Chapter 152 - A Hypocrite Mother & Daughter

.....

Zhi Munan walked towards the bar counter slowly and stood next to Master Jin. He poured Master Jin's empty glass a wine, which glistened under the light. 

He knitted his brows, inquired coldly and decisively. "That Yue Wan has such a big head. How did she evade our plan? Are you sure that we still need that girl alive? She already created enough problems for us."

Gently swirling the glass of wine in his hand, Master Jin said, somewhat blandly, "I never said that I want her dead. At least, not now."

"To eliminate him, we need to have Yue Wan. Not to mention, in order to destroy the Yue families Military power and fame, we require the Xiao family to be under our control as well. Unfortunately, we have suffered a serious setback and now we have lost both." He slammed the glass onto the bars' countertop and it broke into a piece.

Master Jin had always been careful and stringent, for he was afraid of letting the cat out of the bag. It was the very factor that he used Li Biyu to clean up his work. On top of that, Yue Wan's sudden change in character had caused great havoc in their plan.

Zhi Munan picked up new glass and poured some more wine in it. Placing the glass in front of Master Jin, he advised; "Patience Young Master, only then can we achieve our goal. Let's destroy the evidence of our existence here and move to City A. It's time to take this game back into your own hands."

"Find out a way to get Li Rong out of prison within twelve hours." Master Jin said, tilting the glass to let the crimson wine flow into his mouth.

Shock was written all over Zhi Munan's face: "Young Master, aren't we being too eager? I'm afraid we might alarm him…"

Master Jin smirked slowly and said, "He is already on our tail."

Zhi Munan was greatly taken aback by his words.

"Munan, those people have already begun dig information in City C. Even if we can't get rid of them completely, we'd at least have to shake them and teach them a lesson." By gently raising the glass in his hand, Master Jin smiled with wickedness.

--------Back to City A--> with Yue Wan-----

Yue Wan's spirits dampened the moment she saw the Jing Mother and daughter pair. She couldn't help but recall in her previous lifetime, after marrying into the Xiao family, this duo pair made her life even more hellish. Most of the mental abuse she had experienced was due to them. They had even used her name on numerous occasions to visit Yue Xiang and try to weasel their way into a marriage.

After Xiao Ran's death, Elder Xiao became bedridden and Xiao Shen had used this opportunity to enter Xiao Main Villa. Once Xiao Hua left the villa, the duo came to her and made things hard for her. Especially while she was pregnant, given the amount of times that they tried to cause her to have an abortion, the little baby inside her tummy suffered a lot. Not a week went by without the duo trying something.

Even that time where Wei Wan and Li Rong managed to successfully kidnapped Yue Wan from the Xiao estate must have been part of their plot. For the whole 6 months that Yue Wan was pregnant before her death, she would get her revenge in this life, bit by bit. But now… the stupid duo had walked straight into her hands without her doing a thing.

Noticing that their wifey seemed to be in low spirits, the twins grasped Yue Wan's hands and comforted her in silence.

"Ms. Yue, what a coincidence, I never thought that we would meet again. Indeed, it seems to be fated." Jing Zhe seemed to be in pure shock, seeing Yue Wan at the restaurant.

The smile on Yue Wan's lips froze, becoming cynical and disdainful.

Jing Zhe's smile stiffened slightly upon seeing her response. Previously, during the party when Yue Wan twisted her mother's words and strained their relationship with Grandpa Xiao, she had just assumed that it was a fluke, an impulse to save Xiao Ran. However, now it seemed that this Miss Yue was really hostile towards them. She did not know how they offended this b*tch.

Still, Jing Zhe continued to speak with a composed expression. "Sorry to disturb your lunch, I was so excited to see you here and want to chat a little. I hope you don't mind if we join your table." 

Yue Wan, who had a candid and straightforward personality, looked at them with her pair of dark golden eyes, as if she was meeting them for the first time.

With a thinly veiled look of hatred, she smiled at Jing Zhe. "Of course I mind! Since you know that you are disturbing us, why are you inviting yourself to our table? It takes an extremely thick-skinned person to say where they are not welcomed."

The moment she finished speaking, the table fell into a strange silence.

Shen Rui choked on his juice as he strained himself to control his laughter. Unfortunately, he was not successful and spat his drink across the table. 'Way to go wifey!'

Jing Zhe was speechless. She bit her lip painfully and clenched her fist tightly. Thick Skinned person! This woman has a sharp tongue. 

Xiao Shen's composed face turned ugly when she heard what Yue Wan said. "Yue Wan, Ah-Zhe did not do anything truly offensive towards you, she just came over to say hello. Why are you being so rude to her?" She screamed in anger

When Xiao Shen said this, the twins rolled their eyes at her simultaneously. 

Shen Ming spoke with a mocking and cynical tone: "Who is rude? Using fate as an excuse, you two met Sis-Wan right as she was sitting down to each lunch. Nice pickup line to get free food in a fancy restaurant."

Shen Rui with his chin resting on his hands, cocking his head adorably: "A hypocrite woman who pretends to be prim and proper. "

"..." Jing Zhe wanted to slap those little brats, but under Yue Wan's cold scrutiny eyes, fear and anxiety gripped at her heart. She shuddered as she stammered out an apology. "Miss Yue! I think you've misunderstood us somehow. We wanted to thank you in the name of the Xiao family for the gift that you presented to Grandpa on his birthday. We never meant any harm to you."

"Not me? Then you intentionally meant to harm Chairman Xiao Ran?" "Yue Wan chuckled, which baffled Jing's mother and daughter.

Xiao Shen was stupefied for a moment. Her expression darkened: "Yue Wan, what are you trying to imply?"

How did she know that? Even the-Wei doesn't have an idea about it.

Jing Zhe was stunned by seeing her Xiao Ran's strange look.

"So, you're telling me that everything at the party was the Wei family's own plan and had nothing to do with you?" Yue Wan asked sarcastically, her eyebrows raised in disbelief. "Or your mother?" Her golden pupil landed on Xiao Shen.
