Chapter 68 Even if Jian Ning is a liar

Xiao Li: "Ningning, wait for me. I'll go tell the bosses at the dinner party over there, and then I'll take you home."

Jian Ning thought about her mission. After all, meeting Xiao Heqi was not easy, so she had to give it a try.

She declined, saying, "No need. Your brother and I still have some private matters to discuss. Let your brother take me."

Xiao Heqi, who had been silent all along, finally spoke.

Did I say I was going to give it to you?

Jian Ning said in a rather seductive tone, "Give it to me, and there'll be a surprise!"

Xiao Heqi gave her a cold look and said indifferently, "Jian Ning, I'm not a three-year-old child."

The implication was that he wouldn't be deceived by her.

Xiao Li's gaze turned strange again, sweeping back and forth between the two of them. He curled his lips and asked, "Ningning, can you give me the same surprise next time?"

Jian Ning frowned.

Even those who treat childlessness are in high demand.

She nodded and said, "Okay, I'll give it to you if you need it in the future."

Upon receiving Jian Ning's delightful promise, Xiao Li immediately perked up again.

"Brother, could you take Ningning with you? I won't bother you any longer."

Jian Ning waved, "Bye-bye."

Xiao Li waved goodbye to her before reluctantly heading to the dinner party.

Only Jian Ning and Xiao Heqi remained in the same spot.

Jian Ning turned around and saw that Xiao Heqi was unmoved, so she had no choice but to use the manor as bait again.

"Don't you want to discuss the matter of the villa any further?"

Xiao Heqi said coldly, "No need."

He knew that she was beating around the bush during the meal because she didn't actually want to sell Huayue Villa.

Jian Ning looked at Xiao Heqi's cold demeanor, scrutinized him from head to toe, then from toe to head, her eyes finally settling on the middle section.

Standing at 1.9 meters tall, with a cold and aloof face, his appearance can be considered top-tier.

But he had no heir.

If she hadn't learned it from the system, she would never have guessed that Xiao Heqi, despite his seemingly strong exterior, was actually quite incompetent.

Xiao Heqi wasn't blind; he couldn't possibly miss the other person's blatant scrutinizing gaze.

When he realized where her gaze was fixed, his ears inexplicably burned.

Does this woman even know what shame is?

He strode forward, leaving the woman behind, without looking back. "Come on, I'll take you home."

Jian Ning followed suit with satisfaction.

The two drove quickly, and Jian Ning, feeling that to avoid an awkward atmosphere in the car later, reminded him, "What we're about to say might be difficult for the driver to hear. Brother He, you drive yourself."

Xiao Heqi walked straight to the driver's side door, opened it, and got in.

It turns out that Jian Ning was just worrying because she didn't bring a driver today.

Jian Ning quickly walked around the front of the car, opened the passenger door, and got in.

In the darkness, the unassuming Cullinan slowly drove forward, leaving Huiyunxuan.

While eating, Jian Ning pondered how best to bring up this matter, and finally decided that it would be better to be direct.

"Xiao Heqi, I know you have a health problem!"

Jian Ning suddenly said something out of the blue.

Xiao Heqi tightened his grip on the steering wheel.

Before Xiao Heqi could speak, Jian Ning said quickly, "To be honest, I came to see you not to discuss the sale of the manor, but to treat your illness."

Just then, they came to a 60-second red light, and Xiao He slammed on the brakes to stop the car.

He turned his head and looked at Jian Ning.

Jian Ning wore a mysterious and enigmatic expression: "Shh! Don't speak, just listen to me. Don't worry about how I know you have a health problem, I can cure you anyway."

They're making a big promise now; whether it works or not is another matter.

Xiao Heqi's eyes flashed. "How did you know?"

Not many people knew about his unusual physical condition.

His medical team signed confidentiality agreements, and the few people who knew about it were people he could absolutely trust.

Unless, of course, it was the person who poisoned him.

Jian Ning: "Never mind how I know, just tell me, do you want to be cured?"

Xiao Heqi countered with, "What do you want?"

The fact that he has health problems must absolutely not be spread, otherwise it will affect Yichen Technology. This woman, she even eats half of Yunxuan's notebook while eating.

Such a greedy person, suddenly bringing up his health problems, must be trying to use that information to blackmail him.

Jian Ning certainly had his own agenda; Yichen Technology was Su Shijian's largest investor.

She wanted Xiao Heqi to stand on her side and cut off the investment.

Ideally, he would lend her a hand when she exposes Su Shijian's true colors.

However, to Xiao Heqi, she is currently just a stranger.

What makes her capable of getting Xiao Heqi to make such a big change?

When the variable costs outweigh the unknown outcomes, it is not appropriate to be in this conversation.

She said calmly, "Just focus on getting me cured, I don't need anything else."

In any case, the task of treating Xiao Heqi still needs to be done.

The mission reward was unusually generous, and she had to take it.

Things that are free are often the most expensive.

Xiao Heqi stared intently at her, unable to detect even a hint of panic in her.

This confirms that she wasn't using this information to threaten him, otherwise she would have asked for something.

Xiao Heqi: "I don't like owing favors to others."

Jian Ning knew he was overly guarded; that's how rich people are.

She said, "If I really cure you, could you send me one of your Yichen Technology's concept robots for accompanying the elderly after they are produced?"

That kind of robot would be perfect for keeping Grandma company.

Xiao Heqi's eyes ignited with a surge of heat, but it quickly cooled under the pressure of reason. "But what makes you think I can believe that you can definitely cure me?"

Jian Ning met his cold eyes.

The gentle protectiveness in her eyes faded, replaced by an unwavering determination and pride.

"Do you have any other choice but to believe me?"

Jian Ning's words hit the mark perfectly.

Xiao Heqi was born with a weak constitution and was later secretly poisoned for many years.

With the support of his biological mother, he founded Yichen Technology and has now reached a position that can rival the Xiao family.

But his body was already at its limit.

Over the years, he has invested in pharmaceuticals and researched drugs in an effort to alleviate the side effects of poisoning.

Besides relieving pain, it also has a negligible effect.

His body was already deteriorating day by day.

At that moment, someone suddenly ran up to him and confidently told him that he could cure him.

As Jian Ning said.

He has no choice.

Even if Jian Ning is a liar, he is willing to give her a chance.

but……

Xiao Heqi was inherently suspicious. His face held a mixture of doubt, intimidation, and probing as he coldly said, "Actually, you can't cure me at all. Are you planning to join forces with the Xiao family to kill me completely?"

He leaned his head closer to Jian Ning, deliberately probing her, then stared intently at the expression on her face, his imposing presence enough to instill fear in her.

He could detect even the slightest hint of guilt in the other party.

Jian Ning's lips twitched.

Xiao Heqi sneered. Had he caught her true thoughts?
She and those people from the Xiao family are a den of snakes and rats!
Jian Ning slapped him away, saying with disgust, "Xiao Heqi, you spit in my face when you talk! Watch your mouth, this is not the right way to treat your future savior, it's impolite!"

Xiao Heqi: "..."

He was silent.

At this time, the green light comes on.

The Cullinan was forced to continue driving forward.

Jian Ning looked at the dim streetlights passing by outside and said, "Xiao Heqi, you are a man with a sharp tongue, a suspicious nature, and a cold and ruthless attitude."

No one had ever dared to speak of Xiao Heqi in this way.

Xiao Heqi, who was driving, really wanted to drift around a corner and throw the passenger out of the window.

Before Xiao Heqi could react, Jian Ning immediately followed up with her own words.

“But I’m different. I’m a kind, warm-hearted woman who repays evil with good. So, I won’t hold a grudge against you for not paying attention to my affairs last time. You can rest assured, at most I’ll have some medical accidents, I won’t deliberately kill you.”
