After Ye Xi said that, there was a long silence between the two of them.
Ye Xi sat on the sofa again and did not look at Ye Jinfan again.
After a long silence, Ye Jinfan finally said: "In the final analysis, you just want me to stop fighting with Huo Jinxi, and you want me to give up everything and leave Tongcheng with you."
"Yes!" Ye Xi said bluntly, "That's what I think. So what? Can you do it?"
"You know I can't do it!" Ye Jinfan said coldly.
"Okay." Ye Xi said, "Since I don't want to live the life you want to live, and you don't want to live the life I want to live, then what's the point of continuing like this? End it, brother, from now on, we all
Stop tormenting each other."
Ye Jinfan slowly closed his eyes, but his face was still livid, as if he was trying to calm down his emotions.
"Then from now on, you may have nothing, and you don't care about days like this?" After a long time, Ye Jinfan whispered again.
Ye Xi stretched out her hand, covered her eyes, chuckled, and then said: "What else do you think I have? Dad, mom, Qianqian, children... I have lost them all...
I have lost everything a long time ago, and all of this is because of you! I can’t continue like this, I absolutely can’t continue like this..."
After Ye Jinfan heard this, he also laughed and said, "Then I am indeed guilty of a heinous crime, am I not?"
"No, it's not you." Ye Xi said, "It's me. Everything is my own fault. So to this day, I never dare to blame anyone. I just want to change my life and live in a way that makes me happy...
"
"What about me?" Ye Jinfan said, "From now on, you won't care about me at all?"
"Yes, I don't care anymore." Ye Xi said, "I just hope that for the sake of my parents and our past friendship, you can help me and make me happier for the rest of my life, okay?"
Ye Jinfan fell into silence again.
After Ye Xi sat quietly for a while, she stood up again, opened the door and walked out.
The bodyguard at the door originally wanted to stop her, but seeing Ye Xi's determined expression and Ye Jinfan not making any statement, he finally put down his hand.
Ye Xi left the bedroom without looking back and walked into a guest room.
But Ye Jinfan was still lying quietly on the bed that originally belonged to her, motionless for a long time.
After seeing each other for several months, it seemed that something was really different about her.
Before that, he had never thought that she would say these words to him, or that he had never cared about what she said to him.
As she said, he will always feel that she is still the little girl before who has no self, no opinion, and can only rely on him. No matter what kind of emotions she has, he can always coax her with a few words, even if she changed her mind in the first place.
Even if she strongly opposed such a big matter as Mu Qian's child at the beginning, she could not overcome him in the end.
Therefore, in his perception, she should be such an obedient and well-behaved existence.
But since when did that little girl who would always only listen to his words begin to follow him on two more and more diverging paths?
…
While Ye Jinfan was recuperating at home, the investigation team's investigation into Chen Haifei and him was still proceeding in an orderly manner.
For Chen Haifei, the task force naturally searched for more information, but for Ye Jinfan, it seemed to be a little stalled.
Rong Heng was located in the same office building as the task force here in Tongcheng, so he naturally received the news quickly. One day, after he took half a day to visit his grandparents in Huai City, he received even more detailed information.
"Chen Haifei can't stand up this time." Rong Heng said to Huo Jinxi at the dining table of the Huo family mansion, "He has been too arrogant in the past few years and has offended too many people. No one is willing to protect him, let alone find out
No one can keep those things that he has. Now everyone who has cooperated with him is trembling with fear, fearing that the fire will burn them. If they really want to investigate, they don’t know how many shady things they can uncover.
Where’s the stuff?”
Huo Jinxi was not surprised by this, "He has been running rampant in Haicheng for so many years, and the time has indeed come to an end."
Rong Heng thought of Huo Jinxi's previous dealings with Mu Qinchuan and couldn't help but said: "This matter has something to do with Mu Qinchuan. That's why, second brother, you can be so accurate and let Ye Jinfan step into that pit-"
Huo Jinxi did not deny it.
"But that pit is really deep." Rong Heng said, "The news from Huai City is that the project will be stopped for at least three to five years. The stakes inside must be clearly investigated before it is over.
In this way, all the money invested in the project was wasted, and Ye Jinfan must have suffered a lot, right?"
"It's not much." Huo Jinxi said, "It's just a few billion, and besides, it's all money taken from rich people."
"That's enough for him." Rong Heng said, "Those invisible rich people have some clean methods, otherwise they wouldn't have handed over their wasted money to them... Europe suffered a loss before.
Bi, this time I lost a fortune here in Haicheng, I don’t think Ye Jinfan’s life will be easy in the future.”
After hearing this, Huo Jinxi said calmly: "Do you feel uncomfortable now? What will you do next?"
Rong Heng suddenly raised his eyebrows and wanted to ask something, but stopped abruptly and said, "I don't want to ask, I can't ask. I'm just out of curiosity, so I came here to gossip. The rest is none of my business."
Huo Jinxi took a sip of wine and said nothing more.
…
After four days of recuperation at home, Ye Jinfan was ready to return to the Lu family with a serious injury that had not yet healed.
Naturally, none of the bodyguards around him dared to persuade him, and Ye Xi, the only one in the house who could persuade him, had been treating him as a transparent person for several days.
After the dispute that day, the two seemed to have fallen into a cold war.
Ye Xi couldn't leave the house, and she didn't go into the room to see Ye Jinfan. She read, planted flowers, and cooked for herself every day, and she seemed content with herself.
Ye Jinfan, on the other hand, lay in bed every day to recuperate. It was only on the third day that he could finally get up. When he went downstairs, he happened to see Ye Xi who was about to finish his meal.
Seeing him coming downstairs, Ye Xi was still eating her food quietly without looking at him again.
Ye Jinfan said: "When did you learn to cook? You only cook every meal for yourself, and you don't consider me? Have you learned how to make soup? I want to drink soup..."
Ye Xi didn't respond even a word to him. She quickly finished her meal, put away the dishes and walked into the kitchen.
Just at this moment, Ye Jinfan was getting ready to go out, and she was taking care of the flowers in the garden, without even looking at him.
Ye Jinfan got into the car and turned to look out the window. He saw her lowering her head and playing with a pot of flowers in front of her attentively. She never raised her head until the car drove out of the gate of Ye's villa.
