Chapter 144 Come, Lets Try! (1/2)

Ying Qingcang was not someone who cared whether another person lived or died. Xin Qing did not think he would be kind enough to give Li Guihai a friendly warning.

Ying Qingcang's response was beyond any of her expectations, though. ”Yes!” Ying Qingcang said, nodding.

Xin Qing stared at him as if she were looking at a ghost.

”If I didn't tell him, the Li family will collaborate with Fang Lu. Since the execution of the investment plans will begin during the end of this year, I don't have time to play their game over and over again. My only option is to stop them from collaborating,” Ying Qingcang slowly explained his reasons to Xin Qing. ”Zhao Jiali isn't someone who knows her place at all. I don't feel like giving her any more chances.”

Xin Qing looked at him blankly. ”So you told Li Guihai everything about her past?”

”As if I have that kind of patience,” Ying Qingcang said, pressing his lips into a line. ”I just gave him a reminder, that's all. If he isn't a fool, he will start digging into it on his own.”

Zhao Jiali was still clueless about the fact that she had become just a piece of meat on a cutting board, waiting for the knife to fall. Instead, she was still her pretentious self, trying everything in her power to fish for compliments from Li Xiaoru. Recently, Zhao Jiali often found Li Xiaoru alone on her own, blushing and staring off into space. There was also an occasion when Zhao Jiali mentioned Chen Ming's name, and Li Xiaoru reacted by acting nervous and jittery. Zhao Jiali was an experienced woman. She knew exactly what that kind of behavior entailed; Li Xiaoru had fallen for Chen Ming.

”You should just forget about it!” Fang Lu tossed a folder at Zhao Jiali. ”Chen Ming isn't someone we can afford to piss off. He isn't someone we are capable of controlling, and he sure as hell won't give a shit about that meagre inheritance of the Li family.”

Zhao Jiali flipped through a few pages. Her face morphed into a look of displeasure and jealousy. ”Such impressive stature. How can I just sit by and let that little bitch monopolize all of it?”

”She's the one having feelings for Chen Ming right now. We don't even know what Chen Ming's thoughts are! What are you acting so psychotic for?” Fang Lu said, looking at Zhao Jiali contemptuously. Having interacted with Zhao Jiali for a while, Fang Lu realized that not only was Zhao Jiali foolish but that she also had balls of steel.

”Why don't I give it a try?” Zhao Jiali touched her own face.

Inwardly, Fang Lu gave a mocking laugh. ”Time to wake up, Aunty...” Fang Lu thought. She did not voice out the thought. Instead, she plastered a grin on her face and said, ”Sure! I think it might work. Just try it and see how it goes.”

Zhao Jiali walked away gleefully. Fang Lu's smile gradually widened as she watched Zhao Jiali leave. ”Zhao Jiali, you really don't know your place at all. Forget the fact that you're already an old cougar, but right now you're also Li Guihai's wife. The circle is so huge. Do you really think other people are blind? Haha... Go ahead. The moment you humiliate yourself will be my moment to shine.”

The renovation works of the house were finally completed three days before the wedding. The workers, as well as the designers, were nearly in tears at that point; they had completed a supposedly two-month project in just half a month. Right now, all of them were so exhausted that they were literally trudging around like dogs. If Ying Qingcang had not tripled their salary, everyone would have abandoned the project a long time ago.

The original style of Ying's residence interior design had a simple theme of black, white and grey. Right now, the entire design of the house had been altered into a European style design, which mostly consisted of white and golden colors. The new design gave the lounge a luxurious but unpretentious look. In the past, the third floor was unused; this time, the entire third floor was turned into the master bedroom, plus another two rooms to be used as Xin Qing's study and walk-in closet. The guest room and nurseries were on the second floor. Ying Qingcang had deliberately instructed the designers to prepare two nurseries on the second floor; the extra room could be used straightaway by the time his son was born.

Xin Qing could not help but take several steps back when she saw the massive bathtub.

”What are you doing?” Ying Qingcang grabbed her and pulled her back in. ”I've specially requested for a massive bathroom. Not bad, right?! The bathtub can even change colors. Do you want to try it now?” Ying Qingcang's lips held a cryptic smile as he stared at the woman in his arms.

”N-no th-thanks,” Xin Qing stammered.

”Come on. Just try it, hmm?” Ying Qingcang picked her up and then placed her on the bathroom counter. Then he stood right between her legs.

”You're not allowed to seduce me!” Xin Qing covered her eyes. Whenever this man looked at her with that smile, her pulse would race.

Ying Qingcang bit her ear as he pointed to the mirror. ”Look! Baby, you look so alluring right now.”

Xin Qing angled her head sideways to look at her own reflection in the mirror. Her face looked like an apple due to her shyness, and her eyes were large and bright.

”Oh, stop it!” She buried her face into the man's chest, not daring to look at herself anymore.

”The new bedroom can only be used for our wedding night. Let's head back to the hotel right now,” Ying Qingcang said without shame.

”Mm!” Xin Qing nodded stupidly, and then she immediately realized what she had just agreed to. She shoved him away. ”Don't, don't talk nonsense,” she stammered, though her voice had betrayed her hunger and thirst for him.

Ying Qingcang stared at her red face and wide eyes. Then without further ado, Ying Qingcang picked her up and carried her outside.

That was how Xin Qing ended up being brought back to the hotel and thoroughly ravished before she could even finish her tour of the renovated house. When she opened her eyes the next day, she was instantly greeted with the enlarged view of a face, which was staring right at her.

”Ah!” Xin Qing shrieked, startling Zhang Mi enough to make her take a step back. Only then did Xin Qing realize Zhang Mi's presence.

”Mimi? What are you doing here?” Xin Qing rubbed her eyes. She was fully awake now.

”F*ck. You scared the bejesus out of me!” Zhang Mi patted her chest and went on, ”Your man was just leaving when I got here. He told me not to wake you up.”

Xin Qing felt sore all over, especially the back and waist area. She propped herself up against the headboard, too lazy to move. ”Why did you come here?”

”Hehe! Haven't you been doing beauty treatments for the past few days? I'll tag along today!”
