Chapter 69: But She’s My Wife!
Fang Wei immediately objected, “No way! What if she tells Tang Ze?!”
“Brother Fu has a point. If Zhonglin City is safe, CEO Xi will have influence, and we can live better.”
Fang Wei scoffed. “Feng Mengmeng, if his wife comes, what about you? If she finds out you’re the mistress, she’ll kick you to the curb!”
Fu Qi quickly interjected, “I promise she won’t. Mengmeng, you have to believe me.”
“Okay, I believe you, Brother Fu. You’re the best.”
Hearing this, Fu Qi felt a surge of confidence, as if he were Superman. He took out his phone and called his wife.
The phone buzzed on the coffee table. The sound annoyed Xi Meng. She picked it up and saw it was her husband. Even more annoying. Couldn’t he just leave her alone?
“What? You’re not back yet?”
“Honey, pack your things and come downstairs now. I found Tang Ze’s car. It’s fully modified.”
Xi Meng sobered up instantly, jumping to her feet, then frowning and sitting back down.
“How did you find it?”
“Don’t ask so many questions. Just come downstairs. I’ll drive the car inside.”
Xi Meng’s mind was in a turmoil. She didn’t know what to do.
“Don’t think about it. We don’t have much time. Zhonglin City is safe. You have businesses there. You don’t have to stay here and live in fear!”
This convinced her. If it was really safe there, she should go.
But was it real or fake?
She was under Tang Ze’s control, at his beck and call. This wasn’t what she wanted. Escaping his clutches might be the right choice.
Without another word, she said in a low voice, “Okay, see you downstairs. I’ll pack my things.”
Her words reached Ye Qingyi’s ears, and her spirit seemed to leave her body. She had lost…
Yueyue couldn’t be saved, and her fiancé would die.
Tang Ze gave her a helpless look. She had to accept the bet. He felt sorry for Xi Meng. Sister Xi, you really messed up this time.
An Bai comforted her. “Sister Yiyi, don’t be sad.”
Sun Ting also sighed. In the end, Xi Meng had chosen to leave.
Ye Qingyi had thought Xi Meng was a smart woman, that she would choose to stay with the strong. But she hadn’t expected Xi Meng to refuse to submit, to want to be the strong one herself.
“My condolences.”
Tang Ze patted Ye Qingyi’s shoulder.
Sun Ting and An Bai gave her similar looks. In this world, just surviving was a blessing.
Xi Meng was ready. She stood on the first floor, looking outside, and messaged Fu Qi.
He was driving towards her.
Fang Wei, seeing the complex getting closer, felt a growing sense of dread, afraid of seeing Tang Ze appear and shoot them one by one.
She could even see Xi Meng on the first floor.
And Xi Meng saw the car approaching, her excitement rising.
“Don’t go!”
Fang Wei suddenly grabbed the steering wheel, and Fu Qi slammed on the brakes, stopping the car. Xi Meng was stunned.
“What are you doing?! We almost crashed!”
Fu Qi roared. If they had crashed, they would all be dead.
Fang Wei said in a low voice, “A woman whose heart has changed will do anything. Tang Ze is already waiting there. If we go, he’ll kill us!”
Feng Mengmeng looked at the first floor. The angle was indeed a bit blocked. Not only was she scared, but so was Fu Qi. They had all witnessed Tang Ze’s ruthlessness.
“Fu Qi, you know how your wife treats you. Is having Feng Mengmeng with you worse than having her? You’re risking your life to save this ancestor, and you’ll have to face a woman who doesn’t even treat you like a man.”
“She’s even willing to disregard your feelings for power! Is a woman like that worth risking your life for?!”
Fu Qi gripped the steering wheel, his mind in a turmoil.
“Why isn’t it worth it?! She’s my wife!”
He shouted, his voice choked with tears.
He put the car in reverse and stepped on the gas.
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I just can’t forgive you.”
Xi Meng stood frozen, watching the car speed away. Why hadn’t he come for her?
She immediately called him.
“Come back!”
“I’m sorry, I can’t bring myself to do it.”
Xi Meng gave a bitter laugh. “Who did I do all this for? I sacrificed so much, and you just abandoned me! You just left with your little mistress!”
Even though it was dark, she could see her secretary, Feng Mengmeng, in the passenger seat.
“You betrayed me!”
Fu Qi roared.
“You betrayed me too!”
Xi Meng lost control of her emotions. Her only family had abandoned her.
“Brother-in-law, come back. Sister is waiting for you.”
A voice like it was coming from the abyss sounded from behind. Xi Meng turned and saw Tang Ze, and the three women behind him.
Ye Qingyi, who had been ashen-faced, was now beaming. Sun Ting and An Bai were also happy for her. As long as Xi Meng stayed, Ye Qingyi had won.
Of course, Tang Ze still had to try. What if he could win?
But hearing his voice, Fu Qi probably wouldn’t turn back even if a hundred whales pulled him.
“You… take care of yourself.”
Sure enough, Fu Qi hung up after hearing Tang Ze’s voice.
Xi Meng collapsed onto the ground, abandoned in hell…
“Heh… heh…”
She suddenly started laughing.
Tang Ze squatted beside her and stroked her head. “Sister Xi, why are you crying?”
“Don’t touch me!”
She slapped his hand away.
“This is the Sister Xi I like. You see, I have a button here that can stop the car…”
Tang Ze held out his hand. Before he could finish, Xi Meng snatched the remote and pressed the button.
In the car, Fu Qi heard a beeping sound. “Do you hear that?”
The beeping grew faster. Feng Mengmeng and Fang Wei exchanged glances, a bad feeling rising in their hearts.
Boom!
A huge explosion lit up the night sky, a dazzling spectacle. Lights came on in the surrounding buildings as people rushed to see what had happened.
A fireball in the intersection, like a burning car…
Perhaps by coincidence, a head flew through the air and rolled to a stop nearby. Wasn’t that… brother-in-law?
The remote fell from Xi Meng’s hand. She stared blankly at her husband’s head.
