My Ex-Husband Is Proposing Again

Chapter 658: Chapter 658: The one who sets the trap……_1

Su Hongxing turned to look, only to find that Xiao Ji had disappeared.

Very soon, Xiao Ji entered the ward with two bottles of beverages in his hands. He passed the cola to Jiang Su and the coconut juice to Su Hongxing.

“Xingxing, you used to love this brand of coconut juice so much, always finding ways to con me into buying it for you.” Xiao Ji’s eyes sparkled as he reminisced.

Su Hongxing felt somewhat awkward; all that was quite a while back.

She stared at the bottle which he had already twisted open for her, her mind a whirl.

Indeed, she used to love this coconut juice to death. What she liked most was seeing Xiao Ji’s helpless expression when she coaxed him into buying it for her.

...

Each time he bought her coconut juice, he would thoughtfully twist open the bottle cap for her, just like at this moment.

“Brother Xiao Ji, why do you always favor her, only helping her open the bottle cap…” Jiang Su muttered reflexively. When she looked up, she saw Ye Qilan’s expressionless face.

Startled, the beverage was snatched from her hand by Ye Qilan.

The next moment, Ye Qilan opened the bottle for her and handed it back. She forced a dry laugh, not daring to meet his eyes further.

She was sure she had misspoken, but it seemed like she hadn’t.

Su Hongxing took a sip of the coconut juice, followed by another, at a loss for words. She used to drink this brand when she was younger. Back then, the drink tasted so sweet it seemed to penetrate her heart, making her believe it was the best beverage in the world.

Now when she tasted it again, it was nothing special. She couldn’t recapture the feelings and taste from those days.

Putting down her drink, she fixated her gaze on Jiang Su. Feeling jittery under her intense scrutiny, Jiang Su stuttered, “Sister…”

“Spill the beans. Why did you take that job? Why were you in the water tank? Are you so short of money that you’re ready to risk your life?” Su Hongxing stared coldly at Jiang Su.

“It’s not how you think…” Jiang Su hurried to explain, “I’m only a server there. Many of my classmates work there too, and nothing of this sort has ever happened to them. Last night, I was set up. I was tricked into that private room. That scumbag surnamed Luo wouldn’t let me leave unless I drank that spiked beverage. There were only two options – either to drink the spiked alcohol or get into that water tank. Surrounded by his guys, I saw no way out, so I jumped into the water tank…”

“Xiaosu, who tricked you into private room 2302?” asked Ye Qilan.

“A woman who has always been at odds with me, named Nana. She used to date Luo. I was just there to deliver alcohol; I didn’t expect she would set me up like this,” Jiang Su revealed the truth.

If it weren’t for Su Hongxing’s timely arrival, she might have already died in that water tank. She knew then that she was trapped and preferred death over being defiled by Luo.

Ye Qilan looked at Age, who apprehended his intent in an instant. Age walked out of the ward to have Nana located and hauled in.

Five minutes later, Ye Qilan left the ward and asked, “So, she couldn’t be found, right?”

Age nodded, “Nana disappeared after nine last night and hasn’t been seen since.”

“This implies that someone is manipulating Nana from behind the scenes.” Ye Qilan lit up a cigarette, exhaling a puff of smoke.

Age could tell that he was upset, not only because he failed to reach Su Hongxing in time last night, but also because of Xiao Ji.

Xiao Ji kept provoking Ye Qilan, reminding him of one thing – that Su Hongxing and Xiao Ji once had a beautiful past together.

Su Hongxing loved Xiao Ji once, but she never loved Ye Qilan. That was the harsh reality that bothered Ye Qilan.
