Chapter 286: Chapter 24: The Disabled Tycoon’s Ex-Wife Refuses to Be a Scapegoat (24)

Jiang Ruantian wasn’t foolish. With one look at Mo Zhoujing’s expression, she instantly guessed what had happened.

Never could she have imagined that someone would dare in front of so many people... Who could it be?

So many people came to the party, half of whom she didn’t recognize, but this was not the time to care about that. She quickly walked over, bent down, and asked the man in front of her softly.

"Mr. Mo, do you need to rest for a while?"

Mo Zhoujing kept a tense face, and his assistant, who usually stayed by his side, oddly disappeared. He gripped the handle of his wheelchair tightly and said hoarsely under everyone’s gaze.

"Take me outside; the car is parked outside."

No matter what, leaving here is the priority.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ruantian promptly pushed Mo Zhoujing out. Meanwhile, Jiang Lai, who had finished a conversation, noticed the oddities over there at a glance.

Around him was Little Buding’s lascivious yet excited voice.

"Here it comes, here it comes, the plot from the bar is finally here!"

Jiang Lai excitedly looked over too, and sure enough, he saw Jiang Ruantian pushing Mo Zhoujing’s wheelchair out.

The romance between the male and female leads hadn’t progressed, and the plot had to intervene itself. Thinking about how these two people met and fell in love over a glass of wine, Jiang Lai glanced around the venue before his eyes settled on the waiter weaving through the crowd with a tray.

"Mo Zhoujing’s arch-enemy, always looking for opportunities to trip him up."

"But this arch-enemy doesn’t seem too smart. Shouldn’t poisoning be the trick to trip someone up? It’s pointless."

Jiang Lai kept his task in mind, followed Jiang Ruantian out, and watched her load Mo Zhoujing into the car. Then she quietly approached, gently tapping Jiang Ruantian on the shoulder just as she was about to get in as well.

"Where are you going? Whose car is this?"

Startled, Jiang Ruantian spun around to see Jiang Lai smiling at her. Instinctively, she blocked the car door to shield Mo Zhoujing inside from view.

"My friend had too much to drink, so I’m taking him back."

"If he’s drunk, let the driver take him back. It’s your birthday; are you really going to abandon a room full of people to take a friend home?"

Jiang Ruantian frowned deeply, both anxious and irritated, a hint of resentment in her gaze at Jiang Lai.

This is such a good chance. She must seize it.

She’s uncertain whether Jiang Lai saw Mo Zhoujing in the car, but with things as they are, Jiang Ruantian could only act as if she hadn’t seen him, focusing on getting Jiang Lai to leave.

"Do you all really see me as the main character of this birthday party? Is this birthday party actually for me, or for pulling in business partners? Jiang Lai, you know better than anyone!"

After speaking, Jiang Ruantian’s face turned cold.

"Feel free to go back and complain to mom and dad."

Saying this, Jiang Ruantian directly bent over and entered the car. Just as the door closed, she heard a hoarse voice from beside her.

"Get out."

Jiang Ruantian hadn’t heard clearly, thinking he needed something and leaned in, asking cautiously.

"Mr. Mo, what’s the matter? Whatever you need now, just tell me."

"I told you to get out; didn’t you understand?"

Now, Jiang Ruantian understood. She sat stiffly beside him, her expression complex and at a loss.

"Mr. Mo, you need someone to look after you now."

"That someone won’t be you. Get out before I lose my temper."

Jiang Ruantian looked at Mo Zhoujing’s cold face. Her heart was a tumult of shame and anger. She had gone to such lengths, but why wouldn’t Mo Zhoujing accept her?

What must she do for this man to notice her?

In the confined car, Jiang Ruantian listened to Mo Zhoujing’s rapid and erratic breathing. She knew this was her best opportunity. No matter what, she must seize it. Even if Mo Zhoujing wouldn’t fall in love with her temporarily, as long as he accepted her, half her effort was accomplished.

Thinking this, her hand clenched tightly, her emotions causing her breathing to quicken as she looked at Mo Zhoujing’s stern, perfect face, then abruptly leaned over to kiss his lips.

Mo Zhoujing didn’t expect Jiang Ruantian would dare to do such a thing. Even as he reached to block, her lips still touched him. The sticky contact felt like thorns on his back, darkening his face with surging anger in his eyes.

Jiang Ruantian was pushed aside, covering her mouth, her eyes filled with tears, beauty mixed with a touch of defiance.

"Why? Can you tell me why? She can be your sister, but I can’t?"

Mo Zhoujing looked at her coldly, the disdain in his gaze almost tangible, deeply wounding Jiang Ruantian.

"Do you compare to her?"

"In what way am I inferior to her? Just because my parents don’t like me? Does that mean I don’t deserve to be liked by others?"

The luxury car’s soundproofing was excellent. Little Buding could hardly hear clearly from outside.

As the car slowly started, Jiang Lai, standing by the door, chuckled with interest.

"How exciting is it inside?"

Little Buding disdained Jiang Lai’s sordid thoughts. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

"Exciting my foot. If you knew whose name Mo Zhoujing is calling, you wouldn’t think it’s exciting."

"Who?"

"Jiang Lai."

"..."

It somehow sounded even more thrilling.

In a moment of confusion, Mo Zhoujing mistook Jiang Ruantian for Jiang Lai, and Jiang Ruantian didn’t correct him. The two inflammable elements rubbed together, and everything happened naturally.

Jiang Lai sighed.

"I should have taken more pictures just now."

However, Little Buding pondered.

"Don’t you think the plot is developing in a weird direction now? The male lead can’t get over Bai Yueguang, the female lead humbly sacrifices, while the male lead indulges in painful ruin... Jiang Lai, what strange plot line did you trigger?"

"Are you saying I’m becoming Bai Yueguang? Fine by me. Does this mean I’ll soon stop being the scapegoat?"

"Dream on. Rarely do you find someone as masochistic and blind as Mo Zhoujing."

The main characters disappeared from the birthday party in the end. Jiang’s mother, worried, asked Jiang Lai, and he pointed to the car outside and said directly.

"I just saw her get into Mo Zhoujing’s car and leave with him."

Sensing this, Jiang’s mother quickly whispered.

"What are you talking about? Why would Ruantian get into Mr. Mo’s car for no reason?"

"Who knows, maybe the two of them are dating."

"Did you really see it?"

"I even took pictures. Here, let me show you."

Saying that, Jiang Lai truly took out his phone and showed Jiang’s mother the entire process of Jiang Ruantian helping Mo Zhoujing into the car. Jiang’s mother’s heart nearly stopped at the sight!

"What is this girl doing? Her fiancé is still inside; how can she, how can she do such a disgraceful thing?"

"Yes, when she comes back, you must punish her properly."

As Jiang’s mother continued to scold, her attention turned to Jiang Lai.
