Chapter 980 To Kill Xu Youning (2)
“Mu Sijue took Yang Shanshan back to his apartment?”
Xu Youning looked calm, but in fact, she was slightly shocked.
She had been with Mu Sijue for a short time, but Mu Sijue’s living habits were so strange that it was difficult for her to forget them.
In City G, Mu Sijue had two houses.
One was the apartment downtown, and the other was the Mu family’s old residence.
Mu Sijue would never take any women back to his houses, except her.
Mu Sijue’s reason was also very strange. He explained that he was not used to the invasion of his territory by ordinary people.
After a long time, Xu Youning realized that Mu Sijue no longer treated her as an outsider at some point. He even allowed her to walk into his world and be a part of his life.
However, it was too late. At that time, she had already returned to Kang Ruicheng and was thinking about how to take revenge on him.
If she remembered correctly, the apartment in City A was arranged for Mu Sijue by Lu Boyan. Even if Mu Sijue did not treat it as his house, it was still his territory.
He brought Yang Shanshan there.
It was a qualitative leap from the hotel to his apartment.
Mu Sijue… must have really accepted Yang Shanshan.
Xu Youning wanted to persuade herself to accept the fact indifferently, but the scene of Mu Sijue and Yang Shanshan walking side by side into the apartment kept coming to her mind.
She could not help wondering if Mu Sijue had forgotten her so soon.
On second thought, Xu Youning felt that she was being ridiculous.
Mu Sijue was an ordinary young man. Just as he said, Yang Shanshan had a figure that men fantasized about. Why shouldn’t he accept Yang Shanshan?
Since Mu Sijue could enjoy such a flat-chested woman as her, he must have more interest in Yang Shanshan who was an absolute “stunner”.
After mocking herself, Xu Youning still did not calm down. Instead, she felt as if something was burning and tightening in her heart.
After a while, Xu Youning suddenly realized that she was jealous.
Yes, she was jealous of Yang Shanshan.
“A Ning,” Kang Ruicheng suddenly said in a sharp tone, “What are you thinking of?”
Xu Youning was obviously absent-minded. The point was that they had just talked about Mu Sijue.
Kang Ruicheng stared at Xu Youning intently, as if he did not want to miss any of her subtle expressions.
Xu Youning realized that she had made a stupid mistake. She calmly stopped thinking about Mu Sijue and looked into Kang Ruicheng’s eyes. “You don’t have to investigate Yang Shanshan. I know her.”
“What a coincidence!” Kang Ruicheng still stared at Xu Youning and asked, “What’s the relationship between Yang Shanshan and Mu Sijue?”
Xu Youning answered directly and bluntly, “Now it seems that she is his s.e.xual partner.”
Not only Kang Ruicheng and Dongzi, but also the subordinates standing aside were stunned.
Kang Ruicheng motioned for Dongzi and the others to go out before asking, “Tell me more details. I want to know whether Yang Shanshan is important to Mu Sijue or not.”
“She’s quite important.” Xu Youning did not think too much about it and told the truth. “The Mu family and the Yang family have been friends for generations. Mu Sijue can’t ignore Yang Shanshan.”
Kang Ruicheng stroked his chin with a meaningful look. “I see.”
Only then did Xu Youning realize that Kang Ruicheng was inquiring about Yang Shanshan so he could estimate her value.
She frowned and said, “You’d better not have designs on Yang Shanshan. The power of the Yang family in City G cannot be underestimated. It’s not difficult for them to extend their influence to City A. You can indeed threaten Mu Sijue by targeting Yang Shanshan, but at the same time, you’ll have a powerful enemy like the Yang family. It’s not worth it.”
Xu Youning did not know if Kang Ruicheng listened to her, and he just replied, “Okay, I’ll see what I can do.”
Not long after, Dongzi came in and said, “Brother Cheng, we made an appointment with Auston at nine o’clock. It’s time to go.”
Kang Ruicheng got up and glanced at Xu Youning. “Come with us.”
“Me?” Xu Youning pointed at herself in surprise. “I had a negotiation with Auston, but I failed. Since you’ll be seeing him in person this time, you don’t need me, do you?”
Kang Ruicheng said firmly, “It’s an order!”
Xu Youning stopped trying to d.i.c.ker and she got up and followed Kang Ruicheng to the Huaihai Bar.
Yang Shanshan arrived earlier than Xu Youning and Mu Sijue.
When she arrived at the bar, she found that she had been here more than an hour ahead of the appointed time. She was distressed and wanted to call Mu Sijue and ask him if he could pick her up earlier.
She did not want to stay here alone.
Auston was in the private room, and his men told him that Kang Ruicheng had not come yet, but a beautiful woman had already arrived. Auston had thought that it was Xu Youning, but he did not expect it to be Yang Shanshan, who had been obsessed with Mu Sijue for many years.
Auston considered very seriously whether he should avoid her or not. Otherwise, once Miss Yang discovered how handsome and charming he was, she would definitely fall in love with him.
In that case, he would be in big trouble.
Before Auston came up with an answer, Yang Shanshan had taken out her mobile phone and found Mu Sijue’s number.
Auston sighed silently, walked over, took away Yang Shanshan’s mobile phone and put it back in her bag, and looked at Yang Shanshan with a slight smile.
It was rare for Yang Shanshan to be treated so rudely, so she was a little angry. “What’s wrong with you?”
“Mu told you to come after 10 o’clock. Since you’re early, just wait here. Don’t call him.”
Others might not believe it, but Auston did it for Yang Shanshan’s good.
Mu Sijue hated being disturbed the most. Since he had asked Yang Shanshan to come over at 10:30, it meant that he had other things to deal with before 10:30. If Yang Shanshan came early on her own accord and disturbed him, he would hate her even more.
However, Auston’s tone sounded like an order to Yang Shanshan.
Except for Mu Sijue, Yang Shanshan could not stand anyone bossing her around. She suddenly lost her temper and asked sharply, “Who are you? Why are you interfering in my business?”
Auston did not expect that Yang Shanshan, who looked so beautiful, to be such an arrogant and rude virago, and her words were not pleasant at all.
Well, he preferred Xu Youning more, who was sometimes sharp and sometimes cooperative. She was an interesting woman.
Auston remembered that he had an appointment with Kang Ruicheng at nine o’clock. He wondered if Kang Ruicheng would bring Xu Youning with him.
He was looking forward to it.
“OK.” Auston made a compromise. “Since Miss Yang is not willing to listen to me, then please leave. My place is too small to tolerate Miss Yang’s temper.”
Yang Shanshan had never been driven away like this before. In a moment of anger, she picked up her bag and went out.
Auston looked at Yang Shanshan through the window and noticed that Kang Ruicheng had arrived. As soon as Yang Shanshan went out, she would run into Kang Ruicheng.
After thinking about it, he sent a message to Mu Sijue that Yang Shanshan had arrived in advance, and that more importantly, Kang Ruicheng was also here now.
Auston was very clear about Kang Ruicheng’s way of doing things. He never let go of anyone he could use.
Therefore, Auston decided to put aside his prejudice against Yang Shanshan. Whether he liked Yang Shanshan or not, he did not want her to fall into Kang Ruicheng’s hands and become a bargaining chip to threaten Mu Sijue.
Outside, as soon as Yang Shanshan rushed out, she saw Xu Youning getting out of the car. She was stunned for a moment and soon had a strong sense of crisis. “Is Xu Youning also here for Mu Sijue?”
Xu Youning also saw Yang Shanshan. She was amused when she noticed the vigilance on Yang Shanshan’s face at once.
Yang Shanshan had been spoiled since she was a child.
But her love for and obsession with Mu Sijue were so real that she could treat any woman related to Mu Sijue as her imaginary enemy.
However, it was definitely not a good thing for Yang Shanshan to appear here at this time.
If Kang Ruicheng targeted Yang Shanshan, it would be very troublesome for Mu Sijue.
Kang Ruicheng noticed that Xu Youning was absent-minded and followed her gaze, asking, “Who is she?”
“She is Yang Shanshan. It seems that she has something to tell me.” Xu Youning looked at Kang Ruicheng and appeared to be very calm. “You can go in and talk to Auston. I’ll talk to her.”
It was almost time for his appointment, so he had no time to stay outside. He nodded and said, “Be careful. Come in and find me 30 minutes later.”
Xu Youning nodded and walked to Yang Shanshan.
Yang Shanshan looked at her arrogantly and asked, “Why are you here?”
“I have something to do.” Xu Youning threw the question back to Yang Shanshan. “What about you?”
Yang Shanshan did not answer. Instead, she said to Xu Youning sarcastically, “Stop putting on an act. You must be here for Brother Sijue!”
Xu Youning immediately got to the point. “Will Mu Sijue be here too?”
“Yes,” Yang Shanshan snorted and said proudly, “Brother Sijue will pick me up soon!”
Xu Youning thought for a moment and said, “Yang Shanshan, leave now.”
Yang Shanshan did not expect Xu Youning to be so blunt. She was stunned for a moment and then burst into laughter. “Xu Youning, what makes you think you can order me to leave?”
Xu Youning wanted to explain to Yang Shanshan that she could not stay here, and that once she fell into Kang Ruicheng’s hands, she would not only suffer but also make things difficult for Mu Sijue.
However, when she was about to speak, she felt as if her head had been stabbed by countless needles. A sharp pain spread from her head, and everything in front of her became blurred. She could not even see Yang Shanshan, who was close to her, clearly.
The doctor said that she might feel unwell or even lose her sight at any time.
But did it have to happen at this time?
Yang Shanshan was all ready to quarrel with Xu Youning, when she saw that Xu Youning’s face had suddenly turned pale.
Xu Youning lost her usual strength and agility. She seemed to be more like a seriously ill person who had no ability to resist at all.
“She has no ability to resist at all.” This thought kept flashing through Yang Shanshan’s mind.
In the past, it was always Xu Youning who made her suffer one defeat after another. If she attacked Xu Youning now, would she be unable to resist at all?
Moreover, after Xu Youning disappeared, would Brother Sijue pay more attention to her?
Almost in an instant, Yang Shanshan wanted to kill Xu Youning. She took out a Swiss army knife from her bag…
