My Bloodthirty Husband Is So Gentle

Chapter 54: Pranking Liu Xu

Liu Xu lay on the soft chair with one pant leg rolled up. Her knees were covered with bruises, and her face was quite pale.

“I didn’t push her!” she said, denying the accusation.

“You didn’t push her?” Liu Ling snorted. “Heh! So she fell off the stage by herself?”

“That’s exactly what happened!” Liu Xu bit her bottom lip. Her eyes were red with indignance. “Sister Liu, I really wasn’t the culprit this time. I didn’t push her. She was the one who pushed me first.”

Jiang Jiusheng pushed her down before jumping off the stage herself? What does Jiang Jiusheng lack? Why would she need to use such despicable methods to humiliate herself?

“Do you really believe that yourself?” Liu Ling retorted.

Liu Xu gritted her teeth. The fury in her eyes was impossible to subdue. Her eyes were still brimming with resentment.

“Don’t respond at all,” Liu Ling said. “No matter what you say right now, it will be wrong.”

“Understood,” said Liu Xu.

After lecturing Liu Xu, Liu Ling went to the lounge where Jiang Jiusheng was resting. Liu Ling personally visited her in the name of Qin Group Entertainment.

Mo Bing put on a cold face and tilted her chin as she said, “My celebrity is severely injured. It’s not convenient for her to receive any guests right now.”

With that, Mo Bing slammed the door shut.

Liu Ling was at a loss and could only return, fruitless.

Jiang Jiusheng, who was supposedly too severely injured to receive visitors, was presently drinking yogurt with Bomei nuzzled in her embrace. Bomei wanted to drink it too, but Jiang Jiusheng refused. Instead, she gave the dog some skim milk.

Su Qing stared at her legs. “Are you sure you’re fine?”

“Yes.” Jiang Jiusheng squatted with a milk bottle in her right hand and combed through Bomei’s fur with her left despite the fact that the arm was still in a plaster cast. Her legs seemed quite normal.

Su Qing was puzzled. She squatted down beside Jiang Bomei and gazed at Jiang Jiusheng. “Tell me what happened. Was I just seeing things?”

Jiang Jiusheng lifted her gaze calmly. “What did you see?”

Su Qing replied honestly. “I saw you give Liu Xu a shove.”

The incident had occurred just after Su Qing had gotten off the game stage. From her angle, Su Qing had seen Jiang Jiusheng’s left hand push Liu Xu’s belly from an angle hidden from the cameras and everyone else’s line of vision.

Mo Bing had, after all, mentioned that Jiang Jiusheng’s arm was almost fully recovered and she could exert force with it.

Jiang Jiusheng replied, “You weren’t seeing things.” Her tone sounded as if she was completely unaffected.

Su Qing opened her mouth so wide that her jaw seemed like it might fall off.

So, Jiang Jiusheng is the one who staged the entire accident!

“Did the cameras catch it?” asked Mo Bing. This was her greatest concern. If so, they would have to destroy all evidence immediately!

Jiang Jiusheng calmly shook her head. “Su Qing was standing in a blind spot. The cameras didn’t catch it.”

This put Mo Bing at ease.

Su Qing still found it hard to believe.

Jiang Jiusheng is one of the most upright people in the entertainment circle, yet she has learned to enact such devious schemes… Could she have learned these bad things from me?

“Are you out to get Liu Xu?”

Jiang Jiusheng rose. She turned toward the dustbin and tossed her empty yogurt packet into it. The corners of her lips curled.

“I’m very good at controlling my strength,” she said. “I won’t hurt her veins or bones—only her flesh will suffer. Don’t worry. She won’t die.”

That stage wasn’t all that high. Falling from it would, indeed, only cause superficial injuries. However, Liu Xu was still preparing for her new song. There were many negative comments about her online, and she was presently in the throes of a struggle. What Jiang Jiusheng had just done would make her look bad.

“Did she provoke you again?” Su Qing guessed.

Jiang Jiusheng was never one to make things difficult for no reason; it wasn’t her style to launch such an attack.

Jiang Jiusheng hummed in response. “She had already found the right angle and had just managed to avoid the cameras. If I hadn’t pushed her, she would have faked her own fall.”

So, it was Liu Xu who had been trying to gain an advantage—only to end up in a worse position.

To fake a fall before slinging mud on Liu Xu. This scheme was truly brilliant.

Su Qing gave Jiang Jiusheng a thumbs-up. “In that case, your shove was a good one! Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been able to act so realistically.”

To fall down herself, after shoving Liu Xu—Jiang Jiusheng was a born schemer. She hadn’t lost out to Liu Xu whatsoever!

Su Qing glanced at Jiang Jiusheng again. “Your fall was very real, but you didn’t really get injured, right?”
