Chapter 283 - She had a suspicion that Liu Dongchang was behind all this but she couldn’t prove it. (1)
Edited by: Lulu
Seeing that Meng Qingqing wasn’t brave enough to tell on her, Tan Xiaoyan took things another step further. “You fox demon, do you think I can do nothing about you if you don’ say a word? Hurry up and spill. How did you seduce my brother-in-law?”
Meng Qingqing pinched her lips shut and defended herself weakly. “I didn’t……”
Tan Xiaoyan, “Right. Why else would he fall for someone as ordinary as you otherwise had you not seduce him first?”
??
Tong Xuelu raised her brows and looked baffled.
Did she mishear? Meng Qingqing and Liu Dongchang were together?
Tan Xiaoyan went on. “Let me warn you. Do not think that you can marry into the Liu family just because you were able to seduce my brother-in-law. My two nephews will never accept you. Just give it up already!”
Meng Qingqing lowered her head and looked at the floor. She neither confirmed nor denied it.
Tong Xuelu felt that she had been struck and charred by a lighting bolt from the sky.
She looked at Meng Qingqing with her widened eyes. She and Liu Dongchang??
How was that possible?!
With a man as creepy as Liu Dongchang, she would not consider him even if he was the last man left on earth!
Liu Dongchang was a competent man alright. But he had been married and had two children. In addition, he kowtowed to his older sisters. Marrying him would mean having the two sisters acting like another mother-in-law lording over her!
More importantly, he had character flaws. He was disgustingly conceited!
He was professing his love for her just a few days ago. And now he and Meng Qingqing were a couple?
She would rather die than believe that that was true love!
Tong Xuelu looked at Meng Qingqing and couldn't help but asked, “Qingqing, is what she said true? Are you really a couple with Manager Liu?”
Meng Qingqing looked up at her, her hands twisting the hem of her cloth, making it disheveled. She looked both embarrassed and stuck in a difficult place.
Before Meng Qingqing could say anything, Tan Xiaoyan scolded again, “Of course it was true. My brother-in-law had already visited her parents at her place. She’s a fox demon alright. She knows what she is doing!”
Seeing that Meng Qingqing did not deny it, Tong Xuelu was speechless as though she was just forced to swallow a fly.
Even if Meng Qingqing was a Foolish, Fair, and Sweet and was fooled by Liu Dongchang, there was still the issue between Chef Meng and Liu Dongchang. The two were not archenemy but, given Chef Meng’s personality, there was no way he would have agreed to this.
So what really was going on?
Tong Xuelu had a lot of questions but Liu Dongchang walked over before she could ask anything else.
Liu Dongchang walked over and scanned across all of them. Finally, he looked at Tan Xiaoyan and asked, “Were you bullying Qingqing just now?”
Liu Dongchang looked a little mean. Startled, Tan Xiaoyan took a step back and stammered, “No, no I didn’t. I only asked her to be nice to Jiayang and Jiajia in the future!”
Apparently, Liu Dongchang was skeptical about that. He turned toward Meng Qingqing and asked, “Was that true, Qingqing?”
Meng Qingqing quickly looked up at him and nodded.
Liu Dongchang reached his hand out to rub her on her head and Meng Qingqing wanted to dodge reflexively. She had, however, stopped herself from moving back when she saw that Liu Dongchang’s face had dropped.
Liu Dongchang patted her a couple times over her head and said as though he was talking to a pet. “Just let me know if someone bullies you. I am your boyfriend now.”
Meng Qingqing’s face turned beet red. It looked like it could start bleeding with a slight poke.
Liu Dongchang finally went to open the door feeling contented. He even gave Tong Xuelu a complacent look while he was at it.
Tong Xuelu almost vomited. She felt as though she was half way through eating an apple and saw half a worm inside.
She only wished that she could vomit all the food that was still in her stomach!
She, however, did not plan to meddle and just walked inside with the rest of them.
