Return to the Day When My Pregnant Wife Jumped Off the Building-Chapter 366 Just a Clean One
Chapter 366: Chapter 366 Just a Clean One
An Kefang was like a skittish deer, trembling, her eyes quickly reddening.
"I’m sorry, I... I didn’t rest well last night and woke up late.
Also, thank you for your coat. I’ve sent it to be dry-cleaned and can return it to you tomorrow."
"That’s not my coat."
"Ah? But Miss Jiang said..."
"She destroyed the reputation of two ladies right in front of you, ’ruthless and heartless’ would be an understatement if tattooed on her forehead. Where does your trust in her come from?"
"I... I..."
An Kefang was at a loss for words.
In fact, if it hadn’t been for Xiao Ming pointing it out, she wouldn’t have even realized it.
First fear last night, then sadness, and when Jiang Nanxi consoled her, she was so serene and gentle, and her words so reasonable, that An only saw her as a knowledgeable big sister, completely overlooking the bloodshed in the resting room.
"Miss An, you’re so easily fooled that I feel like not scamming you would be a disservice to your stupidity!"
Xiao Ming lamented with a face full of regretful venom.
An Kefang hung her head low, weakly retorting, "I... I just didn’t expect her to lie to me about something like this."
"What else could it be for? Of course, it’s to make you think well of me, to make it easier to get you into bed!"
An Kefang’s eyes widened, "Are you friends?"
Xiao Ming shook his head, "On the contrary, she is friends with your four families."
"Then why would she want to help you get... to get me?"
"Pfft..."
Furukawa Shizuka couldn’t hold back her laughter, then waved her hand, saying, "Sorry, carry on, just pretend I’m not here."
Xiao Ming shook his head, seeing the leader still babbling incessantly on the stage, stood up and said, "You stay here and keep up the front, I’m off to take care of the matter we talked about last night."
Furukawa Shizuka grumbled discontentedly, "Just because I laughed. You’re such a petty man!"
Xiao Ming ignored her, heading straight to the gym’s exit.
An Kefang was dazed for a moment, then hurriedly followed.
Watching her frantic figure, Furukawa Shizuka twitched her mouth, "This must be the ’silly woman’ he was talking about, truly annoying!"
"Mr. Xiao, please wait!"
Outside the gymnasium, An Kefang finally caught up with Xiao Ming, "The grand assembly is about to start, aren’t you going to attend?"
"Not interested. Our bet was that during the event you have to sit behind me, but other than that, you’re free to do as you please."
Xiao Ming kept walking, with Qingfeng already waiting in the car down the steps.
An Kefang bit her lip, following step by step, "You still haven’t answered my question!"
"Am I obligated to answer you?"
"Then... then I’ll follow you."
Xiao Ming stopped beside the car, giving her a deep look and a cold laugh, "This must also be Jiang Nanxi’s teaching, right?"
An Kefang fiddled with the zipper on her down jacket, "She said only you would tell me all the answers."
"Aren’t you afraid I’ll take advantage of you?"
"You..." An Kefang couldn’t help feeling a bit angry, stomping her foot, "I admit I’m a bit dense, but I’m not that stupid, am I?
You’ve already warned me outright, how could I still be fooled?"
"You’re not stupid, but you underestimate my intelligence. Believe it or not, I could not only take advantage of you but also make you happily offer a red envelope after."
"Miss An, some things in this world shouldn’t exist for you; ignorance is bliss.
Our bet is off. Leave Qingyang, go home!"
With that, Xiao Ming got into the car.
However, Qingfeng didn’t immediately drive off, because An Kefang purposefully walked around to the other side and got into the car next to Xiao Ming, glaring at him.
"Are you a sticky plaster?" Xiao Ming didn’t hide his impatience.
With a face of inexplicable courage and determination, An Kefang responded, "Yes! Unless you answer all my questions, I’ll stick to you!"
"Believe me if I slap you?"
"Go ahead! Suffering a little might help someone as confused and stupid as me wake up."
Xiao Ming swiftly raised his palm, frightening An Kefang into curling up, tears welling up in the corners of her eyes.
"Speaking without thinking, that’s you to a T, understand?"
Lowering his hand, Xiao Ming kicked the back of the driver’s seat, "Drive!"
Qingfeng, not daring to say more, obediently drove the car onto the road, heading out of the city.
"Jiang Nanxi isn’t helping me take advantage of you, but she’s using you as a pawn in a beauty trap. She hopes that by ’I slept with you,’ she can coerce me, turning me into a scumbag like your four families."
"You... On what basis do you say that about us?"
"Goddamn, they’re all into debauched parties every day, does that seem like something decent families do?"
An Kefang turned pale, looking down, "I haven’t."
"That’s why I didn’t really kick you out of the car."
Xiao Ming cracked the window, lighting a cigarette, "Among the principal figures of the Hao, Wu, An, and Chang families, you’re pretty much the only clean one."
An Kefang turned to look at him, "We... What have they done?"
"Murder, arson, grave-robbing, smuggling, all but drug trafficking and human selling, they’ve done every evil deed."
"That... How is that possible?" An Kefang’s eyes nearly popped out, "Our four families have a hundred-year legacy, always mingling only in the antiques circle, and we’ve rarely truly been poor.
If it’s money we want, even if we don’t conduct business, just making some fake cultural relics would be enough. Why would there be a need to commit capital crimes?"
