Chapter 1451: Chapter 1451: Verbal Sparring

Even if she stays for a purpose, she shouldn’t promise too quickly; there has to be a confrontation, which suits her temperament.

Jiang Xue burst directly into Jin Hao’s office, making Jin Hao’s face darken while he was working. He was about to scold someone when he saw it was Jiang Xue who had entered. Although his face remained stern, he didn’t utter any reprimanding words.

However, Jin Hao remained silent, but his follower Ah Lin spoke up coldly, "Miss Jiang, barging in like this, where is your upbringing?"

"Upbringing?" Jiang Xue sneered and said, "Isn’t this exactly what you all hoped for?"

"When did we ever hope for this?" Ah Lin’s face became increasingly unsightly, glaring at Jiang Xue. From the beginning, he disliked Jiang Xue, but he had no choice but to endure it because the boss wanted to win Jiang Xue over and then slowly deal with her and torment her. For this, he endured.

But now, Jiang Xue was already in their hands and had been poisoned by their scheme. What was he afraid of? The current Jiang Xue was like a caged bird; she couldn’t escape even if she wanted to.

"Isn’t it so? If you didn’t want me to be like this, why bother scheming against me, injecting me with drugs, making me addicted to them, forcing me to collaborate with you in your dirty deeds?"

As soon as she said this, not only did Ah Lin’s face change again, but Jin Hao’s expression changed too. In a cold voice, he said to Jiang Xue, "Miss Jiang, since you know you are already addicted and can’t live without the drugs, I advise you to be cautious. My patience is limited. Don’t let me lose control and end up killing you. I assume that’s a result you wouldn’t want?"

"You?" Jiang Xue was furious, glaring at Jin Hao. After a while, she finally gave in and compromised, saying, "Fine, count it as my mistake."

"What do you mean by count it as your mistake? It was your mistake all along." Ah Lin coldly snorted as he watched Jiang Xue concede. If it weren’t for the fact that she was still useful, someone like her should be killed immediately to spare the aggravation.

Jiang Xue glanced at Ah Lin indifferently without speaking. However, her gaze made Ah Lin’s scalp tingle, and he swallowed back the words he was about to say, looking somewhat frustrated.

Seeing Ah Lin stop talking, Jiang Xue then looked at Jin Hao and said, "Mr. Jin, I want to go back to the hotel; please send someone to take us back."

"Why, is staying here uncomfortable?"

"Naturally, there’s nothing here compared to a hotel," Jiang Xue replied frankly. This place had only a bed, a chair, and a blanket. Compared to a hotel, it was worlds apart.

"I see. Then I’ll have someone take you back," Jin Hao agreed readily. But this made Jiang Xue secretly wary; Jin Hao was too agreeable, which made her uneasy.

Sure enough, Jin Hao then said, "But, if so, when Miss Jiang’s drug addiction relapses, it won’t be as convenient."

With that, his previous statement became moot. He was clearly telling Jiang Xue that if she returned to the hotel, he wouldn’t care when her addiction flared up.

Jiang Xue’s eyes widened, looking at Jin Hao, appearing conflicted. Jin Hao saw her like this and laughed inwardly. He wanted to see what was more important to Jiang Xue: comfort or drugs.

However, as he saw it, Jiang Xue would definitely stay in the end. After all, when the addiction kicked in, it was simply unbearable.
