846: Hard to accept him like that.

Hard to accept him like that.

Not after too long, soon, Jing Wei Jin's eyes spotted a bike stopping in front of his villa. His lips curled to give the faintest smile, knowing well that Li Xue was already there. "You can go now. Once I get in the mood to talk things with you, I will ask you here." He said coldly without even looking back at his brother.  1

"But brother …" Jing Shaoqing tried but a glare from the man was enough to make him give up his stubbornness. Nodding, he turned and left the room. His fists clenched on his sides to suppress the anger he was feeling inside. But even the feeling of anger could not help him at the moment. Nothing was under his control. 

While he was on his way out, he saw a figure appearing with some aggressiveness. His steps halted as he paused to look up at the woman. This was his first time looking at her. Though the first glance was enough to entice him towards her beauty, the fire she held in her eyes was also enough to repel him to the farthest corner. 

Before he could understand what and who of the situation, Li Xue already passed him, walking straight into the room as if she wasn't visiting the place the first time rather has always been there owning the place as her own. 

"Hey, you, stop there!" Jing Shaoqing called from behind when saw the woman making her way inside without any restriction. 

But even at his call, Li Xue didn't bother to stop. Walking all the way in, her steps only took a pause when she stood directly in front of Jing Wei Jin. Her eyes fiercely stared at the man and that gaze of hers only made the man give a welcome smile to her. 

"Oh, you are here already. I must say you have not yet lost your speed on the bike. Impr…" Jing Wei Jin started with his usual tone, but before he could complete, a tug on his arm brought him flat and rough on the floor. That was a surprise pull which he wasn't expecting. So, when it happened it took him off-guard. 

"Woohoo!!! I wasn't expecting that. Is that a new way of greeting you have learned here?"  Jing Wei Jin asked, giving out a chuckle of amusement while getting up. But before he could proper himself in his stand, another tug on his leg brought him sharply back on the floor. 

"How dare you choose such a dirty way to get back on someone. I never knew you were capable of this?" Li Xue snapped, her eyes telling how furious she was at him. 

Jing Wei Jin looked at her like that and just smiled. He simply couldn't get mad at her. To him, everything she did was kind of pleasant to his eyes and fun to play around. "You have even noticed my capabilities? I never knew that. Haha … Anyway, let me know when you permit me to stand back on my feet. I will only make an effort to stand back that time. Otherwise, there doesn't seem any use of trying and failing again and again". 

Jing Shaoqing who has followed Li Xue was taken aback by the scene in front of his eyes. He was about to move forward to help his brother but when caught the look he was holding on his face, he restrained himself before walking out of the room again. Though he had not lived with Jing Wei Jin for a good number of years, still he was the one with whom he had shared his blood. None could know him better than he knows him. 

"Jing Wei Jin, don't play innocent here. Tell me what is happening between you and Shufen?" Not wanting to prolong the answer, Li Xe jumped straight to the topic. 

The curl on the lips of the man changed along with his expressions as in the next moment, he stood up, dusting off his clothes lightly. "What could be happening between me and him? Definitely, it's you. Apart from you, there is nothing else that connects us?" 

"You still have the righteousness to lie like that?" 

Jing Wei Jin's eyes paused as after a second, he raised his brows to ask, "What did I do to not be righteous? I didn't rob a bank or kill an innocent. Even if I do that, won't that be still coming under my profession? I don't think that in any way it could harm my right to be righteous." 

"Jing Wei Jin !!"

"Between me and that man, you don't have to speak up. Otherwise, I will get jealous seeing you ignoring me and siding with him." He said, pouting playfully before turning his back at her and walking up to the corner where drinks were stocked up. "By the way, I got some good collections with less alcohol content here. Do you want to try it?" 

Jing Wei Jin asked. Though he has asked Li Xue about it, he didn't wait for her reply to come and was already getting two goblets ready. 

Seeing his playful attitude, Li Xue rolled her eyes before folding her arms over her chest. "Who is Jing Shaoqing? Is he the same younger brother you have always talked about?" She asked, impatience clear in her words. 

The man chuckled at the front but something in his chuckle didn't feel the same as before. Li Xue could not see his expression but she could say his expression had changed. 

"Asking about my brother? Are you planning to poach him into your industry as well? Haha … though he could be deemed fit, still you will earn more profits if you take me as your option. My charms are better than his." After not too long, Jing Wei Jin punned turning on his heels with a smirk. 

Though he has not explained the identity of his brother, Li Xue could already say her thoughts regarding it were not wrong. Her first tightened on her sides as her eyes glared at the man before throwing another question, "Five years back, were you also involved in the accident of Shufen? Were you also working to harm his life?" 

The smile remained on his lips, but his calm demeanor cracked. Though the evidence was faint, Li Xue could see him through. 

"Why?" She asked and this time she waited to hear him say his reasons. Though she doesn't want to sound desperate, still inside it was hard to accept him like that. She was dying to know the reason so that she could hate him less. She hoped that in the end, she didn't lose a friend that had been with her at the time when she needed the support the most.
