Chapter 8: Ji Li Did This to You
Qin Zhiruo suddenly raised her head, staring fiercely at Mu Jinhang. "For Qin Xi, you are so heartless towards me that you would send me to prison? What makes her worthy of your love? She doesn't compare to me at all!"
"In my heart, she surpasses countless others," Mu Jinhang replied without hesitation.
Qin Xi's heart trembled, and she dared not look at him, fearing that a single glance would plunge her back into an abyss from which she could not escape.
Five years ago, she had already learned her lesson!
But Qin Zhiruo burst into laughter, her voice sharp and piercing. "Mu Jinhang, you really are a lovesick fool! It's been five years—five whole years—and you still haven't forgotten Qin Xi. You won't even touch me, not even when I stand before you naked. Ha! Now you understand why I seek out other men? It's all because your eyes only have room for Qin Xi!"
She laughed maniacally and twistedly, suddenly looking at Mu Jinhang with a sympathetic gaze. "But what good does that do? My dear sister doesn’t love you! Haha, Mu Jinhang, you're as pitiful as I am!"
Mu Jinhang's expression darkened, covered by a thick layer of frost, and the chill emanating from him made Qin Xi's heart race involuntarily.
Qin Zhiruo couldn't help but shiver as well, but she quickly turned her attention back to Qin Xi, revealing a strange smile.
"Sister, let me tell you something interesting. Back then, when you were lying in the hotel with Ji Li, it was actually his design; I was just an accomplice."
Qin Xi's heart tightened suddenly, instinctively denying it. "Impossible! Ji Li wouldn't do something like that..."
"But that's exactly what he did!" Qin Zhiruo interrupted sharply, her face growing increasingly twisted with jealousy. "He was the one who approached me first and asked for my cooperation! In the end, he washed his hands of it all and married you abroad while I got nothing! Since that's the case, then no one gets to have it easy! My dear sister, I'm telling you clearly now: the one who caused your breakup with Mu Jinhang back then was Ji Li!"
"I don't believe it," Qin Xi said, her face slightly pale. "Ji Li has always treated me well and has never done anything to hurt me. I won't take your word for it."
"You are hopelessly foolish, still believing he is a good person! Mu Jinhang, did you hear that? The woman you like doesn't like you back; she'd rather favor a man who caused your breakup! Hahaha!"
Qin Zhiruo's manic laughter echoed in the hospital corridor as she was dragged out by the bodyguards, sending chills down Qin Xi's spine.
Mu Jinhang's expression darkened as he coldly instructed his secretary, "Find out about Qin Zhiruo's claims."
"Understood," the secretary replied before leaving the room.
Qin Xi frowned at Mu Jinhang. "This must be nonsense from Qin Zhiruo. Ji Li wouldn't hurt me; you don't need to waste your time investigating."
"You are scared," Mu Jinhang pierced through her innermost thoughts with precision. "If you truly believed in Ji Li, you'd let me investigate without hesitation. You wouldn't feel the need to reassure me, which means you don't fully trust him, do you?"
"No!" Qin Xi's face paled further. "I believe in him; he would never do something so despicable!"
"What exactly makes Ji Li so trustworthy in your eyes? And what about me? Why don't you believe that I love you? I can offer you more happiness than Ji Li ever could!"
"You only force me, hurt me, and doubt me. How can I trust you?" Qin Xi recalled the pain this man had brought her years ago, her eyes welling up with tears. "Mu Jinhang, you're ridiculous! No matter how I explained back then, you refused to listen. What does it matter now if you investigate?"
Smack!
Mu Jinhang finally lost control and swept a cup off the table, water splattering everywhere.
Was he, in Qin Xi's heart, also transformed into a meaningless existence?
