937 A Million Times for You 299 (1/2)
She lay in bed and aired her grievances to her best friend, who then said that Yan Ge probably doesn't actually fancy her and had merely agreed to the arranged marriage since they were both compatible with each other in terms of background and status.
However, Xin Min was extremely frustrated and continued to lament and grouse to her best friend until she dozed off.
Meanwhile, An Xiaoning was just waiting for her to fall asleep. Since she could not get the key card to Xin Min's room from the lobby, the only way An Xiaoning could enter her room was to climb in from the window.
For safety reasons, she asked Jin Qingyan to send a professional technician to her aid, so as to help attach her to the safety harness of a suspension cable and move her in mid-air to Xin Min's balcony.
Although the door of the balcony was locked from the inside, it was no issue for An Xiaoning.
She opened it effortlessly.
Xin Min was sound asleep at the time and had no idea that someone had entered her room.
She only realized what happened when An Xiaoning called her into Fang Erlan's room the next day and showed her a video of herself being hypnotized.
Frightened out of her senses, Xin Min asked, ”How… how did you get inside my room?”
”There are many ways to do that. I called you here privately entirely because I want to save Yan Ge from the embarrassment.”
”You're committing a crime!”
An Xiaoning retorted coldly, ”And you are not? You sneaked into Erlan's room and put a snake on her bed. You then maliciously broke the suspension cables she was attached to. You repeatedly plotted a scheme and stirred so much trouble. I'd like to ask you a question, Ms. Xin. Do you think your life and future will still be bright if I hand you over to the police?”
Xin Min's legs turned to jelly as she was overwhelmed with fear and panic. She knelt on the ground immediately and pleaded, ”Please spare me this once, I wouldn't dare to do it again.”
”Oh? You're surrendering so soon?”
”I really won't do it again. It was Fang Erlan who held herself cheap first. She was asking for it and I was merely teaching her lesson!”
”How was she asking for it? A penny for your thoughts?”
”I don't know about the rest, but Fang Erlan pretended to have met with a crook and used that as an excuse to spend a night in Yan Ge's room. Later on, she even added the kiss scene on her own and gave Yan Ge massages while trying to seduce him. That's why I wanted to teach her a lesson!”
Fang Erlan turned as pale as a sheet and she snapped angrily, ”Who said I was pretending? I really did meet with a crook and barged inside Yan Ge's room by accident back then. The surveillance camera footages are evidence that can vouch for me. I only started giving Yan Ge massages as a form of compensation, precisely because of that incident. After all, he could be considered to be my savior for that night. As for the kiss scene, who told you about that?”
”I heard it from the screenwriter who warned me against you!”
Noticing that Fang Erlan was about to retort, An Xiaoning stopped her and interjected, ”The screenwriter said it? Sure, I'll get him here to question him about it. How does that sound?”
”You're the investor, he's definitely going to be biased toward you,” Xin Min said in disgruntlement.
”It's wrong to put words into others' mouths.” Not wanting rumors about Fang Erlan forcing a kiss onto Yan Ge to spread, An Xiaoning said too Mei Yangyang, ”Yangyang, call Jing Tian and get the two screenwriters to come here.”
”Okay.”
Upon the sight of Mei Yangyang leaving the room, Xin Min said straight away, ”You don't have to call the screenwriters here. Just tell me how you're planning to deal with me. I'll let you do whatever you want with me, so long as you don't hand me over to the police.”
”That won't do. I must find out which screenwriter is the one who sparked false rumors and sowed seeds of discord between you and Erlan, causing such a misunderstanding. I must get them to explain themselves clearly.”
