Chapter 262: Chapter 262: Is It A Devil?_1 Chapter 262: Chapter 262: Is It A Devil?_1 Jiang Nanfei gently smoothed her clothes, her fingers delicate and pale. Seeing the fleeting smugness in Lawyer Chen’s eyes, she speculated that he surely had some tricks up his sleeve.
Next to Lawyer Chen sat three people, He Rongxi, Jing Tong, and Huo Jinlan. Their expressions and minds were all different, but one thing they all shared: their gaze, locked on Huo Beijiang.
Huo Jinlan, looking as if she had been greatly wronged, her eyes filled with tears, tentatively called out, “Brother!”
Huo Beijiang’s face was cold and he didn’t even bother looking.
Huo Jinlan’s grievances increased, her gaze pleading and pitiful. “Brother, I’m Jinlan. Don’t you like me anymore?” she asked in a tone of flattery.
Before Huo Beijiang could respond, Jiang Nanfei cast a cold sideways glance, a scornful curve on her red lips.
“Huo Jinlan,” She said mercilessly, “What are you up to? You’ve returned to the He family, become their young mistress, haven’t you? Now you’re talking about liking and not liking, don’t you think that’s hypocritical?”
The normally composed Lawyer Chen was taken aback at her words and glanced at He Rongxi. No wonder he had asked for the Leng family’s assistance only to be refused; so, this was the reason.
Huo Jinlan shakily pointed at Jiang Nanfei and indignantly accused, “Jiang Nanfei, you’re truly vicious. Just to marry my brother, you plotted to have me arrested. How could you be so heartless? I even considered you my good friend and always helped you in school.”
Her eyes grew redder as she spoke. It seemed as if she was considering Huo Beijiang’s feelings, cautiously sneaking a glance at him before saying, “I even helped you pass love letters to Qiao Jingxuan. How…how could you do this?”
Jiang Nanfei muttered a curse under her breath, utterly annoyed.
The issue with the love letter was brought up twice in a single day, making her suspect if Huo Jinlan was in cahoots with Qiao Jingxuan.
“Is your brain malfunctioning or what?” Jiang Nanfei rubbed her temples in exasperation, gave Huo Beijiang a tug, and commanded, “Hey! Your sister here is accusing me of setting her up! Say something!”
Remaining expressionless, Huo Beijiang cracked a smile at his wife’s demand. It was a brazen, wild smile that adorned his exceptionally handsome face, filled with careless nonchalance.
He had been sporting this expression since stepping into the police station, never taking anything seriously.
“Wife.” With a deep, pitying glance towards He Rongxi, he further provoked the man to the brink of rage, concerning his family’s honour.
However, Huo Beijiang utterly disregarded it, his gaze shifting over to Jing Tong. Instantly a chill ran down Jing Tong’s spine and a pang of ominous fear gripped her heart.
“What should I say?” Huo Beijiang smirked cockily at Jing Tong.
Under his grin, an uncontrollable surge of intense emotions crashed through Jing Tong’s heart as if she was taken back to her innocent days. It was as if a dear little fawn was lodged in her chest, constantly thumping against it.
Despite being fully aware of the danger, she still found herself uncontrollably mesmerized by his face, his powerful arms, his long, straight legs, and the perfectly sculpted muscles under his thin clothing.
Her mind even began imagining what it would be like to be held in the arms of such a man?
It would undeniably be intoxicating. Even if it cost her life, she was willing!
“What I want to say is, He Rongxi, are you so useless that you can’t satisfy your woman? She keeps eyeing other men like she’s famished! Tsk tsk tsk… It’s so nauseating.”
Jing Tong’s face blanched.
He had seen right through her from the beginning.
Was this man…a devil?
