Chapter 1921: Using the Trump Card
Li Moning felt secretly annoyed.
Then she turned and sat on the edge of the bed, starting to complain: "That Sun Qing, she really is such a hypocritical person!"
Regarding this, Jiang Motian did not deny it.
"Was she like this when she was little?"
When she was little?
The memories were a bit blurry.
Jiang Motian thought for a moment before saying: "It seems I only met her once, and I have no impression left."
"I reckon she doesn't have much of an impression either, yet she acted so intimate; it really gives me goosebumps!"
As she spoke, Li Moning even shook her body.
Her expression of disgust was very obvious.
Then, Li Moning's eyes rolled, and she thought of something: "When we eat breakfast tomorrow, do we still have to run into that woman?"
"Yes."
"Then can I just leave?"
"No, after all, we are the hosts; we cannot be impolite. Allowing you to poke at her behind her back is already the limit."
Jiang Motian's words made Li Moning droop her shoulders in disappointment.
But soon, she cheered up again, lifted her chin, and said: "If anyone is going to be uncomfortable, it'll be her; I'll just eat my breakfast as usual!"
"That's the spirit; it's not like you're the one begging for favors."
Speaking of begging for favors...
Li Moning asked: "Sister, will you help her put in a good word in front of Big Brother?"
"How could that be possible? I'm not crazy."
"Phew, that's good then."
Seeing Li Moning look relieved, Jiang Motian smiled and said: "Not to mention whether I would help, just look at Big Brother; it is impossible for him to become friends with Sun Qing."
"But what Sun Qing wants seems to be more than just the status of a friend."
"That's why it's even more impossible."
Jiang Motian's words reminded Li Moning.
It also made her think of Big Brother's steel-straight-man behavior, and how many girls' hearts he had broken...
After finishing her recollection, Li Moning was completely unworried.
She even drew a conclusion: "I reckon Big Brother made Sun Qing cry precisely because he saw through her little schemes!"
"Not necessarily."
Huh?
Li Moning did not expect Jiang Motian to negate her, and immediately looked over in confusion.
Jiang Motian lit an aromatherapy candle and leaned over to smell it.
As the fragrance entered her nostrils, Jiang Motian felt her entire mood sink a little.
Then she opened her eyes and spoke: "Big Brother simply dislikes her; as for why he dislikes her, he is too lazy to analyze it."
This... makes sense!
Li Moning said excitedly: "Sister, how come you understand Big Brother so well?"
"It's because I'm helping to play matchmaker between him and Yangyang, so I definitely have to do a bit more analysis."
Speaking of those two... Li Moning asked curiously: "Then tell me, can those two make it?"
No, Jiang Motian did not want to say!
The state of mind she had just adjusted was now in a mess.
When she spoke, her brows furrowed slightly: "Don't bring this up right now, it's a headache."
Jiang Motian's pained expression spoke volumes.
Li Moning's eyes flashed, preparing to pry.
But before she could open her mouth, Jiang Motian pushed Li Moning toward the bathroom, urging her to take a shower.
Meanwhile, in another room not far away—
Sun Qing finally did not have to wear her hypocritical mask.
At this moment, she had an angry look on her face, complaining to the person on the other end of the phone.
In the gap while Sun Qing was speaking, the other person seized the opportunity to console her: "With their family background, it's normal for them to be overbearing."
"But I have already been humble enough, keeping a smiling face the whole time, what else do they want!?"
"Perhaps they don't like this approach; you should try a different method."
"I do need to change my method!"
Sun Qing's tone was low, and the light in her eyes revealed a hint of ruthlessness.
The person on the other end of the phone sensed something.
He asked uncertainly: "Are you planning to use that method?"
"Yes, use our trump card!"
"Although this method will be very effective, the risk is also very high."
"Other methods have low risk, but they have no effect either! I've had enough of being a clown; this time, it's my turn to hold my head high!"
Seeing that Sun Qing had made up her mind, the other person did not continue to persuade her, only promising: "Then we will act according to the previous plan; I will have people cooperate with you."
"Very good!"
After saying this, Sun Qing hung up the phone.
Thinking of the plan she and her friends had made, Sun Qing could not help but sneer.
She thought to herself, what was there for those two to be so arrogant about?
Once she married Li Xingyan and became their sister-in-law, she would have plenty of ways to torment them severely!
Wait a moment, marrying Li Xingyan...
Sun Qing blinked her eyes, unable to help but reveal a sweet and shy expression.
But soon, she began to feel melancholy again.
It was truly too difficult to gain Li Xingyan's favor.
However, Sun Qing would not give up.
That day would not be too far off either...
Inside the villa, it gradually grew quiet.
Regardless of their moods, everyone entered their dreams.
Perhaps because the suburbs were very quiet, Jiang Motian slept very soundly.
But for some reason, in her hazy state, she felt light and shadows flickering.
The feeling was too real, disturbing Jiang Motian so she could not sleep peacefully.
Her eyelids twitched, and she slowly opened her eyes.
Only to discover that there really was a bright light shining through the glass window onto the wall!
Before going to sleep, Li Moning had discovered that when the two of them lay down, they could see the moon perfectly.
Therefore, the two of them had not drawn the curtains.
But even so, this kind of light should not have appeared!
Jiang Motian felt something was wrong.
She stood up from the bed, then hid by the side of the window to peek down quietly.
Moonlight shone on the lawn downstairs, and Jiang Motian saw...
Several figures standing there sneakily!
Heavens...
Were they thieves!?
Those few people downstairs were truly not thieves.
The man in the lead raised his hand and punched the thinnest man.
He whispered a reprimand: "Idiot, who told you to turn the flashlight to high beam! Do you want everyone to know what you're here for!"
"Sorry, sorry, I—I'm using it for the first time, I remembered the button wrong!"
"And, is your brain filled with water? Why did you shine it at the window!?"
"I—I was just confirming which room they were sleeping in."
"I already told you it's the second one on the left at the top of the third-floor stairs! Get that into your head!"
Xiaoshouzi nodded repeatedly, then asked cautiously: "Should we go in now?"
"Wait for the signal before acting! Keep your mouth shut!"
Xiaoshouzi dared not speak again, and his mouth really did shut.
Meanwhile, Jiang Motian upstairs had already taken out her phone, preparing to call the police.
But... why was the phone out of power!?
Jiang Motian was anxious and prepared to go find Li Moning's phone.
Yet, in just this short moment, a knocking sound suddenly came from the door!
In the quiet, the knocking sound was exceptionally clear.
Jiang Motian's eyes widened, and her heart beat very fast.
"Tiantian, are you awake?"
This voice... was it Sun Qing?
Jiang Motian let out a light sigh of relief, then walked to the door and asked: "What's wrong?"
"I just got up in the night and discovered light flickering outside; it felt... like a thief! I'm so scared by myself, please let me in, okay?"
