"Miss, the person has been brought over."
"Quickly invite him in. You stay here and keep watch at the door so my dad doesn't find out."
"Yes, Miss."
Wearing a low-brimmed baseball cap and a dusty brown overcoat, the man cautiously glanced around as he entered.
After the maid left, only the man and Lu Xinyao remained in the room.
"Old Zhao, how's the investigation going?"
Old Zhao took off his baseball cap and shook his head. "Miss Lu, I tried my best. That woman is very secretive, and I can't find out anything about her."
"How could this be...?" We've been investigating for months, and this is still the result.
"What about that man? That Ji Ziqian? Has she had any further contact with him?"
"We did have contact two months ago, but we've completely lost touch recently. The Ji family is difficult to deal with, so I don't dare to follow them too closely."
Lu Xinyao sat on the bed with a frustrated expression. She couldn't find any dirt on Bai Xiaoruo, and she couldn't even dig up any secrets about her and Ji Ziqian. Now, wouldn't that bitch be even more smug?
Now, what other way is there to bring her down?
Are we just going to stand by and watch her and Xian Mingyu live happily ever after?
No! She can't do it! Absolutely not!
She's not good enough for him at all! The person who should be standing next to Xian Mingyu is Lu Xinyao!
Old Zhao continued, "Miss Lu, if I may be frank, instead of having me investigate that woman named Bai Xiaoruo without any progress, why not change the direction of the investigation?"
"What do you mean?"
"Miss Lu, now that Bai Xiaoruo and Xian Mingyu's marriage has been exposed to the public and is common knowledge in L City, do you know who did this?"
"Who did this? Who has the time to do something like this?" Lu Xinyao had just seen this news online a few days ago, and it was even being broadcast on TV. She was so angry that she wanted to find the person who broke the news and kill him! She was already annoyed enough, but the thing she least wanted to see was deliberately amplified. Lu Xinyao hadn't slept well for days and nights.
The thought that Xian Mingyu would rather marry that kind of lowly woman than even glance at her filled Lu Xinyao with rage.
"According to my investigation, the person who broke the news is named Su Yuluo."
"Su Yuluo? What is she? Is she in cahoots with that bitch Bai Xiaoruo?"
"No, their relationship is exactly the opposite of what you think. She is Xuan Mingyu's girlfriend from when he was in college in the United States, which is his current ex-girlfriend."
"Ex-girlfriend? He... he really had a girlfriend? Why didn't you tell me this before! Old Zhao, I've given you quite a bit of money over these past few months of investigation! And now you're finally giving me some useful information? Where were you all this time?!"
Old Zhao nervously rubbed his hands together. He couldn't afford to offend this big spender so easily. "Miss Lu, it was indeed my oversight that I didn't investigate further."
“I only recently found out about her. This woman named Su Yuluo is no ordinary person. If Miss Lu can make good use of her, it won’t be difficult to separate Xian Mingyu and Bai Xiaoruo.” Old Zhao took out a report on Su Yuluo from his briefcase and handed it to Lu Xinyao.
Lu Xinyao took the document, flipped through it casually, and smiled. She never expected that Su Yuluo's personal information was more colorful than she had imagined.
How could Hsien Ming-yu have fallen for a woman like that? It's ironic!
"You're right, indeed, it's worth making good use of."
***
What do you hate most about her?
Why?
Did she do anything to make him dislike her?
Bai Xiaoruo lowered her eyes, not daring to look at Xian Mingyu in front of her.
"What I hate most is that you always like to belittle yourself."
"Me? I... do I?"
What do you think?
Bai Xiaoruo pursed her lower lip, unsure of what to say.
"Lift your head up and look at me."
"What are you looking at?" She looked up somewhat reluctantly, and their eyes met.
What do you see in my eyes?
"Huh? I...I saw myself."
"In my eyes, all I see is you, and in your eyes, all I see is myself."
What exactly is he trying to say? Bai Xiaoruo was completely confused by Xuan Mingyu's words.
Besides seeing each other, can they also transform into something else in each other's eyes?
“You and I are equal. You are mine, and I belong to you alone.” His hand, which was around her shoulder, slowly moved down and grasped her hand, which was wearing a cartoon glove. “You don’t need to be afraid, you don’t need to feel uneasy or insecure. I won’t be angry with you or hate you. When I say I like you, I mean it.”
"My favorite is the cheerful, playful, and energetic Bai Xiaoruo, the real you, not the Bai Xiaoruo who silently sacrifices for me and is stubborn but always makes my heart ache."
"Promise me that from now on, you will always be your most authentic self in front of me, and you won't be so insecure and give up on yourself anymore, okay?"
"What are you doing... saying such mushy things all of a sudden? I... I'll be embarrassed!" Bai Xiaoruo was stunned for a moment, then came to her senses, her face turning red. She shyly buried her face in his chest, not wanting him to see her like this.
Ugh, I'm so embarrassed! I like you, and you've said it so many times, so directly! I'm so ashamed, I'm so embarrassed.
