Li Mengning froze, staring at him blankly. She didn't think Jiang Lan was lying to her.
For Jiang Lan was completely serious now, his eyes devoid of their usual frivolity. It was an expression she hadn't seen on him in a very long time.
"So, you must remember this: if you ever run into Jiang Ruxian, don't overestimate your own strength and try to fight her..."
"The score between us is mine to settle."
Jiang Lan hadn't wanted to say all this so soon, but he felt it was a necessary precaution. It would make the plan he was laying the groundwork for proceed more naturally.
Of course, there was another reason: Li Mengning wasn't actually one to listen. She really would try to get revenge on Jiang Ruxian. In the original storyline, she had been severely injured multiple times doing just that.
'Now that the plot has deviated from its original path, who knows if she'll go behind my back to get revenge on Jiang Ruxian.'
