The pillow grazed Jiang Li's shoulder and fell to the floor behind her.
Jiang Li's gaze slowly lifted from the pages of the book in her hand. After casting a look of anger at Jiang Yan, her eyes settled on the woman in bed, deepening involuntarily.
So, this was the woman who had caused Jiang Yan's complete downfall.
In the past life, it was the video of her and Jiang Yan in bed that was sent to the phones of the guests attending today's banquet, leading the Qiao Family to seize the opportunity and relentlessly blackmail them, gradually draining the entire Jiang Family.
Initially, she was puzzled about who could possess such great skill, but now everything seemed to make sense.
At this moment, Qin Xiaoxiao was still in a state of shock, and being scrutinized by this mysterious woman only made her already scantily clad self feel more ashamed and embarrassed.
She instinctively tugged a blanket to cover herself, and then her mind began racing.
This woman's aura was so strong, and Jiang Yan's reaction was so intense... could she be the Qiao Family's Miss Qiao, betrothed to Jiang Yan?
Thinking of this, a dark glint flashed in Qin Xiaoxiao's eyes, and she quickly hid behind Jiang Yan, sobbing:
"Miss Qiao, please don't misunderstand, Brother Yan and I... were just momentarily confused. I never intended to ruin your relationship, please believe me."
"I knew today was your engagement day, and I tried to persuade Brother Yan, but, but—"
As she cried, Qin Xiaoxiao lifted her eyelids to observe Jiang Li's reaction.
But the other party showed no signs of anger; instead, she continued to look at her with emotionless eyes.
This made Qin Xiaoxiao panic at last.
Could this so-called Miss Qiao be a tough character?
But someone said she was just a brainless paper tiger?
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yan stood up irritably, "What Miss Qiao, she's my sister, Jiang Li!"
Qin Xiaoxiao's eyes widened instantly, "Wha, what? The eldest Miss? How could this be?"
As her words fell, Jiang Yan seemed to finally realize something was amiss, pausing as he adjusted his pants before abruptly turning on the room's lights.
With a click, the dim room was finally illuminated, and he could see clearly the woman who had been whispering sweet nothings with him.
"Qin Xiaoxiao?! What the hell, it's you?!"
He wasn't...
Only then did Jiang Li close the book in her hand, her gaze returning to Jiang Yan.
The Jiang Family genes had always been excellent, and Jiang Yan perfectly combined their parents' traits. Not only was his physique impeccable, but his face was also beguiling enough to ruin a country.
Thin lips, fair skin, a face as if carved by pen, and a pair of romantic eyes that caused all young girls to blush and scream, even without making any deliberate expressions.
Except for her.
In her eyes, at this moment, Jiang Yan, with his shirtless upper body and pants not yet pulled up, was a complete scoundrel.
——Having cuddled with a stranger for half the day, only to find she wasn't his beloved.
If this were Daqi, it would be a family joke, mercilessly criticized by the historians.
Therefore, she didn't conceal the mockery in her eyes, smiling mysteriously as she said:
"What, just sober now?"
Jiang Yan irritably ruffled his hair, moving in place several times before glaring fiercely at Qin Xiaoxiao, "We'll settle our accounts later!"
Then he turned, glaring at Jiang Li, "Why are you here? This isn't where you should be, hurry and leave!"
"You can let me go, but you'll come back with me."
Jiang Yan laughed in anger, "I went through so much trouble to escape, why would I go back with you?"
"No way..."
Only now did he notice something unusual about his sister, then raised his brows and sized her up from head to toe, coldly sarcastic:
"Are you really Jiang Li? Where's your pink hair? Where's your ugly dress? Could it be... you deliberately changed your style to win Shang Shaojing's favor?"
In his impression, his sister was never an easy character.
She was irritable and unreasonable from a young age.
As she grew older, she became even more mischievous, associating with questionable people, and became infatuated with the guy named Shang, pestering him endlessly, making him the laughingstock of those in their circle.
Jiang Li didn't want to waste words with him any longer, she picked up the phone beside her and stood.
"You don't have to go home, but I can't guarantee what will happen with what I just recorded on my phone." As she spoke, she looked at Jiang Yan, a knife hidden in her smile, "If I'm not mistaken, you probably mistook her for that Miss Su?"
"If you insist on staying here, then Miss Su might soon see this video on the large screen at Century Building in the city center, and then—"
"Jiang Li, are you fucking crazy?!"
Jiang Yan couldn't believe what he'd heard.
His own sister planned to broadcast his bed scenes on the large screen at the city center?!
Even if Su Yinwan didn't see it, his face in All of Jing City would be utterly humiliated!
But looking at Jiang Li's unusually calm expression, it didn't seem like she was bluffing.
Jiang Yan was completely anxious, stepping forward to grab the phone, but before he could react, a hand twisted his, forcefully bending it at a ninety-degree angle.
"Ah—ouch ouch ouch ouch!!!" Tears were almost streaming from Jiang Yan's eyes, "Are you trying to kill your brother?!"
This girl usually can't even lift anything without having people fawn over her, where did she get such strength?!
Jiang Li's seamless moves were purely instinctual.
Back in Daqi, her grandfather, the National Guardian General, would hold her on horseback as soon as she learned to walk. Afterward, aside from studying and practicing arts at home, she spent nearly all her time on the training field.
The Marquis Mansion Jiang Family had an ancestral gun skills technique, which she mastered excellently, not inferior to her brothers.
Facing Jiang Yan, who only had brute strength, she could easily subdue him.
Feeling the grip on his arm go from hard to harder, Jiang Yan yelled again, "I was wrong, I was wrong, okay? Do you really want to dislocate your brother's arm?!"
Only then did Jiang Li snort coldly, releasing him.
Qin Xiaoxiao, having been shocked by Jiang Li's makeover, was now further frightened by her swift and ruthless moves, shrinking into the corner of the bed, not daring to move.
Even Jiang Yan was in such pain; thank goodness she hadn't angered Jiang Li earlier, or her own arm would definitely be doomed!
Jiang Yan stood up with a grim face and had barely caught his breath when he saw Jiang Li brushing past him towards the door.
He couldn't help but sneer toward her back.
Want him to conform? No way!
But Jiang Li suddenly stopped, her cold voice mingled with the chaotic sound from the television, clearly entering his ears—
"If you still consider yourself the eldest son of the Jiang Family, my brother, then don't only think about escaping."
"I would despise you."
