Tan Jing’s eyebrows were furrowed. Although this question was easier to answer than the previous one, the developnt of the situation wasn’t sothing that could be explained in one or two sentences!

Back then, Yuan Shu was indeed part of the plan. Jiang Chen liked this woman who was stupid and easy to control. She was a woman who threw herself at every handso man she saw, so she would definitely be of great help at the critical mont.

Although Yuan Shu had indeed married into the Shi family successfully, it had only been a month since she married, but she seed to have suddenly beco a different person.

Originally, Shi Xiao’s disappearance in Africa was the best opportunity for the Jiang family to make a move on the Shi family. As long as Yuan Shu lost control of herself, things would be in their favor.

However, things didn’t go as planned. Not only didn’t Yuan Shu help, but her personality also changed drastically. She united the three siblings of the Shi family, and their relationship beca even better.

After all the problems that appeared were resolved by her, even Yuan An, which the Jiang family and the other families had always coveted, was protected by her.

If Tan Jing told Shi Xiao the truth, which was that Yuan Shu was sent to his room when Shi Xiao was drunk, would Shi Xiao believe him?

If it was an accident, with Shi Xiao’s cautiousness, even if he was drunk, he wasn’t soone that the foolish Yuan Shu could obtain so easily.

Tan Jing was in a dilemma! If he told the truth, no one would believe him. If he told a lie, no one would believe him either. Therefore, no matter what his answer was, the outco would be the sa!

Tan Jing raised his eyes and looked at Shi Xiao again. Suddenly, he had an idea. Since Shi Xiao bypassed the main question and asked about Yuan Shu, this ant that he was interested in Yuan Shu.

He didn’t expect that the most aloof young master in this industry would actually fall for a woman.

However, a thoughtful and reliable woman like Yuan Shu was indeed a woman who would make countless people fall for her. It was no wonder that Shi Xiao was interested in her.

“Have you thought about it?” Shi Xiao was getting impatient. When he spoke, every word he enunciated made Tan Jing feel a cold murderous aura.

Tan Jing pursed his lips. At most, he would give it a try. If he won the bet, he would pass this round. If he lost… he couldn’t lose the bet!

Tan Jing said confidently, “It doesn’t matter whether we arranged for Yuan Shu or not. What’s important is whether or not you trust her.”

When Shi Xiao heard this, his eyes narrowed and his breathing beca heavy.

Indeed, although he had tested Yuan Shu many tis and wanted to believe this woman, his habits over the years still made him want to investigate everything clearly.

He could vaguely guess that the person who could make Tan Jing listen to him so obediently must be from the Jiang family. However, what was the relationship between Yuan Shu and the Jiang family? Why was it Yuan Shu and not anyone else that night?

More importantly, the fact that Yuan Shu had entered the entertainnt industry to act in a television drama was too strange. Shi Xiao had also found out that the investor behind this drama was the Xu family.

The Xu family and the Jiang family were in cahoots to begin with, so they were bound together. The Xu family’s investnt was equivalent to the Jiang family’s investnt, but the Jiang family had never been involved in the entertainnt industry. This was the first ti they had made a move, and it was actually related to Yuan Shu, so it was really hard not to suspect their motives.

Tan Jing knew that he had made the right bet, so he seized the opportunity and said in an ingratiating tone, “Young Master Shi, instead of making things difficult for here, why don’t you ask Yuan Shu directly? Please let off. No Man’s Land is about to open for business, so we can’t let custors who co in see this scene, right?”

When Shi Xiao heard his words, he sneered. “Do you really think that you can guess my thoughts?”

Tan Jing felt that sothing was wrong and panicked as he stared at him. “You… what do you want to do?”

Shi Xiao ignored him and stood up to walk out.

The alarm of a police car sounded outside the door..
