The Devil's Sleeping Beauty

Chapter 184 She better not disappoint me

At a Western restaurant in China.

"They’re not in this country?" A middle-aged woman with short brown hair asked with a cold tone in her voice.

Despite her age, the woman was beautiful, and she looked younger than her original age. Her hazel eyes were slightly slanted like a fox’s. It enchanting as if there was a fire burning in them. Her delicate brows were knitted together after hearing what her companion said.

The fat middle-aged man that was sitting in front of her nodded, "Yes, both Xia Sinian and Xia Meilin are out of the country. My men weren’t able to get any information about the places they went... it was as if they suddenly disappeared from the map."

The woman’s gaze darkened and the air in the room became heavy. "They... disappeared?"

"There’s only one person who can erase their trails... Lu Yifeng, Xia Meilin’s husband."

"How can that bitch be this lucky?" A dirty blonde-haired woman said through gritted teeth. She was a beautiful woman with long lashes and a small face. What made her more charming was the beauty more that was under her right eye.

"She may be lucky but that won’t be for long." The man said calmly as he turned to the woman who was sitting in front of him, "Right, Yong Biqi?"

Yong Biqi stared at her glass of wine for a while before a small smirk appeared on her lips. "It looks like my daughter isn’t a foolish one like her father." A subtle laugh was heard from her. "She better not disappoints me."

"Auntie Yong, you promised me that you will destroy Xia Meilin and her family! They need to pay for what they have done with my family!" The blondie exclaimed in anger. "It was because of them that my mother killed herself!"

Yong Biqi was not an impulsive person, she would always plan her moves carefully just like how she plays chess. This was the reason why she gathers as many pawns as possible for her schemes since she knows that the Xia Elders are not easy people like Xia Bolin and her younger sister, Yong Sining.

She calmly took a sip on her glass of wine before she turned to Lin Yiyang and Lin Qingge with a smile on her lips. "Lin Qingge, you still have the video, right?"

Lin Qingge’s eyes sparkled when the video was mentioned. "Yes, I still have it. Are we going to use it now?"

"Not yet, my dear." She chuckled softly. "We can’t destroy him just by using that video." She turned to Lin Yiyang. "As for your little birds, let them wait for a while, we can’t use them yet."

"To bring my beloved daughter out, we need to take care of this Lu Yifeng." She looked at the photo that was on the table, "As for my grandson... he’ll be our trump card against Lu Yifeng."

----

"What? You’ll stay there until next month?" Xia Meilin became gloomy after what Lu Yifeng said. "But you said that you’ll spend the Christmas here..."

"Something suddenly came up." Since he was being watched closely, Lu Yifeng was trying to hide his wife as much as possible from the person that is after her.

What made Lu Yifeng this careful was because of Lin Yiyang. He never expected Lin Yiyang to change his plans; he didn’t send his men to spy on Lu Yifeng’s company and because of this, Lu Yifeng needs to change his plans too.

This was different from the events that happened in his previous life. Was this because Lu Yifeng changed a lot of events in this timeline?

"You’re that busy huh..." She sighed heavily. Despite wanting him to be by her side, Xia Meilin knew how busy Lu Yifeng was since he was handling both the Lu family business and the Xia company. "How about Xiao Gua?"

"I will send him to Guangzhou since my mother and grandfather missed him. They wanted him to spend the Christmas there." Aside from that, Little Melon will be safer once he entered the Lu family’s residence.

"I want to go home..." Xia Meilin said as she started to become teary. How can they leave her alone in another country? She wanted to be with them! What’s more frustrating was the fact that they will be spending their first Christmas away from each other!

"You know that you can’t do that."

Her lips were stretched into a straight line when he said that. "But I want to go home! I can’t spend Christmas alone here!"

"She has arrived in this country, it’ll be dangerous for you if she learns that you’re here." His main priority was to protect his family. He will never allow anyone to touch them again.

"Are you afraid of her? Well, guess what, Mr. Lu, I am not! I will go home whether you like it or not!"

"Do you want to put our daughters in danger?" He blurted out.

As she was caught off guard by what he said, Xia Meilin instinctively placed her hand on her tummy. Her eyes started to become misty as she stared at the screen. "But Yifeng..."

His strict face softened up a bit when he saw that his wife was on the verge of crying. "As much as I want to fly to your side... I can’t, Meilin. Right now, we need to be patient."

"Tell me honestly... how long will it take for you to solve this?"

Lu Yifeng was quiet for a while as he pondered on it. "Until she makes her move against us. We will need some strong evidence against her."

A knock was suddenly heard which made Lu Yifeng turned towards the person who entered his study.

Lu Xian Yu was standing there with a blank look on his face. He stared at his brother before he walked towards the sofa and sat there.
