Chapter 2992: Your Fingerprints Are on It

Wen Ning’s expression darkened. "What do you mean by that? Are you suspecting me?!"

"I never said it was you."

"That look on your face says it all! Someone framed you, what’s that got to do with me? Don’t judge me by your own petty standards and pin everything on me!"

Li Mingxi let out a soft laugh. "Why are you so worked up? I haven’t even said it was you."

"Li Mingxi, I don’t want to play riddles with you here. If there’s nothing else, I’m leaving!"

"I haven’t finished talking yet, what’s the rush?"

Wen Ning had no choice but to hold herself back. "Then hurry up, I still have to work. I don’t have time to waste on you."

Li Mingxi said with a smile, "You really are dedicated, huh. Even injured and you still don’t forget to work hard. No wonder Xiao Lang has so much time every day to go out and play with me, he’s not busy at all. Turns out you’re doing all his work for him. I should tell Xiao Lang to give you a raise, can’t let you suffer a loss."

Wen Ning’s face clouded over.

She worked so hard, all because she wanted Xiao Lang to look at her in a new light.

And in the end, all she did was free up Xiao Lang’s time so he could be with Li Mingxi...

The more Wen Ning thought about it, the more furious she felt.

"What, did I say something wrong? Why do you look so awful?" Li Mingxi asked on purpose.

Wen Ning couldn’t hold it in any longer and said aggrievedly,

"Sister Mingxi, I admit I like Brother Xiao. But is it wrong for me to like him? Why are you always taking digs at me between the lines? There’s nothing between me and Brother Xiao, you just refuse to believe me. Do you really have to treat me like this?"

Li Mingxi stopped smiling. "Before today, have I ever deliberately made things hard for you or picked on you first?"

Wen Ning choked on her words—

Li Mingxi’s eyes were sharp, her voice icy.

"I thought you were young and didn’t know any better, so I let things go again and again. But you just keep pushing your luck and don’t know what’s good for you!"

Wen Ning’s eyes widened; she clearly hadn’t expected Li Mingxi to speak so bluntly.

"How am I the one who doesn’t know what’s good for her? What did I ever do to you?!" Wen Ning demanded angrily.

Li Mingxi took a courier box out of the bag and set it on the table.

She opened the box, revealing the recorder inside.

"This was sent by you, right?"

"What is that?!" Wen Ning decided she would never admit it, even if she died.

Li Mingxi said coolly, "Don’t bother denying it. Your fingerprints are on it—on the box and on the recorder. If you don’t believe me, we can go get it tested right now."

A flash of panic crossed Wen Ning’s eyes.

Li Mingxi smiled. "Honestly, why would you use such a nice, smooth box to mail it in? Boxes like this are the easiest to retain fingerprints, you didn’t know that?"

"..." She really had been careless.

It hadn’t even occurred to her; normally they would throw the boxes away.

Li Mingxi picked up her coffee and took a small sip. "Don’t bother with those little schemes in the future. No need to make a fool of yourself and cheapen your own worth."

Wen Ning’s face was ugly. "Fine, yes, I sent it to you. I just recorded the conversation I heard and mailed it to you, that’s all. I just didn’t want Brother Xiao to be deceived by you. You and Brother Li Qian are so murky and unclear, I wanted to give him a reminder. Is that so wrong?"

"Mm, you’re not wrong."

Wen Ning was stunned, then heard Li Mingxi continue, "People who are full of themselves never think they’re wrong.

When have you ever not said, ’I’m not wrong’? You weren’t wrong when you deliberately crashed into someone’s car just to make them feel guilty and uneasy.

Secretly mailing things to sabotage someone’s marriage—that’s not your fault either.
