Xu Xinduo continued to shake her head, âNo, if she really believed it, she would divorce my father according to her temper instead of having so many years of conflict with one another. Either she didnât care about you that much or she never fell for your lie at all.â
Qiao Nian was slightly startled after hearing this as he laughed at himself.
Xu Xinduo continued, âAnd my parents are not in a bad relationship, they just have a very special way of getting along. I heard that my father was very clingy in the early years and was dumped once, so he changed his approach and gave her enough personal space. In the end, this is merely a flirtation technique between the two of them, but in the mediaâs eyes, this was a discord between husband and wife. Wouldnât the media enjoy the news of an unfortunate marriage of a woman who was married into a wealthy family?â
Qiao Nian looked at Xu Xinduo and said nothing.
Xu Xinduo tilted her neck and pointed to the tattoo on her neck, âYou are just an insignificant dog to our family and the only memento about you is this scar. Seeing it, I get a little angry, but thereâs nothing beyond that. The only one getting hung up about this entire incident all along, was none other than you.â
If she hadnât lived with Yin Hua for a while, Xu Xinduo might not have had the confidence to say these words.
After hearing about these constant gossips, Xu Xinduo took her time to observe the interaction between Yin Hua and Tong Yukai. She then realised that these two did not have a bad relationship, but instead, got along very well. The two of them were often misunderstood as their ways of expressing affection for each other were not easily comprehended by the public.
After asking the opinions of the servants that worked in their residences, Xu Xinduo could finally confirm that Tong Yukai wanted nothing more than to move his mansion over to be Yin Huaâs neighbour. If he just attached a small corridor between the two mansions, he would be able to go over there at any given time of the day.
Qiao Nian lowered his eyes and finally said in a low voice, âI love her so much that Iâm going crazy.â
âBut you do not deserve her.â
âThatâs right, I donât deserve her,â Qiao Nian glanced at Xu Xinduo again before he said, âIâm very sorry, but Iâve been tormented all these years by this train of thought.â
âIâm not obligated to forgive you just because you gave me an apology.â
âYouâre right, but Iâm just saying that anyways. Iâll take my leave, see you next time.â
Qiao Nian got up and left as he re-entered the elevator. When he approached Tong Yan, he had walked in a dashing manner. However, he resembled a defeated soldier when he was walking away.
Xu Xinduo just watched indifferently as she continued to sit on the chair and wait.
About ten minutes later, Tong Yan finally replied to his message: [The interview is done, this Lord has gotten the part for you. Oh gosh, Iâm so awesome.]
She typed and asked: [What was the last round of tests about?]
Tong Yan didnât reply but he walked out of the elevator with Li Liyaâs editor-in-chief ten minutes later. He then glanced at her and waved.
She understood immediately and took the initiative to walk over to greet Li Liyaâs editor-in-chief.
Li Liyaâs editor-in-chief immediately asked in surprise, âYin Huaâs son? Why are you here?â
âOh, my classmate was getting interviewed here, so I came over because we planned to return to school together.â
Li Liyaâs editor-in-chief quickly understood and said, âThen you two should hurry back to school. Iâll discuss the contract details with little Zhang here.â
