Chapter 1590: When the Water’s Still, the Fish Don’t Leap

Just as Mengyu was about to say that because Gu Dongxing was military, he’d have to file a report before he could get married, she heard Hai Xue say she wanted to go back. She couldn’t help being surprised: "Auntie, your mother left you 50% of the Ou Family’s shares. This still isn’t cleared up yet, we’d better not go back for now."

Hai Xue, however, didn’t care at all: "You and Dongxing are both Cultivators now, and Minxing is your disciple. What do I need those shares for?

Besides, I’ve already run into a third assassination attempt since coming to Xiangjiang. Am I supposed to stay here and wait for people to kill me? We’re going back! Tomorrow we go back!"

In fact, she was worried about her daughter-in-law—she was already pregnant, how could she let her stay mired in the Ou Family’s quagmire? Of course the grandchild mattered more.

Mengyu thought for a moment and said, "Auntie, even if we’re going back, we still have to make the Ou Family give you this year’s forty-three percent dividend! Otherwise people will think we’re scared, so we don’t want those shares anymore. Then that mastermind’s goal will have been achieved."

Hearing Mengyu say this, Hai Xue also felt she was right; otherwise, it would be letting those three ordeals she’d suffered be for nothing!

"But you’re pregnant—"

Mengyu laughed: "Auntie, I’m a Cultivator. Look at me, do I look in any way like a pregnant woman? If I hadn’t said anything today, you wouldn’t even know I’m expecting, would you? Don’t worry, I’ll take good care of myself, I won’t let anything happen to me. I’m only going to run my mouth a bit, and I’ve got people around me."

Hai Xue remembered the voices from when Mengyu had saved her, and it really had sounded like her daughter-in-law hadn’t personally made a move; it was all her subordinates acting. It was just that those people of hers never seemed to be around—only appearing when needed and disappearing the rest of the time.

But, well, her daughter-in-law was an Immortal. Let her do as she pleased.

She relaxed: "All right then, but it’s agreed, you can only talk, you can’t personally make a move. A gentleman uses his mouth, not his fists."

Mengyu smiled: "Okay, I’ll play the gentleman this time." A mocking look flashed across her face. "Besides, when the water’s not stirred up, the fish don’t jump. Now that you’ve said you’re leaving, with that kind of jolt, I’m afraid certain fish are going to leap right out, and we can just net them."

She was sure that once Hai Xue said she was leaving, the people who wanted to kill her would definitely make a move. And with Mengyu here, she didn’t believe they could slip past her surveillance.

It was just that there wouldn’t be time to deal with the punishment for the Ba Long Gang.

Forget it, she’d come back and handle it herself later. Anyway, the Ba Long Gang had successfully pissed her off this time.

After a while, Gu Minxing and the others also returned to the hotel.

As soon as she saw Hai Xue, Gu Minxing threw her arms around her mother and burst into tears: "Mom, I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have left you on your own!"

Hai Xue patted her: "It’s not your fault. In that situation, it was perfectly normal for you to want to act."

Le Yin also reflected on her mistake: "It’s my fault, I shouldn’t have gone off." Then she turned to Mengyu and said, "Please punish me, Lady."

Hai Xue hurriedly said, "It’s not your fault either. I was too worried about Minxing at the time, that’s why I had you go help her. Who could have guessed that in just that short while someone would come to kidnap me."

Mengyu let out a sigh and said, "In that kind of situation, Minxing shouldn’t have rushed off without saying anything. And Le Yin, once Minxing had gone over, you should have stayed to guard Auntie—you shouldn’t have left the person you were protecting because of other factors. So when we get back, you can go receive your punishment."

When Jiayi heard that the two were going to be punished, she felt awful: "It’s all my fault, I shouldn’t have acted so willful and reckless. If someone has to be punished, punish me."

Jiayi wasn’t one of her own people; there was no way Mengyu would punish her.
