Chapter 131: People You Can’t Cross
Translator:?Atlas Studios??Editor:?Atlas Studios
The private room was very quiet. Nie Heng and Jin Mo had come out for a drink today. Nie Xi—who had gone into the bar first—had gone somewhere. Nie Heng did not look for her. He had never cared what Nie Xi was doing.
Not long after, Nie Heng’s cell phone rang—it was Liu Xiangru. She rarely called him. The last two times were because of Liu Chun. Just as Nie Heng pressed the answer button, Liu Xiangru’s cough echoed from the other end of the line.
Liu Xiangru was famous for being a sickly beauty. She rarely left the Liu family. Even when she attended gatherings, she would find a quiet place to sit. After coughing, she said softly, “Nie Heng, I heard from Liu Chun that you gave Xing Shu 30 million yuan?”
Nie Heng acknowledged it and advised, “Don’t speak too quickly. Take care of your health.”
Liu Xiangru asked, “Did I cause you trouble? If I had known that Xing Shu would be so avaricious, I would have asked Liu Chun to apologize. She’s impatient. She cried when she called me just now. I’m really sorry. I’ll transfer the money to you later.”
Nie Heng rubbed the space between his eyebrows. His gaze was gentle. “There’s no need to be so calculative between us. If you dont want Liu Chun to apologize, then dont apologize. 30 million yuan is nothing. Dont worry.”
Of course, Liu Xiangru knew that 30 million yuan was nothing to Nie Heng. However, when she thought about how Xing Shu had taken such a huge advantage, she felt uncomfortable. “Even if it’s Liu Chun’s fault this time, you shouldnt have let others demand such an exorbitant price.” Actually, Liu
Xiangru was testing Nie Heng. She could sense that Nie Heng’s attitude towards Xing Shu was a little off. She did not know if it was because of what Liu Chun said, but she felt uneasy. If it were any other woman who threatened Nie Heng like this, they probably would not even live to see tomorrow. However, Xing Shu had ripped 30 million yuan off him and was completely fine.
“Don’t bother about Xing Shu anymore. Take good care of yourself.” It was impossible for Nie Heng to tell anyone about Xing Shu and Cheng Lang. If Old Master Cheng found out, Xing Shu would immediately disappear from the capital.
“Alright, then I won’t ask anymore.” Liu Xiangru was a smart person. She would not deliberately make Nie Heng unhappy. She asked around about the Feng family’s attitude towards Feng Jian and hoped that the Feng family would deal with Xing Shu. However—to her surprise—no one from the Feng family came forward to save Feng Jian. Therefore, Feng Jian was still locked up. After learning about this, Liu Xiangru could not sit on her hands anymore. She continued to ask around about the Feng family’s attitude and heard that the Feng family was going to send Feng Jian overseas for studies. The official cover was studies; but in reality, it was exile. This was not uncommon in prominent families.
Liu Xiangru panicked even more. Did the Feng family deal m?th it in such a way because FengJian offended Xing Shu? Then who was the person behind Xing
Xing Shu did not know that she had attracted Liu Xiangru’s attention. She and
Jiang Yao had already gotten into the car and were about to leave the villa. Jiang Yao was in a very good mood tonight. The smile on her face never faded. When the traffic light turned green, she patted the steering wheel. “Xing Shu, thank you so much. My birthdays have been a drag every year, but I’m so happy today. If there’s such a thing again, remember to contact me. Let’s add each other on WeChat first.”
Xing Shu added Jiang Yao on WeChat. When Jiang Yao saw the familiar profile picture, she smiled. “Previously, Jin Yue went around asking who the person with the snowflake profile picture was. I guessed that it was you at that time.
Still, I didnt expect it to really be you.”
“Jin Yue?” Xing Shu was puzzled. Why would Jin Yue ask about her WeChat profile picture?
“That’s right. Jin Yue asked in many WeChat groups. She probably asked everyone in the Beijing upper-class circle, but no one admitted it.” Jiang Yao started the car and her expression became much more serious. She reminded Xing Shu, “In the capital, Jin Yue and Liu Xiangru are both quite powerful. Dont cross them. Otherwise, if Young Uncle doesnt want you anymore, they can crush you with a finger.”
Although Xing Shu had come to the capital at the age of 10, she did not know much about the Beijing upper-class circle. She had always been a marginal figure. When she heard Jiang Yao’s words, she was a little curious. “How powerful are the two of them?”
Jiang Yao liked Xing Shu. Seeing that she was so clueless, Jiang Yao was afraid that she would be at a disadvantage. So, she told her in detail, “Let’s start with Jin Yue first. You know how famous she is in the Beijing upper-class circle. She has received elite education since she was young. The Jin family dotes on her so much that they cater to her every whim..”
