Chapter 61 - The Su family.

"Hey! Stop right there!" Menxiang struggled to chase the person who just seemed to be walking in long strides, aloofly. She finally grabbed his sleeves, making him stop.

"Get your hands off my coat." His voice added the chill to the cold winds around them, giving her goosebumps.

"Mo Bingwen! Why are you behaving like this? Didn't I tell you that Chunlan and I are innocent? We have nothing to do with Jihai's death!" She pleaded.

His silence made her heart plummet in disappointment and pain. He was so different from the warm and caring personality he had shown her.

Today, she felt exhausted from all the emotions she was feeling. She had lost a friend.

She had lost a brother.

And now, she was going to lose her fiancé.

"Why don't you believe me? Am I really that despicable in your eyes?" She lowered her head to hide the tears streaming down her face.

Mo Bingwen gazed at her, his heart stirring. His hands stretched to touch her hair, her wet long eyelashes facing the ground, but he stopped. Turning away, he said. "From now on, we are nothing but strangers. Don't talk to me again."

"Mo Bingwen, don't be a coward! The reason you are behaving like this isn't because of Jihai, but because of He Yuhan!" She screamed angrily.

Mo Bingwen who was walking away suddenly stopped. The sight encouraged Menxiang, making her reckless.

"If you keep behaving like this, I will definitely marry him and make you regret it!"

Mo Bingwen angrily turned around to face her. "What a coincidence, my parents have also arranged a new betrothal for me with the He family. I will not trouble you to come to the engagement ceremony."

Su Menxiang was stunned. "You are lying to me."

She stood there for hours, not making a sound as tears streamed down her face.

He didn't even give her a chance to explain. He really thought that she was just depending on him because of her family's situation!

A man came to her, covering her with a coat. He was in a military uniform, his face covered in stubbles. "Menxiang, why are you standing outside like this?"

She slowly raised her head up.

It was her first brother, Su Ying Jie.

"Da-ge, what are you doing here? Are you not supposed to be in camp?"

He laughed gruffly, his bulky figure shaking in mirth. "The government has finally given the soldiers some time off so naturally, we doctors will also come back home. What, are you not happy to see me?"

Before she could respond, he noticed the tears on her face, his face darkening. "Why are you crying? Who made you sad?"

He realized something, turning around to face the direction Mo Bingwen left. "Did your fiancee do this? Tell me, I will handle him!"

She grabbed his hand, shaking it in exasperation. "Da-ge! Can't you see I am in mourning clothes?! My friend, Bai Jihai just died."

Ying Jie turned around, speechless. "What do you mean Jihai is dead?"

She struggled to keep the tears at bay. "He died in an airport on his way to the UK."

He hugged his little sister, stroking her back. "Don't be sad, everything will be alright."

From afar, a man and a woman stood in black watching the scene quietly. The woman turned to the man asking. "It seems like Ying-ge, has come back, why don't we meet him?"

She couldn't help but to take a second look at the handsome man who had feminine features and admire him for a minute.

The man smiled maliciously. "There is no need. This slap that the Mo Family had given us, naturally I will return it back two thousand times!"

Shen Mengqi smiled. She knew she had done the right thing. Indeed, there was a reason that even though the Su family specialized in medicine, they were still one of the six top families in China.

They were not to be underestimated.

They were not only skilled in the art of healing people but also in the art of killing people without a trace. Their poisons were top notch without any developed cures in sight.

The head of the Su family, Su Liangzi was a sickly man who didn't have much time to live so he dedicated his life to training his children. His firstborn, Su Ying Jie was currently in the military serving as a doctor. His second son, Su Yuan Jun was the family's heir, in-charge of the hospitals in the Su family.

The third one was the in front of her, the one in charge of their underground operations, skilled in poison, Su Ying Pei.

Shen Mengqi had a concerned look on her face. "Sister Menxiang is really pitiful. What's so good about the Mo family? I think its better to allow her get married to He Yuhan."

Ying Pei smiled sinisterly, looking at her. "Do not interfere in our family matters. You must be a fool if you think that I don't why you are doing this."

Shen Mengqi's face turned sour. "I am just trying to-"

"Let me give you this warning. I do not care about your petty fights with the Tang family, or your dark alliance with the Wen family. But if you implicate my Su family, I will not spare you, little girl." He put on a pair of black sunshades and walked away.

Shen Mengqi's ȧssistant stepped forward to comfort her. "Young Mistress, the Su family doesn't seem as weak as they appear."

"Of course not. The excuse they gave the Mo family to approach them about being bankrupt is too insincere. Mo Bingwen must have found out the truth."

"What is it, Young Mistress?"

" I don't know either. But don't worry, it won't affect the Shen family." She walked towards the car parked at the entrance. "Have you confirmed Jihai's death?"

A female bodyguard who had stayed silent finally spoke. "Yes, it has been confirmed."

Shen Mengqi froze, then entered the car slamming the door hard. Inside the car, she fumed. "Tang Chunlan! I will make you pay for killing the man I loved. You Tang women are exactly the same!"

A tear slipped past her eyes.
