Chapter 2148: One Should Be More Magnanimous

~7 min read 1,343 words

Jiang Mobai's statement was solemn and distant.

Yet it made Qingkong very uncomfortable.

Qingkong thought for a moment, then used his phone to send a message to Su Kexuan: Help me, I can't hold on anymore!

Su Kexuan saw the message and originally didn't want to pay it any mind.

But she couldn't help it as Qingkong kept winking and gesturing at her.

It was as if he were terrified that others wouldn't know he was giving her a hint.

Su Kexuan sighed helplessly.

Then, somewhat reluctantly, she spoke to Jiang Mobai: "When you have time, do an interview with Qingkong."

Jiang Mobai remained in his formal, proper manner.

His tone of voice was also steady and composed: "I've been quite busy lately, I'm afraid I can't spare the time."

Busy?

Jiang Baobao truly couldn't listen to this anymore.

She opened her mouth and spoke the truth: "What are you busy with? You're about to grow mushrooms from boredom at home!"

"Mom!"

"I'm asking you, what's wrong with you child? Before we arrived, you were all smiles, so why have you become so serious sitting here? Could it be that you really have an image to maintain?"

"That's not it!"

"Then what is it?"

Jiang Mobai furrowed his brows, struggling to find a reason.

But before he could think of a reason, he heard Qingkong let out a heavy sigh.

After gaining everyone's attention, Qingkong explained gloomily: "I think it should be my fault."

"Your fault?"

"Yes, everyone should know about the trouble that pair of grandparents and grandchildren caused a while ago."

The group certainly knew.

Especially Li Xingyan, who had originally intended to step in and help.

As it turned out, the matter ended very suddenly.

As for the reason it ended, it was because Qingkong held the key evidence.

Now the problem lay with this evidence.

Qingkong sighed: "It's a coincidence, really. I accidentally discovered that the video of me talking to the female model could be used to strike back at that pair of grandparents and grandchildren. This was originally a good thing, but Mobai feels... that I released the video too late."

Jiang Mobai felt this was wrong and immediately denied it: "You didn't discover it too late, you discovered it too early!"

After saying this, Jiang Mobai turned his head to the side.

Qingkong hurriedly explained: "I really didn't hold it back from telling you!"

"Then why don't you hand over the camera and let us look at your browsing history!"

Um...

Qingkong could indeed hand it over.

But if he did, Qingkong would be exposed!

The two of them would also be ruined!

The rest of the act wouldn't be able to go on!

But since he was already put on the spot, Qingkong could only bite the bullet and say: "Of course I can!"

"Hmph, I can't even be bothered to look!"

Jiang Mobai made a feint.

Others watching felt he was being very willful.

Li Beijue frowned and criticized: "Mobai, don't be willful. Sometimes for the sake of the big picture, one must be flexible."

"I know, but that doesn't stop me from minding it at all!"

"If you mind it, it only shows you are too narrow-minded."

Li Beijue didn't criticize Jiang Mobai any less on ordinary days.

Jiang Mobai usually let it go in one ear and out the other.

But not now.

Su Kexuan was still here!

Jiang Mobai hurriedly looked at his father, hoping his father would leave him some face and say less.

Li Beijue did grant Jiang Mobai's wish.

He didn't say anything else, only using four words to summarize: "Be more magnanimous."

After hearing this, Jiang Mobai pressed his lips together tightly, his fingers gripping the cup turning slightly white from the force.

Su Kexuan noticed his small movement.

She also knew he was feeling bad inside.

She originally didn't want to meddle in other people's business.

But seeing Jiang Baobao's expression, wanting to persuade him but not knowing how to start...

Su Kexuan still spoke up: "Back then, I worked hard with Jiang Mobai to find evidence. Now that the evidence has come so easily, it's normal to find it hard to accept."

Jiang Baobao immediately realized that Su Kexuan was intentionally trying to guide Jiang Mobai.

This made Jiang Baobao feel both excited and relieved inside.

Because she was in a good mood, her tone was also filled with a bit of joy when she spoke: "I see your attitude is very calm; has your mindset adjusted?"

"Yes."

"Then how do you adjust? Hurry and share some experience with our Mobai!"

"Just think more about the result and don't worry about the process."

Su Kexuan was giving both sides a way out to end this topic.

Jiang Mobai, however, thought of something because of this.

He stared straight at Su Kexuan and asked, "How do you account for a sincere heart that has been betrayed?"

A sincere heart?

Whose sincere heart?

Jiang Mobai's?

A trace of a smile appeared on the corner of Su Kexuan's mouth.

Then she said, "Some things cannot be calculated clearly, and there is no need to be persistent."

"Then what if one must be persistent?"

"Then that is a mediocre person disturbing themselves, looking for trouble."

"It's not like that..."

Seeing that Jiang Mobai's emotions were gradually becoming agitated and he was about to say something that would embarrass both sides, Qingkong hurriedly stepped on his foot.

Jiang Mobai's injury had healed quite a bit.

But being stepped on still hurt a lot.

At that moment, Jiang Mobai couldn't even speak.

Yet the culprit acted as if nothing had happened, smiling and saying to the others, "Don't talk about such serious topics, eat the food first!"

Everyone echoed Qingkong.

Except for Jiang Mobai, whose foot had been stepped on by him.

Jiang Mobai didn't make a sound either; after eating for a while, he went to the terrace alone.

In the restaurant, there was a large terrace planted with flowers and grass.

Looking from above, this terrace looked like a beautiful blanket of flowers and grass, romantic and soft.

Looking from below, its shape was like a straw hat, which was very distinctive.

At this moment, Jiang Mobai was standing on the edge, looking down at the people coming and going below.

Before long, footsteps sounded behind Jiang Mobai.

Xie Wanyi walked to Jiang Mobai's side and asked, "Are you alright?"

"I'm fine, why wouldn't I be?"

Jiang Mobai was just being stubborn.

Xie Wanyi smiled and didn't expose him, turning instead to talk about business: "There are clues to the things you asked me to investigate."

For Jiang Mobai to sort out the clues, he still needed a professional to do it.

And this professional was naturally none other than Xie Wanyi.

Xie Wanyi did not disappoint, finding some key points from the complex information.

He wrote these key points on a piece of paper and handed it to Jiang Mobai.

Jiang Mobai was no longer depressed.

He hurriedly took it, and while looking at it, said, "Thank you so much! Now I have a goal!"

"As long as it's useful to you. However, while investigating, I discovered something very interesting."

"What?"

"Besides me, someone else is also investigating Su Kexuan's past."

Jiang Mobai's movements paused.

The next second, he made a guess: "Could it be Qingkong? That guy looks serious, but he's a gossip fanatic!"

Jiang Mobai's description made Xie Wanyi laugh.

Xie Wanyi said with a smile, "Although he has a gossiping heart, you have to see if he has the means."

Qingkong's means...

He has some skills when it comes to taking photos, but he's really no good at investigating.

Otherwise, with that gossiping heart combined with those means, he would have turned the world upside down long ago!

But if it's not Qingkong, then who could it be?

Jiang Mobai fell into deep thought.

Xie Wanyi then provided a very useful clue: "I saw that the investigation method is very similar to the aunt's."
