Zhou Jingyun was just about to answer the call, and he had even thought of how to scold Shao Ying. But just as he was about to pick up the call, he stopped and turned to look at Jiang Tong. His eyes flickered as if he had thought of something fun. “Come, have a seat.” He pulled Jiang Tong. As he spoke, he had Jiang Tong sit on his lap, then picked up Shao Ying’s call and put it on speaker.
“Zhou Jingyun… cough, cough.” Shao Ying’s voice came out from the phone. It was very cold and suppressed. She even coughed lightly as she spoke. When she spoke again, her tone was much more relaxed. She said, “Zhou Jingyun, I think I have to explain to you. I heard about what happened today. I didn’t arrange it. It was Feng Kun who acted on his own. He misunderstood my intentions…”
Hearing Shao Ying’s words, Zhou Jingyun could not help but sneer. Shao Ying was always like this! Regardless of whether the matter today was successful or not, Shao Ying would never admit that she was the one who had arranged it. She would say that her subordinates had misunderstood her, or that they had arranged it themselves to please her. Shao Ying had said the same thing after Zhou Jingyun’s three fake girlfriends had met with mishaps! That was a lie that no one would believe! No one would believe it! But Shao Ying said this every time! Regarding this, Zhou Jingyun could guess Shao Ying’s thoughts. On the one hand, she was such a shameless person. If she shirked responsibility and things got out of hand afterward, she would not be implicated. The one who would be dragged out to take the blame would only be someone close to her! Also, although Shao Ying was crazy, she was crazy because of her emotions. She thought things through meticulously, and she would not give any chance to record any evidence! Therefore, whenever she was on the phone with Zhou Jingyun, or with anyone who was not part of the Shao family or her loyal subordinates, she would never admit that she had done anything dirty. According to her words, she never arranged for others to do bad things!
“Oh, really? You didn’t arrange it? I knew it. How could these few pieces of trash be arranged by the Shao family’s young lady? Their little tricks and useless abilities are not worthy of your identity as the Shao family’s young lady! I don’t think you’d make such a stupid arrangement to send someone to City Z to die,” Zhou Jingyun kept addressing her as the young lady of the Shao family. Although he sounded respectful, his tone was full of sarcasm.
Shao Ying’s breathing suddenly became much heavier. She could feel that there was something wrong with Zhou Jingyun today. In the past, he would always scold her directly, but this time, he did not scold her. Instead, he changed it to mocking her in a strange way. It was very odd.
After Zhou Jingyun finished speaking, he gave Jiang Tong a look. Jiang Tong laughed at once. It could only be said that Zhou Jingyun’s desire for revenge was a little strong.
“Who is it? Shao Ying?” Jiang Tong asked directly, cooperating with Zhou Jingyun.
“Yes, Babe, it’s that id*ot Shao Ying.” Zhou Jingyun held the phone a little further away. Although it was far away, the speaker was still on, and the audio recording was especially clear.
“Don’t say vulgarities,” Jiang Tong chided him. Zhou Jingyun snorted coldly, “Pay attention to my manners? She’s already sent people to kill you, and you’re still telling me to pay attention to my manners?”
“Does that trash from Shao Ying’s side have the ability to get close to me? If I didn’t give them a chance, do you think they would have the chance to make a move?” Jiang Tong laughed disdainfully, and her voice was full of contempt.
“Yes, my babe is the best.” As he spoke, Zhou Jingyun kissed Jiang Tong on the cheek, and the sound was especially loud! He flirted with Jiang Tong for a while more before he took the phone back. His tone had returned to its previous coldness, and he even said to Shao Ying on the other end of the phone with a hint of mockery, “Miss Shao Ying, you still haven’t hung up the phone? What was going on? Is your asthma acting up again? If you’re sick, you should get treatment quickly. Otherwise, you might die suddenly in the next second. Then I’d be so happy!”
Shao Ying’s breathing was really very heavy! It was because she had heard the conversation between Zhou Jingyun and Jiang Tong! She could even imagine how gentle and doting Zhou Jingyun, the man she had been thinking about day and night, was in front of another woman! And he even called her ‘Babe’! Was this still the cold, overbearing, and domineering Zhou Jingyun from before? Shao Ying’s breathing was really like an asthma attack. Zhou Jingyun, who had always been dismissive of her, was now treating another woman with extra gentleness. This made Shao Ying feel like her brain was about to explode!
“You’re not talking? Then I’m hanging up,” Zhou Jingyun said.
