of profound sadness welled up within her, making her legs wobble. She grasped the edge of the table for support before regaining her footing.She turned almost without hesitation, her steps a little cl..."Good." Jiang Qifeng raised his cup of wine, but instead of drinking it sip by sip like he used to, he tilted his head back and downed the entire thing in one gulp.

After receiving a response, the bartender left.

"Don't drink so much, it's easy to get drunk." Xiang Wan said.

Jiang Qifeng held an empty wine glass in his hand. Upon hearing this, he turned to look at her, a glimmer of light rising in his eyes.

"I don't have the energy to deal with a drunk," said Hualian.

The light in Jiang Qi Feng's eyes disappeared instantly, "Xiang Wan, is your heart made of stone"

"You should ask your sister, what her heart is made of." Xiangwan raised her wine glass to her lips, but instead of drinking, she put it down again.

Whoops!

Jiang Qi Feng smashed the empty wine glass to the ground and stood up, painfully saying: "You intended to murder Qing Ran, she didn't press charges against you, she only let you serve two years in prison!"

"Do you know why Because she sees you as a friend! She doesn't want you to spend the rest of your life in prison!"

Wanye chuckled, "Two years in prison... only"

After being broken her leg by He Hanchuan and thrown into prison, she suffered from inflammation on her leg and was bullied by inmates, causing her to hover between life and death several times.

At first, she wasn't afraid of those people and dared to argue with them because she felt He Hanchuan misunderstood her. But her family wouldn't, her parents and brother would definitely come to save her!

A month passed, a year passed... Not even a single visitor came to see her. Finally, she gave up hope and was cowed by those people's bullying. She began acting like the weak prisoners, following the warden's lead in everything she said and did.

And all of this, in Jiang Qi Feng's mouth, was only two years!

"Isn't that so" Jiang Qi Feng looked at her with a complex expression, his love, hate, and disgust all mixed together. "If Qing Ran sued you, you could only stay in prison for the rest of your life!"

Towards Evening took a sip from her wine glass, her face grim and she remained silent.

She shouldn't have had to serve these two years. It was all her sister's doing! And now he has the audacity to question her!

"I really regret letting Qingran get close to you!" Jiang Qifeng gritted his teeth and said, "I was truly blind back then, to fall in love with you, and even let such a kind person like Qingran befriend someone like you, a delinquent little hoodlum!"

"If it weren't for me, she wouldn't have had to suffer through all this later! She should have been a genius dancer, not like now, sitting in a wheelchair every day!"

Whoosh!

Towards Evening hurled the unfinished drink at Jiang Qi Feng, who turned his head to dodge, getting splashed all over. The cup fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.

"Are you done" Xiang Wan stared coldly at him, "Jiang Qi Feng, why are you blaming me for all of this Did I ask you to chase me Or did I ask you to get your sister to befriend me in order to pursue me"

Jiang Qi Feng used a tissue to wipe the wine from his clothes, his expression changing like shattered paint on a palette.

"Don't always portray yourself as a pitiful victim," Xiang Wan said impassively. "You regret letting your sister be friends with me, you feel sorry for her, and I regret being friends with her, bringing trouble to the second half of my life!"

Jiang Qi Feng threw the muddy tissue onto the bar, glaring angrily at her, “Xiang Wan, speak with a conscience! It’s you who wrongs Qing Ran, not Qing Ran who wrongs you!!! You are truly rotten to the bone!”

"If you think I'm bad to the bone, why are you still clinging to me Wouldn't it be better for you to stay away from me" Xiang Wan thought it was ridiculous.

If you think she's not good in every way, why keep clinging on and making both of you feel uncomfortable

Jiang Qifeng looked at her, anger, disgust, and love still tangled in his eyes, but for a moment he didn't know how to answer.

Why

Even though he knew she was utterly wicked, that her heart was as cold as a viper's, he couldn't let her go!

"I came to talk to you today, not to fight," Jiang Qi Feng said, rubbing his temples wearily before settling back in his seat and draining his glass of wine.

Towards Evening sat there, watching him, and said sarcastically: "Mr. Jiang, before you say that, shouldn't you think about who started shouting first If you can't remember, I can ask the bartender to check the security footage for you."

"You have to speak like that" Jiang Qifeng slammed his empty glass onto the bar, pain in his eyes.

>

She wanted to finish the conversation as quickly as possible. Every time she saw him looking like a victim, she felt both pitiful and disgusted.

"I really don't understand, Qing Ran has been so good to you, why would you try to kill her just because He Han Chuan likes her" Jiang Qi Feng had tried his best to suppress his hatred, but when he spoke, his anger was still evident.

"Heh!" Xiang Wan sneered, suspecting Jiang Qi Feng's brain was broken, "You keep saying I killed Da Jiang Qing Ran out of jealousy. If He Han Chuan likes Jiang Qing Ran so much, why doesn't he just be with her"

Jiang Qi Feng was stunned, speechless.

"Even if He Hanchuan likes Jiang Qingran, I must be insane to go and crash into him at my birthday party in front of everyone!" Xiang Wan said with a mocking face.

Besides, He Hanchuan was supposed to get engaged to me that night. Jiang Qingran likes He Hanchuan and doesn't want to see us get engaged, so she deliberately framed me. This reason sounds more believable, right

It's precisely because this incident was so illogical that many people guessed Jiang Qingran had framed her—even though Jiang Qingran had orchestrated the car accident flawlessly.

Jiang Qi Feng's handsome face was pale. He raised his cup and drank a large gulp, unsure if he truly didn't believe it or was just deceiving himself. "Impossible! Qing Ran has been so good since she was little, there's no way she would lie to me!"

"Anything else" Xiang Wan let out a sneer, too lazy to argue with him. She didn't care if he believed her or not, she just wanted him to stop bothering her in the future.

Jiang Qi Feng lowered his eyes, his expression extremely ugly. He didn't speak.

"If nothing else comes up, I'll be going. Remember what you said." Xiang Wan said coldly, preparing to get up and leave.

Jiang Qi Feng suddenly called out to her, "Wait!"

"Anything else" Xiang Wan frowned, she really disliked people who were so slow to speak and act.

I used to think he was alright, just that he was clean-living and honest. Nothing like the bad habits of those other people in the circle. But now… Hmph!

"I can let go of what you did to Qingran before." Jiang Qifeng stood up and walked in front of her.as as if he were holding the whole world. It was an indescribable feeling of fulfillment.He possesses Dream Orchid, and... for ten years he has loved her as though it were every day.Knock knock—Just...
