The Time-Limited Love and Marriage
Chapter 217

Chapter 217: Chapter 217

"Qin Shuang went to Night Color to cause trouble for Dingding a few days ago, and then pretended to faint. We exposed her on the spot..."

Jiang Moxi wanted to continue, suggesting if Ye Chen didn’t believe her, they could ask the waiter or manager present at the time to testify.

She wanted Ye Chen to see just how hypocritical this sickly Qin Shuang was, always using her frail body to act recklessly.

And to make Ye Chen realize how foolish it was to continually hassle Yu Dingding on behalf of that sickly person.

However, what Jiang Moxi hadn’t anticipated was that before Ye Chen could say anything, Yu Dingding spoke up first.

"Moxi, there’s no need to say more, he’s well aware who’s to blame. It’s just that in his eyes, some people can do no wrong, no matter how outrageous, and I’m the demoness who led the fairy astray..."

A slight shock appeared in Jiang Moxi’s clear eyes. She looked at Ye Chen, then at Yu Dingding.

But Yu Dingding appeared calm, with just the hint of discomfort and embarrassment that she couldn’t hide in her reddened eyes.

While Ye Chen stayed in his semi-kneeling position at the bedside, comforting Yu Dingding, but he kept his gaze lowered, not daring to meet Yu Dingding’s eyes.

In that instant, Jiang Moxi understood that Yu Dingding wasn’t lying.

Ye Chen truly knew that all the schemes were orchestrated by Qin Shuang.

Even that time when Qin Shuang went to Night Color to trouble Yu Dingding, he was fully aware.

In that moment, Jiang Moxi also realized that her efforts were somewhat superfluous, and she regretted urging Yu Dingding to accept Ye Chen before.

"Alright, I’ve alarmed both you and Third Master Fu tonight, I’ll make a proper apology another day."

Yu Dingding tactfully sent them away, and of course, Jiang Moxi and Fu Youhan couldn’t continue to stay.

After giving Ye Chen a cold glance, Jiang Moxi said to Yu Dingding: "Then you rest well, I’ll come over to see you tomorrow."

After that, Jiang Moxi pushed Fu Youhan’s wheelchair and they left.

As soon as Jiang Moxi and Fu Youhan departed, Ye Chen seemed as if nothing had happened, wanting to continue consoling Yu Dingding.

But Yu Dingding turned away from him after getting under the covers, and laid down with her back to Ye Chen.

"Young Master Ye, if you can’t bear to make Qin Shuang pay for her mistakes, then don’t stay here and disrupt my sleep and rest."

Ye Chen had just reached out to pull back Yu Dingding’s blanket when his hand suddenly froze in mid-air.

After a while, Ye Chen stood up and said, "Then you rest well, I’ll come to see you tomorrow."

Soon, the sound of the ward door opening and closing could be heard.

Yu Dingding listened to those sounds, tears quietly slipping from the corner of her eyes and dripping onto the blanket...

On the way back to Tianqin Bay, Fu Youhan received a call from Chi Jing.

After a brief conversation, Fu Youhan said nothing and quickly hung up the phone.

But Jiang Moxi knew that it must have been Chi Jing reporting about the mastermind behind the scenes.

So she couldn’t help but ask, "Did that person say it was Qin Shuang who instructed him?"

"He said someone called him and offered to help with his online loans, and told him to do it."

Fu Youhan also said, "Chi Jing found out that this person’s account received a deposit of two hundred thousand this evening, from a Qin Family account, but not Qin Shuang’s."

"So, it means it’s proven that the Qin Family did it, but we can’t be sure it was Qin Shuang?" Jiang Moxi’s tone carried a trace of mockery.

"Xixi, that’s Ye Chen and Yu Dingding’s issue, it has nothing to do with me, don’t take your anger out on me."

When Fu Youhan said this, he was steering with one hand, while his other hand grasped Jiang Moxi’s hand that was resting on her leg.

His warm palm enveloped Jiang Moxi’s cool fingertips.

That bit of warmth also brought Jiang Moxi back to her senses.

"Sorry..."

Indeed, it was Ye Chen’s inaction that was at fault, and Fu Youhan had nothing to do with it, yet she had unduly directed her anger at him.

Jiang Moxi came to her senses belatedly and found it somewhat unbelievable.

But just as Jiang Moxi was reflecting on whether her behavior stemmed from Fu Youhan being too good to her recently, which made her act so recklessly, she heard Fu Youhan suddenly ask:

"Xixi, what exactly did you do in the past? Why is your method of tying someone up so professional?"

Jiang Moxi turned back in astonishment, only to see Fu Youhan still focused on the traffic ahead.

Nevertheless, she still felt her heart jump to her throat.

Fortunately, she managed to keep her panic from showing on her face.

She just smiled shallowly at Fu Youhan, yet her gaze seemed to drift far away: "I used to kill pigs. Occasionally, when the pigs were disobedient and wouldn’t be slaughtered willingly, I had to tie them up..."

"Killing pigs?" Fu Youhan suddenly remembered, he had previously instructed Chi Jing to investigate Jiang Moxi’s background.

Indeed, the records showed that she was adopted by a breeding family after the age of five.

So, they raised pigs?

"Mhm, killing pigs every day, and when tired, I would sleep."

Jiang Moxi’s gaze fell on the scenery passing by outside the car window, recalling the times she roamed the lands with Feng Ming and Xuanming.

But if Fu Youhan knew that the pigs she referred to were not the same kind he thought of, he would probably be frightened of her, wouldn’t he?

Jiang Moxi closed her eyes wearily.

Seeing Jiang Moxi in that state, Fu Youhan thought he had touched upon some sad memory of hers, so he dared not to continue probing.

Later that night, he used every trick he had to make Jiang Moxi forget all the unpleasant memories of the evening...

The next morning, Jiang Moxi went to the Information Security Department.

Today’s course had progressed to coding programming, so each person was provided with a laptop.

Jiang Moxi showed little interest in the content Xiao Zhi discussed; she simply plugged in a USB drive into the laptop, tracked down Qin Shuang’s IP address after a while, and then proceeded to break through her security one by one.

Since Ye Chen would not help her avenge Yu Dingding’s injury, she, Jiang Moxi, would take matters into her own hands.

When Jiang Moxi hit the "enter" key, a list of items Qin Shuang had recently purchased online appeared on the screen.

Probably due to ill health, Qin Shuang ordered many items online.

Even some expensive luxury goods were clearly listed among her purchases.

Jiang Moxi casually looked through them, then zeroed in on a facial mask Qin Shuang frequently repurchased, and decided to tamper with it...

By the time she had finished dealing with this, Kou Fei came up and asked, "Have you finished the software from yesterday? It’s time to submit it."

Jiang Moxi, upon Kou Fei’s approach, immediately switched the computer screen to a gaming interface.

Turning around, Jiang Moxi saw Kou Fei, and alongside her stood Jiang Weiwei.

Jiang Weiwei carried a small basket, filled with several USB drives, looking triumphantly at Jiang Moxi.

Indeed, Xiao Zhi, because he had accepted yet another designer handbag from Yu Man as a gift for his wife, had appointed Jiang Weiwei as the class monitor.

Now, Jiang Weiwei could oversee all the students, feeling her status was innumerable notches above these ordinary students, as if she had already stepped one foot into the National Security Department.

Her gaze towards Jiang Moxi was undisguised contempt, as if her eyes were telling Jiang Moxi:

"You tried so hard and flaunted your body just to get into the Information Security Department, yet you haven’t even secured a nominal position. Whereas I, Jiang Weiwei, became the monitor the moment I entered the department, the slot for the National Security Department in the future will also be mine. What do you have to compete against me with?"

Unfortunately for Jiang Weiwei, Jiang Moxi did not comprehend the inner drama playing in her mind and quickly responded: "Not yet, I’ll make one now."

With that, she started to tap rapidly on the computer.

"Actually, Moxi, you are not really cut out for studying, we know it. Look, you tried so hard to squeeze in, yet you can’t even submit your homework, how meaningless is that?"

"If I didn’t have to go to dance class and piano lessons today, I wouldn’t mind giving you a hand..."

Jiang Weiwei, while trying to subtly demean Jiang Moxi, did not forget to perpetuate her own image as benevolent and noble.

However, she had barely finished speaking before Jiang Moxi pulled out the USB drive with the software she had just saved and dropped it into Jiang Weiwei’s small basket...
