“Is that so? Then let them talk. I’ll get the kitchen to prepare first. You stay behind today as well. Let’s have a good gathering. I’ve been so annoyed recently that I haven’t had the appetite to eat.” Her husband and son were afraid that she would be so worried that she wouldn’t be able to sleep well, so they didn’t tell her exactly what was going on. However, she knew that her husband and son were busy and that the crisis they were facing was very serious.
Furthermore, there were assassination attempts from time to time that made her afraid to go out. Hence, she did not have the appetite to eat.
“Alright.” Ling Wei continued to smile gently.
“Alright, then. Stay here and talk to your grandfather. I’ll go to the kitchen.” Meng Yueman was no stranger to Xue Yun, but she was not very familiar with her either. This was because Xue Yun had replaced her best friend’s position. Hence, even when the Bo family and the Ling family were on good terms, she did not have much contact with Xue Yun.
However, this was the first time they were meeting as in-laws, so she had to give face to her daughter-in-law. Hence, she had to go to the kitchen to personally give some instructions.
“Okay.” Ling Wei smiled as she looked at Old Master Meng, who was sitting beside her.
Old Master Meng met her gaze. It was obvious that he knew.
It was true that Old Master Meng had a problem with his brain.
To put it simply, he was senile.
Although not everyone became muddle-headed when they got old, some people did. It was useless to reason with them.
“Has it started over there?” Old Master Meng asked.
“It’s already started.”
“That’s good.”
“Aren’t you afraid, Grandfather?” Ling Wei suddenly said.
“Am I allowed to be afraid in such a situation?” Old Master Meng’s face was full of fear. They were about to be wiped out, so what was there to be afraid of?
Ling Wei sighed and said, “Only you, Grandpa, are smart enough to see the situation clearly.”
“Junyan has been completely mesmerized by the woman.” Old Master Meng’s heart ached at the thought of his outstanding grandson becoming like this.
“Grandpa, although I’m doing this for the good of the Ling Group, it’s more for the good of the Bo Group. After this incident, it’ll be up to you.” Ling Wei wanted Old Master Meng to bear all the responsibility. Although she knew that no matter what, her relationship with Bo Junyan had completely collapsed after the incident, she was afraid that Bo Junyan would be so angry that she wouldn’t be able to leave the Bo family residence today.
Even if she was prepared, the mastermind wasn’t her. It was the Old Master. If the Old Master were to do everything he could to protect her, her safety would be more guaranteed.
If it wasn’t because she had no choice, Ling Wei actually wouldn’t have wanted to use such a method. This would make her seem like she had low means. Furthermore, this was also the plan with the greatest risk. However, she had no other choice. If she didn’t take the risk, the Ling family would be completely finished. With the Ling family having nothing, she couldn’t even think about her future. Hence, no matter how big the risk was, she had to do it.
“Don’t worry. Even if I end up dying, I will still protect you,” Old Master Meng reassured her. After saying that, he patted Ling Wei’s hand and said, “Grandpa knows that you’re worried sick for the good of the two families. It’s been hard on you. After this matter is done, Junyan will definitely slowly forgive you. Our families will be as good as before.”
“I hope so.” Ling Wei lowered her eyes.
What Ling Wei had told Xue Yun was mostly true. When she was dealing with the large corporation attacking the Ling Group, the CEO’s daughter had taken a fancy to Bo Junyan. Ling Wei knew that the CEO doted on his only daughter and would do anything for her. Hence, she used this point to reach an agreement with that CEO.
