Chapter 386: 372, Staged Accidents (3)_1 Chapter 386: 372, Staged Accidents (3)_1 âNo refusing me, we havenât been out shopping together for a while now. Come quickly, Iâll send you the address.â Quan Yifei spoke in one breath, afraid Jian Qing would refuse, and quickly hung up the phone.
Hearing the busy tone from her mobile, Jian Qing raised an eyebrow.
Whatever, she had nothing to do at home anyway.
She stretched, patting Snowball on the head, âSnowball, Iâm going out for a bit, play nicely at home by yourself.â
She couldnât possibly bring Snowball to the city center, she didnât want to constantly make headlines.
Snowball whimpered once, clearly bored.
International Shopping Center
Following Quan Yifeiâs instructions, Jian Qing parked her car and looking at the massive crowd, felt overwhelmed.
She took out her mobile, walking while dialling Quan Yifei.
Suddenly, two figures ran out from the side, blocking her path.
âOuch, it hurts so much. My legâs in pain.â
A voice sounding out in pain was heard, intentionally raising the volume to attract the attention of many people.
Jian Qingâs cold gaze fell upon the woman who was sitting on the floor, the corner of her lips curling into a smirk.
Really, the ghosts of the past just refuse to leave.
She hadnât even gone looking for them yet, but they came looking for her instead.
âMom, are you okay?â
An Rong squatted down, looking at Zhou Qi with concern.
âIt hurts so much, I think Iâve hit the bone.â Zhou Qi held her leg, showing an expression of pain.
Whether it was a real injury or fake wasnât certain.
An Rong lifted her head, feigning surprise, âJian Qing, what are you doing here?â
If she wanted to stage an act, it depended on whether there was someone willing to play along.
Thereâs an apt saying, âIâll ignore those who should be playing along.â
Jian Qing perfected this, coldly smiling and looking down at the pair of them from a position of superiority.
âCan An family no longer afford to take care of you guys? Do you have to stage such dramas to make ends meet now?â
To think they dared showcase such poor acting skills, it seemed she had underestimated their shamelessness.
A hint of anger flashed in the depths of An Rongâs eyes, adopting a victimâs pose, âJian Qing, what are you implying? Even though sheâs just your grandmother, you knocked her down. Instead of rushing to help her up and apologizing, youâre making sarcastic remarks. Do you even know how to respect your elders?â
She spoke loudly, as if she wanted everyone around to hear.
Jian Qing noticed the increasing number of people gathering around and frowned. Bypassing them, she was about to leave.
To catch Jian Qing, Zhou Qi had been staking out around Shijin Haoting.
They couldnât possibly let her leave before achieving their goal.
Zhou Qi gave An Rong a look, An Rong understood and swiftly stood, blocking Jian Qingâs path.
âJian Qing, where are you trying to escape without resolving this issue?â
Jian Qing crossed her arms and looked at her coldly, âMove away, or face the consequences.â
An Rong began to waver, then thought about her own company and hardened her gaze to face Jian Qing, âJian Qing, Iâm asking you, were you the one who made Quan Jingwu target our Yang Group?â
Only when she returned home last night did she hear from her husband that the ones targeting their company were not her own elder brother but JK International.
Anyone could guess that the only person who could give such orders, apart from Quan Jingwu, would be none other.
Jian Qingâs lips curled into a smile, âWhat is it to you whether itâs true or not?â
âAlright then, you finally admit it.â An Rong stared at her furiously, gritting her teeth.
She knew that this vixen must have instigated Quan Jingwu. Otherwise, JK International had no reason to strike at them suddenly without being provoked.
Thinking of the drop in stock prices and the financial losses of the past days, her heart sunk even further.
If she couldnât be well off, then neither could Jian Qing.
âEveryone, look at this. This woman bumped her own grandmother and still wants to leave. Can there be such a villainous person in this world?â
The crowd watching the spectacle grew larger, pointing at Jian Qing and whispering amongst themselves.
An Rong looked at Jian Qing, a satisfied expression flashing through her gaze.
âMy leg hurts so much.â Zhou Qi added fuel to the flames with her crying.
Jian Qingâs delicate face iced over, her icy gaze fell upon An Rong and Zhou Qi, âAre you sure sheâs the one I hit?â
If she doesnât react, theyâll really take her for granted.
An Rong watched as more people started to surround and discuss about Jian Qing, becoming more confident, âOf course you hit her, thereâs so many witnesses around, are you still trying to deny it?â
Having not seen Jian Qing for a while, Quan Yifei came out to look for her. When she saw Jian Qing being surrounded, she immediately rushed over.
She pushed her way into the crowd, standing by Jian Qingâs side.
âJian Qing, what happened?â
âSomeone is staging an accident to get money.â She replied coldly.
Quan Yifei followed her gaze and was stunned.
Werenât these Zhou Qi and An Rong?
How come they were here?
She quickly shifted her gaze and asked loudly, âJian Qing, how much are they asking for?â
âOne million.â Jian Qing chuckled, humoring her.
âYouâre talking nonsense, when did I ask for one million from you?â An Rong stood out to refute, then looked at everyone with an aggrieved expression.
âEveryone, donât be fooled by her. Weâre family, yet she bumped into her grandmother, and sheâs treating me, her aunt, with ridicule.â
The gathered crowd may not all be clear-minded, but their ears were definitely soft.
Upon hearing An Rongâs words and seeing Zhou Qiâ pain on the ground, they instinctively sided with An Rong.
Quan Yifeiâs lips quivered,
Damn, she had seen shameless people before but not this shameless.
Only when framing others, do they remember family ties. Where were they the rest of the time?
True enough, those without dignity were simply invincible.
Jian Qing squatted down, her gaze coldly locking onto Zhou Qi. She leaned into Zhou Qiâs ear, âIf I call An Zhe now, who do you think heâd choose to help, you or me?â
Once she finished speaking, Zhou Qiâs pupils dilated.
She turned her head, staring hard at Jian Qing, âYou, you are despicable.â
Jian Qing gave a scornful laugh, âCompared to you, I still fall a little short.â
She stood up, giving An Rong a sidelong glance, âYou have two choices: disappear from my sight immediately, or I call the police.â
âYouâŠ..â
An Rong was ticked off, she just couldnât stand Jian Qingâs haughty demeanor.
Just as she was about to castigate Jian Qing, Zhou Qi stopped her.
âArong, my leg hurts so much. Letâs go to the hospital.â
An Rong looked at her in disbelief, stammering, âMom, what do you mean?â
With everyone siding with them, this was the best opportunity to destroy Jian Qingâs reputation. A chance like this wouldnât come again next time.
âJian Qing didnât do it on purpose, letâs forget about it and go.â Zhou Qi pulled An Rongâs hand as she pretended to struggle, acting as though she had hurt her leg.
An Zhe always despised her now. If Jian Qing really called him over, An Zhe certainly wouldnât stand with her.
Instead of this, sheâd rather act and go to the hospital, win the sympathy of her family members. Perhaps if she added some details later, An Zhe might soften and come to see her.
