Priceless Baby: 101 Bedside Stories

In the Blueberry clubhouse.

The light was striking. In one of the rooms, it was really quiet.

Two ladies were guarding the doors to the room, and they were dressed very conservatively in great contrast to the passionate environment of the clubhouse.

Lu Mengxi looked at the lady on the sofa. She was wearing a black silk hat like those worn in palaces. There was a black rose embroidered onto the hat. Her fingers were really slim and long; they looked really good. Her nails were painted red.

She was*—hands down—*really cold.

“Black Rose?”

A smirk crawled up on Black Rose’s face. She looked at Lu Mengxi and said calmly, “I never thought that Miss Lu has heard of me as well.”

“There’s nothing that Black Rose can’t do. Clearly, I’ve heard of her before. May I know why you’re looking for me?”

“To talk about collaboration.”

“We have no collaborations,” Lu Mengxi said calmly.

Once you get in touch with Black Rose, it’s hard to get rid of her.

She had a family behind her, and she would not form any connections with Black Rose.

“Who said we don’t?” Black Rose laughed. Through the black veil, it was difficult to see her face, yet it was one that could instill fear on others. “We have the same target, Shen Qianshu.”

Lu Mengxi felt a chill run down her spine. “What’s the relationship between you and… Shen Qianshu?”

“Enemies,” Black Rose said. “The enemy of my enemy is a friend. Isn’t it?”

Lu Mengxi’s fingertips twitched. She felt that things were unusual*. Who exactly is Shen Qianshu, and why does even Black Rose want her? This is so strange.* Why is the powerful Black Rose who is capable of everything afraid of Shen Qianshu?

“I’m not silly. If you wish to kill Shen Qianshu, it’s easy for you. Why don’t you just do it?” Lu Mengxi said calmly. “You don’t even need me.”

“No, I need you,” Black Rose said. “Lu Mengxi, collaborate with me. As long as you do as I say, I will ensure that your entire family will be safe and sound. Lu Mengyun will be released from prison soon enough, and the Lu Family will be able to make a comeback from the current situation. You will have a lot of financial resources, enough to go against AG. You will never have to fear AG again.”

“You… ”

Black Rose offered something that was really tempting to Lu Mengxi.

That was exactly what she needed at the moment.

“Even if Mr. Yuan trusts you, he wouldn’t offend Ye Ling for you, but I am different,” Black Rose said calmly. “I am Ye Ling’s nemesis. If you agree to collaborate with me, you will get everything that you wish for.”

“This has nothing to do with Ye Ling. He’s dead.”

“He’s still alive,” Black Rose said. “Seems like Miss Lu’s information is rather backwards.”

Lu Mengxi was shocked. “No way. He clearly died.”

“You’re so gullible,” Black Rose said. “If Ye Ling were dead, would Shen Qianshu still be so fearless?”

Lu Mengxi felt a ringing sound in her ear. She was feeling kind of excited yet a little agitated.

“How is it? Tempting, eh?” Black Rose said calmly. “A collaboration with me would not do you any harm.”

“Do you want to kill Shen Qianshu?”

“You don’t have to care about that. You just have to listen to me.”

Lu Mengxi took a deep breath. “I don’t believe you.”

“If I ask you to collaborate with me, I will offer my sincerity for sure. What do you want in exchange?”

Lu Mengxi bit her lip and her fingertips twitched. “Tomorrow, I want my sister to be out of jail, safe.”

“No problem!” Black Rose said calmly. “Lu Mengxi, this is how we trade. I have agreed to what you ask for. However, if you go back on your words, you will repay even more. No one can betray the Black Rose. Deal?”

During this period of time, Lu Mengxi had been so badly annoyed by Shen Qianshu that she hated Shen Qianshu to her guts. She needed this blade to do the job.

“Deal!”
