Qin Qingqing suddenly stood up.
Her grip on the phone tightened a few notches.
She looked coldly into Shi Xi’s smug and mocking eyes, slowly calming the emotions in her heart, a slight smile appearing on her stunning face.
Shi Xi was baffled by her smile.
She frowned and asked coldly, "Why are you smiling? Am I wrong?"
"So what if you are right?"
Qingqing softly closed her eyes.
She looked at her indifferently, "If I wanted to fight you for Brother Ziyi, I wouldn’t care about the past. Shi Xi, instead of constantly guarding against , you’d be better off focusing on how to capture Brother Ziyi’s heart."
She pursed her lips, took a breath, and continued, "If you want to be with Brother Ziyi, you had better not provoke . I have always had a bad temper, and if you make unhappy, I’ll make sure you’re even more unhappy."
"How did I make you unhappy?"
Shi Xi’s expression changed.
This version of Qin Qingqing made her uneasy.
Maybe she had been around Mo Ziye for too long; for a mont, she felt a sense of Mo Ziye’s imposing aura emanating from her.
"Just like earlier."
Qin Qingqing pointed out clearly.
Her earlier words had made her very unhappy.
"I was telling the truth."
Shi Xi argued for herself.
She was from the Imperial City, although Qin Qingqing’s registered household was also the Imperial City, she wasn’t born and bred there; she grew up in G City.
Shi Xi felt a sense of superiority in this aspect.
Moreover, her grandfather and grandfather had already retired, and her father was just a businessman.
Different from their Shi Family.
Thinking of this, she straightened her back again, feeling superior to Qin Qingqing.
She and Mo Ziye were a perfect match, and marrying Mo Ziye would also help him, pushing Haochen’s developnt to new heights.
"I don’t care what you say; if you make unhappy, I’ll make you twice as unhappy. If you truly care about Brother Ziyi, rember what I just said. Next ti, I’ll show you how badly you’ll lose if I really compete with you for Brother Ziyi."
"Ziyi no longer likes you."
"Even if Brother Ziyi doesn’t like , the friendship between our families still exists. Shi Xi, you should know better than anyone how much you weigh in Brother Ziyi’s heart. If you don’t believe , why don’t we test it now?"
"What are you going to do?"
Just as Qin Qingqing dialed a number, Shi Xi’s face changed drastically.
"I’m calling Brother Ziyi to have him choose between us and convince you completely."
"Qin Qingqing, you crazy woman."
Shi Xi suddenly panicked.
Her voice sharp and angry.
"I was wrong, I shouldn’t have said that about you just now."
As Qin Qingqing finished dialing and her long fingers hovered over the call button, Shi Xi suddenly wilted like an eggplant hit by frost.
Her face paled slightly, her tone stiff as she apologized.
In her heart, she was unwilling a thousand tis over, but verbally, she had to admit her mistake.
Qin Qingqing leaned back on the sofa, her brows coolly looking at Shi Xi, who had her head lowered and teeth gritted.
Coldly issuing an order to leave, "I want to rest; if you have nothing else, return to your room."
"..."
Shi Xi gritted her teeth and cursed her in her heart again.
Only then did she turn, dragging her suitcase out of her room.
Listening to the loud door closing, the coolness in Qin Qingqing’s eyes was replaced by other emotions flooding in.
Under the brilliant crystal chandelier light, her eyes were slightly red.
Shi Xi was right, even if she liked Brother Ziyi, she couldn’t get past this hurdle in her heart.
Her return to the country this ti was simply to be a little closer to him.
Just a little closer.
She had thought that he couldn’t remain single forever, that he would fall in love, marry, and have children.
He would be happy with another woman.
However, twenty-two years ago, he had already domineeringly occupied all the places in her heart.
She had spent four years, yet could not remove him an inch.
She knew he still hated her.
The fact that he had a girlfriend from the mont she returned, she already knew.
He even brought his girlfriend around her on purpose to tornt her, to make her suffer.
Sothing ran down her cheek.
Qin Qingqing raised her hand, wiping it across her palm wet with tears.
She sniffed and got up to walk into the bathroom, turning on the shower... over the past four years, she had grown accustod to this.
Every ti she couldn’t help but want to cry, she hid in the bathroom.
The water droplets falling from her head mixed with tears, indistinguishable from the water or the tears.
Pretending she wasn’t crying.
——
In another suite.
Mo Ziye finished showering and ca out of the bathroom in a robe.
The doorbell rang just then.
Seeing that the person outside was Shi Xi, his expression cooled a bit, and he turned back to the bed, picking up his phone to dial her number.
"Ziyi, could you open the door?"
Shi Xi’s voice ca through with a sob.
Filled with sadness.
"What happened to you?"
Mo Ziye showed no intention of opening the door, instead asking blandly.
"I just received a call. My grandmother is very ill, Ziyi, could you co back with to the Imperial City?"

Mo Ziye frowned slightly, going to open the door.
Once the door was open, Shi Xi lunged forward.
Mo Ziye instinctively stepped to the side, watching Shi Xi almost stumble, he asked gently, "Tell the details, if it’s not urgent, you can leave in the morning."
"Ziyi, I’m afraid my grandmother can’t wait for , please go back with now, I know there’s a flight to the Imperial City at four. If I can’t see her one last ti, I’ll be heartbroken forever."
Shi Xi was an actress, and whether this was genuine sadness or acting was unknown.
Anyway, she appeared truly heart-wrenching.
Listening to her choked explanation, Mo Ziye’s brow furrowed even more.
"Stop crying, I’ll take you to the airport now."
"Ziyi, thank you."
Shi Xi wiped her tears as she expressed her gratitude.
Mo Ziye looked at her tear-stained eyes, and said lightly, "Go pack your things; we’ll et in the lobby on the first floor in a while."
"I’ll be waiting for you."
Shi Xi hesitated for a mont, chokingly agreed, "Ziyi, I’ll wait for you on the first floor."
After speaking, she glanced at him in his robe, turned, and walked out of the room.
Mo Ziye closed the door, changing his clothes.
Returning to her room, Shi Xi wiped away her tears, a victorious smile appearing on her face.
Qin Qingqing, do you think you can really take away the man I have my eyes on? Since you’ve broken up with Ziyi, don’t think about getting him back.
If I can’t beat you here, back in the Imperial City, I’ll have ways to quickly beco Mo Ziye’s woman; once he’s tasted , he won’t desire you anymore.
That old lady’s illness ca just in ti, making all the years of effort to please her worthwhile. Shi Xi humd a song as she packed her luggage.
