CHAPTER 457: CHAPTER 457:

"Have you gone mad?" Jiang Moxi couldn’t believe that Jiang Weiwei had stooped to such malicious depths.

To drive her, Jiang Moxi, away from the Wu Family, she was even ruthless enough to harm an innocent kitten.

Although Jiang Moxi didn’t like cats, she couldn’t remain indifferent to the familiar creature that had approached her earlier, so she went to the edge of the garden to look.

But the mischievous little fellow that had cozied up to her was now silently lying on the ground...

"Yes, I have gone mad, driven mad by you! It’s you who has to compete with me for everything, pressing me into this state!"

Jiang Weiwei’s voice remained gentle, but her face still wore a smile, a smile close to the brink of madness!

"I will not allow you to marry into the Wu Family! This place can only be mine!"

As she dropped that remark, she also leaned forward to look down from the balcony.

Seeing the cat lying silently on the ground, unsure if it was alive or dead, she suddenly let out a piercing scream: "Ah!"

The scream tore through the silent skies above the Wu house, causing countless people to rush to this rooftop garden.

The first to arrive was Fu Youhan.

"Xixi, what’s happened? Are you alright?"

The first thing Fu Youhan did when he arrived was to hurriedly check Jiang Moxi over, concerned that she might have hurt herself.

Once certain that Jiang Moxi wasn’t injured, Fu Youhan embraced her without hesitation.

And his hug felt like he was using all his strength, almost as if he wanted to merge Jiang Moxi into his very bones.

Besides that, Jiang Moxi also felt Fu Youhan’s hands embracing her trembling...

This was likely an aftereffect of the shock he suffered when she nearly got killed by someone from Orion, now any slight disturbance around her made Fu Youhan incredibly anxious.

Seeing the man’s desperate and helpless state, reminiscent of an oversize loyal dog eager for an embrace, a ripple stirred in the calm pond of Jiang Moxi’s heart.

In the end, she couldn’t help but raise her hand to gently pat Fu Youhan’s back: "It’s okay. I’m fine. Don’t be like this..."

But Fu Youhan still refused to relax his tight grip on her, it was unclear whether he had really been scared badly, or was taking the chance to overstep boundaries.

Watching Third Master Fu rush over in such panic and anxiety, inspecting Jiang Moxi for injuries, then cautiously and tenderly enfolding her into his arms, Jiang Weiwei was beyond shocked.

Indeed, Jiang Weiwei had not expected Jiang Moxi to come with Third Young Master.

At that moment, she also realised that she might have misunderstood Jiang Moxi.

If she had come with Third Young Master, then she wouldn’t be the girlfriend of Wu Shirong’s brother, and it seemed they no longer had a conflict of interest.

But now, because of Jiang Weiwei’s scream, the Wu family members had rushed to the scene in succession.

Upon seeing Jiang Weiwei present as well, Wu Shirong and Mrs. Wu also hurriedly came forward to check on her.

"Weiwei, what’s wrong? Why didn’t you say hello when you arrived?"

"Weiwei, are you okay? Didn’t I tell you to stay in my room just now, why did you come out again?"

Jiang Weiwei, receiving Wu Shirong and Mrs. Wu’s concern, was even more unwilling to waste the stage she had set up with such effort.

Jiang Weiwei’s face was pale, and her voice quavered as if she had been frightened.

"I-I’m fine. It’s just, just..."

Jiang Weiwei glanced fearfully at Jiang Moxi, and upon seeing Jiang Moxi looking back coldly at her, she recoiled as if startled, quickly averting her gaze and shivering: "I didn’t see anything."

Yes, even if Jiang Moxi wasn’t with Wu Shirong’s brother, and currently there was no conflict of interest with Jiang Weiwei, Jiang Weiwei still couldn’t stand to see her living well.

Especially now that she is so cherished by Third Master Fu, Jiang Weiwei feels even more unbalanced inside.

She had put a lot of effort into winning over Wu Shirong.

But that was limited only to the bedroom.

At other times, Jiang Weiwei didn’t feel much cherished by Wu Shirong.

Yet just now, Third Master Fu’s behavior towards Jiang Moxi seemed as if he cherished her to the extreme.

That kind of absolute adoration would surely allow Jiang Moxi to firmly grasp Third Master Fu and truly become Madame Fu.

Moreover, if the Jiang Family knew that Jiang Moxi was still together with Third Master Fu, and that Third Master Fu only had eyes for Jiang Moxi, then they would definitely come licking Jiang Moxi’s boots again.

By that time, she, Jiang Weiwei, would no longer be the favorite of the Jiang Family and lose that sense of superiority she felt being able to dismiss Jiang Sibei and his family back to Yan City with just a word.

Therefore, Jiang Weiwei decided to stick to her original plan of framing Jiang Moxi!

In this way, the Wu Family would no longer welcome Jiang Moxi in the future, and they would also spread the word about what Jiang Moxi did today, making her ostracized by the Emperor City circle.

If she could make Third Master Fu realize how "viper-hearted" Jiang Moxi is, and thus start to dislike and stay away from her, that would be even better.

Jiang Weiwei acted out her own malicious plan, performing her fear and wariness towards Jiang Moxi.

Meanwhile, Wu Shirong was asking with concern, "What happened? If there is something, tell us, and we’ll resolve it together."

However, Mrs. Wu, upon noticing Jiang Weiwei’s gaze constantly directed towards Miss Xi, began to worry if it was something related to Miss Xi.

Although Jiang Weiwei was her lifesaver, and she shouldn’t let Jiang Weiwei be mistreated in their house by rights,

Miss Xi, as well as the Feng Family, were even more untouchable for the Wu Family.

Hence, holding the idea of minimizing big troubles and resolving small ones, Mrs. Wu hastily said, "If it’s nothing, let’s all go downstairs to have tea and chat. I’ve had the kitchen prepare..."

Jiang Weiwei was shrewd; she naturally understood Mrs. Wu did not want her to reveal certain things and wanted to play them down.

But with all the trouble Jiang Weiwei had gone through to set up this plot, how could she just let Jiang Moxi off the hook?

Thus, before Mrs. Wu could finish speaking, she directly said, "The, the cat has been thrown down the stairs."

"What? You’re saying Pidan fell down?"

Mrs. Wu was very fond of cats, especially the clingy Pidan.

Hearing that her beloved Pidan had fallen down the stairs, she rushed to the edge of the balcony to check and indeed saw her treasured Pidan lying there silently.

"My goodness! Hurry and take Pidan to the pet hospital!"

In great anxiety, Mrs. Wu told the servants and the driver to take Pidan to the pet hospital.

If it were not for Miss Xi being present, she would definitely have gone to the pet hospital herself.

Even as Mrs. Wu was in her frantic worry, Jiang Weiwei added, "I really don’t know why she would harm an innocent cat, how cruel!"

Jiang Weiwei’s tone was still soft and fragile, but her eyes, when meeting Jiang Moxi’s, were full of provocation.

As if to say to Jiang Moxi: I am framing you, what can you do to me?

But what puzzled Jiang Weiwei was that although her act of framing was more than halfway through, Jiang Moxi remained utterly calm, just looking at her with a cool demeanor.

It felt as though she was an outsider, expressionless but intelligently in control of the entire scene.

To provoke Jiang Moxi, Jiang Weiwei then suggested, "Let’s call the police! Even if it’s just a cat, it’s still a living being. How can we stand by and watch it being senselessly killed?"

But what Jiang Weiwei didn’t expect at all was that right after she made the suggestion, Wu Shirong sharply scolded her, "Weiwei! Stop spouting nonsense!"

Mrs. Wu was even more cold and direct, "Miss Xi would never do such a cruel thing! If anything, it was Pidan who bumped into Miss Xi!"
