Xu Chunyan said nothing. Qin Mei's words had been too shocking. Since Granny and Grandpa weren't saying anything, she decided not to stick her neck out. She just took her son and headed home.
Jie Jingjue let out a hearty laugh. He spoke, half-joking and half-serious, "Fourth Sister-in-law, I'm afraid to die. Seeing as we have no problems between us, could you please show some mercy and spare my life?"
Qin Mei gave him a strained smile. "Don't worry. I'm not that extreme. Murder is against the law, and I'm a law-abiding citizen. I would never do anything illegal."
"..." Everyone was speechless. 'That's not what she was saying just a moment ago.'
"Hahaha, right, right, right! Murder is against the law. We're all law-abiding citizens here. We'd never do anything illegal," Jie Jingjue said, playing along with a laugh.
Jie Jingchen walked up to Qin Mei and naturally raised a hand to smooth the wind-tousled strands of hair from her forehead.
