Chapter 804: Jiang Ying’s Shameless Explanation
If Feng Tianlan was correct, Shen Yunya must have ordered Jiang Ying to come there.
Mei’er looked at her with doubt and then turned around and headed downstairs. After a short while, Jiang Ying was brought upstairs.
Jiang Ying stood by the staircase as he looked at Feng Tianlan, who was standing up straight in front of the windows. When the wind blew, her hair was slightly lifted up by the breeze, exposing her handsome side profile. He couldn’t relate what he saw to the Shen Qingdai he had known in the past.
After staring at her for a while, Jiang Ying stepped forward and spoke in a gentle and shy manner. “Dai’er.”
After hearing his voice, Feng Tianlan chuckled as she turned around and looked at Jiang Ying. “Shen Yunya told you?” she asked.
Jiang Ying hadn’t been there on Shen Yunya’s wedding day. Therefore, he definitely wouldn’t know that she was Dai’er. However, since he knew, she was afraid that Shen Yunya was using him to deal with her.
However, she didn’t know that Shen Yunya hadn’t told him that she was actually Feng Tianlan.
“She said that you have returned.” Jiang Ying felt quite uncomfortable when he looked at Feng Tianlan’s smile. That smile was so strange. She was completely different from the person he once knew.
Feng Tianlan replied with a long “oh.” She then raised her eyebrows and looked at him, saying, “Then?”
Jiang Ying frowned when he heard her sharp voice filled with sarcasm. He didn’t know what to say. Ya’er had only told him that Shen Qingdai had returned and asked him to go over there and take a look. She wanted him to think of a way to coax Dai’er back into loving him. Otherwise, with the Demon King supporting her, their lives would be very difficult.
When Feng Tianlan saw Jiang Ying frowning, she could read his thoughts. She just found him hilarious. “Why? Are you suddenly unable to say the sweet things that you had prepared on your way here?” she asked.
Jiang Ying thought for a while. He then finally raised his head and looked at her with guilt. “Dai’er, I am sorry for what I did before. I was forced to do so.”
“How were you forced? Did I force you to like Shen Yunya? Or did I force you to peel the skin off my face and dig out my kneecaps while I was alive?” Feng Tianlan raised her head and stared at him coldly as she said these words of wisdom.
He was so cruel to the person that had been his childhood friend for ten years. Yet he was trying to tell her that he was forced to do so?
Did he forget how he had smiled gently while doing those inhumane things to her?
Jiang Ying told her the excuse that Shen Yunya had asked him to give. He then said in a regretful and affectionate tone, “Dai’er, I really had no choice. Ya’er was the one who poisoned you. She told me that she would only give me the antidote and let you go if I were to do what I did to you. I did everything just to save you.”
“Ha!” Feng Tianlan couldn’t help but laugh when she heard what Jiang Ying said. “Don’t you think what you said is hilarious?” she asked.
He had peeled the skin off her face and dug out her kneecaps to save her. Besides, when she passed out from the pain, he forced her awake to make her feel pain to the extent where she wished for her own death. It was too hilarious of him to actually say those words out loud.
Jiang Ying knew that she wouldn’t believe him. Hence, he added on anxiously, “What I said is true. Ever since spring, your health hadn’t been great. When you went missing, Ya’er looked for me and told me that she had poisoned you. She would only give me the antidote and let you go if I were to follow what she said.”
Feng Tianlan crossed her arms as she leaned against the window. When she saw Jiang Ying, who was trying his best at acting, she suddenly became calm as she asked, “What else?”
When Jiang Ying saw her easing up, he said with strong affection, “At first I couldn’t do it. However, when I thought about how you would disappear from this world and how I would lose you from my life if you were to die, I went crazy. I would rather have you hate me than see you die. Therefore, I agreed to Ya’er’s request.”
