848 Are You Lying to Me?
If she didn’t know what these doc.u.ments represented, how could she accurately find this one among the many doc.u.ments and send it to Su Ling? Therefore, she could not argue. Anything she said would be an excuse. Qiao Xi’s heart sank. She knew that there was no turning back.
“Why aren’t you talking?” Shen Hanxing sneered and tapped his fingers on the table. She asked coldly, “Qiao Xi, did I do anything wrong to you? Why do you hate me so much that you want me to lose my reputation and be consigned to eternal d.a.m.nation?” Why would she work with Su Ling if she didn’t hate her? She couldn’t wait to kill her.
If this doc.u.ment were real, Shen Hanxing would be crippled after exposure. Not only would she be hated by everyone, but she would also be severely punished by the law. Could it be that Qiao Xi did not know? No, she knew all the consequences, but she still did it.
“No, it’s not like that.” Qiao Xi’s face was pale as she shook her head desperately. “Mrs. Ji, I didn’t… Mrs.Lu promised me that if you help her, she will destroy the doc.u.ments and won’t spread them. She promised me. ” Tears streamed down Qiao Xi’s face as she cried, “She promised me that she wouldn’t make things difficult for you….”
!!“Enough, stop crying!” Su Ling suddenly scolded her with a mocking look on her face. “Do you think Shen Hanxing will believe you? You’re in your twenties, not a three-year-old child. Do you believe what I said? You’re just deceiving yourself and others. Now you’re pretending to be innocent. How disgusting.”
“I’m not. I didn’t …” Qiao Xi shook her head. Her face was pale. She looked like she was on the verge of collapse. She could not help but raise her hand to grab Su Ling beside her. The veins on her hand bulged, and her eyes were filled with eagerness. “Mrs. Lu, you promised me that as long as Mrs. Ji promised to save your in-laws, you would destroy the doc.u.ments in your hands. You said you wouldn’t make things difficult for Mrs. Ji?”
“Don’t touch me!” Su Ling shook off Qiao Xi’s hand in disgust and looked at her sarcastically. “Do you believe me just because I told you? Do you think you’re a three-year-old?”
“What do you mean?” Qiao Xi’s pupils trembled. She bit her lip, and her eyes turned red. “Are you lying to me?”
“No… I did not…” Qiao Xi felt as if she had been struck by lightning. Her face was filled with pain. “You’re lying! Nonsense! Shut up!”
She dared not look at Shen Hanxing’s expression and could only roar at Su Ling with resentment. How could she say that? That was a secret that she had hidden deep in her heart. She could not share it with anyone, nor could she tell anyone. How could Su Ling say it so loudly without her consent?
Qiao Xi was panicking and afraid. It was as if she had been stripped naked in public. She stood naked in front of Shen Hanxing, embarra.s.sed and ashamed. Her cheeks were red, and her eyes were red. Tears fell uncontrollably.
“Guilty? Are you angry from embarra.s.sment?” Seeing Qiao Xi like this, the smile on Su Ling’s face grew wider. She could not help but raise her head and laugh twice. Then, she suddenly stopped laughing, and her eyes were filled with disgust. “Qiao Xi, do you know I’ve always hated you?” She was expressionless and looked at Qiao Xi like she was looking at something dirty. “I hate people like you the most. You have unspeakable thoughts, are bad and not completely bad, and are stupid and not ruthless enough. Why are you blushing now? Why are you avoiding eye contact? Why don’t you dare to open your eyes wide and look at Shen Hanxing righteously? Was it so difficult to say that she liked Ji Yan? That’s right. A woman like you…” She glanced at Qiao Xi with disdain and sneered. “How can a woman like you love Ji Yan? You and he has so much difference. Are you even worthy? I’m afraid that if Ji Yan finds out that you like him, he’ll be so disgusted that he won’t be able to eat.”
Qiao Xi clenched her fists, her shoulders trembling. She didn’t want to cry but couldn’t live up to her expectations. Tears kept falling. “No… I didn’t…”
