Fall in love with your enemy

Chapter 366 Before the Rain (Part )

Continuing from the last time, Gao Xinci gave me a long lecture on nonsense, and I got annoyed after a long time, so I pried his hand apart and was about to leave. After all, we hadn't gotten back together yet, so I couldn't do whatever I wanted. Gao Xinci saw that the hard way didn't work, so he had to try the soft way, and he held my arm tightly, swaying for a long time before looking back and putting his hands on his hips.

"Humph! You're leaving, huh? Then go ahead and don't listen to my business anymore."

I just made a 180-degree turn right on the spot. As a human being, you have to know the current situation.

"Baby! Why didn't you tell me earlier that you had something important to say? Oh, that's not right! You said that I was so anxious that I lost my mind. How could the important matter be more important than you?" I went back to Gao Xinci with a smile, but he still didn't look at me arrogantly.

Gao Xinci raised his voice and said, "Hey, who is this? Didn't you just say that I'm not doing my job properly? Why are you back to accompany me? Alcohol and sex are the worst kind of thing. Mr. Fu, please go back quickly."

"How could I say those four words——"

Bah, you are such a fake brother. If you really dislike me, don't let me hold you up straight. I pursed my lips, smiled and tiptoed to kiss Gao Xinci's collarbone. I couldn't really reach his mouth, so I made do with it. When he was in my arms, I looked up at his face. Why do I always feel that his nose is getting longer and longer and is about to poke the moon? What bedtime story did I read last night? Pinocchio? Oh my god, it came true.

"Well, okay, since you are quite sincere, I will mercifully tell you." Gao Xinci breathed a sigh of relief and finally hugged me and put me back on the table to let me sit. He turned back and took out a few papers from the desk cabinet and handed them to me: "The news of Liang Yun's death has spread. The people I arranged said that someone came to William's house and persuaded him to come out. From the looks of it, it looks like his and his wife's child. The person didn't hide much and ran around casually. Mo Nian also went to see him. The two talked for a while, and then the man went back to He Yun."

At this moment, the only ones who could persuade William were Jiang Yinan and Nanxing. As expected, Nanxing went back. I breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Liang Yun could hold the funeral and her body was burned, at least the biggest loophole for me would be eliminated and time would not be so tight.

But suddenly another thought came into my mind, and I tensed up again. I turned around and looked at Gao Xinci: "The whole Linjiang knows about this, why didn't I get the news? When did this happen?"

"Early this morning." Gao Xinci shrugged, walked over to me and hugged me soothingly, "Shishi, if you didn't receive it, your message might have been intercepted by William. If the only way you keep an eye on William is Jiang Yinan, then the hidden line is really easy to find. After all, Jiang Yinan was raised by William. No matter how smart he is, wasn't everything taught by William? So even if he doesn't betray you, you really can't put all your hopes on him."

I realized what was going on from the second sentence. I waited for Gao Xinci to finish speaking before I stupidly asked, "When did you know about Jiang Yinan's situation?"

Gao Xinci was stunned for a moment, and moved back to the window as if he didn't dare to face it. "I just learned the details. I had some suspicions before, but after all, I had no evidence, so I couldn't tell you anything."

"Does your "before" refer to now or the previous life? Before I was with him or after?"

"Last life, after that..."

"Afterwards?" I smiled bitterly. It's not like this word is better than "before". At least he didn't watch me sink step by step. He was already deeply involved. I think even if he really told me at that time, I wouldn't believe it. Things have come to this point. I don't want to argue about the past with Gao Xinci anymore. I don't want to make the situation so awkward. I smiled and said, "Didn't it explode your worldview?"

"It's not bad. Tan Yu has turned from my aunt into my aunt. She and my uncle have a child, and I don't know whether he is my cousin or my cousin." Gao Xinci came back with a smile, made two funny faces, hugged my waist and acted coquettishly: "Shishi, the person who went to William's house must be the real Lin Modu, right? What is his name now? It can't be... when the vixen is here, he is called Lin Modu, and when the vixen leaves, he is called Jiang Yinan again. Won't they feel confused? If William shouts in the house, they don't know who to call and they will be so anxious that they will bang their heads against the wall?"

"He changed his name a long time ago. The identity of 'Lin Modu' became disliked by everyone. He is now called Nanxing." I said without looking up as I looked at the information Gao Xinci gave me. The pieces of paper showed the network of relationships between our two families' secret agents.

Gao Xinci frowned but I didn't know what he was thinking. After a long while, he suddenly grabbed my waist and his eyes widened: "Jiang Yinan and Nanxing, are they a couple?!"

"What nonsense are you talking about!" I grabbed a few pieces of paper and hit Gao Xinci. To tell you the truth, I really made him tremble.

I suddenly remembered that when I was having dinner with William, he also talked to me about this problem. He said that both of his children's names contain "Nan", and he was very distressed when calling people by their nicknames. Who is he calling "Nannan"? Although Jiang Yinan immediately scolded him and told him not to call him Nannan, it was really disgusting, and calling him a vixen was better than this.

"They are a couple, then who am I?" I puffed out my cheeks and sulked. My fiancée was clearly sitting here, but I had stepped into Gao Xinci's trap.

"You and I are a pair." Gao Xinci hugged me and took a deep breath.

But actually I don't quite understand every time he does this. If he wants to kiss me, I can accept it, but what is he doing with this sniff? Is it because I smell good? Or is he trying to absorb my yang energy?

I pushed his head away: "Okay, is this all you want to tell me?" I raised the papers in my hand: "I've finished reading it, and I'm leaving now."

"Alas, the world is so fickle. When it comes to dating, you still have to consider the other person's usefulness. Fortunately, I was prepared -"

I turned 180 degrees again, turned it over and pasted it again with a perfect professional smile. In my heart, I really wanted to turn it over and pour out all at once, or give it a hole to plug in a USB drive so that I could export it.

"Okay, baby, if you have anything else to say, can you please say it all at once? After all, we are all very busy and have to go to the party soon, right~"

Gao Xinci was satisfied, and sighed and said, "Linjiang is a little chaotic. You are the backbone. If you are not here at this time, there will be no place to discuss things. Everyone is a little panicked. My mother quickly returned to Linjiang and had a brief chat with Uncle Zhao and Uncle Hou. They calmed down and asked other families to stay safe and quiet. They accepted the funeral invitation, but you also know that William often goes crazy when Liang Yun is around. She died suddenly... Although if William often has seizures, there will be more opportunities to catch him and throw him into a mental hospital, but whoever becomes the bait will be unlucky. The Wei family has been forced away. Who can predict where William will move next? Those who have the government as their backing are fine, but the others are really waiting to die."

"The Zhao family is very powerful, and the Yun family and the Hou family are not in a hurry. The first one to be squeezed out will probably be one of the Xiang family and the Meng family." I thought about it and said.

"It's probably the Meng family." Gao Xinci continued, "Shishi, do you remember in the last life, didn't Zening fall in love with the second son of the Meng family? At that time, the Meng family had already declined a lot, and the uncle didn't like him and was reluctant to let Zening marry him. Fortunately, his second son was honest and obedient, so you helped him. Our family put in some effort to support the business, and Meng Qinyuan went home and sent his brother to marry into the family."

"William did the Meng family thing?" I pursed my lips. "Why do I remember that William hadn't come to Linjiang at that time? Wasn't it because old man Meng shamelessly found the seventeenth concubine that forced Meng Qinyuan to rebel and fight among himself? I went to watch the fun. Oh, you don't know about this. You seem to be at work. Xiangyang and I went there."

Gao Xinci was amused and shrugged his shoulders: "There is such a thing, I mixed it up, the time span is a bit long, I forgot, but I remember that something happened in the family of a son-in-law in my uncle's family."

"How is it possible? There is only one son-in-law in my uncle's family, and that's Meng Hangsheng. How could there be anyone else?"

"No, I remember now. It wasn't Meng Hangsheng. It was someone else. I remember that every time I went to my uncle's house, he was there. He was the one Zexin had a premature love affair with. When the matter was reported to the family, my uncle was almost mad to death. You even went to the school to break up the couple, but she took the opportunity to cry and make a scene and even went to live at my uncle's house. We were planning to get engaged when we were in a cold war, but they didn't rush to do it because something happened later."

I was stunned for a moment before I figured out who he was talking about. I turned around and put my hands on my hips with a straight face: "Then do you want to think of a name for your brother-in-law?"

"It's not like I don't remember his name. It's Xiang Beiyin... Wait, Xiang?"

"Isn't he also Xiang Lingchen's brother? The Xiang family's weakness fits the timeline of William coming to Linjiang. Why don't you say that Xiang Lingchen's family was also deceived by William, so he sent a beauty trap."

Gao Xinci's mouth was shaped like an "O" and he came close to me and started a conspiracy theory: "Is it true?"

"He's a monster!" I patted his head. "Ze Xin married him, and I even prepared a dowry. Xiang Beiyin is a good kid with good grades. He plans to run his own company with Ze Xin after graduation. When will he become a son-in-law? He is just clingy."

"Stick to father-in-law? Didn't my uncle hate him at the beginning? And she still wanted to marry Ze Xin to him? And let him live at home, which doesn't count as marrying into the family." Gao Xinci frowned, puzzled.

I pursed my lips and glanced at Gao Xinci helplessly: "To marry a wife, you need strong abilities and a shameless personality. My whole family has always hated you, but you still married me, right?"

"That's true." Gao Xinci hugged me from behind and swayed me, using his shameless trick again to force a kiss on me. "Hey Shishi, I understand being clingy, but you say he doesn't want to go back to his own home at all? What about his parents? I've met Xiang Lingchen a few times since graduation, and I've heard him talk about his family, but he never mentioned that he has a younger brother."

"If your parents remarry and give you a brother or sister, will you care about him?"

"No." Gao Xinci pursed his lips and shook his head in disgust.

I waved my hands, "Isn't it settled? The Xiang family and the Meng family are different. Xiang Lingchen's younger brother was born to his father's second wife, so he couldn't complain about his father, nor could he say anything about his stepmother and younger brother. But he always has the right to ignore people, right? So he was not very familiar with Xiang Beiyin. Later, the old couple of the Xiang family died one after another, leaving behind this pair of brothers. Xiang Lingchen was already married and had children at that time. He had his own things to do, and there was no reason for him to care about this unfamiliar brother. But Beiyin was only in junior high school. Even if he got the same property as his brother, such a young child lacked love. Later, he had a good relationship with Zexin, didn't they get together? That's why I softened my heart and persuaded my uncle that the Xiang family was good, and that he would definitely treat Zexin well in the future after being raised in their own family. When my uncle thought about it, he took him home, and later he was indeed very successful.

"As for Meng Hangsheng, he was born to a concubine and has no ability. He is stupid and obedient. Zening is used to ordering people around, so he naturally wants someone like that to be his companion. Meng Qinyuan won the family war, so he naturally has the power to influence the marriage of his disliked brother. Although he doesn't want Meng Hangsheng to live too well, there is no other way. The betrothal gift given by our family is too much. He would be a fool not to take it."

"I see. What a confusing story." Gao Xinci nodded and gave a very objective evaluation.

But in fact, this is not even one ten-thousandth of the chaos I saw with my own eyes. I love to watch the quarrel between Meng Qinyuan, his father and the seventeenth concubine the most! That is a big scene. Hou Xiangyang listened for a long time and didn't understand. It was me who sorted out the relationship chart for him and gave him a handful of melon seeds.

"By the way, you have been watching Xiang Beiyin living at home, but you never asked him why?" I asked with a shrug.

When Gao Xinci was mentioned, his face suddenly turned serious, and he said in a very gloomy tone: "Oh~ I thought he was the head of the family. Aren't the heads of the ladies' families all child husbands? Just like the one around us, I tolerated the second uncle, and now there's a third uncle!"

"Are you jealous of Feng Shizhi? Isn't Liang Sen also the boss? Why didn't I see you jealous of him before?"

"He is old, and I always treat him as my uncle." Gao Xinci smiled maliciously.

You know what, this coincides with my previous thoughts. I even said in person that I would always treat him as a good uncle. Now it seems that there is really a difference in generation between us. He is my cousin.

"Well - if that's the case, the Xiang family took the lead." Gao Xinci said slowly while leaning on my shoulder, and suddenly asked me: "Should we remind the Xiang family? Or should we go back immediately and get together to discuss the follow-up arrangements?"

"We can't meet. Once we meet, we will be in opposition. William may think we are provoking him even if he didn't intend to do so. As for the Xiang family, it's true that the Xiang uncle and aunt are too aggressive. It's easy for William to target them, but there's no need to remind them for now." I sighed and leaned on Gao Xinci's head. "William blocked the news from me. He may have become suspicious of me. I will be the first one to go after him."

"What should we do?" Gao Xinci was a little anxious now. He stood up and made me face him. "How about I take you away? In Gao's house, William can't be so powerful that he can break into my house."

"It's not time for you to fight him yet. If William joins forces with Qin Yu, all your previous preparations will be in vain. Don't be impulsive for me." I pinched Gao Xinci's face and said, "Don't worry. Of course I will prepare a way out for myself. If I really have no other choice one day, I will definitely go to you for help."

Gao Xinci was still worried, but he had nothing to say. Even if he was willing to give up everything for me, he didn't have enough ability to protect me before taking back the Gao family. It would be better for him to follow my wishes and listen to my arrangements.

"What's the fallback? Jiang Yinan?" Gao Xinci frowned and sighed, "But William must know who his hidden agent is."

"He is still included in my plan, including the southward journey. Although their secret agents have been caught, they themselves are also a line and can be useful. I have another trump card, but I cannot tell you now. Even if the fish is dead and the net is broken, I will strangle this fish first and fix my net. Even if I am barely alive, I will definitely survive. William is not the end. I still have a long way to go." I hugged him and comforted him.

"But you must tell me whatever you are going to do. You taught me this. We are husband and wife, so we should share the joys and sorrows." Gao Xinci said firmly.

I smiled and nodded.

It's a pity that I have to lie to him this time. We are no longer husband and wife. If we were just partners, we could share the joys and sorrows. But in this case, we can't even share the joys.

I became more and more absent-minded as I looked at the information in my hand. I thought that if William confirmed that Liang Yun was indeed killed by me, he should come to stop me directly. But now there is only interception of the message and no other threats. I am afraid that he will know something else. I can only take the path that I least want to see. What a pity.

As he was thinking, some words came out of his mouth: "If William died, Liang Yun would commit suicide for love. Tell me, Liang Yun died, why didn't William die right after? He was able to survive for so many days. He is really so cruel and ungrateful."
