Chapter 2068: Stop Pretending to be Innocent

~7 min read 1,342 words

Su Kexuan did not understand the ins and outs of the matter, and she said straightforwardly, "If you can't wait, just let someone else bring it to you."

"No, I want you to bring it! Su Kexuan, have you forgotten the promise you made back then?"

Su Kexuan didn't even think about it before she gave an "mm."

This attitude infuriated Jiang Mobai.

But thinking about it...

Jiang Mobai discovered a flaw!

He held his chin high and began to speculate: "If you don't remember something, you should first ask around, then recall it, and only then deny it. But you denied it directly... that means you are hiding something!"

Jiang Mobai felt his logic was perfect!

And his analysis was very accurate too!

But Su Kexuan did not agree.

She said calmly, "I just don't want to waste time."

Jiang Mobai did not like hearing this explanation.

He said with some impatience, "Anyway, I'm making you bring it! And it has to be delivered before Sunday!"

If it were any other time, given this attitude of Jiang Mobai's, Su Kexuan would have already retorted.

But now...

Looking at Jiang Mobai lying there with a stiff body...

Su Kexuan sighed, "Fine, the patient comes first."

After saying this, she shook her head and turned to walk out of the hospital room.

When Su Kexuan could not see him, Jiang Mobai stopped pretending, and he looked at Su Kexuan's back with tenderness.

Yet deep in his heart, he felt very annoyed.

Everyone says he is sentimental.

But at least he has feelings.

What about Su Kexuan?

Just like back then!

Terribly calm, as if there had never been a place for him in her eyes!

Perhaps, in her heart, there really is no room for him...

Jiang Mobai recalled something, his expression turned somewhat ugly, and then he was so angry that he bared his teeth and grimaced.

And what Jiang Mobai did not know was that two people had been standing not far from the hospital room, staring tightly at this side.

It was not until Su Kexuan left that those two people emerged from the corner.

Although Sui Xin had not been able to press against the door to listen to what the people inside were chatting about.

She could tell from Su Kexuan's calm face that the two of them had gotten along quite harmoniously.

Moreover, they had chatted for a long time...

Thinking of how Jiang Mobai would use all sorts of excuses to drive her away the moment she went in, Sui Xin clenched her palms involuntarily!

Qi Fengyang looked at Sui Xin with heartache.

But the words he spoke were somewhat sharp: "He has his own destiny; why must you let yourself get trapped because of a joke from years ago?"

Sui Xin immediately widened her eyes.

Her voice even trembled as she spoke: "That was not a joke, and you don't know what that sentence meant to me when I was in a desperate situation!"

"But..."

"Enough, it's not over yet; who will have the last laugh is still not set in stone!"

After Sui Xin finished speaking, she took one more deep look at Jiang Mobai's hospital room.

Then she turned and left.

Qi Fengyang did not follow, only murmuring thoughtfully, "Yes, who will have the last laugh... it is still not set in stone..."

Inside the concert hall, the audience was enjoying a magnificent symphony.

The beautiful music was at times impassioned, at times gentle.

It allowed the audience to be intoxicated in a dreamlike world of music.

As a violinist, Sui Xin also briefly forgot her troubles.

She was even filled with excitement when the performance ended.

Sui Xin likes music.

It's just that there have been many troublesome things lately.

Her liking has also become less pure.

After the performance ended, when everyone was taking a group photo, there was a bit more sincerity in Sui Xin's smile.

"Come, look here, one more shot!"

Hearing someone shout, Sui Xin looked over with her companions.

But...

She saw Jiang Motian behind the photographer!

Sui Xin's smile froze on her face.

After the photo was taken, she even saw Jiang Motian wave at her.

At this moment, Jiang Motian was wearing a simple black dress and adorned with pearl accessories, looking low-key and elegant.

Yet it was this person who seemed to have no offensive power that suddenly caused a sense of foreboding to arise in the depths of Sui Xin's heart.

Taking a deep breath, Sui Xin walked up to Jiang Motian.

She returned a smile and then said, "I really didn't expect you to come and listen to my concert."

"I have been waiting for this day."

"We have a tour coming up next; if you like, I can give you a few more tickets."

"No, you misunderstood me. The waiting I spoke of was waiting for an opportunity to hear how you intend to justify yourself."

This rather impolite remark caused Sui Xin's smile to gradually fade.

Jiang Motian, however, was very casual.

She asked, "Are you planning to talk here, or should we go somewhere else?"

"... Follow me over here."

Sui Xin took Jiang Motian to the lounge.

At this moment, there was no one else here.

Jiang Motian did not mince words and spoke directly: "If what you want is this photo, you can just say so, and I can give it to you."

After saying this, Jiang Motian took out her phone and showed a photo to Sui Xin.

Sui Xin had already been feeling anxious and uneasy.

Upon hearing these words, her heart felt as if it had been tightly squeezed!

She looked at the photo.

This photo was one that Zhang He had sent her.

But because it was all garbled code, Sui Xin hadn't been able to find anything useful.

Now, she could finally see the content clearly.

Yet it made her pupils constrict!

In the photo was a diary entry.

The handwriting was Jiang Mobai's.

In the diary, he wrote that he had saved a girl who had fallen into the water.

That girl was in a bad mood, so he had comforted her with a few words.

Doing a good deed really did make one's mood improve.

Jiang Mobai hoped that good people would be rewarded, and that in the future, he too could have his wishes come true.

The diary entry was only a few short sentences.

Sui Xin held her breath as she finished reading it.

Then, she looked up blankly and asked, "Is that all?"

Jiang Motian retorted, "What else do you want to see?"

"The name of the person he saved, and the promise he made to that girl?!"

Jiang Motian shrugged and said, "The only one who truly knows the answer is Jiang Mobai; you should ask him."

"No, I have already been deceived once. I don't believe other people's answers; I want to use evidence to prove it!"

"Who deceived you? Qi Fengyang?"

Sui Xin's state had originally been dazed and confused.

But the moment she heard the name Qi Fengyang, she snapped back to reality.

Sui Xin stared at Jiang Motian with a guarded expression and demanded, "You investigated me?"

Jiang Motian did not deny it; she countered, "You investigated my brother, so why can't I investigate you?"

"I did investigate him, but I only wanted to find the truth! I didn't want to harm anyone!"

"Forget it, don't paint yourself as so innocent."

Jiang Motian narrowed her eyes, then stepped closer to Sui Xin and issued an accusation:

"Because of your manipulation, the evil in Zhang He's heart was incited, harming both him and my brother!"

"You even used underhanded methods to cause trouble for Su Kexuan!"

"You even tried to use me and my family!"

"Hmph, someone like you, full of schemes—where is the innocence, where is the pity!"

With every word Jiang Motian spoke, Sui Xin took a step back.

But no matter how she retreated, Jiang Motian followed her like a shadow.
