The Billionaire's Mischievous Sweetheart

Chapter 1288 - 1285: She Was Framed and Nearly Lost Her Life

Sponsored

Hearing this, Qi Longbing glanced at her askance.

It was a very clear and beautiful face, with delicate features. Her large eyes had a beautiful deep purple hue, with long eyeliner extending to the side and the ends slightly upturned, giving the impression of phoenix eyes. These eyes suddenly reminded him of something.

"Marilena?!" Qi Longbing asked, surprised to encounter her again. He remembered those were things from a long time ago. Marilena was someone from Longteng Company. Back when Longteng Company had internal strife, she was framed and almost lost her life. Coincidentally, Wang Zian was fighting for business, leading to inevitable clashes between Tianli Company and Longteng Company, a struggle between life and death, and gains and losses. Of course, he had to help Wang Zian... That battle ended with Longteng Company surrendering, and there was no longer a Longteng Company. As for Marilena, she was also framed by him and Wang Zian into prison...

Unexpectedly, she got out so soon.

"Hmph! Why are you here, seeking revenge?" Qi Longbing snorted coldly, calculating internally. At the moment, she is just a mere woman trying to act against him; it’s really wishful thinking. However, he suddenly remembered how, last night when he was asleep, she had many chances... Yet, she didn’t act...

"So you do remember me after all." Marilena laughed, then slyly smiled with her phoenix eyes, "You’re very smart. If I wanted revenge, I wouldn’t wait until now. You would’ve been dead a hundred times over yesterday."

Qi Longbing pondered slightly. This woman was quite interesting, vaguely piquing his curiosity.

"Hmph, a smart woman like you probably isn’t just here for money. But regardless of your motive, you’ll never become part of the Qi Corporation." Qi Longbing made his words clear, damn it! Using such low-handed methods to entangle him; he wasn’t that foolish!! Except for Hua Xiaomo, no one else was worthy of being his wife. It’s a pity that woman was a heartless bitch.

With that said, Marilena’s face flushed dark then pale. After a moment, she smiled calmly.

"You’re wrong, I’m here for money, and only for money." Marilena said, then smiled sinisterly while looking at Qi Longbing’s handsome yet indifferent face. Honestly, he was quite charming, but the prettier the man, the more ruthless he was. She wouldn’t let herself be fooled by him. Hadn’t she suffered enough before? But then again, that prison stint wasn’t completely without benefits; there were many from Longteng Company who wanted to kill her. Spending a few peaceful years safely in jail was rather leisurely.

"The amount on that card should be enough for you." Qi Longbing reminded coldly. Thinking of extorting him? Not a chance.

To his surprise, Marilena smiled slightly and handed him the Gold Card that was thrown on the bed. Qi Longbing watched coldly without taking it, curious about what she was really up to...

"I’m returning this to you. I want to ask you for a small favor." Marilena said slyly.

As expected.

Qi Longbing looked at her with contempt. This proposal was dangerous indeed.

"And what if I refuse?" Qi Longbing said mockingly, with a hint of suspicion in his blue eyes.

"You won’t refuse, because I know you’re troubled, aren’t you?" Marilena said slowly, then slightly adjusted her shoulder-length Sassoon haircut, curling her lips slightly, "I’ll help you get the woman you want, making sure she’ll never leave you for the rest of her life..." At this point, Marilena smiled, her beautiful face revealing a sinister scheme, saying insidiously, "Qi Longbing, this is mutually beneficial; how could you possibly refuse..."

Qi Longbing felt a slight stir in his heart upon hearing this. Never leave? What did that mean?

"She’s already married. Isn’t saying such things foolish?" Qi Longbing retorted coldly.

Unexpectedly, Marilena cunningly pursed her lips.

"And so what if she’s married? A divorce is always possible. Just put your mind to it, and she’ll be yours!" Marilena said seductively. Her single phoenix eye evoked a tempting allure.

Qi Longbing lowered his gaze.

"What do you mean?!" He immediately asked. Truthfully, if he could get involved now, he wouldn’t mind. But it seemed Hua Xiaomo was too reluctant to see him now. Plus, there’s that Zi Yunsui looking over her so vigilantly; how could he still have a chance? This woman was truly dreaming!

Marilena was indifferent to his full-fledged suspicion and slowly walked to the bedside, taking a pack of cigarettes from the cabinet and pulling one out, offering it to him.

"This will do the trick." Marilena smiled brightly, her sinister intentions revealed.

Qi Longbing was slightly startled, immediately understanding her meaning.

Qi Longbing took the cigarette, bringing it to his lips to smell it. It was just a mild scent like ordinary cigarettes, indistinguishable at first glance. Hard to imagine it contained such substance.

"What’s in this?" Qi Longbing asked coldly.

"You’re very clever. This is currently the most advanced kind of drug. The amount in each cigarette isn’t much, mixed within the tobacco. An average person smoking one or two wouldn’t notice much, but with ten or twenty, they become addicted and turn into addicts, never breaking free of the bind for their entire life. With this, anything you want from her can happen! Haha..." Marilena chuckled, sinisterly and incongruously on her beautiful face further revealing her evil nature.

Qi Longbing held the cigarette, suddenly picturing Hua Xiaomo smoking with arrogance. If she smokes this, then...

Suddenly, Qi Longbing fiercely crushed the cigarette in hand. When he looked at the woman in front of him again, he suddenly felt she truly was a genuine venomous snake. In the past, not taking her life and simply sending her to prison was truly letting her off easy. Unexpectedly, she hadn’t learned any virtue, remaining so toxic!

"Hmph, you may as well speak your purpose." Qi Longbing said coldly.

"Take my goods to America, have Wang Zian distribute them for me." Marilena said calmly. Her words were steady, without stirring.

Qi Longbing scoffed contemptuously.

"Why don’t you go find him yourself? The gate of Yuquan Villa isn’t difficult to find." Qi Longbing said coldly.

Marilena glanced at him, smiling softly.

"Indeed, it’s not hard to find, but challenging to enter. Besides, going alone with my limited resources, he might not be willing to do it. It’s quite likely he’d rather kill and take the goods." Marilena said slowly, her expression calm, "But if it were you, it’d be different. Wang Zian always listens to you, doesn’t he? You have such prestige; just say a word, and I’m sure he’d agree."
