Chapter 71

~7 min read 1,382 words

Chi Ce stood up: "Who are these two?"

"This is President Shen of Star Universe Technology, and the other is Miss Lin." After Secretary Guan introduced them, she squinted her eyes and said, "Miss Lin also cares about President Shen; she has to accompany President Shen here in the middle of the night."

Chi Ce smelled the smell of gunpowder.

"I have known A-Xun for many years." Lin Shutong scanned the courtyard without seeing Ke Zhongyu and Jiang Lai, "But Jiang Lai and President Ke... I haven't seen any subordinate who can be so cared for by their superior."

Secretary Guan continued to smile: "Miss Lin, who has returned from overseas, should be well-informed."

Lin Shutong didn't talk nonsense with her and asked directly: "Where is Jiang Lai? And why don't I see President Ke?"

Shen Xun couldn't wait any longer and started looking for people everywhere.

Jiang Lai, who was in the room, heard movement outside and opened her mouth slowly: "I'm here."

But her throat was too dry, and her voice didn't come out much.

Grandma Chi went to open the door: "Here."

Ke Zhongyu was holding a glass of warm water, handing it to Jiang Lai, who was sitting weakly on a pear wood chair.

Jiang Lai reached out to take it, their fingers touching briefly. She was so weak and soft all over that she felt nothing from this small touch.

Ke Zhongyu's fingers curled slightly.

Shen Xun stepped over the threshold and happened to see the scene of handing the water.

Jiang Lai was wearing a loose linen short-sleeved shirt and long pants, leaning weakly on the chair, her long hair wet and disheveled, her slender fingers pinching a blue and white porcelain cup.

A breeze blew the broken hair in front of Jiang Lai's forehead, the corners of her eyes were slightly red, and her gaze was cold, like a magnolia after the rain.

Ke Zhongyu was only wearing a white shirt, one hand in his suit pocket, and the other hand just handed the cup, still suspended in mid-air.

His temperament was noble, and his expression was indifferent.

When the two looked at him at the same time, they looked like a perfect match.

Shen Xun felt it was extremely dazzling, walked forward, blocked in front of Jiang Lai, and looked at Ke Zhongyu.

The corners of Ke Zhongyu's mouth curled up slightly with a cold mockery.

"Why didn't President Shen wait for Jiang Lai to drown in the hotel bathtub before coming?"

"Drowned?" Shen Xun quickly captured the point, turned his head to ask Jiang Lai, "What is going on? And why are you at the medical hall? And with..." another man?

He glanced at Ke Zhongyu.

"President Ke, Secretary Guan, and Doctor Chi sent me to the medical hall." Jiang Lai finished the water and moistened her throat, "I'll make a long story short. Shen Xi took the express delivery Dean Mom sent me, made an appointment to meet me at the executive lounge of the Ke Lin Hotel at ten tonight, made me drink wine with things in it, and then I was taken into the hotel room. Before that, I had already locked myself in the bathroom with my willpower and soaked myself in cold water."

Lin Shutong's fingers holding the bag tightened, and the leather bag was quickly pinched with five marks.

Jiang Lai explained too quickly.

Now it only depended on whether A-Xun believed his own sister or Jiang Lai.

"Are you saying Xiao Xi drugged you?" Shen Xun frowned, not really believing it. Xiao Xi often had bad ideas, but not to this extent.

"Is it possible that Xiao Xi didn't..."

Ke Zhongyu's cold laugh interrupted his explanation.

Lin Shutong lowered her eyes, curling her lips slightly.

She knew A-Xun wouldn't stand on Jiang Lai's side.

"Shen Xun." Jiang Lai's gaze at Shen Xun became colder and colder, "I told you the ins and outs of the matter, not because I want you to believe me; your trust is no longer important to me."

Shen Xun's gaze paused.

"I just want to tell you that I want to sue Shen Xi for intentional injury." Jiang Lai's eyes were firm.

Ke Zhongyu followed closely: "Ke Lin will also sue Miss Shen in the name of releasing dangerous substances to endanger public safety."

He glanced at Shen Xun sideways: "President Shen, see you in court."

Ke Zhongyu stepped out.

Chi Ce looked at the situation inside and immediately came up to ask: "President Ke, what is the relationship between this President Shen and Secretary Jiang?"

Ke Zhongyu said in a low voice: "Ex-husband."

Chi Ce was shocked.

Looking at Ke Zhongyu incredibly, you like this type?

Ke Zhongyu looked back at the situation in the room and instructed Chi Ce: "Don't let Shen Xun take her away."

At the same time, he handed Jiang Lai's phone to him.

"Why?"

Ke Zhongyu glared at him.

Chi Ce nodded immediately: "Understood."

Ke Zhongyu left with Secretary Guan. When getting in the car, Secretary Guan remembered one thing.

"President Ke, Secretary Jiang's box is still in the trunk, but it was soaked by water."

Ke Zhongyu said "Mm": "Give it to me."

In the medical hall.

Chi Ce walked in, watching Shen Xun trying his best to explain: "Could it be a misunderstanding?"

Lin Shutong also said: "Where would Xiao Xi have the guts? Jiang Lai, don't misunderstand Xiao Xi; Xiao Xi is A-Xun's sister."

"You are wrong." Jiang Lai looked up at Lin Shutong, "Shen Xi has this guts, and she has even greater guts, but Shen Xi doesn't necessarily have the brain to trick me into drinking wine with things in it."

"With her personality, she should have been impatient to make me drink when she saw me, instead of asking me what I thought of her diamond manicure, and then making me eat the snacks she left over. The third step was to make me drink."

And these two steps lowered her defense.

Because Shen Xi was usually a person accustomed to being bossy.

She didn't suspect that Shen Xi had other purposes, only feeling that she wanted to humiliate herself again in this way.

Lin Shutong's gaze stayed for a moment, and she smiled abruptly: "Why are you looking at me like that? You wouldn't think that framing Xiao Xi isn't enough, and you want to frame me too, right?"

"Jiang Lai, speaking requires evidence."

"How do you know there isn't any?" Jiang Lai said ambiguously.

Lin Shutong wasn't panicked in her heart; the medicine was bought by Shen Xi, and it was Shen Xi who added it, and she didn't believe Jiang Lai could really successfully sue Shen Xi.

How could Shen Xun allow such a thing to happen.

If she couldn't be sued, it would just be suspicion and confrontation. She had coaxed Shen Xi for so long, and Shen Xi wouldn't easily betray her.

"Then take it out, instead of slandering here."

"Enough." Shen Xun interrupted the conversation between the two, looked at Jiang Lai, and said, "Whether the things in the wine were added by Xiao Xi, I will go and ask her. But you, how do you feel now?"

He reached out to touch Jiang Lai's hand, surprised: "Why is it so cold?"

Jiang Lai pulled her hand away: "Don't get cold on you."

"Why would you think that?" Shen Xun frowned, forcibly holding her hand, "How was your medicine solved?"

"Grandma Chi gave me a medicinal bath and acupuncture."

"Was it solved only after coming here?" Shen Xun felt a thorn in his heart, "What about on the way? Ke Zhongyu sent you to the medical hall; did he do anything to you?"

Shen Xun didn't worry about her body, nor did he care that she had been wronged; he just felt that she had an affair with another man.

Jiang Lai refuted: "No. President Ke is a gentleman."

"A gentleman?" Shen Xun laughed angrily, "His Special Assistant Zhou is a well-known smiling fox. Can you tell me he is a gentleman if he can use such a person? Ke Zhongyu is a scheming and ruthless person; you say he is a gentleman?"

"Jiang Lai, do you even know who your husband is?"
