Ye Junli was stunned by my words. After a long while, he opened his mouth and asked, "Zhou Xiang, do you know what you're saying?"
"Zhou Xiang, what about your brother's revenge? Who are you going to report to? " Ye Junli asked me sharply.
"Ye Junli, tell me, is Xiao Nian's death related to you?" My eyes grew blurry, but I forced myself to stare into Ye Junli's beautiful eyes.
Ye Junli's words once again threw me into confusion. He was right, killing Xiao Nian did not benefit him at all. Could it be that all of this was a coincidence?
After thinking about it, the only person who can use this method to take revenge on me is Hei Baozi. He is a man without any plans and is used to committing evil everyday, so I am afraid that he does not put these things in his eyes.
Suddenly, an idea popped into my mind, causing my heart to turn cold.
According to Ye Junli, he and Madam Ye had never been on good terms, and Liu Rui had only established a firm foundation in the Ye Family because she was involved in the affair, and Hei Baozi just so happened to be Madam Ye's family member.
But when I thought about how she cried in front of Xiao Nian's tombstone that day, I couldn't help but feel that it wasn't fake at all.
"What is it? What are you thinking about? " Ye Junli's cold voice suddenly sounded in my ear.
I looked at him. His eyes were still filled with the familiar indifference. I felt that it was laughable. How could I expect him to treat me sincerely?
I was never the most special one.
I gently closed my eyes, wishing I could just go to sleep and not wake up.
I fell asleep in a daze. I didn't know when Ye Junli called the doctor over, but he kept tossing and turning over my body. I could hear Ye Junli conversing with the doctor, but I couldn't hear him clearly.
When I woke up, I was already completely awake. I wasn't as muddled as I was before. I opened my eyes, but didn't see Ye Junli.
I turned and saw the hot water and the medicine on the bed. I tested the temperature of the water in the glass and knew he had not been gone for long.
To me, Ye Junli was like a sandwich of chocolate. On the surface, he looked so sweet and alluring that I couldn't help but want to get close to him, but I didn't know what was really in the cup. I couldn't help but retreat.
I looked at the description before taking the medicine. I got out of bed and went to the bathroom. I washed my face briefly, then looked up at my pale face in the mirror. I suddenly felt very tired.
After all these years, I have always been with Xiao Nian, supporting him through life. But suddenly, there's someone missing by my side, how can I get used to it?
Just as I was in a daze, I suddenly heard a sound from outside. I curiously went out and saw Ye Junli returning.
"You're awake?" he asked me, naturally.
I was a little doubtful and asked, "Why are you …"
He showed me the bag in his hand. "I'm going out to buy food. You can't possibly be sick and still have nothing to eat."
I was really shocked by him. Logically speaking, a person of Ye Junli's background shouldn't personally go out to buy things when he has been in power for a long time. Even if he really wanted to give me something to eat, he should have asked his subordinates to buy something.
"What is it? You think I shouldn't do this? " Ye Junli saw that I didn't have any reaction, so he asked.
When I came back to my senses, I couldn't help but admire Ye Junli for his ability. Many times, as long as I was in a daze, he would be able to accurately guess what I was thinking.
"I am not as noble as you think," Ye Junli spoke out. "Actually, Ye Junqing is right, I am just an illegitimate child."
My heart skipped a beat and I subconsciously looked at his expression.
Ye Junli waved the food he bought while continuing, "When Ye Junqing said those three words that day, I was so angry because he was speaking the truth. Humans always subconsciously avoid the ugliest facts, and I was no exception."
"So?" I walked over to him and looked at him. "What are you afraid of?" With your current status, others will not care about what your background was. The victor is the king, and you are already the winner. "
"You're wrong, Zhou Xiang." He stopped what he was doing, "I am actually not what you think I am, being able to successfully take over Ye's is not because of how outstanding I am, but because Ye Sheng's other two sons are too useless, I am just a sacrifice he made after weighing the pros and cons, which is not perfect, so he gave them three shares to restrict me. On the surface, I look like the victor, but I am only their tool, an excellent tool to manage the company."
This is the first time I've heard Ye Junli speak in such a tone, and there was even a hint of hatred in the coldness. Previously, when Ye Junli was enraged, he still had a cold gaze towards Liu Rui, whether it was towards him or towards Ye Junqing, but when he spoke of these things, deep hatred could be seen in his eyes.
"So?" Is that why you want to help me and you want to help yourself? " He asked.
Ye Junli looked at me and didn't answer me directly. Instead, he lightly said, "You will understand in the future."
I suddenly felt that this man was not as glorious as he appeared to be. He had his own helplessness and sorrow, even more so, which suddenly gave rise to a great resonance between us, making me feel that the distance between us might not be as great as I had imagined.
Ye Junli, this man is like a poison that reeks of sweetness. The closer they get, the more attractive they are. I don't know how many women's lives would be destroyed by him, but I believe that they would be extremely happy. At this moment, I suddenly felt that if only he was really as special to me as he said he was.
