Chapter 212: Birds of a Feather, Worse Than Beasts

Leng Wanqiu wasn't unaware of Song Mo's current situation.

She knew it perfectly well.

After returning from Chen Xi's place.

She immediately began investigating Song Group, and what she found gave her quite a shock—the current finances of Song Group had truly reached a dead end!

No wonder Song Mo had been frowning and worried lately.

And sometimes he appeared dazed and distracted.

The An Family and Lin Family were the two giants of Modu; a mere Song Group, able to hold out this long under the encirclement of both houses, relied entirely on Song Mo's desperate efforts to keep it running.

Then, now.

Leng Wanqiu was the most important person.

Leng Group would decide Song Group's life and death.

Even if it was just curing Leng Wanqiu's illness, and then Leng Group stepping in to help Song Mo as an exchange—would Leng Wanqiu really end up at a disadvantage?

But she still held enormous value to Song Mo.

Under Chen Xi's prompting, Leng Wanqiu realized she was the one holding the initiative; she wanted to experience the thrill of being pursued, of being fought over by Song Mo and Chen Xi.

In reality.

Had Leng Wanqiu forgotten Song Mo's kindness to her?

Song Mo had been so busy lately that he hadn't even noticed he could no longer reach Leng Wanqiu.

After becoming beautiful, Leng Wanqiu naturally assumed she should also become more precious.

Recalling how Song Mo had once rejected her proposal—was he, at this point, still hesitating over whether to marry her?

If Leng Wanqiu would just use her brain, she'd know the holes in her own logic.

No matter how wretched, how miserable the old Leng Wanqiu had been, that was the old Leng Wanqiu.

This was originally the moment when hardship ended and sweetness began.

Had she forgotten the depths of despair she'd once sunk into, and who had become the light that saved her?

Had she forgotten the companionship and hardships of these past three-plus years?

But as the saying goes.

Leng Wanqiu wasn't a fool; she wasn't unable to think of it—she was unwilling to think of it; even when she did think of it, she still pretended not to know.

Therefore.

What she wanted now was just a reason.

This is called "having a just cause," an idiom.

If Song Mo truly found her repulsive, how could he have carefully cared for her for three whole years, encouraging her throughout, and even truly cured her illness?

"Share hardship together, but not prosperity."

She wanted to watch two men's emotions rise and fall because of her.

Some wolves are born ungrateful wolves;

Some people are born cheap.

Now Leng Wanqiu had been reborn; in other words, she no longer needed Song Mo—Song Mo only held emotional value to her now.

It wasn't until Leng Group suddenly stepped in forcefully, becoming the last straw that crushed Song Group, that Song Mo realized with a shock that a cataclysmic change had occurred without his knowledge.

He contacted Leng Wanqiu immediately.

The phone was off.

He sent a WeChat message—no reply.

Did Leng Wanqiu die? What the hell was she actually doing!

Song Mo completely broke down.

And at this moment, Leng Wanqiu saw the messages Song Mo had sent.

And one video call after another.

She ignored them all.

Then, using her other phone.

She saw that on her WeChat alt account, there was a message.

It was from Chen Xi.

"Wanqiu-jie, want to grab dinner together tonight?"

Leng Wanqiu replied concisely.

"Address."

……

While dining with Chen Xi, Leng Wanqiu truly enjoyed it—watching the man who once looked down on her now fawn over her in every way.

This feeling was absolutely exhilarating.

The red wine swaying in the glass was like Leng Wanqiu's current mood—relaxed and utterly delighted.

At this, Chen Xi merely watched with a cold smirk.

Despite being Song Mo's enemy, and being in a fight-to-the-death relationship with him, he couldn't help but feel it wasn't worth it on Song Mo's behalf.

Leng Wanqiu was truly no good.

Did she not know in her heart what kind of wretched state she was in three years ago?

Song Mo helped her for three whole years—did she not know how much he gave?

But now, the moment she said she'd stab him in the back, she did.

Truly a piece of work.

Chen Xi felt this matter couldn't be blamed on him. He did have a system, but without having confirmed the relationship, the highest favorability the system could raise was only 80.

How could it be—Song Mo had essentially saved Leng Wanqiu's life, a debt as weighty as rebirth—surely her favorability was at least 80?

Chen Xi reasoned.

In Leng Wanqiu's heart, perhaps her favorability toward Song Mo had already exceeded 80.

But that didn't mean Leng Wanqiu wouldn't stab Song Mo in the back.

Because Leng Wanqiu was exactly that kind of a cheap woman.

Watching her pleased look, how could Chen Xi not know what she was thinking? She must think that her current posture was so low, that licking her felt great.

Chen Xi despised this woman in his heart, but on his face still showed a smile.

"Wanqiu-jie, since you've already joined us in suppressing the Song Group, why not increase the pressure a bit more?"

"Even if Song Mo loses his company, he still has you!"

"Of course, I like Wanqiu-jie very much too, but I respect Wanqiu-jie's choice. Whoever Wanqiu-jie likes is fine."

"Even… even if Wanqiu-jie gets married, my feelings for you won't fade."

Chen Xi hinted.

Even if Leng Wanqiu married Song Mo, if she wanted to find him for fun later on, he could still keep her company.

Letting her play both sides and enjoy the blessings of having two partners—wouldn't that be wonderful?

Leng Wanqiu's expression stiffened for a moment.

The swaying wine glass suddenly stopped, leaving only the dark red liquid swirling low in the clear glass.

She suddenly felt very embarrassed.

What did Chen Xi mean by this?

What kind of person did he take her for?

Leng Wanqiu's expression cooled. "We'll talk about it later."

She didn't furiously rebuke Chen Xi for his words that practically treated her like a loose woman, nor did she even show a clear sign of refusal.

This date ended very quickly.

Because Leng Wanqiu kept feeling uneasy inside.

She left under the escort of her bodyguards.

After she left, Chen Xi took out a pinhole camera from the table.

And at the same time,

Not far from Chen Xi and Leng Wanqiu,

A cameraman disguised as a couple raised the phone in his hand and gave an OK gesture.

Then.

Chen Xi sent the photos and selected video clips to Song Mo.

And attached a message.

"Song Mo, you're something else. A fat pig I can't even stomach, and you can take her. You even went to the trouble of helping me give her a makeover before sending her over to play with me. What a loyal brother you are."

And at this time, Song Mo had already searched for Leng Wanqiu without success.

His mood was at the peak of irritation.

He opened his phone, saw this message, and the video of Leng Wanqiu and Chen Xi dining in a dim, suggestive atmosphere, along with photos of them sitting very close.

His eyes went bloodshot, and he smashed his phone viciously.
