With me here, let's see who dares to take you!

After receiving the notification from Gu Chengxi, Zhang Jing and Lin Yi rushed from that country to this city in just a few hours.

According to what Meng Jinyang said before, the Meng family only welcomes Lin Yi and Zhang Jing. As for the subordinates brought by Zhang Jing, they cannot enter the Meng family. This has nothing to do with hospitality. It is just to ensure the basic safety of the Meng family. Zhang Thank you for understanding.

The purpose of Zhang Jing's trip is very simple. Even if he can't annex the entire Meng family, he will swallow most of the Meng family. As for whether he can digest it, he hasn't considered it yet.

Lin Yi didn't know Zhang Jing's purpose. He thought that this time he was just going back to China to visit relatives. If he had known earlier, he would definitely not have agreed to go back to China.

In order to welcome the arrival of Zhang Jing and Lin Yi, Meng Jinyang specially ordered the servants to prepare a dinner according to their habits. It could be regarded as a simple fulfillment of the landlord's friendship.

Lin Yi hadn't returned to China for several years, so he was very excited. The moment he saw Gu Chengxi, he hugged him and didn't let go. Although Meng Jinyang was very unhappy, but because Lin Yi was a guest, he couldn't do anything.

During the dinner, Zhang Jing couldn't wait to find out what Meng Jinyang had to say. "I heard that the struggle between you and Wei Xian has begun."

Meng Jinyang thought in his heart. Are you talking nonsense? But on the surface, Meng Jinyang said, "It's just an internal conflict in the Meng family. It will be resolved soon." Meng Jinyang's meaning is very simple. In this struggle, he has no There is no need for Zhang Jing to intervene. Zhang Jing has no position to intervene.

Of course Zhang Jing could hear the meaning of Meng Jinyang's words. But even if he could, he could still pretend that he didn't understand. "Before I came to this city. Cut off."

Meng Jinyang sneered. Let’s not mention whether Zhang Jing’s credit is for this matter. As far as this matter is concerned, Meng Jinyang said, “Swallow all of Wei Xian’s overseas markets into his stomach, plus the ‘Underworld’ that he just ate not long ago.” .You are not afraid of problems with the digestive system of the 'Black Hell'."

Zhang Jing smiled. "You don't have to worry about that. 'Black Prison' has a big appetite just like me. Even after eating so much, he still isn't full. Why can't he digest it?"

Meng Jinyang immediately ordered the servant to serve more food so that Zhang Jing would be full.

Zhang Jing smiled but said nothing. He just looked at the ring on Meng Jinyang's hand while eating.

"Are you envious?" Meng Jinyang said. "Unfortunately it's not yours."

"You really know how to joke. It's just a ring. I have nothing to envy." Zhang Jing said. "As long as I don't admit it, it can only be an ordinary ring."

Meng Jinyang had nothing to say. Even if he had already decided not to use this ring, he couldn't tell Zhang Jing this idea. Meng Jinyang wanted to make Zhang Jing think that this ring was really his trump card. In this way, Zhang Jing's The action will be much more restrained.

Halfway through the dinner, Lin Yi started pestering Gu Chengxi to tell stories again.

Gu Chengxi said, "All the good stories in my head have been squeezed out by Lingxi and the others. I'm too embarrassed to tell you the rest of the crude stories if you want to hear them."

Ling Xi complained. "I'm not the only one who wants to hear stories. Why do you only mention my name? It's too unfair. Besides, there are only ten stories for each meal. How can there be too many?"

Hearing this, Lin Yi squirted. "I have only heard five or six stories told by Mr. Gu. You have to listen to ten in one meal. It's not fair to me, okay. And since you came back, it has been It's been so long. No wonder Mr. Gu has no stories to tell."

At this time, Meng Jinyang said, "Why don't I tell you a story."

Gu Chengxi had vaguely guessed what Meng Jinyang was going to talk about. Although the conversation between Meng Jinyang and Zhang Jing was very loud and the dinner was very noisy. Gu Chengxi was pestered by Lin Yi again. But he could still judge the relationship between the two from their expressions. The atmosphere was tense.

Zhang Jingdao. "Young Master Meng can actually tell stories. Then I want to listen to it."

Meng Jinyang said, "Once upon a time, there was a boa constrictor spirit who was bombarded by the thunder god sent by the Jade Emperor for violating the rules of heaven. It was rescued by a poor scholar named Mei Sheng when it had nowhere to hide and showed its original shape in an extremely dangerous situation. "

"I know the rest of the story." Rui Jiyu hurriedly replied. "This boa constrictor spirit transformed into a beautiful woman and then gave her body to her. Isn't that right?"

Meng Jinyang raised his forehead. "Azhe, dragged Ji Yu out and beheaded him."

"Yes." Shao Zhe stood up and was really ready to drag Rui Jiyu out.

Rui Jiyu immediately covered her mouth, expressing that she would not speak anymore. Her expression was very pitiful. Even Meng Jinyang couldn't help laughing.

Meng Jinyang went on to speak. "Mei Sheng's life was very difficult. In order to repay him for saving his life, the boa constrictor spirit gave him a panacea to cure the empress dowager's illness. After Mei Sheng did this, he became the prime minister at that time. Guess what this panacea is."

Rui Jiyu secretly lifted the hand covering her mouth a little bit. "It can't be the dirt rubbed off from the boa constrictor, right?"

Ling Xi guessed. "I think it's the scales of the boa constrictor spirit. Since it has become a spirit, it must have many, many scales on its body. It's okay to give one to a mortal."

Gu Chengxi knew this story, so he said, "Since this story can become a story, it means it has its own special features. Naturally, this panacea is not so ordinary."

"Chengxi is right." Meng Jinyang said. "This so-called panacea is actually a piece of heart from the python's abdomen. Mei Sheng is not satisfied after exchanging this piece of heart for a bright future. He even wants to ask the python for another piece of heart." In case of emergencies, the boa constrictor agreed because of the grace of saving his life. But when the knife was cut, Mei Sheng became greedy again, and even got into the snake’s belly, intending to cut off all the heart and liver of the boa constrictor.”

Ling Xi felt goosebumps all over his body when he heard it. "The result."

Meng Jinyang said, "Of course Mei Sheng was eaten by a snake. Not even the dregs were left."

Everyone immediately sighed because of this story of kindness and revenge. Only Zhang Jing understood. Meng Jinyang wanted him to know that the end of greed is to destroy himself in the end.

After being baptized by Meng Jinyang's story, no one ate the foie gras on the table.

Meng Jinyang said to Rui Jiyu, "Don't you like to eat foie gras the most? It's all yours."

Rui Jiyu hurriedly waved his hand to express that he didn't want it. "I know I was wrong to rush to answer just now. So you should drag me out and kill me now."

"Ji Yu, you are too worthless." Zou Shaoxian picked up the plate of foie gras. "Let me eat it for you."

As soon as the words fell, except for Zhang Jing and Lin Yi who didn't know the situation, the eyes of the others all fell on Zou Shaoxian.

"Everyone is watching what I do." Zou Shaoxian was stared at by several people. "Could it be that there are many scales growing on my body?"

Chi Zhengxin asked, "Are you sure you want to eat this plate of foie gras?"

Ever since seeing his father eat half of the child's corpse, Zou Shaoxian never touches this kind of food except to eat some meat to maintain normal body nutritional needs. He keeps a respectful distance from things like liver .Don't even want to look at it.

So seeing Zou Shaoxian wanting to eat this plate of foie gras at this moment, other people will show that kind of frightened expression that the sky is about to change.

Zou Shaoxian couldn't help laughing. "I'm lying to you. Haha. It's really fun to tease you."

"Fuck." Rui Jiyu and Ling Xi held their hearts at the same time. "I'm scared to death."

Several other people breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. But they were also a little disappointed. After all, Zou Shaoxian still couldn't fully overcome the previous hurdle.

Chi Zhengxin quietly held Zou Shaoxian's hand. "Don't force yourself. I'm glad you didn't have a nightmare last night."

Zou Shaoxian held Chi Zhengxin's hand instead. He didn't know what to do. Just now, Zou Shaoxian clearly wanted to eat this plate of foie gras in front of so many people. But he really couldn't do it. .

Meng Jinyang ordered the servants to remove all liver-like food from the table so as not to make Zou Shaoxian feel uncomfortable. There was no such food on their table before. Today it was just to cater to the tastes of Lin Yi and Zhang Jing That's all.

The dinner continued. When it felt like it was about time, Meng Jinyang told Chi Zhengxin, "Your injuries are still not healed. Go back to rest early. Shaoxian. You go back with Ah Xin."

"Understood." Zou Shaoxian replied.

After Zou Shaoxian and Chi Zhengxin left, Zhang Jing asked Meng Jinyang, "Do you always take care of such big things? It will be very tiring."

Meng Jinyang said, "If you get used to it, you won't feel tired. Besides, Chengxi has shared many things for me now. You see, everything prepared for this banquet is in charge of Chengxi. I don't need to intervene at all. After all, I am not good at it." It's useless to meddle in that aspect."

Zhang Jing smiled. "You don't need to have a second meaning in every sentence. I understand what you mean. Maybe you are right. People really shouldn't be too greedy. Nor should they easily step into other people's fields."

Meng Jinyang said. "I don't think I have the ability of Chengxi. A story can reverse a person's thinking."

"Do you think I really want to annex your territory?" Zhang Jing said. "I just want to rebuild 'Sura'. This is my dream. A dream that I have had for more than ten years. But I suddenly discovered. It’s not bad for you to realize this dream. After all, you have a ring on your hand. The conditions are much more convenient than mine.”

Meng Jinyang can judge that what Zhang Jing is telling the truth, so whether he wants to tell him the truth or not.

After thinking for a long time, Meng Jinyang said, "I don't plan to use this ring. I don't want to rebuild 'Sura' either. This is your dream. But it's not mine."
