Chapter 2087: Strike the Snake at the Seven-Inch Mark

"Heh, they didn't even listen to my proposal. Do I even have a chance to prove myself!? This time it wasn't my fault; it was Li Xingyan's fault, and it was your fault too!"

Uh...

Jiang Mobai, who had been dragged into this for no reason, felt very innocent.

But Sui Xin did not think so.

Her eyes were slowly turning red.

Her whole demeanor was one of extreme grievance: "Why do you have to step on me every time I see a glimmer of hope? Are you only happy if you destroy me!?"

Sui Xin shed tears as she spoke.

By the end, she was even wailing.

Because Sui Xin was shouting so loudly, people not far away were already looking over with curiosity.

And her performance made Jiang Mobai feel extremely repulsed.

He frowned and said to Sui Xin, "This is a public place, please be mindful."

"Why should I be mindful? Did I say something wrong?"

"At the very least, I didn't bully you! Alright, alright, stop crying. If people see this, they'll think I did something to you!"

Jiang Mobai wanted to make Sui Xin stop crying.

The result?

Upon hearing this, Sui Xin cried even louder.

Jiang Mobai was left feeling very irritated.

He decided that if he couldn't afford to provoke her, he could at least avoid her!

But just as Jiang Mobai moved his body, his hem was grabbed by Sui Xin.

Jiang Mobai pulled his hem back and asked with a frown, "What exactly are you trying to do!?"

"I just want a chance to present the honeymoon travel proposal in its entirety!"

There were still tear tracks on Sui Xin's face.

But her gaze was extremely firm.

It was as if she intended to pester him until the end of time if Jiang Mobai didn't agree.

Jiang Mobai was currently having trouble walking, so if Sui Xin was determined to pester him, it would be hard for him to get away.

And more importantly, the two of them pulling at each other here would be seen by others.

Jiang Mobai did not want to become fodder for gossip.

Nor did he want his reputation, which had only just begun to recover a little, to be ruined because of Sui Xin.

Therefore, Jiang Mobai kept himself calm and made a suggestion: "I will find my brother and ask him what is going on."

"It's not just about asking; you have to persuade Li Xingyan!"

"I can't guarantee that, but once I have news, I will notify you. Now, stop pestering me, or I will have someone throw you out!"

When Jiang Mobai said this, there was no warmth in his eyes.

And in this state, he was very much like Li Xingyan.

Sui Xin had no doubt that he would do what he said...

Hmph, these members of the Li Family, one and all, are so heartless!

Sui Xin muttered to herself in her heart, but she had no choice but to listen to Jiang Mobai and leave with a dark expression.

Her departure did not make Jiang Mobai feel any more relaxed.

He let out a breath and called Li Xingyan.

At this moment, Jiang Mobai was completely confused; he had to get to the bottom of the matter first.

But as soon as he mentioned Sui Xin's name, Li Xingyan's expression on the other end of the phone changed: "Sui Xin went to find you!?"

Wei Yangyang was eating with Li Xingyan.

Li Xingyan's words made Wei Yangyang's fingers tremble, and the chopsticks in her hand nearly fell to the ground.

After gripping them tightly, Wei Yangyang immediately stretched her neck, trying to hear the content on the other end of the phone more clearly.

Jiang Mobai looked miserable as he gave Li Xingyan a rough account of the situation on his end.

Then he asked, "So, is what Sui Xin said true?"

"Mm."

Li Xingyan responded, then thought of something: "You haven't been persuaded by that woman to try and convince me, have you?"

"How could that be? I'm just trying to understand the cause and effect."

"Actually, there's nothing to understand. I simply feel that this woman's character is poor, and I don't want to cooperate with her. Besides, I don't believe she could let go of everything in such a short time and work on a proposal for us without any hard feelings."

Mm...

Not to mention Li Xingyan, Jiang Mobai didn't really believe it either.

And he didn't want to be entangled with Sui Xin.

The current Sui Xin looked positive and upbeat, constantly claiming she wanted to start a new life.

But Jiang Mobai always felt that there was something strange about it all...

As Jiang Mobai was deep in thought, he heard Li Xingyan ask a question: "What do you plan to do next?"

"Just tell her that I'm powerless to help with what she asked of me."

"Then Sui Xin will definitely be unwilling to give up and will continue to harass you. So, do you have any way to fight back?"

This...

Jiang Mobai couldn't think of any reliable method right away.

Fortunately, Li Xingyan had an idea.

He said with a calm expression, "Leave the matter to me to handle."

"What are you going to do?"

"Don't worry about that; in any case, it will give you some peace and quiet."

After Li Xingyan finished speaking, he coolly hung up the phone.

Wei Yangyang had been pricking up her ears to listen.

Seeing Li Xingyan put down his phone, she hurriedly asked, "What exactly are you going to do?"

"Eat first."

"I'm already full, really, look, my belly is even round!"

As she spoke, Wei Yangyang stuck out her belly.

Her little belly was indeed slightly bulging.

It was hard to tell if it was because she was full, because she was pregnant, or perhaps... she had gained weight.

Of course, the last possibility was something that absolutely could not be said to Wei Yangyang.

Li Xingyan just gently raised his hand to stroke her little belly and said, "Since you're full, let's head back first."

"No, answer my question first!"

Wei Yangyang was very insistent.

Seeing this, Li Xingyan felt somewhat helpless: "Do you really want to hear it? You might not like my methods."

Methods she wouldn't like...

Wei Yangyang thought for a moment, then covered her lips, widened her eyes, and muttered: "Are you going to beat her up? Kidnap her? Or intimidate her?"

These associations made Wei Yangyang's heart race with fear.

It also made Li Xingyan feel even more helpless.

He tapped Wei Yangyang on the head and said, "I don't do illegal things."

"Since it's not illegal, then why are you worried about me knowing?"

As Wei Yangyang spoke, she gave Li Xingyan a reproachful look while smoothing her chest.

Li Xingyan, being blamed by her, explained: "It's not illegal, but it might not be moral."

"Sui Xin isn't moral either, so using poison to fight poison against her doesn't count for much. Hey, what exactly is your plan? Tell me quickly, I'm dying of curiosity!"

Wei Yangyang was truly curious; her expectant expression was like a cat waiting for a dried fish.

Li Xingyan reached out and pinched her cheek, finally speaking slowly: "Since Sui Xin is worried that her father will be disappointed in her, then I will make her worry a reality."

This is what they call hitting a snake at its seven-inch mark.

For Sui Xin, one must strike a fatal blow!

After hearing this, Wei Yangyang asked suspiciously: "Are you sure Sui Xin really cares about her father's opinion of her?"

"I have already had people investigate Sui Xin; her family situation is about the same as what she said herself. Also, Sui Xin's mother has placed great hopes on her, and is still looking forward to having this daughter help her win back her husband."

"Ah? Relying on her daughter to win back her husband? This mother... is too cowardly."

Li Beijue's expression darkened instantly; he stared coldly at Jiang Baobao, his voice sounding as if it were being squeezed through his teeth: "Say that again?"
