After hiding her pregnant belly and getting divorced, the daughter of the richest man stopped preten

The person on the other end seemed to know that she heard the call but deliberately ignored it. He did not call her once as usual and then not call again if she did not answer.

Just wait for her to call back.

This time, no matter how long she waited, the phone kept ringing over and over again...

Until the phone rang and stopped, stopped and rang again...

After repeating this for who knows how many times, Wen Shiqi finally couldn't resist the other party's persistence and answered the phone:

"Hey?"

"You went back to the Ye family?"

The voice of the person on the other end was still familiar to Wen Shiqi, but the words he said this time were completely unfamiliar to Wen Shiqi.

The other party didn't seem surprised at all that she returned to the Ye family.

"You...already knew this?"

Wen Shiqi asked.

There was a tremor in her voice that she herself didn't even notice.

There was silence on the other end of the phone.

Nothing was said.

But it seemed as if everything had been said.

In an instant, Wen Shiqi felt a loud bang in his head, and something in his heart collapsed.

"why?"

She asked, her fingers holding the phone turning blue from the force.

Although as early as when she learned from Wen Muchi that she was Mr. Ye's granddaughter, she had already thought that perhaps... her past three years had been a lie.

However, when she really verified this moment, she still felt a blow that was almost despair.

Why?

Why did they do this to her?

"Mingxiu, tell me, why?"

Wen Shiqi was almost on the verge of collapse.

Three years ago, Mingxiu rescued her from the bottom of the cliff.

Since then, Mingxiu has become the most indispensable existence in her life.

Maybe her feelings for Mingxiu are not like love, but they are stronger than love.

Not a relative, but better than a relative.

There was silence on the other end of the phone.

Mingxiu said nothing.

I could only hear the sudden increase in breathing from the other end through the phone.

After a long while, Wen Shiqi heard the man opposite slowly say:

"If I say that I just found out about this, would you believe me?"

"Heh..." Wen Shiqi laughed miserably, "Do you think... I can believe it?"

"Believe it or not, I...didn't know about it at first."

"Okay. Even if I believe you, you really didn't know it at first. So, after you knew the truth, what did you do? Why didn't you tell me directly?"

There was silence on the other end of the phone again.

After a long while, Ming Xiu slowly said:

"……Feel sorry."

"Sorry, hehe... sorry... all of you are like this! You always say 'sorry' only after you've hurt someone!"

The damage has been done, will sorry be of any use?

Why can't we just avoid the damage in the first place?!

"I don't want to see you or hear your voice right now."

Wen Shiqi said coldly.

After saying that, she wanted to hang up the phone.

She didn't know whether what Mingxiu said was true or not, but she really couldn't face this man again in the short term.

The man I once regarded as a relative.

"Wait," Mingxiu stopped her, "He wants to see you."

Wen Shiqi paused, and the image of that cold and stern man who gave people a sense of cruelty but treated her well emerged in her mind...

My eyes seem a little dazed...

Uncle Li...

"Qiqi?"

"Qiqi, are you still listening?"

The person on the other end of the phone seemed to be waiting for a long time without getting an answer from Wen Shiqi, so he couldn't help but shout a few times.

Wen Shiqi finally came back to his senses from his trance.

She lowered her head slightly, with a bitter look on her lips.

Even though she was now very sure that Uncle Li had lied to her.

But it was still difficult for her to immediately accept that the other person was a liar, or even feel disgust and hatred towards him...

So why lie to her?

"Qiqi...?"

Ming Xiu on the other end of the phone seemed to realize something, and his voice unconsciously lowered, his tone full of worry.

"How are you?"

Wen Shiqi laughed awkwardly: "Do you think I should be fine?"

Mingxiu was silent for a moment.

After a long while, he whispered:

"Uncle Li...maybe he has his own difficulties."

"Difficulties? Yes, I have difficulties..."

Wen Shiqi found it extremely ridiculous for a moment.

Everyone who hurts her says that they have their own reasons.

"That's right, after all, you don't owe me anything.

“After all, if it weren’t for you guys in these three years, I would have died a long time ago.

“You guys helped me and saved me, I shouldn’t have expected too much.

“Even everything I have now was given to me by you.

"I asked for too much and thought too highly of myself..."

Wen Shiqi said.

With every word she spoke, her tone became more relaxed, and there was even a hint of smile in her voice towards the end.

He seemed relieved and seemed to have figured it out.

Be it deception or hardship, it seemed as if she had let it go completely.

But Mingxiu's heart sank little by little.

He even clearly felt the chill coming through the phone.

"Qiqi, don't be like this..."

His heart couldn't help but tighten.

It seemed as if he was about to lose something...

"That's not the case. I never thought of it that way."

He wanted to explain, to defend himself.

But I feel like nothing needs to be explained.

Everything was fine not long ago. He could even feel the shyness that Wen Shiqi showed when facing his confession...

Why did things turn out like this?

“Don’t let your imagination run wild.

"If there's anything, let's talk about it when we meet, okay?

"Uncle Li is here too.

"If you have time, we can always arrange to meet."

He tried hard to grasp something and tried his best to soothe Wen Shiqi's emotions in a soft voice.

However, Wen Shiqi on the other end of the phone remained silent.

It was as if she didn't hear what he said at all.

"I'm going to find you now."

Mingxiu finally couldn't hold back any longer, and without caring about anything else, he picked up the car keys and rushed out.

All he wanted now was to see Wen Shiqi right away.

Explain it to him clearly.

"No, please arrange a time to meet."

At this moment, Wen Shiqi suddenly spoke.

His voice had regained its calmness and rationality.

It was as if the questioning and the out-of-control emotions just now were not hers.

But the more she did this, the more uneasy Mingxiu felt.

"wait for me."

He said only two words and hung up the phone.

Wen Shiqi didn't care whether Mingxiu would come over or not. She hung up the phone and packed up the cleaning bucket and rag as if nothing had happened.

Then, I took a shower...

As if nothing happened...

I even leisurely ordered a takeaway for myself.

She had just opened the takeaway bag when Mingxiu's voice came from the door.

"Qiqi, it's me, open the door."

Hearing the voice that was all too familiar to her, she continued to open the takeaway box at a leisurely pace.

Only after all the takeout boxes were opened and placed in front of her did she get up and open the door...

"Qiqi!"

Jianwen Shiqi finally opened the door, and the man at the door hugged her tightly without thinking.

"you……"

You finally opened the door, I thought you wouldn't see me.

Ming Xiu exclaimed in surprise.

However, before he could finish his words, a cold and angry voice suddenly came from behind him:

"Let her go!"
