The pillow skimmed Jiang Li's shoulder and fell onto the floor behind him.
Jiang Li slowly moved his gaze from the page of the book in his hand, glanced at Jiang Yan's angry face, and then settled deeply on the woman on the bed.
So, the woman responsible for Jiang Yan's complete ruin was here.
In the previous life, it was the video of her and Jiang Yan in bed that was sent to the guests' phones at today's banquet, causing the Qiao Family to fully grasp their leverage and subsequently continuously blackmail them, gradually draining the entire Jiang Family.
She had been wondering who had such ability, but now everything seemed to make sense.
At this moment, Qin Xiaoxiao was still in a state of fright, being scrutinized by this mysterious woman, making her already scantily-clad self feel even more ashamed and embarrassed.
She instinctively grabbed the blanket to cover herself, and then her mind began to race.
This woman's aura was so strong, and Jiang Yan's reaction was so intense... Could she be the Miss Qiao who was engaged to Jiang Yan?
Thinking of this, a dark light flashed in Qin Xiaoxiao's eyes, and she directly hid behind Jiang Yan, crying:
"Miss Qiao, please don't misunderstand, Brother Yan and I... we just lost our minds for a moment. I had no intention of ruining your relationship; you have to believe me."
"I know today is your engagement day, and I was persuading Brother Yan, but, but—"
While crying, Qin Xiaoxiao raised her eyelids to observe Jiang Li's reaction.
But not only did the other party show no sign of anger, she continued to look at her with eyes that betrayed no emotional fluctuation.
At this point, Qin Xiaoxiao finally panicked a little.
Could this so-called Miss Qiao be a ruthless character?
But hadn't someone said she was just a brainless paper tiger?
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yan, annoyed, stood up, "What Miss Qiao, she is my sister, Jiang Li!"
Qin Xiaoxiao's eyes widened instantly, "W-What? Miss Jiang? How could it be?"
Just as she finished speaking, Jiang Yan seemed to finally realize something was wrong. His hand paused as he was pulling up his pants, and then he sharply turned on the room's light.
With a "click," the dim room was finally illuminated, and he clearly saw the woman he'd been intimately entangled with.
"Qin Xiaoxiao?! What the hell is it you?!"
By the window, Jiang Li finally closed the book in her hand, her gaze refocused on Jiang Yan.
The genes of the Jiang Family had always been excellent. Jiang Yan combined their parents' advantages beautifully—his physique was impeccable, and his face was as charming as sin.
Thin lips, fair skin, a face like a carved sculpture, and he had a pair of amorous peach blossom eyes that, even without intentionally making any expressions, would cause all young girls to cover their mouths and scream.
In her eyes, at this moment, Jiang Yan, who was bare-chested and hadn't pulled up his pants, was nothing more than a complete scoundrel.
—He had been intimate with a strange woman for so long only to realize she wasn't his beloved.
If this were in Daqi, it would become a family joke and be harshly criticized by historians.
Thus, she did not hide the mocking intent in her eyes, smiling mysteriously as she said,
"What, just sobered up?"
Jiang Yan irritably ran a hand through his hair, turning in circles with a dark expression, then glared fiercely at Qin Xiaoxiao, "We'll settle our score later!"
Then he turned back to glare at Jiang Li, "What are you doing here? This isn't a place you should be, leave now!"
"You want me to go, fine, but you have to come back with me."
Jiang Yan chuckled angrily, "Why should I go back with you after I went through so much trouble to get out?"
"Something's not right..."
He finally noticed something off about his sister, then scrutinized her from head to toe, sarcastically saying,
"Are you really Jiang Li? Where's your pink hair? What about that ugly dress? Could it be... you changed your style to win over that Shang Shaojing?"
In his memory, his sister was always a handful.
She was bad-tempered and unreasonable since she was young.
As she grew older, she became even more rebellious. On top of that, she hung around with a bunch of unsavory people all day, and on top of that, she had a crush on that guy named Shang, pestering him shamelessly, nearly becoming the laughingstock of everyone in their circle.
Jiang Li didn't want to waste more words with him and directly picked up the phone beside her and stood up.
"You don't have to come home, but I can't guarantee what will happen to the video I just recorded on my phone," she said, looking at Jiang Yan, her smile coated with malice. "If I'm not mistaken, you mistook her for that Miss Su, right?"
"If you insist on staying here, then soon Miss Su might see this video on the large screen at the Century Building in downtown, and then—"
"Jiang Li, have you lost your freaking mind?!"
Jiang Yan couldn't believe what he was hearing.
His own sister was planning to play his bed video on the big screen in the city center?!
Even if Su Yinwan didn't see it in the end, his reputation would be ruined across all of Jing City!
But looking at Jiang Li's unnaturally calm expression, it didn't seem like she was bluffing.
Jiang Yan was thoroughly panicked, stepping forward to snatch the phone, but before he could react, his hand was twisted back ninety degrees by the other party.
"Ah—pain, pain, pain, pain!!!" Jiang Yan was on the verge of tears, "Are you trying to murder your own brother?!"
This girl usually had to ask people to help her with even the simplest things, where did she get such strength?!
Jiang Li's fluid actions were purely instinctual.
In Daqi, when she had just learned to walk, her grandfather, the National Guardian General, had put her on horseback, and since then, besides studying at home, she spent most of her time on the training field.
The Marquis Mansion Jiang Family also had an ancestral set of gun skills, which she mastered to perfection, not losing out to any of her brothers.
Facing Jiang Yan, who boasted nothing but strength, she was naturally able to subdue him effortlessly.
Feeling the pressure on his arm not diminishing but increasing, Jiang Yan howled again, "I was wrong, I was wrong, isn't that enough?! Do you really want to dislocate your brother's arm?!"
Only then did Jiang Li snort coldly and release him.
On the side, Qin Xiaoxiao had long been shocked by the transformed Jiang Li and was now further frightened by her ruthless and decisive moves, shrinking into the bed corner, not daring to move an inch.
Jiang Yan was already in such pain; fortunately, she hadn't angered her, or else her arm would definitely have been in danger!
Jiang Yan, his face twisted, struggled to stand up, still catching his breath when he saw Jiang Li brushing past his shoulder on her way out.
He couldn't help but sneer at her retreating figure.
Think you can make me comply? No way!
However, Jiang Li suddenly stopped, her cool voice mingling with the noisy TV, distinctly reaching his ears —
"If you still consider yourself the eldest of the Jiang Family, my brother, then don't just think about running away."
"I would despise you."
