C2609 Before Going out to Sea(2)
The old lady's body trembled at this, and she looked at Yuan Yue with some perplexity. There seemed to be resentment and malice in her eyes, but the truth of the matter was that she could only show her weak and humble side to Yuan Yue!
"You want to live? Hmph, that will depend on your performance! Just like how you treat those young men, they also want to live. What did you tell them? Did you also say... it depends on your performance?"
Yuan Yue coldly approached the old lady's ear and said to her!
"So... if you want to live, then think about it carefully. Is there anything else that you know but didn't tell us? On the way, the better you perform, the more you will be useful to us, and the more likely you will live! When that time comes... you might even be able to meet your children and grandchildren! "
Hearing Yuan Yue's words, the old lady lowered her head and didn't speak anymore. It was as if... she had aged several years in that instant!
As they were packing their things and chatting in the courtyard of the mayor's residence, they heard the sound of hurried footsteps approaching from the direction of the inner courtyard. They looked up and saw Meng Qingchen walking toward them with a furious expression on his face.
"You... you want to go out to sea?"
She walked in front of Faang Cheng and asked loudly.
In that instant, Faang Cheng was actually a little stunned. Meng Qingchen acted like a resentful woman who had been abandoned by her husband. He ran up to her husband who had betrayed her and asked him why he had abandoned her.
"Yeah, is there a problem with Miss Meng?"
Although he was extremely dissatisfied in his heart, Faang Cheng still suppressed his temper and asked the confused Meng Qingchen in a calm tone.
"Why don't I know?"
When she heard Faang Cheng admit it so easily, she could not help but feel even more furious. Her tone became even more impolite, as if she was questioning Faang Cheng.
Faang Cheng's face was stern, and he was obviously very angry, but there was a woman in front of him, and her good manners made it impossible for him to really fall out with her, so he didn't say anything. He just stared blankly at Meng Qingchen in front of him, without any reaction!
"Why do you want to know? Who are you?"
Shu Qing couldn't stand Meng Qingchen's words anymore. She stepped forward to break the silence and asked him directly!
"You..."
Meng Qingchen choked and was somewhat flustered, but fortunately, he was still rational and intelligent. She rolled her eyes at Shu Qing, then turned her gaze back to Faang Cheng. That gaze... It was as if she could only see Faang Cheng in her eyes, and no one else existed!
"I'm asking Big Brother Faang, you're not him. How do you know how he will answer?"
Although Meng Qingchen said this to Shu Qing, her eyes were still fixed on Faang Cheng, and there was even a trace of a smile on her face that she thought was pure and otherworldly.
"What Shu Qing said is right! We going out to sea is our own business, so why should we tell you? "
Faang Cheng did not get used to his bad habits at all and immediately retorted.
"Do we have to get Miss Meng's approval before we can decide on something? Shuqing's question is not completely unreasonable. You... Who are you?"
Faang Cheng's words caused Meng Qingchen to lose all face. He stared at Faang Cheng with his mouth slightly open for a long time, then looked away uneasily and looked at the ground.
"I... I just... just wanted to care about you. I didn't mean anything else! Besides... Nobody told me about going out to sea, so I got up early in the morning after I found out about it! If I mess up your business, Qingchen... Qingchen will become everybody's target again! "
Meng Qingchen knew very well that he was no longer liked by Yuan Yue, Xiao Qi, and Shu Qing. He might as well just give up. So what if the women did not like him? It was fine as long as the men did not reject him!
"Pack up? Why are you packing?"
Faang Cheng seemed to know the answer to his question, causing Yuan Yue and the others who were watching from the side to secretly want to laugh. However, they just had to hold it in!
"I... I will naturally pack up my things and go out to sea with you!"
Hearing Faang Cheng's words, Meng Qingchen seemed to realize something. His hands could not help but tighten around his clothes as he looked at Faang Cheng in disbelief!
At first, she thought that the reason why no one told her that they were going out to sea was because Yuan Yue and the others had interfered in the matter. Perhaps Faang Cheng had handed the matter of informing her to any one of the three of them. Perhaps they wanted to tease her or simply did not want her to follow them at all. Thus, they delayed informing her that they were going out to sea, causing her to lose face in front of Faang Cheng due to not being able to prepare in time. But what she did not expect was that Faang Cheng did not want her to go out to sea at all. From beginning to end, it was all wishful thinking on his part!1
"Oh, I seem to have forgotten to tell Miss Meng that we are going out to sea in a few days. You... You don't have to follow us. Just wait for us in the City Lord's Mansion!"
Faang Cheng understood what Meng Qingchen meant. A cold smile flashed across his lips, and then he personally broke Meng Qingchen's beautiful dream!
"I... Didn't I want to be a witness in the Yun Family? How could you not bring me there? Then who can prove to you that those murderers who want to harm the Bai Family are from the Yun Family? I have to go with them!"
Meng Qingchen tried his best to put himself into Faang Cheng's group, but unfortunately... No one welcomed him. Even Xiao Si'er and Fei, who did not participate, looked at her coldly from the side, as if they felt that she was a person with no sense of propriety.
"No, if we find the Yun family, then we'll bring them back, and when the time comes to interrogate them, you can come out and testify! If we can't find the Yun Family... then you don't need to go! Seaing is not a holiday, life at sea is very difficult. People like us who have Spirit Power are still fine, but Miss Meng is so delicate, it's better not to go!"
Faang Cheng had more or less given Meng Qingchen some face, but Meng Qingchen, who was originally quite smart, might have been in a mess because Faang Cheng said that he wouldn't bring her out to sea, but he did not realize that Faang Cheng had given her some face and insisted on continuing to argue.
"There's nothing I can't endure. Back at Fringe City, I personally participated in the construction of the Dust Cleansing Wine House bit by bit. Big Brother Faang, I'm not afraid of hardship!"
Meng Qingchen said without looking!
"Miss Meng, do you really not understand? Or did you intentionally play dumb? Do you really need us to explain it so clearly? What we mean is... no, take, you, go! This time... do you understand? "
Shu Qing's face was full of disdain. She couldn't help but open her mouth to say a few words.
