She had told the servant in advance that she would be sleeping all morning and not to disturb her, but to be on standby at all times. Then she locked the door from the inside, stayed in the room alone, took out her phone, and started to contact Cheng Yanxia.
She wasn't worried that Yanxia wouldn't come to the appointment, because she had what Yanxia wanted to know the most. People with curiosity were often at a disadvantage and the easiest to be manipulated.
She took out her phone and dialed Yanxia's number. It rang for a long time before Yanxia answered.
Jiang Yue restrained the hatred in her heart and said to her in a calm voice, "Cheng Yanxia, I want to talk to you."
Yanxia frowned. She could tell that Jiang Yue's voice was calm at the moment, but this calmness was very strange. Since she had already decided that Yanxia was the one who had harmed her, how could she talk to her so calmly?
Yanxia was silent for a moment. "What do you want to talk to me about? Haven't you already decided that I'm the one who framed you? What else is there to talk about between us?"
"Yes, because I know what you've always wanted to know. I know everything about the past." As if afraid that Yanxia would reject her, she said eagerly, "Qianzhou didn't love me and suddenly rejected me clearly. It's all because of you. I can tell you everything. I believe you'll be happy to leave him voluntarily after you hear it. If you leave him, he will definitely marry me."
Jiang Yue had portrayed the image of a woman who was infatuated to the extreme. She deliberately said such things because she was afraid that Yanxia wouldn't come and even more afraid that she would guess her purpose.
Perhaps because she had heard too many people say such things recently, Yanxia was in no mood to deal with her.
Judging from Jiang Yue's current level of madness, who knew what extreme things she might do. It was better for her not to see this person.
"I'm not interested in competing with you. Whether you can get married or not has nothing to do with me. There's nothing to talk about."
"No, you must come and see me." Jiang Yue glanced at the clock on the wall. "You already know the current situation, right? You're not the only one in danger. If you don't find a way to stop the losses in time, not only Fang Jiangyi but even Qianzhou may be in danger. They were both my best friends, so I know the stakes very well. If you don't want to watch them die, then come and see me. I'll be waiting for you at the Left Bank Café in an hour."
The phone was hung up. Yanxia maintained the posture of holding the phone and didn't move for a long time.
As she had expected, there must have been many shared memories among the three of them.
But why did the three of them suddenly go their separate ways? For what reason did Jiang Yue choose to distance herself from Fang Jiangyi together with Lu Qianzhou? There must be a reason for this.
"Boss." Zhou Qi called her from the side.
"Cancel my afternoon schedule." Yanxia grabbed her phone and stood up, ready to go to the appointment. "Also, find two reliable people to follow me."
Zhou Qi hesitated to speak. He wanted to persuade her not to go, but in the end, he didn't stop her. Instead, he immediately contacted Third Master Lu and reported the situation here.
An hour later, Yanxia arrived as promised. She wore a mask and sunglasses and came with a completely bare face. She was very low - key.
Since Lan Mengfan left, she hadn't smiled for a long time. Life seemed to have lost all its colors and sweetness, and she couldn't smile anymore.
Jiang Yue had been staying in the hospital these days. Although her mental state wasn't very good and she had lost a lot of weight, thanks to the careful care of her family, her skin was in good condition. She put on a delicate makeup to not lose her momentum, especially in front of this person she hated so much.
When she first met Cheng Yanxia, in her eyes, Yanxia was just a naive young girl, green and innocent, and all her little tricks couldn't escape others' eyes.
At that time, she was still the high - and - mighty Miss Jiang and never thought that this young girl would cause her any trouble or threat.
But now, reality had slapped her hard in the face and made her deeply realize her own self - conceit.
She was at the end of her rope and couldn't live on at all. If she couldn't get rid of this thorn in her side, even if the price was to die together with her, she was willing.
"Since you're here, it means you still care about Qianzhou." Jiang Yue took the initiative to speak, crossing her arms in front of her chest as if she lacked a sense of security. "I once told you that your father, together with a group of people, ruined Qianzhou's life. Do you still remember?"
"Qianzhou and I were childhood sweethearts and grew up together. If it weren't for the accident caused by your father, I might already be his wife by now, and maybe we would even have several children."
If that were the case, there would be no place for Cheng Yanxia later.
All evil had its karma. The evil her father had committed back then was now being passed on to Cheng Yanxia. So she had lost her sister, her love, and her daughter.
"Back then, the incident involving his mother involved many forces and caused a big and ugly stir. In order to silence the public and not affect the careers of some high - ranking officials, Qianzhou's father chose to let it go. Leave something today for a better meeting in the future. Qianzhou was very young at that time, but he was determined to seek justice for his mother. In the end, he was grounded by Uncle Lu. Once he lost his power, everyone thought that this child from the Lu family would never have a chance to make a name for himself in the future, so they all chose to stay away from him."
Yanxia looked at her and listened to her words silently.
The waiter came to serve Yanxia coffee. Yanxia instinctively reached out and took a sip of the coffee. Jiang Yue's eyes flashed, and her eyelashes trembled a few times, hiding the thoughts in her eyes.
She continued, "But I didn't know what had happened at that time. My father told me never to see him again and not to have any expectations for him. You were also a rich second - generation. You should understand the act of being a sycophant very well. I wanted to stay by his side, but my father didn't allow it. So... in the end, I still left him."
Jiang Yue said this with a touch of sadness. It was the most regrettable decision of her life.
"Later, his personality changed greatly, and he was sent abroad by Uncle Lu. I didn't know how to make up for the harm I had done to him. I really wanted to go back to his side, and the Lu family happened to think the same way. So I became his nominal girlfriend."
But from that moment on, there was no chance of redemption.
The only possible chance between him and her was thus missed. Years of love and hatred flashed through her mind one by one. There were no wrinkles at the corners of her eyes yet, but her heart was already covered with the frost of the morning.
"I've never done anything vicious in my life. I've always hated those who would do anything to achieve their goals. But now I've forced myself to become such a person, and it's all because of you."
Jiang Yue smiled bitterly. "Cheng Yanxia, now I don't want anything. I only want Qianzhou. I just want a chance for him and me. Please don't see him anymore. I beg you, don't get close to him anymore. Since you don't plan to give him any future, then stop using him."
