Urban Life: I Just Want To Work Hard!

Chapter 89: Blame It on the "Brother-in-law" Being Too Tempting

"Ding ding!"

Yun Lianxing pressed the unlock button on the car key and excitedly sat in the driver's seat.

She was in a very good mood. From now on, she could openly stay with Li Mubai and do happy things together.

Just thinking about it, Yun Lianxing couldn't restrain herself...

This was like falling asleep and someone handing you a pillow, or wanting to harm someone and being given a precious sword.

If sparks were to fly between her and Li Mubai with Yun Wuyue's permission, she couldn't solely blame herself, right?

Don't blame her for being heartless, blame the brother-in-law for being too tempting!

Should she let him in and feel sorry for Yun Wuyue, or should she let him go and feel sorry for Li Mubai? She could only be caught in a dilemma and let him come and go as he pleased.

She casually took out her phone and connected it to the car's Bluetooth. Yun Lianxing clicked on a randomly played song sung by Xu Shiwen, who was popular a few years ago.

She didn't understand music very well, but in order to have more common topics with Li Mubai, she was willing to explore more.

Humming along to the music, Yun Lianxing drove home.

She had just sent a text message to Yun Wuyue. Yun Wuyue was also heading home and said she had something to tell her.

About forty minutes later.

Yun Lianxing parked the car in her own garage.

As soon as she entered the door, she saw Yun Wuyue sitting in the living room with a cup of coffee in front of her.

"Sister, I'm back."

"Sit down."

Yun Wuyue's expression was a bit serious, and Yun Lianxing slowly put away her smile and sat down opposite Yun Wuyue.

"After you went there this afternoon... is Mubai doing better?"

"He's much better. The doctor said he can eat normally tomorrow, and if there are no problems after a few more days of observation, he can be discharged."

Yun Wuyue picked up her coffee and took a sip. After pondering for two seconds, she asked, "What did you and Mubai do? Can you tell your sister?"

Yun Lianxing's pupils contracted for a moment, but then returned to normal. Her expression also became serious. "Sister, about this matter... I want to discuss it with you."

Yun Wuyue raised her head and looked at Yun Lianxing in surprise.

In her impression, Yun Lianxing rarely had such a serious attitude.

Especially towards Li Mubai, Yun Lianxing used to strongly oppose her being with him.

But after the stock incident and the incident in her office, it seemed that Yun Lianxing's attitude towards Li Mubai had finally improved.

Nodding slightly, Yun Wuyue put down her coffee. "Go ahead."

"When I just went there today... Lin Jiajia was at Mubai's bedside!"

She started with a bombshell, and Yun Wuyue's eyebrows slightly furrowed.

Lin Jiajia has been plotting against Li Mubai for quite some time. The reason why that incident happened that night ultimately traces back to Lin Jiajia.

Now, Li Mubai wants to retaliate against her and Lin Jiayin. Lin Jiajia is naturally delighted by Li Mubai's release of goodwill towards her.

"You may continue," said Yun Lianxing.

Yun Lianxing briefly explained Li Mubai's goodwill towards her.

The more Yun Wuyue listened, the more furrowed her brow became.

"..."

Yun Wuyue raised her head... only to see Yun Lianxing with a complex expression on her face.

"At first, I naturally wanted to refuse, but..."

"Hmm?" Yun Wuyue tilted her head.

"Sister, do you remember what the doctor said? Mubai's mental state is not very good right now..."

Yun Wuyue's eyes dimmed a bit, but she still nodded in agreement.

So... I want to cooperate with him."

Yun Wuyue looked at Yun Lianxing and sighed after a long silence. "Lianxing, you've worked hard."

Yun Lianxing's heart was already blooming with joy, and she shook her head with an expression that said it was okay. She continued, "Actually... Sister, I know why Li Mubai is doing this..."

Yun Lianxing looked into Yun Wuyue's eyes. "He wants to retaliate against you!"

Yun Wuyue already knew this, so she closed her eyes and nodded again helplessly.

"But... Sister, actually... Mubai still cares about you a lot."

Yun Wuyue suddenly opened her eyes. "What do you mean?"

"When Brother-in-law was in contact with me, I could clearly feel that he didn't want to hurt me. Even though he had already suffered such a blow and made such a big decision, he was still afraid of really hurting me."

Yun Wuyue's eyes widened slowly.

Indeed!

This was the Li Mubai in her heart!

Even after experiencing such a situation, he still had a pure place in his heart!

He truly was the man she had fallen for. The longer they spent together, the more she could feel the preciousness of Li Mubai.

Yun Wuyue felt that meeting Li Mubai in this lifetime was probably the blessing of her entire life.

"But... Brother-in-law still hasn't resolved this knot in his heart. Sister, do you know who he asked me about today?"

Yun Wuyue raised her head. "Who?"

"Shiwen."

"Shiwen?" Yun Wuyue pondered. "Why is Mubai asking about Shiwen?"

"Sister, don't you know what's being said outside?" Yun Lianxing leaned closer. "The year you took over the company, not long after, you had a dispute with Xueying, and Shiwen, your sister-in-law, retired."

Yun Wuyue nodded in sudden realization.

There were rumors outside that she and Xu Shiwen had always been at odds, and she naturally knew about it.

But in reality, Xu Shiwen was her only good friend. She had invited Xu Shiwen to the Nine States Art Academy party that night, but Xu Shiwen couldn't make it due to some last-minute matters.

As for why she didn't explain to the outside world... Yun Wuyue simply didn't care about such matters.

Whether she was called indifferent and heartless, or cold and cruel, it didn't matter.

Those who understand her don't need explanations, and explanations are useless to those who don't understand her. This is Yun Wuyue's creed, and she doesn't bother with it at all.

"So... are you saying that Mubai might go find Shiwen and then they will team up to retaliate against me?"

"It's very possible!" Yun Lingxing nodded seriously. "Brother-in-law doesn't have the heart to seek revenge on my sister by staying with me, but if he teams up with Shiwen, there won't be any psychological pressure!"

Yun Wuyue pondered, "But what's the use of Mubai contacting Shiwen?"

"Maybe they will join forces online to ruin my sister's reputation? Or write some songs to mock my sister?"

Yun Lingxing hadn't really thought about this question carefully.

Yun Wuyue calmly shook her head and smiled softly, "It's okay. If it can make him feel better, I won't blame him."

Yun Wuyue naturally wouldn't blame Li Mubai.

Not to mention that this matter didn't affect her at all, and now she wouldn't complain about anything Li Mubai did.

There's a saying, "Capital, from the moment of birth, from head to toe, every pore is stained with dirty blood..."

Yun Wuyue didn't consider herself a good person, even during the failed gambling contract back then. She would only admit defeat, admit that she was inexperienced at the time, admit... that she was not as skilled as others.

In these years, she had been sailing smoothly, and she didn't even know how many people she had exploited.

Psychological burden?

Yun Wuyue didn't know how to write this phrase, she only knew that it's a matter of winner takes all!

Back then, she personally went to Xu Shiwen to discuss the gambling contract, and Xu Shiwen also made a condition: regardless of whether the contract succeeded or not, as long as Yun Wuyue could cure her grandmother's illness, money would be enough.

This simple cooperation laid the foundation for her friendship with Xu Shiwen over the years.

Otherwise, Yun Wuyue wouldn't have any friends.

"I know my sister won't blame, but... Shiwen may not be so forgiving. If Brother-in-law rashly goes to find her, he will definitely be rejected!"

Yun Wuyue nodded, indeed.

If Xu Shiwen heard that Li Mubai wanted to team up to deal with Yun Wuyue, she would definitely not agree.

"I understand. I will go and talk to Shiwen about this, and make her obey and listen to Li Mubai's every request!"

Yun Lingxing smiled and nodded, leaning back comfortably on the sofa.

I wonder if Li Mubai will be happy when he finds out about this?

"Sister, just give Shiwen a call, and then tell me the address. I will personally go and talk to her!"

"Okay... Lingxing, I'll trouble you with that!"

"It's okay, it's okay. Sister is busy with work every day, so I'm already happy to be able to help Sister."

"Alright, let's eat. We've been waiting for a long time."

"Mmm..."

Getting up and walking towards the dining table, Yun Lingxing smiled.

Next... how should she casually tell Li Mubai that she can contact Xu Shiwen and make Xu Shiwen listen to Li Mubai?

Unexplainably, Yun Lingxing felt that she was worthy of being the second young miss of the Yun Feather Group.

This acting skill is wasted if she doesn't become a movie queen~

-733

Central Hospital.

Li Mubai had his hands behind his head, looking relaxed as he read the latest news about the Ye Group.

The worse Ye Feng's situation, the happier he naturally felt.

Not to mention, he also received a free boost of 75 points of luck.

Lowering his right hand, Li Mubai looked at the location where the red dot used to be.

It seemed necessary to coincidentally meet Ye Chun.

After all, with the use of "False Reflection Palace Sand," it would be a critical hit. As long as he met Ye Chun, it would be a perfect opportunity to harvest more luck from Ye Feng.

Not to mention, if the luck reached its maximum value, with a little manipulation, he could turn Ye Chun into a nail planted by her side.

One that could take away half of his life with a single strike.

When the time comes to truly support Meng Xin, it would be an ultimate trump card!

Nodding in admiration.

Amazing~

He, Li Mubai, is not inferior to that Cao Mengde in terms of hobbies~

He still had some concerns about others, but he had no psychological burden when it came to Ye Chun.

Just at this moment...

"Ding! Yun Wuyue blesses the host with +3 luck; Xu Shiwen blesses the host with +35 luck; host's luck value +9, protagonist Ye Feng's luck value -5!"

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for gaining 1 free attribute point; 900 yuan reward!"

Blinking his eyes, Li Mubai was stunned.

It's understandable for Yun Wuyue to bless him with luck, after all, Yun Lingxing just went back...

But what's the deal with Xu Shiwen?

He didn't do anything, did he?

Who became her secret ally so quickly, and it seems like this ally has quite an effect!

PS1: As requested by the readers, luck blessings will be integrated together in the future. Also, Ye Chun is only the female lead in the original novel, not in this story. There will be someone else replacing her in the character guide, so don't think too much about it. She's just a useless female tool, I won't write anything toxic.

PS2: Please give some support to Xiaobai in terms of rewards, monthly votes, reminders for updates, and automatic subscriptions. Xiaobai is begging you!
