She held the information she had gathered last night.

With her backpack on, she left the house and headed to school. As soon as she sat down, Xiao Yeyu approached her gracefully, saying, “Yining, I’m really sorry about yesterday. 1 had a bit of a stomachache and left early. 1 hope I didn’t disturb your time with Xiaoxi.”

When it came to acting, Jiang Yining had never lost to anyone. She smiled faintly and replied, “Don’t worry about that, are you feeling better now?”

“I’m much better now. Just a minor issue, no need to worry,” Xiao Yeyu continued. “Xiaoxi called earlier and said she drank too much last night, so she couldn’t come to class. 1 helped her get an absence.”

“Okay,” Jiang Yining nodded.

“By the way, Yining, after class, do you have time to go shopping together?” Xiao Yeyu asked.

“1 do have time, but I need to go home first. If you find it boring, you can come with me. You’ve never been to my place, have you?” Jiang Yining suspected Xiao Yeyu’s true intentions of getting closer to Lu Zhi.

“Well, if it’s convenient for you, I’d like to come to your place,” Xiao Yeyu replied, pretending to be enthusiastic.

Jiang Yining smiled warmly but concealed the icy turmoil in her heart. Xiao Yeyu was unaware of the true game being played here.

Xiao Yeyu, hearing Jiang Yining’s offer, felt ecstatic. She definitely wanted to visit the Lu family villa. That way, she could spend some alone time with Lu Zhi.

However, she also had some reservations, especially after offending Lu Zhi just last night.

“Don’t you want to go?” Jiang Yining noticed Xiao Yeyu’s hesitation and added, “If you don’t want to, you don’t have to force yourself.”

“I do want to go. It’s just that I’m worried it might be inconvenient at your place,” Xiao Yeyu replied, trying to sound considerate.

“We’re good friends. There’s nothing inconvenient about that,” Jiang Yining said calmly.

“Alright, then,” Xiao Yeyu readily agreed, and Jiang Yining merely curled her lips, not saying another word. The bait had been cast, and now it was up to Xiao Yeyu to decide whether to take it or not.

The afternoon classes ended early. Jiang Yining, accompanied by Xiao Yeyu, went directly to her home. As Xiao Yeyu stared at Jiang Yining’s ten-times-larger-than-her-home mansion, she couldn’t help but feel envious.

“Yining, with so many rooms, doesn’t it feel empty with just you and Lu Zhi living here?” she asked.

“We have servants at home. It never feels empty,” Jiang Yining replied, leading Xiao Yeyu into her bedroom. She said, “Make yourself at home.”

After giving her that instruction, Jiang Yining ignored Xiao Yeyu and turned on her computer, starting her programming work.

Xiao Yeyu tiptoed around Jiang Yining’s bedroom, unable to contain her curiosity. She quietly opened the door and stepped out when she saw that Jiang Yining wasn’t paying attention.

Unbeknownst to her, Jiang Yining tapped a few keys on her computer, revealing the surveillance footage from the entire villa.

Xiao Yeyu had no idea that she was being monitored as she roamed freely around the Lu family villa. Initially, she was somewhat cautious, considering it was someone else’s home. However, when she saw that no one was around to watch her, she began to relax.

After a while, she finally found Lu Zhi’s room.

Seeing the room filled with clothes and personal items that Lu Zhi had used, she blushed and couldn’t resist examining each item lovingly.

She had a deep infatuation with Lu Zhi, even if it meant becoming his secret lover. She had worked so hard for this moment—to enter his room and closely observe his life.

Xiao Yeyu was overwhelmed with excitement and nearly teary-eyed at the thought.

After spending a considerable amount of time in the room, she suddenly heard the door being opened and someone entering.

Startled, she hurriedly got off the bed. “1 didn’t mean to… 1 was just tired…”

She began to explain herself, but then she saw who had entered the room, and her face turned pale.

“Huang Yiyang?” she gasped.

“Xiao Yeyu, you wicked woman! Introducing me to Ye Xiaoxi was a scheme to harm me, wasn’t it?”

Huang Yiyang held a knife, gritting his teeth as he accused her.

“What are you talking about? I don’t understand,” Xiao Yeyu feigned ignorance.

Huang Yiyang advanced aggressively. “You don’t understand? Do you know how miserably you’ve ruined me? 1 loved racing so much, and they crippled my arm. I’ll never be able to race again! And because 1 almost forced myself on Ye Xiaoxi, they castrated me! Xiao Yeyu, that night, 1 clearly felt something was off with me; it must have been you messing with me!”

“I didn’t! You’re the one who messed up, don’t pin everything on me!” Xiao Yeyu vehemently denied it.

“I won’t believe your excuses! I’m living a living hell now, all thanks to you! I’m going to make you pay!” Huang Yiyang snarled viciously, pouncing on her and pressing her against the cold wall. He pointed the knife at her beautiful face and said, “After 1 kill you, I’ll also kill Jiang Yining and Lu Zhi! That way, I won’t have any regrets even in death!”

As he finished speaking, he raised the knife and thrust it toward Xiao Yeyu.

Terrified, Xiao Yeyu’s complexion turned ashen. “Huang Yiyang, please spare me!”

“I’ll spare you when someone spares me!” Suddenly, Huang Yiyang changed his tone. “Unless you explain to Jiang Yining and Lu Zhi that you drugged me, I’ll do it. Otherwise, I’ll ruin your looks and make you an ugly freak for the rest of your life!”

“But I really didn’t…” Xiao Yeyu began to argue.

Huang Yiyang moved the knife closer to her, and she could almost feel the pain as it cut into her skin.

Xiao Yeyu was afraid of being disfigured. Regardless, she knew that Jiang Yining wouldn’t believe Huang Yiyang’s story. So, when he took her outside, she planned to break free and tell Jiang Yining that she had been coerced, fabricating a different story.

With trembling lips, Xiao Yeyu said, “Alright, 1 promise to help you explain.”

In a stern tone, Huang Yiyang asked, “Xiao Yeyu, I really want to know why you did this to me. We had no grudges, and no disputes. Was it because your friend offended you, so you deliberately lured me into harming her?”

“I never meant to harm you. It was my brother’s idea. He knew in advance that Ye Xiaoxi was the long-lost granddaughter of the Yuan family and wanted to gain her favor before she returned to them. He planned to marry her once she went back to the Yuan family. On that day, the thugs he arranged didn’t show up, so he asked me for help. You know the rest…” Xiao Yeyu continued her pattern of deflecting blame.

Huang Yiyang was so furious that he couldn’t find words to respond. The Xiao family was ruthless. They had completely used him as a pawn!

If it weren’t for Jiang Yining inviting him to participate in this act, he might still be in the dark about their scheme!

“You wretch! You and your brother deserve to die!” Huang Yiyang raged.

Driven by anger, he was about to take action against Xiao Yeyu. However, just then, the door was forcefully kicked open, and Jiang Yining appeared in the doorway, her expression icy and determined as she stared at them..
