Chapter 289 - Revenge
Chapter 289: Revenge
Xu Mingjing took a deep breath and said to her driver, “Go take a look.”
“But…” The driver didn’t dare to.
But Xu Mingjing, who normally had a soft personality, was now decisive and cold. She ordered him, “Go and ask them what they want.
“Don’t think you are safe staying in the car. If they actually want to do something, then after they smash the car, you won’t be able to escape anyway. But up to now, they haven’t gotten out of their cars, so maybe they just want to keep us here, and they have no other motive.” Xu Mingjing analyzed the situation, her voice cold and calm.
“So, I am telling you. Go down and ask them what they want. You probably won’t get hurt. Just go and ask what they want,” Xu Mingjing ordered him.
The driver thought to himself, If what she’s saying was true, then why didn’t she go herself?
“So you won’t go?” Xu Mingjing asked coldly.
The driver thought to himself, maybe he should quit this job since his life was more important than this job anyway.
“Then you’d better have thought it through,” Xu Mingjing said. “If you don’t do as I say, you are fired. Try running away yourself now, and see if they will run away. They may even think you’ve run to call the police.”
“If they just want to keep me here for a little bit, then, after they leave, Keqing will have missed her examination and it won’t be necessary to go to the testing hall anymore. You will be fired immediately!” Xu Mingjing analyzed the situation with a cold head.
The driver didn’t dare run away right now.
If he didn’t do as Xu Mingjing said, he would lose his job.
In case those men want to do them harm, he wouldn’t be able to run anyway.
After hearing all this, the driver opened the door reluctantly and got out of the car.
One of the attackers’ cars was very close to the Yuan family’s car. It was just a body length that separated the two cars, so it wasn’t a long walk.
The driver’s forehead, the palms of his hands, and his back were sweating profusely.
The driver raised his shaking hands and knocked lightly on the car’s window.
He was afraid of knocking too hard; he didn’t want them to think that he was being aggressive.
The driver’s mouth was dry with anxiety, so he licked his lips and swallowed nervously. After knocking about four times, he waited with trepidation for a reaction to come from within the car.
He was afraid that the people inside would suddenly jump out and beat him up. The driver kept his hand on his car’s door nervously, getting ready to get back inside at any moment.
While he was waiting nervously, there was no reaction from the car, but from way at the front of the line of cars, a man walked down.
If Tan Mo or Tan Jinqi had been here, they would have recognized him immediately.
It was Zhou Jingan!
No one would have thought that Xu Mingjing was important enough for him to come himself.
That meant that Wei Zhiqian took this issue very seriously.
Zhou Jingan walked to the front of the Yuan family’s car with a small smile on his face.
He was an elegant man and seemed like an important person. From the way he looked and dressed, he didn’t look like a bad person at all.
“Who…who are you? Why are you surrounding us here? What do you all want?” the driver stammered, getting more nervous by the second.
“Nothing much, we just want Miss Yuan to miss her first examination.” Zhou Jingan raised his wrist to look at his watch. “Well, not really to miss it. To be more exact, we want her to be half an hour late.”
Because the door was open, Yuan Keqing and Xu Mingjing both heard what Zhou Jingan had said.
Xu Mingjing saw that they had no intention of harming them, so she opened the door and got out.
Yuan Keqing also got out of the car and stood next to Xu Mingjing.
She wasn’t feeling particularly brave, and she only dared to stand right next to her mom. She actually hid behind her mom, holding onto her arms with both hands and peering out fearfully from behind her, looking at the man before them nervously.
Maybe because of Zhou Jingan’s good looks and his air of composure, Yuan Keqing didn’t feel as scared as before.
“Why?” Xu Mingjing knew now that they had no intentions of hurting them. They just wanted to delay Yuan Keqing’s examination.
However, if they were later than 15 minutes, she wouldn’t be able to enter the testing hall at all.
If they were delayed for half an hour, she would miss the entire test.
“We have never met before, right? We have never wronged you, so why do you want my daughter to be unable to take her exam?” Xu Mingjing paused for a moment and then asked, “Who sent you here?”
She just couldn’t think of anyone who she had offended, for them do do such a low-handed thing.
They wanted Yuan Keqing to miss one of her exams. What a horrible thing to do!
Zhou Jingan wasn’t under any obligation to keep his motive a secret. Wei Zhiqian had told him that he should let this mother-daughter pair know what they had done wrong and what they must do to amend their mistake.
Whatever they had schemed against Tan Mo, they were going to suffer it themselves.
In this way, Yuan Keqing wouldn’t dare to scheme against Tan Mo again.
According to what Wei Zhiqian said, it was fair to make them suffer the same circumstances that they made Tan Mo suffer.
Yuan Keqing had purposely affected Tan Mo’s mind when she was taking the exam, and Tan Mo had turned in her exam earlier than she should have.
Afterward, Yuan Keqing wouldn’t admit what she had done, and Xu Mingjing wouldn’t admit it either. Not only that, Xu Mingjing had also argued that Yuan Keqing would never do such a thing.
This mother-daughter pair was distasteful to the last degree.
Since that time, Wei Zhiqian had decided that he was going to devise a plan to get back at them for Tan Mo.
He had just been waiting for today.
He had held in his desire for revenge for way too long, so today was a great relief for him.
He’d even said with some anger that Yuan Keqing must have been an idiot, because she didn’t skip any grades so that she could take the exams earlier.
And Tan Mo was the only who didn’t know that Wei Zhiqian had been preparing for this revenge all along. He was going to play a low-handed trick on her just like she had to Tan Mo.
Wei Zhiqian’s actions matched what Tan Mo had said once to her three brothers:
Revenge if you can.
Revenge is never late.
Revenge in whatever way you can.
This move was definitely a fabulous revenge.
“Why must it be half an hour? Why must you ruin my daughter’s examination?” Xu Mingjing asked as she shivered with anger. “Do you plan on doing this for all her exams or just for this one? Do you plan on doing this every year or only this year?”
Even though she was excessively angry, she forced herself to calm down and to try to understand the problem thoroughly.
Zhou Jingan raised his eyebrows. It seemed as if Xu Mingjing wasn’t an ordinary person. She had a clear mind even in these dire circumstances.
He was surprised that she could ask these questions calmly in such an environment.
This wasn’t how she normally acted.
Zhou Jingan answered her slowly, “Mrs. Yuan, think for yourself about what your daughter has done. You are a smart woman, so you can probably figure it out.”
He wasn’t in a hurry. There was almost a half hour to kill, so he would chat with them if they liked.
Xu Mingjing frowned and looked at Yuan Keqing. Did Yuan Keqing offend someone at school?
Yuan Keqing shook her head quickly.
She didn’t.
“Did you get on anyone’s wrong side at school?” Xu Mingjing asked quietly.
“No, I really didn’t! How would I dare to? Even if they laugh at me, I have to hold it in.” Yuan Keqing pouted, feeling sorry for herself.
