Chapter 231 It Was a Lie from Beginning to End
At that time, Bo Siye clearly said that Shen Jiheng often mentioned her in the dormitory, and that he must have feelings for her, but they just hadn't been aroused yet.
It was because of these words that Han Xi listened to his advice and made rumors of forming a couple with him in college, in order to attract Shen Jiheng's attention.
As a result, the news spread like wildfire at the university, and everyone assumed they were dating.
Bo Siye kept urging her to persevere, saying that Shen Jiheng was showing signs of wanting to confess his feelings, but when she got close to Shen Jiheng, he treated her like she was invisible.
At that time, Han Xi couldn't understand why Shen Jiheng was so cold to her, but now she realized there was a problem.
Bo Siye let out a long sigh. He knew that the truth would eventually come out, and Han Xi would find out sooner or later.
Han Xi frowned when she saw the sadness in his eyes and asked, "Si Ye, answer me, are all my guesses true? You didn't do anything during those years."
If Bo Siye nods in agreement, it would mean that he has been deceiving Han Xi from the very beginning.
Under Han Xi's gaze, he nodded: "I'm sorry, I deliberately got close to him back then to get into the same school. I was very jealous to see such a beautiful and outstanding person like him."
The word "jealousy" sounds so out of place coming from the mouth of a gentle and refined person.
The main reason was that when Han Xi recalled those scenes, she felt like she was a complete idiot.
"So you've been deceiving my feelings all along. You've never expressed my feelings to Shen Jiheng, or... you've even deliberately sabotaged it."
Han Xi recalled how, when she married into the Shen family, Shen Jiheng had always been full of contempt and had never given her a kind look.
In Shen Jiheng's eyes, she was a vain and fickle woman.
Only now do I realize that everything stemmed from Bo Siye.
"Han Xi, the person I've wronged the most in my life is you. I don't want someone as outstanding as you to be with him, so I'm announcing in the dorm that you're my girlfriend."
"No wonder!!"
Han Xi felt as if something had squeezed her heart, causing her silent, sharp pain.
She never imagined that Bo Siye would deceive her.
If Shen Qingzhou hadn't revealed the whole story, Han Xi would still be in the dark.
What she cared about was the most sincere and pure feelings she had back then, which were ruthlessly destroyed by the person she trusted most.
"I'm so sorry. If you had liked someone else, I would have tied that person up to you even if I had to. But you chose the person I hate the most."
“I am innocent, you shouldn’t impose your hatred on me.”
That was Han Xi's youth, which she could never return to; no one had the right to change it.
This man, who claimed to be doing it for her own good, was deceiving her from beginning to end.
Han Xi even felt that she could see through the person in front of her more and more.
I used to think he was the most innocent, but now I realize he's the most complicated.
Bo Siye looked apologetic: "I know you will hate me, and I am willing to spend my whole life making up for the mistakes I have made."
That's why he's been so good to me all these years—it's to atone for my sins.
Han Xi shook his head; these mistakes were irreparable.
"This matter ends here. Shen Qingzhou said that you only sought revenge because he unintentionally caused your father's death."
Bo Siye knew that his feud with Han Xi was a done deal and could not be changed, and his hatred for the Shen family would not change either.
“Shen Qingzhou is lying. He deliberately killed my father. You know that the older generation had grudges against each other, so he always wanted to compete with my father, but he lost every time, so he resorted to dirty tricks.”
If Han Xi had known about his feud with the Shen family back then, he would have stayed far away and avoided getting involved.
"That's why you're now giving them a taste of their own medicine."
Bo Siye said fiercely, "This is far from enough. Back then, he bribed my father's assistant to steal the chip technology, which is why Shen Family Technology is where it is today. Even our finances are their people. They embezzled all the company's assets and left my father with huge debts."
Hearing this, Han Xi understood why he used the same tactics to harm Shen Qingzhou—he wanted her to experience the pain that Bo's father had suffered back then.
Bo Siye gritted her teeth and said, "My father had no money to pay off his debts at the time. He sold all his assets but still couldn't cover the hole."
Bo Siyue's face was filled with despair. He looked out the window and said desperately, "He could only scrape together money from all over the place. He took our family of three and hid in an abandoned factory. It was Shen Qingzhou who deliberately leaked our location, which led to the vicious creditors coming to our door."
Even the strongest person has moments of vulnerability. Han Xi saw the tears glistening in his eyes and could imagine how desperate he had been back then.
“I have witnessed Shen Qingzhou’s shamelessness firsthand; this is indeed something he is capable of doing.”
Bo Siye choked up as he said, "There were dozens of people demanding repayment of debts at the time. My father was driven to the brink of despair and had no choice but to jump off the building. I saw Shen Qingzhou among the crowd of debt collectors. Many years later, I found out that he was the one who brought the man there."
Han Xi felt a heavy weight in his heart and asked, "So you tried every means to kill him?"
Bo Siye clenched his fist and replied, "Yes, of course I can't let my enemy go. I tried every means to kill him, but he ended up hiding abroad."
This explains why Shen Qingzhou abandoned the well-established Shen Group and chose to leave his wife and children to go abroad.
It turned out that his life was threatened, which forced him to leave.
Presumably, he had committed too many evil deeds and dared not let his family know, so he could only choose to escape.
"He wronged you, and I have no objection to you taking revenge on him, as long as you don't hurt innocent people."
“Every wrong has its perpetrator, and every debt its debtor. I only deal with my enemies, and you are an accident in this matter. I am truly sorry.”
Bo Siye bowed deeply to express his apology.
Han Xi sighed. There were many problems between her and Shen Jiheng, and it wasn't just because of this.
"I will verify what you said, and if I find that you have lied to me..."
"What will you do? Help Shen Jiheng deal with me?"
“If you use me to hurt innocent people, I will not forgive you.”
Bo Siye looked at her without saying a word. If Han Xi knew what he had done, she would definitely want to kill him!
Han Xi walked to the door and looked back at him again, "Also, please don't go near my aunt anymore, and leave the Gu family alone."
Although he kept saying that he did not harm innocent people, did he not have other purposes in approaching Ding Shan?
Han Xi did not believe this.
Bo Siye lowered his head to express his apology: "I'm sorry!" But there was no remorse in his eyes. He knew from the beginning that if he wanted revenge, some people would have to be sacrificed.
Han Xi sighed and walked to the side of the road. She looked up and saw Shen Jiheng leaning against her car door. His expression was complicated, with anger on his face, but even more so, heartache.
When Shen Jiheng saw Han Xi, he walked up to her. When he got to her, before Han Xi could speak, he suddenly hugged her tightly.
There are many things that Shen Jiheng really didn't know, and only now does he realize how much precious things he has missed.
