Chapter 256 Please Give Me Another Chance
Finally realized the fact that this was an excessive fear.
Xia Lei, who had been so arrogant just now, turned pale instantly. He looked at Zhao Jianguo with some despair, but what he met was the latter's face which looked like he was about to cry but had no tears left.
And the latter's expression of subconsciously avoiding and distancing himself from him the moment he met his gaze.
So, how could he be so stupid as to fall into the same trap twice?
In the past, he was blind and failed to recognize the great man, so he offended Jiang Wanning once.
Why did he offend people completely because of this now?
And in this way?
Xia Lei felt her scalp tingling for a moment, and cold sweat seemed to wet her entire back at this moment.
At this moment, he wished that time could go back, and go back to the moment a few minutes ago. He would definitely slap himself hard several times, and stop himself from talking nonsense without thinking.
But it is obviously too late to talk about this now.
Xia Lei believed that what he had said to Jiang Wanning just now in order to stand on Jiang Qingyan's side had offended her completely, and there was no room for redemption.
If he had known Jiang Wanning's identity earlier, he would have considered it before speaking again.
Stand with Jiang Qingyan...
yes!
Xia Lei suddenly thought of something, and his eyes, which had been as despaired as before, lit up again at this moment.
He offended Jiang Wanning because he wanted to stand on Jiang Qingyan's side!
If Xia Lei remembered correctly, there seemed to be news recently that the two people in power in the Jiang family had a lot of disagreements.
So it was all for Jiang Qingyan that he accidentally said those words to Jiang Wanning. With such a loyal statement, no matter what, Jiang Qingyan should be moved by him, right?
Thinking of this, Xia Lei couldn't help but cast his last look for help on Jiang Qingyan, who had been silent from beginning to end.
"Mr. Jiang, I..."
He thought, even if Jiang Qingyan was not immediately impressed by him.
But considering his "loyal" statement just now, he should at least say a few words to Jiang Wanning on his behalf.
After planning his retreat, Xia Lei's face, which had been filled with despair, seemed to show some hope again.
However, his hope was shattered again the moment Jiang Qingyan opened his mouth to say the next sentence.
"I never said I was going to kick her out."
The man who had been silent all this time finally had the chance to speak.
Taking advantage of his tall stature, Jiang Qingyan was looking down at the man who had just spoken rudely to his sister.
"as well as……"
Jiang Qingyan paused.
"I don't know you."
The taciturn man's words did not express any great emotional fluctuations, but like the Asura King of Hell, he sentenced Xia Lei to death in an instant.
"If I remember correctly, the Jiang family's security is currently being managed by your people, sister, right?"
Jiang Qingyan pursed his lips as he said this, his eyes inadvertently sweeping across Jiang Wanning's face.
"I don't know how any random person managed to sneak into the headquarters."
It was still a conflicting statement, and outsiders couldn't understand its depth, but it was concise and to the point, and it made Jiang Wanning's position clear.
From the beginning to the end, he never thought of having any relationship with Xia Lei.
It was also after he finished speaking.
Xia Lei on the other side was struck by lightning. He froze in place and couldn't believe what he heard.
Jiang Qingyan's reaction was completely beyond his expectations.
At the moment Jiang Qingyan finished speaking, Xia Lei felt a bone-chilling chill from the inside out.
Because just now, when he was following Jiang Qingyan and had not yet met Jiang Wanning, the former's attitude was also cold and he ignored him.
But it was precisely this attitude of neither rejection nor explicit acceptance that gave Xia Lei a vague illusion that Jiang Qingyan was not as difficult to get along with as rumored.
It was not until this moment, the moment the other party opened his mouth, that Xia Lei finally realized that he seemed to have been wrong from the very beginning.
Moreover, at the beginning, he actually wanted to influence the thoughts of people at this level and let the latter speak for him, which was even more outrageous.
"Boss Jiang, that's not the case. I..."
Xia Lei was overwhelmed by this huge fear and murmured for a while. He wanted to defend himself, but when he opened his mouth, he was met with Jiang Wanning's expression of curling her lips and smiling softly.
She was clearly still as docile and well-behaved as he had once remembered her, yet she gave him an inexplicable chill.
"Second brother taught me a lesson."
"Today's incident can only be attributed to my lack of discipline. I will immediately clear out all these unpresentable little shrimps so that they won't bother my second brother."
The brother and sister sang the same tune, and their light words were tantamount to sentencing Xia Lei to death.
It also made him completely despair: "Wan Ning! Wan Ning! Listen to me, I just said those words because I was possessed by the devil. I didn't mean that!"
Seeing Jiang Wanning gave an order, the security guards who had been standing not far away from the few people because of the commotion here rushed forward instantly. Xia Lei was really panicked now.
It is said that he accidentally offended Jiang Wanning when he was running that small drama crew in Shenzhen, but he was able to make a comeback.
It was because Jiang Wanning at that time was, after all, just the leader of a small company in a remote branch of the Jiang family, and had no influence in the entire circle.
But now, he offended again, and it was not just Jiang Wanning, but the entire Jiang family behind her!
Considering the influence that Jiang family has in the entire entertainment industry, his actions today are tantamount to ending his own career!
When he thought of this, Xia Lei couldn't stop shaking.
Just as the security guard was about to stop him, he grabbed Jiang Wanning's sleeve and said, "Wanning, consider this as me begging you!"
He shook his head like a rattle, and the next moment, under the surprised or shocked gazes of everyone, he knelt down in front of Jiang Wanning, and used his other free hand to slap himself in the face several times.
He was really scared now, and he slapped the middle-aged man a few times without leaving any strength. However, in the time it took him to turn around, several red marks had already appeared on the middle-aged man's slightly fat face.
"I have elderly parents and young children to support. I had no choice but to do what I did just now. Please give me another chance, okay?"
"I know you're kind and sweet, so just consider it a favor, considering our friendship as classmates for three years..."
Although Xia Lei himself couldn't say this now.
But he could not allow himself to be kicked out of the Jiang family by Jiang Wanning and others today.
Otherwise, with the speed at which gossip spreads in this circle, as soon as he was kicked out, rumors would have spread among everyone that he had offended the top boss in this circle.
If that happens, I'm afraid he will no longer have a place in the entertainment industry...
