The Time-Limited Love and Marriage
Chapter 173

Chapter 173: Chapter 173

Jiang Moxi walked slowly over and just so happened to hear Lai Xueer’s rant about the BMW and the bicycle. She casually took out a small mirror from her bag and placed it in front of Lai Xueer.

"Take a good look at yourself now, in no position to argue whether you’re crying in a BMW or laughing on a broken bicycle. He really just wanted to help you, it has nothing to do with anything else..."

Lai Xueer quickly saw herself in the mirror; not only was her face bruised and swollen, but she also had two streaks of blood dripping from her nose, making her appearance completely unrecognizable and especially ridiculous.

Even she despised her own appearance, so what about others?

But even with a deep understanding of her current state, Lai Xueer still liked to shift the blame for her misfortune onto others.

"It’s you, both of you!"

She pointed at Jiang Moxi and Ling Ye, her voice full of accusation.

"Last night it was only the two of you there, it must have been you who told that shrew, and even let her come to this charity event to confront me!"

"Are you two green-eyed monsters? Why can’t you stand to see others happy, insisting on sabotaging the happiness within their reach?"

Lai Xueer’s hysterical blaming finally destroyed the last bit of pity Ling Ye had for her in his heart.

"You’re beyond help! Fine, we’ll stay out of your affairs from now on, just fend for yourself."

Then, Ling Ye grabbed Jiang Moxi’s wrist, called over his friends, and quickly left.

Lai Xueer, knowing she had embarrassed herself, quickly left University Street covering herself with the coat Ling Ye had given her.

Soon, the charity event resumed normal order, as if nothing had happened.

But Jiang Moxi and Ling Ye, back at their stall, still clarified, "I deleted the photos yesterday."

"I know it was definitely not you, if you really couldn’t stand her, you wouldn’t waste words and would have handled it physically."

Ling Ye, having interacted with Jiang Moxi for a while now, really liked her straightforward and no-nonsense temperament.

He also said, "Wei Hong was clearly well-prepared, she probably discovered Cao Hongcai’s infidelity a long time ago and has been gathering evidence to sue for divorce and leave him with nothing. Probably last night she purposefully leaked the information to gather evidence."

After this incident, he truly wouldn’t concern himself with Lai Xueer’s mess anymore.

So, after reflecting, Ling Ye said, "Let’s not talk about those unrelated people anymore, I’m going to meet my uncle tonight, and I’ll see if I can help you get his photo."

Jiang Moxi gave a sly grin, "Do you believe I can become your aunt in minutes?"

She still had her marriage certificate with Fu Youhan, becoming Ling Ye’s aunt was just a matter of showing it.

But Ling Ye was unconcerned, "Don’t be silly, you’re so young, how could my uncle possibly like you?"

Jiang Moxi: "..."

She was too embarrassed to tell Ling Ye that his uncle, who supposedly didn’t like young girls, had been in her bed every night.

Meanwhile, Luoxia was applying a facial mask, preparing for an afternoon high-society tea party.

But then, a phone call changed everything, and Luoxia immediately ripped off her face mask.

"What? Jiang Moxi moved into Si Lin’s apartment at Four Seasons Cloud Top?"

Luoxia’s face contorted with fury.

"Damn Jiang Moxi! Knowing full well I am Si Lin’s girlfriend, yet she still dares to secretly liaise with Si Lin, she really won’t cry until she sees the coffin!"

After cursing for a while, Luoxia made another phone call.

"Kidnap Jiang Moxi, and remember to use some skills; she knows Kung Fu."

Luoxia had already suffered a setback from Jiang Moxi once before; this time, she didn’t want to come up empty-handed again.

After hanging up the phone, Luoxia laughed triumphantly.

Jiang Moxi, the humiliation you caused me before, I will definitely return it twofold this time!

Jiang Moxi finished a day’s charity event and was preparing to return to Four Seasons Cloud Top.

As she crossed the street, a hand grabbed Jiang Moxi’s wrist.

Jiang Moxi turned around and saw an old woman trembling with each step.

"Sweet girl, can you help me find my family?"

She smiled at Jiang Moxi, her smile quite kind.

"Are you lost?" Jiang Moxi asked her.

"Um, I came out to enjoy the sun this afternoon, but now the sun has gone down, I can’t find my way home."

The temperature in Yan City had dropped quite a bit these past couple of days, especially today with the wind, the old woman was shivering in her quilted jacket.

Jiang Moxi asked, "How about I take you to the police station?"

"The police station works, as long as you can help me find my family."

The old woman seemed somewhat happy, which temporarily dispelled Jiang Moxi’s doubts.

Jiang Moxi took her and started heading towards a nearby police station.

However, as they walked, the old woman suddenly took a spray can out of her pocket and sprayed it quickly towards Jiang Moxi’s face.

By the time Jiang Moxi realized something was wrong, she had swiftly held her breath, but still quite a bit of the spray entered her nostrils.

In that instant, she felt much of her strength being drained away, and her consciousness began to blur.

At that moment, a white van pulled up next to them, and they quickly dragged Jiang Moxi onto the van and sped away...

About half an hour later, Jiang Moxi was brought to an abandoned factory.

"She’s really pretty, her skin is like soft tofu."

"Pretty soon you guys will have a good time, I can make her suffer in silence."

Jiang Moxi hadn’t inhaled much of the drug and had sobered up early.

Hearing their conversation, Jiang Moxi quietly opened her eyes to take a look.

Seeing Luoxia posturing like a tough lady, negotiating with a few sleazy-looking men, was somewhat unexpected to Jiang Moxi.

At that moment, Luoxia happened to look towards Jiang Moxi and noticed she had opened her eyes and was watching her.

"You woke up quite quickly, but that’s good too," Luoxia slowly walked towards Jiang Moxi with her hands together.

"Why are you kidnapping me? We have no grudges between us."

Jiang Moxi sat up, her tone light and airy, her demeanor calm, not seeming like someone who had been kidnapped, but more like someone invited as a guest.

"No grudges? Ha..."

After a cold laugh, Luoxia began to shout.

"Jiang Moxi, you humiliated me in front of so many people last time, isn’t that a grudge? And, you clearly knew that I was officially dating Si Lin, yet you moved into his apartment!"

As clever as Jiang Moxi, she quickly realized the matter of the rental was Si Lin’s trick.

So, she explained coldly, "Last time I hit you because you were spreading false rumors, teaching you a lesson was proper. As for moving into Young Master Si’s apartment... I really didn’t know the apartment was under his name, if I had known, I definitely wouldn’t have moved in."

Jiang Moxi had no interest in dealing with troublesome spoiled young ladies, so after explaining, she asked again, "Okay, I’ve explained everything clearly, can you let me go now?"

But Luoxia said, "Do you think this is a marketplace? You think I’ll let you go just because you argued your case? Wishful thinking!"

Then, she signaled with her eyes to those sleazy men.

"Don’t you want her? What are you waiting for?"

Just like that, the sleazy men rubbed their hands in anticipation, surrounding Jiang Moxi...
