C80 When the Truth Was Revealed It Was Replaced by Someone else (1/2)
”Why did you let someone take me away the first time we met? Do you think I would believe it so easily just because you say I'm like you? ”
Jiang Xi asked softly, she remembered all of these things.
It was undeniable that he really was a good person. However, all of these suspicions proved that he really had a purpose in getting close to her.
Sheng Jianian held his head with his hands: ”Okay, that night I let someone take you away first, I admit that I was indeed going too far. But you must believe that I mean you no harm! There was no other reason! I just want to help you, idiot! ”
Jiang Xi shook his head: ”No, if you didn't have any intentions, and didn't have any other intentions, then why did you kiss me just now?”
Sheng Jianian was at a loss for words, his palms pressed down on his face helplessly.
”I couldn't help myself earlier …”
Well, it was a cover up. He suddenly stood up in anger, ”Okay, you want to know, tomorrow morning at seven o'clock, go to the open reservoir, I'll tell you the reason.”
”I don't want to go!” Jiang Xi roared loudly at his tall and straight back.
Sheng Jianian took in a deep breath. From the back, he could feel the tensed muscles all over his body.
He turned angrily, his dark eyes falling on her face.
”The one who kept asking for the reason is you. I wanted to tell you but I'm not willing to listen? ”What, are you afraid that you'll be disappointed if you find out that I'm not interested in you?” Sheng Jianian bit out these words one word at a time, he was so angry that the muscles on his body seemed like they were about to explode, but he managed to hold back his anger, it was just that his eyes and aura were too scary.
Jiang Xi bit her lips and subconsciously took a step back. ”I, I have to get on the bus to Xiangcheng very early tomorrow …”
”It won't be long. Ten minutes. No, five minutes.” Sheng Jianian lowered his voice and said, ”Perhaps I can finish with just a few words.”
The color in Sheng Jianian's eyes gradually dimmed, and his entire person gave off a lonely yet solemn aura.
He stood in the room and strode out.
Jiang Xi looked at the tall and big back of the figure that stood at the door, and just as she was about to open his mouth to say something, he turned around and at the same time, closed the door.
As the door closed, it was as if the entire space was isolated from the world. Jiang Xi took a deep breath and secretly went to lock the door.
For the entire night, Jiang Xi stared furiously at Sheng Jianian, to the point where he almost strangled him to death. However, when she was about to choke, she turned into her grandma. She screamed for help with all her might and pushed away the old lady who was running frantically. She had been running all night.
She woke up at dawn.
Her head didn't feel well. She had been running for a whole night, screaming but unable to make a sound. All sorts of nervousness and fear had worn her down.
If he were to sleep now, it would be better to not sleep at all, exhausting his body and mind.
Jiang Xi sat on the bed for a while, then went into the bathroom and turned on the faucet to wash her face, took a hot bath and changed into clean clothes.
She packed her bag and left the hotel with her key card.
It was not yet seven o'clock, and it was early morning.
Jiang Xi bought two steamed buns and a bag of soya-bean milk on the street, and waited by the train station. She asked the earliest car before leaving, and after hesitating for a long time, she decided to go to the reservoir to wait for Sheng Jianian.
She had to know, why was it that Sheng Jianian was able to ”act like it was at first sight” with her, and how he could get along easily with her, so helping her without considering the conditions was not even enough of a reason.
She wanted to know the real reason, or else she would be wary of him.
Even though they were getting along, his heart had already relaxed.
Reaching the side of the reservoir, a cool breeze blew and Jiang Xi wrapped her clothes tightly as she sat on the side of the reservoir.
Xie Wanqing found out from Lee Fuzhou that she was going to the reservoir, and also learned from him that they had long known of Jiang Xi, and even the President Sheng had a good impression of him.
Xie Wanqing was actually the last to know of such an important matter. It was as if the sky had fallen and she could not accept the reality that was about to be exposed.
He didn't even need to eat breakfast before he arrived at the reservoir's side. From afar, he saw Jiang Xi sitting with her back facing the water surface, eating.
Xie Wanqing walked over step by step, her palms drenched with sweat.
She stood behind Jiang Xi, and when she stretched out her hand, Jiang Xi suddenly turned around, ”Elder Sister Wanqing?”
Xie Wanqing's dark and gloomy expression was frozen on her face, her eyes were straight, she was somewhat stunned, and suddenly felt a chill behind her back, a burst of cold sweat pouring out.
She took a step back in disbelief, and her face changed drastically.
Seeing Jiang Xi, who had slowly crawled up and stood in front of her, her mind was in a mess. She did not expect herself to almost commit a grave mistake, and almost push Jiang Xi down …
Just now, he must have been stunned, he must have been!
”Elder Sister Wanqing?” Jiang Xi whispered: ”Are you uncomfortable?”
”Xixi!” Xie Wanqing suddenly knelt in front of her and grabbed her hands, ”Xixi, you have to help me, okay?”
