The Time-Limited Love and Marriage
Chapter 61

Chapter 61: Chapter 61

Watching Ling Ye lead his brothers away with vigorous steps, Mu Wanting anxiously fretted.

"Darn, Boss Ling looks like he’s taking it seriously. What can we do? What if he actually starts a vote..."

"Don’t worry, she won’t be chosen."

Jiang Moxi interrupted Mu Wanting.

After all, her current number of votes was still thousands behind Jiang Weiwei’s.

Ling Ye’s brothers couldn’t possibly make up that difference, so she definitely wouldn’t be chosen.

Seeing Jiang Moxi’s calm demeanor, Mu Wanting also felt that her reasoning made sense and eased her worry...

By the time Jiang Moxi finished school, it was already approaching evening.

Just as she stepped out of the school gates, she saw several men in black suits approaching her with a cold gaze.

Jiang Moxi glanced at the way they walked and knew that these men were professionally trained bodyguards.

Moreover, it was clear that they were coming for her.

Actually, it wouldn’t be difficult for her to escape these men on her motorcycle.

But at this time, students were just dismissed and were hanging out outside the school.

If she started a fight here, it could accidentally harm the innocent bystanders.

So without hesitation for more than two seconds, Jiang Moxi quickly headed towards a less-populated road.

Seeing this, the bodyguards naturally followed quickly.

Not far away, Si Lin was sitting in a sports car.

His eyes, hidden behind sunglasses, were fixed on this scene.

Seeing Jiang Moxi heading toward a less populated area, his smile grew even more evident as he followed by driving up.

However, what was strange was that once Si Lin reached this section of the road, he couldn’t find either Jiang Moxi or the bodyguards.

"Just now they clearly came this way, what’s going on?"

Unable to find anyone, Si Lin took off his sunglasses and got out of the car to search.

Just as he was about to turn into another path, something was thrown over his head, followed by a flurry of punches and kicks...

At Night Color’s 9th-floor private room in the evening—

Having not seen Si Lin for a while, Ye Chen asked the others in the room, "Why hasn’t Young Master Si come over tonight? Does anyone know where he went?"

"This evening, when I was on the phone, he said he would come to Night Color tonight, and told me to invite everyone I could, and order whatever we wanted, as he would be treating."

The speaker was Yuan Zhou, whose family was not among the top ranks in Yan City circles, and he was tagging along with Si Lin, essentially his lackey.

So usually, for any big or small matter, Si Lin would instruct Yuan Zhou to handle it.

After Si Lin’s announcement, Yuan Zhou notified a group of people to come and play at Night Color after dinner, now each of them had a beautiful woman arranged by their side.

"Is he treating because of some good news?"

Ye Chen remembered that just yesterday, Si Lin was quite unhappy at Night Color; he thought Si Lin didn’t come because of the upset from yesterday, so he specifically inquired.

Unexpectedly, he learned by chance that Si Lin was celebrating something!

He specifically glanced at Fu Youhan as if asking if he knew what the good news was.

The latter remained indifferent, continuing to drink his wine, seemingly uninterested in everything concerning Si Lin.

Meanwhile, Yuan Zhou, busy kissing and hugging the high-tech-looking beauty in his arms, took a moment to reply to Ye Chen.

"I don’t know; Young Master Si didn’t specify, but his tone sounded very happy."

"Then let’s wait for him to arrive, and ask what the good news is!"

However, the group waited for a long time and still did not see Si Lin arrive.

Yuan Zhou was also getting anxious: "I’ll call again and check."

But the call was made, and no one answered for a long time.

Yuan Zhou sounded a bit worried, "Young Master Si didn’t answer the phone, what’s going on?"

Jiang Moxi, who happened to be pouring wine nearby, said indifferently, "Could it be that he was caught in some immoral act by a righteous person and got beaten up with a sack over his head?"

Her words made everyone around unconsciously shift their gaze towards her.

There were those like Ye Chen who simply enjoyed watching the drama unfold; and those like Fu Youhan and Yu Dingding, pondering why Jiang Moxi would say such a thing; and of course, there were those like Yuan Zhou, a loyal follower of Si Lin, who couldn’t help but feel the need to defend him.

"Even if you had conflicts with Young Master Si, there’s no need for you to curse him with such a sharp tongue. Be careful, trouble can come from your words."

Yuan Zhou happened to be present yesterday when Si Lin had a verbal spat with Jiang Moxi.

That’s why he believed that Jiang Moxi held a grudge against Si Lin and spoke ill of him behind his back.

Jiang Moxi awkwardly said, "You can think whatever you want, I don’t care. After all, I’m not Young Master Si’s lapdog, right?"

Her words seemed to be stepping back, but upon closer consideration, they only added fuel to the fire.

Yuan Zhou was stunned for a moment before he realized he was being insulted as a lapdog. Relying on his drunken courage, he was about to stand up and hit Jiang Moxi.

But just as he had taken a few threatening steps, a cold male voice came through.

"Anyone who wants to make trouble here, get out."

Yuan Zhou immediately stopped in his tracks and looked towards the source of the voice.

He saw a man seated in a wheelchair, his deep black eyes seemingly darker than usual.

The natural air of authority he exuded, whether he was sitting in a wheelchair or not, deterred even the top figures in these circles from misbehaving in front of him.

Not to mention, Yuan Zhou didn’t even rank in this circle.

So, Yuan Zhou quickly put on a flattering smile.

"Third Master Fu, I wouldn’t dare make trouble in front of you. I was just showing off. Please don’t take it personally with someone like me."

Yuan Zhou was good at playing the part of a submissive follower, able to bow and scrape without fear of the surprised looks from others in the private room.

Yet, even when he conceded, he couldn’t help but wonder, what exactly was Jiang Moxi’s relationship with Third Master Fu?

Yesterday, they saw Third Master Fu clashing with Young Master Si and thought it was due to their past grievances.

But now, it seemed he was only trying to prevent Si Lin from harming Jiang Moxi...

So, who exactly is Jiang Moxi?

"If you don’t want to be thrown out, just stay put."

Seeing that Yuan Zhou no longer dared to confront Jiang Moxi sharply, Fu Youhan didn’t pursue kicking anyone out.

With Fu Youhan no longer angry, Yuan Zhou finally returned to his earlier spot and resumed flirting with the beauties.

Fu Youhan then glanced at Jiang Moxi and said, "Come and pour the wine."

Jiang Moxi immediately did as told and began to pour red wine.

But halfway through, Fu Youhan suddenly asked her:

"Are you that righteous person?"

Jiang Moxi was taken aback, and wine spilled.

She had just mentioned it offhand earlier.

But now, it seemed Fu Youhan had taken it to heart...

"Third Master Fu, you must be joking, right? Me, a mere waitress with no background, daring to lay a finger on Young Master Si? That would be a death wish, wouldn’t it?"

Jiang Moxi laughed as she firmly denied it.

Though everyone seemed to be minding their own business, some might have been listening intently to their conversation.

Moreover, hitting someone isn’t exactly a commendable act to begin with.

She was also unsure how Fu Youhan would view her if he knew about her violent approach.

But Fu Youhan’s reply caused ripples in her calm heart.

"If you want to lay a hand on someone, just do it. If anyone dares to say anything, I’ll deal with them one by one..."

As he spoke, Fu Youhan’s gaze met with Yuan Zhou’s.

Sensing something, the latter quickly forced a dry laugh and then looked away.
