Chapter 866 - Chapter 866 Chapter 866 There are quite a few people who want

Chapter 866: Chapter 866: There are quite a few people who want to kill her, who is it this time? Chapter 866: Chapter 866: There are quite a few people who want to kill her, who is it this time? They looked around and saw that there was no one nearby, so they naturally followed.

One of them took a handkerchief out of his pocket.

Getting closer…

Just a bit more and they would be close enough…

The men glanced at each other, and the one with the handkerchief in his hand quickened his pace as his eyes darkened.

Suddenly…

His shoulder was slapped, “Hey, buddy.”

The usually tense men jumped in fright.

They were professionals and yet they hadn’t noticed someone behind them.

A bad feeling arose in their hearts as they warily looked at the newcomer.

Seeing that the person was well-built but had a friendly face, likely just a passerby, they scolded, “What do you want, get lost.”

Zhou You forcefully squeezed the shoulder of the man with the handkerchief; the man grunted unexpectedly, feeling as though his shoulder was about to break.

Only then did they realize that the newcomer meant no good.

Zhou You said with a smile, “Guys, let’s have a chat.”

The men looked at each other again; they were numerous, what was there to fear?

During their eye contact, they made up their minds.

One by one, they clenched their fists in preparation: “Kid, if you know what’s good for you, scram, or else don’t blame me for being rude.”

“Is that so,” Zhou You lifted his chin, “Comparing who has more people?”

As he spoke, several burly men suddenly emerged from a corner, obviously not easy to mess with.

Their legs went weak, realizing they were done for, and they turned to run.

Zhou You gestured, and the burly men swarmed forward. No one spoke, but their movements were swift and silent as they subdued the men.

“Come on, talk about what you’re trying to do and who sent you.”

Zhou You hooked his arm around one man’s neck and forcefully led him in the opposite direction.

He looked back.

Qiao Yun was standing not far away, watching them with an indifferent expression. Seeing him look over, she lightly nodded.

Zhou You took the hint and moved the man away without alerting anyone.

Qiao Yun was undisturbed and continued walking towards the neighboring villa.

She had many people wanting her dead; she wondered who it was this time.

…

On the other side.

In the Jiang family villa, Xu Qiao held a cup of coffee with a book in front of her, enjoying her rare afternoon break, when suddenly there was noise at the door. She looked up and saw Jiang Jing coming back.

Xu Qiao set down her coffee and book and went to greet her, “Jingjing, how come you’re back so soon?”

She was very worried about Jiang Jing’s mental state. Although she was happy that Jiang Jing was willing to go out and relax, she feared that she might have heard something that she shouldn’t have.

Xu Qiao quietly observed Jiang Jing’s expression.

Jiang Jing put down her purse and met Xu Qiao’s worried gaze. She forced a smile and said half-jokingly, “Mom, are you hiding something from me?”

Xu Qiao’s eyes darted away, her voice shaky, “Why would Mom hide anything from you? Don’t overthink things.”

“Is that so?”

Jiang Jing’s smile looked rather ugly.

She thought about the way everyone had looked at her just now.

An unbearable feeling of humiliation surged in her heart. She clenched her lips tightly, took several deep breaths, and spoke in a hoarse voice, “Do you know who I ran into?”

Xu Qiao feigned ignorance: “Who?”

Jiang Jing answered, “Su Qingqing.”

Xu Qiao involuntarily pursed her lips.

She disliked the people from the Su family.

Previously, Jiang Jing knew that she liked Su Qingyan and wanted to form an alliance through marriage, achieving a win-win for both families.

Ye Miaoshan was happy to see it happen, but Su Qingyan strongly opposed it.

This made her feel very humiliated.

That’s why she is now so opposed to Jiang Jing liking Su Qingyan.

Jiang Jing calmed down a bit and said, “Su Qingqing asked me to apologize to Qiao Yun.”

“What is she thinking!” Xu Qiao’s voice turned sharp, “This is too much bullying; no, I must ask Su Fan what his daughter means by this.”

Jiang Jing sneered, “Mom, do you have the nerve to ask, after they found out what you did?”

Xu Qiao’s expression stiffened instantly; she looked seriously at Jiang Jing and only then noticed that Jiang Jing’s eyes were somewhat red.

“Jingjing, did they say something to you?”

Jiang Jing gave a bitter smile.

Remembering how today her face had been trampled underfoot by Su Qingqing, grinding it hard, what made it worse was everyone thinking she was in the wrong.

No one stood by her side; it felt as if something was stuck in her throat, and she couldn’t utter a word.

Xu Qiao couldn’t stand seeing Jiang Jing mistreated, “Jingjing, don’t be sad, let mom handle it, okay?”

“What else do you want to do? I’ve already become a joke,” Jiang Jing’s voice was hoarse, “I can accept failure, but I can’t accept being looked down upon. Doing that only makes them see me as despicable and think I am a lowly villain!”

She was annoyed that her mother’s impulsiveness had now implicated her.

But her mother had meant well, and she couldn’t say anything too harsh.

Xu Qiao felt somewhat helpless, “Mom did that for you, for the Jiang Family.”

Jiang Jing was the most outstanding of her generation in Jiang Family; her disgrace was a disgrace for the Jiang Family as well.

Jiang Jing’s complexion was extremely poor, and she suppressed her grievances, “Never mind, it’s too late for words now.”

Her reputation couldn’t be salvaged.

Xu Qiao seemed determined as she said, “In that case, why not go abroad? No one overseas knows about your situation, and you can return after you’ve learned enough to slap them in the face.”

Jiang Jing’s frown deepened.

Going abroad = fleeing in panic.

She was not a coward.

If she went abroad just because Su Qingqing made a scene, it would be like admitting defeat indirectly.

“Mom, I can’t go abroad.”

Xu Qiao didn’t know what to do.

Just then, Jiang Shaocheng came back and as soon as he entered the door, he heard Jiang Jing’s words and said, “You don’t need to go abroad; staying in the country is also an option.”

“Dad,” Jiang Jing greeted.

Jiang Shaocheng’s serious face broke into a smile, “I actually have something to tell you.”

Jiang Jing asked, “What is it?”

Jiang Shaocheng said, “The Huo Family will be sending someone over in a few days.”

Jiang Jing instinctively frowned, as she had no good impression of anyone from the Huo Family due to Huo Chi and Han Luo’s relationship.

If not for Han Luo, she might have already been selected for Tianqi, and none of this would have happened.

Jiang Shaocheng seemed to read Jiang Jing’s thoughts and waved his hand, “This time it’s different. Huo Chi belongs to the third branch and actually doesn’t have much say in the Huo Family. The decision-makers are those who control the power within the Huo Family.”

Jiang Jing asked, “Who is coming this time?”

Jiang Shaocheng didn’t conceal it, “I heard it’s Huo Lin himself coming; specifics are unknown, but the visitor certainly holds a high position.”

Jiang Jing was somewhat surprised, “Why does the Huo Family always come to Yuncheng?”

“Naturally, it’s for that Tianqi matter,” Jiang Shaocheng wasn’t involved, but he knew a bit, “This time they are invited for the launch of a new product by Tianqi.”

Jiang Jing wasn’t very interested; it was none of her concern.

Jiang Shaocheng’s expression turned serious, “If you don’t want to go abroad, you need to make the Huo Family value you enough to enter Huo Corporation. That would give you enough prestige, and plenty of people will come to compliment you afterward.”

Jiang Jing suddenly saw the light.

She had been fixated on Tianqi and overlooked Huo Corporation.

“Huo Corporation is no less than Tianqi,” Xu Qiao said, “but be careful not to let Qiao Yun get ahead.”
