“XunMi, the woman I love. Call her sister in law. Respect her. If anyone bullies her, I won’t show mercy.” Ye MingYe looked at everyone, his eyes stopping on Cheng XinYao. “Even if it’s a woman, I won’t show mercy.” Besides his XunMi, any woman was just the same as a man. There was no difference. He didn’t believe in anything like ‘you should never hit a woman’. A man shouldn’t be afraid to protect his loved one, even if the perpetrator was a woman.
Cheng XinYao’s heart grew cold when she saw Ye MingYe’s gaze. Tears fell uncontrollably.
“Boss, XinYao might not be feeling too well today. Don’t think too much about it. I’ll go take her to rest up.” Sang Yu tried to explain. On the inside, she was worried. She had never approved of XinYao liking boss. Now, her dream had finally been broken. But Sang Yu didn’t know if XinYao would be able to move on. She pulled XinYao, wanting to get her upstairs first before anything else happened. But Cheng XinYao didn’t want to go. She didn’t want to admit defeat. She had only left his side for a few months, how could he suddenly just fall in love? That woman was just a little prettier than her. Why did she deserve boss’ love?
“No, I can’t accept this. Boss, why do you like her? What’s good about her? We’ve been with you for so long, but we can’t compare to this person you’ve only known for a few months?” Cheng XinYao’s eyes were wet, blurring her vision. But she could still see this XunMi clearly. She was smiling, as if mocking her for losing.
XunMi had been silently eating his shrimp gumbo. She had planned to ignore that jealous gaze. But why was this girl’s hatred getting stronger and stronger. She hadn’t done anything. She hadn’t even said anything! How did she provoke this woman? Someone, explain this to her. This was a tiring process for her too! She frowned slightly and continued eating. Forget it, she’ll endure it for her husband. As long as it wasn’t anything to extreme, she’ll bear with it. She’ll even do her best to avoid the person in the future.
But just because XunMi thought this way, didn’t mean others did too. At least Ye MingYe didn’t want to let his wife be treated in this way. Coincidentally, Cheng XinYao didn’t want to let go of the issue so quickly either. She even wanted to try the emotional route to try to get her boss to come to his senses.
Ling Chen rolled his eyes, but didn’t say anything.
“Don’t go out of line. Don’t pipe up on matters that have nothing to do with you.” Ye MingYe’s eyes flashed quickly with killing intent. Only Xu Yi was able to notice.
He almost jumped in shock. Boss had killing intent towards XinYao! All because of this sister in law? Exactly what kind of charm did she possess? Xu Yi made a decision in his mind. He needed to tell the people around him later to be careful.
XunMi stayed silent. She decided to finish eating first before giving them any attention.
“Boss, how could you say that?” Cheng XinYao couldn’t hold back her tears. “I’ve liked you for so long. Why can’t you see me? Why does she deserve you? What does that fox have that I don’t? What can she do for you?” Cheng XinYao had placed her heart with Ye MingYe from the moment she met him. Now, she couldn’t stop herself. No matter how much the people around her urged her, her heart remained unchanged. She continued to fall deeper and deeper, without any regret.
This time, XunMi’s eyebrows furrowed together. She opened her mouth a little before deciding to stay quiet. Forget it. Just because she wasn’t speaking up didn’t mean she wasn’t angry, okay?
“You don’t need to know what makes her great. It’s just that Ye MingYe has good luck. There is no one on this earth that would deserve XunMi. There’s only people that don’t deserve her, including your boss.” Song ZiQian spoke up coldly, bringing shivers down the group’s spines. Everyone’s back subconsciously straightened when the heard that military soldier’s tone of authority along with his stern face.
But now Ye MingYe was unhappy. His own dear wife didn’t need an outsider speaking up for her. However, he did agree with his words. Ye MingYe nodded his head and emphasized, “That’s correct. I am very lucky in this lifetime. I’ll let you off this time, but there better not be a next time. No matter who you are, you could be expendable.” Ye MingYe didn’t want to speak any more on the matter. No matter how much bulls.h.i.t was said, it was still bulls.h.i.t.
“Boss, don’t think too much about it. XinYao is just a bit emotional right now. I’ll talk to her later tonight. I’ll take her up first. We’ll come back down later.” Sang Yu pulled and dragged XinYao away. She threw her into the room before sternly lecturing her. “XinYao, what are you doing? I’ve already told you that someone like Boss just isn’t compatible with you. He doesn’t like you either. You need to let go. But you never listened. But now do you see? Can you finally see reality now?” Sang Yu’s round eyes glared down at the woman sitting up on the bed hugging her knees. To be honest, if she was their boss, she would also choose the girl that they had just met. Sang Yu sighed and turned to leave. She hoped that XinYao would be able to think things through quickly.
She returned to the main living room, where everyone was chatting leisurely.
“That’s right, sister in law. Ming Liang wants to see you.” Ling Chen remembered. When he had gone to pick up Xu Yi in the afternoon, they had run into Ming Liang. Ling Chen didn’t have a good impression of anyone in the Ming family. He didn’t care too much about what the other man said but still remembered to relay the message.
XunMi leaned into the sofa. She smiled mysteriously. “He only wants to use the power we have. Big brother really is overly confident. Ling Chen, can you tell him that I can help him. Give me twenty level four energy stones, one hundred level three energy stones, and two hundred level two energy stones.” Level four was the highest level known for zombies. It was equal to a level five human. Ming family was able to find stable grounding at the base largely because Ming Liang had a level four ability.
“Try to make the offer hard for him to refuse. Everything he sacrifices now is just an investment. When he becomes the leader of the base, this payment would seem like a small sum. Got it?” XunMi’s smile widened like a fox.
Ling Chen’s eyes brightened. He nodded immediately. “Understood! Sister in law, don’t worry. I’m guaranteed to get this done!” He could already imagine Ming Liang’s face twisted as he unwillingly gave him the energy stones.
