Chapter 1993: No More Intersections

Sun Qing shouted, "What are you looking at!"

"Did you not notice that your father's health has been unusual lately?"

"Unusual? What could he possibly..."

Sun Qing had been righteous and confident, but halfway through her sentence, her voice abruptly stopped.

Then, her eyes turned slightly, and she muttered, "He coughed often, but it was just a cough!"

"Late-stage lung cancer also involves frequent coughing, and it causes one to vomit blood."

"So you mean..."

"Your father passed away due to late-stage lung cancer; rest assured, he left peacefully."

Sun Qing's lips moved; it seemed that only now did she truly connect Sun Fuqing with death.

Yet, this result was something she could not accept.

Her voice trembling, she shouted, "You're lying to me!!"

"What benefit would I gain from lying to you at a time like this?"

So, so...

Sun Qing hugged herself tightly with her arms, tears rolling down uncontrollably.

Li Xingyan spoke, saying coldly, "We had intended to arrange for you to see your father one last time."

"But time was tight, so we had to find a girl who resembled you to comfort your father."

"Fortunately, that girl was very well-behaved, and your father rarely showed such a gratified smile..."

Sun Qing could not continue listening; she covered her ears and shouted, "Stop it!!"

Li Xingyan did not continue speaking.

He had already said everything that needed to be said.

For the rest of their lives, they would never meet again.

Li Xingyan stood up and walked away, step by step.

Meanwhile, Sun Qing was still crying helplessly.

When her gaze fell upon that little white flower, she picked it up with trembling hands.

Afterward...

She cried until her heart felt like it was being torn apart.

From then on, Sun Qing was like that flower, withering day by day, devoid of vitality.

Until one day, someone came to see her again.

That white flower had already withered and turned yellow.

Yet, Sun Qing still carefully pinned it to her pocket.

Xin Ziran looked at the out-of-place dried flower and could not help but sigh.

Then he said sincerely, "I am heartbroken by what you have gone through; leave the rest to me."

Sun Qing said without even lifting her head, "Do whatever you want to do."

"From what you're saying, you want to give up?"

"If I don't give up, what else can I do?"

"You can wait for my good news; ever since I returned, I have been secretly plotting something, and recently, it is about to succeed!"

"Oh, then congratulations."

"Once it succeeds, Li Xingyan will be ruined!"

This sentence finally made Sun Qing's eyes turn slightly.

Seeing her reaction, the corners of Xin Ziran's mouth curved upward.

He knew it; deep down, Sun Qing still harbored hatred!

Sun Qing asked him, "Do you have a grudge against Li Xingyan?"

"Not exactly a grudge, just some grievances."

"You were willing to get close to me because you wanted to use me to have a connection with Li Xingyan?"

"That is true."

"So, I have you to thank for me ending up like this!"

Xin Ziran was taken aback.

He had thought his words had piqued Sun Qing's interest.

He hadn't expected...

It seems that in these past few days, Sun Qing has grown quite a bit.

It is just a pity that she grew up too late!

A smile returned to Xin Ziran's face.

Then he explained calmly, "This is the path you chose yourself; although you failed, at least you tried."

"Then I wish for your efforts to also have a 'good' result!"

"Thank you for your 'kind' words, but for me to succeed, I still need you to provide one final bit of help."

"But I am in this state now; how can I still help you?"

"Of course you can help; your role is very important!"

Xin Ziran's smile deepened as he slowly said, "You once stole files from your father's phone, but a portion of them were encrypted, and I still haven't been able to open them."

"So?"

"I need you to provide the password!"

Sun Qing looked at Xin Ziran quietly, and after a moment, she spoke: "I don't know the password, you'll have to find a way yourself."

After saying this, she stood up and was about to leave.

There was a moment of astonishment on Xin Ziran's face.

Seeing that Sun Qing was truly going to leave, he hurriedly said: "I'm not doing this just for myself! Don't you want to make Li Xingyan suffer?"

Sun Qing did not stop her footsteps, nor did she respond to Xin Ziran.

Her desolate silhouette moved further and further away from Xin Ziran.

From this action, it could be seen that Sun Qing did not intend to have any more involvement with Xin Ziran.

This was something Xin Ziran had not expected.

It also brought a bit of trouble for Xin Ziran.

Xin Ziran frowned and left the Detention Center.

But when he rode his motorcycle back to his residence, his phone received a message.

After a brief look, the originally solemn-faced Xin Ziran suddenly revealed a smile.

Heh, it really came at the right time!

……

Outside the restaurant, Wei Yangyang and Yi Xiang walked out together.

Wei Yangyang was fine, her face flushed red.

Yi Xiang, however, was rubbing his stomach with both hands and muttering: "I ate so much today, I'm stuffed!"

Seeing his uncomfortable state, Wei Yangyang couldn't help but show a helpless expression: "I told you to eat less, but you wouldn't listen."

"Since you're treating, of course I have to eat to my heart's content."

"But you can't stuff yourself until you're sick."

"Hmm... actually, I've been controlling my figure lately and haven't dared to eat much. When I ran into this opportunity, I just let myself go for once."

"And is the consequence of that indulgence a failed diet?"

"Not necessarily, I'll just exercise a bit more when I get back."

After Yi Xiang finished speaking, he made a suggestion: "Why don't we walk back to your company?"

After eating, Wei Yangyang had originally intended to return to the company.

Yi Xiang had also agreed that he would drive Wei Yangyang back.

If they were to walk back...

Wei Yangyang asked him: "What about your car?"

"Just leave it here for now, let's call it a low-carbon commute for today."

"Alright then, it just so happens I want to walk off the food too."

Wei Yangyang hadn't eaten little during that meal either.

Taking advantage of the nice weather today, walking along the roadside and soaking up the sun was quite pleasant.

However, the two hadn't walked for long before they spotted a familiar car parked on the side of the road.

That was... Li Xingyan's car!

Thinking that Li Xingyan was nearby, the corners of Wei Yangyang's mouth couldn't help but curl up.

But when Wei Yangyang saw Li Xingyan walking toward the car accompanied by a woman...

Her smile vanished completely.

The woman was dressed in a professional, capable outfit.

Standing beside Li Xingyan, they looked very well-matched.

But the woman's gait was a bit awkward. Every two steps, she would lean on Li Xingyan's arm.

Li Xingyan did not dodge, and he even took the initiative to open the car door for the woman.

After the woman sat in the car, Li Xingyan walked around to the other side and got in.

Yi Xiang also saw the scene that had just unfolded.

He couldn't help but exclaim: "As expected of Li Xingyan, one Sun Qing leaves, and another strong career woman arrives; unlike you, who only has me as a suitor by your side."

Wei Yangyang had been listening calmly at first.

But, what did he say in the second half of his sentence?

Wei Yangyang blinked, then looked at her side in disbelief and scolded: "What nonsense are you spouting!"
