Chapter 274: Chapter 274 Ye Mengyan is Pregnant _1
I was thinking that if Qi Ming doesn’t make a move tonight, I could somehow notify Liu Yu in advance, to brace her for what’s coming.

However, the woman I hadn’t expected spoke to Qi Ming, saying,

“You call her to come over, you can use an app to order a car, I’ll help you order!”

“This doesn’t seem right…”

Qi Ming, apparently still hesitant, didn’t seem all too eager to hurt her.

But this woman wasn’t going to let it go. She kept urging him to make a move.

“Brother Ming! I’ve followed you for so many years already; you can’t let me down now. Brother Ming, didn’t you say that you only love me and no one else?”

“Brother Ming, it’s up to you now… that woman will only drag you down, she is nothing!”

The woman coquettishly leaned on him and threatened him until the man finally faltered.

“Alright, alright, I’ll listen to you!”

Seeing Qi Ming give in, the woman was so perked that she immediately ordered a car online.

Qi Ming also made a call to Liu Yu…

“Bring the kids to a friend’s house tonight for a gathering. Dress them up a bit, make them look presentable…”

Perhaps to make it more convincing, his voice softened when he spoke to his wife.

I just stood there, watching him with my own eyes reach out to his wife and child with his life-ruining plot.

In just a couple of seconds, the woman happily grabbed Qi Ming’s arm and led him inside.

I felt a chill on my fingertips.

In the midst of my daze, an arm draped itself over my shoulders.

He gently turned me around to face his deep, dark eyes.

“What are you daydreaming about?”

A shocking plot is about to take place, and yet I cannot tell Gu Yuanzhou about it.

I cannot utter a single word!

I looked at him, our eyes meeting.

This familiar face in front of me gradually became blurry.

“Gu Yuanzhou, why did you bring me here?”

“It’s cold outside, let’s go inside!”

Without saying anything else, he directly pulled me inside.

People started entering the room, one after another… all of them were those I saw at the Song family’s house a few days ago.

The look in their eyes when they saw me was one of clear hostility.

Some even looked down on me…

“Brother Zhou, it’s not a good idea to bring this woman here now. She’s pure trouble!”

Ayu, wearing a black leather jacket, looked defiant with a cigarette hanging from his lips. There was always a smirk on his face when he looked at me, as if he didn’t think much of me.

Although Ayu was the one who picked me up, he didn’t say a word during the whole trip.

He seemed prickly, constantly trying to stir up trouble with me.

I initially thought something was wrong with me then I thought otherwise!

I guess, the reason they are all gathered together tonight, is that there is an important matter to discuss.

So they don’t want an outsider, especially someone associated with the Ding Family to be present, as it might pose a threat.

“Alright, just do your job!”

Gu Yuanzhou naturally did not consider his advice and led me into the room.

He slipped off his suit and hung it on the coat rack. After turning around, he rolled up his sleeves and looked at me.

“Sit down!”

I wasted no time getting to the point.

“Gu Yuanzhou, what did you do to Song Zexi?”

Gu Yuanzhou took a bottle of red wine from the mahogany wine cabinet, poured it into a glass, and then turned and handed it to me.

“Such a temper isn’t good… come, have a few sips!”

I took the wine glass, gave him a dubious look, then brought the glass to my nose and gave it a sniff.

“I’m not drinking! Who knows if you’ve drugged it?”

Gu Yuanzhou, on the other hand, drank half a glass of wine on his own before looking at me,

“Do you think I’m like you, using drugs? Only you women resort to such despicable means. Even ten of you put together couldn’t hurt me a bit!”

His tone was as arrogant as ever.

I chuckled lightly,

“Forget the wine, let’s talk about Song Zexi. When are you planning to hide him, and what conditions are you laying out?”

“In my opinion, why not just release Mengyan!”

After all this beating around the bush, he finally got to the point.

“Alright, then you release both Song Zexi and Wu Lijuan, and return the Song family’s house to its owner. I will then return Ye Mengyan to you!”

Gu Yuanzhou chuckled coldly,

“You’re really good at calculations! You want to exchange two lives and a house for one Ye Mengyan?”

“No, Gu Yuanzhou, not one life! Two lives… two for two!”

“Are you out of your mind? How can Ye Mengyan count as two?”

I shot him a glance,

“Stop playing dumb with me! Ye Mengyan is pregnant, isn’t that two lives? Or are you implying that the baby isn’t a human being?”

After this series of rebuttals, Gu Yuanzhou was genuinely shocked by my words.

He looked at me for a long time,

“What are you saying? She’s pregnant?”

“What, you are pretending not to know to spite me? Did you deliberately set the fire and kill your wife just to make room for the baby in Ye Mengyan’s belly?”

Gu Yuanzhou loosened his tie and looked at me with a gloomy expression.

“In the future, I don’t want to hear you mentioning ‘set fire to kill wife’ again!”

“Did you do it but now you can’t own up to it? Are you afraid that the restless spirits will come for you in your dreams?”

“Shut up! I said, don’t mention these four words!!!”

He was clearly infuriated. He was practically roaring these words out of his throat.

I wasn’t scared of him, though.

“If you’re a man, you should take responsibility for your actions! You can’t take responsibility for what you’ve done, to be blunt, I don’t think much of you!”

Gu Yuanzhou suddenly started pacing back and forth in the room, appearing to be under great stress. There was a palpable aura of violent ferocity emanating from him.

After pacing around for a bit, he lunged forward and grabbed me by my collar.

“From now on, don’t mention this four-word phrase, or I’ll kill Song Zexi! You can try me if you don’t believe it!”

Seeing the man on the verge of exploding, I decided to back down.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door. He shot me a glance, let go of me, and walked over to answer the door. Waiting for him outside was Ayu and the rest of the gang.

Before leaving, he warned me,

“Wait here, I’ll come back later to discuss with you!”

After saying that, he hurriedly walked out the door.

I let out a sigh of relief and quietly sat down to wait.

Gu Yuanzhou’s attitude made me think that he was a little ridiculous. It was clear that he had killed his wife and child, yet he didn’t allow anyone to mention it. This was purely self-deception.

What a hypocrite!

After Gu Yuanzhou left, I closed the room door and sat quietly, thinking.

Thinking about the next steps.

After sitting for a few minutes, I saw a light on the hillside. Moving closer to the window, I noticed a yellow taxi coming up the winding mountain road.

I suddenly realized that the taxi might be carrying Liu Yu and her two daughters.

I hastily opened the door…

My plan was to bypass their surveillance and secretly intercept Liu Yu on the mountain road. Then I would warn her about the impending danger.

Unexpectedly, while navigating the twist and turns, I found myself near the door of the study room in the side hall. As it just so happened, I overheard Gu Yuanzhou discussing the purpose of this gathering with a few people.
