Return to the Day When My Pregnant Wife Jumped Off the Building-Chapter 385: The Last Straw_1
Chapter 385: Chapter 385: The Last Straw_1
Xiao Ming felt a warmth in his heart and deliberately looked at Ding Jianwei with a strange expression, "Chief Sister, I’m really curious, what am I to you in your heart? A man? A subordinate? Or perhaps your son?
Your recent display of strong protective instincts makes me really feel the urge to be babied!"
Ding Jianwei couldn’t hold back any longer and, with a cry of laughter, laid her head on his shoulder.
"If I’d known you were such a daredevil, I would’ve never brought you into this in the first place."
"If I’d known our relationship would turn out like this, well, back then I..."
The chill in Ding Jianwei’s eyes began to emerge, and Xiao Ming had to change his words in a hurry, "Back on the gambling boat, I should have been more audacious. After all, no matter how I take advantage of you, you’re always willing."
"I remember clearly indicating at that time that a fling was possible."
"That’s exactly what scares me. What if, after we’re done, you’re satisfied and start looking for your next target? That would be a huge loss for me!"
Ding Jianwei finally laughed, closing her eyes to listen to the heartbeat in his chest, "Last night our unit received an anonymous call, saying that Red Lotus Society’s Ten Residence Honored One and Universal Salvation Venerable are currently in Qingyang.
And there’s a high possibility that the Saint might come as well.
The moment the leadership passed the information to my side, I guessed that it must be you stirring things up.
What are you up to? You don’t really think you can trick the real Saint into coming, do you?"
Xiao Ming thought for a moment, then said, "The Saint I know of is a layman, and at the same time, a businessman and philanthropist who suffered from polio as a child, so one of his legs is lame.
If your analysis of the Saint is accurate, then he is a fraud.
Conversely, he must be real.
And when I invited him this time, I specifically asked to see a cripple."
"How could you..."
Ding Jianwei was about to ask subconsciously, then caught on and pouted, "Forget it, it’s definitely something your teacher told you."
Xiao Ming smiled, "Insisting on meeting him, other than wanting to have a chat, I also want to chop off one of Red Lotus Society’s arms and stuff an old friend in as a greeting gift."
Ding Jianwei frowned, "Which arm?"
"If I’m not wrong, that anonymous call was made from Qingyang, right?"
"You know who it was?"
Xiao Ming’s smile deepened, "When I was talking with Jiang Nanxi yesterday, I deliberately left An Kefang behind, and even very ’thoughtfully’ relieved her guilt about snitching to her grandpa."
Ding Jianwei remembered the beautiful girl she saw outside the restroom the night before and snorted, "It’s one thing to beat up Hao Xiangyu, but to steal someone’s girlfriend as well, you’re really killing two birds with one stone."
"Please, stop acting as if I’ve already slept with you, okay? Guilt is very uncomfortable."
"Why feel guilty if you haven’t done anything wrong?"
"That’s the fucked up part! God knows why I feel guilty the moment you glare at me, even though I’ve done nothing."
Ding Jianwei’s lips curled up, and with her fingertips she felt the roughness of the stubble on his chin, "Maybe, I should be drowned in a pig cage with you."
"Drown yourself! When the time comes, I’ll shed two tears over your corpse, recite ’In life and death, so vast, without pondering, hard to forget,’ and then perk up and continue enjoying my wonderful life."
Ding Jianwei bit his chin, and somehow from there moved up to his lips.
Suddenly, with a bang, the bathroom door swung open, and Furukawa Shizuka, with her hair wrapped up and wearing a bathrobe, stepped out, looking at them apologetically, "Sorry, I didn’t know my own strength. Carry on."
After saying that, the girl walked out the door like a proud peacock.
"Carry on then, carry on."
Ding Jianwei didn’t care about her, but as she was about to go back to what she was doing, a hand covered her mouth.
"I haven’t brushed my teeth yet."
The excuse Xiao Ming gave made Ding Jianwei’s gaze sharp as a knife.
"Because of her?"
"Because of myself. Chief Sister, you can’t always play these opportunistic games, you know how hard it is for me to find a decent excuse for my shamelessness?"
Smack!
Another slap landed on his forehead.
Ding Jianwei sat up straight, "Let’s get back to serious matters. You deliberately let An Kefang leak your conversation with Jiang Nanxi to An Xianhe, do you think such a simple divide and conquer scheme would convince the four old crooks to turn against Red Lotus Society?"
"Strictly speaking, my scheme isn’t to drive a wedge but to be the last straw that breaks the camel’s back."
Xiao Ming relit a cigarette and propped his head up with his hands, "At the beginning, in order to confirm Red Lotus Society’s intentions, I deliberately acted brash and boldly; I not only publicly injured Hao Xiangyu but also snatched away an industry worth billions in profit.
Afterward, Hao Xiangyu, seeking revenge, coaxed An Kefang into setting me up, which resulted in the disfigurement and finger amputation of the daughters of four wealthy families.
I understand Jiang Nanxi, ’her aspirations are as high as the sky, but her fate as thin as paper.’ These words describe her perfectly. freёnovelkiss.com
She believes she has a distinguished lineage, yet she has never had a life to match it, so she’s incredibly arrogant and yet extremely insecure.
And to mask her insecurity, she becomes even more arrogantly unyielding, definitely not the type to patiently explain to the four old men Hao, Wu, An, Chang, nor would she ever apologize.
This kind of unreasonable oppression was bound to fill the old men with rage, and of course, lead them to think, ’I’m more important than they are.’
