She used to be such a proud woman, but now she was willing to plead with her so humbly for Lu Qianzhou.
Because now she clearly understood that she was no longer the former Jiang Yue. She had lost the qualification to compete with her.
In her eyes, Cheng Yanxia was just using Lu Qianzhou now. She took advantage of his feelings to get protection from him and exploited the power behind him, trying to suck the last drop of blood from him.
Yanxia listened to her words quietly. It seemed that she sensed Jiang Yue's desperation and pity. Maybe because she remembered that Meng Fan had a similar experience, her heart ached softly.
Yanxia curled her lips and forced a bitter smile.
"It's not that serious. Because Lu Qianzhou's father hates me even more than you do. Even if you didn't say anything, he wouldn't give me another chance to use Lu Qianzhou. Whether you and he can get back together depends on your own efforts. It has nothing to do with anyone else."
She always failed to tell the important from the trivial. She still thought she was the high - and - mighty young lady as before, believing that everyone should submit to her.
A hint of coldness gradually appeared in Jiang Yue's eyes. Clearly, it was this woman who had ruined everything of hers. What right did she have to talk to her in such a superior manner?
But for her own plan, Jiang Yue took a deep breath, suppressing her hatred and speaking to her in a gentle tone, "As long as you leave him and never get close to him again, there will still be a chance for him and me."
Yanxia had nothing more to say. The relationship between them had reached a dead end. Anything said at this moment would seem so pale.
She nodded approvingly, "I hope you can achieve your wish."
Actually, from the very beginning, Yanxia knew that there would always be some competition between her and Jiang Yue. Since she realized that Jiang Yue also had feelings for Lu Qianzhou, she knew that such a day would come sooner or later.
But now, she had taken the initiative to withdraw. It was hard to tell who had won and who had lost between them.
"Remember what you said today." Jiang Yue picked up a cup of hot water, raised it and said loudly, "From now on, we'll keep out of each other's way. I won't interfere in anything of yours anymore. I'll use tea instead of wine to prove my determination."
Yanxia also raised her cup and drank up the hot water. At this stage, for her, the fewer enemies, the better.
After drinking the water, Yanxia put the transparent cup back on the table. Faintly, a white powder residue could be seen at the bottom of the cup, which made one's hair stand on end.
Jiang Yue's eyes were unfocused. She stared blankly at a certain place for a long time. It was not until Yanxia walked out of the door that she looked back at her.
"Cheng Yanxia." Jiang Yue showed a crazy smile. "I really do want to cut ties with you, but I have no idea that you were drugged today. So, I have even less idea what will happen to you next."
She indifferently called the waiter, ordered a cup of hot water, and naturally switched the two cups. She wiped off the fingerprints on the cups and left the coffee shop.
On the other side, after Yanxia walked out of the coffee shop, she walked straight for a long time before the drug took effect. Her vision went completely dark. Her mind was in a daze and her consciousness was blurred. Everything in front of her seemed to be spinning. She couldn't see anything clearly.
She knew something was wrong in her heart. Instinctively, she took out her phone to make a call, but before she could dial a number, her body went limp and she couldn't hold the phone anymore.
At the moment she fainted, the door of a passing car quickly opened. She was pulled into the car in a flash. The door closed, and the car sped away.
At the same time, the people from the Jiang family traced the phone's location to the coffee shop and saw Jiang Yue.
Jiang's mother's eyes were filled with tears. She hugged Jiang Yue tightly and cried, "Yue'er, what are you doing here? How could you just run out without saying a word? Do you know how worried your parents are about you?"
Jiang Yue was in a daze. Recently, her mind would often go blank for a short period. She didn't think about anything. The doctor said that this was a typical escape reaction. She might be trying to avoid something she was afraid to face.
Her vision gradually focused on her mother in front of her. Suddenly, she smiled.
"Mom, my knot in my heart will be untied soon. Don't worry. I'll get better. After I recover, I'll go to Qianzhou again. He will forgive me."
Seeing her sudden abnormal reaction, Jiang's mother was even more stunned.
She clearly felt that there was something wrong with her now, but she couldn't tell exactly what it was.
On the other side, Shangguan Yao almost immediately noticed something was wrong with Yanxia.
He originally wanted to contact Yanxia to remind her of the next move. But since she didn't wear the earpiece, Shangguan Yao decided to give it a try and secretly turned on the pin - shaped camera on the necklace around her neck. As soon as he turned it on, the screen was completely black.
He stared at the screen for a while and heard the conversation between the thugs.
"We've gone to so much trouble to kidnap this woman. Where should we send her now?"
"Just do your job. Don't ask so many unnecessary questions."
"The woman from the Jiang family is really stupid. She actually believed us so easily and obediently lured the woman out for us. She's so pitifully stupid."
It was obvious to anyone that this was a trap of exploitation. How could a smart person like Jiang Yue not see it? Maybe due to excessive grief recently, she had even lost her basic judgment.
Based on these answers, Shangguan Yao was already sure that Yanxia had been set up and kidnapped.
He wasn't panicked because the necklace had a positioning function. As long as the signal didn't disappear, he could always know where Yanxia was being taken.
But he needed to consider whether he could rescue her at the right time and place while ensuring her safety.
Should he tell Lu Qianzhou and Fang Jiangyi this news or rescue her himself with his men? But if he was too obvious, it would arouse suspicion. At present, it was not suitable to spread the fact that Yanxia and he had a close relationship.
On the other side, Lu Qianzhou also received something sent by the mysterious person behind the scenes at the same time.
It was still in the form of an express delivery. When he opened the box, there was a stack of photos of Yanxia being tied up and unconscious. On the top of the box were two big black characters - Act.
That person knew all his progress and also knew that he had seen through his purpose, which was to lead him and Fang Jiangyi to kill each other. Yanxia, as a medium and an intermediary, was the best object to use.
Now that he had guessed the purpose of the person behind the scenes, the person behind the scenes stopped playing charades with him and officially started his plan.
In addition, there was also a small note inside. The four characters "Warm Reminder" looked extremely ironic in his eyes.
"Friendly reminder, the earlier you fulfill my request, the earlier I'll tell you her whereabouts. Is it more important to protect a long - past secret or the living person? Show me your choice with your actions."
