Chapter 159: 159 Leave room for maneuver (Third Watch)

"That little slut has latched onto the Shang family, hasn’t she?"

Her Ling’er is not bad either, Jun Ao may be a notch below the Shang family, but it is also a well-known group in China mainland.

What’s more important is that her Ling’er is the lifesaver of the president of Jun Ao Group.

Just on that point, she can’t compare to Ling’er at all.

Could that little slut even invite the president of the Shang family to her home as a guest?

I bet the Shang family decided to invest in Chu Group out of respect for that short-lived ghost, Chu Liyan!

Her Ling’er’s got real talent!

"I know, Mom, don’t worry, President Mo and I have a life-saving bond, and he has long said he wanted to visit our home, it was me who stopped him from coming," said Zhao Yiling as she raised her eyes to glance at Chu Jin, then continued, "Well, I’ll be going now, see you later, little sister."

Chu Jin’s lips curled slightly, ignoring her provocation, and said indifferently, "See you."

President Mo of Jun Ao?

If she remembered correctly, Jun Ao ranked third in the business standings on China mainland.

This Zhao Yiling’s got some capability indeed.

With the little girl and bread in tow, Chu Jin directly passed through the living room and left the Zhao family villa.

Li Ruyu’s face looked somewhat displeased.

This little slut’s guts are really getting bigger by the day, not only daring to bring all kinds of improper things back to the villa, but now, when she sees me, it’s like she doesn’t see me at all, not even bothering to greet me!

She’s become increasingly unruly!

Forget it, forget it, she’s going into the coffin soon anyway! I won’t stoop to her level!

With the little girl and bread, Chu Jin walked towards a breakfast shop she frequented.

The little girl took a bite of the meat bun and was filled with happiness, "Jin bro, these buns are really delicious."

The bread at her side also whined in agreement.

Chu Jin thought: This silly child can’t possibly be eating meat buns for the first time, can she?

Elsewhere, at the Mo family.

Zheng Chuyi sat in the living room waiting for Mo Zhixuan to return. It had been several days since she last saw him, ever since the day he used Bone Eroding Water to solidify the Blood Jade Bracelet, she hadn’t seen him since.

Considering the days, the bloodlust of the Blood Jade Bracelet should have been cleansed by now, and he should be back.

She was still waiting for him to give her the Blood Jade Bracelet.

Thinking this, suddenly there was a noise at the door, footsteps!

Zheng Chuyi’s heart pounded, she lifted her hand to adjust her hair, then lowered her gaze to check her bosom.

Today, she was wearing a low-cut red dress, her chest heaving mightily, revealing a tantalizing cleavage.

The footsteps got closer, and Zheng Chuyi’s excitement grew.

"Zhixuan," Zheng Chuyi looked up with a smile, which then froze on her lips, and the brightness in her eyes gradually dimmed as she turned to the newcomer with some disappointment, "Oh, it’s Qingyi who’s back."

"It’s me," Mo Qingyi picked up an apple from the coffee table, nibbling on it as she spoke, "What? Were you waiting for my brother?"

Zheng Chuyi smiled sweetly, speaking softly, "I haven’t seen Zhixuan for days. Qingyi, do you know where he went?"

"Who knows," Mo Qingyi said, seemingly nonchalant, "He might have gone to find his fiancée, huh. What’s the use of dressing like that? My brother still doesn’t fancy you!"

Tsk tsk tsk!

Wearing a low-cut dress? Thinking of seducing her brother with her beauty?

What a pipe dream.

Mo Qingyi had always been at odds with Zheng Chuyi, so whenever she got the chance, she loved to torment her.

This had become one of her daily interests at the Mo family.

Zheng Chuyi knew that Mo Qingyi was intentionally targeting her.

But, so what?

As long as Mo Zhixuan’s heart had room for her, that was enough. Once she became the mistress of the Mo family, she would definitely marry off Mo Qingyi, this lowly secular person, far away, so that she could never get close to the Mo family again!

"Qingyi, what you’re saying isn’t right," Zheng Chuyi’s lips curled into a smile. "I knew your brother before you were even born. We grew up together like childhood sweethearts, and I hope you can let go of your prejudices against me sooner rather than later. Otherwise, it would put Zhixuan in a difficult position between us."

"If my brother likes you so much, why would he be engaged to someone else?" Mo Qingyi raised an eyebrow. "Do you know that what you’re doing now is shameful? This is called interfering in someone else’s relationship, being the third party."

Zheng Chuyi’s hand hidden in her sleeve tightened, and deep anger flashed across her face, yet she dared not show it.

Last time, the old lady of the Mo family had made it clear to her that if she caused any trouble, she might really not be able to stay at the Mo family any longer.

For Mo Zhixuan, she just had to endure!

If this were in the Superpower World, someone like Mo Qingyi, a lowly secular person, would have died hundreds of times over!

How dare a mere secular person speak to her like this!

"Qingyi, after all, we are going to be family," Zheng Chuyi affectionately took Mo Qingyi’s hand. "It’s not good to be too absolute in what you say. Haven’t you heard the saying? Leave some leeway, so you’ll have room to meet in the future."

"Speak if you want to speak, but don’t touch!" Mo Qingyi drew her hand back with some disgust, raising an eyebrow. "Oh, I’m really sorry, but I just like to be very definitive. You want to become part of the family? Heh, wait and see if you’ll have that chance in your next life."

Zheng Chuyi’s face turned pale with anger. She had thought that if she lowered her stance, this secular person would slowly accept her.

She had not expected to be treated with such disrespect!

When had she ever had to speak humbly to someone from the secular world?

Had this been in the past, such a mere secular person wouldn’t even be qualified to carry her shoes.

She hadn’t expected that, here, she would have to endure the insolence of a secular person!

Once she secured her position as the head mistress of the Mo family, she was determined to claim back today’s humiliation, with interest.

"What are you glaring at me for!" Mo Qingyi glared back at her. "What I say is the truth, just think about it — you dress up and flutter around my brother every day, has he even given you an extra glance?"

Zheng Chuyi clenched her fists in humiliation!

Since this secular person was being so ungrateful, there was no need for her to continue pretending.

"What does a lowly secular person like you understand!" A cold chill flashed in Zheng Chuyi’s beautiful eyes, and her stunning features twisted slightly. "One day, you will regret what you said today!"

With that, she flung her sleeves and strode out the door.

Since Mo Zhixuan wasn’t coming back, she had to go to him herself.

Lowly secular person!?

Mo Qingyi narrowed her eyes as she watched Zheng Chuyi’s retreating figure. Calling her a lowly secular person, who did she think she was?

Zheng Chuyi, this fairy, was still hopelessly throwing herself at her brother!

Her mother really made a mistake by keeping such a woman at the Mo family!

**

Leaving the breakfast shop.

The little girl happily patted her belly. "Wow, I’m so full, Jin, the buns here are so delicious."

Just then.

Chu Jin’s phone suddenly rang, showing a string of unfamiliar incoming call numbers.

Chu Jin hesitated for a moment, then slid to answer. A sweet female voice immediately came through, "Hello, is this Miss Chu?"

"Hello, I am."

"Miss Chu, hello. I am Ai Na, the special assistant to President Mo of Jun Ao Group. The reason I’m calling is to discuss with you. Does Chu Group, under your name, have any intention of selling? We at Jun Ao can offer you..."

Ai Na hadn’t finished her sentence when she was interrupted by Chu Jin, "I’m sorry, I’m not selling Chu Group."
