Qin Lianyi bit her lip and said nothing.
Bai Tingxin laughed bitterly. "It seems that you'd rather let me be in pain, huh?" He said nothing more after that, lifting his feet to walk away.
Qin Lianyi watched the figure disappear into the night before crouching down as if she was exhausted. She wrapped her hands tightly around her knees as her nose felt sore.
She wanted to cry but could not, and her mouth had a bitter taste.
'How did things turn out this way between us? What should I do? I’ve finally made up my mind, but why do I keep wavering because of him?'
...
Xiao Ziqi never expected to see Hao Yimeng again!
However, Hao Yimeng was different from the woman he remembered. She wore plain cheap clothes, and her frizzy hair was carelessly tied up with a rubber band. Her face was as gaunt as if she were in her 40s.
People who were unaware would not believe that she was once deemed a goddess by countless men.
"You..." Xiao Ziqi did not know what to say.
"What's the matter? You don't recognize me after not meeting for so long?" asked Hao Yimeng. They were in KFC, and there were all kinds of people going in and out. Hence, they did not stand out.
No one here would have guessed that the man and woman conversing were once a sensational couple in the city.
Xiao Ziqi's brows furrowed with dissatisfaction. "It was you who dragged the Hao family into this mess. If you hadn't done those things, the Hao family wouldn't have turned out the way they did. Even the Xiao family..."
He paused and said nothing more.
Hao Yimeng laughed sarcastically. "Do you think I'm the reason the Xiao family ended up this way? Xiao Ziqi, weren't you the one who was desperate enough to abandon Ling Yiran and be with me? You brought this upon the Xiao family!"
"If you hadn't framed Yiran, how could this have happened to me?" Xiao Ziqi bellowed with a hint of reluctance.
He had accepted his fate. However, after seeing Hao Yimeng, he could not help thinking that if she had not done those things, he would have continued dating Yiran and maybe married her. Then, the Xiao family would not have been the target of Yi Jinli's wrath. Things would not have ended up like this.
