At this point, Xue Mi's side is already approaching morning.

Sebas couldn't possibly be ignorant of the time difference, so it was strange that he would call.

"Are you with Bei Shao?" Sebastian asked.

"...No. I'm home alone."

Sebastian was a little weird.He remembered that just now, Ji Bei took her out together.

"In this case, it may be inconvenient for you to say something..."

"Say it, it doesn't matter."

"The old lady's birthday is going to be held in the Rose Manor, which will be more grand than in previous years..."

Xue Mi was stunned, he called in the middle of the night, just for this?

"Just tell Bei Shao what I say, and he will understand what I mean."

"... Sebastian, you'd better call him again and tell him."

Sebas was silent for a moment.

Xue Mi thought he would ask why.

Who knows, he actually said: "Are you unhappy?"

Xue Mi: "...No."

"You are not happy." This time it is an affirmative sentence.

Xue Mi smiled wryly.

She didn't speak, and there was no voice on the other end of the phone.Just calm down, you can still hear the even breathing on the other end.

Maybe it was the depression brought by this locked room, maybe it was the thick sadness of the night that gave her the desire to confide.

"Sebas," she said softly, "I want to ask you a question. What do you think about Guan Lan's plagiarism?"

Sebastian immediately said: "This is a very excessive thing, and it is absolutely unforgivable."

Xue Mi laughed and said, "Then, if there is a huge benefit in front of you, as long as you give up pursuing this matter, you can get it?"

Sebastian's voice sounded very cold, and said: "Why do you have such an idea! You are a painter! Even if you are not a top-notch artist now, you must not lose the dignity of a painter!"

Xu Shi realized that his tone was a bit harsh, Sebastian paused for a while, but still said: "Mr. Ina, you are not such a person, no matter how big the interests are in front of you, you should not give up your ambition as a painter." soul and dignity."

Xue Mi was not angry at all, instead she smiled and said, "Yes, you are right."

Sebastian was stunned: "Sorry, I'm a little excited..."

"No, Sebas, you're right, I shouldn't compromise."

Sebastian: "..."

Xue Mi took a deep breath and said, "I'll pass on your words to Young Master Bei. It's nothing. I'll hang up first."

"……OK."

"Good night, Sebas."

"Good night, Teacher Ina."

After hanging up the phone, Sebastian couldn't recover.

Ina's tone... was very disappointed and helpless.

He suddenly realized one thing.Ina is a professional painter who has been working hard for so many years. No matter how slow her achievements came, she did not take shortcuts like other young female painters.

Once, Sebastian was surprised that she would marry Ji Bei.

But just a few hours ago, Sebastian heard on the phone...their relationship between husband and wife is actually not normal.

In this impetuous society, Ina is a rare painter who can calm down and keep his feet on the ground.She is professional, serious and caring.

How could such a painter... being tempted by interests, compromise on plagiarism?

"No, Sebas, you're right, I shouldn't compromise..."

Her voice seemed to be full of self-deprecation and depression.

The silver-haired youth frowned, and a thought suddenly flashed across his mind.

Could it be that someone forced her?

……

Blacksmithing must be done while the iron is hot, Ji Bei's empty-handed White Wolf played beautifully, and drove Luo Qi overnight to finish his work.

After the will came into effect, Luo Qi seemed to regret it a little bit.But at that time, it was beyond his control.

The two parties signed the equity transfer agreement, and Ji Bei made the payment in front of Luo Qi according to his request.

Although Ji Bei even dispatched the helicopter, it was already noon after the matter was finished.

Ji Bei was not happy at all.

Thinking of Xue Mi's reaction last night, he frowned again.

"Back to Dream."

Although rationally told him that he should leave her alone and let her think for herself, emotionally he couldn't let go...

Have a good time coaxing it.he thought.

Back at Dream, the room was dark because the lights were not turned on.

The woman is sleeping curled up on the sofa, still wearing the same clothes she wore when she went out last night.On the side table is a brownie that has been eaten.I drank half a glass of milk.

No matter how you look at it, there are signs of decadence.

Ji Bei frowned, he really didn't expect her to make such a fuss!

After a while, Xue Mi woke up as if he felt someone sitting down beside him.

She reached out and rubbed her sleepy eyes, then looked up.

The man who stayed up all night still looked energetic, and in his eyes, he could even see a little bit of distress.

"Are you awake? Why are you lying on the sofa and sleeping?"

He reached out to touch her.

Xue Mi woke up in a jerk, and said: "I still say the same thing, you withdraw the lawsuit. I will continue to appeal myself."

Ji Bei's hand was almost touching her, and the gap between his fingertips and her hair was almost a millimeter.

But at this distance, froze.

Then, he quickly withdrew his hand, holding back his anger and said, "Is this the result of your thinking all night?"

"Yes, I thought about it all night, and I don't want to compromise anyway." Xue Mi raised her head and looked straight into Ji Bei's eyes.

"You think that without my help, you can win the lawsuit." Ji Bei stood up, sneered condescendingly, "Xue Mi, how old are you, why are you so naive! Do you think there are people in this world? Is there such a thing as justice? If you don’t use tricks, Guan Lan will use them!”

Xue Mi looked up at him without saying a word.But his eyes were clearly stubborn.

"In the end, maybe she will bite you back and say that you plagiarized her!" Ji Bei looked at her as if watching a joke, "Just go to court like this, and I won't stop you. Xue Mi, don't think that I I will help you with a soft heart next time!"

Xue Mi slowly sat up, on the sofa, cross-legged, looking at him with mocking eyes.

"Ji Bei, I don't care what you think. But even if I lose this lawsuit, at least I have not compromised. You are right, she will bite me back. I have seen too many such things, plagiarists bite the original painter back .Even if I was bitten back by her in the end, so what?"

Pointing to the position of her heart, she said earnestly: "The pure will be pure, and the turbid will be turbid. So what if everyone scolds me? My heart is always clean."

For a moment, Ji Bei was speechless.

He even forgot what the reason for Xue Mi to withdraw the lawsuit was.

Is it because of Luo Qi's contract?No, it's not, the contract has already been signed.Luo Qi couldn't figure it out anymore.

So, is it to make her bow her head?

Xue Mi looked at him... as if looking at something dirty.

Ji Bei narrowed his eyes!
