Chapter 2069: The Cruelest Punishment

That final accusation made Sui Xin stumble, nearly causing her to fall.

Sui Xin was clearly panicked.

Her eyes darted around uneasily, and she even felt as if she were truly in the wrong...

No, she was not wrong!

Sui Xin suddenly clenched her fists, then raised her head and issued a challenge: "You say I am wrong, then what law can punish me?"

This time, Jiang Motian did not speak.

Sui Xin took the opportunity to seize the initiative, recalling gloomily: "Others thought I fell into the water by accident, but that time... the psychological pressure on me was too great, and I wanted to end my own life!"

"But there was a person who saved me like a ray of light, letting me see hope again!"

"Relying on this bit of strength, I walked out of that chaotic and painful time and became a better version of myself!"

Sui Xin had never told anyone else these words.

Because she felt embarrassed.

But at this moment, these shameful past events made Sui Xin firm in her resolve.

She had done nothing wrong!

She was also very lucky.

Although there were some problems along the way, she had ultimately found Jiang Mobai!

As long as Sui Xin could find definitive proof, she would set her sights on Jiang Mobai; in this life, it had to be him!

Sui Xin's emotions surged even more intensely.

But Jiang Motian poured cold water on her: "Mobai has probably forgotten all of this."

"Impossible!"

Sui Xin denied it with great agitation: "He said at the time that I was so beautiful, it would be a pity to die. If I could survive, he would make me his girlfriend!"

"That was nothing more than a tactic to stimulate your will to live."

"You are wrong; Jiang Mobai is a devoted person. If he makes a promise, he will fulfill it!"

"Jiang Mobai... devoted?"

Jiang Motian found Sui Xin's conclusion bizarre.

Yet Sui Xin mocked Jiang Motian: "Although you are his sister, there are some secrets you don't know either!"

As she spoke, a seductive light flashed in Sui Xin's eyes.

Jiang Motian knew that Sui Xin wanted to negotiate terms with her.

Although she was tempted, but... in this situation, she absolutely could not give in!

"Since it is a secret, let it remain a secret forever."

Jiang Motian's response made Sui Xin anxious.

She spoke impatiently: "You know..."

"Are you trying to talk about Su Kexuan?"

Jiang Motian interrupted Sui Xin and spoke a person's name.

And the name of this person made Sui Xin suddenly fall silent.

From this, Jiang Motian knew she had guessed correctly.

She curled her lips in an indifferent manner: "I am Jiang Mobai's sister; would I be unaware of something you could know?"

"Since you know, how can you still be so calm about being friends with Su Kexuan?"

"Relationships are a matter for the two of them; why should I interfere?"

Do not be fooled by Jiang Motian's righteous appearance at this moment.

In reality, she did not know the grievances between Su Kexuan and Jiang Mobai.

She had only seen some diaries written by Jiang Mobai.

In the diaries, he did not even mention Su Kexuan's name; Jiang Motian had deduced Su Kexuan's identity based on details.

Moreover, Jiang Mobai's diaries did not provide any useful information.

They were all reflections.

The content of the reflections was varied and diverse.

There was nostalgia, there were complaints, and there was anxiety.

After reading these contents, Jiang Motian even wondered if Jiang Mobai's emotional indulgence was due to self-abandonment after disappointment.

And after a brief moment of panic, Sui Xin calmed down a little.

She felt that something was not quite right.

Her eyes darted back and forth, and she muttered unconsciously: "You are so protective of your family; if you really knew the specific reason, how could you be so calm? I'm afraid..."

Sui Xin's voice suddenly trailed off.

Then, she stared straight at Jiang Motian: "You don't know the truth, do you? Heh, I was almost fooled by you!"

Sui Xin felt she had found the truth.

She became very happy.

Jiang Motian did not argue with her either.

She just shrugged, her tone casual: "Is it important whether I know the truth or not? It's not a big deal anyway."

"If it wasn't a big deal, why would Mobai have left home for so many years? Do you really think it was just being unrestrained?"

"But now, he is back. Whether it is the grievances of the past or misunderstandings, they can all be resolved. As for you..."

Jiang Motian tilted her head, looked at Sui Xin, and said gloomily: "You will be punished!"

"How can you judge me as guilty? The law does not support it!"

"What I'm talking about isn't legal punishment, but the fact that you know Mobai is the light that redeems you, yet this light will never love you!"

Jiang Motian's words were less of a punishment and more of a curse.

Sui Xin's face turned pale as she listened.

She stared fixedly at Jiang Motian, her fingers trembling.

Jiang Motian then said airily, arranging things for her: "The performance is already over; leave this city."

"Mobai is still here, I'm not leaving!"

"He doesn't like you anyway, pestering him is useless."

"How do you know it's useless? I want to pursue my happiness! He will like me sooner or later!"

Sui Xin had made up her mind to pester him relentlessly.

Jiang Motian looked impatient.

She said: "I'm trying to reason with you nicely, but you won't listen, right? Then don't blame us for showing no mercy!"

Today, Jiang Motian had completely torn off the mask with Sui Xin.

Sui Xin knew that the resistance to her pursuit of Jiang Mobai had increased by another layer...

She hated it when others blocked her path.

If anyone blocked her...

She would take action to teach them a lesson!

Sui Xin felt a rush of heat to her head and reached out to grab Jiang Motian's wrist.

At the same time, her other hand swung out toward Jiang Motian's cheek!

Fortunately, Jiang Motian had been exercising frequently lately, so her reaction speed was very fast.

She moved her body slightly and dodged Sui Xin's hand.

Then she grabbed Sui Xin's wrist in return and said coldly: "You're actually laying a hand on me? You really are tired of living!"

Jiang Motian had fire in her heart, and her fingers tightened continuously.

This force pinched Sui Xin in pain, and she shouted: "Let go!"

"And after I let you go, will you continue to hit me?"

"I—I won't hit you, okay!"

"But I want to hit someone right now!"

Jiang Motian was just trying to scare Sui Xin.

Yet at this moment, someone pushed open the door to the lounge.

Seeing this scene, Qi Fengyang naturally assumed that Jiang Motian was teaching Sui Xin a lesson.

A look of anxiety appeared on his face; he rushed to Sui Xin in a few steps, separated the two, and then frowned, saying: "Miss Jiang, let's talk things over properly!"

"I have been talking properly, but she is the one laying hands on me."

Sui Xin was still very agitated.

But her mind had calmed down a little.

Hearing Jiang Motian's words, she turned the tables: "Clearly you were the one who suddenly got angry and tried to hit me, how—how can you still lie!"

Jiang Motian was not at all surprised by Sui Xin's performance.

She raised an eyebrow slightly and asked: "Do you think I would come to find you without any preparation?"

"W—what do you mean?"

"It means... I might have a listening device on me."

Upon hearing this, Sui Xin immediately fell silent.
