He Mingxiao was slightly stunned when he heard this, but he quickly reacted, smiled, and said, "Of course I remember, but how did Miss Li know her?"
Li Shu tilted her head, her dark eyes flickering as she abruptly asked, "Then do you know she's dead?"
He Mingxiao's pupils suddenly contracted, his brows filled with disbelief, and he almost stood up from the sofa, "What did you say?!"
Li Shu's eyes darkened. He Mingxiao's reaction didn't seem fake, or maybe his acting was too good. "She's dead. She died more than 20 years ago."
"Impossible, how could I not know that she was dead!" He Mingxiao frowned and retorted.
Li Shu took out her phone from her pocket slowly and said, "I brought her here. Why don't you confront her face to face?"
He Mingxiao frowned, not understanding what she said. "Ms. Li, you said she was already dead, and then you said you brought her here. Don't you think it's contradictory?"
Li Shu's slender fingers tapped the phone screen intermittently, and she spoke slowly, "Who told you that I brought a human?"
He Mingxiao was even more confused now, "If it's not a human, then what is it?"
Li Shu smiled and said, "Of course it's a ghost."
Huo Yandong was eating melons with gusto. Even though he only partially understood what he heard, he didn't feel it affected at all. He was almost eating melon seeds.
But after hearing what Li Shu said, he couldn't hold it in anymore and the water he had just drunk sprayed out, "Puff..."
The originally stagnant atmosphere was instantly relaxed by his actions, and for a moment everyone's attention was directed to him.
Huo Yandong coughed lightly, trying to squeeze out an awkward yet polite smile, and whispered, "Well, sorry, you guys continue, don't worry about me..."
Shen Yu glanced at him calmly, then turned to look at the girl next to him, his eyes fixed, "Ghost?"
Li Shu no longer looked at Huo Yandong, and casually withdrew her gaze, nodding slightly, "Yes."
Although He Mingxiao didn't believe what she said, and in his opinion, ghosts didn't exist in the world, he naturally had to give Li Shu a certain amount of respect because of Shen Yu. He simply followed her words and asked, "Ms. Li, where is Xinyuan now? Can I see her?"
Li Shu hummed softly, her raven-black eyelashes slightly closed, looking at the phone in her hand, and said slowly: "Come out."
As soon as the words fell, the temperature in the entire box dropped suddenly, becoming a bone-chilling cold.
The next moment, a red figure suddenly appeared in front of everyone.
The moment He Mingxiao saw the woman's face, his pupils dilated and he stood up from the sofa, his eyes and eyebrows showing shock that he couldn't hide, "Xinyuan!"
"What the hell?" Huo Yandong was so shocked that his jaw dropped, and the cigarette in his mouth fell to the ground with a thud.
He rubbed his eyes and suspected for a moment that he had seen it wrong, but the sudden drop in temperature and the sudden appearance of the woman in red in front of him all told him that there really was something fishy going on in this world!
Even Shen Yu's emotionless eyes flashed with a hint of surprise.
Apart from Li Shu, Qin Can and Chen Bin were the calmest people in the entire box.
Qian Xinyuan's eyes fell on He Mingxiao. She stood still without moving forward and said softly, "Mingxiao, long time no see."
He Mingxiao's eyes instantly turned red. He staggered towards her and looked at the woman whose appearance remained the same as more than 20 years ago and whose skin was abnormally pale. He had to believe that Qian Xinyuan was really dead.
He spoke incoherently: "Xinyuan, you were fine, how could you become like this... You were fine... How could this happen? Who hurt you? I remember you were not, you were not..."
"What am I not?" Qian Xinyuan asked.
He Mingxiao clenched his hands at his side into fists and then unclenched them. A trace of struggle and pain flashed in his eyes. "Didn't you leave with someone else?"
"Who did I leave with?" Qian Xinyuan looked puzzled. "Mingxiao, I listened to you and waited for you at our home, but you never came back after you left."
He Mingxiao was stunned for a moment, his brows full of disbelief, "But I clearly saw you get into a man's car..."
"What man? Mingxiao, what are you talking about? I don't understand. I haven't gone anywhere. I've been waiting for you to come back." Qian Xinyuan said.
"It seems that there is some misunderstanding between you. Maybe what you saw back then was just what others wanted you to see?" Li Shu suddenly spoke and reminded.
He Mingxiao finally realized what was wrong. Qian Xinyuan was already dead and turned into a ghost, so there was no need for her to lie to him. This meant there was something else going on.
Someone wants him to break up with Qian Xinyuan!
He Mingxiao is very smart. His brain works very fast, connecting all the events that happened that year one by one, and he almost touches the truth of the matter.
His face darkened, his eyes showed a bit of ruthlessness, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Huo Xue..."
Qian Xinyuan's eyes flickered, and she whispered, "So you didn't come back because you married Huo Xue, right?"
He Mingxiao took a deep breath, barely controlling his anger, and explained, "Xinyuan, I was deceived by Huo Xue back then. Our team won the championship. After returning to Beijing, I wanted to go straight back to you, but she invited everyone in our team to dinner together under the pretext of a celebration banquet. I figured there was no rush, so I sent you a text message and then we went to the dinner place together."
"Then I saw you getting into another man's car right in front of the hotel. Now I think she must have done something tricky, finding someone who looked like you and letting me run into you on purpose."
"I didn't want to believe what I saw, and I thought that person wasn't you. I tried to call you, but the call didn't go through. I left the rest of the group and rushed back home. All your things were there, but you weren't there."
"Then I received a text message from you, saying that you didn't want to live this endlessly miserable life with me anymore and that you had already left here, and asked me not to contact you again."
"It wasn't until that moment that I had to admit it was true, but I respect your choice. I don't blame you, I only blame myself for not having money."
"I was very sad and depressed for a while. Huo Xue stayed by my side and helped me get through it. Later, we got together and got married. But I didn't expect her to be this kind of person. She would do anything to achieve her goals. I was deceived by her from beginning to end!"
Qian Xinyuan didn't expect the truth to be like this. A hint of bitterness appeared on the corner of her mouth. "Ming Xiao, I was actually at home the day you came back..."
