?Chapter 362: 348, Prelude to Revealing the Background (3)_1 Chapter 362: 348, Prelude to Revealing the Background (3)_1 Jian Qing raised her eyelids slightly, glancing at her, “Just now, wasn’t it embarrassing enough for you?”

Thinking of what just happened, Yang Xiang was seething with anger, “Jian Qing, don’t get too carried away.”

If it wasn’t for her, her uncle wouldn’t have asked her to leave the dining room. It was all her fault.

Ever since she arrived, she has been stealing the love of my grandfather. Now, even her uncle is siding with her. How can she have all the good things?

“I am pleased. What are you going to do about it?” Jian Qing crossed her arms, looking at her with a mocking semi-smile.

“You…” Yang Xiang raised her hand to point at her, fuming.

“Do not point fingers at me or I will break your hand just like I did to Xiang Cheng. Don’t believe me? Try me.”

Jian Qing took a step forward, and Yang Xiang got scared and took a step back.

Immediately, she hid her hand behind her back.

She did not want her hand to be broken like Xiang Cheng’s.

“Jian Qing, I will have you know, just because the grandfather dotes on you, you think you can disrespect everyone? Let me tell you, at best, you are just a privileged illegitimate child. You are a scandalous secret who thinks she will have a good ending. Isn’t it only because of your vixen face that you seduced Quan Jingwu? What’s so great about that? Eventually everyone will see you for the flirtatious woman you are.”

The more she spoke, the more aggressive she got, as if she was letting out all the humiliation she had just experienced in the dining room.

Jian Qing chuckled slightly, but her eyes were filled with icy coldness, “Yang Xiang, in fact, I have been tolerating you for quite a while. However, now, I no longer wish to.”

Yang Xiang was taken aback, and before she could react, Jian Qing was already standing in front of her.

In a flash, she raised her hand and slapped her.

“Smack–”
A crisp slap sounded, executed with speed, precision, and force.

Just as Ning Feng and Xing Sen walked in, they witnessed this scene. The sudden slap left them speechless.

What’s going on?

Just entered and there’s already a show to watch.

Jian Qing took a step back, creating some distance between them.

Being too close to her, Jian was afraid the air might not be fresh.

Yang Xiang seemed stunned by the slap. It took her a moment to regain her senses.

Finally, her delayed reaction kicked in.

She covered her burning cheek, screaming out loud.

“Ahh–”
Jian Qing casually stood there with her hands in her pockets, looking effortlessly cool and stylish.

Ning Feng and the other man kept silent, moved aside, and just watched the drama unfold.

“Jian Qing, you, you dare to hit me!” Yang Xiang’s eyes were bloodshot as she yelled hysterically, “I won’t let you off the hook.”

Enraged by the slap, Yang Xiang threw caution to the wind and lunged at Jian Qing, reaching for her throat.

Jian Qing effortlessly sidestepped and avoided her.

Yang Xiang missed her target and fell forward due to momentum, landing face-first on the ground. It looked rather painful.

Jian Qing stood by, clicking her tongue.

Her chest must have gotten flattened by that fall.

“Pfft–”
Ning Feng burst into laughter, quickly lowered his head, choked back his laughter, his shoulders shaking uncontrollably.

As for Xing Sen, his poker-faced expression also cracked, revealing a trace of a smile.

“Xiangxiang!”

Hearing the commotion, the hurriedly arrived An Rong and others saw the scene in the living room, and An Rong immediately panicked, rushing over.

Yang Xiang got up from the ground. Seeing An Rong, she couldn’t help but complain, “Mom!”

“Xiangxiang, your nose.” Yang Lin followed them in, took one look at Yang Xiang’s face, and gasped in surprise.

Yang Xiang instinctively touched her nose and saw blood on her hand. She turned pale and looked a bit panicked.

“Xiangxiang, wipe it quickly.”

Yang Lin pulled out several tissues from a box and handed them to her.

An Rong helped Yang Xiang up, glaring angrily at Jian Qing, “Jian Qing, what did you do to Xiangxiang?”

“Mom, she hit me, and then she deliberately pushed me over.” Yang Xiang turned her face, revealing her swollen cheek to everyone.

“Look, my face hurts so much from where she hit me.”

“Jian Qing, you have gone too far.” An Rong was so angry that she felt like her hair was standing on its end. She was itching to attack Jian Qing herself.

She turned to the grandfather and said, “Grandfather, you saw it too. Jian Qing has made Xiangxiang like this. You cannot be prejudiced this time.”

The grandfather glanced at Yang Xiang, then at Jian Qing, and spoke in a gentle voice, “Young Qing, what happened here?”

“Just as you saw, I hit her.” Jian Qing stood casually with a slight smile on her lips, speaking in a relaxed tone.

“Grandfather, you heard it. She admitted it herself.” An Rong seized the opportunity and quickly added, “Grandfather, this time you have to stand up for Xiangxiang.”

The old An was bothered by her noise, his gaze fell on Jian Qing, “Jian Qing, why did you hit her? Is there a reason for this?”

Hearing this, Yang Xiang hated Jian Qing to death. She had been beaten like this, yet the old man was still biased in favour of Jian Qing. This was utterly unfair.

Jian Qing’s brow lifted slightly, “She was mouthing off, and I don’t like her, so there you have it.”

“Jian Qing, you’re talking nonsense. It is clear that you injured Xiangxiang.” An Rong protected her own daughter and looked at Jian Qing with dissatisfaction.

“Yes, I did hit her. If she has the guts, she should hit me back.” Jian Qing lifted her chin slightly and smiled provocatively.

They were not satisfied with her keeping a low profile, she might as well be ostentatious all the way.

Anyone dissatisfied was welcome to come and try their luck.

“You…” An Rong’s face turned a livid colour.

“Ning Feng, tell us what happened.” Mo Xiao interrupted An Rong in his cold voice.

When his name was called, Ning Feng moved forward.

He glanced at Jian Qing and cleared his throat lightly, “Actually, what happened was that Miss Yang Xiang rushed over and said a lot of unpleasant things to Miss Jian Qing. She even attempted to lay a hand on Miss Jian Qing. Due to her self-defense, Miss Jian Qing’s hand accidentally slipped and she happened to slap Miss Yang Xiang. As for Miss Yang Xiang falling to the ground, she wanted to harm Miss Jian Qing but accidentally fell down.”

He emphasized heavily on the words “hand slipped”.

Jian Qing shot him a sideways glance, her eyebrows slightly raising.

Well, this man was rather interesting.

Hand slipped, she liked his choice of words.

“You, you are lying, I did nothing of such,” Yang Xiang said, her face red with anger.

“Enough, let’s end it here. Yang Xiang, if you cause any more trouble, don’t come here for a few days.” The old An gave the order with a serious voice.

“Grandfather!” Tears welled up in Yang Xiang’s eyes, and she was deeply aggrieved.

In the end, she was the one to blame. Why was it that Jian Qing hit someone but nothing happened to her, and she was the one who endured all the suffering and loss?

The old An looked impatient, “Aqiu, call a doctor to check her out.”

Aqiu, “Yes.”

“Jian Qing, you go back to your room and rest.” Looking at Jian Qing, the old An’s voice softened.

Jian Qing nodded, turned around to go upstairs, and saw Ning Feng winking at her.

Her clear eyes flashed as she ascended the stairs without pausing her stride.

The dinner was so upsetting that no one felt like eating anymore.

After the old An went upstairs, Mo Xiao took Ning Feng upstairs.

“Mom!”

Yang Xiang leaned into An Rong’s arms and cried loudly.

An Rong patted her on the back, her eyes filled with deep hatred.

Jian Qing, we’ll see.

Sooner or later, I will drive you out of the An Family.

…
The An Mansion was full of gloom and depression throughout the afternoon.

Unusually, An Chong returned home early today.

“Achong, why did you come back so early today?” Zhou Qi saw An Chong walking in from outside and was taken aback.

An Chong was gloomy, and he didn’t look in a good mood, “Mom, where’s my big brother?”

“In his room,” Zhou Qi said
“I’ll go up and see him first.” An Chong, carrying his briefcase, walked upstairs directly.

Zhou Qi watched his rushed figure, frowned, and felt something was off.

When he got to the fourth floor, An Chong stood in front of An Zhe’s room and took a deep breath.

He knocked on the door.

“Knock knock knock!”

Soon, the door opened and the person opening the door was Ning Feng.

“I’m looking for my big brother.” An Chong said emotionlessly.

In the room, Mo Xiao heard An Chong’s voice, and his eyebrows moved slightly.

“Come in.”

Ning Feng stepped aside to let him in.

An Chong walked in and saw Mo Xiao sitting on the sofa, and the shadow in his eyes became even heavier.

“Big brother, I have something I need to talk to you about alone.”

“You two, go out.” Mo Xiao said.

Ning Feng and the other person looked at each other and then walked out.

With the door closed, An Chong stood still, his gaze fixed on him.

“Achong, what brought you to me?” Mo Xiao asked.

An Chong gave a cold laugh and said restraintly, “Big brother, there’s something I want a clear answer from you.”
