After Having Everything Taken Away, She Returns As A God - Chapter 844
Chapter 844: It’s Over, Shocked, Embroidery (1)
Bai Jinxi glanced outside, marveling at the grandeur of the building.
But why were there so many guards here?
Calling them guards wasn’t quite accurate either.
Their level of training and the sophistication of their equipment were far beyond what a typical wealthy family would provide.
Bai Jinxi felt a bit nervous, but she was convinced JIANG Shuihan hadn’t lied to her.
This must be an ancient, reclusive family!
The thought excited her. She quickly got out of the car, straightened her clothes, and followed JIANG Shuihan.
The young people in uniform standing on both sides greeted JIANG Shuihan with great respect, “Captain JIANG.”
JIANG Shuihan returned their greetings with a smile.
“Lady,” JIANG Shuihan said with a slight bow, “I’ve brought her.”
Bai Jinxi carefully raised her head and realized it was the same couple she had photographed the previous night.
Now that she was closer, she could clearly see their extraordinary looks and the refined aura that only came from being nurtured in a prominent family.
Bai Jinxi hadn’t felt this nervous even when facing Old Master LI.
“It’s alright, just speak freely,” Mu Qingmeng said with a light smile, seemingly sensing her unease. “Don’t worry, he won’t dare say a word without my permission.”
Xiao Wenjian remained silent.
Bai Jinxi finally relaxed and began to embellish her story, “Lady, you don’t know, but after you went into the banquet hall last night, that Si Fuqing asked your husband for a bank card. When he refused, she made a scene.”
“In the end, he had to give it to her. They went in together, practically glued to each other, intimate—”
Before she could finish, she felt an invisible pressure bearing down on her, crushing her.
Her legs went weak, and a metallic taste rose in her throat as she spat out a mouthful of blood.
“How dare you!” Mu Qingmeng said coldly, “Lying in front of me, you have quite the nerve!”
Xiao Wenjian’s eyebrow twitched as he noticed the armrest of Mu Qingmeng’s chair cracking under her grip.
He had to admit, Mu Qingmeng’s strength had increased significantly since receiving treatment from Si Fuqing.
He sighed deeply, foreseeing a challenging future ahead.
“La-Lady, I—” Bai Jinxi sputtered, spitting out more blood, “Lady, I swear everything I said is true…”
In her dizziness, she saw Si Fuqing’s face and was momentarily stunned.
“Little Fuqing is here,” Mu Qingmeng ignored Bai Jinxi, standing up. “Did your Uncle Xiao pay you enough for the consultation yesterday? If not, I’ll have him give you more.”
“He paid enough,” Si Fuqing replied with a smile, her fox-like eyes curving. “Thank you, Aunt Mu.”
“Don’t be so polite with me. You saved my life,” Mu Qingmeng held her hand, sighing again, “I wish I had a daughter like you.”
Bai Jinxi’s mind buzzed.
She couldn’t hear anything else Mu Qingmeng said.
Her body went cold, and her limbs grew numb.
Only two words echoed in her mind.
It’s over.
At that moment, Bai Jinxi’s mind cleared somewhat.
What had she been thinking yesterday?
How could she let her hatred for Si Fuqing cloud her judgment so much that she lost all reason?
Bai Jinxi’s face turned ashen, her body trembling.
“By the way, the reason we asked you here is because someone accused you of something,” Mu Qingmeng glanced at Bai Jinxi, “I don’t know how they see things, but there’s no way someone as smart and beautiful as you would be interested in someone like your Uncle Xiao.”
Xiao Wenjian protested softly, “Lady, there are others here. Give me some face.”
“Fuqing and Shuihan are family, why fuss?” Mu Qingmeng said. “As for Miss Bai here, I’ll be suing you for defamation.”
JIANG Shuihan chuckled, “That’s a serious accusation.”
Mu Qingmeng and Xiao Wenjian represented the Thousand Army Alliance.
The reputation of the Thousand Army Alliance was also the reputation of Great Xia.
Upon hearing the word “sue,” Bai Jinxi panicked.
She looked up, “No… you can’t sue me, you—”
Her gaze fixed on a plaque above.
Three grand characters caught her eye.
Thousand Army Alliance!
Those three words alone exuded an aura that left Bai Jinxi’s mind blank.
