Chapter 541 Wanwan’s Ambush: Close the Door and Beat the Dog, Making Her Afraid Once (2)
Duan Linbai wasn’t stupid. He immediately got up and moved to his side. “Are you and Little Sister-in-Law going to cause trouble?”
“Don’t you like watching shows?”
“Who should I invite?”
Fu Chen rubbed the back of the Buddhist scripture with his fingers. “Did you invite Qiao Xiyan and Miss Tang to this event?”
“Of course. She’s my distinguished guest. It’s just that there’s something wrong with her eyes. I’m afraid she can’t attend.”
“Just send the He family an invitation. You don’t have to specify who to invite. Those who should come will come.”
“Why are you being so mysterious? You have to tell me why this time.”
“Tang Jingci.”
Duan Linbai was someone who liked to watch the fun and didn’t mind getting into trouble. He had always been brooding over Tang Jingci’s sudden blindness. “You think there’s someone behind this? The He family?”
Fu Chen lowered his head and continued reading the Buddhist scripture, but Duan Linbai almost exploded.
“F*ck, this family is really haunting us!”
At almost the same time, the He family received an invitation from the Duan Group.
Ever since the filiation banquet incident, the He family had been going downhill. They usually kept a very low profile and were doing charity to improve their notoriety.
The organizer of this event was Duan Linbai. The He family originally thought that they would definitely not be able to receive an invitation, but they didn’t expect great joy to descend from the sky.
Old Madam He immediately got He Xi and He s.h.i.+qing to prepare. She wanted to bring them to attend an event, and the reason was very simple…
The people Duan Linbai to his event were definitely people with status. She wanted to settle the marriage of her two granddaughters.
He Xi originally didn’t want to go, but she had received definite news today that Tang Jingci had gone to the hospital for a checkup and indeed couldn’t see anymore. She was happy, so as soon as Old Madam He suggested this, she agreed to it. He s.h.i.+qing rubbed the invitation card thoughtfully. The entire Beijing circle knew about Duan Linbai and Fu Sinian’s relations.h.i.+p!
Their family and Fu Sinian had a bad relations.h.i.+p. With his personality, it was impossible for him to invite them. There had to be something else…
“Cousin, I’m going to do a beauty treatment. Are you coming?” He Xi hummed a song. The gloominess from before was gone, and her entire face looked radiant.
“I’m not going. I have to make a trip to the company later.” He s.h.i.+qing had always been working at the He Group, and she had always regarded herself as the heir, so she definitely couldn’t be as idle as her.
“Alright then, I’m leaving.”
He s.h.i.+qing stared at her departing back and suddenly guessed why Duan Linbai had invited their family at the last minute.
You idiot, you think you did it flawlessly. But you don’t know that people have already seen through you.
You think you’re an invited guest, but little do you know that you’re just a turtle in someone else’s jar. They’ve set a trap for you!
But you’re still dressing up and celebrating. You’re as stupid as a pig.
You’re simply courting death.

On the other side…
After Song Fengwan’s afternoon volunteer activity ended, she called Qiao Xiyan and asked to meet him. She said it was about Tang Jingci and wanted to talk to him alone.
“Okay, wait for me at the restaurant downstairs of the hotel.” Qiao Xiyan originally planned to go down and get some dinner for Tang Jingci.
“Alright, hurry up.” Song Fengwan was a volunteer. After standing for a day, her legs were a little swollen and sore.
Qiao Xiyan hung up and turned his head to look at Tang Jingci. She seemed to be still sleeping.
Thinking that she couldn’t see anyway, he crossed her arms, pinched the hem of his s.h.i.+rt, and took it off. Tang Jingci opened her eyes slightly and saw the side profile of Qiao Xiyan changing
His strong and firm chest and lean waist… Her eyes were a little blurry before, but now, she could already see the muscle lines on his body.
She was tense, and her blood was boiling.
He changed his clothes and casually fiddled with his slightly messy hair, his actions unrestrained and elegant.
Tang Jingci had been hinting to herself before that it had to be a dream. But now, she finally recognized reality. Her vision had indeed recovered, and…
She saw Qiao Xiyan naked.
I’m going to die.
Qiao Xiyan put the cigarette box and lighter on the table into his pocket. The moment he turned around, Tang Jingci hurriedly closed her eyes. “Tang Jingci?” Qiao Xiyan called out to her tentatively.
She continued pretending to sleep.
Qiao Xiyan walked to the bed, bent over, suddenly reached out to grab the blanket covering half of her face, and pulled it down slightly…

Perhaps because he was too close, Tang Jingci could almost feel his scorching breath on her face.
“Wake up.” Qiao Xiyan raised his voice a little.
“Huh…” Tang Jingci had no experience of being blind and couldn’t pretend to be blind at all. She closed her eyes and groaned. “What?”
“I’m going down for dinner. What do you want to eat?”
“Whatever.”
Qiao Xiyan frowned. Why is she the same as Wanwan when she was a child? She answered with whatever, but when I brought her food, she didn’t want to eat anything. She was so hard to serve.
“How are your eyes feeling?”
“Okay.” Tang Jingci clenched her hands under the blanket tightly. How could she dare to say that she could see since noon?
She was fl.u.s.tered and had no idea how red her face was.
Qiao Xiyan frowned and suddenly put his hand on her forehead…
His palm had rough calluses. It felt dry and warm. It was so rough that it made her skin feel slightly scorching. “You seem to have a fever. Your face is very red. I’ll bring you some fever medicine later.”

Tang Jingci bit her lip tightly. “I don’t have a fever. Perhaps it’s because it’s too hot under the blanket.”
“Is that so?” Qiao Xiyan withdrew his fingers. “Okay, I’m going out. Just stay here and don’t move. Wait for me to come back.” “Okay.”
When Tang Jingci heard the door close, she slowly opened her eyes. She really wanted to bang her head against a wall and die.
What should I do now?!
She had no idea how to tell Qiao Xiyan that she could already see.
“Ah!” Tang Jingci kicked off the blanket in a frenzy. Why did my eyes suddenly heal? There were no signs at all.
Qiao Xiyan had taken a shower earlier and was even half-naked as he walked back and forth in front of her.
If he finds out that I’ve been pretending to be blind…
Tang Jingci felt that she was going crazy.

At this moment, Qiao Xiyan had already met Song Fengwan.
“What do you want to talk to me about alone?”
“Here, this…” Song Fengwan pa.s.sed the photos and information on her phone to Qiao Xiyan.
The more he looked, the colder his expression became.
“I’ve thought about the whole thing…” Song Fengwan revealed her plan.
Qiao Xiyan sneered. “Catching a turtle in a jar and beating a dog with a closed door?”
“She must be feeling complacent right now. If you don’t give someone like her a blow on the head, make her lose all face in front of everyone, and trample on her so hard that she won’t be able to turn things around, she’ll definitely show up again.
“If you want to mess with her, you have to be thorough and make it so she can’t make a comeback ever again!
Qiao Xiyan looked at Song Fengwan silently, his eyes as deep as the sea.
“Why are you staring at me like that? Did I say something wrong? Or do you think the plan isn’t perfect?” Song Fengwan looked at him innocently. “Fu Chen taught you?” “No, Big Sister Tang has nothing to do with him. At the end of the day, it’s either because of you or me that she was implicated innocently. Naturally, I thought of it myself. Why should Third Brother do it?” Qiao Xiyan took a deep breath. “Wanwan…” “Hmm?”
“You and Fu Chen…” Qiao Xiyan said faintly. “You’re really a perfect match.”
Song Fengwan seemed to understand what he meant. She coughed twice and lowered her head to eat dinner. Her ears were a little hot, but Qiao Xiyan clearly saw a little fox.
She was still wagging her little fox tail, sly and devious.
He originally thought that Fu Chen had abducted his cousin. But now, it seemed that these two people were most likely…
… of the same nature and understood each other.
