Night Fire Lingering

Chapter 342 Jiang Xing, do we have no relation?

Jiang Xing looked at Lou Qi in surprise, not expecting Lou Qi to speak suddenly.

Speaking up for her at this time would not be a wise move.

"I..." Ying Kaian took a deep breath. He knew rationally that he should say no, but faced with Lou Qi's sharp eyes, he couldn't utter a single word.

An uncontrollable sense of dread even arose in his heart—did Lou Qi know what he had done back then?

No, impossible!

He left no evidence of what he did back then, so Lou Qi will never know!

Ying Kaian took a deep breath, stopped looking at Lou Qi, and said to Jiang Xing, "You called me, you asked me to come, that's the evidence!"

Jiang Xing raised an eyebrow and smiled, as if to say: Is that so?

It was just a phone call, and there's no record of the call content. What kind of evidence is that? Even if there were, it would only prove that Jiang Xing called Ying Kaian to the hotel, but she didn't do anything else.

Cheng Jiang finally understood: Jiang Xing was openly plotting against people, but he was making it impossible for anyone to find any substantial evidence against him.

She's a smart woman with courage and intelligence!

Seeing that Ying Kaian still wanted to say something, Cheng Jiang pointed at Ying Kaian's nose and warned irritably, "Shut your mouth, I don't want to hear any rumors spread! Also, since you're not willing to be my lover, then get as far away from me as possible and don't ever show your face in front of me again!"

Ying Kai'an's body suddenly collapsed.

He has completely offended Cheng Jiang. Does that mean his investment, his only chance to save the company, has also been wasted?

Ying Kaian glared at Jiang Xing with anger and malice: "Jiang Xing, what good will it do you to ruin me? Just because I dumped you, you want to retaliate like this?"

He still can't bring himself to admit the terrible things he did to her parents.

Jiang Xing laughed sarcastically: "Ying Kaian, I was the one who broke up with you, and you were the one who didn't want to break up. Do you need to see a doctor about your brain now?"

Ying Kaian felt a pain in his butt when he heard this. Jiang Xing must be implying that his butt needed to see a doctor!

"Young Master Cheng, is there anything else?" Jiang Xing had achieved his goal and didn't want to stay here any longer. He hoped the other party would speak frankly and openly.

Threats and retaliation are fine with me.

Cheng Jiang extinguished his cigarette and looked Jiang Xing up and down: "Miss Jiang, do you know what the consequences will be for those who scheme against me?"

Lou Qi stepped forward, blocking Jiang Xing and cutting off Cheng Jiang's view: "Young Master Cheng, do you know what the consequences will be for those who scheme against me?"

The same words, but with different emphasis.

The two men locked eyes, locked in a fierce confrontation, and tension rose between them.

Looking at Lou Qi's broad back, Jiang Xing struggled and clenched his fist, then said softly, "Lou Qi, this matter has little to do with you."

—You don't need to stand up for yourself.

Lou Qi gave Cheng Jiang a deep look, then pulled Jiang Xing away.

Jiang Xing didn't react in time. As she was being roughly dragged away, she heard Ying Kaian's heart-wrenching roar behind her: "Jiang Xing, you stop right there!...Young Master Cheng, you're just letting her go like this? That woman schemed against you! You're just letting her go like this?!"

Cheng Jiang originally liked Ying Kai'an to some extent, but seeing his nausea this morning and his impotent rage now, he felt disgusted.

He picked up the ashtray next to him and smashed it, yelling, "Shut up! Who do you think you are? What do you know?!"

This calculation only resulted in losing a marriage partner he didn't like and getting a few nagging comments from his parents. However, with Jiang Xing as leverage, Lou Qi would take the initiative to discuss cooperation with him; mutual benefit is what truly matters!

……

We walked for quite a while.

Lou Qicai continued, "Jiang Xing, you are my girlfriend. This happened at my family's banquet, and the person who got into trouble was one of my family's guests. Which of these things has nothing to do with me? Do you think I have nothing to do with you?"
