The strategy failed, she came back holding the bottle

"So you knew I was coming a long time ago, and you were asked to wait for me at the airport on purpose, using me as a springboard?"

Jiang Jiaoxiao: "The one being used as a springboard is Jiang Manyue, and you are at most the stone that supports the springboard."

Jiang Zhi was angry. Besides his mother, who else had ever belittled him like this? He stood up, holding his hands on his waist, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

"Listen, did you hear what she said? Man Yue, lend me your gun, I'll shoot her."

Jiang Jiaoxiao lay on the floor in a coma, not moving at all.

Jiang Zhi grabbed the milk on the table and took a sip. Jiang Feng slowly stood up, walked out of the restaurant and into the living room, and made a gesture to have someone untie the person on the ground.

He sat down on the sofa slowly, crossed his legs and leaned back leisurely, and said, "Did you get the things?"

Jiang Jiaoxiao was untied and slowly sat up from the ground. He took out a USB drive from his pocket and placed it on the coffee table: "It's all in here."

Jiang Zhi's eyes widened as he walked over: "What do you mean? Mission Impossible?"

Jiang Feng: "A cooperative relationship."

"Then you also know that they sold Man Yue! Okay, wait, I'll tell my brother Jiang Feng right away. You're risking his daughter."

Man Yue, who had just arrived in the living room, lowered her eyelids expressionlessly. She was neither surprised nor shocked. Jiang Feng! She had never held any hope for him from the beginning to the end.

As a shrewd person, he would choose to maximize benefits in everything he does, whether it is business or love, she would always be in the last place.

Jiang Feng subconsciously looked at her and wanted to explain, but was interrupted by Jiang Jiaoxiao.

"he does not know."

Jiang Jiaoxiao stood up and said, "That Taoist priest was a scammer that Jiang Jiaochou had hired long ago. He originally planned to send me there to find an opportunity to kill old man Will and then support his illegitimate son to take the throne."

"But later, when I caught up with you guys and came back, I found a way to make them change their minds. I used the full moon to achieve their goal and, by the way, angered Mr. Jiang and killed someone with a borrowed knife."

She and Jiang Feng were brothers in distress back then, both being bullied. However, when Jiang Feng was around, he was the one who was bullied the most. Later, when Jiang Feng rebelled, she became the only one who was bullied.

Before Jiang Ren became a vegetable, Jiang Jiaoxiao was his adopted daughter on the surface, but in reality she was the object of his menstrual relief. This was the real reason why the three Jiang siblings treated her increasingly badly.

Jiang Feng was kind enough to help her, so she became Jiang Feng's accomplice. She watched coldly as Jiang Ren was thrown into the tiger park and was torn to pieces until he was half dead. The reason why she didn't want to leave now was simply that she wanted to kill the three brothers and sisters of the Jiang family herself.

So while she helped Jiang Feng steal the information, she secretly gave advice to the two people, intending to use the full moon to provoke Jiang Feng's anger towards them.

And because of her deliberate concealment, Jiang Feng always thought that it was she who wanted to kill Will at yesterday's wedding.

Under Jiang Feng's deep gaze, Man Yue went upstairs calmly.

However, Jiang Zhi felt that his brain was not enough. He was really not suitable for intrigue and conspiracy.

Jiang Feng watched Man Yue go upstairs, then turned around and gave Jiang Jiaoxiao a cold look: "Since you have learned your lesson, go and heal your wounds first."

Jiang Jiaoxiao was beaten badly, his whole face was swollen, and his arms were covered with whip marks from Jiang Jiaoda, who was venting her anger because she was likely to become a cripple. His clothes were stained red from sticking to the wounds, and one could still faintly smell the blood on her body. It was not an exaggeration to say that his skin was torn and his flesh was exposed.

Jiang Zhi and Jiang Jiaoxiao were the only ones left in the living room. Seeing how badly she'd been beaten, she said, "You'll get an infection if you don't go to the hospital!"

Jiang Jiaoxiao endured the pain in her body and walked past him, saying, "I'm used to it."

Then he went straight back to his only room in the Jiang family, a guest room on the first floor of more than ten square meters, with only a bed, a wardrobe and a table.

Jiang Zhi looked at her back and scratched his head. How many beatings must she have taken to have such good physical fitness?

If it were him, if he had a small cut on his body, his mother would be horrified and look left and right, and would want to arrange a full body check for him.

Jiang Jiaoxiao stayed here temporarily, hiding in the utility room for several days without showing up. When the aunt who brought her food said that she had a fever and it subsided after taking medicine, Jiang Zhi felt again that this sister was really pitiful.

In the room, the two of them were holding hands on the small sofa. He touched Man Yue's arm and said, "Look how miserable she is. Why don't you stop being angry with her?"

Man Yue ate potato chips and asked: "Which eye of yours saw that I was angry?"

Jiang Zhi: "You have a stern face all day long. Anyone can tell that you are unhappy!"

Man Yue: "You're mistaken. I just don't like to smile."

"Oh." Jiang Zhi stood up: "You've been staying here for several days. Want to go out for a walk?"

Man Yue lay down: "No."

Jiang Zhi: "Then I'll go by myself."

After Jiang Zhi left, Man Yue went downstairs and bumped into Jiang Jiaoxiao as soon as she arrived in the living room. Both of them were stunned and then moved away silently.

After Man Yue took her things upstairs, Jiang Jiaoxiao came and knocked on the door.

"Is something wrong?"

The swelling on Jiang Jiaoxiao's face had subsided, but there were still traces of bruises on her neck and face. She said, "I have something to tell you."

"Oh!" Man Yue leaned against the door frame, not intending to let her in: "You say."

Jiang Jiaoxiao said, "I did act on my own initiative in that matter. I hope you won't target me."

Man Yue hugged her shoulders and asked back, "You used me as bait, so I can't be angry?"

Jiang Jiaoxiao looked at her seriously and said, "I'm not as lucky as you. I've never had anyone protecting me since I was a child. If I want to live, I have to fight for it myself, even if I have to use you.

But I've been prepared for this whole thing from beginning to end. After you went upstairs, I had someone inform Mr. Jiang of your whereabouts, so you're just going through the motions and won't be in any danger."

"Do you mean that I should thank you for keeping me safe?" Man Yue said immediately.

"Isn't that the truth?" Jiang Jiaoxiao had her own way of thinking. She asked in confusion, "I used you, and I could have kept this secret and let you be sacrificed, but I still chose to save you."

Man Yue smiled and said, "I sympathize with your life experience, but none of this was caused by me, so it's normal for me, an innocent victim, to be dissatisfied with you, the instigator."

"And you're wrong about one thing. I'm not a white flower who has never suffered any hardship." In fact, what she experienced was not much better than hers.

Jiang Jiaoxiao bit her lower lip and lowered her head.

Man Yue: "Since you and Jiang Feng have already cooperated, I think he should have suggested sending you back home! But you chose to stay here for revenge. Isn't everything now your choice? What reason do you have to play pity on me?"
