Upon hearing this, Jiang Xueqi's expression became even more ferocious.
She snapped angrily at Jiang Li, "What's it to you? Why are you meddling in my business?!"
Jiang Li helped Jiang Xueqi steady herself and stepped back while dispelling her spell talisman.
“Alright, I won’t meddle. Now let’s talk about what you did to Yao Qing.” Jiang Li shrugged, her tone flippant. “I believe the Lu and Yao families are happy to hold you accountable.”
Jiang Xueqi: "!!!"
Thinking about what she had just said, Jiang Xueqi was so anxious that she was about to cry.
She quickly composed herself and glared at Jiang Li with a look of resentment. "It was you? It was you, wasn't it? It wasn't enough that you were swindling and cheating outside, now you've even used sorcery and evil magic on me! Jiang Li, I never thought you were this kind of person! You deliberately framed me, didn't you?!"
With just one sentence, Jiang Xueqi shifted all the blame onto Jiang Li.
"We've only known each other for a short time. How would I know what you've done?" Jiang Li scoffed, her expression turning even colder. "Even if I could control your mouth, I still wouldn't know exactly what underhanded things you've done! You think you're worthy to use me as a scapegoat?"
Jiang Xueqi choked, her face turning bright red.
But she couldn't just sit and wait to die.
Otherwise, she'll be truly finished!
"Let's call the police!" Jiang Li turned away from Jiang Xueqi and said to Lu Jiming, who was standing to the side, "I believe the police will give us a fair outcome!"
"No! You can't call the police!" Jiang Xueqi screamed, then her face changed, and she even admitted what she had done. "I admit, I used some improper methods, but... I didn't expect things to turn out like this."
As she spoke, Jiang Xueqi's eyes showed even more resentment. "Yao Qing did suffer a bit, but that was originally mine. She snatched it and drank it without my permission. Who can she blame? She can only blame herself for not knowing what she was doing!"
Yao Qing: "..."
She couldn't refute that.
But the thought of Jiang Xueqi taking advantage of her as a matter of course made her feel a surge of anger.
"Yao Qing deserved it, but what about me?" Lu Jiming's gaze towards Jiang Xueqi was as cold as ice, and his tone was frighteningly cold, somewhat resembling Lu Shiyan when he was serious. "Do I deserve to be schemed against by you?"
Jiang Xueqi's eyes flickered. "I had only heard that if two people drank the Peach Blossom Elixir containing each other's blood, they would fall in love and live happily ever after. I was just a young girl experiencing first love, so naturally I believed it. I didn't mean any harm at the time; I just thought, what if it works..."
As she spoke, Jiang Xueqi's tears flowed uncontrollably again, as if she had suffered a great injustice. "I'm sorry, I really didn't expect things to get so serious. I wanted to find that person to help remove the peach blossom charm from Yao Qing, but I searched for a long time and couldn't find that person... Waaah... I really didn't mean to..."
Such a heartfelt expression did evoke a sense of pity in some of Lu Jiming's friends.
But that feeling quickly disappeared.
They all knew the truth of the matter.
Although Jiang Xueqi's words seemed to make some sense, it didn't change what she did.
"Compensation for emotional distress, hush money for your mistake..." Jiang Li looked at Jiang Xueqi calmly and slowly uttered three words, "Two million."
Jiang Xueqi instantly forgot to cry. She looked at Jiang Li in astonishment, "You... what did you say?"
"Two million, card or bank transfer?" Jiang Li asked, stretching her wrists.
"Jiang Li!" Jiang Xueqi's voice rose several decibels as she screamed and demanded, "What right do you have to stand up for Lu Jiming and Yao Qing? Do you really think you're someone important?"
Jiang Li shrugged and didn't say anything.
Lu Jiming coldly replied, "What Jiang Li said is exactly what I meant, so how do you plan to pay me?"
Jiang Xueqi: "..."
“If you don’t give us the money within three days…” Yao Qing said in a cool tone, “I will sue you for intentionally harming others.”
After saying this, seeing Jiang Xueqi's suddenly changed expression, Yao Qing felt a sense of relief.
Oh!
Didn't you just want to sue her?
Now……
The wheel of fortune turns.
It's her turn to show off.
Jiang Xueqi bit her lip, and finally said with a wronged look, "Okay, I agree."
After saying that, Jiang Xueqi turned to leave.
"Stop." Jiang Li spoke slowly again.
Jiang Xueqi turned her head and glared at her, "What else do you want to do?!"
“We have to be careful in everything we do. Of course, we need to keep some evidence. What if you change your mind after you leave this courtyard?” Jiang Li said unhurriedly. “Just bear with it for a moment and record a video to show your attitude!”
"Jiang Li! Don't push your luck!!!"
Jiang Li remained unmoved. "We need some kind of guarantee. If you don't agree, we can notify the Jiang family to come and take you back. I believe the Jiang family will be willing to help you pay this amount."
"You!" If Jiang Xueqi's gaze could kill, Jiang Li would probably be riddled with holes by now.
She took a deep breath and gave in, "Okay! I'll record it!"
The Jiang family must absolutely not find out about this.
If they knew...
Then I will...
Jiang Xueqi glared fiercely at Jiang Li before reluctantly recording the video.
After recording the video, she couldn't wait to leave.
Two million!
Although she has a lot of pocket money, she also has many expenses. It's simply impossible for her to suddenly come up with two million!
After Jiang Xueqi left, Yao Qing was still staring blankly at the video on her phone.
Seeing Jiang Li standing calmly to the side, Yao Qing asked with some concern, "You've fallen out with her like this, aren't you afraid she'll cause trouble for you in the Jiang family?"
Are you misunderstanding something?
"What?"
"Do you think that if I tolerate her and give in to her, she won't cause me trouble?" Jiang Li said, then couldn't help but chuckle. "If she were a law-abiding person, why would she have instigated you to come back and deal with me in the first place?"
Yao Qing: "..."
That's absolutely right.
"Alright, let's stop talking about this." Jiang Li stretched. "This whole output has made me hungry. Let's go eat."
"good."
The group returned to the house.
The food has already been set on the table.
The food looked and smelled delicious, making everyone forget what had just happened and focus solely on eating.
Because Lu Shiyan was there, everyone behaved themselves and didn't dare to cause trouble while eating, and just focused on eating their rice.
Hmm, this is the first time I've ever enjoyed a meal so much.
After finishing the meal, Lu Shiyan patted Lu Jiming on the shoulder and said, "I'm going back to the company now. Take good care of your friend."
As he spoke, Lu Shiyan bent down slightly, and the jade pendant around his neck swayed in front of Lu Jiming's eyes.
Lu Jiming: "!!!"
After giving instructions to Lu Jiming, Lu Shiyan deliberately flashed in front of Bai Jing again.
Bai Jing: "..."
Is this the person in charge of the Lu family as he knows him?
This guy hasn't even graduated from kindergarten yet, has he?
but……
That jade pendant is so enviable!!!
