Chapter 376 Acting Together
Wen Wan rolled her eyes a thousand times in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face. She just blinked and forced a faint smile.
"Who doesn't have some excessive desires in this world? Since I am Lord Meng's obsession, Lord Meng, would you be willing to save my obsession's life?"
When it comes to thick-skinnedness, she dares to claim second place, and no one dares to claim first place.
It's just to survive, there's nothing shameful about it.
Wenwan's smile became brighter and brighter, with an extremely flattering look.
Meng Jin stared at Wen Wan for a long time, as if trying to find any trace of disguise on her face, but Wen Wan could even deceive herself, let alone him.
There were footsteps outside the door, and the head maid was standing at the door with food in her hands.
Meng Jin then withdrew his hand. "I need to think carefully about whether it's worth it to offend an important figure for you. For now... let's see how you perform."
"Alright! As long as Master Meng is willing to give me a chance."
Wen Wan said this and began to grab the maids' work very diligently.
She lowered herself to the lowest position to set the table, serve the soup and pick up the dishes.
Meng Jin sat behind the table, staring at the dishes piled up like a mountain in the bowl, then looked at Wen Wan opposite him with a fawning look on her face.
He suddenly raised his head and laughed, and as he laughed, his expression became distorted with madness.
"Xiao Wan, it turns out... you also have this side to you."
That’s right, who in this world is not afraid of death?
Wen Wan smiled bitterly and said nothing.
Meng Jin picked up the bowl proudly, but did not eat the food in it. Instead, she poured the food in the bowl directly onto the ground.
"Ah, I accidentally knocked it over. Xiaowan's hard work was wasted."
Wen Wan's mouth twitched, and her smile froze for a moment before returning to normal.
"It's okay, I'll clean it up, it's just a small matter."
Before she could even take a bite of her meal, she stood up to get the broom. Before she even touched the broom, she heard Meng Jin say indifferently:
"Why bother taking what's near and discarding what's far? It's just a few vegetable leaves, just pick them up. Don't you agree, Xiaowan?"
It's bullshit!
A big bowl of rice, you call it a few pieces of vegetable leaves?
Wen Wan's pupils shrank, and she gritted her teeth and whispered, "Yes, you are right."
So she squatted at his feet and picked up the leaves.
Meng Jin looked at her with her brows lowered and her face submissive, and the arc of his mouth gradually widened.
Wenwan noticed his expression out of the corner of her eye, and deep down she felt only mockery.
She knew that one should not judge a person by his appearance. People like Meng Jin, no matter how affectionate they pretend to be, are still heartless and ungrateful at heart.
His obsession was not with Wen Wan's friendship, but rather his unwillingness to accept that he could not get what he wanted.
Once he gets it and his obsession is resolved, I'm afraid that what will be left for her will still not be a way out.
Seeing that Wen Wan had cleaned the dirt on the floor, Meng Jin took out a handkerchief, gently held her hand, and wiped her palms.
"Look at you! I just said it casually, but you actually picked it up with your hands. Your white and tender hands are dirty. I feel bad for you."
Wen Wan: “…”
This guy is probably a psychopath, maybe he has split personality disorder? One moment he's normal, the next moment he's crazy!
Because of Meng Jin's interruption, the food on the table had become cold. Wen Wan was about to sit down and eat a few more bites, but Meng Jin asked the maid to take the food away.
"The food is cold, so don't eat it. It would be terrible if you get an upset stomach."
Meng Jin spoke lightly, his tone full of pity.
Wen Wan watched helplessly as the maids took away the food, and then she went hungry all night.
In the next two days, Meng Jin always found ways to make things difficult for Wen Wan. He was like the protagonist in a revenge novel. Once he gained power, he would seek revenge and make up for all the suffering he had suffered in the past.
Wen Wan knew that he was venting on purpose, so she forced herself to tolerate him for two days.
However, she still overestimated her body's ability to withstand it. Perhaps because she was very hungry, she didn't pay attention when walking and rolled down the stairs.
Fortunately, the steps were not high, so the fall was not serious, I just sprained my foot.
After receiving the news, Meng Jin immediately rushed to the wing room.
The doctor had just finished applying medicine to Wen Wan when Meng Jin waved her hand and asked the doctor and the maids to leave.
He sat beside the bed lovingly and said, "Xiao Wan, why are you so careless? You scared me. I was really afraid that something would happen to you."
Wen Wan sneered in her heart, thinking that if she didn't know, how could he be afraid that something might happen to her?
Is he afraid that if she dies, his obsession will not be completely resolved?
Wen Wan's eyes rolled, and she began to act with her dying breath. She first coughed heavily a few times, and then put on an expression of grief and despair.
"Alas, Master Meng, I know I have done many things that have saddened you in the past. I can understand why you feel resentful towards me."
"I've tried my best to please Lord Meng these past few days, but he still refuses to forgive me. I'm so upset. I think only if I die will Lord Meng be willing to forgive me a little."
As she spoke, she looked at Meng Jin with resentment, "Master Meng, if you are unwilling to save me, I will die sooner or later. It is better to let me die."
She kept calling him "die" and started to cry in a sobbing voice.
Meng Jin immediately held her hand nervously, "Xiao Wan, please don't say such unlucky words. The doctor said you just sprained it and it will be healed in a few days."
Wen Wan just cried and didn't respond to him.
After a while, Meng Jin said again: "Xiao Wan, I have considered your proposal. As long as it can save you, of course I am happy to do it. It's not for money, but simply because I care about you and can't bear to see you suffer."
Haha, she believes it, she is the stupidest person in the world.
Wen Wan's face was extremely moved, and she asked with emotion: "Are you really willing to offend important people for me?"
Meng Jin said calmly, "Given my current status, that person should probably give me some face. However... the wealth of the Wen family business cannot be saved. If I want to gain that person's forgiveness, I have to pay something."
Wen Wan pretended not to understand, "Then according to your opinion, what should I do?"
Meng Jin seemed to be waiting for her to say this.
He made a suggestion earnestly, "I have a way, maybe we can give it a try."
Wen Wan nodded, "Master Meng, please feel free to speak."
Meng Jin said slowly, "You divide the wealth of the Wen family business into two parts. For our future well-being, we will keep one part and give the other part to you. When the time comes, I will tell you that those are all your belongings."
"However, based on my understanding of the noble lady, wealth alone may not necessarily lead to her showing mercy. We also need to make her feel that you are a useful person to her."
"So, I will guarantee you in front of the noble man. As long as you promise to earn 100,000 taels of silver for the noble man every year, I think the noble man will show mercy to you for my sake."
At first glance, it seems that his words are all considering her.
But who is Wen Wan? How could such a little trick be hidden from her eyes?
She was so angry that she wanted to laugh. He really thought she was a moron. After being sold out by him, she should be grateful to him?
