My Evil Cinderella: Taming A Villainous Wife Chapter 129 - He's Sick

"Do you know that he even called my husband just to give you the antidote? He went that far, just so that you can live." s.h.i.+ Enxi said besides Jiang Yan and held her hand. "You don't know how much I wanted to kill him for telling my husband about it. If not for my husband's kindness, Hao Qiang will be long dead."

s.h.i.+ Enxi saw Jiang Yan's complicated look and just like what she wanted, the concerned look on her eyes was enough to get things according to her plan.

It was scary... s.h.i.+ Enxi's mind games we're scary to the point of even making Jiang Yan believe that Hao Qiang actually liked her when in reality, he was just ordered by s.h.i.+ Enxi to lie.

Lu Mello knew that s.h.i.+ Enxi was playing with fire by trying to deceive Jiang Yan. If Jiang Yan found out the truth behind Hao Qiang's 'feelings', things could go wrong.

Jiang Yan is one of their important cards to get to Chen Gao and Xin Jun. Once she agreed on being their spy, it would be easier to gather evidence against s.h.i.+ Anhao would be next. 

"I know that what I did to you was wrong but it was all to protect myself and the child I am carrying. If I allowed you to do what you want... You would have killed me, right?" This time s.h.i.+ Enxi was putting another act.

Jiang Yan finally faced s.h.i.+ Enxi. 

She was right, if s.h.i.+ Enxi didn't capture her first, she would have killed her already... Under Chen Gao's orders of course.

"Besides, we wouldn't have found out the truth behind your parents' death if things didn't go like this."

"Get straight to the point." Jiang Yan stared blankly at her.

She was still mad at s.h.i.+ Enxi and she still hated her after what she did to her. Aside from that, she almost became crazy. If not for Hao Qiang who was loyal to s.h.i.+ Enxi, she would have attacked the b.i.t.c.h the moment she saw her earlier.

"We want you to be our spy against Chen Gao." Lu Mello finally spoke up. 

Jiang Yan turned to Lu Mello, a frown on her face. "Why should I work for you?"

"Chen Gao killed my parents. You know that." s.h.i.+ Enxi paused, "He also killed your family, including your siblings, right?"

Jiang Yan wasn't working with Chen Gao yet during the time where her family was killed. She was still leading a normal life so she really didn't know much about anything that happened before she joined Chen Gao's group.

"Alright. I'll help you in one condition."

"Are you sure that we can trust her?" Lu Mello asked while he was driving, heading back home.

"I don't trust her at all but we Hao Qiang to watch over her."

Lu Mello sighed, "I can't believe that you forced Hao Qiang into something like that."

"He said that he didn't mind it." She smirked, "Besides, he's as.e.xual, right? He seems to be doing well in making Jiang Yan believe that he's really into her."

Lu Mello chuckled lightly, "He had his share of relations.h.i.+p in the past."

"He does seem to be the player type..." s.h.i.+ Enxi paused, she looked at Lu Mello in surprised. "He's been in relations.h.i.+ps?"

"Hao Qiang's my roommate during college."

Lu Mello and Hao Qiang seemed to be at the same age. But how did Hao Qiang ended up working under Lu Mello?

As if knowing what s.h.i.+ Enxi, Lu Mello continued, "Hao Qiang's family worked under the Lu family for a long time. His father is my grandfather's right-hand man while his mother was the head maid during my grandmother's time. I was only able to meet Hao Qiang after visiting my great grandfather's place during my younger days."

Arriving at their place, Mo Jing greeted them from the entrance.

"Welcome back Mello, Xixi. Your grandma, Jing Yue is here."

"Grandmom is here?" Lu Mello was surprised by his grandmother's sudden visitation.

"It's been so long since I last saw mother-in-law." s.h.i.+ Enxi excitedly smiled.

Mother-in-law?

Mo Jing turned to s.h.i.+ Enxi in confusion. Shouldn't she address Jing Yue as grandmother too?

Lu Mello chuckled lightly, "Xi'er is Aunt Bingbing's sister so I guess, it is only right that she address grandmom like that."

He turned to s.h.i.+ Enxi and smirked, "Should I call you Auntie?"

s.h.i.+ Enxi frowned deeply, "Quit it. I'm too young to be called that way. Besides, you're way older than me, dear husband."

"Finally, both of you are here." Jing Yue stood up and a gentle smile was plastered on her lips after seeing the two enter the living room.

s.h.i.+ Enxi met Jing Yue a few times during her younger years, it was during the times where Jing Yue would visit Lu Xian Yu's family.

Jing Yue went and gave Lu Mello a hug before she turned to s.h.i.+ Enxi and hugged her as well. "It's so great to see that my two beloved children are together."

s.h.i.+ Enxi smiled, "You should have told us that you are coming here."

"It won't be a surprise anymore if I did. Oh my! Look at this!" Jing Yue placed a hand on s.h.i.+ Enxi's tummy. "What a beautiful baby b.u.mp. I heard from Meimei that you and Mello are expecting a girl. Have you decided on a name?"

"We're planning to name her Xuelan." Lu Mello said with a soft smile.

"Xuelan? That's a beautiful name."

"It's almost time for dinner, you should join us, grandmom." Lu Mello invited.

"Sure, sure. I'll be going to Bingbing's place after dinner."

"Ah, won't you be staying here for the night?" s.h.i.+ Enxi asked, hugging Jing Yue's arm.

"I can't sweetheart. I have already promised Bingbing that I'll be staying in her place. Besides, my son, Xian Yu is sick, I have to check on him."

Lu Mello and s.h.i.+ Enxi was startled by the news that they ended up asking at the same time, "He's sick?"

"Yes. I hope Mengmeng can come back for her father's sake. She's Xian Yu's little girl, I heard that he's been looking for her for a year now and yet, there's no news about her. Even I am starting to get worried."
