Chapter 814: Using Her As A Gun
The smile on Diya’s lips deepened.
She glanced at the slightly drooping silver tassel outside the cushion, and could not help but reveal a gloating expression.
Ha…
It was said that the Devi family’s Madam Ye had a fiery temper. Because she was late to have a child, she doted on that disappointing son of hers to the extreme!
Even if young master Keller was ignorant and incompetent, smoked, drank, gambled, was a womaniser and was all over the place, didn’t Madam Ye still dote on her son as if he was a precious treasure?
A few days ago in the underground auction market, young master Keller was beaten up by the emperor. He even had two broken ribs. He was still recovering in the hospital!
Madam Ye, who doted on her son, must have accumulated a bellyful of anger, right?
A trace of hostility flashed across Diya’s eyes.
Her hands were tightly clenched into fists.
She hoped that Madam Ye of the Devi family would not disappoint her expectations!
After all, she had spent a lot of effort to send someone to steal such a pair of Ruby pendants from Madam Ye!
It was all for today!
Just as Diya was overwhelmed with joy, she suddenly heard her brother’s call from not far away.
“Diya, the banquet hasn’t started yet. What are you doing over there? Come over quickly!”
“I’m coming, I’m coming!”
Diya turned her head to look at Fiennes. She quickly restrained her expression and ran towards Fiennes. However, the corners of her eyes could not help but fly up. She could not hide the joy on her face.
Fiennes glanced at Diya hesitantly. He did not understand why Diya, who was just angry moments ago, would suddenly be so happy.
“Is there anything worth being happy about?”
“Of course there is. Moreover, there are two good things.”
Diya raised her eyes and smiled at Fiennes. Her amber eyes were clear and bright.
Today, the high priest was here. She was going to be officially engaged to the emperor. Moreover, she would be able to see Su Wan make a fool of herself. Wouldn’t that be killing two birds with one stone?
Fiennes glanced at Diya helplessly. He thought that his younger sister was looking forward to marrying Jiang Xuecheng.
Thinking of the newly promoted emperor, Fiennes’ deep blue eyes deepened. They were as unfathomable as a pool of water.
Regarding this marriage, only a silly girl like Diya would look forward to it. In fact, it was only used to pin down the Siswell family.
It would be fine if the emperor treated his sister well, but if it wasn’t…
Fiennes’ expression turned cold, and a trace of killing intent flashed across his eyes.
He had never thought highly of the marriage between Diya and Jiang Xuecheng. Diya had a prideful personality, and if it was possible, he would rather find a man who knew her well and could lower himself.
At least it would easy to control, wouldn’t it?
…
In the transparent observation elevator.
Jiang Xuecheng reached out to hold Su Wan’s face with a serious expression.
“Wan Wan, don’t be sad. I believe you. However, can you tell me everything about that man? He is the most wanted criminal of the High Priest. I’m afraid that something bad will happen to you.”
Su Wan was a little surprised when she heard that. She had always thought that Jiang Xuecheng was a moving jar of jealousy. It was undoubtedly a great improvement for him to ask this question openly.
Su Wan sorted out her thoughts and began to tell Jiang Xuecheng about Ming Ye.
In fact, she knew very little about Ming Ye. That man was simply a mystery, but Su Wan did not have the energy to understand him.
Su Wan could tell that Ming Ye was not a bad person, but the things he did were too dangerous. As a friend, Su Wan still hoped that Ming Ye could be safe.
After listening to Su Wan’s story, Jiang Xuecheng nodded thoughtfully.
It seemed that the man who looked like him had a deep relationship with the high priest…
In a split second, a thought flashed through Jiang Xuecheng’s mind.
Why did the high priest insist on arresting Ming Ye, even going so far as to do it herself?
Thinking of the part of the laboratory that Doctor Li had mentioned, a thought gradually emerged in Jiang Xuecheng’s mind.
If Ming Ye was found, it might be able to help cure the CHK Virus No.3 in Su Wan’s body!
Seeing Jiang Xuecheng suddenly frown and smile, Su Wan could not help but push Jiang Xuecheng.
Did this man suddenly go crazy?
“Xuecheng, what’s wrong?”
Jiang Xuecheng lowered his head and looked at Su Wan. His dark eyes were locked on her tightly, and like clouds moving in the sky, there were too many unspeakable feelings in them.
When Su Wan met Jiang Xuecheng’s mushy eyes, she felt goosebumps all over her body.
She had a feeling that something was wrong with Jiang Xuecheng recently. It was obvious that he was hiding something from her, but Su Wan had already decided not to ask anymore.
“Why are you looking at me like that? It’s a little weird…”
Su Wan frowned slightly, her expression ignorant.
She did not know anything…
Jiang Xuecheng’s heart ached. Suddenly, he hugged Su Wan hard, so hard that it was as if he wanted to bury Su Wan into his bones.
“Wan Wan, I love you.”
His voice was very soft, but his words were firm.
Regardless of whether or not Ming Ye knew about the CHK Virus No.3, no matter how difficult the cure was, he would save her.
Su Wan was stunned when she heard that. She was so scared that she almost fainted.
Although this fellow Jiang Xuecheng liked to mess around, he rarely expressed his feelings in such a straightforward manner.
After Su Wan reacted, her heart was full of gratitude, which made her feel a little uncomfortable.
It was sweet and sour at the same time.
It was a complicated feeling that was hard to describe.
Su Wan turned her hand around and hugged Jiang Xuecheng. She rested her head on Jiang Xuecheng’s shoulder and responded with determination.
“I love you, too. I only love you, forever.”
Since it was so mushy, might as well be mushy together.
Su Wan rubbed her head on Jiang Xuecheng’s shoulder gently, but she could not help but reveal a happy smile.
…
While Jiang Xuecheng and Su Wan were lovey-dovey, they finally arrived at their destination.
She walked past the cobblestone floor with Jiang Xuecheng, and soon saw a large water screen splashing under the crystal lights.
The place where the main banquet was held was a hanging garden. Several chandeliers in the shape of twigs cast a brilliant light on the flowers around them, giving off a faint fragrance.
Because of Jiang Xuecheng’s high status, according to the rules of etiquette, when the banquet started, he and Su Wan were not in the same guest area.
Jiang Xuecheng was worried that Su Wan would be ostracized, but Su Wan did not care about such trivial matters. She let Jiang Xuecheng go to deal with his own matters first.
Su Wan followed her invitation letter and sat among a group of nobles and socialites.
At the gorgeous long table, they toasted each other and were having a good time.
Su Wan looked at those people’s smiling faces in a trance. She did not know whether they were sincere or pretending.
However, Su Wan could tell that when she came over, everyone was intentionally or unintentionally giving her the cold shoulder. From time to time, they would cast a few meaningful glances at her.
From time to time, they would whisper to each other as if they were discussing her identity.
“Look, that’s Su Wan. Tsk tsk, just watch. She’s actually sitting beside Madam Ye of the Devi family. There’s going to be a good show to watch!”
