Chapter 761: Shameless and Aboveboard

Upon hearing Yan Kuan’s words, Huang Yueyan merely smiled and said, “You’re also quite good at these women’s tricks. Oh, that’s not right. I remember that it was first proposed by 19. Don’t you think that the people of your Dark Empire are all so shameless and aboveboard?”
‘When those news broke out, it would be strange if Jiang Haoming’s wife didn’t make a scene. That was the eldest daughter of the second-in-command’s family. If it wasn’t for Jiang Haoran’s disapproval of the marriage alliance back then, it wouldn’t have been Jiang Haoming’s turn to be a
good-for-nothing person.
Moreover, he would take whatever came his way. Jiang Haoming’s only son was 17 years old, and his style of doing things was no different from Jiang Haoming’s. Therefore, Jiang Haoming’s wife was more and more displeased with Jiang Haoming.
“Now that this matter has been blown up, it would be fine if the couple could suppress it. But once it blows up, the second-in-command, the Kong family, will not be easy to deal with.”
“That’s the effect I wanted. If I make him unable to take care of himself, he will be able to live a stable New Year, won’t he?”
Huang Yueyan smiled and took out her phone to make a call. She had brought Eel back to the country. Not to mention that the kid really had some skills, she could use him wherever she wanted.
It was best to leave these things to him. Moreover, he was a foreigner and didn’t understand the crooked ways of the country. Even if Jiang Haoming and the others wanted to bribe him, it wouldn’t be of any help.
After the matter was settled, Yan Kuan threw the children to Huang Yueyan, turned around, and went out to look for Xiaoxiao…
Pei Meimei couldn’t figure out why her brother, whom she had always missed, seemed to have become a completely different person after he returned to the country.
‘Whether it was in his work or his thoughts, he had become extremely extreme.
Back then, neither the Ouyang family nor the Pei family recognized her, nor did they care about her. Other than her brother, she was like an abandoned child.
She was known as a rich young lady, but in reality, she was not even comparable to a daughter from a small family.
Especially after the fall of the Ouyang family, her marriage was also affected and the other party broke off the engagement. Her life was even worse.
Other than the money that Pei Li gave her every month for living expenses, she was really useless. Her studies were also suspended. She had thought of going out to look for a job, but she always felt that she could not wipe away her face.
There was even a period of time when she was thick-skinned enough to return to the Pei family. She wanted to be used by the Pei family for marriage. This way, at least she still had some value. At least this way, she would not have to live a hard life.
However, the Pei family had long looked down on her. There was no other way. She still had to live alone.
Earlier, her brother Pei Li had asked her to get close to their ‘cousin’ Qian Dong. She was actually very unwilling. He was a useless cousin. His father, Qian Weiming, had fled the country. His whereabouts were unknown, and his mother had been in a coma in the sanatorium.
No matter what, this was not a good choice.
However, over the past few years, Qian Dong had really taken a liking to her. She did not have money and did not like to work. Qian Dong, who was two years younger than her, went to work to earn money for her.
Especially after her big brother’s accident, her days became more and more miserable. However, Qian Dong still did not abandon her.
Even a rock could be warmed up, not to mention the person who had always been by her side when she was at her most helpless.
However, she did not expect that her beloved big brother would actually tell her that he was going to let her marry someone from the Jiang family. After that, her entire being was in a bad state.
Back then, when Pei Dongguo wanted her to compete with Liu Yufei for Dongyou Country, she had rejected him. She knew that she was not that type of person.
Therefore, when she was preparing to live peacefully with Qian Dong, not only did her elder brother return, he even told her that he had found a good home for her.
‘What kind of joke was this?
If it had been earlier, she might have agreed. But now, how could she agree? She was already pregnant with Qian Dong’s child. They were already preparing to get married. She would never agree.
However, Pei Li told her that Qian Dong’s father, Qian Weiming, had escaped abroad and taken away a ledger. This ledger not only recorded some of the Pei family’s secrets, but also some of the families that were related to the Pei family.
Some of them were unlucky because of the fall of the Ouyang family, but some of them were not. That ledger was now targeted by the Jiang family, and they wanted to get their hands on it.
As long as he got the account book, Pei Li could get unlimited benefits.
And Pei Meimei naturally became the target of Pei Li.
At this moment, he told Pei Meimei that he could let her marry into the Jiang family, which gave Pei Meimei a bright future. Because in Pei Li’s eyes, his sister had always wanted to marry into a wealthy family.
But the prerequisite was that Pei Meimei had to help Pei Li get Qian Weiming’s account book from Qian Dong.
Pei Li did not know that Qian Weiming had been handed over to Jiang Haoting by Yan Kuan. However, Yan Kuan did not hand over the subsequent account book. This was also Yan Kuan’s trump card. Now… since Jiang Haoting did not take over the military power, he had to capture the political power
tightly.
Therefore, he had to get his hands on the account book that could threaten half of the country.
Under the investigation of all parties, Jiang Haoting set his eyes on Qian Dong. After investigating all the way, it was naturally Pei Li’s turn.
“Brother, I will not marry Jiang Haoran. Not to mention how old he is, even I am not worthy of him.”
“Meimei, you are so beautiful. How can you not be worthy of Jiang Haoran? You are not married. It is his fortune that Jiang Haoran married you.”
“Brother, stop talking. I just feel that things are going well now.”
“How much money can you earn from that small shop you’re running now? I know that you suffered a lot when Brother got into trouble, so now that Brother is back, he must arrange for your escape route, right?”
“Don’t worry. Brother will never cheat you.”
“Brother, I’m really not suitable. Besides, I haven’t thought about living a rich woman’s life these years. I think things are good now. Brother, do you still remember Qian Dong?”
Pei Meimei wanted to tell Pei Li about her and Qian Dong, but she had never thought that Pei Li’s goal was Qian Dong, As soon as Pei Meimei took the initiative to mention it, Pei Li said, “How can I not remember our cousin? This matter has something to do with Qian Dong.”
In Pei Li’s world, he still felt that Pei Meimei was definitely the sister who always thought of everything for him back then. Therefore, when he mentioned Qian Dong, Pei Li did not realize that Pei Meimei felt it was inappropriate and immediately revealed his plan.
Pei Meimei had real feelings for Qian Dong, Furthermore, she was not related to Qian Dong by blood. Even though they were cousins, it was just an expression. Furthermore, she was currently pregnant with Qian Dong’s child.
However, when she heard that Qian Dong was actually related to the Jiang family, she curiously asked, “Brother, what do you mean by saying that? Why is it related to Qian Dong?”
“It’s like this…”
