Rebirth of the Superpower Queen

Chapter 198 Deliberately Making Things Difficult for Ming Shunde

Qiao Surong smiled sweetly and touched Meng Zhiling's head, "I won't regret it. I will never regret it in this life!"

Then, he hugged Meng Zhiling tightly in his arms and was unwilling to let go for a long time.

If the manager hadn't brought in some wine, they would probably have hugged each other until the end of their lives.

"Mr. Qiao, your wine!"

Qiao Surong sat down with a dark face, looking at the manager who had disturbed his interest with hatred, his face full of resentment and dissatisfaction.

"Open it and get out!"

"Okay, please enjoy your meal!" The manager opened the red wine without stopping and left in a flash. He was a businessman who could read people's expressions, so if he didn't leave now, when would he leave?

"Okay, don't be depressed. Come, have some wine and calm down!" Meng Zhiling poured good wine for Qiao Surong and smiled sweetly.

Qiao Surong was also in a good mood. He raised his glass, looking forward to drinking wine with her one day in a more solemn occasion.

"We've drunk the wine, so can I put the ring on you?" Meng Zhiling smiled brightly, put down the wine glass gracefully, looked at his bare fingers, and had an impulse, that is, to keep him by her side forever.

But she also knew clearly that if she had not been bitten by the snake this time, she would probably never propose marriage. This pair of rings was not originally used for proposing marriage. She just wanted to follow the fashion of young people and wear a diamond ring that young people pursued.

"Meng Meng, I love you!" After putting the rings on each other, Qiao Surong looked at the sparkling ring on Meng Zhiling's right ring finger, and his heart moved. This most affectionate and common confession came out of his mouth with an excited tremor and a deliberately suppressed low voice. If you hear such a voice too much, you will really be "pregnant".

"I love you too."

Ming Shunde called again and said that when he left Chunmantang, the streets were already brightly lit. It seemed that it was already late.

Just as I was about to get in the car, Ming Shunde called again.

Meng Zhiling glanced at Qiao Surong, and after seeing Qiao Surong nod, she picked up the phone.

"Zhi Ling, where are you now?" Ming Shunde asked about her whereabouts as soon as he opened his mouth. His tone sounded a bit anxious, but no one knew what he was up to.

"What? I just had dinner." Meng Zhiling asked back vigilantly without answering his question directly.

"I don't mean anything else. I'm just worried about you. Tell me the address and I'll ask the housekeeper to pick you up. It's not safe outside so late." Ming Shunde was very worried about Meng Zhiling's physical condition because after being bitten by the fire snake yesterday, the back of her hand was obviously bruised and even blackened.

"Haha, is it safe in your home?" Meng Zhiling sneered, looking at the back of her hand intentionally or unintentionally, feeling a little disappointed.

"At least I can still protect you. If we are outside, I really can't do anything." Ming Shunde sighed and said cryptically.

At the Ming family, he could at least protect her from being disturbed and harmed by the Ming family, but outside, if an incident like the giant shark happened again, he couldn't guarantee that Meng Zhiling would be so lucky as to escape.

By then, he will not be a human being no matter whose side he stands on.

"Forget it. I think you are a forgetful person. You forgot what happened to my hand in the early morning of the day before yesterday. But I can't blame you entirely. After all, it was your brother who did it, and now he has received the corresponding punishment he deserves." Meng Zhiling sneered again, or perhaps she said it on purpose for Ming Shunde to hear, to piss him off.

Because it was such a big thing, although Ming Shunde said that Meng Zhiling was fully responsible for the investigation and let her handle it, he must have known the news at the first time.

"Zhi Ling, what did you do to Ming Shunqi?" Because he knew the situation, he also knew that Meng Zhiling did not "execute" Ming Shunqi on the spot at the Ming family, so he asked this question.

"Well, I don't know either. Anyway, I've handed it over to my men. But don't worry, I specifically told them to serve your brother well. At least I have to give you some face, right?" Meng Zhiling's words were very clear. She meant that Ming Shunqi might be living a life worse than death now. How could it be good?

"Okay, you must come back today. I have something to talk to you about, so the housekeeper may be here soon. You can just come back later." Ming Shunde was not angry. After all, it was Ming Shunde's own fault. Even if he didn't fall into Meng Zhiling's hands today, he would fall into the hands of others in the future.

After saying that, Ming Shunde hung up the phone, leaving Meng Zhiling with an unhappy look on her face.

"I don't know what this old fox Ming Shunde is up to. He forced me to go back to the Ming family." Meng Zhiling also put away her phone. She was very angry that he called her to delay time to find the correct location, so she kicked the car tire while speaking.

"Then are you going back?" Qiao Surong held Meng Zhiling's hand tightly, fearing that she would not be by his side in the next second. Besides, he was becoming more and more worried about Meng Zhiling living in the gloomy castle of the Ming family.

Especially after two accidents happened in succession this time.

Just when Meng Zhiling was about to comfort Qiao Surong, an extended version of Lincoln had already stopped steadily beside her. It was very domineering, and in this bustling and noisy city, it was so low-key that there was no noisy sound at all, and it existed there silently.

An old man of similar age to Ming Shunde got out of the car, but his temperament was more docile and humble. Although Meng Zhiling had never met him, she was quite familiar with him. After all, every time, no matter how big or small the occasion was, he would silently accompany Ming Shunde, and together with another young man, they seemed to be Ming Shunde's right-hand man. Even when they went to the Huoshu headquarters, they followed him.

The person who came was Ming Shunde's housekeeper, who was called Lao Li. Meng Zhiling didn't know his name, Li, but it had nothing to do with her anyway.

Meng Zhiling could only shrug helplessly at Qiao Surong, then raised her eyebrows and pursed her lips, meaning, do I still need to answer this question?

"Ms. Meng, hello Mr. Qiao, Miss Meng, please get in the car. The master specifically asked me to pick you up." Old Lin greeted the two of them politely, and then got straight to the point. He didn't even care about Qiao Surong's aura and face.

From his calmness, we can tell that Lao Lin is a person who has long since put life and death aside and has experienced life and death in the world.

"What's the hurry? Mr. Qiao has been drinking, I have to send him home first." Meng Zhiling rolled her eyes at him and ignored Lao Lin. Instead, she asked him embarrassing questions and got into the car she had just driven.

Qiao Surong also smiled slightly and got into the car as if he was not paying attention to anyone. It could be said that he was openly showing off his status in Meng Zhiling's heart, and Ming Shunde could only wait until his excellent Meng Meng was in a good mood before he would agree to anything he asked for.

Faced with Meng Zhiling's deliberate difficulties, Lao Lin still had no expression on his face. He just nodded, then got back into the car and followed Meng Zhiling's car all the way. When Meng Zhiling moved faster, he moved faster, and when Meng Zhiling moved slower, he moved slower. The whole process was like a big battle between police and criminals. You can't get rid of me, but likewise, I can't catch you.

After returning to the apartment, Meng Zhiling sent Qiao Surong upstairs, and Lao Lin followed her upstairs. He just stood at the door politely, not disturbing her, and just waited quietly.

Time passed slowly. Meng Zhiling thought that Lao Lin had left, but when she opened the door, she saw that he was still standing there like a sculpture, as if the strand of white hair on his forehead had turned white due to waiting.

"Let's go, Butler Lin." Meng Zhiling shook her head helplessly, finally threw her backpack and walked ahead coolly.

"Knock knock knock..." After returning to the Ming family, Meng Zhiling followed Lao Lin to Ming Shunde's study. She heard Lao Lin knocking on the door rhythmically and forcefully. The strength of each knock was almost the same, and there was no difference in the sound of each knock.

From this we can see that this person is no ordinary person and should have some background in martial arts. No wonder he is so valued by Ming Shunde.

"Come in!" Meng Zhiling was getting impatient when an old voice finally came from inside.

Then the door was pushed open by Lao Lin, and Meng Zhiling walked in. Lao Lin closed the door respectfully and stood guard at the door to make sure no one came close to eavesdrop.

"Girl, you've made me wait a little too long. What's wrong? Are you a little impatient after asking you to wait at the door for two minutes?" Ming Shunde put down the "Art of War" in his hand, and looked at Meng Zhiling who was already sitting on the sofa next to him, with a faint smile on his face, as if he was doting, but at the same time, it was like an old man who had regained his youth and was angry with a young person.

"If you don't tell me the truth directly, I don't want to wait even for a minute. I'm leaving now." Meng Zhiling made a move to stand up, but Ming Shunde, who had already walked over, suddenly grabbed her shoulders and pushed her back.

"Okay, since you are so curious and anxious, why do you want to delay time deliberately?" Ming Shunde raised his eyebrows again, as if all the routines were useless in front of Meng Zhiling, so he could only complain in front of her, but even when complaining, his eyes and tone were full of tolerance and pampering, which Meng Zhiling could feel more and more clearly.

"Are you going to tell me or not?" Meng Zhiling's eyes widened, as if to say, "If you don't tell me, I'll leave now. I don't want to listen to your nonsense."

Sure enough, this trick is quite effective for Ming Shunde.

"Just sit down. The iced mung bean soup is ready. I know you like it. Let's talk while we drink it." Ming Shunde took off the lid on the table, revealing two very delicate and beautiful bowls. The bowls contained mung bean porridge that was still icy. The moment he opened the lid, he could smell the fragrance of mung beans from afar.

"Okay, since you are so sincere, I will listen to your nagging with reluctance." Meng Zhiling picked up the whistle, put a mouthful of mung bean porridge in her mouth, and said with a very proud face,

Ming Shunde smiled helplessly. As expected, this girl was mischievous, capable, responsible, and unpretentious. "Listen carefully, I have already investigated the truth about your father's case. However, this matter is of great importance and involves many important people. So you must promise me first that you will not get excited after hearing this. Don't do anything exciting or behave in any way, especially towards the Ming family!"
