85: Correcting the situation
Hearing this, Xia Anqian immediately thanked her, for fear that Jiang Li would take it back.
"Then thank you, Big Sister!"
Jiang Li replied, "You're welcome!"
"Let's eat; we're going to the hot springs tonight!"
"Okay."
For some reason, Jiang Nan hadn't felt the same way about Qianqian over the past few days.
Moreover, she would get angry lately if he didn't buy her luxury goods.
Jiang He and Jiang Yan watched Xia Anqian with eyes full of disdain... At Xiyuan Farmhouse,
When Jiang Li and the others arrived, the person in charge had already received the news and arranged everything.
"Chairman, Villa Number One has been prepared."
"Mm, bring in some fruit in a while, and prepare some fruit wine."
"Certainly, Chairman."
Jiang Li and the others went to change their clothes, and when they came out, they headed to the hot springs.
They were all wearing swimsuits, so they were all soaking together.
Only Xia Anqian hadn't arrived yet.
Jiang Nan sat on the stones surrounding the hot spring, feeling that the person he loved had changed significantly; she was completely different from back in university, drifting further and further away from him.
Jiang Li and Fu Xiangqi, along with Jiang He and Xie Huaian, and Jiang Yan and Mo Jinnan, looked over at the person who seemed hungover.
"Big Sister, will drinking this make one drunk?"
"It will, but isn't this also an opportunity?"
"What opportunity?"
Jiang Li ate a strawberry and said cryptically, "Guess?"
"Big Sister, you're mean, I'm not guessing."
After saying that, Jiang Yan went to find her boyfriend.
Jiang He noticed, "Big Sister, Xia Anqian hasn't come yet? Did something happen?"
"Probably, let's wait and see!"
"Alright!" Jiang He soaked leisurely in the hot spring beside Xie Huaian.
Xie Huaian resigned himself to giving her a massage.
In the water, Fu Xiangqi held Jiang Li's waist and was silently massaging it... Meanwhile, on Xia Anqian's side,
Because she was late changing clothes, she had sent someone else to fetch her swimsuit when she arrived.
After she finished changing, she saw someone and jumped in fright.
But she quickly reacted, "Xia Anmeng, why are you here?"
"Guess. Xia Anqian, that name is truly hilarious; so you've been using your name all through university. How does it feel using my academic credentials? And A Nanβdo you really have the heart to deceive him?"
Hearing this, Xia Anqian said, "Deceive him? Xia Anmeng, I am the Eldest Miss of the Xia Family. Once we went bankrupt, I had nothing. Don't you know it's easy to go from poverty to luxury, but hard to go from luxury to poverty? I just want a good life, what's wrong with that? I've never felt I was wrong, even if you went to university in my place, even if I'm dating the person you like, I don't care. I only know I don't want to live a hard life."
Xia Anmeng replied, "Even if that's what you think, you should tell A Nan the truth. He has the right to know the truth of the matter."
"No, that won't do. If he finds out I'm not you, he will definitely break up with me. Xia Anqian, it's all because of you; as long as you die, no one will threaten my position."
As she spoke, Xia Anqian reached out and grabbed Xia Anmeng's neck, attempting to kill her.
Xia Anmeng was pinned to the ground by Xia Anqian's grip on her throat; she tried to push her away and escape.
But she was malnourished and was no match for Xia Anqian.
After Xia Anqian was kicked away by someone, Xia Anmeng felt she could finally breathe.
She greedily inhaled the fresh air.
Jiang Nan arrived and witnessed this scene.
Now seeing the two of them together, he realized they looked exactly the same.
"Qianqian?"
Jiang Li and the others also heard the noise and came over.
Naturally, they also discovered the choke marks on Xia Anmeng's neck.
They hadn't expected Xia Anqian to be so ruthless.
Before, they only thought she was greedy for money, but now it seemed her heart was twisted.
Jiang Li stepped forward and helped Xia Anmeng up.
"Xia Anmeng, how are you feeling?"
Xia Anmeng said, "I'm fine, thank you, Miss Jiang."
When Jiang Nan heard his big sister call her Xia Anmeng, he wondered who the person on the ground was.
Xia Anqian looked at the person in Jiang Li's arms and immediately struggled to get up.
"Big Sister, I am Xia Anqian, she is the fake one."
Hearing this, Jiang Li replied in a flat tone, "I know she is the 'fake' one; she is Xia Anmeng, not Xia Anqian."
Xia Anqian was stunned, not knowing what to say.
Wait, Big Sister knew who Xia Anmeng was, then... She didn't dare think further, and then she heard Jiang Li continue: "She only used your name to go to school and got the degree certificate for you. She is the Second Miss of the Xia Family and the one my brother loves; you are merely a cuckoo occupying another's nest."
Xia Anqian cried, "No... it's not me... she is, Xia Anmeng is! I am the Eldest Miss of the Xia Family, what I like must be mine!"
Jiang Nan now understood. Xia Anqian... no, Xia Anmeng was the person he had loved in university.
Xia Anqian was just an imposter.
"Xia An... meng, I'm sorry."
Xia Anmeng looked at the man before her who had captured her heart, "It's not your fault, there's no need to apologize."
Xia Anqian shouted, "Why are you apologizing? You are the proud Young Master of the Jiang Family, why are you apologizing?"
Hearing this, Jiang Nan turned to look at her and said, "Xia Anqian, the gap between you and your sister is truly vast."
Xia Anqian sneered, "Of course, I am the Eldest Miss of the Xia Family, not some pheasant from the countryside like her."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Nan stepped forward and directly grabbed Xia Anqian's neck, "Her background is not for you to disparage. If it weren't for Anmeng, you wouldn't even be here, and I will make you spit out everything you've consumed."
Hearing that he wanted money from her, Xia Anqian said, "You, the dignified Young Master of the Jiang Family, actually care about this little money?"
Jiang Nan found this provocation completely useless; he released Xia Anqian's neck, wiped his hands, and then spoke: "I'm sorry, but this tactic doesn't work on me. No matter how little it is, it's what I earned myself; what does it have to do with you?"
Jiang Yan spoke up, "Alright, your hands are all red. Leave the rest to me; I'll make her spit out your money."
"Someone come, take her away and send her to her biological parents. Also, send a lawyer's letter and prepare to sue."
Hearing this, the Jiang Family bodyguards entered and took her away.
Jiang Nan looked at the marks on Xia Anmeng's neck and quickly brought some ointment over, "Um... Anmeng, do you want to apply some medicine? Your neck is already turning purple."
Xia Anmeng said, "I can do it myself," and then took the ointment from Jiang Nan's hand.
Seeing this, Jiang He stepped forward and took it, "Let me do it."
After applying the medicine, she left with Xie Huaian.
Jiang Li and the others had already left long ago.
Only Jiang Nan and Xia Anmeng were left here.
"Anmeng, I'm sorry, I really didn't know."
Xia Anmeng said, "I know, it's not your fault. It's just that I want to go back to Xinqiao Village; I miss Grandma."
Jiang Nan looked at the sad Xia Anmeng, "Okay, I'll accompany you... if that's alright?"
His final words were tinged with caution.
