Chapter 316: Chapter 306: Zhan Nanging and Lou Xinrou Quarrel
“The master toldthat this sachet is good for the body, that’s why | gave it to Qiao Jing. | really didn’t know
what the formula inside was, Brother Pei, don’t you believe me?”
Zhan Qipei didn’t speak, the gloominess on his face didn’t ease in the slightest, his scrutinizing gaze fixed on Lou
Xinrou’s face.
He radiated a dangerous aura, like a lion lurking in the dark forest, ever watchful of its prey, waiting for the prey
to reveal a flaw.
This was the first tLou Xinrou had seen Zhan Qipei this angry; she was nearly suffocated by his oppressive
presence.
That scrutinizing gaze made her feel more and more guilty, causing sweat to begin forming in her palms.
Lou Xinrou knew she had to look Zhan Qipei in the eye to appear righteous and confident, but his piercing gaze
seemed to see right through her.
Upon meeting those dark eyes, her heart couldn't stop panicking, and she subconsciously thought of the things
she had done.
Hidden around the corner, Zhan Nanqging was shocked beyond belief after listening to the whole story, her mouth
was agape, as if it could fit an egg.
She abruptly remembered Qiao Jing’s reaction after smelling the sachet.
After Qiao Jing smelled the sachet, she had placed it in the corner of the bedside table, far from her bed.
Qiao Jing’s fleeting cold expression and furrowed brows flashed through her mind.
Qiao Jing was a Divine Doctor Jing, she surely could detect what ingredients were in the sachet.
No wonder she had placed the sachet so far away, she must have known there was something wrong with it all
along, so why didn’t Qiao Jing say anything at the time? Clearly, she had sensed something wrong with the
sachet...
That's right!
At that time, Qiao Jing had also glanced at her and her brother; was it because she was taking into account their
relationship with Lou Xinrou?
Zhan Nanging thought back to when she was so enthusiastic in helping Lou Xinrou deliver the sachet to Qiao
Jing.
Was she not indirectly harming someone?!
A voice tinged with sobs rose up; Zhan Nanging retracted her drifting thoughts and looked towards the source of
the sound.
Lou Xinrou had her hands behind her back, clenching her palm hard to squeeze out several tears.
“Brother Pei, why won't you speak? | really didn’t mean to harm Qiao Jing. If you don’t believe me, | can go with
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtyou to the temple. They really do have such sachets there...”
She must not let Brother Pei find out the truth of this matter! Absolutely not!
Otherwise, her image in Brother Pei’s heart would be tarnished, and entering the Zhan Family would become
more difficult.
“I really—"
Zhan Qipei cut off her words, his thin lips barely opening.
“Don’t clooking foragain, and stay away from Qiao Jing.”
Lou Xinrou’s body jolted sharply; she stared at Zhan Qipei with disbelief in her eyes.
Could it be that Brother Pei was actually telling her not to look for him, all for Qiao Jing?
Did their bond since childhood mean nothing to him now that he wanted to sever ties with her for Qiao Jing’s
sake?
Lou Xinrou’s tears flowed like a faucet turned on, unstoppable.
“Brother Pei? | really... It really wasn’twho did it, why won't you believe me?”
Zhan Qipei didn’t spare Lou Xinrou another glance, leaving her with a cold remark.
“I will investigate this matter and clear it up. Before that, don’t clooking for me.”
As soon as the words fell, Zhan Qipei turned and left, leaving only his silhouette to Lou Xinrou.
The moment Zhan Qipei turned around, Lou Xinrou’s tears immediately stopped.
She stared at the man’s tall figure, her fists clenched so tightly that her nails dug into her flesh without her
noticing, her expression was incredibly sinister.
All because of Qiao Jing!
How could Brother Pei treat her like this if it wasn’t for Qiao Jing?!
If it weren't for Qiao Jing, she would have been with Brother Pei long ago. How could there have been so many
issues!
This tshe was discovered, but she still has another chance to take action. The moment Qiao Jing is driven out
of the Zhan Family, she will immediately have someone deal with that wretch.
Once Qiao Jing leaves the Zhan Family, she'll be nothing! And her, she’s the daughter of the Lou Family!
Taking action against Qiao Jing, who has neither money nor power, wouldn't that be a cinch?!
Zhan Nanging, who was around the corner, saw the entire change in Lou Xinrou’s expression, and felt somewhat
afraid.
She had never seen Lou Xinrou show such an expression before, giving her a feeling of strangeness.
This made her wonder if she had ever truly understood Lou Xinrou’s real face.
Zhan Nanging hesitated for a while but eventually took the steps to approach Lou Xinrou.
When Lou Xinrou saw Zhan Nanqing, a hint of confusion appeared on her gloomy face.
Why has Zhan Nanging chere? How much of what | just said did she hear?
If I explain, Zhan Nanging will definitely believe me. No matter how much her impression of Qiao Jing has
improved, it can’t compare to the friendship we've had since we were young.
With this thought, Lou Xinrou immediately reverted her face to its usual, gentle appearance.
Zhan Nanging couldn’t help but admire this speed of changing faces. If it weren't for her having witnessed Lou
Xinrou’s twisted facial expression just a while ago, she wouldn’t believe the other would reveal such a dark look.
If Lou Xinrou were to enter a face-changing competition, she would definitely win first place.
“Xinrou, | heard everything just now.”
Lou Xinrou was furrowing her brows tightly, her face still streaked with unshed tears, feigning a pitiful look
towards Zhan Nanging.
“Nanging, really, it’s not how you think. | truly didn’t do that kind of thing.”
Zhan Nanging’s expression turned ugly; she looked Lou Xinrou up and down, hesitating to speak.
“But...”
She only hoped that what she heard was false, and she still couldn't believe that Lou Xinrou could do such a
thing.
She thought she knew everything about Lou Xinrou, thinking she was always kind and frail.
But how would Lou Xinrou explain the sachet incident?
After hearing Zhan Nanging’s words, Lou Xinrou controlled her emotions, which were on the verge of exploding,
and tears fell again.
“Then, do you want to askanything? It’s okay if your brother doesn’t believe me, but do you also distrust
me?
We've been together since we were young, as good friends, best friends, and now you doubttoo?”
Zhan Nanqing’s face stiffened with a touch of guilt, and her tone softened considerably.
“I don’t disbelieve you, Xinrou. | just want to hear the truth from you. Were you the one who made the sachet?”
Confronted with Zhan Nanging’s questioning, Lou Xinrou stopped crying and burst out in emotion, letting out a
cold snort.
“Nanging, since you don’t trust me, why askat all? Haven't | already said it wasn’t me? Why do you keep
asking?
Didn't you already take Qiao Jing’s side long ago?”
