“I’m fine. The two of them could not win me in an argument!” Xia Wei shook her head.
Jian Tan chuckled when he heard that. He looked at Xia Wei gently before turning to Chen Yuan and saying coldly, “I remember I warned you to stay away from Xia Wei in the future. Looks like you didn’t take it to heart at all! Why? Starlight’s days haven’t been too tragic recently, right? Do you really want to try our Jian Family’s tactics?”
Chen Yuan could no longer maintain his composure after being questioned and threatened by Jian Tan so mercilessly. The corners of his lips twitched slightly, as if he was hiding his anger, but yet he did not dare to say anything because he was wary of Emperor and the Jian Family!
He took a deep breath without batting an eyelid and put on a fake smile. He explained perfunctorily, “Teacher Jian, you’ve misunderstood. We didn’t come here to make things difficult for Xia Wei. We just saw that Xia Wei and President Jiang were a little entangled from afar, so we came over with good intentions to help smooth things over and ease the atmosphere between the two of them!”
“After all, Teacher Jian, you know that President Jiang is used to ‘doing whatever he wants’. We’re just worried that Xia Wei will be straightforward and offend President Jiang again. That won’t be good!”
Hearing Chen Yuan mention his name, Jiang Xiao looked up at him unhappily. Jiang Xiao was not a stupid person, so he naturally understood that Chen Yuan wanted to use him as an excuse to ease the tense atmosphere.
He knew that Chen Yuan was a smart and vengeful young man and rather admired him. However, after hearing so many secrets just now, he realized that Chen Yuan was not as simple as he had thought.
He had already used his “smartness” on him. How could Jiang Xiao be so easy to talk to?
“Mr. Chen, you’re really good at talking. You can even say that a black thing is white! There’s a misunderstanding between Miss Xia and me, but this really has nothing to do with the two of you. You grabbed Miss Xia and mocked her the moment you came up. Halfway through, you even wanted to rope me in to bully her with numbers…”
As Jiang Xiao spoke, he looked back at Xia Wei. After thinking for a moment, he continued, “Although I don’t know what grudges there are between the two of you, I can tell that you have ill intentions towards my savior! Actually, I can’t understand why you have to say so much to me, but I’m not a fool. Don’t even think about using me to whitewash your evil hearts!”
Chen Yuan almost couldn’t maintain the calmness on his face after being exposed by Jiang Xiao. He looked at Jiang Xiao a few times before smiling faintly, as if he had told a funny joke. “Looks like President Jiang doesn’t want to thank me anymore. It’s really difficult to be a good person in this world! Forget it, I was meddlesome tonight. However, I really hope that President Jiang won’t regret it in the future. After all, men who are related to Xia Wei don’t seem to have a good ending!”
Without giving Chen Yuan any face, Xia Wei sneered and retorted, “Is that so? Why do 1 feel that it’s the opposite? It’s really unlucky to be with you and Xin Xin! Your self-talking and pompous skills are getting more and more exquisite!”
Glancing at the gloomy and angry Chen Yuan, Xia Wei continued to mock him without retreating. “What are you afraid of now? Continue your insufferably arrogant appearance just now. Why did you stop when Jian Tan came? I’m not used to you being so cowardly!”
As Xia Wei spoke, she raised her hand and gently held Jian Tan’s arm. The sarcastic and provocative expression on her face was very eye-catching. She almost pointed at Chen Yuan and Xin Xin’s noses and scolded, “What? I’m clinging to Jian Tan. What can the two of you do to me?”
As if they did not expect Xia Wei to do this, Chen Yuan and Xin Xin widened their eyes in shock.
They thought that even if Xia Wei really had something going on with Jian Tan, she would not do it so openly. They felt that they had grabbed Xia Wei’s pathetic self-esteem, but they did not expect Xia Wei to be so straightforward. After “getting close” to such a reliable backer, she looked proud instead of ashamed.. This caught them off guard!
