Jing Ni and I felt our faces heat up. This brazen girl!
Suddenly, Jing Ni and I looked at each other, and I slapped the table.
Mai Qi was startled by me. âWhat?â
âTell us! Who taught you to do this?â I said through gritted teeth.
âWhat, what?â Mai Qiâs eyes flashed.
Jing Ni also reacted.
Jing Ni and I crossed our arms as we looked at Mai Qi. Jing Ni said through gritted teeth, âWho taught you this method? Tell us honestly, or Iâll tell your brother about this.â
I added fuel to the fire. âWhen the time comes, we wonât speak on your behalf. You have to think carefully about whether youâll tell us or not!â
Mai Qiâs body shrank back into the chair.
âI taught her!â The door behind her opened. Ye Qian stood at the door with a smile.
Jing Ni and I looked at each other. We felt like deflated balloons. If Ye Qian was her teacher, then everything made sense.
Ye Qian walked in slowly, and Mai Qi heaved a sigh of relief.
We gave up our seats for Ye Qian. I couldnât help but ask Ye Qian, âI really donât understand. Why would you intervene in this?â
Ye Qian shrugged. âI was just anxious about Master San.â
Well, another love bug. However, there was still something which was wrong, but I just couldnât say it out loud.
Ye Qian smiled and said, âI was anxious about Master San and sold out Mai Qi. Do you have any objections?â
Jing Ni and I immediately shook our heads like rattle drums.
Ye Qian couldnât help but laugh. âThen stop looking so glum. The process isnât important. Whatâs important is the result. Master Si is the only elder in the Tong family. No one can interfere with his matters. Mai Qi is still young, so sheâs not worried. However, Master San is anxious about Master Siâs marriage. We canât intervene openly, so I came up with this plan. Mai Qi, are you satisfied?â
Mai Qi nodded. She had been used, but she still didnât mind. Sigh!
Ye Qianâs smile faded. âMy people said that someone is using the dark net to investigate the three of you. Nanxingâs Phoenix Blood is destined to attract attention, so itâs normal for it to be investigated. Nanxing is now considered a public figure on the dark net. But why is someone investigating Mai Qi and Jing Ni?
âI got people to follow the clues and analyze the massive amount of data. They found that the person who was behind it was the Lin family.â
We were slightly startled.
Ye Qian smiled. âIn other words, all the coincidences were not coincidences. Before we came back, the Lin family had already gotten to know you guys. Lin Nan was interested in Jing Tian and didnât take Nanxing seriously at all. Why is she so determined?
âBecause Lin Nan wanted to rise in the Lin family and break the rules set by the Lin family over the years. She chose Jing Tian to help her. I have to say. Her plan is very good.â
âWhy wouldnât she choose Qu Hao, little uncle, or cousin Mo?â I donât understand.
âIn terms of background, the Jing family behind Jing Tian is the cleanest.â
âIsnât Qu Hao cleaner than Jing Tian?â Jing Ni didnât understand. As a member of the Jing family, she knew the Jing familyâs background the best.
Ye Qian smiled. âNo one can find out Qu Haoâs background, but people can discover a lot about Mai Qi. Mai Qi doesnât have as much protection and cover-up as Qu Hao. Back then, Mrs. Mai was afraid that her daughter wouldnât be able to meet a man with a good enough background, so she directly revealed Mai Qiâs identity as a princess. Therefore, Lin Hua expressed his interest in Mai Qi at the first meeting. Do you want to make a bet? In a few days, Lin Hua will run into Mai Qi by chance and then use that excuse to start pursuing Mai Qi.ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
