Chapter 21 - 21 21 Jian Si's Successful Counterattack
21: Chapter 21 Jian Si’s Successful Counterattack 21: Chapter 21 Jian Si’s Successful Counterattack Lu Youting blocked Jian Si at the door of the hospital room.
Jian Si looked up at him coldly, “Director Lu, I have other things to do, please let me through.”
Lu Youting’s face was full of apology.
“I’m sorry.”
It was the first time she had heard these three words from his mouth, and Jian Si found it amusing.
“Don’t be, you haven’t wronged me.
There’s no need to apologize.”
As she spoke, she deliberately used the polite ‘you’ and emphasized her tone.
Hearing her sarcasm, Lu Youting, fully aware that he was at fault initially, didn’t take it to heart.
“I shouldn’t have distrusted you.”
Jian Si immediately stopped him with her hand.
“Stop, your trust means nothing to me, and I don’t need it, so no need to apologize.
It would give me nightmares.”
Her words were filled with barbs.
Each one mercilessly stabbed into Lu Youting’s heart, making him tremble with anger.
“Jian Si, what do you mean?
I’m just concerned about you, and you’re ungrateful, like a dog biting Lu Dongbin without recognizing the good intention.”
“Concern?” Jian Si chuckled coldly, bitterness in her eyes.
“I don’t need your concern.
We ceased to have anything to do with each other five years ago.
Your concern now is hypocritical and makes me nauseous.
If it weren’t for Xiao Bai, I wouldn’t want to see you for the rest of my life.”
The cold, indifferent words sent Lu Youting’s blood rushing to his head, his face alternating between pale and flushed, his heart uncontrollably clenching in pain.
He couldn’t understand why Jian Si’s hostility towards him was so intense.
Was it merely because he divorced her for Ye Qingqing?
“Even though we are divorced, do we have to be enemies?
I’ve forgiven you for abandoning Xiao Bai and leaving, can’t you forgive me?”
“Forgive?” Jian Si sneered, pulling a smile.
“You’re not worthy of my forgiveness.”
After saying that, she pushed him away to leave.
Lu Youting refused to let her go, grabbing her wrist.
“Let’s not talk about our past grievances for now.
I just want to know, who helped you get the complete video?”
And that person was the one he had been desperately searching for: C.
Jian Si glanced at him.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
Lu Youting analyzed calmly, “The timeline laid out so clearly could only be done by someone from the Jian Family, not outsiders, not Uncle and Aunt Jian, and Ye Qingqing wouldn’t do this.
Other than you, I can’t think of anyone.
And those three photos, outsiders wouldn’t have them.”
Jian Si smirked, “I think you’re overthinking it.
Ye Qingqing did a lot of bad things; maybe someone just couldn’t stand her and decided to help me take revenge.”
Lu Youting’s eyes narrowed dangerously, his face slightly darkened.
“You think I’m that easy to fool?”
Jian Si unconcernedly said, “I don’t know if you’re easy to fool, but I really don’t know that person!” After saying that, she pushed him away.
“I’m sorry, I have things to do.
Please step aside.”
This time, Lu Youting did not stop her.
Watching her disappear from his sight, he was certain, feeling assured, that Jian Si knew C; otherwise, her expression wouldn’t have been so calm.
Perhaps Jian Si was indeed a breakthrough.
Regardless, he had to find C.
Elsewhere.
Ye Qingqing, like a soul drained from her body, was sent home by Lin Xinyu in despair.
Xu Jiaorong, seeing her daughter looking haggard, anxiously asked, “What happened?
Weren’t you fine when you left this morning?
How did it come to this?”
Lin Xinyu explained everything that had happened and even took out her phone to show her the trending searches.
After seeing the content of the trending searches, her face turned deathly pale, and rage surged to her chest.
“It’s Jian Si, it’s definitely that bitch!” she said, holding Ye Qingqing’s face, consoling her with heartache, “Qingqing, what’s wrong?
Don’t scare Mommy!
Please, talk to me.”
Seeing that she remained silent, her gaze unfocused, she hurriedly said, “Don’t worry, Mommy will surely avenge you.
I will make that bitch pay for what she did today.”
Hearing the word ‘avenge’, Ye Qingqing finally reacted.
Her gaze focused, looking at Xu Jiaorong.
After a few seconds, she burst into tears, hugging Xu Jiaorong and crying.
“Mom, you must avenge me!
That bitch made me a laughingstock in the hospital, I’ve lost face now.
Even Youting is angry with me, unwilling to listen to my explanation.
What if he calls off our engagement?
No, I can’t lose him, I can’t let them be a happy family of three.”
Xu Jiaorong’s heart ached as her daughter cried, patting her back to console her, “Don’t worry, Mommy won’t let this happen!
Youting is yours; no one can take him away.”
Feeling it was inappropriate for her to stay any longer, Lin Xinyu found an excuse to leave.
Xu Jiaorong took Ye Qingqing back to her room, letting the housekeeper, Sister Lin, bring up a bowl of ginseng soup.
After finishing the ginseng soup, some color returned to Ye Qingqing’s face, and she gradually calmed down.
“Mom, what should we do now?
I thought I could get rid of Jian Si this time, but instead, I brought myself down.”
Xu Jiaorong didn’t speak immediately, her face serious as she thought for a while, then a light seemed to flash in her mind.
“I have an idea!”
Saying that, she leaned close to Ye Qingqing’s ear and shared her plan.
After hearing her plan, Ye Qingqing still hesitated, “Is it really feasible?
What if she refuses to come back?”
Xu Jiaorong confidently declared, “Don’t worry, I’ll have your dad call her personally.
She has a grudge against us, how could she not recognize your dad!”
Ye Qingqing felt her mother made sense.
A smile finally appeared on her face, a sinister glint crossing her eyes, like a venomous snake lurking in the shadows.
…
Thinking the trending search had hung around long enough, Jian Si sent a message to Jian Sichen, asking him to pull it down.
Within a short time, the heat of the trending search gradually subsided.
At the same time, Shen Qing was reporting the tracking status to Lu Youting.
“Director Lu, Miss Jian indeed sent a message a few minutes ago.
The content was ‘pull down the trending search.’ We wanted to track the phone number she used to send it, but the other party had hidden the IP.
By the time I tried to crack it, the person had gone offline, completely losing the trail.”
Lu Youting’s gaze was ice-cold, his face expressionless.
“Are you certain?”
Shen Qing firmly said, “I am certain.
That’s why I can confidently say Miss Jian knows C.”
Lu Youting’s eyes narrowed slightly.
“Did you find any other information?”
“C is very cunning; unless he lets his guard down, we basically can’t track any information about him.
We can only start with Miss Jian.”
“I understand!
Continue to monitor every move of C, and report to me immediately if anything comes up.”
After ending the call, Lu Youting fell into deep thought.
How could he get information about C from Jian Si?
Suddenly, an idea popped into his mind—
What do you think?
