"Ah Jin, look up at me."
Xiang Jin buried himself even lower.
"Ah Jin, look at me."
He held her shoulders, giving her confidence and strength. Xiang Jin hesitated, but finally raised her head and looked at him.
Tell me what you saw.
Xiang Jin was puzzled. After a long while, she shook her head and said, "I... I only saw the me in your eyes. I'm so stupid."
"What's so stupid about it?" He pretended to tap her on the head, but then stopped, his cool lips landing on her forehead with a light, fleeting kiss. "This is the answer."
You are the only one in my eyes.
This is my way of showing you favoritism.
Therefore, no one is more suitable for you than you.
Xiang Jin was slow to realize what he meant and was still pondering the meaning of his words when Murong Xiao had already dialed Su Ming's number and instructed him to drive to some conference hall. Watching his tall, hurried figure, Xiang Jin was stunned.
Is he... trying to comfort her?
Would someone as proud as him really lower himself to coax her because of her such humble little emotions? What did she do to deserve that?
Gradually, her eyes reddened, and hot tears slid down her cheeks. She squatted there, sobbing uncontrollably.
………………
At the hospital.
Li Shuhui is on the phone with Uncle Yan, who is guarding Jiang Anqing.
"Beat her, beat her to death! Don't call a doctor! Forget about food today, let her eat, drink, and relieve herself as she pleases. This is what her precious daughter did, let her remember the consequences of going against me!"
Uncle Yan was a little embarrassed: "If we hit her any further, she'll die. She's covered in illnesses and injuries. She was whimpering all night yesterday and had a fever. Mr. Li, I really can't bring myself to do it. Could you please find someone else?"
Although he was paid to solve problems for others, he never intended to cause anyone's death. He wouldn't do something as foolish as getting himself arrested.
Li Shuhui was furious. Replace him? How could that be? Besides Uncle Yan, who else could keep an eye on Jiang Anqing? Who else could be so loyal to her? "How come this scoundrel is so easily beaten?"
"Mr. Li, whether we should say this or not, we should ask a doctor to examine her. I'm worried that if this continues, she might die."
Li Shuhui was even angrier.
Not only can this wretched brat not be beaten, but we also have to spend money on her medical treatment and eat and live in her house!
What terrible thing happened to her to encounter this despicable mother and daughter!
But there's no other way now. Jiang Anqing must live. She's the only bargaining chip we can use to blackmail Xiang Jin. Xiang Jin has become increasingly disobedient lately. If we lose Jiang Anqing as leverage, it's hard to say what she might do.
The most urgent task is to make Murong Xiao fall in love with Xiang Qi and at the same time make him even more disgusted with Xiang Jin.
"Take a few photos of Jiang Anqing and send them to me, try to make it look like he's been beaten badly and severely, right now."
After hanging up the phone, Li Shuhui walked over to Xiang Qi and gently tucked her in.
"Aqi, don't be discouraged. That bitch will be devastated when she sees Jiang Anqing's photo. Then she'll do whatever I tell her to do. Pretend to be sick for two days so that Murong Xiao doesn't suspect anything. Once you're better, you can find a way to win him over."
"But Mother, when will this end?"
"Why don't you think of another way? I really can't understand Ah Xiao's attitude anymore. He was much gentler to me when we were abroad. Although he spent most of his time asking Xiang Jin questions, he was definitely trying to use the opportunity to get closer to me."
"But ever since we moved into the villa, our relationship has actually cooled down. If this continues, I'm afraid..."
"Don't panic, don't panic, Mom is here for you. I'll definitely come up with a solution. By the way, what was the name of Murong Xiao's previous fiancée?"
"I don't remember, I think her surname was Lu, what's wrong?"
"Lu? Was the girl you hit with your car surnamed Lu?" A sudden thought flashed through Li Shuhui's mind, and her thoughts opened up.
Both have the surname Lu, so could they be the same person?
If it were just me, that would be great!
"Mom, what nonsense are you talking about? It was Xiang Jin who was hit and killed, not me!" Xiang Qi looked towards the door in a panic, afraid that someone might be overhearing her.
“Yes, yes, it was Xiang Jin, Mom was wrong.” Li Shuhui gradually calmed down. “Do you think Murong Xiao would still be as calm as he is now if he knew that Xiang Jin had killed his fiancée?”
Xiang Qi's eyes lit up, and she smiled: "Then that means we're enemies..."
…………
When Xiang Jin received the photos sent by Li Shuhui, she was stunned for a moment.
The surge of anger almost overwhelmed her reason, and she frantically called Li Shuhui before suddenly stopping.
She let go and opened Bai Ningshuang's phone.
"Shuangshuang, can we start our plan now?" She couldn't take it anymore, she really couldn't take it anymore.
“Okay. Ah Jin, you take care of the first step, and I'll take care of the rest.”
"good."
Xiang Jin took a deep breath, tidied herself up, forced herself to eat something, and then set off for the hospital.
She didn't know which ward Xiang Qi was in, but since the hospital was under the Fengrong Group, she made the decision with just one phone call. Before going up, she even bought some fruit baskets, making her look like a visitor.
As I arrived outside the ward, I overheard Li Shuhui scolding someone.
She pushed open the door and entered, finding Jingjing standing before the hospital bed, head bowed, listening to her scolding. A pile of shards of broken porcelain lay at her feet, containing porridge. It seemed Jingjing had brought the porridge as instructed by Li Shuhui, but had somehow offended her and been thoroughly berated by the two of them.
This scene is quite similar to when she was at the Xiang family.
Back then, I was the one who got scolded and cleaned up the mess. I remember once I was slapped by Xiang Qi just because she knocked on the door a little too much when she came in; and sometimes, even when I hadn't done anything wrong, I would still get a beating and go hungry for several meals just because Xiang Qi was in a bad mood, so that she could vent her anger on me.
Now that they're married, they've lost their punching bag and are taking their anger out on Jingjing.
Jingjing looked aggrieved but dared not cry, so she squatted on the ground picking up the broken pieces while wiping away her tears.
"Jingjing, here's a broom, let's use it," Xiangjin said.
"What are you doing here? What are you doing interfering in the affairs of the Xiang family, a married woman like you?" Li Shuhui said coldly.
Xiang Jin didn't speak. She picked up a broom, walked over to Jingjing, swept up the shards for her, and then pulled her aside: "What do you think I'm doing here? Do I have to explain what you did to Jiang Anqing?"
"Isn't that what you asked for, Xiang Jin? You should have thought of this when you threatened me." Li Shuhui slowly peeled an apple, thinking that Jiang Anqing was indeed more effective. Just a photo was enough to make her rush to the hospital. It was easy for her to control her.
Li Shuhui looked somewhat smug.
"Is that so? Then don't blame me for turning my back on you." After saying that, Xiang Jin took out her phone and dialed a number. "Ready? Let's get started."
After saying that, he hung up the phone and turned to leave.
