Chapter 1383: The Truth Discovered by Her

~7 min read 1,324 words

Liu Qingze's lips moved, but he did not call out to his sister.

He saw the confusion in his sister.

That confusion made Liu Qingze unable to bear calling out to his sister to argue and determine a winner.

And besides... how could Liu Qingze not be worried?

He had guarded against everything, only to find in the end that his efforts were all for nothing!

Sigh!

Liu Qingze irritably rubbed his hair, feeling completely agitated.

But to avoid affecting his sister, Liu Qingze prepared to stop bringing up these unpleasant matters.

He even sent a message to Jiang Chenghao, telling him that his sister would be going to the Laboratory tomorrow.

After sending the message, Liu Qingze returned to his room with a sullen expression.

He prepared to numb himself with work.

And Jiang Chenghao, having received the message, began to form a different plan in his heart.

The next day—

Jiang Chenghao timed it perfectly and once again had someone deliver things to Liu Xin'ai and the others at the Laboratory.

This time, he sent some coffee and desserts.

Everyone in the Laboratory had a portion, and the packaging was very exquisite.

Jiang Chenghao waited downstairs, preparing to go up and make an appearance once everyone had finished eating.

However...

Jiang Chenghao suddenly spotted a figure appearing beside his car.

The other person even knocked on the car window, signaling for Jiang Chenghao to get out.

Jiang Chenghao couldn't be bothered to pay attention.

The other person increased the force of the knocking, clearly intending to keep knocking until Jiang Chenghao got out.

This made Jiang Chenghao frown.

In the end, he still stepped out of the car.

And impatiently questioned: "What do you want!?"

Qin Yiyan crossed his arms and asked back in a flat tone: "I should be the one asking what you want. Honestly, your fawning is useless; Xin'ai won't spare you a second glance."

"I only want to help Xin'ai; I'm not as narrow-minded as you think!"

"I'm narrow-minded? Then what do you call plotting against Xiao'an? Sinister?"

Jiang Chenghao did not expect Qin Yiyan to find out about him so quickly, and for a moment, he did not speak.

And his silence made Qin Yiyan sneer: "Don't think that avoidance can solve the problem. I have already investigated; that master who incited Xiao'an's family was arranged by you. Tell me, what is your purpose in making Xiao'an get married as soon as possible?"

"What could I be doing? Just facilitating a marriage."

"Heh, would you be that kind-hearted?"

Qin Yiyan's tone carried mockery.

And a sense of superiority.

Jiang Chenghao hated this attitude, and he decided to seize back the initiative.

He questioned: "Stop always talking about me; let's talk about you too. What is your purpose in planting that little maid by Xin'ai's side?"

"My purpose is naturally to let her take good care of Xin'ai."

"Wrong, you are monitoring Xin'ai, and taking advantage of Xin'ai's innocence and lack of defenses to have that maid help you craft a devoted image! The way you've exhausted all your schemes is truly disgusting!"

Jiang Chenghao was enraged.

He opened his mouth and blurted out the accusations that had been suppressed in his heart for a long time.

Qin Yiyan, however, was not emotionally affected.

He said very calmly: "Xiao'an sincerely wants to take care of Xin'ai; her kindness and concern for Xin'ai come entirely from her own will. And also..."

Qin Yiyan paused for a moment and asked back with a smile: "Does my devotion need to be crafted? It is reflected in every moment."

This unperturbed confidence made Jiang Chenghao slowly clench his fists.

And Qin Yiyan continued to provoke him: "It's you who should think about how to explain your actions to Xin'ai."

At this moment, Jiang Chenghao suddenly felt it was very unfair!

He had been walking on eggshells to be good to Liu Xin'ai.

Terrified that he would make her feel pressured.

Yet such kindness, in the face of Qin Yiyan's shamelessness, was crushed until not even dregs remained!

Only this one time, he had harbored crooked thoughts, yet he was caught red-handed.

It really is...

So frustrating!!

Jiang Chenghao's palms had already turned white from clenching.

A moment later, he slowly raised his head.

Still allowing the darkness in his heart to dominate, he opened his mouth and said: "If you were truly good to Xin'ai, you wouldn't tell her about this matter."

These words made Qin Yiyan feel very surprised.

Raising an eyebrow, he asked: "Are you trying to use moral blackmail?"

"No, you can choose for yourself."

"He doesn't need to choose; I already know!"

A crisp voice came from behind Jiang Chenghao.

It made him feel a chill all over!

Jiang Chenghao turned around in disbelief...

And saw Liu Xin'ai standing not far behind him, holding a box in her hands!

In that instant, Jiang Chenghao panicked.

But the next second, he glared at Qin Yiyan and coldly questioned, "Did you plan all of this?!"

Before Qin Yiyan could speak, Liu Xin'ai said first, "This has nothing to do with Yiyan. The lock on the box containing the documents wouldn't open, so I went to find a master to help fix it, but I didn't expect..."

Liu Xin'ai felt that Jiang Chenghao was very much a stranger at this moment.

Especially when she thought about how he had just tried to emotionally blackmail Qin Yiyan, anger gradually rose from the bottom of Liu Xin'ai's heart.

And her indignation was clearly conveyed through her expression!

This made Jiang Chenghao feel uneasy.

Yet there was still hope in his heart, and he asked cautiously, "Did you hear everything just now?"

"Yes, I heard it clearly, and you don't need to sugarcoat it anymore."

At this, all of Jiang Chenghao's expectations fell through!

He was completely dejected.

Seeing Jiang Chenghao like this, Liu Xin'ai felt a bit unable to bear it.

But as soon as she thought of what happened to Xiao'an...

Liu Xin'ai frowned and questioned, "Xiao'an didn't provoke you either, why did you have to target her like that!"

"She didn't provoke me, but she cooperated with Qin Yiyan to bewitch you!"

Jiang Chenghao still felt that he had done nothing wrong.

When dealing with people with crooked intentions, one should use the same methods to deal with them!

But Liu Xin'ai could not approve of such actions.

She also saw that Jiang Chenghao had no remorse at all.

In order to make Jiang Chenghao realize how outrageous his mistakes were, Liu Xin'ai told him loudly:

"What she says is her freedom, and whether or not I listen is something I can choose for myself! How can you scheme against a young woman for this reason? If she were to marry someone she doesn't like, her life would be ruined!!"

Liu Xin'ai's words caused a sharp pain in Qin Yiyan's heart.

And Jiang Chenghao also thought of something, which made him reveal a half-smile as he asked, "That's right, her life would be ruined, but what about yours?"

"What about mine?"

"You..."

"Jiang Chenghao!"

Before Jiang Chenghao could finish his sentence, Qin Yiyan suddenly roared.

The voice was very low and deep, like a muffled clap of thunder, exploding in Liu Xin'ai's ears.

Liu Xin'ai only felt her heartbeat quicken, and she couldn't help but cover her chest with her small hand.

Jiang Chenghao stared at Qin Yiyan expressionlessly and retorted, "What, feeling guilty?"

Yes, Qin Yiyan was feeling guilty.

He was very worried that Jiang Chenghao would act on impulse and blurt out facts she couldn't accept while Liu Xin'ai was unprepared.

That was why he stopped him.

In order to make Jiang Chenghao give up this dangerous idea, he also warned Jiang Chenghao, "Isn't what you are doing also hurting Xin'ai!?"

Li Beijue's expression turned extremely grim in an instant; he stood up abruptly and strode toward the door.
