Glancing at Xing Shu ts expression, Jiang Yao continued, “There are no scions in the same age group as Jin Yue who do not want to marry her. Marrying Jin Yue is akin to marrying the entire Jin family. Even Jin Mo—her brother-—dotes on her. The Jin family only has two children. Jin MO is in the artistic industry and barely around. So, the family’s love and favor falls on Jin Yue.” Therefore, it was not an exaggeration to say that Jin Yue was the golden girl. Jin Yue was also very outstanding; the research institute she was currently in was the best in the world.
Xing Shu did not say anything and continued to ask, “1Nhat about Liu Xiangru?’
When Jiang Yao mentioned Liu Xiangru, her tone became much weirder. “In a prominent family, a sickly person like Liu Xiangru should have been expelled from the epicenter of power a long time ago. However, Liu Xiangru has a lot of say in the Liu family. I heard that she was very unpopular with the Liu family when she was young and was almost exiled. However—ever since she gained Nie Heng’s favor-—her status in the Liu family rose steadily. You know what kind of person Nie Heng is. A woman who has Nie Heng eating out of her hand cant be simple.”
Xing Shu was not worried about herself; she was worried for Nie Xi.
Jiang Yao said, “And let me tell you, Liu Xiangru and Jin Yue are friends; very close friends. One has Nie Heng for a boyfriend, while the other almost became Cheng Lang’s fiancée. With this relationship, won’t the two of them be able to do whatever they want in Beijing?’
That was true.
Xing Shu felt a little depressed, but Jiang Yao’s next words made her heart ache even more.
Jiang Yao shared, “Young Uncle dotes on you now because he doesnt have any thoughts about his marriage. Once Grandpa decides on his fiancée, he will cast you away immediately. The person Grandpa likes the most is Jin Yue.”
Xing Shu closed her eyes and recalled Cheng Lang’s words. He said that he was considering whether to get engaged to Jin Yue.
Jiang Yao’s cell phone rang. iNhen she saw the number, her expression changed instantly. “Xing Shu, I cant drink with you tonight. Cheng Xingyang must have found out about the viral sex video and photos I sent, and lodged a complaint with the family. I have to go back and apologize. As for the drink, I’ll give you a rain check. You must agree to join me the next time I ask you out.”
Xing Shu began to worry. “You wont be thrashed, will you?” She asked, much to her chagrin. She should have posted those videos herself. But she had not thought of it then, and now she had implicated Jiang Yao.
Jiang Yao shook her head. “No. With Young Uncle around, no one will dare to hit me. However, I’ll definitely be grounded. I’m used to being locked up, since I was young. You don’t have to worry about me. Instead of worrying about me, why dont you think about how to deal with Liu Chun? That b*tch’s words today are really nasty.”
Xing Shu smiled. After getting out of the car, she could not help but say, “Liu Chun should be Liu Xiangru’s sidekick, and the person Liu Xiangru relies on is
Nie Heng. If Nie Heng doesnt help, they cant do anything about it.”
Jiang Yao stepped on the accelerator again. Before she left, she said, “The problem is that Nie Heng wont leave Liu Xiangru in the lurch. Everyone knows that Nie Heng holds her very dear to his heart.”
Does Nie Heng really hold Liu Xiangru very dear to his heart? Xing Shu did not know their story; she only knew that they had gotten engaged a long time ago. She also found out from Nie Xi that Nie Heng had once been rejected by Liu Xiangru. In the relationship between Nie Heng and Liu Xiangru, Nie Heng was the weaker party. He was always trying his best to please Liu Xiangru. Therefore, how is it possible that Nie Heng would leave Liu Xiangru in the lurch?
Xing Shu treated Nie Xi as a friend, so she had Nie Xi’s interest at heart. She had no idea that her own storm was about to descend. She walked towards the apartment with a heavy heart. She saw a car stop in front of her, as if it had been waiting here for a long time. Two tall bodyguards got out of the car. Xing Shu retreated reflexively. She knew these two bodyguards; they had appeared with Chen Ru. Were they sent by Chen Ru?
Thinking of what happened tonight—with Cheng Xingyang being so precious to Chen Ru—she would probably be livid. The two bodyguards were dressed in black and had solemn expressions. They looked like they were not to be trifled with. Without saying a word, they reached out to grab Xing Shu. She took a step back and raised her hand to block. Unexpectedly, a syringe pierced her arm. She did not expect the bodyguards to resort to such dirty tricks… Soon, her entire body went limp and she felt very weak.
“Miss Xing, Madam Chen said to teach you a lesson this time.” When the bodyguard spoke, his eyes brimmed with ruthlessness. It seemed like Chen Ru had signed Xing Shu’s death warrant..
