When she heard about the disappearance of Ye Wen from Cao Jiaye, she came up with a brilliant idea.
Three months earlier, she attended a hotel for an event and incidentally left the hotel one after another with Ye Wen. The paparazzi, aware that she was one of the lovers to a big player, had been hanging around for a period of time but couldn't pick up anything helpful. She did not think the paparazzi would assume Ye Wen was her backer.
But today, this random affair turned into her best cover.
As long as she is regarded as Ye Wen's mistress, even if Fu Rui doubts, the connection between their families makes her hard to suspect.
Lu Meng licks her dry lips. "…Really, is there really no accident? If Ye Wen returns alive…"
And then she would be worse off than provoking Fu Rui!
"Ye wen is nowhere to be found in Africa, where the Ebola epidemic is erupting. He cannot return alive," Cao Jiaye insists over the phone.
By now, Cao Jiaye is even more impatient. "The plan was what you imagined. Are you regretting it now? Fine, if you regret it in the future, then go and dispose of the child."
No, I do not regret it. It is just… Gu Fenyi… something's wrong with Gu Fenyi."
"What could be amiss with her? Is she crazy? That’s better! that she is mad. The madder she gets, the more natural it would appear. Then Fu Rui would have nothing to question about your identity."
"She's crazy… but this time, it's not merely breaking up antiques in the Ye House or clamoring to keep me hidden in the snow. She actually hit people…"
Why are you making big deal about it? The Ye family desires face. Apart from that, if Ye Wen doesn't return, they'll surely guard you if you claim that you're pregnant with his child. This 'only bloodline of Ye Wen'—how can she assault you? What are you scared of?"
"But Ye Wenbo can't stop her."
"…"
"Where are the bodyguards of the Ye family?
"She even dared to strike Ye Wenbo and Jiang Jing, and the bodyguards couldn't hold her back! I'm afraid… You know what sort of whip she's carrying. The belt's as thick as my fingers. If she strikes it on my body, your son's gone… Do you truly not care?" Lu Meng says, sounding afraid and wronged, with just the right touch of acting, as she begins to cry softly.
Lu Meng weeps helpless and pitiful.
Cao Jiaye eases up on the tone. "Why are you crying? What's the problem? She slapped Jiang Jing, right? Alright, alright, I'll inform the Jiang family about this. When the Jiang family gets to know about this, she won't be able to fight with you."
Lu Meng manages to get out some words in reply, flattering him a bit, assuring him that she can manage, and then puts down the phone.
As soon as the phone is tucked away, Lu Meng drops drops her crying expression.
She gives the driver a card.
The driver nods at once knowingly. "Miss Lu, don't worry, I'm Mr. Cao's man. I won't speak outside."
Lu Meng lets out a sigh of relief.
She cannot lose in this fight!
What other women can't do, she will.
