Coming of the Villain Boss! - Chapter 667

Chapter 667: Liu Qing and Cheng Gui (14)

Liu Xinyue sat on the cold floor as she looked at Ming Shu’s wide smile. There was a ball of fire in her heart and she felt embarrassed.

She actually made her fall in front of the guest.

And from that expression, she was trying to tell her that she did it on purpose!

“Xinyue, are you okay?” Father Liu got a shock too. He went to help Liu Xinyue up. “Why were you so clumsy?”

“Father, it was my little sister,” Liu Xinyue complained softly.

Since there were outsiders here, she couldn’t get angry, but her father could help her.

Father Liu thought back to what happened. The chair was definitely behind Liu Xinyue so why would she fall down? Someone did it on purpose.

However, Cheng Gui was present so Father Liu didn’t get angry on the spot. He signaled at Liu Xinyue with his eyes and asked her to sit down.

The atmosphere at the breakfast table was really weird. This rich and useless Lord Cheng seemed dissatisfied with the breakfast and put down his spoon after only eating a bit of it.

Ming Shu finished her breakfast and prepared to leave.

Don’t leave?

If she didn’t leave, was she supposed to wait for Father Liu to scold her?

“Master Liu, can you let Second Young Lady Liu show me around the village?” Cheng Gui suddenly said.

Father Liu quickly replied, “Liu Qing is really rowdy and has no manners. I can let Xinyue show you around…”

Cheng Gui looked at Liu Xinyue. “I heard that Miss Xinyue is already engaged. It is not good for me to go out with her. The Second Young Lady is more suitable. What do you think, Master Liu?”

Once she heard about her engagement, Liu Xinyue’s nails dug into her palm.

That was the one thing she didn’t want to admit.

How could someone like Li Shen be her husband?

Since Cheng Gui had given his opinion, Father Liu could only say to Ming Shu, “Liu Qing, show Lord Cheng around the village. Treat him well and don’t cause trouble. Did you hear me?”

Ming Shu ran away.

Everyone: “…”

Father Liu was so angry and embarrassed. “Lord Cheng, this…”

Cheng Gui got up and said mysteriously, “Your daughter is really lively. Since she is not willing to do it, I will take a look around myself.”

“Lord Cheng, shall I send someone?”

“No need.”

Father Liu watched as Cheng Gui left with his two pretty maids. He couldn’t help but exclaim that people from the Capital were indeed different. Even the servant girls were different.

“Father Liu, who is this Lord Cheng?” Liu Xinyue frowned and asked Father Liu. As a person who read the whole story, she didn’t know about this person at all.

“I heard that he is from the Cheng family at the Capital. That very powerful Cheng family.” Father Liu sighed. “I don’t know what Lord Cheng is doing here, either.”

From the Capital.

Could it be… but he shouldn’t be here so early!

“He didn’t say anything?”

“No.” He tried to ask him, but that Cheng Gui didn’t give him any useful information. He just appeared to be replying to him.

“Why did you let him stay at our house, then?”

“He wants to stay here. What can I do? These people are powerful. How can small people like us provoke them? The county magistrate personally sent someone to tell me to treat him well.”

Liu Xinyue fell into deep thought.

“Xinyue.” Father Liu suddenly looked at her. “I heard from the county magistrate that this Lord Cheng is the only son of the Cheng family. Xinyue, I know that you don’t want to marry Li Shen. I don’t like Li Shen, either. There is a chance now…”

The thoughts that Liu Xinyue didn’t dare to have started popping up due to what Father Liu said.

If she could grab a hold of this big figure, would she still have to stay here?

Also…

“Father, are there a lot of people who know that Liu Qing was adopted?”

Father Liu though for a while. “Quite a lot of people know about it… what’s the matter?”

He didn’t hide the matter back then since a baby couldn’t just appear from nowhere, right? His wife wasn’t pregnant so the child couldn’t have dropped from the sky, either.

“Father…” Liu Xinyue leaned toward Father Liu and whispered in his ear.

“This…”

“Father, listen to me.” Liu Xinyue looked really serious.

Father Liu didn’t know what Liu Xinyue wanted to do. He finally relented after Liu Xinyue persuaded him.

–

Cheng Gui caught up with Ming Shu the moment she left the Liu residence.

A whole platoon of servant girls and imperial bodyguards followed behind him. They seemed out of place in this small village road.

Cheng Gui strode alongside Ming Shu. “Are you afraid of me?”

“Am I afraid of you?” Ming Shu scoffed. “Why would I be afraid of you?”

“Then why are you hiding from me?” Cheng Gui said. “You can’t be shy, right?”

Cheng Gui sounded like a playboy as he reached the end of his sentence.

Shy your head!

Am I someone who will be shy?

“Will you treat a stranger nicely?” Ming Shu asked him back. “I am not familiar with you. Who knows what motives you have.”

I did it for my safety, okay?

Cheng Gui placed his hands behind his head. “We have already met each other two times. We are not strangers now, right? Also, you said that you don’t like me. Why?”

“You don’t look like someone I will like.” Ming Shu walked faster.

Cheng Gui: “…” What kind of reason was that?

Cheng Gui looked at Ming Shu’s back and caught up with her after a moment. “Do you know how many young ladies in the Capital are eyeing this face?”

“I don’t want to know how many girls want to strip your face off. Please don’t follow me.”

Strip? Strip it off?!

Cheng Gui was certain that he heard correctly. A chill ran up his spine.

Other people would be thinking about how this handsome face enchanted girls and guys. Why did she think about such a scary thing? Striping off his face?

F**k, an idiot’s thinking is indeed different from that of a normal person.

By the time Cheng Gui regained his composure, Ming Shu had disappeared.

The servant girl asked carefully, “Lord, are we still walking?”

“Walk for what, let’s go back.”

“…”

–

“Officer, you must have made a mistake. Why would my husband kill someone? Do not accuse a good person.”

Ming Shu had just arrived at the Qin family when she heard a pitiful scream from the household beside them. Many villagers were crowding around and looking at the commotion.

The officers came out, dragging a man behind them. The man’s face was pale. He seemed to be in shock. A woman followed behind them and tried to stop them from taking the man away.

“My husband doesn’t even dare to kill a chicken. How can he kill someone? You must have made a mistake.” The woman’s voice was really loud. You could hear her from far away.

“Don’t interrupt our work. If not, we will take you back with us too!” the officer shouted with a blackface. “Move it, what are you all crowding around for?”

“Goodness, he killed Liu San’s wife. He looked like a really humble person before.”

“You can’t judge a book by its cover.”

“I am actually living so close to a murderer. This is so scary.”

“Luckily he got caught…”

The villagers looked over in condemnation. The woman screamed even louder and grabbed the man’s elbow to stop the officers from taking him away.

“Shut up, you all. Zhu Zi would not kill anyone!” the woman screamed. “You all must have made a mistake.”

“We will know if this is a mistake after the interrogation,” the officer said. “Do not disrupt us!!”

The woman was pulled away by an officer and her husband was dragged off.
