Chapter 222 - ulterior motives
"Impressed?" The corners of Jiang Xinlan's mouth rose slightly, "She is my enemy." β
"Do you think I'll let you go if you lie to me?" Lin Xia took out the knife in her hand, since she couldn't kill Pei Ran, then kill her friend, she just wanted Pei Ran to live in pain in the future.
As soon as her hand moved, the knife cut a hole in Jiang Xinlan's body, watching the blood slowly come out, Lin Xia had a sense of revenge, and the anger she received in Pei Ran today was going to be taken back on Jiang Xinlan.
The corners of Jiang Xinlan's mouth twitched, and she looked at her and said word by word: "Instead of dealing with me, you might as well choose to cooperate with me, I didn't lie to you, Pei Ran is also my enemy, because she robbed my fiancΓ©." β
She bit down on the last few words.
Lin Xia looked at her in surprise, "She robbed your fiancΓ©?" Do you want to tell me that your fiancΓ© is also Yan Zhuolang? β
"It's him!" Jiang Xinlan gritted her teeth and said, "Even if Pei Ran helped me at the beginning, this alone is unforgivable......
Before she finished speaking, she heard hurried footsteps outside, Jiang Xinlan didn't have anyone to rely on here, she had to find an alliance, in order to show her determination, she said to Lin Xia: "If you believe me, leave here first, Lin Xia, if it weren't for knowing that you hate Pei Ran, do you think you can catch me so easily?" If you're caught by their men now, there's no more chance of revenge. β
Lin Xia has now been cornered, she has to believe Jiang Xinlan for the time being, and said before leaving: "I will look for you in the future." β
"Always welcome." Jiang Xinlan's voice was quiet, "Even if you don't look for me, I will look for you." β
After making sure that she was not lying, Lin Xia hurriedly left here.
Yan family!
After Yan Zhuolang heard Uncle Yu's words, he immediately sent someone to find Pei Ran's whereabouts, his eyelids had been beating for the past few days, and an ominous premonition had been haunting him.
Seeing Pei Ran return safely, his hanging heart was slightly lowered, and he walked to her side, his brows furrowed slightly, "What happened?" β
"It's not ...... yet"
"It's fine!" Pei Ran didn't want him to worry about him anymore, and interrupted Pei Xuan's words, "Tomorrow is the day of our engagement, we must take care of our spirits, otherwise the panda eyes will be ugly tomorrow." β
Pei Xuan stood there with a displeased face, pretending to be angry and returned to her room, she couldn't understand that Lin Xia had done this to Pei Ran, why did Pei Ran hide it for her, since Pei Ran couldn't do it, she didn't mind doing it for her, last time she could come up with a way to deal with Sima Yi, and this time she could also come up with a way to make Lin Xia die without a place to be buried.
She didn't say anything, Yan Zhuolang didn't ask, after sending Pei Ran to rest, he came out, and saw Jin Yao waiting for him here, he said coldly: "What the hell is going on?" β
"Lang Lang, you have asked me to be so arrogant!" Jin Yao glanced at him, "You dare to treat me like this, you can be gentle with your woman." β
"What the hell is going on?" Yan Zhuolang repeated, as long as he had a little relationship with Pei Ran, he had no way to calm his heart.
"Lin Xia kidnapped Jiang Xinlan, Pei Ran went to save her, and was pushed into the river by Lin Xia." He omitted the clip of doing artificial respiration for Pei Ran, if Yan Zhuolang knew that there was still this scene, he had to kill him, he didn't want to be bored.
Yan Zhuolang slammed his hand on the table, he wanted to do it to Lin Xia before, but Pei Ran missed the old relationship, and they were reluctant to make extraneous branches when their marriage was approaching, but he didn't expect Lin Xia to change his life, and he dared to do it to Pei Ran, he must make Lin Xia's life worse than death.
"Have you found her current location?" Yan Zhuolang said sharply.
"No, the assistant called and said that Jiang Xinlan was only found in a dilapidated house, and as for Lin Xia, she had long since disappeared."
"I see!" Last time in the hotel, Jiang Xinlan had the intention of adding fuel to the fire, and being kidnapped this time has to make people suspect that she has ulterior motives.
In the middle of the night, Jin Yao asked Jiang Xinlan to send her back, Jiang Xinlan had traces of being whipped all over her body, and there were slight scars on her face.
"How did you get kidnapped by Lin Xia?" Yan Zhuolang asked sharply, his cold gaze as if he was about to freeze her.
Jiang Xinlan looked at him with her spare eyes, shook her head incessantly, and her voice trembled, "I don't know how I ended up in the little black room, it was a man who saved me." β
"Tomorrow is the day of the engagement, I don't want to make a fuss, if someone wants to deliberately ruin the wedding, I will definitely get rid of this person." There was an added threat to the words.
Obviously, she should be Mrs. Yan, and Pei Ran is just a dove occupying the magpie's nest and occupying her position, but now she has to bear the blame she shouldn't have, the humiliation and unwillingness in her heart all come to her heart, and the most hated thing is that Pei Ran robbed Yan Zhuolang, the man who is like a god.
Isn't tomorrow your engagement feast? I want to see how you successfully complete the engagement, Pei Ran this time, Lin Xia did not kill you, it does not mean that you will live safely, see who can laugh at the end.
β¦β¦
Pei Ran was wearing a wedding dress with delicate makeup painted on her face, anyone who saw it would not be able to take their eyes off, Jiang Xinlan was watching Pei Ran who was smiling from the side, and the hatred in her heart was also increasing, today, she not only wanted to ruin Pei Ran's reputation, but also to take back everything that belonged to her.
Pei Xuan took in her look, thinking that she was frightened by yesterday's kidnapping, and walked up to her and whispered, "Xinlan, are you okay?" β
Jiang Xinlan retracted her thoughts and shook her head, "I'm fine." β
Yan Zhuolang asked her to stare at Jiang Xinlan, but Jiang Xinlan has been staying honestly these days, and has not made any movements, hearing her say this, she didn't take it to heart, walked to Pei Ran's side, and said with a smile: "Sister, you are so beautiful, only you are qualified to stand with your brother-in-law." β
Jiang Xinlan glanced at Pei Ran lightly, and a sneer crossed the corner of her mouth, even if Pei Ran had a life-saving grace for her, it was unforgivable to rob her fiancΓ©.
Pei Ran noticed her gaze, smiled faintly at her, and saw that she hadn't changed her clothes yet, and said to Pei Xuan: "Go and bring the bridesmaid dress to Xinlan." β
Bridesmaid dresses?
These three words are the most sarcastic words Jiang Xinlan has heard, she is the bride-to-be, let her wear a bridesmaid dress, why?
She forcibly suppressed the anger in her heart, stopped Pei Xuan and said, "No need, I have injuries on my body, and it's better that I won't attend today's engagement banquet." β
Pei Ran and Pei Xuan glanced at each other, the scar on Jiang Xinlan's face had just scabbed, although it had been repaired with hard work, it was still clearly visible, if she appeared in front of everyone like this, all she could get was ridicule, Pei Ran took her hand and said apologetically: "It's me who has bothered you, don't worry, after the engagement banquet is over, I will definitely invite the best doctor to treat you." β
"Thank you!" Jiang Xinlan bit down on these two words, and said in a slightly calmer voice, "You guys go get busy, don't worry about me!" β
After the engagement banquet began, Jiang Xinlan stood backstage and watched Pei Ran slowly walk to the catwalk, how beautiful Pei Ran is now, how embarrassing Pei Ran will be in a while, she just wants to see what it is like for Pei Ran to fall from the highest place.
Gu Zihua walked up to her and saw that her face was not quite right, her face was still like a ruffian, but there was more concern in her words, "The engagement banquet has begun, aren't you going to join in the fun?" β
"Huh? I'll be there right away! Jiang Xinlan looked a little panicked, avoided Gu Zihua's expression, and walked towards the banquet.
Gu Zihua was dragged by Yan Zhuolang, staring at Jiang Xinlan here, he had long seen that Jiang Xinlan's expression was wrong, and now he saw her hurriedly avoiding his gaze, and said to the bodyguard: "Keep an eye on her for me, don't let her have any trouble, understand?" β
Jiang Xinlan walked to the catwalk step by step in everyone's congratulations to Yan Pei and the others, today should have been her happy day, but the person standing on it was Pei Ran, today Pei Ran is already beautiful enough, her patience has reached the limit, she is anxious but desperate, in the eyes of everyone, today see how she debunks Pei Ran's true face and makes her ruined.
Pei Xuan was busy working in the background, and when she heard someone talking about Jiang Xinlan, she hurriedly ran to the front, and saw Jiang Xinlan walking forward calmly, and was about to go up to ask for clarification, but was stopped by a strange man, and he said politely: "Beautiful young lady, can you give me your phone?" β
"To your sister, you hurry up and get out of the way for me!" Pei Xuan wanted to push him aside, but found that he was standing in front of him without moving.
Her brows furrowed slightly, the people on the engagement banquet list were all arranged in advance, not to mention ordinary people coming in, it was difficult to get close, plus there were confidentiality measures here, no one should be mixed in, but how did this person come?
Seeing Jiang Xinlan getting closer and closer to Pei Ran and them, Pei Xuan was a little anxious, looked at the man in front of him and said, "You'd better get out of the way for me, otherwise don't blame me for being unkind to you." β
"What's the rule?" The man looked at her with amusement, "You want to hit me?" Or do you want to blast me out? Today is the engagement banquet between your sister and the king of the business world, and you are not making trouble for me, but embarrassing for your sister, I believe you know this better than anyone else. β
"You know me?" Pei Xuan looked a little surprised, and suddenly understood in her heart that this person came prepared, the purpose was to stop her, but what did Jiang Xinlan want to do?
She couldn't figure it out, neither she nor Gu Zihua's eyes had left Jiang Xinlan during this time, for fear that she would really come out, except for being kidnapped by Lin Xia once, there was no other situation, seeing that she was getting closer and closer, and she couldn't run over to stop her, Pei Xuan's face was full of resentment.
The man in front of him seemed to be happy to see her like this, and said with satisfaction: "A beauty is a beauty, and even being angry has a special charm." β
If it weren't for the fear that it would ruin Pei Ran's wedding and cause unnecessary trouble, Pei Xuan would definitely let this person come in vertically and go out horizontally.
Now she can only pray in her heart that Jiang Xinlan just wants to send her blessings in person, and has no other thoughts, as long as Jiang Xinlan dares to destroy the engagement banquet, she will definitely beat her so that she can't even recognize her mother, and she Pei Xuan will definitely not let anyone have a chance to bully her sister.
Yan Zhuolang saw Jiang Xinlan coming, his brows furrowed slightly, during this time, he had somewhat noticed Jiang Xinlan's abnormality, and he only thought it was caused by the fright that Jiang Xinlan had been subjected to after being kidnapped, and now she was doing this, undoubtedly wanting to ruin the engagement banquet, he couldn't understand what reason Jiang Xinlan had, or what qualifications he had to do so.
Pei Ran saw Jiang Xinlan walking up to him, and immediately stepped forward to take Jiang Xinlan's hand and said with a smile: "Xinlan, I thought you wouldn't be here today." β
"Why wouldn't I come!" Jiang Xinlan bit out these words, "Then how can I see your most beautiful side, don't forget that I am your best friend." β
