Chapter 641 - 641 627 Egg against Stone (1)_1

Chapter 641: 627, Egg against Stone (1)_1 Chapter 641: 627, Egg against Stone (1)_1 Jian Qing lightly shook her head, saying, “It’s not Luoluo, it’s a friend of mine.”

Upon hearing this, the old man from the An family let out a sigh of relief, turned his head to look at Yang Xiang, his face showing severity, “Yang Xiang, what have you done again? Didn’t you listen to what I said?”

Yang Xiang bit her lip hard, resentment brewing in her heart.

“Grandfather, I know you favor Jian Qing, but you can’t just blindly believe her words. It’s too unfair to me,” she protested.

“Yes, Xiang’er is correct.” An Rong stepped forward, staring at Jian Qing, her eyes wide open in animosity. “Jian Qing, if you cannot provide evidence, then don’t slander our Xiang’er.”

“Evidence?”

Jian Qing’s sharp eyes swept across Yang Xiang, the corner of her lips curling up with a hint of mockery. “Want evidence? That is easy. Yang Xiang, you teamed up with Daisy to kidnap Xiya, resulting in her premature delivery. How do you suppose I should settle this score with you?”

Yang Xiang was stunned for a moment, a tidal wave of shock rising within her.

How could Jian Qing know this in such detail?

Could Daisy have confessed their plans?

“You even dare to kidnap the internationally renowned photographer Xiya. Yang Xiang, how bold are you?” Jian Qing continued.

Yang Xiang clenched her hands, her mind quickly racing.

Since Jian Qing had come knocking at her door, no amount of defending herself would do any good. It would be easier to push all the blame onto Daisy.

Deciding on this course of action, she raised her head to meet Jian Qing’s icy gaze, her throat seemed to be seized by an invisible hand, making her breath hitch.

She steadied her mind, her earlier restlessness dissipated, she slowly said, “The kidnapping of Xiya has nothing to do with me. I’m a victim too. It was Daisy who forced me into this. After I helped her, my conscience was bothered, and so I called the police. I have the recording. It can prove that she made me do it. The police have that recording. If you don’t believe me, you can go and check it.”

Upon hearing her admission, the faces of the people around them registered shock.

Especially the Zhou family, their faces were unbearably awkward.

“Then tell us, what did Daisy use to threaten you, hmm?” Jian Qing’s lips curled slightly, watching her with leisure interest.

Let’s see how far she can go in this lie.

“She, she…” Yang Xiang started stammering, her hatred for Jian Qing deepening.

“Xiang’er, don’t be afraid, mum is here. Speak boldly. Even if some people are backed by power, mum will not allow anyone to falsely accuse you.” An Rong defended Yang Xiang, glaring pointedly at Jian Qing.

There’s no fear like being on a team with an incompetent ally.

An Rong unknowingly just made things worse for Yang Xiang without even realizing it.

“I, I was feeling unwell that day and went to the hospital and coincidentally ran into Daisy. As a public figure, she threatened that if I didn’t help her, she would spill the beans to the reporters about me going to the hospital. I was afraid of causing a scandal that might trouble my family, so I was confused and trusted her. But I really didn’t do it on purpose. I also called the police afterwards.” Yang Xiang said, while hiding behind An Rong, avoiding Jian Qing’s gaze.

“Xiang’er, why didn’t you mention this before? Just who is this Daisy, to be so scheming and malicious?” An Rong cursed Daisy, each sentence more vulgar than the previous.

Jian Qing’s expression was calm, she raised her eyelids to look at Yang Xiang, asking, “Are you done?”

Yang Xiang’s face flashed with an angry expression but when her eyes met Quan Jingwu standing next to Jian Qing, the insults she had been about to spew were swallowed back down.

“Yang Xiang, the truth I found seems slightly different from what you said, why don’t you listen to what I have to say?” Jian Qing suggested nonchalantly.

“Previously, Xiya slapped you, and you’ve held a grudge against her ever since. After that, Daisy sought you out and told you that Xiya knows about your abortion. You were afraid that Xiya would expose that you had been pregnant and had an abortion, which would greatly tarnish your reputation and status. After weighing the pros and cons, you agreed to cooperate with Daisy. However, Daisy didn’t know that you had your own plans. After executing your plan, you called the police to pin the blame entirely on Daisy. You even edited the call history between you and Daisy to falsify a voice recording of Daisy threatening you. In this way, even if things got exposed, you could countercharge Daisy and claim you were coerced. Relying on the strength of the Yang and An families, you wouldn’t face a jail sentence, and this incident would be suppressed. Did I state the facts correctly?”

Yang Xiang stumbled slightly, bumping against An Rong

She lowered her head, her eyes wide with astonishment, as if she hadn’t expected Jian Qing to read her mind so accurately.

That’s right, that was indeed her plan. As long as she pushed all the blame onto Daisy, and used the power and influence of the Yang and An families to suppress the matter, she could deal with both Xiya and Daisy without suffering any repercussions herself, managing to kill two birds with one stone.

However, she didn’t expect that Jian Qing would uncover everything so clearly, revealing all her thoughts and strategies.

Off to the side, Zhao Xuan glanced sideways at Yang Xiang, a touch of ridicule flitting through her eyes.

An Rong was a fool, and her daughter was no different, epitomizing the saying ‘like mother, like daughter’—incompetence at its finest.

Jian Qing was in her prime, and challenging her now would be like an egg smashing against a rock, sheer overconfidence.

It looked like Yang Xiang’s good days were coming to an end.

An Rong took a look at Jian Qing, then at Yang Xiang. Seeing her lowered head, her heart skipped a beat.

“Jian Qing, all these are your speculations. Without concrete evidence, we aren’t going to believe a word you say.” Zhou Qi chimed in.

Jian Qing replied, “Whether you believe it or not doesn’t matter. The evidence will be here when the police arrive, you can check with them.”

Hearing the mention of the word “police”, Yang Xiang’s back stiffened, her usually calm demeanor crumbling.

She brushed past An Rong standing protectively in front of her, staring directly at Jian Qing, her eyes burning with an uncontrollable rage.

“So what if I did it? Why should that cheap woman Xiya slap me? Who does she think she is? Xiya’s premature delivery serves her right. She steals other people’s boyfriends, becomes pregnant, and she’s the most shameless one.”

The situation had already escalated this far and there was no use hiding anything anymore. Why should she remain subservient towards Jian Qing?

Jian Qing’s black eyes gave off a chill as she strode towards her.

“What…what are you going to do?” An Rong, who had experienced Jian Qing’s brutal methods firsthand, lost all her courage when she took a step closer.

Jian Qing ignored her, bypassing her to stop in front of Yang Xiang.

A powerful aura swept over her, causing Yang Xiang to shudder uncontrollably while steadily backing away.

“You…”

Jian Qing looked down at her, the corners of her lips pulling into a cold arc.

Without another word, she formed a claw with her hand and swiftly grabbed Yang Xiang’s throat.

Her slender pale neck seemed like it would snap with just a little more pressure.

“Ah!”

An Rong screamed, eyes wide with terror as she stared at Jian Qing.

“Jian Qing, what are you doing? Let go of Xiang’er right now!”
