Chapter 115 The Taste of Jumping Off a Building
Lai Yuqiang went up to the rooftop of the building.
An Ying stood alone in the distance, arms crossed, gazing at the city scenery.
She didn't look very well.
Lai Yuqiang approached and asked impatiently, "What do you want?"
An Ying turned around and said calmly, "What did you and Su Jixun talk about at the industry summit in Yuncheng?"
Lai Yuqiang remained expressionless: "I didn't say anything."
An Ying raised an eyebrow: "Really?"
Lai Yuqiang turned her head away, too lazy to explain further: "I told you you should have feelings for him, and he seemed quite surprised. That's all, maybe I misjudged him."
Out of the corner of her eye, Lai Yuqiang would occasionally observe An Ying's expression.
He wondered if something had happened between Su Jixun and An Ying.
Could it be...?
An Ying: "How did Su Jixun know my hotel room number?"
Lai Yuqiang: "..."
An Ying: "Still won't tell the truth?"
Lai Yuqiang sneered: "Shouldn't you be the one telling the truth? Why are you so eager to ask? What, did you two sleep together?"
An Ying's expression was indifferent.
Suddenly, she raised her hand.
Suddenly, he slapped Lai Yuqiang across the face.
Snapped--
Lai Yuqiang was stunned for a moment.
The gradually rising stinging pain on her face brought her back to her senses.
She covered her face, glared at him, and said, "You dare hit me?!"
An Ying remained indifferent.
"You betrayed me and framed me first, so what's wrong with me slapping you? Is that too much to ask?"
Her words were reasonable and well-founded, leaving Lai Yuqiang, who was brimming with profanities, speechless.
Lai Yuqiang gritted her teeth: "You!"
Fearing that An Ying would go crazy again and slap her, she subconsciously took a few steps back, trying to create distance between them.
But An Ying closed in step by step.
This immediately forced Lai Yuqiang to the edge of the rooftop.
Lai Yuqiang grabbed the railing at the edge of the rooftop.
I glanced back.
The height of the fifty-story building made her feel extremely dizzy.
Lai Yuqiang's teeth chattered with nervousness: "An Ying, what are you doing! Are you crazy?!"
An Ying curled the corners of her lips slightly, but there was no smile in her eyes.
Crazy? Maybe.
Just thinking about the humiliation Su Jixun caused me that night...
Which woman wouldn't go crazy? Wouldn't she break down?
An Ying took out her phone and found a video in her photo album.
Click play.
In the video, Su Jixun, his face covered in blood, weakly said, "It's Lai Yuqiang. She said An Ying likes me and told me to take the initiative and go find her."
“There was a banquet after the summit, and everyone drank a little bit. She said that An Ying drank several glasses of wine and must have been drunk.”
"She also told me An Ying's room number, saying that since we are all mature men and women, we shouldn't be so formal."
"That's why I went upstairs directly to look for..."
An Ying paused the video at the right time.
This video was sent by Fu Chengli.
That day, Su Jixun mentioned Lai Yuqiang, and An Ying found it strange that this woman was getting involved in all sorts of gossip between men and women.
The interrogation of Su Jixun proved that Lai Yuqiang wasn't there to gossip about love; she was the one who deliberately stirred up trouble.
As if they were afraid the matter wouldn't be blown out of proportion enough.
Lai Yuqiang pursed her lips, unsure of what to say.
The sight of Su Jixun in the video terrified her.
What exactly happened that day?!
How could Su Jixun be beaten like this?!
Lai Yuqiang looked at An Ying suspiciously.
Surely it couldn't have been this frail woman in front of me who did it?
An Ying locked her phone, put it back in her pocket, tilted her head, and looked at Lai Yuqiang.
"I just asked you to tell the truth, but you wouldn't. Do you want me to present evidence to refute you?"
As soon as she finished speaking, An Ying reached out and grabbed Lai Yuqiang by the neck, pushing her towards the outside railing.
Lai Yuqiang had her throat choked and was pinned against the rooftop railing, unable to move.
She screamed and shouted in a panic.
"Ah—An Ying—you're crazy—you're forcing me to jump off a building? You'll go to jail!"
An Ying calmly said, "Do you remember when I first came to Fu's? On my first day at work, you secretly took pictures of me riding in Su Jixun's car. What did I say back then?"
At this moment, Lai Yuqiang was so frightened that she screamed.
Where would I find the time to reminisce about something that happened a month ago?
An Ying continued, "Back then, I told you not to spread rumors and cause trouble, otherwise I wouldn't let it go."
Lai Yuqiang repeatedly said, "Yes, yes, that's what you said. I remember now, okay? Let me go!"
An Ying didn't let go.
She tightened her grip and pushed Lai Yuqiang away.
Lai Yuqiang had half of her shoulder hanging over the railing.
Falling from that height would truly be fatal instantly.
Lai Yuqiang hurriedly explained, "Bring Su Jixun out so we can explain in person. How can you convict me based solely on his statement!"
An Ying said slowly, "He will never be able to appear in Beicheng again."
Lai Yuqiang was startled, and her legs went weak.
Just who exactly is this An Ying?
Does she really have the power to make Su Jixun disappear?!
Lai Yuqiang had no choice but to admit defeat: "I'm sorry, I was wrong, please let me go. I... I genuinely thought you two were a good match at first, and I wanted to bring you two together, I..."
Lai Yuqiang swallowed hard and gritted her teeth: "I shouldn't have told Su Jixun your room number, and I shouldn't have said that you liked him."
"I did make some mistakes, but the fault wasn't entirely mine. I didn't force Su Jixun to go to you!"
"Every wrong has its perpetrator, and every debt has its debtor. No matter what happened between you two that day, An Ying, you can't blame it all on me!" "I'll never dare to mess with you again. You go your way, and I'll go mine, okay?" An Ying smiled thoughtfully and finally let go.
She clapped her hands and said with a relaxed expression, "Director Lai, experiencing what it's like to jump off a building is quite a rare treat, isn't it?"
Her eyes held a hint of provocation.
Lai Yuqiang ran far away in a flash, not daring to speak to An Ying anymore.
In her mind, this woman was simply insane.
An Ying stood alone on the rooftop.
Staring blankly at the scenery of the city in the distance.
The afternoon breeze gently caressed An Ying's hair.
An Ying recalled many things from the past, many things that happened in Nancheng.
How long does it take for a little girl who is completely helpless to grow up to be able to protect herself from harm?
------
Lai Yuqiang still couldn't understand how Su Jixun ended up in such a miserable state.
But she was too lazy to figure it out.
She was still shaken after coming down from the rooftop.
I thought the matter was now over.
To my surprise, my phone rang as soon as I stepped out of the elevator.
Lai Yuqiang thought it was An Ying's and was startled.
Fortunately, it belongs to her father.
When the call connected, Lai Yuqiang wanted to whine to her father and cry about her grievances.
Before Lai Yuqiang could even finish saying "Dad," Lai Yangbo launched into a tirade of abuse on the other end of the phone:
"You brat, what have you done?!"
"Do you even know how much trouble you've caused the Lai family!"
