Chapter 371 Utilization

On the other side, Li Jingming and Chu Yixue had already walked away. Although they looked very close, only they knew the truth.

Soon, the two of them held hands and came to a relatively remote place.

After confirming that no one was around, Chu Yixue couldn't help but complain, "It's really unlucky to run into Zhong Nianyao on the first day of school."

"Don't worry, we're all in the same school, so it's inevitable we'll run into each other." Li Jingming couldn't help but soothe her. "Also, don't overreact, or you might arouse suspicion."

"Even if others don't suspect me now, Zhong Nianyao is still a ticking time bomb!" Chu Yixue seemed very irritated. "As long as she's around, I could be exposed at any time. If the Chu family really knows my identity, then everything I have now will be over."

As she spoke, she threw herself into Li Jingming's arms, her tone full of worry.

Where Li Jingming couldn't see, a hint of disgust and disdain flashed in her eyes.

Before, Zhong Nianyao knew her identity as an imposter, but she never exposed her. She didn't know what Zhong Nianyao was trying to do, and she lived in fear every day.

Unexpectedly, Zhong Nianyao actually told Li Jingming about this matter. When Li Jingming came to find her, she was almost stunned and really wanted to kill Zhong Nianyao.

But then she had a good idea. She immediately confessed her feelings to Li Jingming, saying that her previous words were not intentional and that she was just angry about his mother's disdain for her. But over the past period of time, she had come to her senses and realized that she still loved Li Jingming the most.

After hearing her words, she and Li Jingming got together again.

"No," Li Jingming frowned as he looked at the frightened Shen Yixue in his arms, then reached out and patted Shen Yixue's back, speaking softly to comfort her, "If she really wanted to say it, she would have said it long ago. As long as we don't provoke her again in the future, she won't target us."

Over time, he'd learned the importance of being well-matched. Because he was dating the second daughter of the Chu family, and the Chu and Li families had business dealings, his grandfather and father had begun to take notice. He had also joined the family business, leading a project team.

As long as this project can be completed, he can have a place in the family business. And the party A of this project is the second master of the Chu family, who is also Chu Yixue's current uncle.

Therefore, not only Chu Yixue, he also did not want this matter to be exposed. Otherwise, all his efforts in recent days would be in vain.

"No, Zhong Nianyao won't give up." Chu Yixue grabbed Li Jingming's clothes on his chest, her face full of panic. "We had so much grudges with her before, and now she holds such a big secret of ours in her hands, there's no way she'll let us go."

Li Jingming pursed his lips tightly and said nothing, but his face was also filled with worry.

A hint of darkness flashed in Chu Yixue's eyes, and then a struggle emerged on her face. Finally, she gritted her teeth and spoke with some difficulty, "Jingming, we...we must get rid of Zhong Nianyao, so that we can rest assured!"

"What?"

Li Jingming was shocked when he heard Chu Yixue's words. He looked at her in disbelief, "Xue'er, do you know what you are talking about? Get rid of Zhong Nianyao, do you want to -"

He didn't even dare to say the last words out loud.

"Jingming, I know you might think I'm too cruel." Chu Yixue bit her lip, then looked at Li Jingming with a tearful look on her face, "But, do we have any other options now? As long as Zhong Nianyao is here, we'll always worry about when she'll expose my identity."

When she said this, she reached out and held Li Jingming's hand tightly, her tone full of worry, "I'm not regretting the identity of the second lady of the Chu family, I just can't bear to leave my current parents. They are really good to me. It's a fatherly and motherly love that I have never felt before. And-"

Chu Yixue raised her head and looked at Li Jingming, her eyes full of love. "If I weren't the second daughter of the Chu family, your father and your mother would definitely not agree to our relationship. Jingming, I really like you and I don't want to be separated from you."

"But..." Li Jingming was still hesitant, "If we do this and get caught, our future will really be ruined."

"As long as we do it secretly and don't let anyone know, isn't that all that matters?" Chu Yixue looked at Li Jingming with anticipation. "Jingming, you will definitely help me, right?"

Her face was full of sincerity, but her heart was filled with contempt. A man who hesitated over such a small matter was simply a waste.

If she didn't want to use Li Jingming to kill Zhong Nian Yao, she would definitely not be with such a waste again.

When Li Jingming found her and told her that she was an imposter, she had already made up her mind. She planned to use Li Jingming to kill Zhong Nian Yao.

As long as Zhong Nian Yao dies, the master behind her will definitely help her, and then Li Jingming will no longer be a threat to her.

Yes, she could sense that the master hated Zhong Nianyao deeply. However, she also didn't understand why that woman, with such mysterious means, didn't just kill Zhong Nianyao directly? Instead, she used her.

No matter what the reason was, she was able to obtain the identity of the second lady of the Chu family, and she definitely didn't mind being that person's pawn.

However, even though she was the second daughter of the Chu family, it was still very difficult for her to kill Zhong Nianyao. She couldn't use the Chu family's connections and influence, as that would easily be known to the Chu family. If the Chu family knew about it, it would definitely cause them to dislike her, and it would be uncertain whether she could still stay.

So, she thought of using Li Jingming. She believed that with her own means and instigation, Li Jingming would definitely be able to serve as that knife.

By then, she will not be involved in it and can continue to be the second lady of the Chu family and live a wealthy life.
