Mao Feng was guilty to begin with. When he saw Chen Yue, he froze and forced a smile. “l just came to take a look.”
Chen Yue had no intention of putting down the knife in her hand. “You don’t have to play dumb to demur with me. If I came any later, your hand would have reached into the money bag.”
If it was in the past, Mao Feng would not be afraid of Chen Yue at all. Even if she had a knife, it would be useless. Mao Feng could make her lie on the ground with a spell.
However, Mao Fengs energy had yet to recover. After being sucked dry by
Yunbao, his body was almost exhausted. It would take a lot of time to recover. Chen Yue was getting crazier and crazier. No one could guarantee that her knife wouldn’t fall. Mao Feng didn’t want to die yet, so he naturally had to please her.
“l originally came to see how I could help you. Devon has already given you the potion. The most important thing now is to let Xiao Jing drink it,” Mao Feng said.
He stood up as he spoke, looking self-righteous and thinking for Chen Yue’s sake.
His acting skills were really not bad. If others saw him, they would believe him a little. However, Chen Yue was not someone who could be easily deceived. There were so many children in the Chen family who had been acting since they were young to fight for their father’s love. She was the expert in acting.
Chen Yue held the knife in her hand closer to Mao Feng and said, “1 know you want to run, but I don’t care where you run. Anyway, as long as I get Xiao Jing, 1 don’t have to care what Rong Feng wants to do. But if you want to steal my money, you have a death wish.”
Mao Feng quickly said, “Then don’t you want to know how to make Xiao Jing drink the medicine?”
Chen Yue did not take it to heart, but when it came to Xiao Jing, she began to hesitate. Seeing that it was useful, Mao Feng added fuel to the fire and said, “You must be thinking of a way to get close to Xiao Jing now, but Xiao Jing has the flames of the God of War on him. He might sense the existence of the potion. Even if you’re completely prepared, if Xiao Jing doesn’t drink it, it would be a waste of effort.”
Chen Yue admitted that what Mao Feng said made sense. In the end, she chose to put down the knife and said, “Tell me your plan.”
At this moment, Mao Feng pounced forward and pressed Chen Yue to the ground. He sneered, “You think you can threaten me?”
Mao Feng couldn’t use spells at the moment, but he still had his skills. If it weren’t for the fact that he was afraid of the knife just now, he wouldn’t have wanted to help Chen Yue anymore. The most important thing now was to take the money and escape.
Chen Yue struggled and said, “You don’t think you can run out of this villa, do you? Rong Feng has already arranged for people to watch you outside. If you dare to go out on your own, you’ll be shot into a sieve.”
“Are you serious?” Mao Feng could not believe it.
Chen Yue looked up at him. “Of course it’s true. I saw those people patrolling outside with my own eyes. They all had guns on their waists.”
The more she spoke, the happier she became. It was as if she was mocking Mao Feng for overestimating himself and trying to escape. Moreover, he did not even make preparations to escape. He was simply brainless to the extreme.
Mao Feng did not know what to do next. His life had been too smooth by relying on magic, so he could no longer think normally. He could not even think of such a simple thing.
Chen Yue sized up Mao Feng and had an idea. She smiled and said, “As long as you listen to me, you can run out. In the end, I just want to get Xiao Jing. As long as this matter can be completed, I’ll give you the rest of the money.”
These words were like a straw to clutch at. He quickly let go of her and said,
“What do you want me to do?”
Chen Yue lowered her head and smiled strangely. She waved her hand and said, “Come over. I’ll tell you the plan in detail.”
While the two of them were plotting, the Gu family had already begun to prepare to celebrate Lily’s birthday. This was the first time Lily had celebrated her birthday openly. Previously, Devon had not allowed her to celebrate her birthday at home in Country Y.
Therefore, Cheng Xi could only buy a small cake to secretly celebrate. One time, she was found almost beaten to death. From then on, Lily never mentioned her birthday.
Now that they had finally escaped Devon, they naturally had to celebrate. They also congratulated the mother and daughter on welcoming a new life.
Gu Peng was definitely the busiest person at this birthday banquet. He was busy preparing everywhere, hoping to give Lily a perfect birthday party.
Cheng Xi did not want too many people to pay attention to Lily. After all, everyone knew that she and Devon were going to divorce. It was better to invite guests after everything was calm.
Just as everyone was busy, Song Yun came to the Gu family. She first went to see Yunbao and said, “l heard that Lily is celebrating her birthday, so we’re here to give our blessings..”
