Chapter 318: Ji Qingwan’s Confusion and Bewilderment
Shen Qingqiu’s Bihai Flower Villa.
Ever since Jiang Che had opened his heart to her, Shen Qingqiu had stopped intervening in Jiang Che’s affairs. After all, even if she did speak up, Jiang Che wouldn’t listen, so she chose to remain silent.
Moreover, strictly speaking, Ji Qingwan was not really an outsider, so Shen Qingqiu could accept it in her heart.
“How about it, can you understand what I meant?” Jiang Che asked with a smile, looking at Ji Qingwan sitting opposite him on the sofa.
He had just shared some of his insights and experiences with her, and how much she could grasp depended on her own abilities.
Although these insights weren’t particularly useful, they were better than nothing and could help cultivate the relationship between them.
Over the past few days, Jiang Che had clearly noticed a change in Ji Qingwan’s attitude towards him. The previous hostility was gone, replaced by a sense of closeness.
Ji Qingwan nodded silently, her beautiful eyes fixed on Jiang Che, as if she was contemplating something.
“What’s wrong?” Jiang Che asked, puzzled, because communicating with Ji Qingwan was still somewhat challenging since she didn’t like or want to speak much.
Whenever Ji Qingwan wanted to say something, she would usually write it down on a piece of paper to express her thoughts to Jiang Che.
Ji Qingwan took a piece of A4 paper and a pen from beside her, writing a line of words before handing it to Jiang Che.
Jiang Che picked it up and saw a few neat and concise Chinese characters.
“Why are you so good to me?”
“Why am I so good to you? You can think of it as me wanting to help you rise to power in my spare time. Besides, we have the same enemy.” Jiang Che said with a light smile.
He really couldn’t explain this reason to her; he couldn’t possibly say he wanted to use her, could he?
Hearing Jiang Che’s words, Ji Qingwan gave him a deep look. From the first time she met Jiang Che two months ago, he had generously given her a Great Restoration Pill to help her break through in her cultivation, so she always had a good impression of him.
After spending the past few days together, her perception of Jiang Che had only improved. But she couldn’t quite understand why Jiang Che kept helping her.
She had no rights or obligations that required him to help her. If it was only because they had the same enemy, she didn’t believe it. Many people had grudges against the Tianji Pavilion, so why would Jiang Che only help her?
“Also, because you are Shen Qingqiu’s junior sister. She asked me to take care of you.” Seeing Ji Qingwan’s highly skeptical look, Jiang Che brought up Shen Qingqiu.
He knew that Ji Qingwan and Shen Qingqiu had a great relationship, and saying this would dispel all her doubts. If she didn’t trust him, she would surely trust Shen Qingqiu, right?
Sure enough, after hearing Jiang Che’s explanation, Ji Qingwan’s furrowed brow quickly relaxed.
“If there’s nothing else, I’ll head back today. I’ll come back tomorrow to continue guiding you.” Jiang Che glanced at his watch, left a final remark, and stood up to walk out of the living room.
If his intentions were too obvious, it would backfire and arouse Ji Qingwan’s suspicion. That would be counterproductive, and he’d rather spend time at home with his little maid than waste it here with Ji Qingwan.
Watching Jiang Che’s departing figure, Ji Qingwan did not try to stop him.
Once Jiang Che’s figure completely disappeared from the villa entrance, she also got up from the sofa, turned, and went upstairs to her training room to continue her cultivation.
Returning to Crouching Dragon Villa, Jiang Che took out his phone and dialed Li Yuan’s number, intending to inquire about the situation.
The call was quickly answered, and Li Yuan’s somewhat rough voice came through, “Young Master Jiang…”
“How did it go?” Jiang Che sat in his chair, lit a cigarette, and asked slowly.
He was referring to the false information he had asked Li Yuan to pass on to Ji Chen. He had instructed Ji Chen to go to Bihai Flower Villa tomorrow to receive a special gift prepared for him.
“I’ve already told Ji Chen, and he believed me. He should go directly to Bihai Flower Villa after he’s discharged tomorrow.” Li Yuan’s voice came after a long silence.
“You did well. He didn’t notice anything unusual, did he?”
“No, Ji Chen still trusts me.”
“Good, as long as this is done, I’ll spare your sister. But if you dare to play any tricks… Then prepare to collect your sister’s corpse!”
