Innocent people?
It's clear that Li Luyao is the real culprit, yet she's still protecting him at a time like this.
Regardless of his current state of mind, Jiang Yilai continued, "Please keep your word and release him first. I will stay tonight."
These words were full of irony to Fu Nanxiao.
She was willing to risk everything to save Li Luyao.
"Fine, then you'd better take it tonight!"
Fu Nanxiao turned and left, leaving Jiang Yilai soaked to the bone. She slowly slumped to the ground, hugging her knees, feeling utterly helpless.
She never imagined that the two of them would end up like this; Fu Nanxiao's hatred seemed to shroud her like a dark cloud.
"You really have a knack for hooking up with two powerful men at the same time."
A mocking voice came from the doorway. Jiang Yilai looked up and quickly composed herself. Her vulnerability was not something to be shown to the enemy.
Gu Nianqiang glanced at the water on the ground and struck a pose as the lady of the house.
"If you're a servant, do your job properly. Don't try to seduce other people's boyfriends. Clean up the floor right now."
"I understand, I'll get right on it."
It felt so good to be able to boss Jiang Yilai around. She wished that Fu Nanxiao could take revenge on Jiang Yilai like this for the rest of his life, so that she could at least gain some advantage.
She would never let this woman return to Fu Nanxiao's side again; she had to find a way to drive her away.
What slightly improved Jiang Yilai's mood was the phone call she received from Li Luyao ten minutes later, informing her that he had been released.
"Lai Lai, where are you?" Li Luyao's voice sounded somewhat urgent.
He was framed purely because of his carelessness. Due to the suddenness of the incident, he was detained at the police station, which restricted his freedom and prevented him from contacting his own people.
Otherwise, given Li Luyao's status, how could he have been detained for so long? He knew that only that bastard Fu Nanxiao could have done all this behind the scenes.
Jiang Yilai couldn't let him know her current situation, so she lied and said, "I'm at Yufei's house. I'll come back tomorrow morning. You suffered today, so go back and get some rest."
Li Luyao paused for a few seconds before speaking: "But I want to see you now."
"It's not convenient right now, I'll come see you tomorrow." Jiang Yilai said this with great effort, trying to remain calm.
Li Luyao could hear her weariness and didn't want to disturb her any further.
"Alright, I have something to tell you tomorrow."
Li Luyao's goodness is evident in every aspect; he has been incredibly attentive to her over the years. If it weren't for the fact that she still had Fu Nanxiao in her heart, she would really want to try to accept this person.
Now that Fu Nanxiao is tormenting her in various ways, she doesn't know how long she can hold onto the feelings she once had for him.
After hanging up the phone and turning around, Fu Nanxiao appeared behind him again for some reason. His lips were slightly red and swollen, from where Jiang Yilai had bitten him earlier.
"Just talking to him makes you so happy."
With Jiang Yilai right in front of him, Fu Nanxiao simply couldn't help but pay attention to her every move.
Seeing that her worries and smiles came from another man, he was truly furious inside.
"Is there anything else you need?"
Jiang Yilai avoided discussing this topic with him, lest he go crazy again.
"Prepare some scented candles, red wine, and steak."
This is a candlelight dinner. Jiang Yilai wrote it down: "Okay, I'll bring it to the room later."
There wasn't a trace of jealousy in her eyes; if she cared about him, she wouldn't have such a calm expression.
