Chapter 143 - As expected

The next day, Wan Jia went shopping with Lin Lihua.

Lin Lihua was going to buy a gown for Qing Tai media's anniversary. She dragged Wan Jia along to help her chose the best gown, as well as to congratulate her on winning the case.

After they looked around for a long time, Wan Jia finally spotted a beautiful gown.

"Sis Lihua, you are bold and elegant, I am sure this red gown would suit you best. Its design looks good and the color is bright." Most importantly, it would compliment her beautiful skin perfectly.

Lin Lihua's closet was mostly full of black or equally dull colors, perhaps she had never worn anything red since she started her acting career.

Since Wan Jia said it would look nice, however, she didn't give it a second thought and bought it. Trying new things never killed anyone anyway.

"Sis Lihua, I made a promise to go for dinner with Yun Xuan." she said after the attire was chosen.

"What a bummer, I wanted to cook for my beautiful Little Wan." Lin Lihua said. Serves her right for not speaking up in advance. Not only was she going to cook for Wan Jia, she was also planning to call Xia Rou over.

"Sorry Sis Lihua, I'll let you cook for me the next time. We can cook together." Wan Jia smiled.

Lin Lihua secretly glanced at her delicate hands. Those little hands can cook? She would really like to see them in action. The last time she tried to teach her to bake, the result was tragic...

...

After parting with Lin Lihua and promising to go over to her apartment soon, Wan Jia made her way to The Best restaurant.

She texted Yun Xuan [I'm already at The Best. Where are you?]

Yun Xuan arrived in less than a minute. "Right on time!" she exclaimed and hugged her friend.

"Wanwan, I'm sorry I didn't come to show my support yesterday. My studio is quite busy, you know, with the Jade Fashion Week coming up and all that."

"Oh, I understand."

"You're not participating?" she asked.

"No. I don't belong to any company yet." That, and the fact that she was not even qualified. After all, she had only amazed the world with one competition and gone all silent after that. Most importantly, her forte was clothes and not jewelery. The Jade fashion week was mainly focused on jade jewelery.

They chatted for a while before Yun Xuan asked the question she was most concerned about. "Who would want to frame you so badly? I heard that man was arrested yesterday but this morning he bit his tongue and chocked to death."

"Hmmh!" Wan Jia had been busy picking out an outfit with Lin Lihua and had not heard this news.

"Wanwan, don't you think it's a coincidence, you were clearly accused of what he did but then just as soon as he is arrested, he dies even before the day of his court hearing is set."

Wan Jia sipped on her freshly squeezed orange juice and didn't say anything about it. It was just as she and Lu Aotian had predicted the night before. In fear that the man would tell on them, the other side were definitely going to find a way to kill him.

She had expected it. It just happened sooner than she thought. Sighing, she really pitied Yun Xuan in her heart.

My dear innocent Xuan, I'm afraid that man did not bite his tongue. I'm sure it was cut off. As for who was the mastermind, did she need to think aloud?

"Wanwan, are you even listening?" Yun Xuan nudged her. "Just who did you offend?"

Wan Jia absentmindedly spoke. "Who did I offend? Could it be anyone else?"

"Are you saying my dad did this?" Yun Xuan widened her blue eyes.

Wan Jia looked aside. "Not your father, your brother."

Yun Xuan's heart trembled. "Which brother?"

"Yun Jifeng."

"Haha!" Yun Xuan laughed. "Wanwan, you're taking freshly squeezed orange juice, not wine. Are you drunk from that?"

Wan Jia remained silent.

"You're joking, right?"

Wan Jia sneered sarcastically. "Yes, I'm joking. It's quite funny, isn't it?"

Yun Xuan did not understand. "Why would Old Two do that?"

"To use the hands of the law to kill me. Since I didn't die in the explosion, he wanted to get me to take the blame and die for that. He would have covered his tracks and used someone else to get rid of me, killing two birds with one stone."

"And what makes you very sure that it is Old Two and not anyone else?" she asked.

Wan Jia looked cold. "He's the one who made me go to that place. He came up with this weird story about meeting my biological mother...now that I think about it, that story had too many loopholes. And when I went, that incident happened It must have been his set up."

"That's scary.." Yun Xuan mumbled. Was that really her brother that Wan Jia was talking about? Then she remembered Lu Aotian's email that her father had shown her. She raised an eyebrow and asked,"If I'm correct, You and Old Two are not close. When did he tell you that so called story?"

"On the day of your engagement dinner, he followed me out."

Yun Xuan thought about it even harder. On that night, Yun Jifeng was on her left and Tyler on her right. How come she didn't remember seeing Yun Jifeng follow Wan Jia?
