Ling Wei was a rational person who loved herself the most. She wouldn’t insist on walking down this road of death even though she knew it was a dead end.
“Now that I’m in this state, no matter what trouble I create, Junyan won’t do anything to me. I’m just an old man, so how can he take my life? Mu Huan’s act of injuring me has left a knot in your Aunt Yueman’s heart no matter what. Let me take it slow. This matter will definitely work!” Ling Wei was afraid that it wouldn’t be good to be kind, but Old Master Meng wasn’t.
He was only such an old man. Even if he did something, what could Bo Junyan do to him? Did he want to take this old man’s life with his own hands?
Cripple him?
His mother was the one who’d suffer!
Some people were like this. They used other people’s concern for them as a bargaining chip to threaten those who cared about them.
“Junyan said that if I were to fake a marriage with one of his friends, he would get someone to help me get the Ling family. But if it’s just a fake marriage, I can do it. Hence, I want to temporarily agree to Junyan’s condition. Grandfather, if you’re still willing to continue, then go ahead. If Grandfather succeeds, my promise to you will always be valid.”
Ling Wei had come to look for the Old Master to talk about this matter. She knew that if she were to directly go up against Bo Junyan, he would kill her. Hence, since he had already said that, she could not continue to have any ideas about him. However, she was not willing to give up just like that!
He was hers to begin with. What she, Ling Wei, had had since she was young belonged to her! What right did someone like Mu Huan have to occupy her spot?
No matter what, she had to get him back!
It was just that she couldn’t use force.
And…
No matter what, he had to get the Ling Group first!
Hence, she decided to promise Bo Junyan that she would fake a marriage with his friend, get rid of his guard against her, and get his help. Then, she would make Old Master Meng feel indignant and create trouble.
In fact, the two of them almost broke down this time. If this happened a few more times, they would definitely break up.
She wasn’t in a hurry and could just let Old Master Meng take his time.
Old Master Meng had always felt that he was doing this for the sake of fulfilling his dream. In fact, he was just a pawn in Ling Wei’s hands, a pawn that would take the lead.
It would only be a long time later that he’d realize this. But by then, it would have already been too late.
After confirming that there was no problem with Old Master Meng, Ling Wei stood up and left.
As she was walking, she bumped into Meng Yueman.
“Ling Wei, when did you come?” Meng Yueman asked happily when she saw her.
“I’ve been here for a while. I’m ready to leave after my visit,” Ling Wei said with a smile.
“When you’re free, come visit your grandfather more often and try to persuade him. Even now, he’s still thinking about you and Junyan. He’s so stubborn that it’s giving me a headache!” Meng Yueman had been indirectly persuading the old man these days, but she felt that it was useless no matter what she said.
“I will.”
“Good girl.” Meng Yueman patted her arm in gratification.
After Ling Wei left the Meng residence, she called Bo Junyan.
“I agree to the terms you gave me previously. When are you going to invite your friend out? Let’s meet.”
“I’ll arrange a time with him before asking you out,” Bo Junyan said.
“Alright.” Ling Wei was about to hang up.
“Ling Wei, from now on, if my grandfather does anything to Xiao Huan, I’ll put the blame on you,” Bo Junyan said.
Ling Wei’s hand, which was hanging up the phone, suddenly froze.
What did he mean by that?
“Bo Junyan, what do you mean by this? Why would you be blaming me for what Grandpa would do?” Did he know that she was the one who had been giving advice to Old Master Meng?
