Ya Garden, as the name suggests, is a place for elegant leisure and frequented by socialites for business and social gatherings.

Ming Jing was led by the waiter to a private room on the second floor. Each private room was separate, with a corridor on one side and the lake view on the other two sides, offering excellent privacy.

As Ming Jing entered the room, Gu Qingshan immediately stood up.

“Ms. Zhu, please take your seat.” Gu Qingshan immediately stood up and spoke enthusiastically.

Ming Jing raised an eyebrow as she caught the faint scent wafting through the air.

Ming Jing sat down, “Mr. Gu, please don’t stand on ceremony, sit down.”

“Ms. Zhu, I know you don’t drink alcohol, this is top-grade Biluochun Tea.” Gu Qingshan held up a cup of clear tea in front of Ming Jing.

“My cousin’s wife has caused you quite a bit of trouble, and she knows she is in the wrong. She has already turned herself in at the police station. I am offering this tea instead of wine to apologize on her behalf. Please grant me this favor.” Gu Qingshan held the tiny wine cup, speaking sincerely.

Ming Jing glanced at the clear tea in the cup and smiled.

Ming Jing flicked her sleeve, spun around, and took a step back. Her gentle expression instantly turned cold, “Mr. Gu, what do you think you’re doing?”

With her cold face, the girl had an even more charming aura of ice and snow. Gu Qingshan stood up and sneered, “Ms. Zhu, I suggest you just comply with me, otherwise...hmm.”

Ming Jing glanced at the tea cup, “Did you drug me?”

“Unfortunately, it’s too late for you to find out now. If you understand the situation and comply, I will treat you well. If not, I’m sorry...”

“My elder brother is Shen Zhou, aren’t you afraid he won’t let you off the hook?” Ming Jing shouted coldly. Then she suddenly clutched her chest and swayed.

Gu Qingshan saw this and thought that the drug had taken effect. He smirked even more smugly, “Shen Zhou? What does he count for? It’s not his turn to settle accounts with me yet. Do you think I don’t know about his dealings with Shen Changjian? They’ve been discussing how to get rid of me. If I threaten him with you, his adopted sister, I wonder how much he values you? Would he exchange all his wealth for you? Why don’t we give it a try? Hahaha.”

“I, Gu Qingshan, have never been an upright gentleman. If you know where you stand, I won’t mistreat you. Otherwise, hmm...”

Gu Qingshan finished speaking, cracked his fingers, and walked toward Ming Jing.

“Ms. Zhu, do you know how hard it has been for me to think about you? The first time I saw you, I was amazed by your beauty. You were so enchanting and pure that even thinking about you in my heart felt like blasphemy. I have endured it for so long, and now you have become Shen Zhou’s sister, and we are adversaries. If it weren’t for this incident, I would not have had the courage to take this step. But now, even if I die under the peony flower, I shall be a happy ghost...”

He couldn’t restrain himself any longer and lunged toward her.

Ming Jing spun around, her back against the wall, panting, “Alright, since you’re so persistent, I have one last question for you. Was it you who sabotaged Zhou Ling in the first place?”
