Return to the Day When My Pregnant Wife Jumped Off the Building-Chapter 358: I’m Not Happy_1
Chapter 358: Chapter 358: I’m Not Happy_1
If you’d asked Xiao Ming in his past life what kind of woman was the best,
he would have definitely answered that it was someone like An Kefang.
Foolish enough, pure enough, with his charming tricks, even after breaking up, he could make the girl not feel heartbroken.
He truly achieved "not a leaf sticking to the body".
But this life was different. Jiang Xue had blocked his path to being a playboy, and the women around him were keenly intelligent, which had spoiled his taste.
Accustomed to "understanding the unspoken", he naturally grew impatient with "playing the lute to a cow".
The reason for his sentimentality was that after ending the call, An Kefang actually sat on the stairs and started sobbing.
Big sister, we’re still enemies, you just tried to set me up, and now I can be sure your friends won’t come to save you.
In the dim stairwell, alone with a woman, are you not afraid I’d give in to my base nature and do unspeakable things to you?
"You lost, if you dare to go back on your word and not honor the bet, I will personally go ask An Xianhe."
Shaking his head, he threw down a threat and turned to leave.
"Xiao... Mr. Xiao..."
"What?"
"Can you... stay with me for a while?"
"Why?"
"It’s so dark here, I... I’m scared..."
Scared, then don’t come! This damn place was your choice!
Xiao Ming’s eyelid twitched as he pulled out a cigarette and lit it, "Who made you come to confront me?"
"It was me... on my own."
An Kefang’s shoulders shuddered, "You hurt Xiangyu, and I was angry, so I wanted to... to come and ask you for justice."
"Was the idea to frame me for violating you also your own?"
"No, it was sister Wu."
"Wu Xiaomei?" Xiao Ming envisioned a woman’s figure, his lips curling into a cold smirk.
Because he remembered something—when the Hao, Wu, An, and Chang families fell apart in his previous life, Hao Xiangyu’s wife was named Wu Xiaomei.
Which meant that this Miss Wu was actually An Kefang’s rival in love, scheming against her, yet she still called her sister.
"Who are the friends you mentioned earlier?" Xiao Ming continued his interrogation.
"There are..." An Kefang suddenly lifted her face, wary, "Why are you asking this?"
Xiao Ming chuckled, "What, after being betrayed, you still feel obligated to be loyal to them?"
An Kefang bit her lip, "No matter what they did, it’s not a reason for me to become like them."
Xiao Ming paused.
This girl has a strong sense of right and wrong!
It’s hard to imagine she grew up in a criminal family.
"Suit yourself. Later, I’ll just go directly to Wu Xiaomei, that wretched woman will be very happy to betray her friends."
An Kefang opened her mouth as if to object, but eventually lowered her head.
Good, she has some brains to know who the real culprit is.
Xiao Ming walked over to the staircase leading downstairs and sat down, "Although it was you who lost the bet, in consideration of your pitiful state, I’ll give you a choice.
Do you want to know why I beat up your Xiangyu?
Or why the Hao, Wu, An, and Chang families are so afraid of me?"
An Kefang turned her face, "Can I only choose one?"
Xiao Ming exhaled a smoke ring, looking up, "You could also choose none."
An Kefang deliberated for a moment, then pouted, "Then... I choose the second one."
"Oh? I thought you were all about love, with only Xiangyu in your heart, didn’t expect you to have a sense of responsibility!"
"Anyway, it must be because Xiangyu provoked you that you beat him up. Asking you would be useless. With just one chance, how could I waste it?"
"How do you know I didn’t just find Xiangyu annoying and wanted to punch him?"
"Ah? You... How can you be such a scumbag?"
You believe that already!
Xiao Ming shook his head, his face lined with exasperation, "Actually, your choice is wise. Because once you hear the answer to the second question, you’ll understand the reason behind the first one."
An Kefang’s eyes lit up, "Then tell me."
"The reason the Hao, Wu, An, and Chang families are wary of me is that I’ve got a hold of their dirty little secrets.
They’re afraid I’ll spill the beans, so of course, they’ll try to butter me up."
"So it’s blackmail, you really are a despicable and shameless villain!" An Kefang exclaimed angrily.
Xiao Ming laughed heartily, "An honest person doesn’t fear the knock at the door in the middle of the night. Good people don’t have little secrets for others to find."
An Kefang became tense at once, "What did you find out?"
Xiao Ming flicked the cigarette butt away, stood up, and patted his bottom, "Question and answer time is over. If you want to know the truth, go back to An Xianhe.
Tell him, I’m in a very bad mood right now."
Having said that, he ignored the girl’s calls and left the stairwell, striding into the banquet hall.
An Kefang wanted to follow, but suddenly remembered her disheveled appearance, and anxiously spun around in place. She had no choice but to call her grandfather and relate the whole affair to him.
An Xianhe was both shocked and furious upon hearing this, instructing his granddaughter to wait for him in the resting room. Then he gave the Hao, Wu, and Chang family elders a cold glance and left the table.
Before long, Hao Taixing, Wu Mengsong, and Chang Chunbai each received a message from the elder, ordering them to the resting room.
In the resting room, Wu Xiaomei was with several sisters from the three families, accusing An Kefang.
"How can there be someone as foolish as you in this world? You can’t even manage such a small matter, and you still have the face to say you like Xiangyu?
In my opinion, it’s precisely because you like him, that Xiangyu has such bad luck.
You’re a jinx!"
