Chapter 1224 - 1167: Marriage—What Does It Mean?
On this same afternoon, Ji Xiangling had invited Shi Jiaojiao for a coffee.
Shi Jiaojiao wasn’t very familiar with Ji Xiangling but knew what she had been up to recently.
Moreover, Ji Xiangling’s features bore a resemblance to Shi Nuan, and she had even been involved with Shen Zui recently.
Indeed, Shi Jiaojiao glanced once and understood it wasn’t Shi Nuan, not out of confidence.
She simply felt Shi Nuan wouldn’t dare, especially when she was with Song Yansheng at that moment.
After the incident, Song Yansheng had no reaction, so the person couldn’t have been Shi Nuan.
If it wasn’t Shi Nuan, apart from Ji Xiangling, Shi Jiaojiao couldn’t think of anyone else who would do such things.
Ji Xiangling invited her, though Shi Jiaojiao didn’t really want to meet, yet she had some anger recently she wanted to vent.
She couldn’t confront Shi Nuan, so Ji Xiangling, with her resemblance to Shi Nuan, might be suitable.
Still, Shi Jiaojiao didn’t expect that upon reaching the specified place, there was another person besides Ji Xiangling — Chu Jingyun.
Shi Jiaojiao’s gaze flickered lightly; these two women seemed to have no intersection, but they shared one common point: they both had connections with Song Yansheng!
Shi Jiaojiao raised her brows, grasping the situation: they must have invited her today because of Shi Nuan!
Shi Jiaojiao walked over to the two, smiling brightly, she looked at the women opposite and cheerfully said, "Sorry to keep both sisters waiting!"
Ji Xiangling and Chu Jingyun, one twenty-six, the other twenty-seven, indeed were a few years older than Shi Jiaojiao; calling them sisters was quite appropriate.
Chu Jingyun remained silent, while Ji Xiangling spoke, saying, "Miss Shi’s mental strength is impressive, causing such chaos yet still vibrant and beautiful, I’m truly envious!"
Shi Jiaojiao pressed her lips tightly, didn’t expect Ji Xiangling’s first words to be an intimidation.
Such a deliberate mention, was it intentional?
"But this is Miss Shi’s way of dealing, when faced with some trouble, too frightened to leave home, we certainly wouldn’t bother!"
Shi Jiaojiao asked calmly, looking at the two, "Just say it, what’s your purpose in seeking me?"
"No real purpose, just thought Miss Shi had been troubled recently, couldn’t attend work, felt uneasy staying home, probably isn’t in the best mood, so invited Miss Shi out for a chat?"
Chat?
Shi Jiaojiao heard only humor, neither Ji Xiangling nor Chu Jingyun she knew well.
If not familiar, then what is there to chat about?
Yet she didn’t refute, but directly asked, "What do you want to chat about?"
Ji Xiangling raised her brows, "Naturally, topics Miss Shi is interested in, just uncertain what Miss Shi is currently interested in?"
Shi Jiaojiao frowned slightly, saying nothing.
Chu Jingyun suddenly stood up, saying, "You guys continue chatting, I’ll go to the restroom!"
Having spoken, without waiting for a response, she directly got up and left.
Ji Xiangling thought Shi Jiaojiao could be used, Chu Jingyun didn’t agree.
Though opinions diverged, eventually she came with Ji Xiangling to meet Shi Jiaojiao.
But listening to the conversation, she really found it boring, simply went to the restroom to keep distance.
Shi Jiaojiao watched Chu Jingyun’s retreating figure, said, "You’re trying to form an alliance now, aren’t you?"
Ji Xiangling’s smile deepened, looking at Shi Jiaojiao, "What kind of alliance does Miss Shi think we’re trying to form?"
"That, you should ask yourselves, what kind of alliance do you want?"
Ji Xiangling’s smile somewhat faded, she picked up the coffee nearby, took a sip, after a moment said, "Miss Shi, I don’t want to beat around the bush, you should know what kind of alliance we’re forming!"
"I’m aware, but I find it odd, I’m perfectly fine alone, why should I ally with you? How can I be sure you can truly assist me?"
"We certainly can assist, the one you dislike, isn’t it Shi Nuan? Coincidentally, we don’t like her either, if misfortune befalls Shi Nuan, we all rejoice, wouldn’t you agree?"
Shi Jiaojiao pressed her lips, silent.
Truthfully, for now, she dared not provoke Shi Nuan.
Shi Nuan now belonged to Song Yansheng, at least presently, Song Yansheng has yet to dislike her.
Moreover, Song Yansheng is approaching thirty, even if Shi Nuan is merely his lover, should she become pregnant, he’d surely wish her to give birth.
