Before that, Ye Jinfan had already estimated almost all possibilities and provided the strictest protection to Ye Xi.
He did not underestimate the severity of Huo Jinxi's methods, but he still could not escape.
To a certain extent, Ye Jinfan had expected this day as early as when Huo Qiran's incident was exposed.
But when he actually faced a messy and empty room, he still lost control.
…
In a villa in a mountain villa on the outskirts of the city.
This is a house of some age, spacious and old. The furnishings in the house are extremely simple, with a huge living room and only one sofa.
At this moment, Ye Xi was sitting on the sofa, motionless.
Until someone took off the blindfold from her face.
In front of him was a strange room, with mottled floors and yellowing walls, so empty that it felt cold.
Outside the window, there is a lush forest, with no distinction between north and south.
No one talked to her.
The person behind her untied the blindfold from her eyes and quietly retreated to the side.
Ye Xi was not surprised or afraid. She sat on the sofa unusually quiet and calm, not asking who it was or why.
About half an hour later, the door of the villa opened and someone walked in from the outside.
Ye Xi slowly turned her head and saw Qi Yuan, whom she had met several times before.
Qi Yuan stepped forward slowly, stood in front of her, and looked at her calmly.
Before Qi Yuan could speak, Ye Xi spoke first: "How is Qianqian?"
Qi Yuan frowned slightly and did not answer.
"Please tell me, how is Qianqian?" Ye Xi asked stubbornly, "Is she... okay?"
"My wife is very good." Qi Yuan said, "After she recognized Qi Ran, she lived happily every day."
Ye Xi's eyes moved slightly, then dimmed again, returning to the look of a pool of stagnant water, and whispered: "That's good, that's good..."
"I'm here to tell Miss Ye that we have no ill intentions in inviting Miss Ye here." Qi Yuan said, "As Mrs. Huo's best friend, Miss Ye sees you being shackled, so we are willing to lend a helping hand.
"
Ye Xi listened without any hesitation and twitched her lips with some difficulty.
How could she not know why she was here?
How Ye Jinfan treated Mu Qian, Huo Jinxi was ready to take revenge on Ye Jinfan.
They took Huo Qiran away from Mu Qian, and Huo Jinxi took her away from Ye Jinfan.
Perhaps, only in this way can Ye Jinfan experience the pain of loss and let him taste the feeling of self-inflicted pain.
But to her, none of this mattered.
"It doesn't matter." Ye Xi said, "It doesn't make any difference to me where I stay."
Her reaction made Qi Yuan slightly surprised.
After all, they had brought her here by force this time. He originally thought that she would at least resist a little, but he didn't expect that she would just obey.
In this way, things seemed to be justifiable, and Qi Yuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"If Miss Ye needs anything, just ask." Qi Yuan said, "We will try our best to satisfy Miss Ye."
After hearing this, Ye Xi's eyes moved again and said slowly: "What if I said, I want to meet Qianqian?"
After Qi Yuan heard this, he fell silent for a moment and did not answer.
At the end, Ye Xi lowered her eyes and smiled, and said in a low voice: "It doesn't matter, I just said it. I know she doesn't want to see me, it doesn't matter... Don't worry, I won't mess around, and I won't cause you any trouble...
"
Qi Yuan listened and fell silent for a moment without speaking.
Ye Xi then said again: "What do you want me to do by bringing me here?"
Qi Yuan looked at her pale and bloodless face, and for some reason he couldn't say the words that rushed to his lips.
"You tell me." Ye Xi said, "I know that Huo Jinxi doesn't just want me to live here properly, right?"
Qi Yuan took a deep breath and said, "Mr. Huo hopes that you can stand up and testify against Ye Jinfan's crimes."
Hearing these words, Ye Xi's expression changed slightly uncontrollably.
"You know the best about everything Ye Jinfan did. He designed to betray our young master; he hired murderers to cause an accident, causing you to have a car accident and your life was hanging by a thread; and he faked your death and set up a fake
Identity...no one knows these better than you."
"Yes, no one knows better than me..." Ye Xi murmured.
"Maybe you can't make a decision at the moment." Qi Yuan said, "It doesn't matter, I will give you time to think about it. Whether you want to or not is your own choice. No one will force you."
Ye Xi lowered her head, staring at the floor in front of her absentmindedly, and didn't speak for a long time.
Qi Yuan did not stay any longer and left here quickly.
It was long after he left that Ye Xi came back to her senses and let out a strange chuckle.
Yes, she was also a participant in the incident of Huo Qiran being swapped. How could Huo Jinxi let her go so easily?
Ye Jinfan will be punished, and she will also be punished.
And Huo Jinxi knew very well what constituted punishment for her.
He gave her space, time, and choices, but all this brought her was endless torture...
She was filled with guilt for Mu Qian, and this guilt made her willing to do anything to make up for it, but Huo Jinxi's request was to ask her to testify against Ye Jinfan.
Ye Jinfan, the person she hated and resented to the extreme...
She should have made her choice without hesitation.
However, she couldn't do it.
She couldn't testify against him.
But in this way, she will never be able to make up for what she owes Mu Qian——
This seems to be an endless loop with no solution.
