Shi Xi opened the door and turned to leave.
He Xiangdi followed behind him and sat down on the sofa.
He Xiangdi was not sitting directly opposite the main entrance.
Shi Xi looked at He Xiangdi with a hint of expectation in her eyes... at the documents in his hand.
Judging from his expression, he seems to be 100% confident this time.
He Xiangdi didn't say anything, and handed the document directly to Shi Xi.
"What is this?" Shi Xi looked surprised. She paused for a moment, and only took it when the other party did not explain.
Shi Xi's expression gradually became serious.
The contents of the file were as expected.
The truck driver who killed Sheng Wanrou back then was Xiao Wanjun's nominal father!
However, the document did not mention that the man was only the adoptive father.
It wasn't that He Xiangdi deliberately concealed it, but rather that he genuinely couldn't find out. After all, Xiao Wanjun's adoptive father had raised him for over a decade before discovering that he wasn't his own child.
The Xiao family still doesn't know about this.
This incident was the key to his breakup with Xiao Wanjun.
In the original storyline, Xiao Wanjun broke up with Qin Huaixi after they fell in love at the ski resort.
At the time, he felt guilty for not noticing Xiao Wanjun's previous conflict with He Xiangdi, and Jiang Sheng Construction was able to survive thanks to Qin Huaixi's help. In addition, he had left when Xiao Wanjun needed him the most.
Therefore, when He Xiangdi produced this document, he chose to conceal it and peacefully broke up with Xiao Wanjun.
Xiao Wanjun definitely won't initiate a breakup now, but that's okay, Shi Xi will.
As for the reason, well, I'm just sitting here.
Shi Xi glanced at He Xiangdi, who was nervously scrutinizing her.
Although this person is off-topic, he can be of help at crucial moments.
Thanks, bro.
He mentally gave the other person a "nice guy" card.
He Xiangdi looked at Shi Xi, whose eyes were red with sadness, whose hands holding the documents trembled uncontrollably, and whose brows furrowed with heartache.
"I'm sorry, maybe I shouldn't have told you."
As he spoke, he pulled Shi Xi into his arms, gently patted his shoulder, and his phoenix eyes showed more satisfaction than heartache.
He finally managed to hug him.
Shi Xi stiffened, but did not reject his comfort.
He Xiangdi hugged him and comforted him for a while, but before Shi Xi could calm down, they heard a snap.
It was the sound of keys falling to the ground.
Shi Xi followed the gaze and saw that it was Xiao Wanjun, who was holding a box of mousse cake.
His eyes were filled with surprise and anger.
From his perspective, it was He Xiangdi who forcibly kissed Shi Xi.
Xiao Wanjun strode forward, shoved He Xiangdi aside, and roared, "Don't touch him!"
Then he threw a punch at He Xiangdi, but stopped abruptly midway.
He looked at Shi Xi, who was standing in front of He Xiangdi, with a puzzled expression, but then quickly understood.
Thinking the other party was worried that his hitting He Xiangdi would jeopardize his career, he comforted him, saying, "Jiang Feng, it's alright. I'll terminate my contract with Oriental Entertainment immediately after filming 'Awakening of Insects'!"
Shi Xi kept her head down, not looking at him, and said in a somewhat muffled voice:
"Xiao Wanjun, let's break up."
Xiao Wanjun was stunned, staring at Shi Xi with disbelief.
"...What...what did you say?"
He gave a pale smile and reached out to touch Shi Xi: "Jiang Feng, don't joke like that. You know I don't like joking."
He Xiangdi stepped forward, put his arm around Shi Xi's waist, and spoke with possessive intent:
"Jiang Feng said he wants to break up with you. Can't he understand human language?"
"Xiao Wanjun, you don't actually think Jiang Feng would date someone like you, do you?"
Hmph, you're so naive. I'll tell you the truth today: I'm his lover!
It's just that Jiang Feng and I had a little argument before, and that's why he pursued you out of spite.
"From beginning to end, he was mine!"
Shi Xi listened to He Xiangdi's bold statement from the side.
I thought to myself.
This person is really full of lies.
As he lowered his eyes to think, he didn't expect He Xiangdi to pull out another big move. He took out a stack of photos from his body and threw them at Xiao Wanjun.
When it was thrown down, Xiao Wanjun didn't catch it, and all the photos fell to the ground.
Shi Xi glanced at it and saw a photo of clothes tangled on the wet floor in the bathroom.
"……?" When was this photo taken?
Shi Xi glanced at the photo without making a sound and noticed that one of the outfits in the photo was the dark blue suit she wore on her first day in this little world, the one that had been stained.
The owner of the other set of clothes was none other than He Xiangdi, who was holding himself.
"This outfit looks familiar, doesn't it?"
He Xiangdi paused, glanced at Shi Xi in his arms, and seeing that he didn't expose his lie, continued sarcastically, "Didn't you notice anything amiss that night we ate together?"
"Ah Feng was wearing my clothes that day, from head to toe, all of them."
He Xiangdi tightened his grip on Shi Xi's wrist and looked at her. "Now that we've made up, you can get out."
Xiao Wanjun stared down at the photo, her face grim and her eyes dark.
He recognized the outfit; it was one he had bought for Shi Xi.
The night they were together, the other person's clothes were indeed a size too big, unlike his usual style.
He pursed his lips, but finally looked up at Shi Xi. "I don't believe what he said, Jiang Feng. I only believe you."
I'll believe you as long as you're willing to explain, no matter what you say.
Just as Shi Xi was about to speak, he suddenly felt the arms around him tighten even more, a force that seemed to want to meld him into his very blood, making him feel somewhat suffocated.
Friend, are you going to kill me?
Shi Xi frowned slightly and quietly poked the other person's waist.
It's too tight, relax a bit.
I can barely breathe.
But he found that He Xiangdi was holding him even tighter.
There wasn't a single bit of understanding between them.
"What he said is all true." Shi Xi looked calmly at Xiao Wanjun: "I'm sorry, I lied to you."
This sentence made Xiao Wanjun think of many things: Shi Xi's resistance to his closeness, Shi Xi's deliberate display of closeness to him in front of He Xiangdi, He Xiangdi's apology that he thought was a provocation, Shi Xi's almost indifferent indulgence towards him...
So this is the bloody truth.
He was merely a tool Shi Xi used to provoke He Xiangdi.
All that talk of liking and tenderness is fake!
'Snap—'
The mousse cake was slammed onto the floor.
"You don't deserve my affection." Xiao Wanjun's eyes darkened further, her tone slow and cold, as if she were trying hard not to cry.
Shi Xi saw people like this.
He sighed silently to himself.
If you had realized this earlier, you would have been happily in love with Qin Huaixi long ago, instead of being so heartbroken.
After Xiao Wanjun left, Shi Xi immediately pushed He Xiangdi away.
That was close; I almost got strangled to death.
Seeing him like this, He Xiangdi's eyes darkened slightly, his glasses concealing his turbulent thoughts.
He raised his hand to wipe away the tears that had welled up in Shi Xi's eyes, tears that had almost made her suffocate.
He suddenly confessed: "I like you."
