Chapter 190: Why is he always looking at us
Chapter 190
Xiao Ya wasn't too troubled. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Then let's go somewhere else."
On the contrary, Ke Muning was very unhappy: "So much trouble!"
If Xiao Ya wasn't "kidnapped," she would have to go back to Wei Lin's side...
At this time, Wei Lin actually didn't have much time to chase after Xiao Ya.
After exchanging greetings with others and a round of toasts, Wei Lin grabbed Xing Siyun's hand and led her behind a security door.
The door blocked out the noise from the banquet hall, and the surrounding space instantly became deathly quiet.
Xing Siyun nervously asked, "Don't we need to look after her?"
"Who? You mean Xiao Ya? Wei Wenjuan gave her bodyguards. Besides, nothing will happen at Mr. Jefferson's banquet." Wei Lin was quite certain about this point.
After saying this, he looked at Xing Siyun and asked, "Why did you come here?"
"Xiao Ya said the old man is willing to hold a wedding for you and me."
Wei Lin's expression froze instantly.
He must be crazy to marry an idiot like Xing Siyun!
"You don't want to?" Xing Siyun immediately sensed his emotions.
If they were back in China, it would be fine, but now they were in a foreign country. Xing Siyun's heart was instantly filled with a bit of trepidation. She needed to forcefully confirm something.
So she took Wei Lin's hand and placed it on her belly: "Didn't you hear on the phone? I'm carrying your child..."
Wei Lin withdrew his hand: "Xiao Ya brought you here just to use you against me."
Old Mrs. Feng had already said this, so Xing Siyun's expression didn't change at all when she heard these words.
She wasn't stupid.
If Wei Lin didn't want to take responsibility, then the little girl's use of her would become her bargaining chip.
Sometimes, to make a man treat you well, being nice and polite is useless. Since that's the case, why not make him feel threatened?
Knowing that he can't easily get rid of you, he will reassess your value.
Xing Siyun clutched her slightly aching belly, took a deep breath, and said, "I don't understand. She calls you uncle, she's close to you, why would she want to go against you?"
Wei Lin looked at her: "Are you really stupid or just pretending?"
Then tell me! Why? What did you do?
Xing Siyun's eyes flickered, silently waiting for Wei Lin to continue.
But Wei Lin had no intention of elaborating, and just said coldly, "Since you're pregnant, you shouldn't stay in such a dangerous place. I'll arrange for someone to send you back to China tomorrow."
"Don't you want to marry me?" Xing Siyun grabbed his hand, refusing to let go.
"Want to hear the truth?" Wei Lin said coldly, "Sleeping with you was only to humiliate the Wei Wenjuan brothers, just to strike at them, to make them fall into despair again. But I didn't expect you to be so useless that you couldn't even make either of them fall for you."
"Aren't you afraid I'll tell all this to the old man?"
"Go ahead, tell him you slept with me. The old man will deal with you first. You think the old man doesn't know about my ambitions? He has no choice, he's old, he can't find a successor."
"There's Xiao Ya now... Xiao Ya can be the successor."
"A child of a few years old? I know the old man has started active treatment recently, wanting to hang on until Xiao Ya grows up. But with him going away for treatment, there's no one at home who can keep things under control. Xiao Ya bringing you here was a terrible decision. It's too dangerous here, who knows when she might die mysteriously?"
Wei Lin paused for a moment: "You don't think that by coming here with her to force a marriage, I'd be scared, do you?"
He then shook his head: "To be honest, this is truly my territory. Don't count on a little girl to make decisions for you, go back."
"I won't go, I won't go!" Xing Siyun cried, shaking her head.
Wei Lin pushed open the door to return to the banquet hall, saying without looking back: "Why bother? If you want to have this child, then have it, I'll give it a share of the inheritance in the future. But don't think about marrying me... your family wouldn't agree either, clear your head."
Xing Siyun tremblingly took out her phone and pressed "End Call."
It took just a second or two.
Just as she had broken out in a cold sweat, Wei Lin suddenly came back.
"Although I think you shouldn't be stupid enough to do this..." Wei Lin looked down at her phone, "but it's best to let me check."
"Check what?" Xing Siyun's face was still tear-stained.
Wei Lin snatched it from her, skillfully entered the lock screen password, checked it thoroughly, and then handed it back to her.
"You suspect I was recording?" Xing Siyun glared at him.
"Afraid you'd do something stupid." Wei Lin patted her face.
Xing Siyun stared at him painfully: "I really hate you..."
"You're the one who clung to me, why hate me?" Wei Lin shook his head and walked out again.
Xing Siyun immediately collapsed to the ground, drained of energy.
She had brought two phones to the foreign country. One was her commonly used iPhone, the other an Android phone.
The Android phone had a function that could automatically record calls.
She didn't know if it would be useful... but anyway, she had to try to increase her bargaining power.
Xing Siyun wiped away her tears and walked out. It was okay, her heart hurt a little, but not too much. After all, she indeed loved money more and was eager to escape her family's control.
If Wei Lin couldn't give her what she wanted, maybe the little one could...
By this time, Xiao Ya had already returned the coat to Ke Muning, said goodbye to him, and walked back to Wei Lin's side on her own.
Wei Lin asked in surprise: "Done saying hello?"
Xiao Ya nodded.
At this moment, Ke Muning also reappeared in the banquet hall with Jefferson.
Everyone fell silent for a moment.
Even Wei Lin's body tensed up a bit.
"Did you talk to Ke Muning?" Wei Lin couldn't help but ask.
"Yes." This was the truth.
Wei Lin thought to himself, keep bragging. He felt uncomfortable just seeing Ke Muning, let alone a little kid...
"He's been staring at us since he came out..." Wei Lin said, feeling more uneasy.
Not just staring.
Wei Lin even felt that Ke Muning seemed to want to kill him on the spot.
After saying this, Wei Lin looked down again to check Xiao Ya's expression.
Damn it, this kid actually didn't seem panicked at all...
At this moment, a waiter approached with a tray containing some Chinese snacks and milk.
Wei Lin raised his hand to loosen his tie and reached out to take a snack from the tray.
But the waiter dodged, avoiding his movement.
Wei Lin was stunned for a moment.
He saw the waiter turn and present the tray to Xiao Ya, saying, "These are all for you."
Xiao Ya took the entire tray, placed it on a small table nearby, and began to eat slowly while guarding the small table.
Her phone rang abruptly.
Xiao Ya looked down for a moment.
— Ke Muning's number.
Then she looked up towards Ke Muning and saw him smile at her.
Xiao Ya blinked but didn't answer the call.
Wei Lin sat down next to her and asked, "Did Mr. Jefferson prepare this specially for you?"
Xing Siyun remained silent on the side, thinking to herself that it sounded like Xiao Ya had a much brighter future than Wei Lin.
Meanwhile, Ke Muning was puzzled: "Why won't she answer my call now that she's back with Wei Lin?"
He irritably scrolled through the call list.
Suddenly he noticed those few missed calls from Xiao Ya.
Ke Muning paused, then called back.
No answer.
He called again.
Still no answer.
He called like this until the fifth time.
Finally, the other end picked up.
Ke Muning gritted his teeth: "Little crazy girl, quite the grudge-holder, aren't you?"
