Chapter 70: You Meng: I Can Kill Them for You
âBig brotherâŠâ Right after work, You Meng, dressed as a maid, joyfully ran up to Lu Li, bent down considerately, and changed his shoes for him.
Honestly, who could dislike such a woman? Even Lu Li found it hard to harbor any resentment towards her.
But he was afraidâafraid that if he forgave You Meng, then what would his hostility towards Zhang Ziqin and the others mean?
Did it mean that as long as those women made a significant enough sacrifice, he could forgive them? That if they showed some guilt towards him, he would throw himself into their arms in eagerness?
Lu Li couldnât respect such a version of himself.
âThe bathwater is ready, and dinner is made. Big brother, would you like to eat first, or take a bath, or maybeâŠâ
With a finger on her lips, You Meng in her black silk maid outfit looked at Lu Li with a seductive gaze, her youthful vitality brimming, yet irresistibly alluring.
The words she uttered were even more intoxicating.
âForget forgiveness for now! Why not enjoy the perks at hand?â
Lifting You Mengâs face, Lu Li gazed at her familiar features: âLet the bathwater stay warm for now; we can eat later. I want to lie down for a bit.â
âAlso, from now on, call me Master.â
âYes, big brother, Master.â Submissively placing her cheek on Lu Liâs palm, You Meng was like a docile kitten, obedient to Lu Liâs every word, a hint of joy flashing across her pure face.
Does this mean big brother has initially forgiven me?
She knew big brother harbored grievances against her, since she had always worked for Lu Li, but You Meng wouldnât blame her big brother. Seeing him again was the best gift from heaven. In her last life, she regretted not saving her big brother in time, the biggest regret of her life.
In this house, Chen Xiaoyi was big brotherâs first woman. In this life, being by big brotherâs side, she never did anything to betray him, deeply loved by him. Miss Cao Yingying was even more serene and gentle. Her protection of big brother in her previous life moved You Meng deeply.
She couldnât afford to offend either of them.
Being a good little maid for big brother was enough.
Kneeling on the sofa, Lu Li rested his head on her silky legs.
âDid you watch the news today?â Lu Li asked.
Gently massaging Lu Liâs temples, You Meng responded, âNo, what happened?â
âYour former master, his news has vanished. Seems like he found a backer!â Lu Li commented with his eyes closed, enjoying the fragrance coming from You Meng. Had she sprayed perfume on purpose?
You Mengâs hand suddenly stiffened: âMaster, Ye Chen wasnât my master.â
âOh!â Opening his eyes, Lu Li looked at You Meng, noncommittal, âWhat do you think about his news disappearance?â
âMost of Ye Chenâs power is overseas, within an underground organization called the Sky Dragon Organization. But domestically, Ye Chen has some connections too. Iâve heard him mention that his maternal grandfatherâs family wields considerable power. Master, you have to be careful,â You Meng said, setting aside her personal feelings for a moment, her seriousness evident.
âChen family of Magic City, Ye Chenâs maternal family, the current head is Ye Chenâs grandfather. The Chen family controls over half of the countryâs underworld forces. Birds of a feather flock together, truly living up to their reputation,â Lu Li wasnât surprised, well-acquainted with these matters.
âMaster, I can go kill the head of the Chen family for you. Just say the word, and Iâll do it,â You Mengâs eyes flashed with a murderous intent, viewing anyone harmful to her big brother as an enemy.
âThereâs no need; I have my ways for such matters. As for you, bring me a pair of scissors.â
âOkayâŠâ Obediently reaching for the scissors on the coffee table, she handed them to Lu Li.
Lu Li flipped over, starting to cut along You Mengâs black silk-clad legs.
âMmâŠâ
Her pure face blushed unnaturally, You Meng covering her mouth tightly.
âDidnât expect big brother to like this? SoâŠnaughty! But I love it!!â
How to handle You Meng was indeed troubling for Lu Li. Speaking of the previous life, aside from the possibility that this girl might have killed Lu Li without knowing he was her big brother, she didnât really do anything wrong.
But oneâs life being ended by her? How could that be easily forgiven, not to mention she had worked for Ye Chen.
Just that alone made him uncomfortable.
Although You Meng proved her loyalty, and Lu Li was sure she was clean, he couldnât shake off the discomfort in his heart.
Truth be told, this woman didnât fall in love with Ye Chen as the plot suggested; she might have been searching for him all along in her previous life. Lu Li was moved, butâŠ
Sigh!
Let it be for now. Maybe after dealing with Zhang Ziqin, heâd be able to make a decision.
What Lu Li feared the most was that once he forgave You Meng, he might also forgive Zhang Ziqin. That one point, he couldnât accept. If he forgave Zhang Ziqin, then what did solving Lu Ya mean?
Wouldnât that all have been meaningless?
You Mengâs unhesitating favoritism, even stronger than Chen Xiaoyiâs, was something Lu Li really enjoyed.
âTell me, is the hatred from humiliating someone deeper, or from killing someone?â Looking at blushing You Meng, Lu Li suddenly asked this question.
You Mengâs eyes sparkled, her gaze filled with happiness. For her, waiting for Lu Liâs return every day was the happiest thing. Looking at Lu Li, she exuded tender affection.
âOf course, the hatred from killing someone is deeper!â she answered without hesitation.
âLetâs put it another way. Two people humiliate you, one is your relative, the other is a woman you once did everything to treat well. And the person who killed you was a stranger at that time. Between these two situations, which breeds more resentment?â Lu Liâs gaze shifted slightly, posing a more specific question.
Frowning, You Meng thought of Lu Ya and Zhang Ziqin. Their betrayal and humiliation of big brother made You Meng feel indignant on his behalf.
âIn that case, it should be the humiliation from those closer to the person that brings deeper hatred. Their closer relationship makes their humiliation more damaging,â her eyes flashed with murderous intent.
In this life, Lu Ya was expelled from the Lu family, but she better pray not to be seen by You Meng; she definitely wouldnât be courteous.
âIs that soâŠâ
No wonder his hatred for Zhang Ziqin and Lu Ya was almost surpassing that for Ye Chen.
Indeed, those who hurt you the most are always the ones closest to you.
