"Okay, okay, please try to hurry, thank you."
"Um."
Without giving Qiao Yaxiang a chance to speak, he hung up the phone immediately.
Qiao Yaxiang heard the phone ring, glanced at it disdainfully, and then tossed it aside.
"What kind of person is this! They only do things for money!"
If she had other options and wasn't afraid of retaliation, she would have already started cursing.
But she had no idea who the other person was, while the other person knew everything about her. The more Qiao Yaxiang thought about this situation, the more frightened she became.
Won't she get herself involved in this?
Even so, what other options did she have?
If she had such a thing, why would she have taken such a risk?
Now that the arrow has been released, there's no turning back. She can only hope that the mysterious person can kill Jian Yixue, this scourge, for her.
She is the one who caused herself to become like this, and she has also made her daughter suffer along with her.
——
In the second bedroom, Jian Jiaojiao watched her mother leave before turning her gaze away.
My mother's words came to mind, and countless guesses flashed through my mind.
Even at the very end, she couldn't figure out who her mother would hire to deal with Jian Yixue.
After thinking it over, Jian Jiaojiao shook her head, rubbing her hair vigorously with both hands, choosing to give up guessing about it.
Jian Jiaojiao suddenly thought of Zhao Heng, who had stood up for her not long ago, and wondered how things were going.
Jian Jiaojiao picked up her phone and dialed Zhao Heng's number, but no one answered for a long time.
Jian Jiaojiao frowned as she looked at the phone she was clutching tightly in her hand.
Why isn't he answering her calls?
What does that mean?
For a moment, Jian Jiaojiao couldn't figure out the reason.
Jian Jiaojiao tried calling several times, but no one answered.
In the end, Jian Jiaojiao was filled with displeasure, cursing Zhao Heng's entire family in her heart, and was about to hang up the phone when the call was unexpectedly answered.
"What is it?"
Zhao Heng's tone on the other end of the phone was extremely displeased, and Jian Jiaojiao could even detect a hint of blame in his voice.
Jian Jiaojiao couldn't figure out the reason, but she was still very dissatisfied with Zhao Heng's attitude.
The words that came out of their mouths, however, told a completely different story.
"Heng-ge, I've been missing you a bit. Are you free to meet up?"
Jian Jiaojiao asked tentatively.
Jian Jiaojiao had originally planned to ask directly, but Zhao Heng's attitude made her afraid to speak frankly.
In the past, based on her understanding of Zhao Heng, he would never have changed his attitude towards her so drastically for no reason. It could only mean that something must have happened that she was unaware of.
She didn't know exactly what it was.
But her woman's intuition told her that this must be a big deal for Zhao Heng.
"Get lost! I don't have time!"
A roar came through the phone, and before Jian Jiaojiao could speak, the call was abruptly ended.
Hearing the beeping sound from the other end of the phone, Jian Jiaojiao was stunned for a moment, then realized what was happening.
He was furious, picked up his phone and threw it heavily on the bed, staring at it with a sinister look on his face.
The thought that she had been so polite and kind, yet the call had been hung up on, and that she hadn't gotten any answers to her questions, made Jian Jiaojiao feel like a volcano about to erupt.
Those venomous eyes stared fiercely at the phone, as if they wanted to pierce it.
That terrifying gaze seemed to be looking through a phone at a sworn enemy with whom one has a deep-seated blood feud.
Indeed, at this moment, Zhao Heng was like an enemy to Jian Jiaojiao.
