Xue Li'er sat on the chair in the interrogation room again, and the person sitting opposite her was Nan Xun, whom she had always wanted to meet.
Xue Li'er hadn't eaten or drunk anything in the past few days. She looked extremely haggard and dizzy, as if she would pass out at any moment.
After hearing that Nanxun was willing to see her, Xue Lier ate something and drank some water with the help of the prison guards. She also felt more energetic.
"Do I look... ugly now?"
Xue Lier sat down opposite Nan Xun and reached out to tidy up her messy long hair.
Nan Xun's eyes were always cold and he just looked at Xue Lier coldly.
"I heard you wanted to see me?" Nan Xun said straight to the point, "Tell me, what's the matter?"
For the first time, Xue Li'er felt that Nan Xun's eyes were like two cold swords, piercing her heart so hard that it almost bleeds.
"I know you hate me." Xue Li'er's voice was weak, as if it would break at the slightest touch. "But... I want to tell you, I have my reasons for doing all this... I... I didn't mean to kill your parents..."
Nan Xun did not respond to Xue Li'er's words, but just looked at Xue Li'er with eyes even colder than before, which made Xue Li'er very uncomfortable.
Xue Li'er took a deep breath. She had already prepared herself mentally when she came here. No matter how Nan Xun treated her, she would tell him everything in her heart.
"You are my first love," Xue Li'er said slowly. "Although I briefly dated a few young men before you, they were all arranged by my father, and I never fell in love with them. You... are the first and only one..."
"But even though you're my first love, there are some things I dare not tell you." Xue Li'er paused and continued, "I'm afraid if I tell you, you'll look down on me. I'll feel so pathetic. I... don't want this kind of pity..."
"That's right. My father is the only son of the Xue family and the only heir of the Xue family. But he was spoiled by my grandmother since he was a child. He is a useless playboy who can do nothing but spend money." Recalling the past, Xue Li'er's eyes, which had been lifeless just now, were filled with hatred.
"My father married her because she was pretty. But after they got married, he felt her family was useless and couldn't help him. So he treated my mother very badly. After I was born, my father and my grandmother wanted a son, so they treated my mother even worse."
"This cruelty was gradually instilled in me even at a young age. So from a very young age, I learned to read people's expressions and know what to say and do to please adults."
"My dad was very against me being with you when I was together," Xue Li'er continued. "He was disgusted by the fact that Nanyu wasn't one of the biggest companies in the capital back then. Especially when Nanyu was facing a crisis, my dad's opposition became even stronger. So I had no choice but to follow his arrangements and go on different blind dates to meet different young men."
"Those men are all disgusting. They're either after my body or just looking for fun. The more they're like that, the more I can't leave you. I always compare you to these men."
"In order to be with you, I had to agree to my father's request and help him steal Nanyu's business secrets to make money. Otherwise, he would force me to leave you. I... really don't want to leave you..."
"So, I stole Nanyu's business secrets again and again... until your father found out..."
