Chapter 951 - Delinquent-Looking Girl (2/2)

”Huh?”

”You can't even tell that it's me. Xiu!”

Ying was dumbstruck once again.

”The reason why I appeared like this in front of you was in fact to make you recall the time we met. After all, you only met me in this attire,” said Xiu with a small smile on her face. ”I told you I had amnesia, and when I recovered my memories, I remembered you as well. The mentor whom I really liked. However, you're also the person I've wronged.”

”What? What do you mean?”

”Do you remember you lost your authorization card?” asked Xiu and Ying nodded her head in a daze. ”I stole it,” she continued. ”You can also say, I used you. The moment you trusted me enough to tell me about your identity, I had it planned. I needed your help. So, I used your authorization card.”

”That's why my lost authorization card miraculously came back as well?” asked Ying.

Xiu nodded her head, ”Yes. That's how it happened. I only needed it to...”

”To make Destiny Novell disappear!” Ying felt like a lightbulb lit up in her head. It finally made sense why her card was used back then. Even when the investigation proved that her card was used, she kept on not believing it. After all, she couldn't recall it. She even suspected if she had a memory loss or something. But now, it was all clear before her.

”Yes, I needed to hide from the ones who were trying to kill me,” stated Xiu calmly. ”So, I used this way. I know it wasn't right but it was the best I could do at that time. I thought if I borrowed your card for a while and returned it safely, you'd never notice. After all, it's not like I used it to disclose national secrets or anything.”

Darren silently listened at the side. He really didn't know why Xiu was insisting on writing all the wrongs that Destiny did. But he also understood that Xiu had her own thoughts and he'd never go against her choices. Since she said it was the right thing to do, it must be the right thing to do.

”Ying Jie, you can punish me however you like. Even though back then I didn't think it was a serious matter, but now I understand it was indeed a serious matter. Losing your authorization card could have gotten you in big trouble.”

Ying waved her hand off, ”Even if I want to punish you, my big boss aka your Uncle Xin Zimen will never let me do anything. Besides, as you said, it wasn't really a big deal. Nothing serious happened and you didn't harm anyone as well.” Then she made a round around Xiu and said, ”I still can't believe I never noticed this before.”

”It's because my disguise was too good,” smirked Xiu.

Ying could only nod along. Indeed, who would ȧssociate the elegant-looking Xiu with the delinquent-looking girl from years ago? But now she had no reason to deny it either.
