Chapter 774 - At The Top (2/2)
”Then what's the meaning of that insensitive remark?”
”I've always been an insensitive person, didn't you know?” he retorted plainly.
”Bastard!” she cursed.
”Thank you,” he replied. While she found herself a seat to sit, he asked, ”How's the investigation going?”
”Don't ask me,” began Ying. ”I'm out of it. Soon, I'll be getting suspended as well. Twenty people died that night. I can't shake off the responsibility.”
”It's not your responsibility,” said Darren with a frown.
Ying smiled bitterly, ”Someone has to take that responsibility. Or else, I'd feel even worse for the departed souls.”
Darren nodded his head. ”Even if you're out of the investigation, you must know something.”
”Why don't you directly ask Zizi?”
”Uncle Zi wants me to stay away from such things. He said I should solely focus on getting better.”
Ying also gave a nod of agreement, ”I completely agree with him.”
”When have you ever disagreed with Uncle Zi's words?” retorted Darren with derision.
”Can't argue with that either,” said Ying. She took a moment and told him, ”From what I know, there is no lead. Well, none that leads to someone. Everything is a dead end.” Seeing Darren's darkened expressions, she went on, ”But don't worry. My aunt is working hard to find the people behind this attack. We'll soon catch them.”
As soon as they heard the bathroom door opening, both of them stopped talking.
When Xiu came outside, she found Ying in the room as well.
”Oh, Ying Jie! Haven't seen you in a while. I thought you forgot all about me,” said Xiu. ”I didn't think you'd forget me so soon. So, it hurt a little.”
”Did you even have time to think about me?” asked Ying as she heard Xiu's dramatic words.
”Ying Jie, you're always on my mind,” said Xiu with a sincere look in her eyes. ”Just because you can't see my love for you, doesn't mean you get to question my feelings. This is unfair not just to me but to my sincere feelings as well.”
”If you kept talking like this, your husband might get jealous,” told Ying.
Xiu smiled turned her head to smile at Darren saying, ”My Regan isn't the jealous type. He already knows no one can take his place in my heart.” She took a pause and added, ”But we should worry about your boyfriend instead. He might really get a bit possessive.” She looked around and asked, ”Speaking of your boyfriend, where is he?”
Ying eyed Xiu for a moment before saying, ”You look like you're more eager to see my boyfriend than me.”
”How can that be?” Xiu cleared her throat. ”Ying Jie is like my elder sister. But your boyfriend is actually the superstar for me. The one I adore the most. Although the competition in my heart is tough, you both have your own positions. Trust me.”
”Then tell me who is at the top? Me or my boyfriend?” asked Ying curiously. ”In that heart of yours.”
Xiu grinned like a devil, ”Ying Jie, the one at the top is always my husband.”
Ying rolled her eyes at her.
