Yan Qing bit her lower lip and her face turned paler.

After a long silence, he slowly spoke.

"Fu Wangjin went abroad a few days ago. He... probably doesn't know that I'm in the hospital yet."

Meng Yunxi chuckled, as if mocking her naivety.

"Qingqing, don't be silly. He is Fu Wangjin, who has great connections. Even if he is thousands of miles away, as long as he is willing,... Heh, maybe he already knew it, but just doesn't want to care about you."

Yan Qing's expression was numb, his gaze towards Meng Yunxi gradually lost focus, and then drooped weakly.

"Cousin, emotional matters are like drinking water, only you know whether it is hot or cold."

"I...what can I do?"

The corners of Meng Yunxi's lips slightly raised. Although his expression was concerned, his eyes unconsciously revealed a hint of joy.

"Ah, that's right." He sighed deeply, "I remember that my cousin reminded you not long ago. I just didn't expect that he would dislike you so quickly."

Meng Yunxi paused, and seemed to advise her kindly,

"Qingqing, now your aunt, uncle, and cousin Yanjin are all gone. You are alone outside without anyone to rely on, which is really worrying. Why don't you come back to the Meng family after Fu Wangjin has completely broken up with you?"

Yan Qing looked up at him blankly, "You said... go back to the Meng family?"

"Yes!" Meng Yunxi thought he had convinced her and could not help but nod repeatedly, unable to hide his excitement.

"Your mother and my mother are sisters. We are both descendants of our grandmother and have similar blood... This blood relationship that is as close as a broken bone but still connected by tendons cannot be changed by anyone. According to the Meng family's custom, you and your brother should have been children of the Meng family!"

"But..." Yan Qing lowered her head bitterly, "I know grandpa doesn't like us. He doesn't like mom, and he doesn't like my dad even more, so he won't like me."

"Grandpa is old!"

Meng Yunxi spoke in an anxious tone, but he quickly came to his senses and began to make amends for himself.

"He is old, and many of his ideas are wrong. As the younger generation, why should we bother with him? Besides, my mother is in charge of the Meng family now. Even if grandpa doesn't like it... it's hard for him to say anything."

Yan Qing still didn't say anything, Meng Yunxi struck while the iron was hot and persuaded her patiently.

"Qingqing, don't worry. When you come back, you don't have to live in the old house of the Meng family. I will arrange a new residence for you, and you don't have to please grandpa and others... Don't you want to have a home that truly belongs to you?"

Your own home?

The last sentence seemed to touch Yan Qing.

She was distracted for a moment, her eyelids drooped, and light and shadow were mottled in her eyes.

While she was in a daze, the curve of Meng Yunxi's lips became more sinister, and a hint of sinisterness flashed in his usually gentle eyes.

Of course he would not let Yan Qing return to the Meng family, let alone let her meet her grandfather.

Yan Qing can only belong to him.

This perfect fruit can only rot in him.

He would make the whole world think that Yan Qing had been reincarnated...

Then lock her up in a place where there is no sunlight and enjoy her sweetness to your heart's content.

Such fair skin, such a proud character.

Whether it is strawberries or roses, before they completely rot, they will be extremely bright and gradually attract flies.

She might curse and resist...but so what?

It just makes it more interesting to him.

A gorgeous and graceful girl, blessed by heaven, gradually became a prostitute in a dungeon.

And he, Meng Yunxi, will still be the gentle, perfect nobleman in the eyes of the world.

Only he knew in his heart that he was playing with his own cousin.

I can’t help but get excited just thinking about it.

"Qingqing, what do you think?"

Even though he tried hard to suppress it, a hint of impatience flashed across Meng Yunxi's face.

"…But my cousin doesn't like me either."

Yan Qing curled his lips.

"I heard her cursing me to death. And my aunt...she cares so much about the shares, she definitely doesn't want to see me."

"You mean Wan Tang and my mother?"

Meng Yunxi was anxious. "Wantang is just jealous of you. My mother won't be unreasonable. Besides, I can make sure that they can't find you——"

Yan Qing suddenly raised his eyelids, and his cold gaze nailed him to the spot, unable to move.

Even the remaining half of the sentence was swallowed back into the stomach.

"Cousin, you are a strange person."

Yan Qing supported her chin with her left hand wrapped in gauze and smiled.

"I don't know you well, why are you so nice to me?"

Meng Yunxi was stunned and the smile froze on his face.

He realized that he had underestimated Yan Qing.

"My dear, I just feel..."

He slowly lowered his head, looking lost.

"In the past, our grandpa and my mother didn't do enough for your family... We owe you."

"You also know that in this generation, there are only you, me, and Wan Tang left in the Meng family. I am the only male in this generation, so I naturally have to think of ways to make the Meng family prosperous. But Wan Tang...her mind is not on the Meng family. My mother is also old."

"I know you are smart and capable. I need you to be my assistant. Only if we work together can we bring glory to the Meng family."

Meng Yunxi is worthy of being Meng Yunxi. What he said sounded very eloquent and it seemed that there was some truth to it.

"Cousin, if you had come to the hospital to pick me up with these words as soon as something happened in my house, I would have been so moved that I would have gone with you."

Yan Qing laughed at himself.

"I'm sorry, it's too late to say this. I've already been sold out by my dad's best friend. If you keep being so nice to me, I'm going to get PTSD."

(PTSD: Post-traumatic stress disorder, a stress-related disorder that occurs at a later time after a person faces an unusually strong mental stimulus.)

Meng Yunxi nodded as if he was guilty, "Yes, I know, I'm late."

Although he said this, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Yan Qing's eyes were so sharp just now that he almost thought that she had seen through his plan.

It doesn't matter. If you boil a frog in warm water, one day the frog will lose its jumping instinct and be boiled thoroughly.

"Cousin, you don't have to worry about Meng's. Because... I will definitely take back the shares that belong to me."

Yan Qing smiled easily.

"As a major shareholder of the Meng Group, I can't just watch it go bankrupt, right? I can cooperate with you, but not for the sake of glory, but for my assets and the money in my account."

Meng Yunxi looked calm and composed, but his heart was already filled with turbulent waves.

Yan Qing was smarter than he thought.

"Oh, by the way, cousin, actually... there is one thing I am undecided about."

Yan Qing lowered his eyes, his lips slightly curved, hiding the cunning in his expression.

"Can you help me analyze it?"

"Ah?" Meng Yunxi suddenly came back to his senses, and his appearance was a little out of control. "Of course...of course, go ahead."

"That's right." Yan Qing looked innocent.

"That's Fu Jingheng. He told me that if his second brother didn't want me anymore, he wouldn't mind taking over -"

Meng Yunxi's face suddenly changed.

Under Yan Qing's teasing gaze, he fled in panic.

Yan Qing stared at his back, shrugged without denying anything, with an ambiguous look in his eyes.
