CHAPTER 456: CHAPTER 456

Wu Shirong took Jiang Weiwei to his room, "Weiwei, stay in my room, don’t wander around. I’ll be back soon."

Right now, Wu Shirong very much wanted to have an intimate moment with Jiang Weiwei, but with Miss Xi making a rare visit to the house, Wu Shirong did not dare to be negligent.

Otherwise, even if Miss Xi and the Feng Family had no objections, his parents’ criticism would still drown him.

"Okay, go ahead," Jiang Weiwei said.

Wu Shirong quickly left the room.

But what he didn’t know was that, not long after he left, Jiang Weiwei casually wandered around his bedroom and then quietly left the room.

Yes, Jiang Weiwei still wanted to see for herself - the Miss Xi of the rumors who was said to be incredibly distinguished, what did she actually look like, how many noses and eyes did she have.

But the Wu Family’s house was large, and after making a round on the ground floor, Jiang Weiwei had not caught a glimpse of the rumored Miss Xi.

So, plucking up her courage, Jiang Weiwei methodically searched each floor.

And then, on the fifth floor in the openwork garden, Jiang Weiwei caught sight of a figure.

The person was wearing a white dress, standing under the moonlight, admiring the orchids in a painting.

Yet the moment Jiang Weiwei saw that back figure, she felt as if her entire heart was suspended in air...

Jiang Moxi?!

Yes, this figure resembled Jiang Moxi incredibly.

But Jiang Weiwei still couldn’t accept this reality from the bottom of her heart, so she softly called out, "Jiang Moxi?"

She wanted to confirm that this person was not Jiang Moxi.

Unexpectedly, upon her quiet call, the woman turned around to look at her. With an indifferent expression, a pair of eyes as clear as water did not show any turbulence.

But it was this exceptionally beautiful face that scared Jiang Weiwei into retreating several steps.

"Jiang, Jiang Moxi, what are you doing here?"

Jiang Weiwei’s face turned deathly pale, even the high-quality foundation on her face couldn’t hide it.

Yes, even though just now Jiang Weiwei thought the figure looked so much like Jiang Moxi, she was convinced it wasn’t her in her heart.

Because Jiang Moxi was supposed to be in Yan City!

Moreover, how could someone like Jiang Moxi, who grew up in the backwaters, possibly come into contact with the Wu Family, a top-tier wealthy family in Emperor City, and even visit their home?

But the fact that she kept denying in her heart was unfolding right in front of her.

"If you can be here, why can’t I?" Jiang Moxi did not answer but asked in return, her gaze towards Jiang Weiwei growing colder by the second.

Jiang Weiwei, under Jiang Moxi’s counter-question, experienced a momentary blank in her mind.

After forcing herself to calm down, Jiang Weiwei felt that even if Jiang Moxi appeared in the Wu Family, it was impossible for her to be the rumored Miss Xi.

After all, Miss Xi was raised in the Feng Family, how could Jiang Moxi, a person from the backwaters, possibly be her?

Then Jiang Weiwei remembered something else.

Wu Shirong was not the only child in his family; they also had a younger brother, four years Wu Shirong’s junior.

Wu Shirong had also mentioned to Jiang Weiwei that his younger brother had recently gotten a particularly beautiful girlfriend.

So, was Jiang Moxi the new girlfriend of Wu Shirong’s younger brother?

Certainly, Jiang Moxi must have found out through some channels that she, Jiang Weiwei, was currently together with Wu Shirong, hence saw a chance to leap into marriage with a wealthy family of Emperor City?

Therefore, out of envy, Jiang Moxi also wanted to mimic her, Jiang Weiwei, and follow her into the wealthy circle of Emperor City, even attempting to sabotage Jiang Weiwei’s originally smooth path into high society?

The more Jiang Weiwei thought about it, the more she felt this possibility was very likely.

"Jiang Moxi, I will not let you have the opportunity to ruin the path I’ve laid out!"

She sternly warned Jiang Moxi.

But Jiang Moxi couldn’t be bothered with her, her expression lazy and even dismissive: "As long as you and the Jiang Family do not appear before me again, that’s fine. I have no desire to have any connection with you."

Yet Jiang Weiwei didn’t believe Jiang Moxi, her face filled with mockery: "If you didn’t want any connection with us, then why did you run off to the Wu Family to cling onto their leg?"

"I’m just here on an invitation," Jiang Moxi’s voice was cold, and her pure black pupils emitted a chilling brilliance.

If she had known Jiang Weiwei was also at the Wu’s, no matter how warmly Mrs. Wu had invited her, she wouldn’t have come.

But Jiang Weiwei didn’t believe it, and ridiculed her: "Invited? Does that even make sense to you? The Wu Family is a wealthy household in Emperor City, why would they invite someone as poor as you?"

Jiang Weiwei continued to accuse: "You’re just jealous that I have another chance to marry into a top-tier wealthy family, so you’re trying to imitate my methods and squeeze in! Even thinking of destroying the happiness that’s about to be mine."

Listening to Jiang Weiwei’s words, Jiang Moxi was somewhat impressed by her imagination.

She was simply invited to the Wu Family for a visit, taking the opportunity while Mrs. Wu was having new Yunshang clothes tailored and Xie Ling was taking her measurements, to check out their rooftop garden. Unexpectedly, Jiang Weiwei could come up with so many scenarios for her.

Such storytelling ability, it would be a pity not to become a screenwriter.

"Fine, think what you want, just don’t bother me," Jiang Moxi rubbed her forehead.

Her gunshot wound hadn’t fully healed, and she was still weak.

If she stayed in a noisy environment a little longer, it felt as if someone were banging on her head, causing an unbearable pain.

But to Jiang Weiwei, Jiang Moxi’s unwillingness to even fight back seemed like guilt after having her motives exposed.

Since that was the case, Jiang Weiwei certainly wasn’t going to easily let Jiang Moxi off the hook.

"Meow..."

Right then, a very faint meowing was heard.

Jiang Moxi was very afraid of cats, and upon hearing the meow, she immediately forgot her headache and hurriedly looked around.

She saw a grey fold-ear cat walking leisurely towards her!

Upon seeing it, Jiang Moxi’s brows knotted unwillingly: "Why did you follow me?"

Right, earlier downstairs, when Jiang Moxi and Mrs. Wu were casually chatting, this cat ran over and rubbed against Miss Xi’s leg.

But the people of Emperor City generally knew that Miss Xi was scared of cats.

So when Mrs. Wu noticed the cat came their way, she held it in her arms, fearing it would bump into Miss Xi.

Later, one of the reasons Jiang Moxi suggested to visit the garden was to avoid sharing space with this overly familiar creature.

What Jiang Moxi didn’t expect was that, even after she had escaped to the garden, the creature still followed her.

The fold-ear cat, as if responding to Jiang Moxi, meowed several times and then moved closer to her.

"Hey, don’t come over here! I don’t like you!"

The Jiang Moxi who feared neither heaven nor earth, and could face down a gun, now could only retreat again and again from this meowing, soft, and cute creature.

Yet the cat apparently had a particular affinity for Jiang Moxi and took a few more steps towards her.

"If you come any closer, I’ll skin you!"

Jiang Moxi started to make threats.

These words, however, gave Jiang Weiwei a new idea.

She had been thinking about how to ruin the relationship between Jiang Moxi and Wu Shirong’s brother, to ensure Jiang Moxi would be turned away by the Wu Family in the future!

And now, didn’t this opportunity just present itself to her?

So, Jiang Weiwei suddenly stepped forward, picked up the fold-ear cat, and while walking toward the edge of the rooftop garden, she threatened Jiang Moxi.

"Jiang Moxi, I gave you a chance, but you stubbornly refused to leave the Wu’s. Then I can only see you off..."

As Jiang Weiwei said this, she fiercely threw the fold-ear cat down from the building!
