"Who asked you to die?!"
Ye Qiuran was shaking with silent rage. Lu Mingye's voice somehow came clear to her mind. Was he really lying? If he was, why didn't he explain to her?
Ye Guanguan sent a WeChat message and he went to see her willingly. He didn't love Ye Guanguan at all, did he?
Filled with anger, Ye Qiuran's eyes slowly narrowed. She stared in the distance, having a sudden idea.
"Get me my clothes."
Lu Heng was confused to see her calming down so quickly. When he had sex with Ye Qiuran, he even bore the thought to die at the worst. He didn't dare to ask for pardon.
"What are you waiting for?"
Ye Qiuran cast a stern glance at Lu Heng. The latter got off the seat and picked up her underclothes thrown aside.
"Lu Heng is really a faithful dog." Ye Qiuran stared coldly at him. The more she thought, the more she hated him.
Minutes later, she crooked her finger at Lu Heng.
Lu Heng stared blankly and asked, "Yes, Second Lady?"
"Dress me up."
Lu Heng didn't dare to get closer to her. He wanted to open the door and leave, but Ye Qiuran seized his arm and asked, "Isn't it what you like?"
Ye Qiuran saw through Lu Heng's love for her long ago, but she scorned whatever he had done for her. Lu Heng was always at her disposal. Since he had sex with her, he had to pay the price.
"I don't dare."
"I said, dress me up! Don't you understand?" said Ye Qiuran, restraining her anger. Right now, she was no longer as elegant as she used to be.
Lu Heng always listened to her. He didn't dare to touch her fair skin, but still lusted for her beautiful body.
"Do you like this?" asked Ye Qiuran.
Her sudden question confused Lu Heng and he shook his head, replying nothing.
Ye Qiuran sneered, pulled up her half-dressed clothes, and kicked Lu Heng away.
"Damn you! Sure, you deserve to be dead! But what does that help? Ye Guanguan is still alive! She wants to snatch what belongs to me!"
Lu Heng was a tall man, but he was as humble as a homeless dog before Ye Qiuran. He just listened, when she was losing temper.
Minutes later, Ye Qiuran stared at Lu Heng with determined eyes.
"You did such a wrong thing. Do you still want to stay?"
"I don't dare. I'll tell Young Master..."
"Tell him the truth? You want to get me killed?" Ye Qiuran stopped him, without a second thought. She didn't mean to expel him. He would help a lot, anyway.
Lu Heng heard her meaningful words, and looked up silently. Ye Qiuran was staring at him with gleaming eyes.
"I know Mingye still loves me. He's just angry because Ye Guanguan married someone else. When she's alive, Mingye won't think of marrying me. I want you... I want you to get rid of Ye Guanguan for me!"
After Ye Qiuran sobered up, she finally realized the key problem. Lu Mingye only liked smart women like her. He yielded to Ye Guanguan for the moment, but it didn't mean he would always yield.
The video on the wedding a couple of days ago was exposed. His image and reputation were greatly ruined. But Lu Mingye was born ambitious. He needed a clever woman like Ye Qiuran and he wouldn't leave her!
When Lu Heng didn't respond for a long time, Ye Qiuran narrowed her eyes and asked, "You don't want to help me? Don't forget what you just did to me!"
"I'll help."
Lu Heng wasn't scared at all. He just couldn't believe Ye Qiuran would forgive him so easily.
Ye Qiuran dressed herself up and rubbed Lu Heng's hair as if stroking a dog.
"Do it for me. I'll let you continue working for your young master without concern."
As Lu Heng lowered his head, his eyes flashed. He nodded earnestly and replied, "Thank you, Second Lady."
Ye Qiuran was checking her appearance when Lu Heng's phone suddenly rang. She was in a flap. Lu Heng paused. It was the call from Lu Mingye. Was he worried about her?
"Why aren't you back yet? Haven't you picked up Miss Ye?"
Lu Mingye called only because he needed to use the car, only to find the driver and the car weren't home.
Ye Qiuran looked a bit odd. She cleared her throat, calmed herself down and took over the phone from Lu Heng's hand.
"He picked me up."
She sounded a bit cold. In case she kept bothering him, Lu Mingye said slowly in a softer tone, "I'm really busy today. Qiuran, you know we've got a lot to do. You understand, don't you?"
"Mingye, why did you say that to her today?"
"I was lying to her. How would I like such a stupid woman? Don't you trust me?"
Ye Qiuran wasn't an immediate family member of the Ye family. But since she was little, she lived in the Ye family with her parents. She regarded herself as the real daughter of the Ye family.
Without Ye Guanguan, she would have helped Lu Mingye fulfil his dream.
"I trust you."
"Good girl, ask Lu Heng to drive you home then."
"Okay."
Lu Mingye hung up first. Ye Qiuran had a sudden idea again. So far, Ye Guanguan had left her family. She and Lu Mingye would just stick to their original plan.
If Ye Guanguan didn't interfere, she would keep her alive for the moment.
In the darkness, the car started. In the meantime, Lu Jinting made a turn and headed for their own home.
"Shouldn't we go back and explain to Grandpa?"
Ye Guanguan felt apologetic. She ran away today, leaving Lu Jinting alone in the Lu family to cope with the follow-up problem.
Lu Jinting stroked Ye Guanguan's face lovingly. He appreciated it already when she felt sorry.
"I explained to Grandpa for you and he understood it."
Ye Guanguan had to admire Lu Jinting.
Even though she snatched a military car and ran away, he managed to explain?
"But I don't think my aide could understand."
The aide had worked for Lu Jinting for many years. He also saw how embarrassed Ye Guanguan was in the living room several days ago. It was hard to explain to the aide then.
"Mister," Ye Guanguan gave Tuanzi, who had fallen asleep on their way back home, to the nursemaid and asked innocently, "Can we just kill him?"
WHAT? Lu Jinting was drinking water, and he nearly choked himself. "He's an important civil servant," replied he.
"Oh, that makes it more difficult."
Ye Guanguan collapsed into the sofa, wondering what she could do. She nearly twisted her fingers like twines.
What was Ye Guanguan thinking? She looked innocent, but she asked if she could kill a civil servant just to cover up her awkwardness.
Chuckling, Lu Jinting held her into his arms and kissed her bright forehead.
"It's okay. I paid for the crashed car already. Zhang didn't dare to argue."
Oh, Zhang was the aide's name.
Ye Guanguan gave a mysterious smile and proposed, "Well, it's kind of embarrassing. Why don't we invite him to diner someday? Oh, no... Am I trying to bribe a civil servant?"
Lu Jinting lowered his head and replied in a muffled voice, "Yes, I guess."
Ye Guanguan put on an awkward look and said, "What should I do then..."
"Shouldn't you bribe me now? Mm?"
