Chapter 1070: Scheming and Calculating
“Hey, let me ask you something. Why did the Young Commander only observe from the sidelines, while you and Young Master Huo went forward to help? If you’re so nice, where have you been hiding that all this while?”
After Jiang Chenghuan gave some instructions to the chauffeur, he leaned back lazily and looked at Zhao Yumo. “You’re such a dummy. But with your brains, if you can figure it out, then you should be the one in my position as the family head.”
After being teased by him, Zhao Yumo kicked him angrily. “Stop beating around the bush and praising yourself. Spill it!”
Jiang Chenghuan smiled a little before looking a little more serious. He didn’t need to hide his thoughts from her.
“Girl, sometimes you can achieve the best result by not doing anything.”
“What do you mean? How is it that the more you explain, the more I don’t understand?”
“Young Master Huo and I stepped in, and although the Young Commander didn’t do anything, Su Donglin definitely understood what he was trying to show. Because the Young Commander didn’t do anything, Su Donglin isn’t fully sure what was going through his mind. So Su Donglin is going to be ruthless when he is dealing with Liang Xinyi and her family.”
“Say something I can understand!”
Seeing how urgent she felt about this, Jiang Chenghuan didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. But he still ended up explaining it patiently to her.
“Su Donglin knows about the relationship between Yun Xi and the Young Commander. So if the Young Commander stepped in as expected, Su Donglin would only need to appease him. But instead of the Young Commander, Young Master Huo and I came in to help Yun Xi. So this is telling Su Donglin that there is a relationship between us and Yun Xi too. Based on Su Donglin’s cunning character, do you think he will go easy on Liang Xinyi and her mother? If he doesn’t extract some terrible justice, he will risk offending all three family heads.”
Zhao Yumo shook her head. Now she finally understood why the Young Commander did not step in. As Su Donglin wouldn’t know what was on the Young Commander’s mind, this would make him treat Liang Xinyi and her mother even more ruthlessly.
“Su Ximan may probably ask Yun Xi to talk to the Young Commander and put in some good words for them. And with how he is so head over heels for Yun Xi, he would probably just let it slide. But it won’t be that easy for Young Master Huo and me. To not offend us, Su Donglin will never be able to go easy on Liang Xinyi and her mother. And this is exactly the outcome the Young Commander wants. Do you understand now?”
“I do now! The Young Commander’s methods sure are classy and cunning at the same time. All of you are more cunning and sly one than the other. I thought the Young Commander didn’t want to get involved and was worried that Yun Xi would be upset about it. I certainly put too much thought into it. You guys have way better moves than we do.”
“I hope you don’t think Yun Xi is as stupid as you? On the contrary, I think she is the smartest person there. Didn’t you see that Yun Xi did nothing just now? She did not want to dirty her hands, so she let Su Donglin deal with Liang Xinyi. If she couldn’t see through what the Young Commander was thinking, then his efforts would have been wasted on her.”
“Oh, you’re right! Yun Xi is definitely not stupid. I am still curious, since it seems like Liang Xinyi doesn’t know how the surveillance cameras started working again. But Yun Xi said that she didn’t do it. So, who was it?”
“Make a guess!”
“How would I know? Maybe it was the hotel staff?”
“Do you really believe in such a coincidence?” Jiang Chenghuan clicked his tongue softly. “Do you remember when I asked you to turn and look at someone passing by?”
“What? It was her? Qiao Ximin? Did Liang Xinyi offend her? For her to help Yun Xi like that…!”
“You think she’s helping Yun Xi? Baby, you’re too na?ve!” Jiang Chenghuan patted her head. “She has her own motives. If you want to know what they are, ask Yun Xi yourself. Wouldn’t you girls understand girls better?”
HMPH! “It’s killing a lot of my brain cells to hang out with all of you, so scheming and calculating!”
“All right, stop vexing yourself over it! I will treat you to supper to nourish your brain!”
“Are you suggesting that I am stupid?”
“I am obviously saying it out loud!”
“Get lost!”
