Chapter 246 - Tit For Tat
Chapter 246 – Tit For Tat
Lai Chang stared at him with fury and jealousy burning in his heart. He never understood why a woman like Jiang Lanying would ever like Jiang Li.
She was always the closest to him, yet in the blink of an eye, Jiang Li came and swept her off her feet. No matter how many times she rejected him, he was sure that one day or the other, she would definitely agree.
But Jiang Li came and ruined everything for him.
Hou Zhenzhen quickly said, "Jiang Li, please don't spread lies. Chang and I are engaged now. Of course, he doesn't think about Lanying that way. His feelings for her in the past."
Jiang Li sneered. "Are you trying to convince me or yourself?"
Ohhh savage, Lihua thought. I would never want to stand at that position.
Jiang Lanying tried to intervene in fight. "Please don't fight. We will come to your party."
She peeked at Jiang Li and asked, "Is it okay? We can just stay for an hour and then leave…" she whispered.
He nodded.
Hou Zhenzhen was her cousin, so she was still her family. It wouldn't look good if she didn't come to the party. Though Jiang Li didn't care about it, he knew that she did.
She smiled. "Thank you."
Jiang Li coldly said as he squinted his gaze at them. "If you are done, we are leaving."
He grabbed her wrist and pulled her.
"Ow!"
Jiang Lanying stumbled. Lihua widened her eyes. "What happened to you? Wait, your ankle looks so swollen! How did you get hurt?"
"I-I fell and twisted my ankle…"
Jiang Li immediately bent and placed her foot on his knee.
"L-Li! I am alright. You don't have to-"
"Sshh."
He checked it and found that it had indeed turned a bit red. He narrowed his eyes. "How did you fall?"
Hou Zhenzhen slightly stiffened. She quickly said, "It's my fault. I-I bumped into Lanying accidentally and she fell…I am really sorry, Lanying. Please forgive me…" she bit her lip.
Ugh…
Lihua wished to puke seeing her white lotus acting.
She definitely did it on purpose! This woman! How dare she hurt my sister-in-law!?
Jiang Li slowly raised his head and his icy gaze almost made her faint. "Bump? Or push?"
"Push? Why will I push Lanying?" She gasped.
Lai Chang said, "Enough Jiang Li. You don't have to show off your power here and accuse Zhenzhen."
He looked at Lanying. "Lanying, I understand that he is your husband but Zhenzhen is your cousin too who you have grew up with. How can you let him accuse her?"
Hou Zhenzhen faintly smiled. "Chang, leave it. Lanying is now Jiang family's daughter-in-law. She wouldn't…"
Jiang Lanying said, "I-"
Lihua put her hand on her shoulder and shook her head.
Jiang Li picked her in his arms, making her softly gasp. Her hands automatically wrapped around his neck.
Lai Chang's brow twitched witnessing the scene and he cursed.
"Li. I am fine. I can walk."
"And aggravate your injury even more?" He sharply asked.
She parted her lips to speak but couldn't retort anything in the end.
"Patients should keep quiet."
Lihua was speechless.
Is he rude or caring?
Jiang Li said, "I am taking Lanying to the hospital. Bro, leave without us."
Wei nodded.
Carrying Lanying in his arms, he swiftly left.
Hou Zhenzhen said, "Of course, Mr. Jiang and his wife are also invited to our party."
"Sure…" Lihua slowly said.
Now that she knew her true nature, she wanted to be a part of this party too and make sure that she didn't hurt Jiang Lanying like she did today.

Outside, Hou Zhenzhen ran after Lai Chang. "Chang, wait for me! Are you angry that I call them?"
He glared at her. "Who told you that you could call them!?"
She pursed her lips. "Chang, Lanying is still my cousin. Of course I have to invite her as my family. And…if you have forgotten about her, then you shouldn't have any problem with it."
She touched his arm and said as her eyelashes trembled. "Chang, do you still…"
"Oh shut up! I don't care about her anymore!"
He sat in the car, feeling frustrated. Hou Zhenzhen bit her lip and clenched her dress.
Damn it!
She was about to climb in the car too when a motorbike came out of nowhere and suddenly knocked her on the road. She crashed on the ground with a hard fall.
"Ahhh!!!"
Lai Chang widened his eyes and immediately stepped out of the car. He looked at the biker who was already speeding away.
"Hey you! Are you blind!? Come back!" He shouted.
"Chang…my leg…" she burst into tears. The pain was so excruciating that she wanted to faint. The biker had rammed the bike from on top of her foot that almost broke her bone. She was also hurt at the arm and chest with how violently the bike had hit her.
"Chang my foot…"
Lai Chang cursed and carried her in his arms. "Fuck! Let me get my hands on that man! How the hell he was driving like that!?"
He put her into the car and quickly left for the hospital.

Inside the car, Jiang Li's phone buzzed with a call. He coldly picked it with a dangerous glint in his eyes. "Hm?"
"Done, Boss. I rammed my beauty into that ugly woman."
"Get to the point."
He shuddered sensing the chilliness in his voice. He gulped.
"I did what you said. I have ruined her foot. She was bleeding and crying like a bitch."
"Good."
He cut the call.
The biker wiped the sweat off his forehead.
"That poor woman. Ah…just how did you offend Boss? It's never a good thing to make him angry," he sighed.
In the car, Jiang Lanying asked, "Who was it?"
"Work call."
"I see."
He looked at her and lifted her chin as he peered in her eyes. "Next time, don't play guessing games. She pushed you so say it straightway. Got it?"
