Chapter 119 Turning Black into White
Ji Xia was now completely putting herself in An Li's shoes, and when she mentioned Lu Ziyi, her face was full of disdain.
After all, she and Anli were barely friends, and she couldn't bear to see her end up being cheated out of everything by a man.
Seeing her indignant expression, Jiang Ran couldn't help but comfort her, saying, "It's no use saying more; she won't listen."
After saying that, he pursed his lips slightly, a hint of regret flashing across his face.
Although she only glanced at it, she noticed that there was a faint gloomy aura about the mist.
This baby is showing signs of miscarriage and cannot be saved...
"So, knowing exactly what kind of person Lu Ziyi is, we're just going to ignore him like this?" Ji Xia frowned slightly, a hint of irritation flashing through her mind.
Her previous marriage was due to poor judgment of character, and she has spent many years suffering injustice. She really doesn't want to see anyone repeat the same mistake.
"Ranran, I'm not one to meddle in other people's business, but I have to get involved in this matter."
Ji Xia was determined to tear off Lu Ziyi's hypocritical face and expose his true colors.
After saying that, he turned around and chased after them in the direction they had left.
"Hey!" Jiang Ran reached out and pulled, but couldn't stop him.
Watching her retreating figure, he slowly shook his head and sighed softly, "Why bother?"
A hint of helplessness flashed across his face as he spoke.
Ji Xia hurriedly ran out and saw An Li getting into the car not far away. Lu Ziyi stood beside her and opened the car door for her in a very gentlemanly manner.
She quickly took a few steps and then called out softly, "Anli!"
Hearing the sound, An Li paused, turned her head and saw Ji Xia walking towards her. After noticing that she was alone, her tightly furrowed brows relaxed slightly.
"Is there something you need?" Because of Jiang Ran, she didn't like Ji Xia very much anymore, so her tone was inevitably a bit stiff.
Ji Xia glanced at her, first at her lower abdomen, then looked up and stared directly at her: "I know you won't listen to anything I say now, but if you still consider me a friend..."
As she spoke, she paused slightly, glanced at Lu Ziyi with disdain, and then continued, "Take a good look at the people around you. It's always good to be cautious."
Anli understood the implication in her words, and a look of doubt flashed across her face.
Before she could even ask, a hint of displeasure flashed in Lu Ziyi's eyes, but he maintained a gentle facade on his face.
She immediately retorted, "What do you mean by that? Since you're Lily's friend, you should be thinking about her. Why are you blindly believing those unfounded rumors and being unable to bear seeing your friend do well?"
Upon hearing this, An Li's expression changed. Between Ji Xia and Lu Ziyi, she naturally chose the latter.
Moreover, after hearing what Lu Ziyi said, he instantly realized that Ji Xia had only come because she believed that woman's words.
Thinking about the complicated relationship between that woman and Lu Zi, An Li's face showed a hint of anger.
"Ji Xia, you're quite opinionated. What kind of spell did that woman cast on you that made you listen to her so much?"
Before Ji Xia could even explain, An Li opened the car door and got in, unwilling to have any further dealings with her.
Seeing this, Lu Ziyi raised an eyebrow and met Ji Xia's gaze, his eyes filled with a hint of provocation.
Ji Xia's expression turned slightly cold, and a fierce glint flashed in her eyes.
Lu Ziyi turned around, got into the car, stepped on the gas, and sped away, leaving Ji Xia alone in the same spot.
Ji Xia's eyes held a hint of coldness. She had originally thought that Lu Ziyi was nothing more than a rich man who lived off his wife because of his good looks.
But I never expected that he was so cunning.
With just a single sentence, he turned the tide; he was too adept at exploiting women's jealousy...
At the same time, Jiang Ran saw Ji Xia chasing after her to offer advice, and paused slightly, not intending to follow her.
After all, An Li harbored deep hostility towards him, and Lu Ziyi was adding fuel to the fire.
An Li is likely to ignore Ji Xia's advice and instead take her anger out on her.
"Beep beep—"
Just then, Jiang Ran received a notification from the store on her phone. She casually took out her phone and glanced at it, then a look of surprise flashed across her face.
Offline orders?
She runs an online store primarily to market her business online, which doesn't require face-to-face interaction. It's just a matter of calculating with her fingers or writing a talisman for a specific request, saving her a lot of trouble.
However, in order to expand their business in the early stages, they also set up offline channels, so the prices were naturally set relatively high.
After all, some things involve privacy, and it's easier to handle them online. This is the first offline order, so Jiang Ran raised an eyebrow, feeling somewhat surprised.
A thought flashed through my mind, and I lightly tapped my finger, but I still pressed accept, deciding to go and take a look.
On the other side, Si Yanxiao lowered his eyes and looked out the window, his eyes thoughtful. Behind him stood a man in a black suit, who was the person he had specially sent to monitor Jiang Ran.
At this moment, he was respectfully reporting the information he had gathered to him.
"So they met in private?" Si Yanxiao sneered.
The bodyguard nodded and replied in a low voice, "It should be."
"Should?" Si Yanxiao raised his voice slightly at the end, looking puzzled.
The bodyguard bowed slightly and explained, "Because Madam entered with another woman, and Lu Ziyi entered after her."
“But I saw the two talking face to face, but it looked more like a chance encounter. Afterwards, Lu Ziyi left with another woman.”
The bodyguard recounted everything he had seen and heard to Si Yanxiao in great detail, even explaining his own speculations.
Upon hearing this, Si Yanxiao's lips curled slightly, and he sneered, "A chance encounter?"
The relationship between Jiang Ran and Lu Ziyi was already ambiguous, so their chance encounter at this time was just too coincidental.
Who would believe such a thing?
"That woman is good at acting; she's probably putting on this act on purpose to mislead people."
The bodyguard lowered his eyes slightly but did not respond.
Si Yanxiao tilted his head slightly, intentionally or unintentionally stroking the ring on his hand, a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes.
He then asked, "What does Lu Ziyi's relationship seem to be with that woman who came out later?"
After a moment's thought, the bodyguard replied in a deep voice, "Their behavior is intimate; they don't seem like ordinary friends."
Upon hearing this, Si Yanxiao raised an eyebrow slightly, looking thoughtful, and then waved to his bodyguard.
The bodyguard understood, acknowledged the order, and left, closing the door behind him.
He was left alone in the room in an instant. Si Yanxiao slowly poured the now-cold tea into the teacup.
Recalling Jiang Ran's righteous mockery of Lu Ziyi in front of her, insisting that she had not helped him at all but had instead secretly kicked him when he was down.
It looks absolutely ridiculous now!
Thinking of this, a hint of disdain flashed in Si Yanxiao's eyes.
He muttered to himself, "Foolish! He doesn't even know how to cover his tracks when he lies!"
After saying that, he let out a cold laugh.
In his view, Jiang Ran was definitely helping in secret, but he just hadn't been able to find any evidence before.
Now that Lu Ziyi has been successfully released from prison, she absolutely deserves credit!
Judging from the situation, the two must have developed a rift after that incident, and Lu Ziyi was behaving intimately with other women.
Most likely it was because he was fickle and easily bored, so he discarded Jiang Ran like a worn-out shoe.
Si Yanxiao looked up at the window, suddenly feeling an eagerness to see Jiang Ran, so he could tear off her annoying face...
I just didn't know that Jiang Ran was full of lies and was plotting step by step.
What kind of expression do you have now that you know you've done something for someone else?
————
Anli felt a surge of annoyance because of Ji Xia's words, feeling irritated by Ji Xia's inexplicable meddling.
But why would she go through all that trouble to repeatedly try to persuade me?
After her thoughts calmed down, a hint of hesitation flashed through An Li's mind.
Lu Ziyi tilted his head slightly and noticed that An Li looked thoughtful. He understood immediately, pursed his lips, and asked first, "What's wrong? Still thinking about what happened earlier?"
“Hmm.” An Li didn’t hide anything and admitted it directly. Then she turned to look at Lu Ziyi with a scrutinizing look in her eyes and asked, “What is your relationship with that woman? Why is Ji Xia staring at you so intently?”
After a slight pause, he continued, "Flies don't land on eggs without cracks. What exactly did you do?"
An Li lowered her eyes to look at him, carefully observing the changes in Lu Ziyi's expression.
His expression remained unchanged, and with a slight brow lift, he slowly replied, "What can I do?"
Then she asked in return, "Lily, you don't believe me?"
There was a hint of grievance in his tone.
An Li pursed her lips slightly and quickly denied it, saying, "How could that be?"
Lu Ziyi knew that An Li had already become suspicious, and the most important thing now was to dispel her doubts.
