"It's not like Li Baichuan is interested in you. If they were interested, we would be the ones to scheme against them."
Yu Qingfeng realized for the first time that the person in front of him seemed to have no brains.
"What do you mean? You want me to scheme against Qi Bowen?" In Meng Yixuan's mind, Li Baichuan was a country bumpkin.
She felt an innate sense of superiority over him, but Qi Bowen was different; they had worked in the same department for so long.
She had seen how arrogant he was, and she knew deep down that she couldn't handle someone like that.
Not to mention, in her opinion, Qi Bowen could never compare to her own son.
He himself needs to find a capable wife to solidify his position, so she sees even less hope in him.
"You don't understand. We now have another way out. We'll see who can take down the Li family and then we'll scheme against them."
Looking at her flustered expression, Yu Qingfeng realized that she seemed more afraid of the Li family's former mistress than of scheming against Li Baichuan.
Could it be that the other person is even more powerful? Li Baichuan is already difficult enough to deal with, but Yu Qingfeng dares not even think about someone more powerful than him.
"You don't know, that man married a woman from a high-class family in order to come back. If I try to scheme against him, he will definitely kill me."
"He's still counting on his wife, how could he dare to betray her? He's different from Li Baichuan. Li Baichuan's position in Beijing is unstable, and he has no clue what to do."
“But Qi Bowen is different. I know what kind of person he is. We dare to scheme against him. If he doesn’t want to, he will definitely cripple us.”
Meng Yixuan felt that Yu Qingfeng's method was unreliable, saying that one was his biological son and the other was not, and there must be a difference between them.
Now that Suti has given birth to two more children, she definitely holds a place on the old marshal's side, and she doesn't think Li Baichuan can't compete with Qi Bowen.
"I just want us to have another way out. You can't be so timid and afraid of trouble. Aren't you saying all this just because you want to place all your hopes on Li Baichuan?"
After hearing what she said, Yu Qingfeng was also unsure of himself. If Qi Bowen could frighten her so much, he must be a ruthless person.
Even if they've outmaneuvered him, he might not even wait to negotiate with them; he could just wipe them out first and be done with it.
Now that she said that, I'm a little worried. What if Li Baichuan also makes up his mind?
He's a coward, but what if the Li family behind him intervenes? They could probably take care of them secretly without anyone noticing.
"Let me find out the truth first. We've both overlooked something. You're afraid of that guy surnamed Qi, but have you thought about Li Baichuan?"
"According to you, he's not having an easy time either. If something were to happen at this time, he might fight to the death."
"If our plan fails, that's one thing, but I'm afraid we'll lose our lives in the end." Yu Qingfeng became more and more frightened as he spoke.
"Then... then what do you suggest we do?" Meng Yixuan trembled at his words.
"I'll go find out more first, and also try to find that guy surnamed Qi to see what's going on with him."
“If only we could cooperate. He’s thinking of going back to the Li family. We can help him, and eventually get close to him. We can get what we want just the same. Why bother scheming?”
"Think about it, one of us works in the same unit as Li Baichuan, and the other works in the same unit as Li Baichuan's wife. Being close to him, we can definitely work together to get what he wants."
“We can talk to him about this. If he’s willing, we won’t have to go through the trouble of scheming against others, and there’s no risk involved.”
Yu Qingfeng thought his method was very good.
"This is good for you, but what's in it for me? What I want is to join the Li family and become the mistress of the Li family."
What good will it do me to help him secure his position? Is he going to marry me?
Meng Yixuan wasn't stupid. She felt that Yu Qingfeng wanted to leave her behind and go it alone, so she shouldn't have told him the news.
“You can talk to him again. What if he’s willing to keep you as a mistress? Or you can use the Li family’s influence to get him to introduce you to a suitable partner. You can still live a life of luxury.”
Yu Qingfeng continued to persuade him, believing that this method was the best and had no risks.
"No, I don't want to." Meng Yixuan thought of Qi Bowen, who used to frequent dark alleys and was the kind of person who wouldn't care about women at all.
Even if she helps him and he agrees to keep her outside, he will quickly forget her and won't care even if she has a child.
There's also a woman that Su Ti can say is formidable. Qi Bowen's wife is no ordinary woman.
If she knew, she definitely wouldn't tolerate her either. And to be honest, she doesn't like Qi Bowen; he's far less attractive than Li Baichuan.
She likes men with presence who can protect her and make her feel strong and supportive when they stand beside her.
She had seen how he treated Suti, and the love in his eyes had captivated her. How she wished she were Suti!
Unlike Qi Bowen, who enjoys being fawned over and finds pleasure in playing with women all day long.
"Whatever. If you don't listen to me, then you'll have to figure it out yourself." Yu Qingfeng felt that Meng Yixuan had been very disobedient lately.
She argues with him all the time; he's not discussing things with her, he's informing her.
The two parted on bad terms, and Yu Qingfeng thought that if he ignored her for a while, she would come back to him.
The most important thing now is to find out where Qi Bowen is and how to contact him.
Meng Yixuan returned home furious. As soon as she arrived at the door, her father threw a cup at her, hitting her directly on the head.
"Where have you been so late? And you, I told you to control her, is this how you control her? Coming home so late every day, where have you been gallivanting around?"
Mr. Meng tapped the table, startling Mrs. Meng, who was about to go over to see her daughter, so much so that she dared not move.
"Dad, how can you talk to your daughter like that? What do you mean I went out to fool around? I went out to do something." Meng Yixuan looked at her father with disbelief.
He's afraid she'll have a good reputation; if others hear about it, they'll probably try to ruin her reputation.
"Yes, let the child in first, then we can talk." Upon hearing this, Meng's mother forgot everything else.
He quickly went forward, pulled Meng Yixuan inside, and swiftly closed the door.
"So you still care about your reputation? Then tell me, where have you been all this time, coming home so late?"
"Are you dating someone outside? What does that guy's family do?" Meng's father thought it must be bad, otherwise she wouldn't have kept it from her family.
She kept going to the hospital to inquire about other people's childbirth experiences. This is not something a good girl from a good family would do.
