Chapter 2255: Being Played Like a Monkey by Her

~7 min read 1,310 words

Li Xingyan was accustomed to rational thinking; upon hearing this, his first thought was: "Is Su Kexuan with you because she was moved by your sacrifices?"

"No, she was moved by my persistence and decided to accept me again!"

"Sacrifice and persistence... aren't those the same thing?"

"Of course they're different!"

"How are they different?"

"The difference is..."

Jiang Mobai wanted to explain.

But his head throbbed faintly from the urgency.

Seeing the pained expression on Jiang Mobai's face, Li Xingyan said, "Forget it, I'll just assume the two are different."

Li Xingyan's behavior appeared to be a concession.

But it did not serve to settle the matter.

Jiang Mobai became even more anxious instead.

At this moment, Wei Yangyang spoke up helplessly: "What on earth are you two arguing about? Kexuan is clearly with Mobai because she likes him."

Wei Yangyang pointed out the key point.

Jiang Mobai immediately nodded in agreement: "That's right, exactly! Such a simple thing, and you still need your sister-in-law to enlighten you, you're so slow!"

Slow?

It was clearly he who had been speaking unclearly!

Li Xingyan gave a light huff and was about to retort.

But Wei Yangyang tugged gently on his sleeve, signaling him not to engage in a war of words.

Afterward, she smiled and said to Jiang Mobai: "In any case, congratulations to you, the lovers have finally tied the knot!"

These words were much more comforting.

After hearing this, Jiang Mobai said quite candidly: "Thank you."

"What lovers tying the knot?"

The one speaking was Jiang Motian, who had just entered the door.

She had rushed over from the Art Gallery, so she was a little late.

She had been burning with anxiety.

She hadn't expected to hear Wei Yangyang's congratulations the moment she walked in.

Seeing that Jiang Motian did not yet know the good news, Wei Yangyang smiled and recounted what had just happened.

Then she said: "Although some unpleasant things happened today, for Mobai and Kexuan, it's a good day!"

It was indeed a good day.

Jiang Mobai had finally cleared the clouds to see the moon!

Even with gauze wrapped around his head, it could not dampen his joy.

But Jiang Motian did not congratulate Jiang Mobai like Wei Yangyang had.

After pondering for a moment, she said: "I'm going to step out for a moment."

Having said that, Jiang Motian turned and walked out of the hospital room.

The remaining members of the Li Family looked at each other in dismay.

After a few seconds, Li Beijue muttered: "What's wrong with Tiantian?"

"Maybe she's silly with happiness."

"Happiness? Why do I feel like the expression on her face has nothing to do with happiness?"

"Hmm..."

The Li Family could not make sense of it.

But in reality, Jiang Motian just wanted to call Su Kexuan to confirm.

The call was answered quickly.

Jiang Motian said impatiently: "I'm worried that Mobai's brain was damaged in the crash and he's talking nonsense, so there are some things I want to ask you!"

"What do you want to ask?"

Jiang Motian took a deep breath and then spoke: "Are you two together?"

"Yes."

"You didn't agree to him on impulse because you were moved?"

"No, I just suddenly wanted to hold onto this man properly."

"Then what about your previous reservations?"

"They've become unimportant."

"Do you sincerely like Mobai?"

"Yes."

Finally hearing Su Kexuan admit her feelings from her own lips, Jiang Motian couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief.

But Su Kexuan didn't quite understand: "Why are you so cautious?"

"Because I had to be sure you were with Mobai because you like him, otherwise I couldn't give you my blessing, and also..."

Jiang Motian curled her lips into a smile: "I can finally call you Second Sister-in-law as I've wished!"

Uh...

Second Sister-in-law?

This form of address is truly strange.

Su Kexuan shivered uncomfortably.

Then she said, "There's no need to be so solemn."

"Yes there is, yes there is! You have no idea how long I've been looking forward to this day! Seeing the two of you reach a happy ending makes us extremely happy!"

Su Kexuan could feel Jiang Motian's happiness.

Even through the phone, unable to see Jiang Motian's face, Su Kexuan could imagine her eyes curving into smiles.

But as soon as she thought about the turmoil on the internet today...

Jiang Motian couldn't smile anymore.

She gripped her phone, her face showing worry: "What's going on with those messy rumors?"

"It was Song Yue teaming up with someone to smear me. I've already handled it, and Song Yue has been arrested, so don't worry."

"She's already been arrested? As expected of you, you're so decisive. Then, what about the person who teamed up with her?"

"That person is abroad and has already been detained by the police. The evidence I have is enough for a conviction."

"... Your actions are so swift that I don't even know where to begin with my comfort."

Su Kexuan smiled.

She said, "There's no need for comfort at all. With this time, you'd be better off thinking about how to hold the opening event for the art gallery."

The renovation of the art gallery is progressing smoothly.

It will likely be finished ahead of schedule.

But Su Kexuan didn't have any ideas yet on how to plan the activities for the opening day.

Su Kexuan didn't have any ideas, but Jiang Motian did!

She heard her say excitedly, "We can make use of the open space in front of the art gallery, and then..."

Jiang Motian talked on and on.

The topic of their conversation also shifted imperceptibly.

But after only a few sentences, Jiang Motian saw Jiang Baobao coming out to find her because she was worried.

Immediately, Jiang Motian said to the person on the other end of the phone, "Let's stop talking for now, I need to go see my brother."

"Okay."

"You should come see him often when you're free. I suspect he wishes he could turn into a pendant right now and stick to you at all times."

Su Kexuan couldn't help but curl her lips and joked, "Then this pendant of his is a bit heavy."

"It's not just heavy, he's also very good at acting spoiled. Hmm... I hope you can handle it in the future."

After saying this, Jiang Motian hung up the phone.

Su Kexuan put down her phone as well.

Then, she deepened the smile on her lips.

Inside a luxurious villa courtyard, a man was swimming in an outdoor pool.

The man had a tall build, smooth lines, and a relaxed swimming style.

He was like an elegant flying fish, constantly darting through the water.

Suddenly, the man noticed someone standing by the pool.

With a stroke of his arm, he emerged from the water.

Shaking the water from his hair, the man looked at the person by the pool with sharp eyes.

"Sir, the operation failed."

Upon hearing this, the man immediately narrowed his eyes and asked with a cold expression, "How could it fail?"

"Su Kexuan's subordinate did not betray her; instead, they teamed up with her to put on an act. All the scandals were fake."

"So, I was played for a fool by her?"

The subordinate didn't dare to respond.

But the man's summary was correct; their layout was just a joke.

The man's face was terrifyingly gloomy.

But suddenly, he started to laugh.

That shrill laughter made the subordinate's body tremble.

The next second, the subordinate heard the man say, "Since it failed, don't keep the people who shouldn't be kept, to avoid them tracing it back to me."

This was a simple order.

But the subordinate did not respond immediately.

Li Beijue's expression sank in an instant; he stood up abruptly and strode toward the outside.
