Chapter 1172 Listen to the secret

A man's voice came from the receiver.

"Sister Yi Ning."

Jiang Yining's expression turned cold instantly, but he still didn't speak.

The person on the other side of the phone waited for a few seconds and laughed:

"Sister Yining, I know what you heard, I am your brother Ziqian."

Jiang Ziqian's tone was like that of an old friend. After revealing his identity, he didn't beat around the bush and directly started to tell the purpose of the call.

"Do you think it's strange why I didn't tell your grandma what happened that night?"

Jiang Yining frowned and said in a cold voice:

"I remember I said, whatever you want, you can say it, you don't need to report it to me."

Jiang Ziqian had expected that she would have such an attitude and didn't take it to heart.

He smiled.

"Sister Yi Ning, do you think that with Third Master Mu protecting you, the Jiang family won't do anything to you?"

In the past few days, their family had discussed it countless times and thoroughly analyzed what Jiang Yining did after returning to Sijiu City.

Finally, I came to the conclusion that this woman is really smart.

Take it step by step, and everything you do can consolidate and pave the way for your next step.

No, hugging Mr. Mu's lap immediately weakened her status as an adopted daughter. Even if the Jiang family wanted to touch her, they would have to think twice.

However, if Jiang Yining wants to marry into the Mu family, she must also be a young lady of the Jiang family.

Does Third Master Mu know that Jiang Yining is just the adopted daughter of the Jiang family?

The more Jiang Ziqian thought about it, the more excited he became, and he intuitively found Jiang Yining's handle!

As long as she wants to marry Mr. Mu, she must listen to him!

Jiang Yining said coldly:

"Whatever you say, if you want to threaten me... I'm sorry, I won't accompany you."

After saying that, she was ready to hang up the phone.

"What if Mr. Mu doesn't protect you?"

As if he knew Jiang Yining was going to hang up the phone, Jiang Ziqian spoke quickly.

"Sister Yi Ning, let's talk. Don't keep rejecting people. It won't do you any good."

Jiang Yining seemed to have heard something funny and couldn't help laughing.

"At least, rejecting people like you who always want to take advantage of others will save me a lot of trouble."

She is not blind.

Ever since she returned to Sijiucheng and met Jiang Ziqian's family in Jiangzhai, she could always see calculation and greed in Jiang Ziqian's eyes every time they met.

As if she were a valuable item.

That kind of sight is very uncomfortable.

This is also the reason why Jiang Yining has a cold attitude towards these relatives every time they meet.

Jiang Ziqian was embarrassed by such straightforward words.

This was indeed his ultimate goal, but Jiang Yining made it obvious.

However, she's not that clean either!

He wants to use Jiang Yining to get people from the Jiang family, and Jiang Yining wants to use the Jiang family to get ahold of Mr. Mu. What's the difference?
If you don't do it for yourself, you will be punished!
Jiang Ziqian sneered.

"So, sister Yi Ning, are you not afraid that I will tell Mr. Mu your most embarrassing secret?"

When Jiang Yining heard this, he was slightly stunned and found it a bit funny.

The worst secret?
She didn't even know she had such a secret.

However, she finally saw it clearly.

Jiang Ziqian even said such words in order to tease her, tearing away his good brother appearance and successfully attracting her attention.

What kind of secret had he concocted, and what did he want from her?
...In other words, what does he want to do to the Jiang family?
Jiang Yining narrowed his eyes slightly and said in an extremely cold voice:
"What do you want?"

Jiang Ziqian smiled, with a sense of success:

"I said it at the beginning, sister Yi Ning, let's talk. It's lunch time now. I made a reservation at a French restaurant called Milo on Yanbei Road. I want to see you within an hour, otherwise, Sister Yining, don’t blame me.”

After that, he hung up the phone directly.

Jiang Yining had a cold face and was about to take his phone back when it vibrated again.

She answered. "Hello?"

The phone was silent for two seconds.

"Who made my Ning Ning angry, huh?"

Mu Chen's special timbre, a deep and melodious voice came from the receiver.

Jiang Yining was startled, and the depression in his heart suddenly dissipated a lot.

"No, I just received a harassing phone call."

"No wonder you were on the phone when I called you just now." Mu Chen coaxed in a low voice, "Brother, help you deal with it?"

Jiang Yining thought for a while and said:

"The person who called me said that he knew my secret. If I tell you this secret, you will no longer protect me."

Mu Chen obviously didn't expect such an answer, and was stunned for a while.

Then came the categorical denial.

"impossible."

Jiang Yining pursed her lips, smiled silently, and invited:
"Brother Mu, do you want to go and listen together?"

Mu Chen did not respond directly, but said:
"Leave it to my brother to handle it, okay? He won't have a chance to speak."

Jiang Yining blinked.

Does this mean... that she wants to deal with the person who knows the secret and help her keep it secret?

Mu Chen thinks she really has such a secret?

She endured it for a long time, but finally couldn't hold it back anymore, and she burst out laughing.

"Why is Ning Ning laughing?"

Jiang Yining smiled and said:
"But, I want to know what the secret is!"

Mu Shen paused and probably understood what was going on.

"Okay, let's go together then, and then go have lunch after listening. Then...does Ning Ning know? My sister-in-law is pregnant."

Jiang Yining said "hmm". Thinking of this, the unhappiness in his heart completely dissipated.

"I know, Brother Jing called me just now. I wanted to go see Sister Jing after dinner. Let's go together after dinner!"

Listening to the little girl's voice, she became excited, and there was a smile in Mu's deep voice.

"Okay, let's go together."

"Oh, by the way, I need to buy some fruit for the visit first!"

"Well, then I'll come and pick you up now?"

Jiang Yining refused and reported the address given by Jiang Ziqian.

"I can go by myself. You go and find a good place to listen to the secret first. Don't let the other party find out."

"……Row."

Apart from conniving, there was nothing he could do to her.

"See you soon, bye!"

Jiang Yining hung up the phone, strode out of the base with long, slender legs.

She felt much better than before.

There was even a little chuckle before the prank.

The base is some distance from the city center, and when we arrived at the restaurant designated by Jiang Ziqian, it was almost an hour later.

She stood at the door and looked in.

She ignored Jiang Ziqian, who was waving to her, and scanned the restaurant.

It was meal time, and most of the seats in the restaurant were occupied, but Mu Chen was not seen.

Haven't arrived yet?

Jiang Yining took out his mobile phone, clicked on Mu Chen's dialog box, and typed.

【Are you there yet? 】

"Yining! This way!"

Jiang Ziqian left the table, walked over, stretched out his hand, and grabbed her arm.
