Chapter 2050: Almost Tricked by Her

~7 min read 1,359 words

Soon, Sui Xin found an opportunity and interjected: "I ran into a friend of Mobai's the other day, named Su Kexuan."

"Is that so?"

"Yes, watching the two of them bicker, it felt like their relationship was quite good."

"My second brother has a carefree personality, and he gets along quite well with his friends."

"But to me, he is..."

Sui Xin did not finish her sentence; she let out a heavy sigh.

Jiang Motian knew that Sui Xin wanted to be comforted.

Yet she did not say the words Sui Xin was expecting to hear, but instead asked a question: "What is it that you like about Mobai?"

Sui Xin was stunned for a moment.

Afterwards, she fell into memories: "He can always exude charm inadvertently, making it hard for people to extricate themselves."

"He is indeed very skilled at releasing his charm, otherwise he wouldn't attract so many women. However, it is very difficult to be the only one in his heart."

"But, some people can do it, so why can't I?"

"Some people?"

Jiang Motian looked at Sui Xin suspiciously.

Sui Xin blinked her eyes and asked uncertainly: "You... don't know?"

"What should I know?"

"Oh, that... I'd better not say. If Mobai knew I was talking about his secrets behind his back, he wouldn't be happy."

Sui Xin's one sentence was equivalent to lifting a corner of the secret.

Jiang Motian only needed to peek inside to glimpse the truth.

The temptation was quite large.

But Jiang Motian held back.

She smiled and agreed: "Secrets really shouldn't be spread around, especially my second brother's; he is very petty."

"Thank you for your understanding, Tiantian, you are truly so warm-hearted!"

As Sui Xin said this, she enthusiastically hugged Jiang Motian.

Don't look at how fortunate Sui Xin appeared on the surface.

In reality...

She was secretly gnashing her teeth!

According to her expectations, Jiang Motian would have asked out of curiosity.

Then Sui Xin could have told that matter.

Now, even if Sui Xin wanted to take the initiative to leak it, there was no suitable opportunity!

With her well-laid plan disrupted, Sui Xin began to resent Jiang Motian in her heart.

Jiang Motian, however, acted as if nothing had happened.

She even pointed to a stall in front and said: "The sugar-roasted chestnuts there are very delicious, I recommend you try them."

"Then I'll go buy some."

"Forget it, I'll go, and I'll bring a portion for Momo while I'm at it; you wait for me here for a moment."

"Okay."

Sui Xin watched with a smile as Jiang Motian trotted to the stall alone.

Then, her smile completely vanished.

This Jiang Motian looked very amiable.

But this amiability had a sense of distance.

It made one unable to pick out any faults, yet unable to feel any warmth...

Sui Xin had originally thought that Jiang Mobai was already difficult to deal with.

She hadn't expected that his family members would have more tricks up their sleeves than the last!

Actually, Sui Xin had initially wanted to coax Li Moning into taking her to learn a Self-defense Technique.

As it turned out, the little girl was very shrewd.

She kicked her over to Jiang Motian just like kicking a ball!

Jiang Motian... was even more ruthless, directly cutting off her hopes!

Fine, so no one is going to say anything.

Then she would find her own opportunity to make a move!

Jiang Mobai would be hers sooner or later!!

Sui Xin was making solemn vows on her side.

While Jiang Motian felt that she had taken on a hot potato.

Sigh!

Fortunately, Sui Xin didn't stir up any more trouble afterward.

The two of them went straight home.

Jiang Motian hadn't rested for long before she was picked up by Xie Wanyi.

The two had originally agreed to go see a movie.

It was a brain-burning movie.

But Jiang Motian's head hurt a little, so she changed her mind on the spot and wanted to go to a coffee shop to space out.

She was truly spacing out, resting her chin on her hand, turning her head to watch the people coming and going on the street.

Seeing that she lacked energy, Xie Wanyi asked, "Were you exhausted today?"

"Mm, very tired."

"Relax on your day off; don't keep thinking about work."

Seeing that Xie Wanyi had misunderstood, Jiang Motian shook her head.

Then she said, "Work only tires my body, but it doesn't leave me physically and mentally exhausted."

Xie Wanyi caught the subtext and asked, "Did something happen?"

"Mm, this morning, I went shopping with Sui Xin."

Hearing the name "Sui Xin," Xie Wanyi wanted to ask who that was.

But after a moment's reaction, he remembered that Jiang Motian had mentioned her before.

"Why, is she hard to get along with?"

"No, she is very enthusiastic and will give people hugs at the drop of a hat."

"But this enthusiasm is only on the surface, right?"

Xie Wanyi's words really hit the nail on the head!

Jiang Motian nodded frantically and said, "She always has an agenda when interacting with people; you have to be very careful not to be tricked by her."

"For people like that, try to have as little contact as possible. If you really can't avoid it, just move out for a while."

"That won't be necessary. I heard she is already looking for a place outside."

"She is looking for one herself?"

"No, Mobai is helping."

"He certainly is impatient."

"Yeah, he really dislikes Sui Xin and wishes she would move out tomorrow."

Speaking of this, Jiang Motian couldn't help but mutter, "Actually, Sui Xin is quite outstanding and should be very popular, so why would she lower herself to pursue my brother?"

"Because your brother has great charm."

"Even so, it shouldn't be enough to make a proud girl set aside her self-esteem."

"Then... do you suspect Sui Xin has ulterior motives?"

Jiang Motian shook her head gently and said, "I just find it strange. Perhaps there is some hidden story I don't know about."

"How about I help you look into her?"

"Mm... that works."

As soon as Jiang Motian finished speaking, her attention was drawn by a figure outside the window.

After staring for a few seconds, she raised an eyebrow and said, "Isn't that Mobai?"

The window here opens outward.

As long as Jiang Motian shouted with force, she could definitely attract Jiang Mobai's attention.

She did indeed want to do that.

But Xie Wanyi stopped her.

This left Jiang Motian puzzled: "What's wrong?"

"Your brother is tailing someone."

"Tailing someone?!"

"Let's wait and see for now; don't ruin his business."

Jiang Motian's heart skipped a beat...

On the other side—

Jiang Mobai was indeed tailing someone.

This person was precisely the middle-aged man who had attempted to take advantage of Su Kexuan that day.

The man had just finished eating and drinking his fill.

As he walked to the parking lot and prepared to get into his car, someone rushed over, grabbed him by the collar, and shoved him against the wall in the corner!

The man was startled and opened his mouth to shout.

But he saw a familiar face: "Mr., Mr. Li!?"

After a few seconds of recovery, the man corrected himself: "No, you are Mr. Jiang!"

Although Li Xingyan and Jiang Mobai were born of the same mother.

One was noble and cold, while the other was cynical.

The vast difference in their temperaments made it hard for people to confuse the two.

But just now, the look in Jiang Mobai's eyes while staring at the man was too much like Li Xingyan's, which was why the man had been confused.

While the man was still shaken, Jiang Mobai spoke: "I have a question for you."

"Go ahead."

"You know Su Kexuan, right?"

"Of course!"

"You seem to like her very much?"

"How is that possible? I am a married man! Did you, did you hear some rumors? Let me tell you, Su Kexuan has a bad reputation; whoever gets involved with her easily gets dragged into trouble!"
