Chapter 501: Underhanded Move (Part 1)
That was her humiliation, and she was determined to get it back from Jiang Xue. Thinking of this, Ming Lan’s gaze towards Jiang Xue turned fierce, and she said, "Jiang Xue, don’t be so smug."
"Don’t worry, I’m not smug. Even if I wanted to be, I’d wait until you’re down on your luck, right?" Jiang Xue replied earnestly, but it infuriated Ming Lan to no end.
"Jiang Xue, just you wait!" Ming Lan spat out a harsh line and then turned and left. Jiang Xue, watching Ming Lan walk away like that, was a bit baffled, not understanding what trick she had up her sleeve.
Frowning, Jiang Xue saw that there was no one in the small garden and was getting ready to leave. At this moment, she felt like the hem of her gown seemed to be caught by someone and was being pulled down hard.
Jiang Xue’s face changed, inwardly thinking something was wrong, and she immediately understood what Ming Lan was up to. No wonder Ming Lan left so decisively just now; she was waiting for her here.
Such a well-calculated plot.
The dress she wore today was a long gown, and now being pulled like this, the whole dress was already on the verge of slipping off.
If at this moment, a large crowd suddenly appeared, and her dress happened to be pulled down, she would be standing stark naked in front of everyone.
Understanding Ming Lan’s plan, Jiang Xue naturally couldn’t let the other party succeed. So, she quickly raised her hand, sending out a few bursts of spiritual power towards the thing tugging at her gown.
However, the small garden was somewhat dark, and she couldn’t see clearly whether it was a person or something else grabbing her dress.
Moreover, even after launching the spiritual power, the thing holding her gown showed no sign of loosening. Not only that, her dress was still sliding down bit by bit, and at this rate, it would soon slip off her shoulders.
If she couldn’t think of a way soon, it wouldn’t be long before the dress was completely pulled down.
And just then, someone from behind let out a sharp cry.
The cry was loud and shrill, drawing everyone from the hotel lobby to the garden. Ming Lan stood in the darkness, proudly looking at her masterpiece, watching Jiang Xue’s clothes being pulled down bit by bit, as a group of people moved towards the garden, a vicious gleam in her eyes.
Jiang Xue, you’re about to lose everything. If Mu Qiancheng finds out that everyone has seen you like this, I wonder if he’ll still want you?
Thinking about this, Ming Lan became even happier and then glanced at those flocking towards the garden, following behind them.
Lu Ling, hearing the commotion in the garden, knew it was Ming Lan’s doing, so she pulled Ouyang Yi towards the garden as well, looking forward to a good show.
Originally, she planned to drug Jiang Xue and then send her to a man’s bed. But later, Ming Lan told her that this was Gong Hai’s territory, and Gong Hai had a special interest in Jiang Xue, so this trick probably wouldn’t work.
Therefore, they quickly changed tactics, using the one Ming Lan was employing now, to publicly embarrass Jiang Xue to achieve their goal.
"Ah Yi, hurry up, something’s happened in the garden." Lu Ling impatiently urged Ouyang Yi, unhappy with his slow pace. She wanted to be the first to see Jiang Xue embarrassed, wishing she could immediately fly to Jiang Xue and watch her surrounded and exposed.
Ouyang Yi didn’t know Lu Ling and Ming Lan’s plan, and initially didn’t want to join the commotion, but Lu Ling took the initiative to hold his hand, which made him happy and confused as he followed along.
Lu Ling squeezed excitedly with Ouyang Yi into the crowd, wanting to see Jiang Xue’s disgrace and to hit Jiang Xue’s confidence. Raising her head, she was stunned by what she saw.
