After confirming Xu Yanli's identity, Yan Ji visibly disliked him: "What do you want from me"

The man touched his nose and smiled helplessly, "If I said it was just a coincidence, would you believe me"

Yanji looked down on his hypocrisy and wouldn't even bother with polite pretenses. She directly exposed his lies: "You weren't sent to the countryside because you were sick, but because your parents wanted a better upbringing for you and sent you to live with your aunt abroad since childhood."

“...... Xu Yanli was stunned: “I’m sorry…”

He didn't try to find excuses to explain, it was indeed himself who had lied first.

Yan Ji got up, this meal was inedible. She felt nauseous and said, "If you truly feel sorry, just don't appear in front of me anymore. It's best to stay three feet away from me when you see me. Everyone in your Xu family, except for your sister, I dislike them all."

Just now's meal is all prickly points, she beckoned the waiter: "Package it."

Xu Yanli: "..."

He had imagined what kind of emotions Yanji might have when she knew his identity, apology, guilt, self-blame. Even if none of these existed, at least there should be some shame, but he didn't expect her reaction to be like this.

After Yan Ji paid, she took her meal box and left. Back at the shop, Sheng Ruge and Xiaobai had already finished work. She didn't turn on the lights and went to her workspace by the light filtering in from outside.

She opened her computer, brought up the unfinished design draft, and as her gaze fell on the screen, she gradually became absorbed in it.

"Xiaoji, do you know Actually, I have a younger brother too. He just lived abroad since he was little and only comes back during Christmas," the girl said, holding a thick English dictionary, her smile bright and cheerful. "He's really handsome, and I'll introduce him to you later. I'll get that stinky boy to be more proactive and take you back as my sister-in-law. Our family will definitely spoil you like a princess."

But he's two years younger than you. Can you accept a sibling relationship Can you, can you

Yanji didn't take her words seriously, and even deliberately distanced herself a bit, afraid she would be implicated by him.

Xú Mèng Rán was the first and only friend she had made in Kyoto, so she cherished her deeply. She didn't want to show off their close friendship in front of others.

The two walked side by side, one after the other. To outsiders, they just happened to be on the same road.

As Yan Ji walked through a narrow alley, he was stopped by someone. "Well, well, if it isn't the country bumpkin Yan Jia just adopted! You look quite presentable now, but so what You're still just a scrawny chicken."

The girl speaking was dressed like a socialite, with a cigarette tucked between her fingers, nail polish on her nails, and an exaggerated blue wig. Yan Jiaojiao called her "Mu Sister," and she followed her around like a lapdog. After arriving in Kyoto, this person often bullied me under the guise of protecting Yan Jiaojiao.

She not only came from a wealthy family, but was also the arranged marriage partner Gu Ce Ye had been set up with. Although they were still young and hadn't officially declared their feelings, everyone knew that all that was missing was a formal process.

She looked around but didn't see Yan Jiaojiao. The other people around Mu Yunyao were dressed more and more extravagantly, with big flower arms, messy braids, leather jackets, dyed hair, and makeup. If you didn't know their ages, you wouldn't be able to tell that they were all just twelve or thirteen years old.

"I'm nearly overwhelmed by the earthy smell clinging to her. Such a strong scent of soil, she must have been raised alongside her parents in the fields since childhood to be so steeped in it."

Those around me chuckled with a mocking “hahaha,” their eyes filled with contempt.

Yan Ji replied, "If you don't go down to the field, did you grow up eating **"

The laughter stopped abruptly. Someone glared at her with fury, gritting their teeth and snarling, "You **ing..."

She grabbed Yanji, dragging her into the alley: "You sure are talkative, aren't you I'll tear your mouth apart today."

Yánjí again didn't fight back, his fists were no match for four hands, and soon he was dragged in.

Mu Yunyao slapped her hard across the face. Yan Ji was dazed and bleeding from the mouth. She, with bloodshot eyes, rushed toward the other person and unleashed a frenzy of attacks, catching Mu Yunyao in a relentless barrage. Other fists rained down on her like hailstones, pain reaching its peak. Yet, she didn't let go, adopting a posture of fighting to the death with Mu Yunyao.

But she was still pulled away.

"Xiaoji, run!"

It was Xu Mengran, she tried to stop the group of people, but those mad dogs were on a rampage, where could they possibly hold back.

After an unknown amount of time, someone shouted, and everyone stopped what they were doing.

Xú Mèng Rán, her face covered in wounds, stood behind Yán Jī, stretching out her mouth into a smile toward her: "Little Jī."

The sunset that day was incredibly red and bright. Xu Mengran stood facing the light, and slowly, a red line trailed down her fair neck, gradually seeping into her white clothes.

Then Yanji reacted belatedly, realizing it was blood.

"Meng Ran."

She scrambled to her side, catching Xu Mengran's limp body as she fell. She shouted at the people around her: "Call for an ambulance, call 120, please! I beg you, call 120!"

That group of people were all pale as death. Mu Yunyao threw the blood-stained brick from her hand and ran away with her people.

Yan Ji had no phone. Yan Wei, fearing they would lose themselves to frivolous pursuits, didn't give her one. She trembled as she reached into Xu Mengran's bag, but there was none.

She wanted to help Xu Mengran up and go outside the alley to call for help, but she was too weak and injured all over. She couldn't lift her at all. After trying several times, she had to give up. “Mengran, I’ll go find someone. Don’t sleep.”

She limped out of the alley and found someone to help her. Xu Mengran was sent to the hospital.

Yanji would always remember that day, the day before New Year's. A doctor in a white coat, with a face full of regret, announced: "We did our best, if we had arrived twenty minutes earlier..."

Those twenty minutes became Yan Ji's lifelong regret.

If that group of people hadn't run away, or had called an ambulance before they left...

"Yanji," the man's voice suddenly rang out, startling Yanji. She came to her senses and realized that Gu Chenye was standing at the doorway of her workroom, frowning, looking at her with a complex expression: "Are you feeling down"

Actually, what he wanted to ask was 'Are you sick', but looking at Yanji's bloodshot eyes, the words that reached his lips changed.

Yanji: "..."

The aftereffects of the memory were enormous; she wasn't just down in the dumps, she was also very irritable, especially when she saw Gu Chen Ye.

She didn't ask him how he got there, just said coldly, "Get out."

Gu Chenye walked in, raising his foot: "Wanted to flirt with Xu Yanli but failed, so you're hiding here crying"

Yanji instinctively wiped his face and said, "You sent someone to follow me"

The man snorted derisively, his face clearly saying, 'How thick-skinned are you': "Stalking you I'm not that free. I'd like to ask you, what benefits did you give Xie Fangze that he reports everything about you to me all day"ogram schedule and list of personnel from the production team. Although they didn't know each other, they still had to go through the necessary formalities.She wasn't going there for the show itself,...
