Chapter 724: Remember This Favor!
At the same moment.
In Nanpo Apartment, Qin Nanyu crossed his arms and leaned against the door frame.
His dark eyes watched Ji Weitian intently as she hung his clothes, one by one, back in the wardrobe. He was just about to catch her off guard and embrace her from behind when the phone in his pocket suddenly rang.
It was He Feichen’s call.
Too early or too late, it had to come exactly at this moment, almost as if trying to deny him any satisfaction.
Seeing that the ringtone had already alerted Ji Weitian to his presence, Qin Nanyu wasn’t in a rush to approach. He simply answered the call.
"The person you asked me to investigate, I’ve found out about him," He Feichen’s lazy voice came through the phone.
"Is it Lu Jing?" Qin Nanyu asked, his tone mild.
"No, it’s someone none of you would have thought of," He Feichen teased, just about to provoke Qin Nanyu’s appetite when Kali slapped him on the forehead and he hurriedly pleaded.
"Alright, alright, I’m not bullying your idol, I’m about to tell him..." He Feichen wailed twice and, without waiting for Qin Nanyu to ask, directly said.
"It’s someone from the Ji Family. If I’m not wrong, it should be Ji Weitian’s stepmother, Su Sumei."
Su Sumei...
Qin Nanyu’s dark eyes narrowed slightly, a dangerous glint flashing across them.
He indeed had completely forgotten about this woman.
"Since the investigation results were so unexpected, I figure you hadn’t considered it, so I took the initiative to inquire about the current situation in the Ji Family," He Feichen paused, casually reminding him.
"Ever since Ji Mofeng, that old fox, suspected that you liked Ji Weitian, he hasn’t dared to easily mess with Ji Weitian’s foster parents. Not only that, but due to the fiasco last time, the mother and daughter pair in the Ji Family had been taught a lesson by Ji Mofeng, and it’s said life has not been easy for them since... Su Sumei, with her scheming ways, not only actively tries to win back her husband’s affection and pave the way for her daughter but also won’t let Ji Weitian off. This incident, it seems, accidentally hit the mark."
According to He Feichen’s conjecture, Su Sumei’s initial goal was likely to catch Ji Weitian entangled with another man and make Qin Nanyu think he had been cuckolded.
But to Su Sumei’s surprise, Ji Weitian either spent time in the laboratory or stayed at home, giving her no opportunity. Thus, she took a risk and targeted Qin Nanyu instead.
In a romantic relationship, it didn’t matter which party was in trouble; the result would be the same.
By exposing Qin Nanyu’s affair with another woman, it would not only agitate Ji Weitian but also let Ji Mofeng know that Ji Weitian had fallen from grace in Qin Nanyu’s eyes and would no longer pose a threat to the Ji Family.
With this, Su Sumei’s objective would be achieved!
A few photos and fabricated stories could lead to such favorable outcomes; inadvertently, Qin Nanyu might truly end up breaking up with Ji Weitian... To Su Sumei, it was an incredibly lucrative deal.
"I’ve told you all I know. How to handle this is up to you," He Feichen said, about to hang up, when Qin Nanyu spoke up.
"How’s your injury?"
"...You inhumane guy, is this your conscience kicking in? Are you actually concerned about me?" He Feichen’s voice choked up, almost moved to tears.
After knowing Qin Nanyu all these years, when had Qin Nanyu ever cared about his wellbeing on his own initiative?
Qin Nanyu: "I just wanted to remind you that it was me who specifically had someone tell you that Kali would be in danger. Thanks to that, now you have the chance to freeload at Kali’s place. This favor, you should remember."
He Feichen: "..."
