Chapter 236 Nameless
Everyone was dumbfounded when they heard Jiang Mian"s words. Why would Fu Jin"s bodyguard catch here?
"Miss... you are too drunk. How about I escort you out?" the man who helped her offered.
"Drunk? No... No... this woman had to pay for this." Jiang Mian said. "You! answer me! Why did you move out of my way? You have already seen me falling!"
"Mian Mian... go home now!" Jiang Mian was grabbed by the CEO of her agency. How could this woman be so stupid to create such an embarra.s.sing scene in front of prominent people?
"Let go." she slightly pushed the CEO away from her before glaring at Jiang Yue. "Are you a mute? Why don"t you say something? Huh?"
"You are nothing but a bodyguard! It"s your job to save everyone!" she added. Since Jiang Yue wanted to disguise as a bodyguard, then she could only use this as an opportunity to berate her.
Seeing everyone"s ridiculing gazes towards her, Jiang Mian became even more enraged. She was the one who was hurt! Yet, everyone was still laughing at her. Why?
Why did everyone like Jiang Yue even when she was currently not recognizable?
"Answer me!" She demanded in a shrill tone.
"Why should I?" Jiang Yue answered with a raised eyebrow. "Why should I catch you? Are you stupid?"
Jiang Mian"s eyes turned red when she heard Jiang Yue"s ridicule. "It"s your job!"
"My job is to protect CEO Fu." Jiang Yue said before looking at her from head to toe. "I am very clear of my job description Miss. It is also very clear that you are not CEO Fu, or someone that he cares about. He does not even remember you. So, why should I catch you?"
Jiang Yue"s question almost made Jiang Mian puke blood. Jiang Yue was clearly implying that Fu Jin didn"t care about Jiang Mian. So why would she made an effort to save her?
"What? Did you forget that you are just another nameless woman, who wanted to climb into CEO Fu"s bed?"
"You-"
"What?"
Jiang Mian gritted her teeth before looking at Fu Jin. "CEO Fu, is this how you train your subordinates? You allow them to disrespect someone higher than them? This is very enlightening." Jiang Mian decided that dragging Fu Jin"s name into this mess was best decision. After all, he was a businessman. He would not want everyone to know that this was how he trained his employees.
Seeing Fu Jin"s gaze turned even colder Jiang Mian"s confidence increased. She unsteadily took a step towards Fu Jin. The pain in her ankle was killing her, but the thought of falling into Fu Jin"s arms was temporarily numbing it, enough for her to take at least another step towards him.
Fu Jin grew up in a very good family. He should have known basic etiquette, including helping an injured girl like her. However, who would have thought that before she could even take another step, Jiang Yue would be quick enough to block her?
"Take another step towards him, and you will say goodbye to that ankle of yours." Jiang Yue hissed, her eyes cold and threatening. Akin to a lioness marking her territory, Jiang Yue couldn"t help but wonder, why did it seem like Jiang Mian"s brain degraded to this degree.
Where did her brains go? Did Li Qiang do something to her head? Maybe he had removed her brains while she was unaware? That shouldn"t be possible, right?
Jiang Yue wanted to laugh at her crazy thoughts. Yet, the current situation was not suitable for her to show any emotions. So instead, she raised her lips into an evil smirk and murmured, "Go back to where you came from. Take it as your last warning. You don"t want to be my enemy, do you?"
Jiang Mian widened her eyes, as she remembered Jiang Yue"s threat before she left two years ago. "What, are you going to kill me like you have killed my mother?" she responded. Her voice low, almost a murmur, yet enough for the two of them to hear.
"Are you sure that it was me?"
"If not you, then who?"
"Why don"t you asked your father about that?"
Jiang Mian"s pupils immediately dilated when she heard Jiang Yue mention the word "father". Does she know about Li Qiang? Impossible, right? "Stop playing with my head!" she hissed. "No matter what you say, I won"t believe you! But you should know that I will avenge my mother, no matter what happens!"
Jiang Yue scoffed at Jiang Mian"s words. "I will be waiting, sister... give it your best shot." she challenged. She still needed Jiang Mian to locate Li Qiang. She still needed some answers from him.
She needed to know what relation does he had with her mother, why does he hated her so much and why he had killed w.a.n.g Ruo. She wanted to understand the reason he wanted to hurt her this much..
Li Qiang"s existence was making a big question mark appear in her mind from the moment he appeared in her life.. Just how did she and her mother attracted Li Qiang"s fury?
Due to this, she would keep Jiang Mian alive. She hoped that Jiang Mian would become her key to Li Qiang"s location and maybe... just maybe, his real intentions.
