Ji Zhixian silently took out an envelope and placed it on the table: “Consider this compensation for breach of contract.” Then he left the bar. Watching his figure disappear around the corner, Lin Xiaoman collapsed onto the chair. She picked up the envelope from the table. When she opened it, she was stunned.
What was just placed on the table were several photographs. For Lin Xiaoman, they were a fatal weapon against Ji Yuan. If Yan Jiu hadn’t told him that he had seen Ji Yuan in a friend’s party photo, he wouldn’t have known that Ji Yuan had such evidence. However, those party photos were hard for ordinary people to obtain, and Lin Xiaoman definitely couldn’t get them.
He had thought these photos would make Lin Xiaoman realize she couldn’t leave him, but unexpectedly, they became compensation for canceling the contract. Ji Zhixian admitted he had been impulsive. But whenever something involved Tang Feifei, he had always been zero-tolerance. No one could replace Tang Feifei.
Ji Zhixian decided he would no longer care about anything concerning Lin Xiaoman, this ignorant woman. Even if she looked pitiful, he would absolutely not soften.
Xiao Bai nervously watched Ji Zhixian leave. Although Ji Zhixian always exuded a cold, unapproachable aura, he had never seen him as intimidating as today.
Ji Zhixian’s casual glance made him afraid.
He wondered who was so unlucky to provoke him.
Xiao Bai mourned for that person as he entered the bar, only to find Lin Xiaoman alone.
Xiao Bai nervously walked over, and before he could speak, he saw the photos in Lin Xiaoman’s hand and became excited: “Where did these come from?”
Lin Xiaoman glanced at him, looking dazed: “You’re here?”
“Could it be…” Xiao Bai thought of Ji Zhixian but didn’t dare mention him, “Xiaoman, what’s your relationship with that person?”
Lin Xiaoman looked at him, puzzled.
Xiao Bai continued, “The one who just walked out? You know, scandals are poison for you, and that person doesn’t care about these things. You must absolutely not get involved with him… If you two break up, you’ll definitely be the one suffering.”
Xiao Bai looked worried and afraid. Lin Xiaoman perked up a bit: “You’re overthinking. We have no relationship.”
“Don’t lie to me…”
” Xiao Bai seemed unconvinced, earnestly advising, “You girls are easily mesmerized by such men, but I still have to say, your career is on the rise. Love is something you can’t touch.”
Lin Xiaoman’s eyes brightened, and she smiled softly: “Yes.”
She didn’t need love at all right now. Men would only slow down her revenge.
“I’m being serious,” Xiao Bai was somewhat dissatisfied.
“I’m answering you seriously,” Lin Xiaoman patted his shoulder and waved the photos, “Tell Xiao Chi, it’s time to act.”
These photos were the best tool to deal with Ji Yuan.
But they couldn’t come from Lin Xiaoman’s hands.
First, such photos were difficult to obtain, and if they leaked from her, she would definitely be targeted. Second, she was now on the opposite side of Ji Yuan, with neither admitting the drug concealment, so if she released them, people might not believe her.
So she needed to handle this through someone else.
The next day, after Xiao Bai spread the news to the company, Lin Xiaoman smiled when she saw Chu Daizi arrive furiously.
“I knew you weren’t anything good!” Chu Daizi burst into the room, closed the door behind her, and roared, “How dare you, how dare you repeatedly do such despicable things!”
“Hmm?” Lin Xiaoman played innocent, “What are you talking about?”
“Don’t pretend you don’t know! You had dinner with my brother-in-law last night!” Chu Daizi grabbed Lin Xiaoman’s clothes, “You already have a sugar daddy, so why are you still trying to steal mine? Why!
Lin Xiaoman removed her hand calmly: “We just had dinner. Nothing happened.”
“Today it’s dinner, who knows what will happen tomorrow?” Chu Daizi grabbed her bag to hit her, “You bad woman! Bad woman!”
“Enough!” Lin Xiaoman caught her hand. Chu Daizi’s hits were quite painful, and she frowned, “I have absolutely no interest in your man.”
“You’re not going to eat with him anymore!” Chu Daizi tried to break free, but she had never succeeded before, and this time she was also firmly controlled. Her eyes turned red with anger, “Do you think I’m a three-year-old child?”
“It’s because he came to talk to me about Ji Yuan’s matter,” Lin Xiaoman pushed her onto the sofa, “He said he hopes we won’t make things too ugly between us.”
“Ji Yuan?” Chu Daizi frowned, “Why did Yue Ge come to you about his affairs?”
“How would I know?” Lin Xiaoman raised her eyebrows innocently, “But during dinner, Ji Yuan even called your man, and they seemed quite intimate. Oh, the name your man saved for him is ‘Yuan’.”
Chu Daizi’s mind went blank. She knew this name; sometimes when she was with Yue Ge, this call would occasionally come in, and Yue Ge said it was from a subordinate, and she had believed it.
Now thinking about it, Yue Ge’s tone when answering the phone was incredibly gentle, not at all like how one would speak to a subordinate. How could she not have realized!
“You’re looking for trouble with me, but I want to tell you, can you control your man?”
I was clearly framed, so why should I have to swallow my grievances?”
“Go tell him, don’t think he can threaten me just because he has power and status. I won’t submit…”
Lin Xiaoman fully displayed her acting skills, portraying an innocent person being threatened, but Chu Daizi could no longer hear a single word.
Before, Yue Ge had said Lin Xiaoman was interesting and that he was interested in her. Now he was actually threatening Lin Xiaoman because of Ji Yuan. It seemed Yue Ge truly loved that dog of a man.
What did that make her? He had said he had never met a woman as cute as her, yet he would hurt such a cute woman like this?
No, Yue Ge, such a gentle person, wouldn’t do such a thing. No, it definitely must be that despicable woman Lin Xiaoman deliberately trying to drive a wedge between them. Yes, Lin Xiaoman was so cunning; it must be her scheme.
“Don’t try to fool me,” Chu Daizi stood up, leaning to one side, though unsteady, with a look of refusal to admit defeat. “Do you think I’ll fall for it?”
Lin Xiaoman was surprised she would have a moment of clarity at this time, unexpectedly raising her eyebrows.
Chu Daizi laughed: “I knew you were lying to me!”
“I have evidence,” Lin Xiaoman also laughed, “Do you know why I met your Yue Ge?”
Chu Daizi was stunned, saying nothing.
“Because I know there are photos of Ji Yuan participating in an overseas Haitian party in your Yue Ge’s phone.”
Once these photos are released, everyone will know about Ji Yuan’s drug use,” Lin Xiaoman spoke while watching Chu Daizi’s expression. “I originally wanted to get his phone through this opportunity, but he destroyed the phone to protect Ji Yuan. Of course, you can choose not to believe me; just go back and check if your Yue Ge has changed phones.”
Lin Xiaoman leaned slightly closer to Chu Daizi and whispered: “Figure out who your real opponent is; don’t help someone count money after being sold.”
Chu Daizi stepped back in shock, glancing at Lin Xiaoman, who looked at her with a half-smile that made her both uneasy and ashamed.
Chu Daizi bit her lip and said hatefully: “I will investigate this thoroughly.”
★ Chapter Thirty-Nine: Complacent
Chu Daizi walked out of the hotel in a daze.
She had heard rumors that Yue Ding had someone outside, but she refused to believe it. How could such a refined and graceful man be a philanderer? It must be just a rumor.
The fact now before her eyes was that Yue Ding was indeed promiscuous. She was not his destined true love, just one of his many playthings.
No. Chu Daizi shook her head. She was not a plaything.
Yue Ding had been extremely good to her and trusted her completely.
