Jiang Baige knew that she had said something wrong, but since Jingchai had already noticed it, it was a good idea to just make the best of it.

So I asked back: "Senior, what do you think I should know?"

Jingchai suddenly realized that she had been exposed - perhaps the "relationship" that Jiang Baige was talking about was that she was his doctoral student.

But then she thought again, no, the relationship Jiang Baige was talking about was definitely not a teacher-student relationship, otherwise her tone should not be one of regret and sorrow, but rather one of relief that "relatives are promoted regardless of their relationship".

"Actually, I have been holding this matter in my heart for a long time." Jingchai laughed, as if relieved of a heavy burden. "If others knew about this, I would feel much more relaxed."

Presumably, it was the same in her previous life, which forced her step by step to turn against Chen Dongguo.

However, if it is just an unethical relationship, it is not enough to constitute a "criminal motive", there must be other reasons...

Maybe it hasn't happened yet, maybe she hasn't found it yet.

"Actually, I've also heard Xiaoxi and Shixin hint at Teacher Chen's lifestyle... I won't talk about Shixin, because he's a man, so he naturally thinks it's no big deal. But Xiaoxi..."

Jiang Baige paused, raised her head, and looked deeply at Jingchai: "How long do you think you can keep it a secret from her?"

Jingchai smiled bitterly and sighed: "If I had known it would turn out like this, I would rather not have been soft-hearted from the beginning and promised her to help her keep an eye on her father..."

Jiang Baige was surprised again - although she had already learned from Shi Xin that it was Chen Xi who recommended Jingchai to go, she had never thought that the purpose of this recommendation was to "survey".

Jingchai read the shock in Jiang Baige's eyes and suddenly said something without a beginning or an end: "During the day, did you think I was jealous and interrupted the conversation between you and Teacher Chen?"

Jiang Baige didn't know why she asked that, but she answered truthfully: "I don't think so, but Shi Xin thinks so."

"Then if I say I'm doing this to protect you... do you believe me?"

she letter.

Jingchai continued to explain: "You may not have seen Chen Xi's mother. She is the head of the troupe and a well-deserved beauty. Even now in her forties, she is still radiant... But Chen Xi said that her father likes female college students who are engaged in literature and have a 'common language' with him."

After saying that, she laughed at herself again: "It seems that I am 'overage'. However, if you think about it from another angle, he just wants to regain the 'masculinity' that he lost in front of Chen Xi's mother, then it probably doesn't matter who the other party is."

This passage contains a lot of information, even including the "involvement" of Chen Xi's mother in this matter, which she had not considered before.

The husband has been cheating on her for so many years, and even their daughter knows about it. Even the most dull-witted wife should not be completely ignorant of it, but she still devotes herself to her career. She can be said to be permissive of her husband's behavior, or it can be said that she doesn't care.

Jiang Baige really wanted to ask more questions, but of course not for gossip.

Rather, she sensed a contradiction.

Because from Jingchai's tone and narration at this moment, there is no longer any trace of the "admiration" she had when she mentioned her "boyfriend" when they first met.

If I didn't know that Jingchai didn't have any schizophrenia - the news reports in the previous life only said that she confessed her guilt readily, and no one mentioned that she used mental illness to escape punishment.

But the more this is the case, the less it makes sense.

But Jingchai didn't mean to continue, and instead turned the conversation back to Jiang Baige: "But you are different. You are a junior this year, you like literature, you write your own things, you go to his lectures, and now you are invited to his friend's villa... You are simply a little white rabbit who voluntarily jumps into his net."

Jiang Baige frowned: This statement is wrong. Whether she went to the lecture or came here, it had nothing to do with Chen Dongguo himself - even if it was not for Chen Xi, the former was invited by Shi Xin, and the latter was a joint invitation by Chen Xi and Shi Xin...

But when Jingchai said it, it seemed as if everything was done for Chen Dongguo.

But Jingchai didn't think there was anything wrong with what she said, and continued: "Of course I'm not jealous, but I don't want you to become the next me..."

"Since you don't want to be his secret lover and don't want to let your good friend down, why don't you break up with him?"

"Break up?" Jingchai suddenly laughed. Fortunately, there were so many people around that no one noticed. "What qualifications do I have? Have you forgotten where I published my article "Paradise"?"

Jiang Baige's silence meant that she understood.

Jingchai's dissatisfaction had just begun: "Do you think that without him, I could have been published in such a high-end literary magazine?"

She continued to laugh, but Jiang Baige saw the tears in her eyes. Because they were too abundant, they slid down the corners of her eyes, leaving a string of water marks on the thin foundation.

She wiped away her tears: "The sacred, pure literature in our hearts is nothing more than a bargaining chip in the hands of those who hold the right to speak - money, desire, whoever can satisfy them can get the admission ticket. Oh yes, most of the time, it is women who stop them. I think this may be because men are in power, and women happen to be good at self-paralysis and deception..."

Jiang Baige was sure that Jingchai was talking about herself.

But is Jingchai that kind of person - willing to sell out his own personality just to publish a few novels and get the stepping stone to enter the hall of "writer"?

Jiang Baige looked at Jingchai and suddenly realized: Jingchai had just used the change in narrative perspective to cleverly avoid the most crucial point - she did not mention the turning point from "helping Chen Xi to keep an eye on Chen Dongguo" to "becoming one of Chen Dongguo's many lovers" at all.

She didn't mention it, which showed that this point was very important. Jiang Baige knew that she had to seize the opportunity and ask Jingchai when he let his guard down.

"But senior sister, I don't understand. Since you know that Xiaoxi hates her father for being a philanderer, and you still ask for your help...how can you..."

Jiang Baige didn't know how to say the next words without sounding offensive, but Jingchai already understood.

She sneered and just as she said the word "that beast", the beast appeared -

"Jingchai, you are here..." Chen Dongguo walked out from behind Jiang Baige.

Because Jiang Baige was sitting next to Jingchai, she clearly felt Jingchai's body begin to tremble violently and then be suppressed.

This feeling... reminded Jiang Baige of Li Yu.

But before she could think about it, Chen Dongguo had already walked between the two of them and saw Jiang Baige: "Oh, it's classmate Jiang."

"Well, let's chat for a while." Jingchai took over the conversation, as if to prevent Chen Dongguo and Jiang Baige from having any further contact. "Teacher, you don't want to play cards with them, but... you want to talk to me about something?"
