The Devil who devoured Snow White

Since Lu Mengjie didn't have any way to contact Yong Liwei, she thought that it was going to be a while before she could see him again. She was grounded so it was definitely going to take time and while it did, she decided to look into his background and found it clean. There was no trace of even a single scandal from him. He was the type of man who liked to have a low profile indeed. Information about him was hard to get.

Two days after that heated night…

"He's our uncle, jiejie. Of course, I'm not going to tell you about him." Her brother's voice was heard from the headset that she was wearing.

"He is not my uncle," she denied.

Lu Mengjie was in her room, facing the monitor. Her hair was tied into a messy bun and she was wearing a baggy shirt. She was busy playing an online game on her computer with her brother, Xia Liqin. They were connected through voice call.

"I can't believe that you're hitting on an old man," he groaned in disgust. "Even if he looks young, the fact that his age is just a few years younger than our dad is very disturbing. If you plan on getting me a brother-in-law, at least choose someone young."

"Forty is not that old," she retorted. She has been searching for information about him since yesterday.

"You have 17 years difference! Seventeen! This is wrong! He can be considered as a paedophile you know!"

"Maybe if I was underage but I'm not. I'm an adult just like him. Besides, if I marry him, and he dies, won't all his riches be given to me?"

An exasperated sigh was heard from her brother. It was useless changing her mind. "He's still my uncle, can't you at least consider that?"

"Na-uh, it's too late to consider that. He's a magnificent piece of art," she chuckled.

"Then I want at least 60 percent share from all of the money you'll be receiving."

"Fine, fine, take as much as you want."

"Then marry him as soon as possible and then I'll hire a hitman to kill him the next day after your wedding."

A loud laugh escaped her lips. She knew that he was not serious about it but she found it funny just by imagining it. "At least let me enjoy him for a few days you know."

"No." A dull answer.

Lu Mengjie could already imagine the emotionless look on Xia Liqin's face.

"How about Si Hongqi?"

The sudden change of topic made the smile on her lips stiffen.

"He rejected me."

"Again?"

"..." A pout formed on her lips. Why was his reply the same as their mother? Seriously, it was not like she was rejected every day for them not to be surprised anymore.

She sighed and spoke, "I also have my limit you know."

"Wow… I never thought you have one after all these years."

"..." This brother of hers was seriously… starting to get into her nerves. He was just like mother!

"You are my beloved brother so I'm going to let this slide just once."

"You drain me of my salary. How can you call me your beloved brother when you make me broke?" He replied quite raptly.

She chuckled a bit and said, "ah, I'm so lucky that you love me so much."

"Yes, yes, I love you so much. Since you recruited uncle Yong now, you better let him pay for the damage you caused me. Fill my wallet and pay for my mental health."

"He doesn't want to be my sugar daddy!"

"Ugh… Then I really should just hire a hitman and kill him after you marry him. I think dad will gladly take that job."

"..."

A knock suddenly disturbed her. The volume in the headset was low so she was able to hear it.

"Who is it?" She asked, raising her voice. Her eyes were locked on the monitor as she continued to play the game.

"Young miss, your mother is calling you downstairs. We have a visitor."

"Give me ten minutes!" Her fingers continued to work on the keyboard, clicking sounds came from the mouse.

The maid wasn't able to do anything but to leave and deliver what she said.

"Qinqing, I'm going in. Prepare your SS," she ordered through the mic that was connected to the headset.

"Buy me fifteen seconds. My skill is still in its cooldown." A man's voice was heard from the headset.

She continued to play with her brother for a few minutes until 'Victory' appeared on the screen. She sunk on her seat with a satisfied smile on her lips.

"I need to go, I'll play with you later," she said, logging out of the game.

"Message me later."

"Got it," she replied before she took off her headset.

Since there was a guest, Lu Mengjie changed her clothes and fixed her hair just to look presentable. Her father would definitely scold her if she came down with the messy attire she was in earlier.

She went out of the room and went downstairs. As she wondered who their guest was, she stopped in the middle of the stairs the moment her eyes landed on the familiar man who was sitting on the couch.
