Chapter 186: The True Rival In Love
The reply caught Meng Ruoting by surprise. It seemed like her concern was unnecessary, now that she realized her Sister-in-law would not be deceived that easily.
She reckoned the drama between Chu Wuyou and Ye Lanchen would only get more interesting. It was a shame that she could not stay longer to join in the fun.
Meng Ruoting figured there was nothing else to say in this situation. She only had to sit back and relax as the exciting show unfolded itself.
Of course, she was still certain that her Sister-in-law could not defeat her treacherous and evil Elder Brother.
“I’m leaving soon. Both of you should send me off at the very least.” She decided to “lend a hand” to her Elder Brother before leaving the country.
Chu Wuyou was stunned for a couple of seconds. Did Meng Ruoting mean Ye Lanchen and herself?
It seemed perfectly reasonable for him to send Meng Ruoting off to the airport but why should she tag along too?
“I’m gonna leave now and Elder Sister Chu has already agreed to send me off. What about you? Why don’t you give us a lift?” A wide grin spread across Meng Ruoting’s face when she discovered Ye Lanchen by the door.
Her tone was unbelievably sweet when she called the other woman Elder Sister Chu. Chu Wuyou was surprised and bewildered.
Ye Lanchen threw a cold glance at his sister. Without saying a word, he walked away to grab the car keys.
He had made his intention explicitly clear.
Meng Ruoting laughed internally. She knew very well that her Elder Brother would never agree to give her a lift if she had not asked her Sister-in-law to tag along.
Chu Wuyou wanted to refuse because she felt strange to be the unwelcomed third party. However, Meng Ruoting hurried her out of the house before she had a chance to say no.
Ye Lanchen was already waiting for them in the car. Meng Ruoting pushed her into the passenger seat without commenting further.
The indifferent expression on his face softened visibly. At least the little girl was not totally mean and unsympathetic.
Chu Wuyou was taken aback. She was feeling rather awkward to be forced into this position.
However, Ye Lanchen and Meng Ruoting seemed unperturbed as if this was the most natural thing to do.
Chu Wuyou blinked blankly. What was actually going on? What was the real deal between these two?
Could it be possible that her previous judgment was wrong?
Meng Ruoting leaned forward to Chu Wuyou after she got into the car. It appeared that she intended to say something.
However, Ye Lanchen threw her a deathly glare filled with intimidation almost immediately.
She pouted in frustration but did not comment further.
As a result, no one uttered a word and heavy silence fell upon the car.
“I need to do some shopping at the mall. Can you please drop me off over there?” Chu Wuyou realized they were soon approaching a mall hence she decided to seize this opportunity to take her leave. She needed to purchase some things for her two darlings anyway.
There remained a heavy tension in the air throughout the entire car ride and she could not tolerate it any longer.
Meng Ruoting did not object this time around. In a matter of seconds, Ye Lanchen had already pulled the car to a halt in front of the mall’s entrance.
The car sped past at the flash of a silhouette.
“You can get out of the car too.” Ye Lanchen instructed almost as soon as Chu Wuyou stepped into the mall.
“Hey, how could you? I’m your sister.” Meng Ruoting pouted in annoyance. How could he be so outright biased?
In actuality, she was not surprised at all even though she was displeased. She dared not dream of getting a free ride from her Elder Brother now that her Sister-in-law had already taken her leave.
“Elder Brother, are you going to spy on Sister-in-law?” Meng Ruoting teased playfully once she stepped out of the car. “Why do you have to watch over her at all times? It’s not like my Sister-in-law is going to meet a secret lover.”
Ye Lanchen looked at her coldly through a narrowed gaze.
Of course he needed to watch over his own wife.
“Wuyou, I’ve returned to Jin City. We should meet up soon.” Chu Wuyou received a phone call from her senior as soon as she walked into the mall.
