CHAPTER 222: CHAPTER 222: EACH CUP GREENER THAN THE LAST

"What are you hitting for? He’s my fiancé. This villa will be mine in the future. Why do I need your permission to come here?"

Li Qingqing instructed her assistant to snatch Mrs. Li’s phone away.

Ye Ningwan happened to come down from upstairs and, upon seeing this scene, sneered coldly: "Since he’s your fiancé, why are you afraid of Mrs. Li calling him? Or does he not know you’re here and you’re scared he’ll find out?"

Li Qingqing glared at Ye Ningwan with anger in her eyes.

"Ye Ningwan, you are truly shameless. You know that Zhan Hanjue is my fiancé, yet he keeps you hidden. So this is the proud Divine Doctor Bai Zhi, willing to be an unscrupulous mistress."

"Unscrupulous mistress? You’re the mistress. Our Miss Ye is the legitimate partner. She no longer wants Zhan Hanjue, that’s why you have a chance." Wangyue retorted angrily.

Ye Ningwan laughed and said, "Well said, Wangyue. I didn’t know you’re not only skilled at fighting but also so sharp-tongued."

"Of course, after watching so many TV dramas, I have quite a bit of experience cursing venomous supporting characters." Wangyue said proudly.

Ye Ningwan said, "But you can’t beat Miss Li in arguing, she’s been in a lot of dramas and played many villainous roles. Even memorizing lines, she’s smoother than you."

Li Qingqing’s face stiffened, she hadn’t expected Ye Ningwan to see through her thoughts.

She had intended to use vicious language to humiliate her.

Most women have pride.

Especially a proud woman like her.

Therefore, hearing such insulting words, she certainly wouldn’t be able to stand it and would leave in a huff.

By then, what could Zhan Hanjue do?

If she leaves.

Unable to stand a few words, it’s not her fault.

But Ye Ningwan saw through all her thoughts.

Li Qingqing’s face turned even uglier.

However, she didn’t want to let go of this opportunity.

"Ye Ningwan, since you understand everything. You should know how despicable it is to seduce someone else’s husband."

"You’re not married yet, it’s a bit early to call him husband." Ye Ningwan reminded her.

Li Qingqing sneered, "But we will get married soon, in three days! In three days, I’ll be Madam Zhan, and that’s a fact you can’t change."

"Then come and question me as Madam Zhan in three days. For now, put away that act of a legitimate wife. Besides, I’m considered Zhan Hanjue’s ex-wife. Compared to someone unsure if she can marry Zhan Hanjue, I seem to have more authority to speak." Ye Ningwan said.

Li Qingqing was so angry her face turned green.

Every reason she gave was instantly rebutted, leaving her speechless.

"But since it’s not easy for you to come here, you must want me to ask you a couple more questions. So, as you wish, why did Zhan Hanjue agree to marry you?" Ye Ningwan continued.

Li Qingqing finally felt she had the upper hand, snorted and said proudly, "Do I even need to say? Of course, because he likes me and loves me, otherwise, given his personality, how could he agree?"

Ye Ningwan rolled her eyes, "To say such self-deceiving lies? You really live up to being an actress."

"What self-deceiving? I’m telling the truth. Otherwise, why do you think Zhan Hanjue wants to marry me?" Li Qingqing asked back.

Ye Ningwan said, "Although I don’t know the specific reason, it’s definitely not because of love. Otherwise, shall we test it?"

"Test what?"

Ye Ningwan curled her lips, giving a knowing glance to Wangyue.

Wangyue understood and immediately called Zhan Hanjue on the phone.

As expected, as soon as Zhan Hanjue heard Li Qingqing was at the villa, he quickly came over.

When Ye Ningwan saw Zhan Hanjue coming, she quickly covered her face, her eyes red, her expression both sorrowful and wronged.

Zhan Hanjue immediately went to her side, asking, "What’s wrong?"

Ye Ningwan, both ashamed and angry, pushed him away, "You’re asking what’s wrong? Your fiancée came over to accuse and humiliate me, even hitting me, you two simply bully people too much."

Zhan Hanjue was shocked, he immediately turned his face angrily towards Li Qingqing, "Did you hit her?"

"I didn’t, I didn’t even touch her with a single finger." Li Qingqing anxiously defended herself.

She never expected Ye Ningwan to be so manipulative, blatantly telling lies with her eyes open.

From the moment she entered to now, she had only talked to her, not even touching her finger.

Yet, she still falsely accused herself of hitting her, utterly shameless.

"Li Qingqing, whether or not you laid a hand on me, you know in your heart. Why tell such deceiving words?" Ye Ningwan sneered coldly.

Li Qingqing saw Zhan Hanjue’s increasingly cold gaze, "I really didn’t lay a hand on her. If you don’t believe me, you can ask Xiao Ke."

Xiao Ke, being Li Qingqing’s assistant, immediately nodded: "Mr. Zhan, our Qingqing didn’t lay a hand on her. Not to mention laying a hand, she didn’t even win in words."

...

"Right, I didn’t even win in words."

Though saying this was somewhat embarrassing.

However, Li Qingqing couldn’t care less about embarrassment, first clearing her own name, playing the victim.

"Your assistant is your person, of course, she’ll speak for you. Wangyue can also testify whether you hit me or not." Ye Ningwan sneered.

Wangyue immediately stood up, "Of course she hit, it’s just that I didn’t prevent it in time, otherwise, would she have been able to hurt Miss Ye?"

Mrs. Li stepped forward and said to Zhan Hanjue, "Sir, this lady forcibly barged in and indeed used her hands."

After speaking, she coldly glanced at Li Qingqing.

Li Qingqing never imagined this Mrs. Li would side with Ye Ningwan too.

However, not only Li Qingqing didn’t expect it, but Ye Ningwan didn’t either.

She glanced at Mrs. Li.

Mrs. Li, expressionless, lowered her head, making it impossible to tell she was lying.

Zhan Hanjue strode over to Li Qingqing, raised his hand, and slapped her.

Li Qingqing was stunned by the hit, she covered her face, unbelievingly looking at him.

Zhan Hanjue coldly said, "I remember warning you not to lay a hand on her. Don’t think I really dare not lay a hand on a woman."

"Zhan Hanjue, are you stupid? They’re deliberately joining forces to deceive and frame me, can’t you see?" Li Qingqing angrily questioned.

Zhan Hanjue’s face was stern, his eyes ice-cold as he looked at her.

Li Qingqing felt a chill under his gaze.

It’s not that he couldn’t see, it’s not that he’s stupid.

He just loves Ye Ningwan too much, as long as there’s a slightest chance of hurting her, he couldn’t tolerate it.

"I said before, she’s my bottom line." The man warned again coldly.

Xiao Ke stepped forward to support Li Qingqing.

Li Qingqing gritted her teeth and said to Xiao Ke, "Let’s go."

After speaking, she left with Xiao Ke.

Ye Ningwan watched Li Qingqing leave in defeat, but felt more of an indescribable sadness rather than joy.

Zhan Hanjue turned to support her but was pushed away.

He thought she was still angry about Li Qingqing, immediately raised his hand, and swore, "I truly didn’t know she’d come, I promise, she’ll never bother you again."

"Zhan Hanjue, I’m not angry because of her, you know what I’m angry about." Ye Ningwan looked at him coldly.

Zhan Hanjue lowered his head, "I’m sorry."

Ye Ningwan scoffed.

"Wangyue, let’s go."

Ye Ningwan left with Wangyue.
