Chapter 187: Comnenus: How to End:(
Chapter 187
Xing Siyun was determined. This was the best opportunity to break free from her grandmother's control!
Xing Siyun also said to Xiao Ya: "I really don't want to offend your family at all. I'm not like my grandmother; I know what your family does. You're still young, so you may not understand the pain of being forced into an arranged marriage... But I truly don't want to harm your family. I just, I just want to be with the person I love."
Old Mrs. Feng nearly coughed up blood when she heard this.
On the other end, Qin Sui couldn't help but pinch his wireless earpiece.
He could clearly hear Xiao Ya on the other side, using such a soft, childlike tone to force the Xing family to retreat step by step.
But who taught her that? Or did she figure it out on her own? Dividing and conquering the enemy like that...
"Come with me," Old Mrs. Feng grabbed Xing Siyun's hand.
Xiao Ya wiped her mouth and said, "She can't go with you. She's Uncle Wei Lin's fiancée now."
"You think your word counts?"
"Mm-hmm, right now what I say goes in this family."
"..."
Xing Siyun looked at Xiao Ya, never having felt that a child could be so reliable before!
She shook off her grandmother's hand again: "Please just leave me alone."
"Fine, fine! I can't control you! I'll let your grandfather deal with you himself!" Old Mrs. Feng snorted coldly and strode out quickly.
Once outside, she realized her entire back was drenched in cold sweat.
Damn it!
What kind of situation was this?
It should have been a sure thing... but it was all ruined by that little brat!
Refusing to control herself and sleeping with some random man!
On Xing Siyun's side, she couldn't help but shudder at the words "grandfather."
She asked, "We're going abroad tomorrow?"
"Mm-hmm," Xiao Ya responded.
Xing Siyun immediately let out a sigh of relief. Then... she wouldn't have to endure her family's discipline and accusations anymore.
"Just one more left," Xiao Ya said softly.
"What one more?" Xing Siyun instinctively asked.
Just one more person who hurt Mommy left. Xiao Ya smiled slightly at her.
Although Xing Siyun was there, the meal still went very harmoniously.
Xiao Ya brought Xing Siyun back to the Gui Family home.
Once they arrived, Wei Wenqing couldn't help but say, "They seemed so unreasonable, yet it was resolved just like that."
As an uncle, he really felt inferior!
Xiao Ya said, "It's very simple. Didn't you say, Uncle, that Grandpa believes even blood relatives like fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, will make opposing choices due to their different positions and interests..."
"Right..."
"Mm-hmm, that's where I got the inspiration. Because of different positions and interests, Miss Xing made an opposing choice."
Qin Sui and Sheng Yuxiao were also walking nearby. When they heard Xiao Ya's answer, they both had a sudden realization.
They simultaneously reached out to pinch Xiao Ya's cheeks.
Then the three hands met in mid-air.
Xiao Ya: ?
Xiao Ya: "What are you doing?"
Sheng Yuxiao casually changed course to pat Xiao Ya's head, saying, "You're too clever. Just wanted to praise you."
Qin Sui asked Wei Wenqing, "Does your family have a hobby of disemboweling people?"
Before Wei Wenqing could answer, Xiao Ya spoke up: "That part, I made it up based on what I saw in a TV drama."
After saying that, she seemed a bit uncertain and turned to ask Wei Wenqing: "Little Uncle, our family doesn't have that kind of hobby, right?"
Wei Wenqing shook his head repeatedly.
"That's good." Xiao Ya immediately let out a big sigh of relief.
"Are you really going abroad?" Sheng Yuxiao asked in a deep voice.
Xiao Ya nodded.
"Actually... Wei Lin should be feeling overwhelmed lately. The projects he's in charge of have started to run into trouble one after another," Sheng Yuxiao said.
Xiao Ya was surprised: "How do you know?"
"Your grandfather told me."
"Oh."
Xiao Ya slowly shook her head: "But it's not enough."
"Your grandfather has chosen a way for him to die..."
"Die at Ke Muning's hands?"
"Bingo."
"That's not good."
"Hmm? What's not good about it?"
Qin Sui interjected: "Who's Ke Muning?"
Xiao Ya lowered her head and kicked a small stone by her foot: "If Wei Lin dies at his hands, people will instead think Wei Lin died... heroically."
"And, I don't want to make an enemy of Ke Muning anymore,"
Sheng Yuxiao was silent for a moment, then said: "That will be difficult. From the Gui Family's internal perspective, this would be seen as you getting close to an enemy."
Xiao Ya's eyes sparkled: "It doesn't matter. People can come up with solutions."
"So who is Ke Muning?" Qin Sui interjected again.
"I need help making a phone call," Sheng Yuxiao said.
"I really need it now!" Xiao Ya looked up at him. "Can I borrow Secretary Wang?"
"Sure," Sheng Yuxiao didn't hesitate at all. After all, it was Little Uncle who wanted to put on this show himself.
Qin Sui couldn't resist turning Xiao Ya's face towards him: "Who is Ke Muning?"
Sheng Yuxiao finally cheered up a bit: "Don't know who he is?"
Qin Sui glanced at him sideways.
Sheng Yuxiao said: "Not telling you."
Qin Sui: "..."
Sheng Yuxiao happily grabbed Xiao Ya and hoisted her onto his shoulder: "Haha, let's go!"
Ke Muning had just finished testing a new selection of guns at the shooting range.
"What do you think, sir?" someone beside him asked.
"Ha, they've all forgotten about me lately. Not even a phone call," Ke Muning said coldly with a twisted smile.
"What did you say, sir?" The person beside him was stunned.
"Nothing. ... The grip on this one isn't good. Take it back and modify it."
"Mr. Jefferson is hosting a grand banquet at Tali Palace and invites you to attend," his subordinate handed him an invitation. "Several of your old enemies will be there too."
Ke Muning was puzzled: "Then aren't they afraid I'll shoot them?"
The subordinate didn't dare respond.
This Mr. Jefferson was a politician. To prove his influence, he needed Ke Muning to be his mascot. To demonstrate that his power was great enough to make even a madman become docile.
"Old enemies, will people from the Gui Family be there too?"
"Yes."
"Last time they called saying they had nightmares, now the nightmares are gone and they've forgotten about me?" Ke Muning suddenly said again.
"What did you say, sir?"
"Go order a set of formal wear."
"Yes, sir."
The next day, Xiao Ya brought Xing Siyun to the foreign country.
When Wei Wenjuan heard she had arrived, he hurried back from the sea to meet them.
Wei Lin arrived at almost the same time. After seeing that Xing Siyun had come too, his expression subtly cracked a bit.
"Sorry, I probably won't be able to entertain Xiao Ya these couple of days. I'm busy representing the family at a banquet," Wei Lin said politely without even looking at Xing Siyun.
Xiao Ya said: "It's okay, I'm going too."
Then she looked at Xing Siyun: "You should come as well."
Xing Siyun was overjoyed: "Really? I can go too?"
The corner of Wei Lin's mouth twitched involuntarily.
What trick was this little ancestor planning to pull?
Wei Wenjuan immediately expressed that he wanted to accompany Xiao Ya to the banquet, but was refused.
"It will be very safe at the banquet," Xiao Ya said with certainty.
To have such courage in a completely unfamiliar country.
Wei Wenjuan sighed: "Uncle is no match for you. Alright then, take Uncle's bodyguards with you."
Xiao Ya didn't refuse this.
Soon it was the day of the banquet.
Ke Muning walked beside Mr. Jefferson, who said, "I don't care what you do after you leave here, but while you're here, give me some face."
Ke Muning nodded coldly.
"The Gui Family people are here," Mr. Jefferson said, pausing. "I know what you want from the Gui Family. Hey, I'll help you."
Ke Muning suddenly stopped in his tracks, staring at the small figure beside Wei Lin. It looked very familiar, but the hair color was wrong, and given his level of face blindness with Hua Country people, he wasn't very confident in recognizing them.
"Who is that?" Ke Muning asked.
"The Gui Family's child? I don't know, I haven't seen them before either."
"The one next to them is Wei Lin, right?"
"Yes, I'm telling you, how can you still not tell Hua Country people apart?"
"The Gui Family only has one child..." Ke Muning pressed his lips together hard. How was she walking together with Wei Lin?
Ke Muning suddenly turned his head: "I need to hide."
"Ke Muning?" Jefferson's face showed bewilderment. "What's wrong with you?"
Ke Muning was very displeased.
He just...
He just didn't want to reveal their enemy status to each other so soon.
A few days ago she still had such a soft voice on the phone.
Was she going to help Wei Lin load bullets to shoot him dead today?
Ha, just thinking about it really... pissed him off!
Before he only wanted to tease the little madwoman, but now it seemed hard to end things neatly.
