The Devil Who Devoured Snow White Chapter 189
Advertisement
Wei Sianqi blushed in embarrassment. She didn't see Lu Mengjie coming since she was so immersed in her thoughts about Xia Liqin.
Lu Mengjie raised a brow in confusion. From afar she saw the other woman smiling like crazy. It made her wonder what made her act that way. She even noticed that her brother seemed to have left her alone in the car. Was that the reason behind her weirdness?
"Y-you're back," the younger girl stuttered.
"Where's Qinqing?" Lu Mengjie asked.
Wei Sianqi blinked a few times. Qinqing? What a cute nickname! Now that she thought of it, she recalled Lu Mengjie addressing Black Cat as her brother… She ended up looking at the other woman in a new light. She was her… future sister-in-law!
From that moment on, she decided to let go of her feelings for Yong Liwei. Sister-in-law was right. She was still young and she could meet other men. For example, the man behind Black Cat! Besides, she already knew that it was pointless to make Yong Liwei fall for her when she could already see how whipped he was for his wife. She was only persistent because she owed him her life. Twice. Her loyalty was always to him but if she was to choose between Yong Liwei and Black Cat, it was no brainer that she would choose her favorite gamer. That was how big of a fan she was.
"Gege-" she paused and quickly corrected herself. "I mean, he went to buy some drinks."
Lu Mengjie raised another brow. Did she hear things right? Did Wei Sianqi addressed her brother as 'Gege'?
"Is he really your brother?" The younger woman asked with a serious gaze on her face.
"We have the same mothers," explained Lu Mengjie. "Why? Are you beginning to fall for my brother?" It was only a tease but when she saw the way her face flushed, she ended up looking at her in disbelief. "No way… how about Yong Liwei?"
"You can have him, Jiejie, as long as you accept me as your sister-in-law!" She exclaimed rather brazenly. Her eyes were sparkling in hope.
"..." Lu Mengjie didn't expect such a turn in events. "What… made you change your mind?"
"You see…" She began telling her about her love for the gamer Black Cat. She even told her how she began liking him. It was during the Winter tournament of Arena Collison. "When I first saw him at the tournament, I knew that he's the one! I loved how he supported his friends. He was like their guardian angel and since then, I knew that I fell in love with him. His playstyle is so beautiful. If you saw him play, I'm sure that you'll be amazed by him too!"

"Ah, I see." She was actually the one who helped her brother choose his specialty back then. She was also the person who introduced him to online games during their childhood days. Lu Mengjie ended up chuckling a bit as she watched Wei Sianqi turn into her brother's fangirl. Oh well, it was advantageous for her.
"Don't worry, Jiejie. I'm a good girl. I promise to take care of your brother!"
"Then I leave him to you. As you already know, he is not interested in dating yet so I will help you by changing his mind."
"You got it!"
…
Upon returning to the car, Xia Liqin noticed the changes in atmosphere between the two women. Lu Mengjie was currently sitting in the backseat, she was showing something through her phone.
"C-Can you send me the photos later?"
"Sure! I can even send you his baby photos later!"
Wei Sianqi squealed in delight. "Thank you, Jiejie! You're the best!" She hugged her from the side.
What were they talking about? Whose baby pictures were they discussing? He shrugged and decided to finally enter the car. "Here." He gave Wei Sianqi's drink at the back.
"You're back…" She looked at him with a shy smile as she took the drink from him. "Thank you, Gege."
Gege? He furrowed his brows at the way she addressed him.
"Qinqing, from now on, you should take good care of Qiqi, okay? From now on, she is under our protection," Lu Mengjie explained.
Ah… Xia Liqin thought that his sister took another person in for their organization. Wei Sianqi looked like a rabbit who was wearing glasses, although he didn't think that her beauty was enough to attract her. Weren't they on bad terms earlier? Did they come into an agreement? Well… it was his sister he was talking about. Nothing surprised him anymore.
In the organization, Xia Liqin's division was the smallest and the reason behind that was… he didn't want to recruit more and spend his money on them. His division only consisted of 11 members and now that his sister decided to put Wei Sianqi under him, she would be the new member for Grinders.
"I'll be adding her in the group chat."
Wei Sianqi blinked a few times in confusion. She tilted her head to the side and inquired, "group chat?"

Lu Mengjie leaned to the side to whisper in her ear, "your favorite team."
"CYBO- Mmm!!"
The other woman quickly covered her mouth. "Remember the organization I told you that I built? My brother's division is called Grinders. Four of them are in the country and the others are somewhere around the world." After she explained it to her, she slowly released her mouth.
"I will be so delighted to meet them! When can I meet them?" Her head went back and forth between the siblings. Her eyes were sparkling in excitement.
"That depends on the leader." Lu Mengjie eyed her brother and smirked.
"Ugh… so troublesome," he muttered under his breath before taking a sip from his drink. "I'll check their availability. Anyway, where are we going next?"
"Back home. I have some digging to do."
"Eh? Already?" His shoulders sank in disappointment.
"Also, Qiqi will be moving out soon. We are currently looking for a place for her to stay but…" she paused and grinned mischievously. "Your place is big enough, right?"
"Huuuuh?!"
Both Xia Liqin and Wei Sianqi ended up looking at her with wide eyes.
"Living in the Xia household must be making you lonely. You should take Qiqi in."
Before Xia Liqin could even protest, Wei Sianqi was quick to add, "I'll pay the rent!"
"..." He pressed his lips together upon hearing what she said. "Renting a room at my place will be expensive."
"How much?"
"Hundred grand. Monthly."
It sure was expensive but… "That's fine!" She flashed him a bright smile. "I don't mind paying even if it's half a million!" After all, the money she would be using belonged to Yong Liwei.
"Fine. I'll make it half million then."
"Qinqing, don't be stingy," Lu Mengjie quickly said. She didn't want Wei Sianqi to be turned off by him.
"She was the one who suggested it." He was not going to let go of the opportunity of gaining half a million every month.
"She is a student so at least give her a student discount. Also, she is now my favorite recruit so give her another discount for that."
"But—"
"I have a PWD card," Wei Sianqi informed, a cheeky grin plastered on her face.
Lu Mengjie looked at her, blinking her eyes in confusion. "Won't you be able to walk again?"
"Ah, it's not my legs. It's because of my asthma and also my eyesight. I can't see without my glasses because my grades are so high, so I applied for PWD," Wei Sianqi explained.
"Another discount for that too." She hung her arm on the younger girl's shoulder.
"..."
In the end, Xia Liqin didn't have a choice but to give in to the girls as he heaved out a "Fine."
"Thank you, Gege!" She flashed him a grateful smile before she finally took a sip on the drink she was holding.
"You still have to pay for that drink," he reminded her.
Lu Mengjie rolled her eyes. "At least consider it as a welcome treat for her."
Xia Liqin groaned in complaint. He was obviously against the idea since he had never treated any of his members so what made her so special?
"It's fine, Jiejie." She was already content when she saw his name written on the cup. She was never going to throw away the container.
"No, it's not fine. He should be treating you well."
"But…"
"You are my sister-in-law. He should be treating his future wife nicely," Lu Mengjie whispered to the woman beside her.
Wei Sianqi ended up blushing shyly. Even if she liked the idea of being his future wife, she had to make him fall for her first. It was not going to be an easy task but she was never going to give up.
Xia Liqin wasn't able to hear what they were talking about so he decided to ignore them. He placed his drink on the cupholder. He turned the ignition key and shifted the gear. As he drove them out of the place he decided to ask, "when is she going to move to my place?"
