Chapter 2105: We Are Not Even Friends

~7 min read 1,386 words

Jiang Mobai was still not free.

But the small-sized cast made him feel much more relaxed in an instant.

His mood also improved a lot.

It was just that, as soon as he walked out of the Hospital, Jiang Mobai was targeted by someone.

The other party did not call out to Jiang Mobai, but instead quickened their pace to follow him.

The hurried footsteps caught Jiang Mobai's attention.

He turned his head and saw a middle-aged man standing steady with a face full of smiles.

The other party smiled and said, "Mr. Jiang?"

"I am. May I ask who you are..."

"I am Sui Xin's father."

Upon hearing the other party identify himself, Jiang Mobai immediately narrowed his eyes.

Sui Xin's father sensed Jiang Mobai's wariness.

He immediately made his expression serious and said, "I took the liberty of seeking you out today to apologize to you. After I divorced Sui Xin's mother, I neglected to look after Sui Xin, which is why she made a mistake and even harbored delusions of climbing the social ladder by latching onto Mr. Jiang."

That last sentence from Sui Xin's father was actually a form of probing.

Although he rationally believed that Jiang Mobai definitely did not like Sui Xin.

But what if there was a miracle?

As it turned out, the moment Jiang Mobai opened his mouth, he shattered that miracle: "Sui Xin did indeed cause us trouble; take that recent video for example—what if she had hurt someone else!?"

Jiang Mobai had a serious look on his face.

He did not care at all whether Sui Xin was injured or not.

Instead, he was concerned about the safety of others.

As for who this "other person" was... it went without saying.

This display by Jiang Mobai made Sui Xin's father recognize the reality.

He also gave up his fantasies and stated his stance to Jiang Mobai: "This child is indeed outrageously wrong, and I will definitely have a talk with her."

"Just a talk?"

"Of course not just that; Sui Xin will also come forward to clarify the whole matter so as not to cause trouble for Ms. Su!"

This proposal was not bad.

Jiang Mobai had also considered a similar method.

But it was only a thought, because he knew that Sui Xin would certainly not cooperate obediently.

Then, this time...

Jiang Mobai frowned slightly and asked, "Will Sui Xin listen to you?"

"Of course, I am her father; she listens to me the most. Besides, I have already arranged the time!"

Since Sui Xin's father had come to meet Jiang Mobai in person, he must have arranged everything in advance.

He had this confidence.

Then, what comes next...

Sui Xin's father rolled his eyes and asked with a smile, "After this is done, can we let this matter be wiped clean?"

Jiang Mobai did not answer immediately, but instead narrowed his eyes slightly.

Just this small action made Sui Xin's father feel the pressure!

He even subconsciously avoided Jiang Mobai's gaze.

Then he heard Jiang Mobai say, "Sui Xin does indeed need to seek forgiveness, but not my forgiveness."

"You are referring to..."

"Su Kexuan."

Hearing this name, Sui Xin's father actually relaxed.

He even straightened his body and said with full confidence, "Then you can rest assured; as for Ms. Su, I have already reached an agreement with her."

"You have been in contact with Su Kexuan?"

"Yes, we are about to become business partners; how could we let such a small matter delay our cooperation!"

Sui Xin's father felt he was very wise.

He had truly chosen correctly in selecting Su Kexuan as a partner!

But Jiang Mobai stood there stunned.

It took him a beat longer to figure everything out.

It had to be said that Su Kexuan was a smart person.

She solved the trouble in one move while also being able to make a big profit.

It was just that...

Why didn't she tell him about her plan?

It wasn't some earth-shattering secret.

Or could it be...

That in Su Kexuan's heart, his status was merely so-so.

Not even worthy of sharing a secret of this level?

The more Jiang Mobai thought about it, the more annoyed he became, and his expression grew increasingly cold and stern.

And his change in mood made Sui Xin's father gradually uneasy.

Before meeting Jiang Mobai, he had only thought that Jiang Mobai was a playboy.

It seems now...

This is also a person of unfathomable depth!

And through this contact, the father of Sui Xin became even more convinced that his daughter and this person were simply not on the same level.

Wanting to climb up to Jiang Mobai?

That is nothing but wishful thinking!

The father of Sui Xin prepared to find Sui Xin as soon as he returned, to supervise her and completely cut off her delusions.

Just as the father of Sui Xin was silently making his decision, he heard Jiang Mobai say: "As long as you manage your daughter well and cooperate properly with Su Kexuan, our Li Family will not pursue the matter."

The father of Sui Xin had been waiting for just these words!

He raised his head, his face full of smiles: "Rest assured, we will certainly be able to do it! Then, I won't disturb you any further, I wish you a speedy recovery!"

The father of Sui Xin said a few pleasantries, then left from in front of Jiang Mobai.

As for Jiang Mobai, his mood had originally been quite good.

But after chatting with the father of Sui Xin, his chest became stifled.

It felt as if a large Shitou was pressing down on it.

After hesitating for a moment, Jiang Mobai did not go straight home, but instead decided to go find Su Kexuan.

Because he had come on short notice and had no appointment, Jiang Mobai waited for a while before seeing Su Kexuan in the reception room.

Su Kexuan was in a hurry.

Walking up to Jiang Mobai, she got straight to the point: "You came to find me suddenly, is there something important?"

"It is very important to me, but to you... I am not sure, let's chat and see."

Jiang Mobai's description was somewhat strange.

Su Kexuan tilted her head slightly, looking him over.

When her gaze landed on Jiang Mobai's leg, Su Kexuan raised her eyebrows: "Changed the cast?"

"Mm."

"That means you have been recovering well during this time, congratulations."

"Thank you."

"Then let's talk now, what exactly is the matter you came to find me for."

Jiang Mobai had intended to chat with Su Kexuan calmly.

But when the words reached his lips, he became sarcastic: "Actually, I should apologize first; I was a hindrance before."

"Are you referring to... that matter with Sui Xin?"

"Mm."

"Sui Xin's family came to find you?"

Su Kexuan was very clever; she analyzed the truth from Jiang Mobai's strange attitude.

Jiang Mobai did not hide it either: "Yes, the father of Sui Xin came to find me and even said that you two will be cooperating."

When he said these words, his eyes were fixed straight on Su Kexuan.

And he hoped that Su Kexuan could offer some explanation.

But after hearing this, Su Kexuan only nodded, having no intention of discussing it in depth at all.

Since that was the case, Jiang Mobai had no choice but to continue being sarcastic: "You are very clever, turning the enemy of an enemy into a friend."

"Are you referring to the father and daughter of Sui Xin? They are blood relatives, not enemies."

"But as long as their interests conflict, sooner or later they will turn against each other."

"Interests... the interests you are referring to, could it be you?"

Jiang Mobai's expression had originally been very serious.

After hearing this, his brows twisted directly into a knot.

And his expression amused Su Kexuan.

"Su Kexuan, how do you still have the mood to joke around? Don't you think you should say something to me?!"

Jiang Mobai finally voiced the longing suppressed in the bottom of his heart.

However, before Su Kexuan could open her mouth, Jiang Mobai muttered to himself gloomily again: "What right do I have to ask you for an explanation? We... aren't even friends!"
