Chapter 142: Dressed in Mourning

“Li Ting, how did you come back?”

Gu Wanyu was surprised to see Li Ting return, and she wasn’t the only one. The rest of the Li family was also astonished.

Wasn’t Li Ting supposed to be in the Luo family’s clutches? Could it be that Luo Mingde miraculously let her go? Impossible. Given the current hatred between the Luo and Li families, it would be a miracle if they let Li Ting live, let alone release her.

“Hmph, you wretched woman, you killed my father, are you surprised to see me back?”

Li Ting tried to strike Gu Wanyu.

Bang!

Gu Wanyu kicked Li Ting, sending her tumbling. She had intended to slap Li Ting, but seeing her dirt-streaked face, she couldn’t bring herself to touch her. Hitting her would only dirty her own hands.

Li Ting screamed like a slaughtered pig.

Ye Chen’s gaze sharpened. Gu Wanyu’s speed was unnaturally fast, indicating she was no weakling. His face darkened as he realized Gu Wanyu posed an even greater threat than he had anticipated.

“Accusing me of killing Li Zhong, what do you mean by this?” Gu Wanyu’s voice was icy.

She was suspicious. How could Li Ting possibly know? No, she must be guessing. But who could have rescued her? Her eyes shifted from Li Ting to rest on Ye Chen, who seemed the most likely suspect.

Did Ye Chen rescue Li Ting? And if so, what was his purpose? Gu Wanyu was certain it wasn’t out of love.

He despised Li Ting, everyone knew how reluctantly he had married her.

“You dare accuse my mother of killing my father? Watch as I beat you to death.”

Li Qiwen’s eyes flashed with ferocity as he looked at Li Ting. The resentment and jealousy he had once felt surged back, and he even harbored a killing intent.

Li Qiwen kicked Li Ting, causing her to scream again.

“Stop it,” Gu Wanyu said indifferently.

Hearing Gu Wanyu’s cold words, Li Qiwen’s body trembled slightly, and then he stopped. He was afraid of Gu Wanyu. She held something that could make his life worse than death.

A gleam passed through Ye Chen’s eyes. Why was Li Qiwen so fearful of Gu Wanyu? He didn’t remember Li Qiwen being afraid of her before. Truthfully, he didn’t know much about Gu Wanyu since she didn’t usually live with the Li family, and he had only met her a few times.

Gu Wanyu’s command to stop wasn’t out of pity for Li Ting but because she noticed some disapproving frowns among the Li family members. To avoid giving them an excuse to strip Li Qiwen of his inheritance rights, she told him to stop.

Gu Wanyu struck a tempting pose on purpose, took a photo, and sent it to Chen Luo immediately.

Chen Luo opened it and saw her in white mourning clothes, completely in pure white, seductively pure.

“To want to look attractive even in mourning clothes, indeed not wrong.”

Taking a deep breath, the temptation from Gu Wanyu was quite significant for Chen Luo. He felt he could hardly restrain himself.

“Tonight, I have to stay at the wake. I’ll send others away, leaving only me. Can you come and keep me company? I’ll be scared otherwise.”

Her tone was filled with allure.

“Hiss~!” Chen Luo clearly understood what Gu Wanyu implied with those words, and he could only say that she really knew how to play, and indeed, he was tempted. ‘Wonder if Li Zhong’s coffin can keep him down.’

Then, responding to Gu Wanyu, he said, “Alright, I’ll come over to keep you company. How could I let you be afraid?”

“Li Zhong should be so angry he comes back to life,” said Zhao Yingxuan.

Zhao Yingxuan had heard the entire conversation between Chen Luo and Gu Wanyu, including the photo Gu Wanyu sent, which made Zhao Yingxuan inwardly curse her as a foxy vixen.

Suddenly, Zhao Yingxuan’s eyes lit up, and she whispered into Chen Luo’s ear, “Although Xiao Yongqiang has been dead for a long time, his funeral hasn’t been held yet.”

“How about Xiao Qingxue and I wear identical mourning clothes at that time? What do you think?”

Zhao Yingxuan’s seductive glance made Chen Luo exclaim inwardly at her enchanting allure.

However, spurred by Zhao Yingxuan’s suggestion, Chen Luo found himself genuinely looking forward to it. Indeed, he wasn’t a good person. He eagerly anticipated such a thing.

“I’ll be waiting.”

Chen Luo kissed Zhao Yingxuan and then prepared to head over to Gu Wanyu’s place.

“I need to find an opportunity to meet that woman,” Zhao Yingxuan said, watching Chen Luo’s departing figure with a hint of grievance in her eyes.

Gu Wanyu was very playful and scheming. Zhao Yingxuan felt it necessary to meet this woman at some point to dampen her spirits. Zhao Yingxuan was jealous, worrying that Chen Luo might be enticed away by that seductress.

Chen Luo headed straight for the Li residence. By the time he arrived, including Li Ting, Li Qiwen, and Ye Chen, everyone had been cleared out by Gu Wanyu, leaving just the two of them in the villa, plus a dead person.
