A friend of Xu Yanfeng met an acquaintance at a hotel.
That acquaintance was none other than Xu Yanfeng's girlfriend from university, who was now a thing of the past.
The two greete...
As she had guessed, Xia Xi chuckled, "Do you believe she accidentally let it slip?"
She emphasized the word "accidentally".
Chen Songbai's face stiffened slightly.
"You kept dragging your feet on getting a divorce, and she couldn't fulfill her wish. Since she couldn't do anything about it herself, she had no choice but to turn her attention to your parents." Xia Xi spread her hands. "As soon as your parents heard about it, they immediately rushed over to force you to get a divorce, without even having to show up."
Chen Songbai never understood: "What is her purpose in doing this? I said I would compensate her as long as she is willing to tell me."
Xia Xi shook his head. Why hadn't he seen Miao Yijia's true colors yet? Was he stupid, or just unwilling to think that way? "What she really wants is for you to take responsibility for her, divorce Xuanxuan, and marry her. Have I made myself clear enough?"
As if frightened, Chen Songbai stood up from his chair. His movement was too violent and the chair was pushed back a distance, making a slightly harsh noise.
He stood up a little abruptly, and the few customers in the coffee shop all looked over.
"I said I treat her as my younger sister." Chen Songbai found it hard to believe the possibility Xia Xi mentioned.
Xia Xi's eyes were calm as she said, "You treat her as your sister. Have you ever asked her if she treats you as her brother? Chen Songbai, why are you so surprised? I remember I reminded you after the incident that Miao Yijiajia might have deliberately set you up. I think you didn't listen at all."
Chen Songbai sat down and didn't speak for a long time.
That day, after Xia Xi reminded him, he went back to confront Miao Yijiajia, and then Miao Yijiajia cut her wrists. In addition, he didn't really believe it in the first place, so he dismissed this speculation.
Seeing that he looked unacceptable, Xia Xi just wanted to say "you deserve it" to him, but when she thought that the person who was hurt was her own sister, she couldn't say anything mocking.
"Think carefully, has Miao Yijia ever crossed the line in her words or actions towards you? Has she ever respected Xuanxuan, her cousin-in-law? Chen Songbai, don't you have any responsibility for what happened today?"
Although it was a question, Xia Xi's voice was calm.
She left Chen Songbai alone to think, paid the bill, and left the coffee shop first.
She was entrusted by Xia Xuan to persuade Chen Songbai to agree to a divorce. After the communication, she only saw Chen Songbai's determination not to divorce.
Xia Xi was even more worried than last night. After getting in the car, she thought for a long time before starting it.
When I got home, Xu Yanfeng had already returned and was helping Ziheng build Lego. The Hogwarts Castle was half completed.
Seeing Xia Xi approaching, Xu Yanfeng put the piece in his hand together, stood up and went over to massage her shoulders: "Thank you for your hard work."
Xia Xi followed him as he walked, pinching him. She curled the corners of her lips and smiled, raised one hand and placed it on his hand. She happened to see the express box next to the cabinet. She had moved it there yesterday, and it was still untouched today.
She pointed at the box and asked Xu Yanfeng, "What did you buy?"
Xu Yanfeng: "Why don't you take it down?"
Xia Xi was stunned: "I see your name on the list."
"What's mine is not yours."
Xu Yanfeng moved the box over, took a utility knife from the cabinet and handed it to her, raised his chin slightly, and motioned for her to open it.
