Chapter 489: Has She Been Morally Kidnapped?

Chapter 489: Chapter 489: Has She Been Morally Kidnapped?

"Yeah," Nina nodded, "I thought you looked pretty imposing, must be the team leader, right?"

At this moment, Shang Shuyue’s mood was at its peak, starting to curse why Jiang Li wasn’t by her side, otherwise she would have enjoyed watching her awkward and embarrassed expression.

Then, in a rare display of shy coyness, Shang Shuyue covered her mouth and said, "Thank you for the compliment, but I—"

Before she could finish, someone had pressed down on her shoulder.

Feeling the familiar warmth, Shang Shuyue instinctively stiffened.

After that, a familiar and magnetic voice sounded above her head.

"Who are you talking to... what the fuck, where did these two savages come from?!"

Nina’s mouth twitched fiercely, and Guan Xiong couldn’t keep up his facade either.

He knew he shouldn’t have come here!

He would rather take off his watch right now and forfeit than be subjected to such humiliation again.

But no matter how he signaled to Nina, she remained indifferent.

Upon noticing Jiang Yan’s presence, a deeper shade took over Nina’s eyes.

Now there was no mistaking it; this was indeed Jiang Li’s territory.

Thinking this, she deliberately tossed her hair behind her ear, revealing her most prideful jawline, and then looked pitifully at Jiang Yan.

"Young Master Jiang, you’re here too, that’s great, I—"

As she spoke, she prepared to move closer to Jiang Yan’s side.

Men always fell for the damsel-in-distress act.

Besides, who in the Capital didn’t know that Eldest Young Master Jiang was a playboy? Although he changed women as easily as changing clothes, he was always attentive and caring to every woman he had a fling with.

Surely he wouldn’t bear to see her in such a state.

But Nina miscalculated.

Jiang Yan did indeed cherish women, but only the good-looking ones. Nina, dirty and smelly as she was, made him fear for the depreciation of his own looks. He couldn’t wait to stay away, let alone touch her.

So, he immediately pressed down on Shang Shuyue’s shoulder, using her as a shield and pushing her out front.

And as soon as Nina started tossing her hair, alarm bells went off in Shang Shuyue’s head.

In high school, she had secretly witnessed countless girls flirting with Jiang Yan just like that, and the next second sending him amorous glances.

Sure enough, this Nina was no exception.

Her biggest flaw was being petty and narrow-minded; she wouldn’t easily give up things she desired to anyone else. The reason she didn’t get along with Jiang Li was because she saw her getting close to Jiang Yan, and later, after finding out she was Jiang Yan’s own sister, she had tried to make amends only to be completely snubbed, leading to an outright conflict between them.

Jiang Li might have had the credentials to be her arch-nemesis, but what right did this crazy woman have? freewёbnoνel.com

So, taking advantage of the moment when Jiang Yan pushed her forward, Shang Shuyue stepped hard on Nina’s shoe.

Nina immediately screamed in pain, and already exhausted, was knocked over by Shang Shuyue, falling heavily to the ground.

"Why, why did you push me?"

She looked at Shang Shuyue with a pitiful face, but Shang Shuyue was the last person to fall for the damsel act.

After all, the little dames that flocked around Jiang Yan in high school had irked her enough.

"When did I push you? Clearly you couldn’t stand properly. Don’t blame everything on me; are you missing eyes as well as legs? Calling anyone team leader and blindly trying to brown-nose!"

After saying this, she turned around with a cold face and left.

[?? Hold on, Shang Shuyue’s temper is really terrible, how can she speak like that to someone?]

[Some people’s brains must be stuck in a net, it was clearly Nina who came looking for trouble.]

"Hahaha, that felt great, Sister Yue dealt with it beautifully. I’ve been annoyed with Nina for a while now!"

"Ugh, trying to play the sympathy card in front of Young Master Jiang like this is just too low, she can’t seriously think she’s that pretty, can she?"

Guan Xiong couldn’t stand it anymore and helped Nina up, intending to take her away.

However, Nina wasn’t willing to give up just yet; she broke free from him and ran towards the cave.

"We’re truly at our wits’ end here, we all used to be on the same team. Couldn’t you at least spare us some leftovers?"

Nina was on the verge of tears. This display also garnered a bit of sympathy from the internet audience.

Just a few days ago, she was a high-flying supermodel, and now she’d fallen to the state of running to others and begging for shelter.

It was quite pitiable indeed.

Seeing the sympathetic comments for Nina in the live chat, Zheng Xun, sitting in the director’s booth, curved his lips into a smirk.

He hadn’t expected this little model to actually have some tricks up her sleeve. If she really succeeded, then supporting her in the future wouldn’t be a problem.

Jiang Li in the cave had heard the commotion long ago.

She hadn’t shown herself earlier because she thought Nina would leave soon after being rejected, but to her surprise, Nina was being so persistent.

It seemed someone had promised her something.

Closing her book, Jiang Li patted off her clothes and stepped out to reveal herself.

"Who’s making all this noise in the middle of the day? It’s so annoying."

Her voice was cool and detached. The moment Nina saw her, she froze.

After more than a week of not seeing her, Jiang Li not only did not look a bit haggard, but she appeared healthy and radiant, her skin seemingly much better than when she first arrived on the island. It was clear she wasn’t lacking food or drink.

On the other hand, Nina almost ground her teeth in envy.

She had assumed they’d be living in a dark, cold cave, but it turned out to be like heaven inside!

Not only was there proper bedding, but there was also furniture aplenty, and even kerosene lamps on the walls casting a warm glow, making the surrounding area cozy. Even wildflowers were being kept alive in water on a nearby table.

By comparison, she was nothing but a beggar!

Why should that be?

Nina felt even more indignant, and the thought of staying became even stronger.

She clasped her hands together and pleaded in a sincere manner, "Jiang Li, I know there may have been some misunderstandings between us before, but for the sake of us once being teammates, can you take us in, give us something to eat? Don’t worry, we’ll listen to you and help with work, even leftovers will do. Look at how many supplies you have now; you surely won’t miss food for just the two of us..."

Jiang Li’s eyebrows lifted slightly, and her eyes became even more indifferent.

Trying to guilt-trip her?

Sorry, she wasn’t buying any of that.

Instead of responding directly, Jiang Li just smiled, "Actually, it’s good that you’ve come, because there’s been something I’ve been wanting to ask you."

Now it was Nina who was completely baffled.

Jiang Li turned and walked inside, then rummaged through a box and threw something dark and bulky in front of them.

"Recognize this?"

At the sight of the object, Nina felt as if she had fallen into an ice pit, and then subconsciously tried to block Guan Xiong’s line of sight.

"This, this is just trash, isn’t it? Jiang Li, why are you showing us trash?"

Guan Xiong sensed something was off and pushed Nina aside. When he saw the logo on the black bag, his brows furrowed deeply.

"Isn’t this the supply pack that was stolen from us before?"

His face went cold as he spoke, "So, it was you who took it?"
