Chapter 1687: Good News and Bad News

Jiang Motian really wanted to refuse.

But looking at her own leg, which was still being held by someone...

Jiang Motian could only nod: "Fine, go ahead and speak."

"My boyfriend and I have known each other since we were small, and we've been through low points together; you could say we've shared trials and tribulations. I thought we would walk hand in hand for a lifetime. But in reality... he only cares about my money!"

As the woman spoke, she covered her face and began to sob, "Wuu wuu."

Jiang Motian, however, had no reaction to these tears.

She felt no empathy either, simply asking: "How much money did the person who sent you give you?"

The woman's sobbing weakened significantly in an instant.

She raised her head and asked with a puzzled expression: "What do you mean by what you just said?"

Jiang Motian couldn't be bothered to beat around the bush anymore.

She checked the time and added: "Isn't the whole reason you put on this act to make me wary of Xiaoshi?"

"I, I don't even know who you're talking about."

"Alright, there's no point in acting anymore; it just makes you look stupid and me too."

Jiang Motian's words truly left the woman opposite her unable to continue.

And Jiang Motian didn't care about the other party's response, only saying: "Tell my brother to stop playing these tricks, it's too boring!"

After Jiang Motian finished speaking, she walked away from the woman.

The woman stood where she was, stunned for a moment, before walking toward a car.

Inside the car sat a young man.

He had just seen everything that happened.

But because of the distance, he hadn't heard the content of the conversation.

Seeing the woman approach, he hurriedly asked: "How did it go?"

"... One piece of good news and one piece of bad news."

"What do you mean?"

"The bad news is, Miss Jiang saw through my act."

"And the good news?"

"She... thinks it was her brother who arranged for someone to do it."

Xiaolin was speechless.

He looked back at Xie Wanyi, who was sitting in the back row, and tentatively asked: "Boss, does this count as a success or a failure?"

"Naturally, it is a failure."

No joy or anger could be seen on Xie Wanyi's face.

He said "thank you for your hard work" to the woman, gave her a sum of money, and told her to go rest.

As for Xiaolin, he refused to admit defeat and said: "If one plan doesn't work, we can come up with another!"

"What plan do you have?"

"Well, the goal is just to drive someone away, right? Let's just beat him up and scare that man until he wets his pants; let's see if he leaves then!"

Xie Wanyi had also considered intimidation.

But through his understanding of Xiaoshi, he discovered that any bullying toward Xiaoshi would only become a reason for him to play the victim.

And then, the entanglement with Jiang Motian would only deepen.

So at this moment, he didn't hesitate to reject his subordinate's suggestion: "No."

Xiaolin didn't understand why his boss would reject him.

But then he thought of another way!

"Boss, why don't you pursue Miss Jiang? As long as you become her boyfriend, you can openly and legitimately drive Xiaoshi away!"

After Xiaolin finished speaking, he felt his idea was brilliant!

It was simply killing two birds with one stone!

Although his boss wouldn't say it, Xiaolin could feel that his boss felt differently about Jiang Motian.

If he took this opportunity to win the beauty's heart...

Then his boss would surely think that he...

Just as Xiaolin was feeling good about himself, he noticed Xie Wanyi staring at him gloomily.

Xiaolin was particularly afraid of Xie Wanyi looking at people like that.

He always felt that he was about to strike someone down when they least expected it!

Xiaolin swallowed his saliva and didn't dare to continue speaking.

He even pretended to look out the car window, attempting to ease the awkwardness.

But just as he was pretending...

"Huh, isn't that Miss Xu?"

Xie Wanyi looked over and indeed saw Xu Nianxin.

But at this moment, the appearance of this woman... could not be as simple as a coincidence!

This was indeed not a coincidence.

Xu Nianxin had been waiting for Xie Wanyi to provide a result.

But where was the result?

Gradually becoming disappointed, Xu Nianxin decided to take the initiative.

She kept watch outside Jiang Motian's Art Studio, and as soon as Jiang Motian left alone, she secretly followed.

Now, she followed Jiang Motian into an art supply store.

Taking advantage of Jiang Motian being completely off guard, Xu Nianxin walked over aggressively.

She blocked her with her body, then crossed her arms and commanded, "Jiang Motian, apologize!"

The moment Jiang Motian saw Xu Nianxin, her brows furrowed.

She thought to herself, what is wrong with today, why do I keep running into inexplicable people!

She had no intention of paying attention to Xu Nianxin and prepared to walk around her.

But Xu Nianxin did not want to let Jiang Motian go!

She blocked Jiang Motian again and scolded her unceremoniously, "Didn't you hear what I said? Apologize!"

Jiang Motian was not led by the nose by the other party's words.

Instead, she retorted, "What good does it do you to provoke me?"

With just this sentence, Jiang Motian shifted from being passive to being in control.

The content of their conversation was also seized by Jiang Motian.

Xu Nianxin still didn't feel there was any problem.

She said arrogantly, "The good is... I can beat you up fair and square! Today, there's no knight-errant by your side, right?"

Xu Nianxin had figured it out: rather than relying on others, it's better to rely on herself!

Today, she was going to use her palms to beat this woman into a pig's head!

And ruin her reputation!!

Let's see how she has the nerve to go out in the future!!!

The more Xu Nianxin thought about it, the more satisfied she felt.

But Jiang Motian saw something in her excited eyes.

Yet, Jiang Motian, who saw through everything, was not the least bit flustered.

Instead, she chuckled lightly and said with complete indifference, "The methods you can think of have already been used on me by others."

As her voice fell, Jiang Motian suddenly reached out and grabbed Xu Nianxin's hair!

This was striking first to gain the advantage!

And the slow-reacting Xu Nianxin had no defense at all.

She cried out in pain and tilted her head back. Her hands flailed wildly, wanting to fight back.

But Jiang Motian kept a certain distance from her, and Xu Nianxin couldn't reach her at all.

Jiang Motian even chatted calmly, "I don't have a knight-errant by my side, but do you think there might be bodyguards?"

Bodyguards...

Xu Nianxin had overlooked this point!

Her clawing and scratching also came to a halt.

But Jiang Motian did not let go.

She continued to warn the other party, "You're sharp-tongued now and want to take advantage, but once we separate, you'll be in for it!"

"Y-you, don't be too arrogant, my boyfriend will protect me!"

Xu Nianxin said this purely to save face for herself.

But Jiang Motian was momentarily dazed upon hearing this.

And it was this very moment of distraction that allowed Xu Nianxin to seize the opportunity, raise her hand, and slap Jiang Motian!

Slap—

This crisp sound made Xu Nianxin feel extremely satisfied!

And with her impulses running high, how could she care about any consequences?

Beat her up first and vent her anger, that's all that mattered!

The excited Xu Nianxin swung her bag and smashed it hard toward Jiang Motian's head!

But...

Someone grabbed the strap of the bag, snatched it away with a backhand motion, and threw it to Xu Nianxin's feet.

Xu Nianxin originally wanted to angrily scold the person for meddling.

However, upon seeing the person's face, she immediately put on a weak expression.

She even whined and complained, "Wanyi, this woman is bullying me!"
