Heartwarming Aristocratic Marriage: Influential Master's Wife-Chasing Strategy Chapter 565 - Confess For Leniency

Chapter 565 Confess For Leniency

Duan Linbai hummed a song and walked toward the ward unrestrainedly.

What had happened over the past few days had almost made him depressed to death. An object falling from a high height had almost hit Tang Jingci, and she had even become ‘blind’. Everyone had tortured trash together, but they actually didn’t bring him to play? This was too much.

He had always been worried that Tang w.a.n.gjin wouldn’t be willing to cooperate with him. Even so, he didn’t want the He family to be the one to s.n.a.t.c.h from him.

If the Tang family had a better business partner, he would admit defeat. But the He family had nothing. He would definitely vomit to death if he lost to these people.

On the way back to the ward, he was still sending messages in the group chat. (Let me tell you. I am 2.8 meters tall today. I’m so handsome that He Maozhen doesn’t even dare to fart.]

(Say, isn’t this person despicable? His family is already in such a mess, yet he actually came to s.n.a.t.c.h from me. I’ve spent so long making this wedding dress. If He Maozhen wears it, how am I going to survive in the capital?) [s.n.a.t.c.hing from me? Who gave him the face? I pushed him back. You didn’t see how handsome I was.]

He spoke for a long time, but the group chat was silent. There were four people in the group chat. Other than him, who liked to sleep in, the other three were people who slept early and woke up early. He didn’t believe that no one saw his messages.

(Hey, I’ve talked for so long. Someone come out to support me!)

Fu Sinian: [Impressive!]

Jing Hanchuan: [Sure.]

Fu Chen sent a thumbs-up emoji.

Duan Linbai was so angry that he almost fainted. F*ck, I’m going to be beautiful alone in the future. I’m not playing with you guys anymore.

He entered the ward, and Qiao Xiyan went out to settle the discharge procedures. Only the Tang father and daughter were here.

“Linbai, we’ve troubled you this time.” Tang w.a.n.gjin smiled. “You’re welcome. It’s my duty.” Duan Linbai kept feeling that the way Tang w.a.n.gjin looked at him was strange, and his expression was very complicated. Did I go overboard just now?

“Mr. Tang, actually, what I meant just now wasn’t that you had to cooperate with me. It’s just that the He family isn’t a good choice. “You’ve come here personally, and Miss Tang still needs to recuperate. You can stay in the capital to investigate more.

“Even if you decide not to cooperate with me in the end, I will still congratulate you.”

Duan Linbai was always open and aboveboard and the kind of person who was willing to accept his loss.

Tang w.a.n.gjin smiled. “We’ve already signed the letter of intent. But I do want to spend more time with my daughter these days. In a few days, I’ll treat you to a meal personally, and we can talk about our cooperation properly.”

His words made the cooperation a reality. Duan Linbai was overjoyed.

When Qiao Xiyan returned, he saw Duan Linbai and frowned slightly. When he was scolding people just now, he was clearly domineering and full of strength. Why is he smiling like a fool now?

Duan Linbai sent the three of them back to the hotel before posting on his Moments smugly to express how happy he was now.

A few days later, the Duan Group announced that it would be collaborating with an international master. In addition to holding a design exhibition, there would also be some joint designs.

***

On the day of the contract signing, the Duan Group held a grand signing ceremony

Song Fengwan had no cla.s.ses in the afternoon and accompanied Tang Jingci in the hotel. The signing ceremony was playing on the TV.

“Uncle-Master is very handsome in a suit.” Song Fengwan watched the TV while propping her chin on her hand.

“He’s okay. It’s just that he’s getting older and not paying as much attention to his image. He has a big beer belly.”

“I can’t tell.”

“That’s because of the clothes. Otherwise, he would look like he’s a few months pregnant.” Tang Jingci smiled. At the mention of pregnancy, she remembered hearing from Duan Linbai in the hospital that Mrs. He was pregnant.

During this period of time, she had been cooperating with the police investigation. She had more or less found out all kinds of information about the He family. When He Xi got into trouble, many of the He family’s scandals had been dug up, including the matter of Yu Manxi being abandoned.

“I heard that Mrs. He is pregnant again? Is it true?” Tang Jingci asked.

“Yes, it’s been more than two months.” Song Fengwan stared at the TV.

“The He family hasn’t told anyone.”

“Isn’t there a saying that it’s not easy to keep a child when the news is announced within the first three months of pregnancy? They probably want to wait three months before announcing it.” Tang Jingci nodded. She wanted to ask if it would affect Yu Manxi. After all, this person had a close relations.h.i.+p with Song Fengwan. But at this moment, she heard a knock on the door…

“I’ll open the door!” Song Fengwan quickly walked to the door. When she opened it, it was actually Qiao Xiyan. “Cousin, didn’t you go out with Uncle-Master? Why did you come back?”

Tang Jingci was sitting on the bed eating sliced mangoes. When she heard that Qiao Xiyan was here, she was so frightened that she dropped the plastic fork in her hand.

Recently, her father had been around, and he didn’t book another room. He had always slept in the same room as Qiao Xiyan, so she and Qiao Xiyan didn’t have time to be alone.

“Uncle-Master is going to have dinner with the people from the Duan Group tonight. I didn’t want to join in the fun, so I came back first. Is she inside?”

“Big Sister Tang is here.” Song Fengwan hurriedly moved aside.

“You don’t have cla.s.s this afternoon?” Qiao Xiyan raised his eyebrows.

“No.” Song Fengwan smiled bitterly, feeling uneasy. “Then come in. I have something to ask you two.” Qiao Xiyan entered the room and slammed the door shut.

At this moment, the TV was playing the contract signing. There was applause, but the atmosphere in the room was strange and tense.

Song Fengwan and Tang Jingci sat obediently like students waiting for a teacher to criticize them.

A storm was approaching, and dark clouds were gathering

Qiao Xiyan took off his coat and rolled up his sleeves.

Song Fengwan lowered her head. I’m going to die. Didn’t Uncle-Master say that they would be eating out tonight? That’s why he asked me to come and accompany Big Sister Tang. If I had known that Cousin would come back early, I wouldn’t have come!

Qiao Xiyan found a chair and sat down. He took out a cigarette from his pocket and put it in his mouth. His facial features were very straight, and his brows were slightly furrowed. His shoulders and his hips were narrow. He was leaning against the back of the chair with his back arched. His s.h.i.+rt pressed tightly against his abdomen, and the lines of his abdominal muscles were vaguely visible…

They were not obvious, but they were still very eye-catching.

Tang Jingci bit her lip. She inexplicably thought of the day he took off his s.h.i.+rt. His figure…

Very impressive.

“Cousin, stop smoking. There’s still a patient in the room,” Song Fengwan muttered softly.

“You can’t smell it?” Qiao Xiyan’s eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at Tang Jingci.

“I…” Tang Jingci coughed twice.

Song Fengwan nudged her. Don’t be a coward. If you’re a coward now, you can only take the beating pa.s.sively later.

“I… I don’t like it!”

Qiao Xiyan looked at their interaction. “You don’t like it…”

Tang Jingci didn’t say anything.

He reached out and threw the unlit cigarette into the trash can not far away. “Then I won’t smoke anymore.”

Song Fengwan was dumbfounded. He threw it away?

She knew better than anyone how much her cousin liked to smoke. His room and workplace were often full of smoke. He had been smoking for at least ten years, but he threw away the cigarette?

It was like she was seeing him for the first time.

“Let’s get down to business.” Qiao Xiyan crossed his arms and looked at the two people opposite him.

“Cousin, what are you talking about?” Song Fengwan was on her deathbed and still wanted to struggle.

“Song Fengwan, there’s no use pretending to be stupid. Fu Chen isn’t here. No one can save

you.”

“Cousin-” Song Fengwan softened her voice and deliberately acted cute.

“Who’s going first?” This trick didn’t work on Qiao Xiyan. Tang Jingci held a plastic fork and kept poking the mango in front of her. “Senior Brother, actually, this matter is all my fault. It has nothing to do with Wanwan. I wanted to hide it from you.

“If He Xi knew that my eyes had recovered, she might have caused trouble again. So I might as well pretend to be blind and let her become arrogant. And then…

“I can lure the snake out of its hole.”

“Was this your idea?” Qiao Xiyan looked at Song Fengwan.

Song Fengwan was dumbfounded. Why are you looking at me?

This is Big Sister Tang’s idea. Why are you looking at me like that? Could it be…

In your heart, I am already that bad?

“I thought of it,” Tang Jingci said firmly.

“You don’t have to take the blame for her.”

Song Fengwan was furious. “What do you mean? I’m your sister!”

“Cousin!”

Song Fengwan was speechless and couldn’t continue talking anymore.

“When could you see?” Qiao Xiyan s.h.i.+fted his target to Tang Jingci. “You could see when you stayed with me, right?”

Qiao Xiyan had been thinking a lot recently. Ever since she returned to her room, she had been staying in it. He originally thought that she couldn’t see and was in a bad mood, but now that he thought about it, it was really strange. “Yes.” Tang Jingci could only nod.

Qiao Xiyan suddenly smiled sinisterly…

“Let’s go out for dinner first. After dinner, Wanwan, you can go back first. She and I…

“… will talk alone!”

Tang Jingci’s heart felt as though someone had clenched it violently. Her entire body trembled as she leaned against Song Fengwan beside her.

“Cousin, talking alone…” Song Fengwan couldn’t wait to run away at this moment, but she couldn’t appear too mean, so she could only bite the bullet and say, “I’m afraid it’s not good…”

“It won’t be suitable for children. Do you still want to stay?”

The moment these words came out… Song Fengwan went crazy, and Tang Jingci was dumbfounded.
