Her Imperfection for Wifehood - Chapter 21.1
Chapter 21.1
Therefore, Wei Yinxia’s “reconciliation” with An Jing in the Old Town was all within the expectations of Wei Zhengqing and Kahn.
The person who fired the second and third shots outside the hospital was also hired by him. As for why the pregnant woman appeared, that was linked to Zhang Wanying.
Killing with a borrowed knife was the most common method.
His goal was to make Xu Weiqiang the number one target of the police and the number one enemy of the Qiao Gang, forcing them to destroy each other so he could reap the benefits.
Chen Dong’s survival five years ago forced him to flee back to his home country to regroup. Chen Dong had caused him to suffer public humiliation among the Chinese. Only Chen Dong’s death could resolve his hatred. How could he tolerate Chen Dong enjoying family happiness with children around him?
Also, Xu Weiqiang’s dominance in the Shanghai underworld was a major obstacle to his profits in Shanghai.
He planned to divert the disaster, consuming Chen Dong’s power to destroy Xu Weiqiang’s. Killing two birds with one stone. Let Chen Dong and Xu Weiqiang fight like dogs, leaving Xu Weiqiang unable to even save himself.
This way, An Jing, without the Lu Gang as a backup, would be like having an arm severed. Losing the Lu Gang’s protection, her intelligence network would surely suffer as well.
The Lu Gang was in trouble. Now, it was the An family’s turn.
That day, Wei Yinxia used the excuse of helping her mother deliver something to Wei Lanyin’s house and, on the way back, stopped by An Jing’s office.
“Please inform Boss Jing that Miss Wei Yinxia has come to visit,” Xu’er said to the receptionist.
“Boss Jing is meeting with a client. Your Miss may have to wait a while.” The company was unlike the An residence; their focus was solely on work.
“It’s fine. Xu’er, let’s wait a bit.” Wei Yinxia was sensible and would not rely on favor to interrupt An Jing’s work without good reason.
An Jing’s uncle had a late-in-life son, An Yi, seventeen years old, who didn’t study properly and either swaggered around the An factory or caused trouble outside.
Only his father would say that “he can handle business on his own.”
Sure enough, just as Wei Yinxia sat down in the reception area, the lustful An Yi followed her in, whistling.
The An family had good genes. The An descendants were either “handsome and charming” or “pretty and graceful.”
An Yi was also a notorious playboy. Before he even turned eighteen, he had slept with no fewer than ten women. Half were from pleasure houses, and the other half were respectable young girls he had bribed into bed with money.
The easy ones were paid off; the difficult ones, who tried to use pregnancy to gain status, not only had abortions but also faced lawsuits.
Money makes the world go round.
As soon as Wei Yinxia entered, An Yi, who had been loafing around, noticed her.
This woman was beautiful and elegant, with an outstanding temperament. None of the women he had slept with or the ones who flattered him could compare.
An Yi immediately felt a man’s desire for conquest. If he couldn’t charm her himself, he would use his family status. One way or another, he’d succeed.
“Is this beautiful lady here to see Boss Jing?” An Yi smirked, walking up to Wei Yinxia and extending his right hand in a formal gesture: “Hello. Let me introduce myself first. My name is An Yi. I am Boss Jing’s cousin. Have you heard of me?”
He hadn’t attended Wei Zhengqing’s birthday banquet or seen Wei Yinxia elsewhere, so he didn’t recognize her.
“Young Master Yi, I apologize for the slight.” Wei Yinxia stood up and shook his hand.
“What should I call you, Miss?”
“Wei Yinxia.”
“Wei… So, it’s Second Miss Wei. What a pity. I almost had to call you Cousin-in-Law.” He hadn’t seen her, but he had heard the name dozens of times recently. “Second Miss Wei’s beauty is truly stunning. No wonder An Xi was willing to defy his cousin just to get engaged to you. I would do the same. Sigh, too bad I’m not as lucky as the siblings. I wasn’t born into the main line of the family. Second Miss Wei probably wouldn’t look favorably on me.”
“Young Master Yi is joking. You are a distinguished person. You don’t need to put yourself down.” Wei Yinxia tried to pull her hand away, but he held on tightly.
“Cousin is very busy all day. Second Miss Wei can tell me if there’s anything you need.” An Yi refused to let go, taking the opportunity to grope her.
“It’s just a personal matter. No need for Young Master Yi to trouble himself.”
Wei Yinxia felt sick. She frowned and said: “Regarding the engagement between An Xi and me, An Xi has already explained it publicly recently, and Boss Jing has also expressed that she bears no ill will and is willing to treat me as a sister. Although I rarely go out, I have long admired Boss Jing. The few times I’ve visited were at the An residence to meet with Boss Jing and Young Master Xi. I was curious about Boss Jing’s work environment, and since the weather is nice today and I happen to have some free time, I asked Father for permission and brought some snacks and refreshments especially to see Boss Jing.”
To have visited the An residence multiple times means her relationship with An Jing and An Xi was anything but superficial.
Wei Yinxia naively thought that using An Jing’s name would force the irritating An Yi to back off, but judging by his lecherous face, he hadn’t taken any of her words to heart.
“Why are you explaining so much, Second Miss Wei? What are you trying to tell me?” An Yi moved closer instead of retreating, pressing his advantage: “Are you telling me that you and An Xi will no longer talk about love, only be friends? Or are you telling me that as long as you can marry into the An family, anyone will do?”
“Young Master Yi, you’ve misunderstood…”
Xu’er, watching anxiously, loudly reminded him: “Young Master Yi, you’re hurting my Miss’s hand!”
