"It's too late to admit your wrongs now."

The night was silent, and the sky was so dark that not a single star could be seen.

Ye Zichen looked at his boss in confusion. Ever since he bumped into that woman in the bar, his boss seemed to have changed.

He would be in a daze from time to time, and from time to time, he would be alone, deep in thought. He always had a preoccupied look on his face. Furthermore, the boss had never allowed women to participate in business discussions, yet this time, he made an exception.

The cool night breeze made him sober. In this lifetime, there was nothing that he could not obtain. Everything was just a matter of time.

He suddenly curled his lips into a cold smile.

Xia Jing decided to ignore Shen Ruo Bai.

This man had been presumptuous, challenging her bottom line time and time again. She could not forgive him that easily.

No matter how Shen Ruo Bai coaxed her, no matter how much he swore, he would never force her again. It was still useless, she just angrily turned his face to the side, not looking at him, not speaking to him at all.

She was going to treat him like air.

Shen Ruo Bai helplessly put her in the car, and after driving for around 10 hours, he brought her back to the Old Hall of Xia Family.

"What, didn't you always want to come back to take a look? Now that you're back, why aren't you getting out of the car?" Shen Ruo Bai had given up smoking because of Xia Jing, and it had been several years since he had last touched a cigarette in front of Xia Jing. However, he lit up a cigarette and continued smoking with a frustrated look on his face. Just like the irritable look on his face whenever Xia Jing begged him to bring her back here.

Xia Jing choked on the cigarette smoke as she coughed. She did not understand why Shen Ruo Bai would unrestrainedly reject her every time he begged her to bring her back to the Old Hall of Xia Family. Was it because he did not want her to remember those old and sad things, or was it because he did not want to remember those old and sad things.

But in the end, the one who was in trouble was Xia Family, and she was a nostalgic person. Even though the former Xia Family was no longer here, she still wished to return and see.

She looked at Shen Ruo Bai and then opened the car door and got out.

Shen Ruo Bai followed her down the stairs. He had finished the cigarette in the car and lit another one.

"Stop smoking." Xia Jing impatiently glanced at him. She had always hated the smell of smoke, and Shen Ruo Bai had obviously quit smoking as well.

Seeing that Xia Jing's face was ugly, Shen Ruo Bai's face became gloomy, and the cigarette in her hand was extinguished.

Xia Family's villa had long been abandoned and turned into ruins. Due to the loss of human life here, no one came to develop this area. Back then, the great fire had burnt all of Xia Family.

Xia Jing had lived here for more than ten years. Even though she had already lived a life of ruin, she still remembered where her family's main gate was.

She walked through the weeds that were half the height of a person and finally found a doorstep. Back then, it was here that Lin Xiu had thrown her out of the weeds in order to save her life. Her eyes suddenly turned red. She squatted down and touched the black marks on her body. With tears flowing down her cheeks, she laughed. "I'm going home. I'm really going home."

Shen Ruo Bai looked at her coldly, then raised his head to look at the ruins. His cold eyes seemed to flash with a trace of hatred.

Xia Jing was still grieving. It had been five years since she left this place, and it had been five years since she left her parents.

She had thought that this place might have already been developed, that everything might have changed, and she might not be able to find any traces of the past anymore. But what she did not expect was that all the remnants of Xia Family's villa were still preserved.

She suddenly thought of something and dashed into the ruins, past the weeds, past the ruins on the ground. Relying on her memories, she rushed into a burnt house, desperately pulling out the weeds on top of it, desperately trying to get rid of everything that covered it, and her hands were soon pricked by the thorns on the weeds until they were bleeding profusely.

"Are you crazy?" Shen Ruo Bai suddenly grabbed her hand. Seeing the dark bloodstains on her hand, his face was already filled with tears. "Father … Mother... "My parents are down there …"

The fire in Xia Family was extremely sudden. Other than her, who had already gone to sleep, everyone else had caught fire. Other than his, who had been rescued by Lin Xiu who had rushed into the courtyard in time, her parents and countless of servants in Xia Family had all died.

She didn't even see the remains of her parents.

She was truly an unfilial daughter. Her parents would definitely blame her for coming back after so many years, right? He would definitely blame her.

The more Xia Jing cried, the more hurt she felt. Shen Ruo Bai carried her in his arms, pressed her head against his chest and sighed.

"No, they're down there. Ruobai, they're down there." Xia Jing pitifully raised her head to look at him and Shen Ruo Bai gently wiped her tears before saying indifferently: "Xiao Jing, let's go back. Let the past pass, and do not bring it up again. "

He had always been unwilling to let her return because he did not want her to recall the past events. The grievances and grudges he felt in the Xia Family, since the two elders of the Xia Family had already passed away, it should end now.

All of this had nothing to do with him, or Xiao Jing.

"No." Xia Jing pushed him away forcefully, squatting on the ground in pain, "You simply don't understand how I feel, you simply don't understand what it feels like to be a happy family, to suddenly become broken into pieces, this is my home, this is the place that once gave me happiness and happiness, I have feelings for this place, I can't let it go, it only exists in my memories. Those scenes, those fires, I can still clearly remember them now."

Many memories from the past were brought up, not something that could be passed over simply by saying a few words. It was not something that could be left unmentioned.

"Then what do you want?" Shen Ruo Bai suddenly became impatient and roared, "Do you think that only you have tasted that kind of feeling? A good family has suddenly become fragmented. Do you think that only you have experienced it? "

Shen Ruo Bai wanted to say more, but when Xia Jing looked at him in shock, he stopped herself.
