After enjoying the delicious food prepared by Assistant Chen at Qin Jue's home with him, Jiang Duoduo was driven home by Qin Jue after dinner.
The Bugatti Veyron was parked at the entrance of the residential area. When she got out of the car, Qin Jue followed her out.
Jiang Duoduo resisted, "You really don't need to take me home... I can go home by myself."
Qin Jue's face turned cold, clearly displeased. "What are you afraid of?"
Seeing how afraid Duoduo was of him following, he already had a suspect in mind.
"I..." Jiang Duoduo stammered for a long time, and finally told the truth, "It's just that Niannian doesn't know our true relationship yet."
This made Qin Jue completely believe that Duo Duo was afraid of Ye Nian, and made him suddenly regret that he hadn't paid attention to Duo Duo these past few days and hadn't contacted her sooner to reconcile.
He was determined to rescue Duoduo from the Jiang family, and just as he was about to speak, a male voice came from behind him.
Gu Yan, who had just returned from outside, asked coldly after confirming the identities of the two people in front of him, "Duoduo, didn't you go shopping with Qin Xue? What happened to him?"
The magnetic voice startled Jiang Duoduo, who turned around and said, "I just came back from shopping with Xuexue."
Gu Yan stared at Qin Jue. Wasn't Qin Jue angered and left last time? He hadn't shown up for the past few days. Why did he reappear today?
He demanded an explanation from Duoduo, his voice low and menacing: "So, the one who came back with you was President Qin?"
However, Duoduo completely ignored him, turned around, and continued walking forward.
This performance made Qin Jue extremely satisfied!
Gu Yan saw Qin Jue's lips curl up in a smile, clearly a provocation.
He had no choice but to resort to his trump card, "Duoduo, instead of going to see Ji Yue, who is still lying in the hospital injured because of you, you went shopping... Your godmother will definitely be angry if she finds out." He paused, then continued, "We'll go to the hospital to see Ji Yue right now."
Gu Yan was furious; he had actually been reduced to using Ji Yue as a trump card.
Jiang Duoduo paused, then turned back around. "Now?"
Just as Gu Yan was about to answer, Qin Jue spoke first: "Ji Yue is already going through the discharge procedures; his wounds have healed."
Qin Jue answered slowly and deliberately. Although he had left in anger last time, he had sent people to keep an eye on Ji Yue and Gu Yan's every move. That was why he could keep sulking without worry.
Jiang Duoduo was shocked and looked at Qin Jue, "Huh? Wasn't Ji Yue seriously injured?"
“His minor injury has even faded away yesterday, leaving only a scab.”
"What?"
Jiang Duoduo turned to Gu Yan angrily, "You and Ji Yue conspired to lie to me, didn't you?"
Gu Yan frowned. Ji Yue's burns were severe. He had glanced at the wound yesterday and it was clearly still a large scar!
Good heavens!
Gu Yan realized that Qin Jue's absence for the past few days wasn't due to a grudge, but rather because he was learning new techniques.
That's quite a clever way to sow discord!
Gu Yan watched helplessly as Duo Duo puffed out her cheeks and stormed off in a huff, while Qin Jue glared at him with a face that practically screamed "smug little devil."
Then, he watched them walk further and further away, took out his phone, and dialed Ji Yue's number, "Did you complete the discharge procedures today?"
"No."
"Damn it! Let me tell you, Qin Jue is nothing..."
After Qin Jue dropped Duo Duo off at her doorstep, he said, "Go inside."
Aren't you coming in with me?
"No. It's dark now, I just want to help you get home."
Qin Jue's brief remark immediately boosted Duo Duo's favorability. "Mm!"
