Chapter 1494: Chapter 1494: He is the mastermind (6)
Seeing Xiao Ji’s mother looking at her, Su Hongxing forced a smile: “Xiao Mama, let’s eat first. The dishes will get cold if we don’t.”
Throughout the dinner, everyone spoke very little.
Xiao Ji’s mother didn’t think much of it, she just thought that since Su Hongxing was married, there was some estrangement between her and Xiao Ji.
After dinner, Su Hongxing washed the dishes, and when she turned around, she saw Xiao Ji standing at the kitchen door. His focused gaze made her feel as if he hadn’t changed at all.
“Xingxing, come sit outside with me for a bit.” Xiao Ji invited.
Opportunities to be alone with her would likely become increasingly rare.
Su Hongxing followed behind Xiao Ji to the grape arbor.
“Do you remember how we used to sit here to enjoy the cool breeze?” Xiao Ji paused, then continued, “You probably don’t remember, but there are some things I just can’t forget.”
Su Hongxing kept walking forward without looking back, but he remained where he was. Love for her continued to grow from those around her, while people around him increasingly drifted away.
That was the difference between her and him. She wasn’t lacking love, but he was desperately short of it.
“It’s not that I don’t remember, it’s just that some things, digging them up again holds no meaning.” Su Hongxing turned to look at Xiao Ji: “I never imagined that the person trying to harm me in every possible way would be you.”
“You’re wrong, I’ve never harmed you.” Xiao Ji’s expression was indifferent: “Did you never consider that I was pushed into a corner by Ye Qilan, forced to fight back? He said he wanted to buy out my company, leaving me with no standing in Taicheng, should I just let him bully me like that without fighting back? He is rich and powerful, I know I’m no match for him. So I struck first, withdrawing all my funds, leaving him with an empty shell to acquire. How is protecting myself wrong?”
The only reason why Ye Qilan was ahead of him was because Ye Qilan had power.
“Even if you two were at odds in business, why did you kill him? Do you know that murder is illegal? And Ye Zheng, you killed him too, didn’t you?” Su Hongxing stared coldly at Xiao Ji: “To climb higher, you resorted to any means necessary, you’re no longer the Xiao Ji I knew.”
Xiao Ji had long become unrecognizable, how could she still hope he would change for the better?
“I truly am not the Xiao Ji you knew, I admit that. But I told you, I could never harm you. It was me who brought Liu Qingyin and Fu Yan together, did you think it was Liu Yuan who sent Liu Qingyin to Fu Yan? You’re wrong, I orchestrated that night for them.” Xiao Ji said calmly.
Liu Yuan liked Liu Qingyin so much, there’s no way he would willingly hand her over to Fu Yan.
Since Liu Yuan found out about that matter, he had beaten him severely, but he never regretted doing so.
“Liu Yuan attempted to kill Liu Qingyin’s child more than once, it was I who swapped the child the moment Liu Qingyin gave birth and delivered that child to you. You wouldn’t think Liu Yuan was generous enough to hand over Liu Qingyin’s child to you, would you?” Xiao Ji looked at Su Hongxing: “Xingxing, you’ll never know how many things I’ve done secretly for your sake.”
She always only noticed what he did to harm Ye Qilan.
“But I don’t need you to do such heinous things for me. Do you think killing someone and taking their assets is justified? I’m asking you again, was Ye Yanhong also killed by you?” Su Hongxing questioned Xiao Ji.
Seeing Su Hongxing so emotional, Xiao Ji lowered his eyes: “In your heart, whatever I do is always wrong, isn’t it?”
