Only after her death did I realize that she was the white moonlight of a billionaire CEO.

Chapter 50 The Evil Capitalist

"Don't you think that if my affair with Xie Xingyun gets out, it will be a family scandal?"

"Xie Jiaoyue is such a smart woman, she knows that if this gets out, the whole Xie family will lose face."

"She should have told Xie Mingzong and his wife about this and asked them to handle it discreetly. Instead, she insisted on bringing it up in front of you."

"Jiang Qingkong, you think you're incredibly clever, but you never considered that every move you make is exactly what Xie Jiaoyue expected."

Noticing that Jiang Qingkong's body was no longer so stiff, and that she had clearly taken his words to heart, Li Xi released her.

Jiang Qingkong turned and leaned against the wall, asking Li Xi with a somewhat bewildered look, "What do you mean by all this? Do you think Xie Jiaoyue is using me to deal with you?"

Li Xi scoffed, "You can still understand human language, so it seems you're not completely stupid."

"Jiang Qingkong, you haven't had an easy time in the Xie family since you married Xie Xingyun, have you? Is Zhang Xiang still blaming you for drugging me and ruining Xie Xingyun's reputation?"

"And you blame me for giving them the opportunity to extort 30 million from them?"

Jiang Qingkong looked frustrated; Li Xi had actually guessed correctly.

"Did you install surveillance cameras at the Xie family's house?" Otherwise, how would you know so much?

"Why would we need to install surveillance cameras?" Li Xi found it laughable. "I've lived in the Xie family for over ten years, and I know the true nature of the Xie family."

“The Xie Mingzong couple will never think that their child is at fault; they will only push all the blame onto you, onto me, the victim.”

Jiang Qingkong admitted that Li Xi was right, but she wouldn't think good of Li Xi because of it. "Don't think that just because we said these things, we're friends on the same side."

"Li Xi, I am where I am today because of you! If you hadn't forced my father to match me with Xie Xingyun, I would have broken off the engagement with Xie Xingyun long ago."

“I am the daughter of the Jiang family. I can live a very happy life without getting married. It was you who pushed me into the Xie family and made me suffer all of this.”

"So what?" Li Xi said boldly. "I really can't rest easy if I make you marry Xie Xingyun."

"I just want to watch you fight with the Xie family dogs."

Li Xi looked completely innocent and said, "You're the one who hurt me first. Jiang Qingkong, your plan failed, so you have to accept the punishment."

"Making you marry Xie Xingyun and live happily with the Xie family is my revenge on you."

Li Xi's overly frank attitude left Jiang Qingkong speechless.

Li Xi suddenly put her arm around Jiang Qingkong's shoulder and softened her tone, "Although it was immoral of you to drug me at the engagement banquet, I can understand it."

"After all, you love Xie Xingyun too much, and I just happen to be his nominal sister."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Qingkong stared at Li Xi as if she had seen a ghost, and goosebumps rose all over her body.

Jiang Qingkong subconsciously touched the wig on her forehead; she could still clearly remember the fear she felt back then.

"You shaved my head just a few days ago, and now you're pretending to be a good guy in front of me? Li Xi, just say what you want to say, don't try to sweet-talk me!"

Upon hearing this, Li Xi released Jiang Qingkong.

"I have no intention of pretending to be a good person." She leaned against the wall, arms crossed, and stated bluntly, "I'm saying this because I know you were manipulated by Xie Jiaoyue."

"Xie Jiaoyue knows how deep your love for Xie Xingyun is. She deliberately revealed Xie Xingyun's relationship with me in front of you to induce you to target me."

"Because of love, you are easily overcome by jealousy, so you risked everything to drug me."

"But what did you get after things were exposed?"

"It's your parents who are utterly disappointed in you, and it's the Xie family's cold stares and ridicule towards you."

Li Xi leaned closer to Jiang Qingkong, staring into Jiang Qingkong's eyes that seemed to see right through her, and said, "Jiang Qingkong, you should know who is the one who is really using you."

“I’m targeting you, I’m openly doing this. But some people hide in the shadows, they don’t need to do anything, they just need to whisper in your ear and they can frame you for being unrighteous and immoral.”

“Jiang Qingkong.” Li Xi tapped Jiang Qingkong’s forehead, reminding her, “You should figure out who is the one who really harmed you.”

After saying that, Li Xi left.

Jiang Qingkong and Xie Jiaoyue have always had a good relationship, so she must have something on Xie Jiaoyue.

I believe the fire she started today will soon ignite between Jiang Qingkong and Xie Jiaoyue.

Seeing Li Xi return with a joyful expression, Gu Zhen got up to greet her.

Staring at the triumphant smile on her lips, as if she had won a battle, Gu Zhen asked, "Who did you run into in the restroom?"

"Jiang Qingkong".

Fearing that Gu Zhen might not remember this person, Li Xi reminded him: "It's Miss Jiang who drugged me at the engagement banquet."

Gu Zhen frowned and asked with concern, "Did you two have a fight? And you won?" Otherwise, you wouldn't be laughing so happily.

"That's it."

Li Xi was a little hungry. She rubbed her stomach and asked, "How many tables are left?"

"It'll be another half hour, I guess." Worried that Li Xi might get bored, Gu Zhen suggested, "How about some milk tea? Waiting like this is boring, let's go buy some milk tea."

"Okay."

The milk tea shop was located in the opposite shop on the same floor. The two walked around the mall and arrived at the milk tea shop.

Gu Zhen ordered two cups of brown sugar ginger tea, one for himself and one for Li Xi.

Li Xi was somewhat surprised. She said, "I rarely see boys drinking this."

Gu Zhen explained, "Actually, this is my first time drinking milk tea."

"First time?" Li Xi was extremely surprised. "When you came to the mall before, didn't you drink these?"

Gu Zhen actually said, "I've never been to a shopping mall like this before."

Li Xi looked at Gu Zhen as if he were a primitive man.

Pointing to Gu Zhen's clothes, Li Xi asked curiously, "You've never been shopping, so all these clothes you're wearing were bought online?"

"I rarely shop online." The only times I've done so were to buy cat toys for Patrick Star.

Gu Zhen told Li Xi, "Every quarter, the brand will find a model with a similar body shape to me to try on the clothes and then send me the video."

"I just need to write down the numbers of the clothes the mannequin is wearing, and they will send them to me."

After a pause, Gu Zhen added, "I don't really like face-to-face contact with people."

That's why he never goes shopping.

Li Xi was stunned.

Damn rich people!

"Why aren't you saying anything?" Gu Zhen looked at Li Xi with a puzzled expression. "Do you think my life is boring?"

Li Xi smiled, revealing eight pearly white teeth. "How could that be? The boring days you speak of are the luxurious days I could never even dream of."

"Tell me more about your life, so I can gather more material for my dreams. I'm afraid my dreams will be too short, and I'll wake up before I've had my fill."

Gu Zhen suspected that Li Xi was implying something about him, "...Don't laugh at me."

Li Xi said seriously, "I'm serious, I'm quite interested in your life, tell me more about it."

Since the end of "Seven Days of Nightmare", Li Xi has been in a state of creative drought, but now she has a new inspiration.

She wanted to create a new story based on Gu Zhen, and she even had a name in mind: "Mr. 2301".

"Are you interested in my life?" Gu Zhen's gaze deepened.

Being interested in his life is the same as being interested in him, isn't it?
