The Heiress Acts Mischievously, But Her Family Can Read Her Mind-Chapter 117: Made Her Obvious?
Chapter 117: Chapter 117: Made Her Obvious?
An experiment explosion?
So the critical point of his severed hand was in the experiment.
Jian Hemian’s eyes darkened, but he had always dealt with all kinds of dangerous experiments every day and had always been very cautious. There was absolutely no way an "explosion" would ever occur.
And to tell him to give up the profession he loves, he’d rather lose his hand.
At this moment, Chu Muxi walked into the swimming pool area, presumably after settling Xie Zimiao. She paused when she noticed Jiang Leyi was not among the people present.
Her gaze swept over the four Jiang brothers and finally settled on Jian Hemian with a tender smile, "Third Brother, where did Yiyi go?"
As for why she only asked Jian Hemian, it was because when they were little, Jiang Leyi always took Jian Hemian to play with her, so she had more fondness for Jian Hemian compared to the other members of the Jiang Family.
Jian Hemian’s expression was natural, "She went back to her room. If you’re looking for her, contact her privately."
Chu Muxi nodded and continued with a smile, "Then I’ll ask Yiyi to join us for the outdoor barbecue later, and you guys should come too, it’s more fun with more people." She then gave Jian Hemian a sweet smile, "It’s been a long time since I’ve seen Third Brother, I’ve missed you, and I’ve missed the other brothers as well."
Jiang Zhouye glanced between the two, a hint of mockery surfacing in his eyes. Because of Jiang Leyi’s relationship with Chu Muxi, everyone was quite familiar with one another.
[Yeah, you’re her spare tire, how could she not miss you? Aside from Lu Qingyan, when Chu Xin gave up on the first choice, she fancied the second brother as a son-in-law. However, Chu Muxi likes the Third Brother a bit more, who can blame her? She likes that indistinguishable beauty of a man, and Third Brother fits the bill just right.]
Jiang Zhouye’s smile almost cracked open.
What’s all this.
Chu Muxi not only fancies Lu Qingyan, she also likes Jian Hemian?!
What a dramatic love story.
In an instant, apart from Jian Hemian himself, the other three looked at him with restrained interest.
Jian Hemian remained composed, a flicker of interest in his phoenix eyes, Chu Muxi, see him as a spare tire?
Giving her a show?
After waiting a few seconds, Jian Hemian revealed a smile, his voice lazy, "Sure, I’m free anyway, I can play along."
Chu Muxi’s eyes misted over with joy, "Mhm, then I’ll go get ready. You all have to come and play."
Jiang Nanshu looked at Jian Hemian with sympathetic eyes.
[Third Brother probably still doesn’t realize that he can’t play games with her. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have died because of her in the end. Ah well... none of my business.] She muttered to herself.
When she turned her head, she saw Jian Hemian’s gaze fixed on her.
Jiang Nanshu felt a little uneasy, sniffling, her moist apricot eyes blinking, and she asked softly, "Third Brother? Why are you staring at me?"
[Fuck, I haven’t bothered you, you nutcase, have I? Staring holes into me, are you sick?!]
Jian Hemian was not the least bit annoyed and curled up a shallow smile, "I’m looking because you’re cute. Such a cute little sister should be well-fed, plump and white. At the barbecue later, I want to see you there. Otherwise, I’ll just have to go to your room and peel fruit for you to eat."
Jiang Nanshu: "..."
[Ah ah ah ah, you’re crazier than I am, did I offend you or what! You don’t want to peel fruit; you want to peel me! Why do I have to be there...]
Jiang Nanshu didn’t understand the situation. Originally, her role today was just to kick the female lead into the water and then the gathering would naturally end on a sour note.
And she herself was unscathed, and the female lead was quickly pulled out of the water.
This part of the script was like it never happened.
What outdoor barbecue? The original book had no such thing.
Of course, this kind of scene with all the main characters was none of the business of a villainess like her.
But now the plot had deviated slightly, so was this new scenario newly contrived?
Jiang Nanshu forced a smile, "Alright, I will definitely be there, I’m going to my room to change now."
[I really want to see what this is all about!]
The new plot must be geared toward the heroine.
Just don’t know, having lost today’s opportunity to bond with the male lead, how the following scenes will bring them together.
Jiang Nanshu pondered as she walked, the Chu Family had booked them all into presidential suites. She had just taken the elevator up to the fifth floor of Fenglin Hotel when the sound of an argument reached her from ahead, "How could there be a thief in this place, stealing my diamonds? I left them on the nightstand in my room. Was it one of you cleaning staff who stole it? I want to check the surveillance!"
The hotel waitress, clad in her uniform, looked troubled, "Madam, our hotel would never have a theft occur. Could you please search again? Maybe you placed them somewhere else and forgot?"
The wealthy lady, adorned in lavish attire, raised an eyebrow, furiously scolding, "The security here is so dreadful, who would dare to stay in the future! I don’t care, you must compensate me a million today! Otherwise, I’m calling the police."
Jiang Nanshu couldn’t tune into the argument happening up ahead.
Because...
She remembered her bag of treasures.
All her treasures!
[Ah, my children! Wuuu, whoever dares to touch you will pay with their life! My treasures, Mommy is coming!]
Lu Qingyan, just preparing to leave, ran smack into Jiang Nanshu, who was rushing about.
Children? Treasures? Mommy?!
Since when did she have children!
Subconsciously, he grabbed her wrist, and Jiang Nanshu, not braking in time, sent Lu Qingyan crashing into the door.
The door wasn’t closed and the two of them, unsteady, tumbled in.
"Sst." Lu Qingyan let out a sharp hiss of pain.
[Ah! My teeth, I almost broke them, it hurts so much.]
They rolled into a heap.
Jiang Nanshu’s teeth had just chipped against Lu Qingyan’s collarbone, leaving a reddened area, even drawing blood, breaking the skin slightly.
Jiang Nanshu looked up, saw that Lu Qingyan was the one to cause this, held back for a long time, and then offered a distorted smile, "Brother Qingyan, why did you pull me? My teeth almost shattered on your bones."
Lu Qingyan’s face slightly flushed, under Jiang Nanshu’s gaze, he dared not touch the spot where Jiang Nanshu bumped, turning his face away, his voice deepening slightly, "Seeing how quickly you were running, I was afraid you’d fall. Can you move your leg first?"
It was then that Jiang Nanshu realized her knee was pressing right at the root of his thigh, a little further forward and with the force they fell with, she couldn’t guarantee Lu Qingyan’s family line wouldn’t be cut short.
[They say you’re impotent, now you really don’t want it anymore, huh? Don’t blame me for your failure to ’rise’ later, that’d be a tragedy.]
Lu Qingyan: "..."
Sometimes he really hated hearing her thoughts.
Jiang Nanshu quickly got up, aiming to rush out, but again Lu Qingyan, following closely behind, pulled her wrist.
"Where are you going?"
Jiang Nanshu struggled to break free, without success, "I’m going back to my room to change."
[My poor babies, I’m coming back soon!]
Lu Qingyan’s expression darkened, his voice turning cold, "I’ll go with you."
He even thought that this "child" might be the one called Zhou Yanxu.
Jiang Nanshu had called for him twice, once when she was drunk, not so befuddled, and she clearly uttered his name.
And once more when she was on the brink of death, the name on her mind was also his.
Who on earth was he?
Did Jiang Nanshu have entanglements with another man after him?
How dared she!
