Kaifeng's expression changed.
He's not the owner here, so sometimes his words don't carry any weight.
But he still retorted, embarrassed and annoyed, "This is my fiancée's house. Don't you know what identity I have to call the police on?"
“Your fiancée hasn’t said anything, and neither has the owner of this house. What are you, an outsider, doing shouting? Besides… your so-called fiancé…” Jiang Li deliberately drew out her words, looking at Kaifeng with a half-smile, “How long do you think you can last?”
"What do you mean?" Kaifeng looked at Jiang Li warily, but after failing to discern anything, he turned to Lingling and coldly questioned, "Lingling, what exactly does she mean? And what do you mean?"
Lingling withdrew her gaze and lowered her eyes, not letting go of the opportunity Jiang Li had provided. She said, "Kaifeng, let's cancel the engagement."
"What?!" Kaifeng exclaimed in surprise, his voice rising. He yelled at Lingling in shock, "Why? Our relationship is so good, we're already engaged, why would you say something like that? Lingling, take those words back right now! If you do, I'll forgive you, and we'll pretend nothing happened..."
Lingling suddenly looked up at Kaifeng in disbelief, then finally revealed an amused expression. "Forgive me? Why should you forgive me? What did I do wrong that requires your forgiveness?"
"I……"
“Kaifeng…” Lingling looked at the man in front of her with clear eyes, her gaze full of seriousness, “Now that things have come to this, is there anything else you want to say?”
"What can I say?" Kaifeng felt a little flustered by Lingling's gaze, but he still stubbornly said, "I've been devoted to you, my heart is full of you. I've gone to great lengths for you and your father, hoping that we could be together. But what are you doing? Look at what you're doing! Not only have you trampled my sincerity on the ground, but you've also... you've treated me like this. Do you really think you've done right by my sincere heart?"
"Ahem..." Jiang Li couldn't help but cough, and she quickly said, "Um... wait a minute, I have a question to ask..."
Lingling and Kaifeng immediately looked over.
However, there was a hint of fierceness in Kaifeng's eyes.
Jiang Li looked completely innocent, not taking Kaifeng's fierceness seriously at all, and asked to herself, "You said you went to great lengths for Lingling and Lingling's father, what great efforts did you go through? Just saying it isn't enough, you need to have evidence."
Kaifeng was speechless for a moment.
Jiang Li glanced at Lingling again before slowly saying, "If you're referring to these ornaments, and the things you did to Lingling, then..."
"Jiang Li!!!" Kaifeng panicked completely. He roared, interrupting Jiang Li, "Shut up!!!"
Regardless of whether Lingling and her father believe Jiang Li, once Jiang Li reveals certain things, then...
It was destined...
It will plant the seeds of resentment in their hearts.
Therefore, he would absolutely not allow Jiang Li to say it.
Jiang Li crossed her arms and remained silent.
Lingling's mind cleared up at this moment. She heard Kaifeng's words and frowned as she looked at him. "Kaifeng...you...you know her?"
She was certain that she had not introduced Jiang Li's name to Kaifeng.
Moreover, he didn't know Jiang Li at all before.
Judging from Kaifeng's tone and eyes, he definitely knows Jiang Li.
Why……
Why did he know Jiang Li?
Or is it...?
Jiang Li, this master of metaphysics, is actually very powerful.
So impressive that even Kaifeng knows him?
But if he knew her, why did he pretend not to know her just now?
This realization made Lingling even more serious.
"I...I..." Kaifeng didn't know what to say for a moment, but when he met Lingling's questioning gaze, he finally managed to say weakly, "I...I just suddenly remembered, and...I don't really know her..."
"Yeah?"
“Three years ago, there was a very popular variety show, and one of the guests was Jiang Li.” Kaifeng explained cautiously to Lingling, “Back then, in order to promote her, the production team arranged for her to have the identity of a metaphysical master, and then she became famous, so I have some impression of that.”
"So you also know that Jiang Li is a master of metaphysics?" Lingling continued to ask.
"That's not necessarily true." Kaifeng suddenly snorted coldly. At this moment, he would never express his approval of Jiang Li's abilities. "There are too many shady dealings involved in someone who is being promoted by the production team. Those shady dealings are enough to make it clear that she has no real talent. All she has is the production team's arrangements and special effects. Lingling, although she has some fame, she is a fraud. Don't be fooled by her."
Lingling's expression was complicated. She took a deep breath. "But...it's been three years...and you still remember her. You can still easily call out her name. Doesn't that say something?"
"I didn't, Lingling, don't listen to her nonsense. The master I found is from the Metaphysics Association," Kaifeng said anxiously. "Even if you don't believe me, you have to believe the Metaphysics Association, right?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Li suddenly laughed, "The Metaphysics Association? Is that so?"
"Of course it's true! I only consulted truly skilled masters, unlike you, a charlatan who just tries to attract attention!" Kaifeng retorted angrily.
Jiang Li nodded, indicating that she understood. "Oh, then tell me who the other person is? What's their name? Let me see if I recognize them?"
Kaifeng: "..."
"Isn't he a powerful master? Are you afraid of people finding out?" Jiang Li's expression turned even colder. "Or do you know that the person you're talking about isn't even in the Metaphysics Association? After all, my connections are wider than yours. If I go to the Metaphysics Association to inquire and they don't find that person, that would be terrible, wouldn't it?"
"You...you..."
"What do you mean? Am I wrong?" Jiang Li's expression became even more sarcastic, and then she opened her palm, revealing a work badge in her hand.
That was her work badge from the metaphysics association.
Holding up her work badge and waving it in front of everyone, Jiang Li said lazily, "Look, this is my work badge. I'm an advisor to the Metaphysics Association. This badge was personally made for me by Mr. Gu, the president of the Metaphysics Association. Even if I don't know the person you're talking about, I can verify their identity with just one phone call..."
Kaifeng's expression instantly turned even more unpleasant.
He regretted it.
I regret saying the other person was from the metaphysics association.
If he were merely a reclusive, eccentric master who disliked showing his face, he could still find some excuses to deflect attention.
But now...
He directly handed the evidence to Jiang Li.
So he gritted his teeth, took something out of his pocket, and muttered a couple of sentences to himself.
"What are you doing?" Lingling looked at Kaifeng in disbelief. Although she didn't know the specifics, she could understand what Kaifeng was doing just by looking at him.
This appearance is exactly the same as someone who uses evil magic to control other people's feelings.
only……
It seems to have had no effect whatsoever.
"Don't waste your time. I've already undoed what you did to Lingling," Jiang Li said, then looked at Lingling and added, "Alright, stop looking so incredulous. Call the police."
Lingling: "..."
