The voice sounded a little unfamiliar.
Jiang Li was certain she had never heard of it.
But since the other party had specifically called her by name, not going out would make her seem guilty and a coward.
"Jiang Li, don't go out!" Lu Jiming's voice rang out from outside the door, with a hint of nervousness in it. "I'm going out to get rid of her."
Jiang Li sensed the unusual emotion in Lu Jiming's words. She looked at Lu Shiyan and asked curiously, "Who is this person? Why is Lu Jiming so nervous?"
Lu Shiyan naturally recognized who the person was.
There was a hint of helplessness in his expression.
But she didn't know how to explain it to Jiang Li.
This matter can only be described in four words...
That is... a complete mess.
It's hard to explain.
"Ayan, is there something you're having trouble telling us?" Jiang Li felt this was definitely not a simple matter.
“Actually, no. The person outside is called Yao Qing. She and Lu Jiming grew up together, and their families are very close.” As Lu Shiyan spoke, his head started to ache even more. “When Yao Qing was little, she liked to follow Lu Jiming around, and Lu Jiming liked to follow me around, so I’m quite familiar with that girl…”
"And then?" Jiang Li asked with more curiosity. "How did things turn out like this between childhood sweethearts?"
"Later, I don't know when it started, Yao Qing's desire to control Lu Jiming became stronger and stronger. She wouldn't allow him to play with other girls. Even if he just said a word by chance, she would make a fuss and hysterically target them..." Lu Shiyan felt helpless when he thought of the terrible things that happened back then. "Later, it was found out that she had mental problems, so her parents sent her to a sanatorium for treatment."
Who would have thought...
The person suddenly returned.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Li couldn't help but laugh, "Then this matter becomes interesting."
"Hmm?" Looking at Jiang Li's smile, Lu Shiyan was somewhat lost in thought.
“According to you, you haven’t been in contact with her for a long time,” Jiang Li said slowly. “Otherwise, you wouldn’t only find out now that she’s back.”
After a pause, Jiang Li continued, "Putting aside when she came back and how she knew I was here, the fact that she could call out my name so accurately, don't you think... is quite interesting?"
"Jiang Jiang, don't worry, I will investigate this matter thoroughly."
It's unclear how Lu Jiming negotiated with Yao Qing, but not only did he fail to stop her, he also allowed her to rush in.
"Jiang Li! You bitch, you—"
Yao Qing rushed in and started cursing at Jiang Li, but before she could finish speaking, she was stunned by what she saw.
Yao Qing: "!!!"
The madness in his eyes quickly faded as he was shocked by what he saw.
She stared blankly at the scene.
Lu Shiyan held Jiang Li in his arms and kissed her forehead.
Lu Shiyan seemed to have been disturbed. He released Jiang Li, and anger at being disturbed surfaced in his eyes.
His cold gaze fell on Yao Qing, causing Yao Qing to involuntarily shrink back.
"Uncle...Uncle..." Yao Qing shuddered, stammering in fear, "Waaah...Uncle...I'm...I'm sorry! I didn't mean to!!!"
After saying that, Yao Qing immediately turned around and ran away.
She clearly received news that Lu Jiming had brought Jiang Li home, and she was so enraged that she rushed over without thinking.
Who would have thought that the person connected to Jiang Li was actually Lu Shiyan!
If Lu Shiyan holds a grudge against her, she'll be finished!
"Stop!" Jiang Li, who had just come back to her senses from being kissed by Lu Shiyan, called out to Yao Qing, who was about to leave.
With Lu Shiyan present, Yao Qing dared not disobey.
She stood obediently, turned her head and gave Jiang Li a flattering smile, "You must be Jiang Li, right? You're really good-looking... um... cough cough... you and Uncle are such a good match."
Jiang Li ignored her choice of words and said casually, "You didn't treat me like this just now."
"I'm sorry, I was wrong. I shouldn't have listened to the slander and misunderstood you!" Yao Qing apologized with a sullen expression.
When Lu Jiming is not involved, Yao Qing acts like a normal person, and her current appearance seems fine.
Yao Qing learned immediately that Jiang Li had transferred to Sacred Heart Academy and become Lu Jiming's deskmate.
So she rushed back.
Later, she received another photo, a picture of Jiang Li entering Lu Shiyan's villa.
Since Jiang Li and Lu Jiming are classmates, and Lu Jiming is protecting Jiang Li at school, Jiang Li's presence here naturally makes people think that it is related to Lu Jiming.
Moreover, Lu Shiyan was known for being uninterested in women, so she would never dare to involve Jiang Li and Lu Shiyan together.
Who would have thought...
Yao Qing was really about to cry.
"Believing slander..." Jiang Li's smile widened, and she showed a curious expression. "Then can you tell me, whose slander did you believe?"
“This…” Yao Qing hesitated, not wanting to expose her good friend.
"It's Jiang Xueqi, isn't it?" Jiang Li suddenly said a name.
Yao Qing looked surprised.
How did Jiang Li know?
etc……
Jiang Li's surname is Jiang...
So she is...
Jiang Xueqi often cried to her, saying that the Jiang family had a daughter who had been away for more than ten years. After returning, she took away all the family's attention, which caused her great pain, but she dared not show it.
Even without meeting her, Yao Qing felt an extreme aversion to the daughter she had found.
Especially knowing about Jiang Li and Lu Jiming...
Yao Qing was so angry she wanted to tear Jiang Li apart.
But now...
She knew that the person connected to Jiang Li was Lu Shiyan...
"It seems you and Jiang Xueqi have a pretty good relationship." Jiang Li's expression was quite amused. "Over the years, you've stood up for her quite a bit, been used as a pawn by her, haven't you?"
Because of Lu Shiyan, Yao Qing had mixed feelings about Jiang Li, and even felt that she shouldn't dislike her.
But now...
She actually slandered her best friend...
"Jiang Li! What nonsense are you spouting? Xueqi is so gentle, kind, and understanding, how could she use someone as a pawn? I stood up for her willingly!" Yao Qing's eyes flashed with resentment, and the faint madness that appeared made her emotions even more agitated. "It's one thing for you to bully Xueqi in the Jiang family, but now you're even smearing her outside. How could Xueqi have a relative like you?"
"Oh? Is that so?" Jiang Li's smile deepened. "Then do you know... Jiang Xueqi likes Lu Jiming?"
Yao Qing froze for a moment, her eyes clearly showing disbelief. "What nonsense are you talking about? Xueqi doesn't like him at all. For so many years, Xueqi has been the one helping me with my plans and keeping an eye on Lu Jiming. How could she possibly like him... It's impossible, absolutely impossible. Just give up on that idea. I won't listen to your attempts to sow discord!"
"It's alright, I don't need you to believe me." Jiang Li shrugged, then slowly dropped another bombshell, "Anyway, whether you live or die has nothing to do with me. It's just that your family shouldn't be implicated. If you can get rid of the peach blossom charm on you, then do so."
"Peach Blossom Serenade? What Peach Blossom Serenade?!"
