Ning Keqing's explanation made others unwilling to trust her. It just led to more misunderstandings.

Ming Shu finished the apple and flung the core away. She clapped her hands and looked at Jiang Xun. "Brother, could you please go out and keep watch for me?"

Jiang Xun frowned and asked, "What are you going to do?"

"Hit her." Ming Shu pointed at Ning Keqing, who was still pretending to be innocent and pitiful.

Ning Keqing widened her eyes, surprised. Was Jiang Nian about to hit her here? And she even asked Jiang Xun to keep watch for her. Was she crazy?

"..." Jiang Xun was speechless. He swallowed words about doing it for her and said, "Be careful."

Ming Shu smiled.

Jiang Xun glanced at Ning Keqing and turned to leave, his footstep gradually disappearing.

Ming Shu touched her chin. Jiang Xun... Maybe he liked the Host. But the Host didn't know and even trampled on his love again and again.

And now Jiang Xun just met Ning Keqing when Ming Shu came to this world. So it was unlikely that Jiang Xun would fall in love with Ning Keqing.

Ah, it wasn't technically sound to obtain Hatred Points this way.

"Jiang Nian, what do you want to do?" Ning Keqing leaned against the wall, her mask fading. There was anger and hatred in her gaze.

She really couldn't remember when and where she offended Jiang Nian.

"I don't want to do anything." Ming Shu's smile became a little obscene, her eyes shining. "I just want to reason with Miss Ning. After all, I'm a reasonable woman."

"..." If Ming Shu really want to reason with her, why did she ask Jiang Xun to keep watch? Was she lying? She just said she was about to hit Ning Keqing! Did she think Ning Keqing forgot or didn't hear?

"Jiang Nian." Ning Keqing calmed down. She had lived two lives, she couldn't be frightened by Jiang Nian. "When did I offend you?"

At first, when Jiang Nian had only poured juice on Ning Keqing, it could be that she was helping Song Man. But how could she explain what Jiang Nian had done later?

There was no reason for it.

"Maybe in your last life." It was quite right. In Ning Keqing's last life, she bullied the Host severely.

Ming Shu answered randomly. But Ning Keqing, who'd kept this secret, was quite frightened. However, when she thought about it, she found that she didn't have any relations with Jiang Nian in her last life, so she must not have offended her back then.

"Jiang Nian, shouldn't you give me a reason as to why you did all this to me?"

Ming Shu felt confused. "Eh, why are you pretending to be a white lotus?"

Because Li Shaonan and Jiang Xun were not here, Ning Keqing was unwilling to act. It was not professional. What if passersby saw her real self!

"..."

Ming Shu, with a smile on her face, walked toward Ning Keqing, step after step. Ning Keqing couldn't back away anymore and sweat appeared on her forehead. She hadn't learned Kong Fu, but she knew that Jiang Nian had.

Ning Keqing threatened her with words. "Jiang Nian, the journalists are outside. No matter what you do to me, it'll be reported tomorrow."

Ming Shu caught Ning Keqing's arm and smiled. "It doesn't matter. It's not me who'll become a laughing stock."
