Everyone followed Su Zhexuan's gaze and all their eyes fell on Jiang Ning. The corners of his mouth were bruised and there were some blood stains.
Qian Yu was not a fool. He acted impulsively and did not see Jiang Ning's appearance clearly. At this moment, he looked carefully and found that the man not far away was calm and calm, so calm that it sent shivers down his spine.
She is dressed in casual clothes, and if you look closely, they are all high-end luxury brands, with logos sewn on all the details.
Jiang Ning received everyone's gaze and smiled without saying a word, but people couldn't figure out the deep meaning behind that smile.
Su Zhexuan's words seemed to be adding insult to injury, but in fact they were throwing the problem to Jiang Ning. In front of everyone in Hongtai Tower, even if Jiang Ning really asked Qian Yu to take responsibility, it would still give Hong Xinyi some face.
However, if this matter is just ignored, even if Jiang Ning doesn't care, the Jiang family will make Qian Yu miserable and have to pay at least half his life.
Once the Jiang family really cares about it, Hongtai Building will probably suffer the biggest loss. Once Hongtai Building suffers losses, Hong Xinyi will be directly affected.
Su Zhexuan was naturally unwilling to let Hong Xinyi take on this final responsibility.
Three minutes ago, Qian Yu might have struggled to refute, but now he was a fish on the chopping board, ready to be slaughtered. If he said another word, he might become more angry.
He could only keep in mind his "adding fuel to the fire" to Su Zhexuan.
Jiang Ning did not answer in a hurry. She raised her tea cup leisurely and motioned for Qian Yu to pour tea.
Qian Yu was not happy, but Hong Xinyi, who understood Su Zhexuan's meaning, glared at Qian Yu fiercely and signaled him to do it immediately.
Tea was handed over to him, but Qian Yu's hand stopped in mid-air. Jiang Ning didn't even look at it, let alone take it. He lowered his head and wrote lightly:
"How do you think I should hold him responsible? Cut off his hand, or give him a leg?"
Qian Yu was so frightened that he couldn't stand still and half of the tea in his hand was overturned.
Hong Xinyi grabbed the armrest and straightened her body.
If that bowl of water is spilled, I'm afraid the entire Hongtai Building will collapse.
"If Mr. Jiang really wanted his hands and feet, why would he wait until now?"
Su Zhexuan had seen the bodyguard beside Jiang Ning, but with just a flick of his wrist, Boss Hu's hand was disabled.
Don't say too much, it's no problem to let the bodyguards beat ten of them.
But when Jiang Ning was beaten down by Qian Yu, the bodyguard was nowhere to be seen.
The employer was injured and the bodyguards did not show up, which was undoubtedly the employer's order.
Jiang Ning smiled and said to Qian Yu considerately: "Let it go."
As if he had received a holy order, Qian Yu quickly put down his tea cup, nodded and bowed and retreated behind Su Zhexuan.
"After leaving Hongtai Tower, don't stay in Linshi."
This sentence seemed like advice to Qian Yu, but also seemed like a sentence to Qian Yu. But it is true that he no longer has a place in Linshi.
Unlike Qian Yu who bowed and thanked him, Su Zhexuan clenched his fists nervously.
What is the purpose of such an unpredictable person approaching Su Meng?
"Gulu gulu..."
When Su Meng realized that the source of the sound was her stomach, she awkwardly avoided everyone's attention.
It's really embarrassing in such a serious situation.
"Eat. I'm hungry."
Jiang Ning's tone was calm, but everyone understood it and stopped looking at Su Meng.
There was obviously a whole table of delicious food, but due to the awkward atmosphere at the dinner table, Su Meng put down her bowls and chopsticks when she was only five minutes full.
"Guan Xiaoxiao is not around, but you still want to go back for a late-night snack?"
After Jiang Ning said this, she felt that her tone was not right. Shouldn't Green Tea speak like this? Should she be more gentle and tactful?
For example: Eat more, I will feel bad if you become hungry and lose weight.
Jiang Ning was a little embarrassed to speak. She moved her lips but was still unable to speak.
"I...lose weight."
Su Meng hesitated, but still picked up her chopsticks and took a few more bites.
Su Zhexuan picked up a few more chopsticks and stuffed the food into Su Meng's bowl. Su Meng didn't dare to raise her head, and stuffed the food into her mouth one after another like a ruthless rice-drying machine.
"You've picked the wrong person."
Jiang Ning spoke coldly, while Hong Xinyi hurriedly retracted her rice bowl to her chest.
The sitting position for four people is quite normal. The two girls sit together and the boy sits opposite.
It was wrong to say that something was wrong. Logically speaking, Su Zhexuan should be sitting opposite Su Meng, but Jiang Ning got there first. When she sat down, she didn't forget to say to Su Zhexuan who was pulling out the chair for him: "Thank you."
Because Jiang Ning said "wrong person", there was an awkward silence at the dinner table.
Su Meng, who was eating with her head covered, seemed not to have heard this and continued to eat with her head covered, causing the embarrassment to Su Zhexuan and Hong Xinyi.
Su Zhexuan couldn't reply. If he said that it was natural for him to pick up food for Su Meng, then Hong Xinyi, who was opposite him, would naturally not be able to get off the stage. After all, Hong Xinyi had extended her job to herself, even if she really didn't see Hong Xinyi push her job, but
In order to avoid embarrassment, she took back her job, but it clearly fell into her own eyes.
But Su Zhexuan's words of admonition to Su Meng still echoed in his ears.
It is said that Su Meng and Jiang Ning are not in the same family, isn't it true that I and Hong Xinyi are the same?
People who are not from the same world to begin with, so forcefully bringing them together will only increase their troubles.
Su Zhexuan's eyes instantly turned cold, and he firmly picked up a chopstick and stuffed it into Jiang Ning's bowl.
Jiang Ning jumped up from her chair in horror, and her bowls and chopsticks collapsed on the table in a mess. Not only Jiang Ning, but also Hong Xinyi held her breath in shock. Su Meng sat up straight and looked around in disbelief.
Two people.
"Is there something wrong with you?"
Jiang Ning felt a wave of nausea. He, who was a bit of a germaphobe, was like a lion with a feathered hair, ready to collapse at any moment.
"Mr. Jiang, don't you want to eat my food? Just tell me, you're welcome."
When Su Zhexuan said this, it was not only Jiang Ning who got goosebumps, Su Meng and Hong Xinyi both gasped subconsciously.
Su Meng and Hong Xinyi looked at each other in tacit understanding, and their thoughts in their hearts instinctively matched:
Could it be that my brother (Su Zhexuan) is crooked?
No way?
Su Meng and Hong Xinyi seemed to realize something. They quickly picked up the rice in their bowls and said in unison:
"I'm stuffed."
"I recommend Sister Xinyi to go for a walk, you guys eat slowly!"
The word "you" came out of Su Meng's mouth in a strange accent, making Jiang Ning and Su Zhexuan tremble at the same time.
Hong Xinyi answered the call immediately:
"Yes, yes, please use it slowly."
The two of them ran out without giving Jiang Ning and Su Zhexuan a chance to talk.
The closed space seemed to give the two of them the opportunity to "open their hearts."
Su Zhexuan: "Are you interested in my sister?"
Jiang Ning: "I'm not interested in you!"
Su Zhexuan's face was ashen and he was furious.
"Stay away from my sister."
Su Zhexuan's warning was strong, but what he saw when he turned around was Jiang Ning's teasing smile.
"Brother, you already have too much to take care of yourself. I'm afraid it's a bit too much to care about me..."
That "brother" made Su Zhexuan's heart feel inexplicably angry. He had already punched Jiang Ning with his fist, but he easily grabbed it.
Su Zhexuan shuddered. His punch might have been more tricky than Qian Yu's, and he took advantage of his unpreparedness, and Jiang Ning received it perfectly.
That would further prove that Jiang Ning was injured by Qian Yu intentionally.
"She is just a little girl. Her parents are dead and she has been living in the care of others for many years. If Mr. Jiang wants to play, he can definitely find someone who matches your status to provoke children like us from poor families. What kind of skills is that?"
Jiang Ning stopped the smile on her face and turned it cold.
"Do you still know her difficulties? Then, how much warmth did your family give her? Her parents were both killed in the accident. If the news I got is correct, her parents were responsible for your parents' work. In other words
By the way, if her parents didn't take over the job for your parents, you and your sister would be homeless."
Su Zhexuan was paralyzed, sitting on a chair, looking at Jiang Ning in disbelief.
Su Meng's parents passed away because they took the place of their own parents. Wouldn't it be true that our own family was the real culprit that indirectly caused Su Meng's parents to die...
And over the years, instead of taking good care of Su Meng, his parents have always tried to stymie her. As for their attitude towards Su Meng, more than the word "bad" can describe it?
"I'm just being polite to you because you still have some affection for Su Meng. To put it bluntly, I don't want to know about your family's affairs at all. It's just that Su Meng is involved. What I didn't expect is that your family and Su Meng are involved.
Meng's debt relationship is actually Su Meng's debt to your family. Oh, your parents are really good."
Su Zhexuan frowned, and his nails dug into his flesh unconsciously.
To say that he didn't know about the substitute, but about the debt issue, he had secretly looked through his mother's account book. Each item in the list clearly recorded how his parents squandered the one million yuan in compensation.
After Su Meng came of age, she was prevented from going to college and forced to "pay off her debts."
Su Meng has no debt to them, only they owe Su Meng.
He was a coward. Even if he learned the rough truth, he still wanted to protect his parents' face and didn't want to tell the truth to Su Meng. Instead, he hid it with his parents.
The money I spent helping Su Meng over the years, I said it was helping Su Meng, but in fact I just wanted to find an excuse for myself, a reason, a reason and an excuse to convince myself and make myself feel at ease.
"I...I just ask you, don't hurt her."
Su Zhexuan humbly expressed his inner thoughts, but Jiang Ning only had disdain in her eyes.
"You injured her completely, and then you came back to advise me not to hurt her? Su Zhexuan, who do you think you are? Who do you think you are? Lies will be exposed one day. If you still have a shred of conscience, I hope you will take care of yourself.
.”
Jiang Ning felt heavy when she left the box.
Walking into the corridor where Hongtai Tower is located, the moon sheds its cool light on the ground, reflecting on Su Meng.
Those thin and petite shoulders, how much pressure and grievances have they endured, and why can they still be so determined and optimistic?
He stared blankly at Su Meng, who was lost in thought and walked towards her.
The quiet moonlight was mixed with the flavor of autumn. Su Meng took a deep breath and tried to enjoy the coolness of autumn.
The scent of lemon floated into her heart again, causing her face to turn slightly red.
Su Meng pretended not to notice and talked to Hong Xinyi:
"Sister Xinyi, let's go, it's a little cold."
Before he finished speaking, his shoulders felt heavy, and a feeling of warmth swept over him. This chapter has been completed!
