I am your elder. Is this how you treat your stepmother and brother?!"
Qi Qinglin, whose name was called, looked at Yuan Jingya expressionlessly, then glanced at Jin Yu who rolled his eyes beside him, and said lightly: "If I hadn't stopped you, stepmother, you might be buried in the ground like that loser."
His Jin Yu is not someone to be trifled with. In some ways, he is the hidden boss who looks weak but has incredible combat power.
"You! You've gone too far! How could Qing Yuan have such a sinister son like you?! Haven't you always been proud of your upright conduct? Now you've locked us up here, you're nothing but a villain!!"
Yuan Jingya suddenly cursed. She knew that doing so would provoke Qi Qinglin's anger, but it would be better to let this person get angry than to continue to wait passively like that. After irritating him, everything would become simple.
However, Yuan Jingya's wishful thinking, which had always been going smoothly, failed today.
Qi Qinglin was angry, but before he could get too angry, he was suppressed by Jin Yu's action.
...Don't let your imagination run wild. You can't kiss in front of outsiders.
Boss Jin slapped Qi Tiancong on the face, and then said to Yuan Jingya: "Madam, I didn't introduce you. This is the 138th beast gathering point. Please be careful in my territory, otherwise I can't guarantee where I will slap you next time. Or, those beasts will bite off your son's head and use it as a racket."
!!!
Jin Yu still had a friendly smile on his face and spoke in a very gentle tone, but to Yuan Jingya and Qi Tiancong it sounded like the sound of a ghost from the underworld. Their hair stood on end and their scalps went numb.
But the effect of Jin Yu's words didn't last long. To be more precise, he almost burst out laughing. The beasts definitely tried their best to cooperate with what Boss Jin said. So when Jin Yu said that this was a gathering place for ferocious beasts, Dabai Baozi, Wangwang Erhei, and even Xiaobai and other fighting beasts all acted very fierce and violent. Among them, a certain fire phoenix acted the most vividly... But, speaking of which, there are also auxiliary household beasts in the store. Can you imagine a group of little guys who are usually so cute that your heart tremble suddenly acted fiercely to prove that they are ferocious beasts? How cute is that scene? !
Damn it, you want to bite people with your incomplete baby teeth?! Can you lift your paws now? Will you fall down if you walk on three legs? And, you are a rabbit, do you think you can be scary just by sticking your ears up and staring?! The most outrageous one is Xiaobao, a naturally cute guy should not dream of being fierce, no matter how fierce he is, he will only laugh, okay?!
So facing this group of idiots, Boss Jin twitched his lips and felt powerless. Whatever, he was too lazy to play.
Qi Qinglin looked at Jin Yu staring at the cute animals led by Xiao Bao with a depressed look on his face, and couldn't help but raise his lips. His partner is really cute! Of course, if the big guys in the dark street heard this feeling, they would definitely roll their eyes collectively.
What is that called? Oh, that’s right! In the eyes of lovers, beauty is in the eyes of lovers, but in the eyes of ruthless people, zombies are in the eyes of lovers! In their eyes, that fish is definitely a zombie!
"Bring back as much stuff as you took out of Qi's house. Consider it as your redemption fee."
After looking at his partner, Qi Qinglin looked at Yuan Jingya and Qi Tiancong, and the more he looked at them, the more he disliked them.
"Ah! Are you kidding me? Why? That's mine! You stole half of my property and I didn't even bother with you, but now you want to take it all? Why don't you just die, ah——wuwu!!"
“Cong’er!!” Yuan Jingya screamed in shock as she saw Qi Tiancong’s mouth buried in the ground, with only his nose barely able to breathe. Then she turned around and said sternly, “Do you want to kill your brother?! Are you going to disobey the Qi family rules?!”
Qi Qinglin's expression remained unchanged after hearing this, "You are not allowed to kill your father, brother, or siblings? Madam Yuan, are you sure he is dead?"
Yuan Jingya's chest was heaving with anger when she heard this. She had been planning for the property for so many years, and this guy wanted to compete with her after just a short time? ! Fine, fine, if you want to fight, I'll give it to you! I'll see if you can bear this wealth in the end! ! Did he really think that she had been in the Qi family for decades for nothing? !
"Okay, I'll give it to you!!" We'll see!
"Hey, stop staring. We are recording the light and shadow. The truth comes from evidence, right? Ah, Madam, it seems that you just admitted to embezzling public funds from the Qi family to fill your personal coffers? Tsk tsk, is this unnecessary? Do you think the Qi family is not your family? Why are you so ungrateful?"
