Beijing-Hong Kong Affair

Chapter 48: Crazy and Insulting
The huge box fell silent in an instant.

The whole place was silent except for the chuckle of Zhou Jiatong who was holding the microphone. Her voice spread throughout the room through the microphone.

"Lin Xian is a thief. She not only steals things, but also steals hearts. How long have you known each other, and you're getting married right away? Don't be ridiculous, Jiang Yunian, you're just using her to get revenge on me."

"Sister Jiatong, you've drunk too much, stop talking."

Lu Xiyuan tried to snatch the microphone from Zhou Jiatong, but she pushed it away forcefully.

"Anian, I know that my leaving without saying goodbye has left you with a psychological trauma. Isn't it enough for me to apologize? Stop playing around, okay? Aren't you with her just to piss me off?"

Jiang Yunian's face was as gloomy as water, and his deep voice rang beside Lin Xian's ears, "Zhou Jiatong, shut up."

Lin Xian let go of Jiang Yunian's hand, stepped aside, and kept some distance from him.

The lighting hid her well, and her black dress blended in with the dim room.

Her fingertips pressed against the hem of her skirt were trembling.

She had guessed it long ago, but now she heard the cruel truth with her own ears. She was stunned.

She's just a stand-in.

That's why Jiang Yunian is so nice to me.

What a ridiculous and absurd reason.

Seeing that the situation was not good, someone hurried to help stop Zhou Jiatong, "Sister Jiatong, Brother Yunian said that this is his wife, you should listen to what he says first."

Zhou Jiatong ignored anyone's attempt to stop her and looked straight at Lin Xian.

"Lin Xian, you shameless bitch, you took the suitcase I gave to Jiang Yunian. Did you know that there were photos of me in that suitcase?"

Zhou Jiatong kicked over the black suitcase next to her, "Come on, everyone, take a look at how this bitch seduces people!"

The suitcase was clearly set with a password, but it was opened violently.

All of Lin Xian's personal belongings were exposed.

"Turn on the lights!"

Zhou Jiatong was hysterical. Someone turned on the lights and it was as bright as day.

Zhou Jiatong squatted on the ground and picked up Lin Xian's ID card. "She's only 22 years old, but she's so scheming. Let me show you her underwear and her black stockings. And the photo of me with her face painted on."

Lin Xian moved her lips but didn't utter a word.

Those were not hers; Zhou Jiatong framed her.

But she couldn't hear her own voice, her ears were ringing, and she felt like she was being sucked into a vacuum.

Zhou Jiatong looked at her with red eyes, "You deliberately seduced Ah Nian, didn't you know he was rich? Can I give it to you? Is five million enough? Or do you want more?"

No, she wasn't doing it for the money.

She and Jiang Yunian helped each other. She needed to go to school, and he just needed a wife.

She couldn't say these words.

In fact, she did benefit from Jiang Yunian's financial help and had no way to defend herself.

"You are really, so scheming."

Zhou Jiatong is a supermodel, but her acting skills are not bad. She has received professional training, and the people present have known her for many years.

After the play was over, everyone naturally sided with her.

Zhou Jiatong continued his accusation with great emotion.

Lin Xian didn't hear a word she said afterwards. She only knew that she had embarrassed Jiang Yunian today.

"Doctor Jiang, I'm leaving first."

Lin Xian's eyes were not focused, and she didn't care whether Jiang Yunian heard it clearly or not, and hurried out.

There is no other way but to escape.

She wasn't used to wearing high heels yet, and every step she took was excruciatingly painful.

Lu Xiyuan wanted to follow, but unexpectedly a dark shadow passed by and walked towards Lin Xian faster than her.

Ji Hanzhou grabbed Lin Xian's wrist and shouted forcefully, "Follow me."

Jiang Yunian and Ji Hanzhou looked at each other. He had to stay to deal with this mess, so he could only ask Ji Hanzhou to take good care of her.

Lin Xian had no idea how this incident was handled, nor did she want to know.

It was a long time later that she found out the truth about what happened in the box that night.

But at that time, these were no longer important. After leaving the box and isolating herself from the suffocating air inside, Lin Xian leaned against the wall and gasped for air. The feeling of lack of oxygen was only then relieved.

She didn't show any fear in front of so many people just now, which was an exceptional performance.

Who knew there would be such an unexpected ending.

Ji Hanzhou's voice sounded unexpectedly, "Open your hands."

"doing what?"

Lin Xian glanced at Ji Hanzhou warily, only to see that he was holding her ID in his hand.

"Give it back to me, thank you."

"Thank you is not enough. I just brought you out without eating anything in there. Please treat me to a meal."

Lin Xian's face didn't look good, so she tried to be calm and asked, "What do you want to eat?"

"Whatever. I don't like this kind of occasion either. If Lu Xiyuan hadn't said you were coming, I wouldn't have shown up."

Ji Hanzhou glanced at the necklace on Lin Xian's neck. It was a collection of pieces from a famous designer, and there was only one of its kind in the world.

Jiang Yunian is really willing to give up.

Lin Xian had to go back to Beijing the next day, and she couldn't do it without her ID, so she had to compromise, "I don't have any money, so I can only treat you to a meal at a tea restaurant."

"It doesn't matter what you eat, it's who you eat with that matters."

Lin Xian was too incapable of thinking so much. "I'll send a message first, then leave."

She knew that Jiang Yunian certainly didn't expect Zhou Jiatong to go crazy.

Today's farce has something to do with her.

If she hadn't come here, Jiang Yunian wouldn't have been ridiculed, and Lu Xiyuan's party wouldn't have been a mess.

Lin Xian sent messages to Jiang Yunian and Lu Xiyuan respectively, then left with Ji Hanzhou, holding up her skirt.

Lin Xian walked unsteadily because her high heels were not very stable. When she first came, Jiang Yunian supported her the whole time.

Ji Hanzhou wanted to help her, but was rejected by Lin Xian.

"Professor Ji, I am your friend's wife. It is not appropriate for us to be so close."

Ji Hanzhou laughed very lightly.

After tonight, he didn't think Lin Xian could still be Jiang Yunian's wife.

Isn't it their reputation that matters most to those powerful people?

A person with a history of scandals and no background is not worthy of entering a wealthy family.

Even if there is a child, it will be an illegitimate child with no inheritance rights.

Ji Hanzhou couldn't help but feel a little excited about what Jiang Yunian would do.

Would he go against the entire Jiang family just for a substitute?

There is a tea restaurant downstairs of the club. Lin Xian didn't say a word during the meal, and Ji Hanzhou made small talk.

Compared to the lively atmosphere at the next table, their table could be said to be deserted.

Lin Xian didn’t have much of an appetite and barely touched the plate of Singapore Fried Noodles she ordered.

Ji Hanzhou, on the other hand, finished a bowl of shrimp wonton noodles and directly transferred half of Lin Xian's portion into his own bowl.

Lin Xian was wearing a dress, which didn't fit in with the atmosphere of the tea restaurant.

"Finish the rest and I'll take you back."

Lin Xian glanced at Ji Hanzhou with a complicated expression.

The main reason why she was sitting here was to get her ID photo back, and to wait for Jiang Yunian to come out.

However, she didn't see Jiang Yunian until she returned home.

Lin Xian sat in the living room waiting for a long time and received a call from Lu Xiyuan.

"Sister-in-law, I'm sorry, my brother may not be able to come back tonight. He told me not to worry, he will take care of everything, you should go to bed early."

Lin Xian held her breath and listened to Lu Xiyuan's words, then asked in a low voice: "What happened to him?"

　Asking for various tickets~

　　There will be another one later
