Chapter Nineteen Confrontation

  Jiang Xue'er received a call from Qiao Anna after leaving Ran Lingfeng's house.

  "Hello."

  "Jiang Xue'er, I'm Qiao Anna, let's meet up."

  Jiang Xue'er was a bit strange. Normally she and Qiao Anna didn't have any dealings with each other, what did she want to see her for? "Why do I need to meet you?"

  Joanna said with a smile: "You'll know when you see me, I'm waiting for you at Rui Xing Coffee." Joanna sat alone in the coffee shop, looking at the photos and thinking to herself: "Jiang Xue'er, I don't believe it. When you see these photos, you still want to marry my brother?"

  Jin Ruo En slowly came to in the Heng Qing Hotel, where she had been dragged by several men. She realized that her body was completely naked and began to feel dizzy, sitting on the bed trying to recall what happened last night. Clearly, she had been drinking with Jiang Xue Er, but then...then..., in a daze, she remembered being helped into a car by strangers and then raped by several men. The more she thought about it, the more distressed she became, and Jin Ruo En began to cry.

  "Hello, Ruo En." It was a call from Chen Xiao Hui. After Jin Ruo En picked up the phone, she just cried and didn't say anything.

  At this time, Xiaohui hastily asked: "Ruo En, what's wrong with you?"

  Jin Ruo'en cried and said: "Xiao Hui, I'm at Hengqing Hotel, can you come over for a moment?"

  Chen Xiaohui knew something was wrong as soon as she heard it, "Wait for me, I'll be right there." Chen Xiaohui hastily rushed out the door and coincidentally ran into Che Shangqiu who had driven over to find her. Che Shangqiu saw Chen Xiaohui's flustered state and quickly asked, "Xiaohui, where are you off to in such a hurry?"

  Chen Xiaohui hastily said: "Jin Ruoen seems to have encountered something, now at Hengqing Hotel, you arrived just in time, hurry and take me over."

  "Okay, get on the bus quickly." On the bus, Chen Xiaohui knew that Jin Ruoen had an accident, but she didn't dare to think about it in a very bad way. Since last night, when looking for Jiang Xueer, she found out that she wasn't there. Jin Ruoen's family called in the morning to ask if she was at her house, and then called her, not expecting her to have an accident, but still hoping that she wouldn't have one.

  Chen Xiaohui and Che Shangqiu arrived at the hotel, found Jin Ruoen, saw her wrapped in a quilt, crying all the time. "Ruoen." Chen Xiaohui knew what had happened to Jin Ruoen when she saw this situation, so she went forward and hugged her, letting her cry freely.

  Che Shangqi's face turned gloomy as he said, "Who did this? How dare someone do such a thing. Once I catch him, he won't be able to get away."

  Chen Xiaohui asked Jin Ruoen: "What's going on? Have you offended someone?"

  "I don't know." Jin Ruo En's heart sank, how did she know what was going on.

  Che Shangqi saw a camera at the door when entering the hotel, then went out to check on this matter. Chen Xiaohui helped Jin Ruoen into the bathroom to rinse off, after rinsing, Che Shangqi also arrived.

  "Have you found anything?" Chen Xiaohui asked.

  "No, the outdoor camera is broken. There's one that can be seen, but it can't see people clearly. Let's send her back first and talk about it later." said Che Shangju.

  "Alright." Xiao Hui supported Jin Ruo En and Che Shang Juin took charge of driving them.

  Jiang Xue'er arrived at the Rui Xing Coffee Shop as scheduled, saw Qiao Anna sitting in a corner, Jiang Xue'er walked over, didn't greet her, but directly sat down, "Speak, what's this about?"

  "What's wrong? Can't I come find you for a cup of tea without something being up?" Joanna said gruffly.

  "Of course, waiter." When the waiter came over, "Give me a latte".

  "Alright, just a moment," the waiter replied.

  "I really didn't expect that you, a servant, could become a millionaire. It's truly beyond people's expectations." Joanna said sarcastically.

  Since Jiang Xue'er became the princess of San Yang Group, Madam Ruan's original intention to marry off Qiao family was also cancelled. Qiao Anna was so angry that she couldn't sleep, and what made her even angrier was that Ruan Lingfeng thought of Jiang Xue'er everywhere, not even giving her a glance.

  "You can't imagine what other things might happen. Who knows, maybe the phoenix flying in the sky that day will turn into a little chicken underground." Jiang Xue'er retorted.

  Joanna felt more and more uncomfortable as she listened, Jiang Xue'er actually dared to speak to her like this, "Is that so? But there are some mountain chickens who think they can fly in the sky just by plucking a few colorful feathers. If you're not careful, you'll fall down."

  "Oh, is that so? Anna, I didn't come here to quarrel with you today. If there's nothing else, then I'll leave." Jiang Xue'er saw that Qiao Anna was intentionally picking a fight and didn't bother to argue back in consideration of the Ruan family's face.

  Joanna saw Jiang Xue'er stand up and hastily said: "Wait a minute, Jiang Xue'er, what's the hurry? Are you afraid?"

  Jiang Xue'er said: "Afraid? What is there for me to be afraid of? I just don't want to waste my time on some unrelated people and things."

  Joanna said angrily: "Jiang Xue'er, don't be too smug, do you really think Ling Feng likes you? I think you're just too naive and too innocent."

  "I don't want to hear your nonsense." Jiang Xue'er walked towards the door with her bag, and Qiao Anna chased after her: "Jiang Xue'er, I want you to leave Ran Lingfeng, never appear in front of him again." Qiao Anna said sternly.

  Jiang Xue'er replied stiffly: "Why should I listen to you? How could you, who can't even get the love you want, ask someone else to give up their own love? Joanne, do you still have any shame? If you're capable, go and fight for it yourself. Why are you asking others to give up their love? What right do you have?" When it came to giving up Ran Lingfeng, Jiang Xue'er spoke from the bottom of her heart. She really didn't want to let him go. Although Ran Lingfeng had a bad temper, he still cared about Jiang Xue'er deeply, and she truly loved him. How could she possibly give him up just because of someone else's words?

  "What right do you have? Just because I grew up with Ling Feng, we were childhood sweethearts. If it weren't for your appearance, if it weren't for you this fox spirit coming to seduce him, would he have fallen for you? Let me tell you, you're just his plaything. Look at yourself, you look like a cheap slave, and you really don't know what kind of despicable means your parents used to get their wealth?"

  Joanna's words enraged Jiang Xue'er, who slapped Joanna in the face with one hand and said: "What are you, Joanna? What right do you have to talk about my parents? This slap is from your parents." Jiang Xue'er raised her hand again and gave Joanna another ear slap. "This slap is from my dad and mom. You can say whatever you want about me, but I won't let you talk about my parents."

  "Jiang Xue'er, you'll regret this. The two slaps I got today, I'll return them double. And when you see this, you'll understand." Qiao Anna tossed a file bag at Jiang Xue'er and walked away.

  Jiang Xue'er looked at the large package of file bags, wondering what it could be. She really hoped it wasn't something bad, but after hearing Joanna's words earlier, Jiang Xue'er finally understood. How could nothing have happened between them when they had grown up together and lived in the same place since childhood? Was Ruan Lingfeng just playing with her all along? Was she just his plaything?
