Return to the Day When My Pregnant Wife Jumped Off the Building-Chapter 400 Interview_1

"Damn! Are you seriously thinking about being that cruel, kid? Do you really need to go that far?"

Ye Jin’an’s voice had gotten louder, and Jiang Nanxi heard him clearly, her eyebrows knitted in confusion, but she said nothing.

"She schemed to trap me into killing the Saint, to take his place and then tried to make me her lackey, threatening to slaughter me if I didn’t comply,"

Xiao Ming said coldly, "I’m not like you. To me, women are only about whether they’re lovable or not, not whether they can be killed or not!"

"Ming, can we not act like children, please?"

Ye Jin’an earnestly pleaded, "With her meager skills, even ten of her couldn’t kill you.

She’s ambitious and cunning, and while she may not be a match for your Li, she’s stronger than the ’Golden Boy and Jade Girl’ Bai sent you, and emotionally, she’s still a blank slate. With your methods, you could easily manipulate her into storming a bunker for you.

She’d make such a great assistant for you, and I’ve really put my nose to the grindstone just to pick her out for you.

By the way, why don’t you want Hua?

With her and Jiang Nanxi by your side, any so-called Qingfeng and Mingyue are just good for doing grunt work."

Xiao Ming began to feel a headache coming on again as he pinched the bridge of his nose, "Ye, do you have some kind of psychological kink about giving women away?

Hua or Jiang Nanxi, both of them are totally fixated on you, how the hell am I supposed to use them?"

"Hey! Brat, don’t you dare refer to yourself as ’ye’ with me, I’m your uncle!"

Ye Jin’an scolded, then added with a bit of swagger, "You know, your uncle doesn’t like dealing with men, so the capable and loyal ones I can find are all women.

And women just can’t help falling for me, which is just how it goes!

Of course, I’m not so outrageous that I’d share women with my nephew. Anyone I send your way, I’ve definitely not touched."

"For heaven’s sake, old...I’m not like you, I’m not interested in having so many women for myself!"

"So what are all those around you, inflatable dolls?"

Xiao Ming hung up the phone.

Because he was afraid he wouldn’t be able to restrain himself from cursing—and accidentally curse himself out.

"What is your relationship with him?" That’s when Jiang Nanxi asked.

"He didn’t tell you?"

"All he said was that he highly appreciates your talent."

Xiao Ming thought for a moment and said, "He’s very close to one of my elders, sort of an elder to me too, I guess!"

Jiang Nanxi’s eyes gleamed, "Then you should be even more willing to help me."

Xiao Ming’s lips curled up, "Do I also get your body in return?"

Jiang Nanxi’s face turned red again, this time not with shyness, but with anger.

However, after a moment, she said, "That depends on how you perform."

Xiao Ming laughed, "Considering you were conned, I’ll let you off this time. Get going now, or your escape route won’t be an option anymore."

"Let me off?" Jiang Nanxi scoffed, "Xiao Ming, are you trying to prove that you still have the talent to be a clown?"

Xiao Ming shook his head, "Jiang Nanxi, do you know what your biggest mistake was this time?"

"What?"

"You wanted too much too soon," Xiao Ming said as he reached under the coffee table, "Whether it’s against me or Cui Zhibo, you’re no match, yet you still dream of killing two birds with one stone. Greedy for more than you can handle, you were just courting death."

No sooner had he finished speaking than he lifted his palm to reveal a furry spider resting in his hand.

Jiang Nanxi was shocked and tried to get up, but felt a chill on her neck and found herself unable to move.

Qingfeng, holding a dagger, stood behind her, "Uncle, Cui Zhibo’s men are clearing the resort, they’ll find this place in no more than three minutes."

"Mm, good job," Xiao Ming said, "Let her go."

Qingfeng then stepped back and stood beside him.

Still sitting, Jiang Nanxi asked in a heavy tone, "Was there a problem with that phone call you made?"

Looking at Xiao Ming and seeing no response, Qingfeng answered, "The first day I started following Uncle, he solemnly warned us: no matter what you do, staying alive is the number one priority.

He only tells us to ’stay safe’ in his orders, he never says ’don’t make mistakes.’" freēwēbηovel.c૦m

Jiang Nanxi clenched her teeth and asked another question, "What does it mean that I was conned?"

Xiao Ming sighed, "Ye Jin’an recommending me to you wasn’t to have you make me submit to you.

Rather, it was to send you my way.

Everything you’ve done basically amounts to a ’skill demonstration’ or an ’interview’ for me."

"Are you kidding me? Wasn’t he afraid that I might kill you?"

"Could you have done it?"

Jiang Nanxi was stunned, remembering the earlier line about "being cruel," her already pale cheeks turned instantly white as paper, and her eyes dimmed.

"If it’s any consolation," Xiao Ming continued, "he just doesn’t like you, but he doesn’t underrate you. He says you’re stronger than any assistant I have.

Alright, I’ve said all there is to say. If you don’t leave now, you really won’t make it."

Jiang Nanxi gave a wistful smile and shook her head.

Xiao Ming frowned, "You picked this remote place to deal with me, surely you prepared a way out?"

"I have a way out," Jiang Nanxi looked up at him, "but you haven’t answered my question yet."
