Xia Junsheng caught up with Su Yayan and asked tentatively, “Do you have bad blood with Ning Qirui?”
“No.”
Xia Junsheng did not believe her and pressed on. “Then what was going on with you guys just now…”
“What was going on with us just now? I don’t deny that he may have some misunderstandings about me, but that was indeed the first time we had met.”
Su Yayan’s words sounded simple, but they were heavily laced with meaning.
Who would treat strangers they were meeting for the first time with such hostility if there was no reason? Especially since the other party knew who she was, her full name, and her family background.
Since Su Yayan himself had no animosity with him, someone must have been telling him things.
Xia Junsheng’s eyes glimmered slightly, but he knew what to do later.
Su Yayan glanced at Xia Junsheng and then reminded him. “Bro Junsheng, you are more familiar with the upper-class circles in China than I am. Did the words Ning and Qi transpire you to think of anything else?”
Ning and Qi? Xia Junsheng contemplated for a moment. Suddenly it seemed that he understood something, and his face changed drastically. “You mean…”
“You should take precautions early on with regards to this matter.”
“Precautions?” Xia Junsheng froze for a few seconds before saying, “Was what you said true? He really is…”
Su Yayan looked at him with a meaningful smile. She did not confirm nor deny the question in his eyes.
Xia Junsheng felt his heart becoming unsure. “How… How did you know?”
“What if I said I saw it with my eyes?”
“You can see it with your eyes?” Xia Junsheng eyed her suspiciously.
He also observed Ning Qirui up close just now. His complexion was rosy, and he did not even have dark circles under his eyes. How did Su Yayan see that he was sick?
“Then why don’t you examine my body? Do I have any… unmentionable disorders like Ning Qirui?”
Su Yayan took a step back when she heard his question, and her eyes swept over Xia Junsheng. She smiled faintly and said, “You are in good health, but you have heat in your liver. Don’t always burn the midnight oil. Also, you ought to smoke less often in the future. If you can stop smoking entirely, that would be the best.”
Xia Junsheng had the habit of smoking a cigarette whenever he was nervous or stressed. He was a light smoker, and he was not addicted to it.
However, once he encountered an urgent deadline or a more complicated task, he could puff away on a few cigarettes at a time.
Few people knew about this habit of his, and Su Yuxuan was one of them.
Upon hearing Su Yayan’s words, the first thought that came to Xia Junsheng’s mind was if Su Yuxuan had told her about it? Do people share the living habits of their friends in such detail with their sisters?
This topic ended here and did not continue.
Su Yayan knew that Xia Junsheng did not fully believe her and might even use it as a small means to retaliate against Ning Qirui.
Even if he did not fully believe it, he already had doubts in his heart. Coupled with Ning Qirui’s identity, any regular person would be more cautious and pay attention to matters related to him.
The Ning Qi families would help Wen Jingping and Ning Qirui regardless. On the one hand, it was because of the plot armor and the irreversibility of the plot. On the other hand, it was likely that they had shifted their emotion for Ning Qirui to Wen Jingping after his demise.
After all, the words of the dead weighed more heavily than the words of the living. If Ning Qirui were alive, would his family still be able to stand up for an outsider involved with someone else?
What was more, when Ning Qirui finally sees Wen Jingping’s true colors and finds out that she was willing to do anything for other men and even hurt his family over it, would he continue to be her faithful lapdog?
Thinking of this, Su Yayan looked forward to the future a little more.
