Meng Shiliang was really worried about her.

She had lost her mother since she was young, and there was something wrong with her brain. No matter how well he had treated her all these years, he felt that he could not make it up to her.

Now that she had finally married someone, he hoped that she would only seek peace instead of wealth in the future,

“Dad, I will handle this matter.” Meng Ying didn’t think that his worry was unnecessary. Instead, she felt warmth in her heart.

In the Honesty World, she was just an indifferent killing machine. No one had ever worried about her safety, only about whether her mission was completed.

Having been reborn here, she was satisfied with the family that loved and cared about her.

Meng Shiliang could not help but worry.

He knew Meng Ying very well.

After her illness, she did not go to school much and had only read a few books. Even though she looked normal and spoke logically now, he still could not let her go.

After all, this was not a small matter.

“Dad, trust her. She said that she would handle it well,” Mu Yuansheng finally said.

Meng Shiliang didn’t trust Meng Ying, but he trusted Mu Yuansheng.

He sighed heavily. “Yuansheng, you are Yingying’s husband. She will need to depend on you for the rest of her life. You must take good care of her.”

“Don’t worry, I will ensure her safety.” Mu Yuansheng’s voice was calm, but it was full of power and strangely convincing.

Meng Shiliang sighed. “I’m relieved to hear that.”

…

After Meng Shiliang left, Meng Ying stared at Mu Yuansheng without blinking.

Mu Yuansheng felt uncomfortable under her gaze and asked, “Aren’t your eyes sore?”

“Hmph, saying one thing and meaning another,” Meng Ying turned around arrogantly.

“Since when did I say one thing and mean another?”

“You clearly didn’t want to talk to me, yet you told my dad that you would protect me for the rest of my life. I don’t believe you.”

Mu Yuansheng found her rather adorable.

He beckoned to her. “Come here.”

“No.” He had spurned her yesterday, and so the tables have turned today.

Mu Yuansheng was amused.

He held back. “Let’s have a nice chat.”

“I don’t want to talk to you.”

“Can those underlings of yours keep an eye on Shan Wu?” Mu Yuansheng didn’t care whether she was willing or not and directly changed the topic.

Meng Ying remained silent.

However, she was already thinking about the question he had asked.

To put it bluntly, Zhang Wei and Zhou Yang were hedonistic young masters who knew how to have fun, and they could only win fights if there were many people helping them. So, if they really met someone who had real fighting skills, they would probably be knocked down in minutes.

Ordinary people would not dare to act rashly if they knew Shan Wu was handed over to them. However, if Cheng Xiangyao played dirty, they probably would not be able to beat him.

She could not abandon Shan Wu.

Speaking of underlings, it was time she should recruit a few useful ones.

They would come in handy at times like this.

“I’ve already asked Ah Da to protect them.” Mu Yuansheng knew what she was worried about when he saw her silence.

Meng Ying finally looked at him. “So nice of you?”

“Some things aren’t just empty words.” Mu Yuansheng’s expression was a little unnatural when he said that.

But Meng Ying looked better.

She walked over awkwardly and sat beside him. She nudged him with her elbow.

Mu Yuansheng frowned and moved to the side.

Meng Ying leaned over again. This time, she nudged him using more force.

Mu Yuansheng turned around. “What?”

“Do you want that stone?”

“No.”

“Then can I sell it?”

“Suit yourself.”

Meng Ying thought for a while. “If you don’t like that stone, I’ll prepare another gift for you.”

“No need.”

Meng Ying leaned over again and placed her hands on his shoulders. She looked at his beautiful side profile. “You will like it.”

Her voice was warm and soft, while the breath she blew on his face was wet and warm. His eyes moved slightly, and he looked a little uncomfortable. Smelling the faint scent of wintersweet on her body, his throat tightened, making him want to swallow his saliva.

“If you want to talk, just sit down and talk properly.” When could she change this habit of leaning on him for no reason?

Meng Ying didn’t let go of him. Instead, she leaned closer. “Hubby, are you free later?”

Her warm breath was like ants crawling all over his neck. It was soft and numb, making it hard for him to sit still.

“What are you going to do?”

“Sell the stone with me.”

…

Mu Yuansheng drove while Meng Ying sat in the front passenger seat. From time to time, she would look at him with her chin resting on her hand. After taking a look, she would take photos with her phone.

A good-looking man would look good no matter what he did.

Even the way he drove was so fascinating.

Mu Yuansheng wanted to focus, but the woman beside him was too restless.

If he was a man with a weak will, he would have definitely been seduced by her.

The car stopped at the building of the Meng Enterprise. Meng Ying made a call and waited.

“You’re selling the stone to your own family?” Mu Yuansheng was slightly surprised by her actions.

“That’s right.” Meng Ying said, “We should keep the goodies to ourselves.”

Mu Yuansheng asked, “Why didn’t you give it to him directly?”

“Are you stupid? You’re not a rich second-generation heir. How can our child be a rich second-generation heir if you give away something worth hundreds of millions just like that?”

“…”

She had really let her imagination run wild.

Not long after, someone came out of the building.

It was the manager of the procurement department. Meng Ying had seen him before.

“Miss Meng?” The manager was shocked when he received Meng Ying’s call. Now that he saw her in person, he almost lost his composure.

Was this really Miss Meng?

Meng Ying got off the car. “Manager Qu, I’ve already told you my purpose for coming over the phone just now. This is a deal between us. I don’t want my dad to know about this.”

Manager Qu was still in a daze.

Wasn’t Miss Meng a fool? Why did she seem like another person?

“Manager Qu?” Meng Ying called him.

“Oh, I know, I know.” Manager Qu quickly adjusted his state of mind. “I understand what you just said. You have a stone that has jade inside and you want to sell it to us, right?”

“Yes,” Meng Ying said. “You can check the quality of it.”

Manager Qu asked, “Where is the stone?”

“In the car.”

Manager Qu noticed that they were driving a pickup truck and there was something covered by a cloth on the back of it.

‘Why are they treating it so casually?’

“Can I take a look?”

“Of course.”

They were the only ones who would look at a stone that was worth hundreds of millions at the roadside.

Manager Qu was an expert at purchasing stones. It was all thanks to Manager Qu that Meng Jewelry could reach its current state. He had a good eye and good luck.

Therefore, he had been in this high-salary position for many years.

After taking a look, Manager Qu was amazed.

“How is it?” Meng Ying asked.

“This is a rare good product.” Manager Qu loved the stone instantly. “Miss Meng, when did you get this?”

“At the stone gambling event a few days ago.”

Manager Qu widened his eyes. “At Lan Yun Clubhouse? I heard that someone had used 12 million to buy a piece of supreme-grade imperial jade a few days ago. That person was you?”

“Yes.”
