Separated by a table, Xia Yu and Ming Ruowei sat facing each other. Ming Ruowei's current situation seemed to be much better, not as agitated as the last time, as she was unable to control her emotions.
"What do you want to say to me?" Xia Yu immediately said, and looked towards Ming Ruowei.
Ming Ruowei smiled brilliantly, her face looked haggard.
"You really came."
Her light eyes narrowed as she leaned forward towards Xia Yu and said: "If Gong Qin knew you were here, he would definitely feel uncomfortable. Because of him …. I hate it when someone tries to pry into my back. This feeling of betrayal is not small at all. "
Xia Yu's expression was ice-cold, she did not make a sound.
"Of course I didn't call you here to talk about such nonsense."
Ming Ruowei sat up straight, her hand caressing the rim of the cup, her expression dim.
"Let's make an equal deal. I'll tell you about her, help me settle a matter!"
As expected, Ming Ruowei had her reasons, Xia Yu had thought about it before, but she could still hear what Ming Ruowei had to say, since she had the initiative.
Ming Ruowei's face became ugly, "At that time, you were my mother who asked for people to kidnap you."
Xia Yu remained silent, but when she thought about this matter, she clenched her fists tightly. That night, she still remembered clearly how Jiang Hua had treated her. When she returned, Xia Yu would definitely think of taking revenge, but the current her didn't have that kind of ability. Furthermore, if she relied on Gong Qin, then it would seem that she had too much of a heart.
"So?" Xia Yu casually looked at Ming Ruowei.
Ming Ruowei frowned, "I want you to help me take care of those who threatened her, and also prevent Gong Qin from discovering this matter."
After Xia Yu heard this, she chuckled.
"Is this why you called me here?"
"Right."
Xia Yu immediately wanted to get up. She had already endured for a long time, and still wanted her to help that woman? I'm sorry, but her heart doesn't seem to have improved that much.
"That woman is called Ye Yixia!"
Ming Ruowei anxiously spoke out, "The woman that Gong Qin cannot forget is called Ye Yixia."
Xia Yu's body stopped. She wanted to leave with large strides, but no matter what, she could not move her feet. She wanted to hear what Ming Ruowei had to say, wanted to know what was going on. What exactly was something that Gong Qin had never mentioned before?
Ye Yixia...
"The three of us were once good friends. Of course, because of the cooperation between the Venerable families, we are more closely linked to each other. And she was a truly well-matched young lady, of course. The only person that Gong Qin loves. " Ming Ruowei had a bitter smile on her face the moment she said this. Even after so many years had passed, she still hadn't forgotten.
The woman's smile, the woman's every move.
"Gong Qin... The person you love? "
Xia Yu was startled, this was the first time she had heard of this.
When she didn't understand what had happened, she had always thought that the person Gong Qin loved was Ming Ruowei, but now it seemed that it was not even close.
"Right."
Ming Ruowei nodded, "It's as if the two of them are made from heaven and understand each other. Even if they don't say a word, they would still know what the other is thinking. Ye Yixia is also terrifyingly clever, she knows what Gong Qin likes and doesn't like, she's also like the most perfect person, she won't let others find any mistakes in her. "
"She …" The best. "
That was why Ming Ruowei had risked her life to imitate her, learn her smile, learn her tone of voice, her style of doing things, wanting to disguise herself as the perfect Ye Yixia. She thought that this would allow Gong Qin to fall for her. But she never thought that Gong Qin was wrong in the end. It wasn't because she had a little bit of Ye Yixia's image, but because she would fall in love with her.
"But the heavens must be jealous of this kind of person. The most perfect person must not be allowed to appear …" So that year, a fire broke out. It was during the robbery, someone set a fire to burn Ye Yixia in the house. " When Ming Ruowei said till here, she revealed a sinister smile, as if she was very straightforward.
"From then on, Gong Qin has become the coldest of them all. No matter who they are to, they would never open their heart to them."
"He loves Ye Yixia, and he cannot forget her. Only those who have died will be able to deeply remember her, because that is a regret, a regret that can never be made up for …" Ming Ruowei said as she looked at Xia Yu. She got up and walked in front of Xia Yu, and the corner of her mouth hooked up. What a pitiful person, you do love Gong Qin, right? But it's a pity … You will always live in her shadow. "
"..."
Xia Yu didn't know what to say. After hearing about this, she couldn't react for a while.
Ye Yixia, does she really exist?
Ming Ruowei's eyes revealed seriousness. There was no need for her to lie, and there was also no need for her to deliberately fabricate such a story to deceive Xia Yu, as this would be completely meaningless. The more Xia Yu suffered, the more comfortable she felt in her heart. She wished that she could see Xia Yu being suspicious of everything that happened everyday.
"You will know that you are no match for her."
Ming Ruowei's smile was weak, "Even if Gong Qin likes you now and wants to protect you, but... He won't really fall in love with you. "
… ….
When Xia Yu left, she was still thinking about this.
"Ye Yixia..." She seemed to have heard this name somewhere before.
Xia Yu's expression was complex.
When they returned to the villa, Jung Ma could tell with one glance that something had happened to her out of her listless state.
"Miss Xia, what happened?"
"No..." Xia Yu shook her head, changed into slippers and walked in. After taking two steps, she suddenly stopped. Jung Ma had worked in Gong Jia for more than twenty years. If it was her, she would know.
"Jung Ma, do you know Ye Yixia?" Xia Yu asked.
When Jung Ma heard this name, her expression became stiff for a short moment, as if she had heard an unbelievable name.
"Why is Miss Xia … "I know …"
Indeed.
Ye Yixia existed, and what Ming Ruowei said was 80-90% correct. Ye Yixia and Gong Qin's relationship was extraordinary, and... She must have died in an accident.
"Nothing."
Xia Yu forced out a smile and retracted her thoughts.
What was she going to do with a dead man? Right now, the most important thing was to properly protect the relationship between him and Gong Qin, wasn't that enough? Gong Qin liked her and cared about her … That's enough.
When Xia Yu thought of this, she felt much more relaxed. She walked upstairs, preparing to retrieve the information that Gong Qin had left behind.
"Opening the door of the study room, you can see the neatly arranged bookshelves as well as the documents placed on the table." This should be it... " Xia Yu picked up a folder, and opened it to confirm.
She looked up, her eyes scanning the objects on the table. Her gaze fell on the calendar.
The calendar was blank except for a circle drawn in red on the date of the twenty-third.
October twenty-third.
"This is …"
