Chapter 60: Hiring You Meng as the Nanny
Upon arriving at the entrance of the manor, Lu Li found You Meng standing stiffly at the doorway, her eyes dark and red, sparkling with tears and looking sorrowful.
âLu Li!â Chen Xiaoyi called out with concern.
Lu Li had already disclosed to her yesterday that this woman was a spy sent by that bastard Ye Chen, so she harbored no good feelings towards You Meng.
âXiaoyi, go to work by yourself today!â Lu Li got out of the car.
Seeing Chen Xiaoyi looking at him worriedly warmed his heart. Everyone liked being favored like this, and he was no exception. It was what Lu Li yearned for, yet he could only helplessly shake his head.
âForget it, take a day off today and letâs hear what she has to say!â
âMm!â Chen Xiaoyi glared at You Meng, her heart filled with thoughts of her beloved man. Why should he suffer because of these bad women, whether itâs that woman Zhang Ziqin or You Meng standing before them now.
The car turned back into the manor, and You Meng followed them in.
Just as they entered the Lu family manor and stepped inside the house, You Meng threw herself at them, her eyes brimming with tears as she choked up, âBig brother, I really love you. Iâve been thinking about you ever since we parted. Please, donât make me leave; I just want to stay by your side.â
Her pitiful appearance made Lu Liâs gaze flicker slightly. Even though his heart held a grudge against You Meng for killing him in his past life (in the story! It was Ye Chen who killed him), seeing the rare warmth in his heart begging so pitifully softened him for a moment.
âDid you accomplish the task I assigned you?â He wouldnât be swayed by just a hug.
âBig brotherâŠâ You Meng knelt down in despair in front of Lu Li, âIâve dealt with the people from the Zhao family, but, but Ye Chen escaped. I couldnât kill himâŠâ
Killing Ye Chen was big brotherâs command. You Meng was scared, fearing that she hadnât completed the task given by big brother and that he wouldnât accept her.
âSo, you mean you didnât accomplish it?â Lu Liâs eyes narrowed slightly. To be honest, he was already surprised that You Meng actually managed to kill those from the Zhao family. This already proved that he hadnât misjudged her; the You Meng from yesterday wasnât acting.
Hearing this, You Meng trembled and quickly took out two fingers wrapped up from her pocket, âBig brother, Iâm incompetent. I could only cut off two of Ye Chenâs fingers. Please, please donât send me away. Next time, I will definitely deal with Ye Chen. Xiao Meng just wants to stay by big brotherâs side.â
âIs this⊠Ye Chenâs?â
âMm! Big brother, I promise, next time I will definitely kill Ye Chen. Please donât send me away, okay?â When had the famous âDark Moonâ been so humble? In front of Lu Li, You Meng abandoned all her pride.
Without responding to You Mengâs words, Lu Li examined the fingers she held up, âIâll determine whether these two fingers belong to Ye Chen.â
If they truly belonged to Ye Chen, that would be an unexpected joy. He had never hoped for You Meng to actually be able to kill Ye Chen.
âDid you handle the aftermath with the Zhao family?â He looked at the woman before him with a deep gaze.
Hearing Lu Liâs question, You Meng nodded, âI handled it. I put Ye Chenâs fingerprints on the dagger. Everyone will believe Ye Chen killed the people from the Zhao family.â
He silently nodded. This matter was easy to investigate. If You Meng used such a thing to deceive him, that would be too foolish.
âAre you sure, you werenât touched by Ye Chen?â If this woman had been touched by Ye Chen and only said she thought of him after seeing him, Lu Li would only feel disgust, repulsion.
âNo, my body, my heart, my soul, they all belong to big brother. I have never been touched by any man.â You Meng shook her head nervously, as if afraid Lu Li wouldnât believe her and quickly added, âI can prove it to big brother right now.â
Lu Li slowly closed his eyes, and after a long while, he opened them and looked at the anxious You Meng, his voice slightly gentler, âGet up!â
âBig brotherâŠâ
âI believe what youâve said.â Killing the female leadâs family and moving against Ye Chen, these were things he could find out about right away. Although You Mengâs words were extreme, displaying an obsession that seemed to only exist in novels, he quite liked it.
âThen, big brotherâŠâ
âFrom now on, youâll stay at my house, as a nanny. I happen to need a servant.â
âThank you, big brother, thank you so much.â You Mengâs eyes welled up with excited tears. She had worked for Ye Chen for so long, and this time, even though she hadnât fulfilled big brotherâs request to deal with Ye Chen, big brother still allowed her to stay by his side.
âAs long as I can stay by big brotherâs side, anything is fine.â
Lu Li slowly closed his eyes again, his heart also complex. The murderer who killed him in his past life had now come to his side this life, displaying such a lovestruck appearance. Truly, life is full of uncertainties, a twist of fate indeed!
He knew what he liked was this kind of favoritism, but if he forgave You Meng today, would he be able to forgive that bitch Zhang Ziqin next time?
âNo, absolutely impossible. In my previous life, I indeed never mentioned my name in front of You Meng; her not recognizing me and what she did is understandable, but Zhang ZiqinâŠthat woman is my sworn enemy. The humiliation time after time, that heart-wrenching pain, how could I let it go?â
Remembering the day of the banquet, how Zhang Ziqin had poured that cold glass of red wine, leaving him aside to happily chat with Ye Chen, a surge of malevolence arose within Lu Li.
No one dictated that Zhang Ziqin had to fall in love with him, but if she didnât love him, why hurt him? Enjoying the conveniences brought by him, relishing the emotions he had sacrificed everything to offer. To change his destiny, Lu Li had even fallen in love with Zhang Ziqin sincerely. But what did Zhang Ziqin do? While enjoying, she hurt him; possibly, she felt exhilarated by the attention, perhaps even smug about having such a devoted follower!
Heh!
âLu LiâŠâ Chen Xiaoyi held Lu Liâs hand worriedly.
âItâs alright. But are you okay? You werenât scared, were you?â Stability returning to his tumultuous emotions, Lu Li stroked Chen Xiaoyiâs hair.
âIâm fine.â The moment You Meng mentioned she had killed the entire Zhao family, she was indeed frightened, not to mention the two fingers of Ye Chen.
But You Meng adjusted quickly. As long as it was what Lu Li wished for, that was what Chen Xiaoyi intended to do.
If it were her, she would also ruthlessly deal with those people.
âThrow these dirty things away to feed the dogs.â He commanded You Meng, his tone neither gentle nor distant but carrying a trace of coldness.
As the woman said, as long as she could stay by his side, anything was fine. Being a maid was also staying by his side.
