“Sir, you really know how to joke. What can I explain to you?” The first elder laughed with Yuwen Jing on the phone, trying to muddle through. It was early spring, and the weather was cool. However, the sweat on his forehead was gushing out.
“Only you can explain this matter to me. I just want to know, why did the master of the Kennedy family, who usually doesn’t walk around, come to look for you?” Yuwen Jing’s patience had long been exhausted.
Hearing Yuwen Jing mention the master of the Kennedy family, the first elder quivered. He stammered some incoherent excuse.
“Don’t lie to me. I want the truth.”
The usually cunning first elder was forced to lose his composure by Yuwen Jing. In the end, he only squeezed out a dry sentence. “Recently, the Kennedy family has been cooperating with our family. He wants to make friends with us. He wants us to cooperate with him.” The first elder wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, then, he continued, “However, don’t worry, Sir. We rejected him outright. How could we give in so easily for the sake of a small personal relationship? Sir, don’t you think so?”
“If I remember correctly, the contract between us and the Kennedy family has long been signed. They have never had any objection to the distribution of benefits. That’s because our family has always been very generous in this regard.” Yuwen Jing mercilessly exposed the excuse made up by the first elder. “Meng’er just called me and said that she wants to handle this matter personally. This includes you guys. Therefore, I advise you not to hide anything from me. You should know that I have my own ways to know what I want to know. I’ll give you another chance. As long as you tell me honestly, I’ll protect you in front of Meng’er.”
The first elder heard Yuwen Jing mention Chen Meng’er’s name. When he thought of Chen Meng’er’s usual tricks, he could not help but shiver.
He was extremely regretful now. What was he thinking at that time? He had actually schemed against Chen Meng’er.
It wasn’t that the first elder hadn’t seen Chen Meng’er’s methods of dealing with the enemy. Her viciousness wasn’t inferior to their family head at all. To be more precise, Chen Meng’er was even more vicious than their family head.
“Sir, I say. This was really a moment of stupidity on our part. After that, the few of us regretted it. Sir, you must help us put in a good word in front of the future mistress. We didn’t do it on purpose.” The first elder begged for mercy.
However, when the first elder begged for mercy, Yuwen Jing knew that his guess was probably right. This made his face turn cold. Baro and Allen couldn’t help but rub their arms.
“The main reason the master of the Kennedy family came to look for us was because he wanted to form a marriage alliance with our family. The granddaughter of the Kennedy family fell in love with you at first sight. And the master of the Kennedy family was inclined to form a marriage alliance with our family. After the two parties hit it off, the master of the Kennedy family found us. He wanted us to act as a middleman and build a bridge.”
“I’ll give you one more chance. Tell me why the Kennedy family targeted Meng’er. I want to hear the truth. My patience is limited. Don’t beat around the bush with me. You know my temper.” Yuwen Jing’s cold voice cut through the air.
