Jian Xi shook her forefinger, her eyes narrowed aningfully with a mischievous grin. "No poison, no tricks. We’ll just say he’ll be infertile in the future."
Dark lines of frustration appeared on Jian Sirun’s forehead.
"That’s pretty vicious."
Jian Xi giggled. "I rember you have a female disciple who’s a master at treating that kind of condition, right?"
"Forcing Si Junyan to seek treatnt from her... then taking the opportunity to extort him, and then toying with him like a cat with a mouse. You’re really sothing."
Jian Sirun sent his disciple’s WeChat contact to Jian Xi. "You handle it yourself."
"Thanks, Fourth Brother!" Jian Xi exclaid joyfully.
「In the hospital room.」
After a torturous night, Si Junyan slowly opened his eyes. When he saw Jiang Qing, his eyes reddened for a mont. Then, as he looked around, his expression gradually turned colder.
"Relax, everyone ca, but they all left again."
Jiang Qing deliberately provoked him. "In the Si Family, neither you nor I hold much status. Surviving this ordeal ans we’re both lucky. Are you alright?"
She looked at his several stitched wounds, all of which were potentially fatal.
This guy really didn’t hold back when harming himself.
"Luckily, I had prepared a blood-activating concoction in advance," Si Junyan said. "Although I inflicted these wounds on myself at the last minute, clinically, it looked like I was having convulsions induced by massive blood loss from injuries sustained in the detention center."
A phone call in the operating room had saved him.
Otherwise, if Jian Sirun had spotted any trickery, he would have truly had no place to be buried.
"This person’s identity and background must be profound. He has such widespread influence and people in various places; his capability is extraordinary, not inferior to Si Yuhuan at all," Si Junyan mused. "To think Beijing has such formidable hidden talents. I really underestimated these eyes lurking in the shadows."
Jiang Qing feigned confusion. "What are you talking about?"
Si Junyan didn’t want her to notice his sches, so he played dumb. "Nothing much. Just a business partner who helped this ti. Thankfully, you got a lawyer, so I don’t have to return to that hellish place. It’s a blessing in disguise, I suppose."
He winced, the genuine pain irking him.
"Damn Jian Xi!" he seethed. "Sooner or later, I’ll make you pay back!"
Jiang Qing enjoyed watching him clash with Jian Xi. After fawning over him for a while, she found an excuse and slipped out.
She took out her cell phone and dialed a number.
"Have you been contacting Si Junyan behind my back? What exactly are you trying to do?"
The person on the other end wasn’t angry, just laughed. "If I can use you, I can certainly use him too. A person’s value lies in their usefulness, doesn’t it?"
Jiang Qing ground her teeth. "Si Junyan only listens to . Don’t even think about pulling any stunts."
The man chuckled coldly, unconcerned. "If it weren’t for , the two of you would have been dead and buried by now." His words were true.
Jiang Qing didn’t want to burn bridges with him before securing her position as Mrs. Si. "Si Yuhuan already dislikes a lot. Do you have a way to help beco Mrs. Si right away?"
She knew this man was only out for his own gain.
With fierce resolve, she clenched her teeth. "The new company Si Yuhuan gave is worth five hundred million. It’s an incubator for internet celebrities. Once a few of them beco popular, you know their value will be imasurable! It’s all yours!"
The man didn’t make a sound. Just when she thought her offers might not sway him, he suddenly said, "Fine, deal. Wait for my news."
After hanging up, Jiang Qing was still puzzled.
Suddenly so agreeable?
She didn’t dwell on it. She needed to hurry back and have the nanny make so soup to bring to Si Junyan.
He was still useful; she couldn’t appear too indifferent.
「On Monday, Jian Xi’s defamation lawsuit against Jiang Qing, charging her with slander and several other offenses, officially went to trial.」
In court, Jian Xi had thought Si Yuhuan would show up to support Jiang Qing, but he was nowhere to be seen.
Jiang Qing had hired the best lawyer in Beijing.
When this lawyer saw Jian Xi and Wan Yu sitting across from him, he trembled as he awkwardly stood up, bowing and scraping. "Junior Sister, long ti no see."
This was the undefeated legend of Beijing University’s Law Departnt! If she hadn’t gotten married, she probably would have continued her legendary streak.
The mont Wan Yu saw Jiang Qing’s expression turn as foul as if she’d eaten a fly, she put her hands on her hips and roared with laughter. "Jiang Qing, is this all you’ve got after leaving Si Yuhuan? Hiring soone Xixi has already defeated? Want us to give you a few more days to go out, pour so drinks, and find soone else?"
Jiang Qing felt as though she had been stabbed in the heart by these humiliating words, her pretty face darkening. "Wan Yu, shut your filthy mouth!"
"Oh, please! I brushed my teeth, you know. Sll it—fresh mint!" Wan Yu even bared her teeth at her after saying that.
Jiang Qing was so angry it felt like her heart was about to explode.
Jian Xi was beside her, trying to suppress her laughter.
Wan Yu truly had a knack for infuriating people; Jiang Qing, who didn’t resort to underhanded tactics, was simply no match for her.
"Hmph! We’ll see about that," Jiang Qing retorted, though she was already stepping aside to make a phone call.
Wan Yu went over and put an arm around their senior. "I wasn’t targeting you just now, Senior. That woman is just too annoying; I was deliberately trying to provoke her."
The senior was an honest man and laughed heartily in a straightforward manner. "Indeed, I am one of Jian Xi’s defeated opponents. That’s true."
Jian Xi extended her hand. "Senior, you’re too modest. It was a good match."
The mont she donned her professional attire, her entire aura transford. It was as if she were the sole focus of a spotlight on the world’s stage, radiant and dazzling.
Wan Yu tugged at Jian Xi’s arm. "She won’t really find so powerful lawyer because I provoked her, will she?"
She was always worried about things going wrong at the last minute.
"Don’t worry," Jian Xi reassured her. "No matter who it is, they’re bound to lose."
Wan Yu gave a thumbs-up, her admiration boundless. "Xixi, you’re my goddess!"
Jiang Qing was indeed about to be driven mad. She had reached out to that person in desperation, but he refused to help, saying this was a price she had to pay.
Fuming, she entered the courtroom, only to be relentlessly attacked by Jian Xi.
She stood there almost speechless, managing only a smile to cover her embarrassnt.
When she stepped down, her face was dark with anger.
Wan Yu waved the judgnt docunt in her hand, approaching with insufferable smugness to read it aloud. "According to this court’s decision, Ms. Jiang Qing will compensate Ms. Jian Xi with thirteen million, eight hundred thousand Yuan for damages to her reputation..."
"Here!" Without hesitation, Jiang Qing wrote a check and slapped it into Wan Yu’s hand.
"Consider it money for your dication," she snapped coldly through clenched teeth.
Her gaze shifted to Jian Xi, her tone challenging. "Anyway, even if this money is gone, soone will reimburse ."
She was referring to Si Yuhuan.
Wan Yu was outraged. "Say that again, and I’ll tear your mouth apart!"
How dare she provoke her best friend? That was as good as picking a fight with Wan Yu herself.
Jian Xi stopped her, smiling as she retorted, "If you’re so capable, don’t just flash your money. Show off with the title of Mrs. Si, then I might actually respect you a little."
Wan Yu laughed. "You can’t secure that title, can you? Si Yuhuan won’t marry you? That’s the biggest joke I’ve ever heard!"
Now it was Jiang Qing’s turn to be seething with rage. "Jian Xi, don’t get cocky! Just wait. I’ll soon beco Mrs. Si, and you’ll be trampled under my feet! Then, I’ll make you kneel and beg for rcy!"
"Is that so? You’re that powerful, are you?"
A cold voice, neither too loud nor too soft, spoke slowly from behind them, carrying an imposing pressure.
