Chapter 282: Get In!
Everyone whipped their heads around to look at her.
She was walking slowly from inside the house. Even though her leg was crippled but she walked on that pathway like it was a catwalk.
Ye Qin shot her an evil eye. This b*tch is purposely making me look bad!
The sudden face-slap singed Ye Qin’s face. She hoped Mubai wouldn’t look down on her.
Ye Qin tried her best to salvage her lies. "Big sis, you’re home. I remembered you leaving with brother this morning. I must have been mistaken."
Xinghe smirked. "You must go and have your eyes or brain checked then."
"You..." Ye Qin felt pain in her heart.
Mrs. Ye quickly pulled the topic of conversation away. "Xia Meng, it’s perfect that you’re here. CEO Xi has something he wants to discuss with you. CEO Xi, let’s go in and take a seat, I’ll go get someone to brew us a pot of tea."
Mubai stared intensely at Xia Meng, ignoring Mrs. Ye completely.
From the moment Xinghe appeared, his eyes had never left her face. He was afraid he might miss out on any one of her expressions.
He was stunned when he saw Xia Meng because he felt the same aura around this woman that he sensed around Xinghe, the confidence of a queen who ruled over all women. This kind of aura was something that was uniquely Xia Xinghe’s!
Mubai immediately descended from his car and gazed into her eyes. "Do you know why I’m here?"
His voice was shaking a tiny bit and his eyes were fully focused on her face.
His heart was a mixture of excitement and fear, but he had no idea what he was afraid about...
Xinghe met his eyes and hers were also filled with complex emotions. "I know, you must have found something suspicious."
"..." Mubai tightened his jaw and ordered, "Get in the car!"
This was not the place to talk, and he couldn’t wait to find out everything!
Xinghe nodded and followed.
"Wait!" Mrs. Ye stopped her immediately, she asked Mubai rather politely, "Mr. Xi, where are you taking my daughter-in-law?"
The term ’daughter-in-law’ struck Mubai’s nerve.
"My dealings are none of your business!" he growled at her.
Mrs. Ye was stunned beyond words. She didn’t expect such a disrespectful treatment from Mubai, her junior...
Even Ye Qin was stunned by his sudden aggression.
Mrs. Ye’s face was red with fury but she still didn’t dare to lash out at him. "Mr. Xi, I don’t think it is out of place to enquire where you’re taking my daughter-in-law. After all, Xia Meng is part of Ye Family."
"From now onwards, I, Xia Meng, have nothing to do with your Ye family, wait for my lawyer’s letter!" Xinghe announced icily before bowing down to get into the car.
"Xia Meng, what do you mean by that?" Mrs. Ye tried to pull her out but was immediately blocked by Mubai’s tall body.
He stared at her coldly. "Mrs. Ye, please conduct yourself with dignity. I will repeat what she said. From now onwards, she has nothing to do with your Ye Family. If you have any dissatisfaction, please feel free to voice them with me anytime you want."
He then went into car and they drove away.
Mrs. Ye was still standing there in shock...
Ye Qin was doing the same.
What just happened? Xia Meng knew Xi Mubai? What is their relationship? And why did Xi Mubai come to Xia Meng’s rescue?
There were too many questions and they squeezed at Mrs. Ye and Ye Qin’s heart.
