My Lord, your wife is spreading rumors about you again.

Chapter 53 Prying the corner

Mingli and the other two leisurely found a teahouse to drink tea and eat snacks, quietly waiting for their subordinates to report on the next developments.

Zhang Zhi took a piece of cake mixed with honey and placed it on the saucer in front of Ming Li. "Ming Boyuan will be returning to Beijing in one day. When will we get married? I have prepared the betrothal gifts and am just waiting for your order."

Mingli took a bite of the snack, the sweetness of honey mixed with the fragrance of green tea, it was really unique. She thought about it and set a date for Zhang Zhi, "Let's do it this day. You were right before, Ming Boyuan's foundation is too deep, with my current strength, I can't do anything to him."

"Okay, after we get married, as a husband and wife, we will be able to accomplish anything with one heart." Zhang Zhi teased her again.

If it were the previous time, Mingli might have glared at him, but now that he teased her three or four times a day, she didn't care anymore.

Since he likes to talk, let him talk.

Not long after, Wuwei ran up quickly and said hurriedly: "Master, Xi Mo is here."

Zhang Zhi subconsciously glanced at Mingli.

"Then, please come up?"

Mingli didn't notice Zhang Zhi's tentative look. She only knew that she had made it clear to Xi Mo yesterday that if he came to see her today, he should apologize first.

Mingli said calmly: "No."

Hearing this, Zhang Zhi felt relieved. He picked up the teapot and added some hot tea to Ming Li, and said proudly, "Go and answer his question. Our Second Miss Ming doesn't want to see him."

Wu Weiwei understood it in his heart, lowered his head and smiled secretly: "Yes."

Jiang Tong, who was standing by, was trying to hold back his laughter while drinking tea. "Brother, do you know what you look like now?"

"what?"

"A pretty young lady who has been alone in her boudoir for many years and has not seen her beloved husband, but immediately shows her fangs and claws when she is favored by him by chance."

"Puff—cough cough cough" Mingli didn't expect Jiang Tong to say such nonsense. He choked on his tea and started coughing violently.

Zhang Zhi quickly put down the teacup to calm her down, and did not forget to tease her: "I look like a young lady, are you happy?"

"Very happy." Mingli rolled his eyes at him and said deliberately.

At the same time, Wuwei returned and said, "Second Miss Ming, Xi Mo has something to tell you."

"Speak." Zhang Zhi's face darkened.

"He said that what happened yesterday was his fault. He shouldn't have looked down on Miss Ming, who possessed extraordinary talent. He was willing to offer Jucai Tower as an apology."

Mingli was actually confused about one thing. Xi Mo had said that he wanted to give Jucai Building to him more than once or twice. He was the illegitimate son of the Mo family. He had lived with his mother for more than ten years. He had gone through countless hardships before he finally created the largest gambling house in Kyoto City as a trump card to save his life.

Just give it away like that? So casual?

Mingli pursed his lips and said, "Forget it, please come up first."

"Yes." Wuwei no longer needed Zhang Zhi's instructions. After hearing Mingli's words, he hurried to do it.

After a while, he led Xi Mo and Bao Changfu up. Bao Changfu seemed to have changed into a new white robe today. He looked like a butcher, but he had the heart of a scholar. He hung out in casinos, but he was very polite. It was really interesting. Bao Changfu was the first to greet her: "Girl, we meet again."

"Manager Bao," Mingli stood up and bowed his head slightly, "I said that this meeting will be the manager looking for me."

Bao Changfu smiled and said, "Miss, you have made a great plan. I admire you."

After saying this, he stood behind Xi Mo, put his hands in his sleeves, and said nothing more. Xi Mo slowly raised his head, his eyes swept across Jiang Tong, then to Zhang Zhi, and finally to Ming Li.

He lowered his eyes and said, "When I was young, I had no family support and my mother was weak, so I became the head of the family very early and fought for a future in Kyoto with my own hands. I am not like you, who have a century-old family and a reputation as a royal family. Originally, I noticed the second Miss Ming because of the case of the annihilation of the Zhou family." Xi Mo suddenly raised his head, "Although this incident has been determined by the Kyoto government as arson, but... Second Miss Ming, you did it, right?"

Jiang Tong widened her eyes again. Seeing that Mingli and Zhang Zhi both looked normal, she knew that this was true and that Zhang Zhi had known about it for a long time.

She secretly complained in her heart: Those people in the Zhou family actually sent their daughter-in-law to be a government prostitute to pave their own future. Murder and arson were considered easy forgiveness for them!

Mingli's eyes darkened: "What do you mean, Master Xi? Are you threatening me?"

"Heh." Zhang Zhi glanced at him coldly and said, "Threat? Master Xi, go to the Kyoto government office and file a complaint. Let's see who is faster, you or my secret guards."

These words made Xi Mo clench his fists.

He looked at Zhang Zhi, his eyes filled with resentment. "Young Master Zhang, I know you are of noble status. The Queen, the Crown Prince, and the Prime Minister are all your blood relatives. Although I am not as good as you in every aspect, there is one thing I have: I have no attachments in this world. I can risk my life to accomplish something. Can you do the same?"

Zhang Zhi stared, murderous intent emerging in his eyes.

"Second Miss Ming," Xi Mo took two steps towards Ming Li, his expression moved, "At this point, haven't you seen clearly? A noble son like Zhang Zhi will never understand our pain. You and I are the same kind of people, and we should stand on the same front and fight together for what we want."

"You boy!"

Zhang Zhi was so angry that he slammed the table and stood up, "You're trying to steal my girlfriend right in front of me? Are you looking for death?"

"Zhang Zhi!" Ming Li was helpless and pulled Zhang Zhi, who was about to rush up and beat someone up. She looked at Xi Mo with annoyance between her brows, "Master Xi, I want you to understand clearly that you are asking me for cooperation now. If you don't want to help, I don't mind taking the trouble to lure Mo Zhao out. Also, I remember I made it very clear to you at the beginning."

"I will not abandon him."

Mingli said this word by word, with an extremely determined look on her face. She continued, "If you are here today to discuss cooperation, then sit down and drink a cup of tea together. If you are here to sow discord, then Wuwei, send you away."

After saying this, Mingli pulled Zhang Zhi's sleeve and pulled him back to sit. Zhang Zhi was like a young wife being protected by her husband, lowering her head and secretly enjoying herself, letting Mingli pull her.

Xi Mo: “.”

He was holding his breath in his heart and couldn't let it go. Zhang Zhi and Mingli were definitely not the same kind of people. Now it was just because Mingli was too loyal. She had promised Zhang Zhi in advance, so she would not give up easily.

Such a woman is rare in the world.

"Don't be upset, Miss Ming, just now..." Xi Mo walked over, lifted his robe and knelt down: "Just now, I was wrong, I hope that Young Master Zhang will forgive me."

Zhang Zhi glanced at him and said, "Oh."
