Chapter 378 - 378 What About You?
378 What About You?
At this moment, Su Ji had a theory.
From the moment Ji Xi met her, she would occasionally reveal a sense of guilt. On New Year’s Eve, Ji Xi went to a bar and got drunk. All these seemed to make sense.
Xu Mingzhi was a good judge of character, but how could she know that Ji Xi was up to no good just by looking at her on television?
Su Ji’s mind was filled with random thoughts and she forgot to answer Ji Xi’s question.
As the elevator slowly rose, Ji Xi held her breath. She was so nervous that her heart was about to jump out of her chest as she waited for Su Ji to speak.
Ding! The elevator reached the second floor, and Ji Xi was the first to speak. “Sorry if that’s sudden, just pretend like I didn’t ask…”
She nodded at her and was about to leave when Su Ji paused and said, “it’s fine. We’ve met a few times during the new year.”
Ji Xi turned towards her. In the elevator, the mineral water bottle in her hand had already been ravaged beyond recognition.
At this moment, there was no one in the corridor. The other guests were still on the first floor.
Ji Xi’s voice, which was so light that it sounded like the wind could drown her out. “Then…could you tell me how she is…”
Su Ji’s hand in her pocket fumbled around for the candy wrapper, her eyes staring straight at her.
“She’s a woman whom, even if she’s divorced, cannot be forgotten.”
How ruthless!
Su Ji’s words sounded casual, but it was a huge blow to Ji Xi. What could be more hurtful than this when you heard that about your current husband’s ex-wife?
Ji Xi clenched her heart and lowered her eyes, her expression hidden by her fringe.
It was obvious that she was hurt.
But who asked her to choose this path?
After that, when Su Ji opened her door and was about to return to her room, Ji Xi added, “Su Ji, I hope that what happened between them won’t affect our relationship. I don’t have any friends in the entertainment industry, but maybe we can get along. I can introduce you to all my contacts. Don’t kill the possibility of us becoming friends because of other things, okay?”
Her voice was really gentle, as if it was an innocent request.
However, Su Ji did not buy it, “Ms. Ji Xi, are you afraid that Pei Huai will do something to you?”
That was why she wanted to win her over.
“I…” Ji Xi pursed her lips.
She did have such considerations in mind, but she wasn’t worried that Pei Huai would do something to her. Instead, she was worried that Pei Huai would do something to…
She more or less understood his personality, but she didn’t know everything, so she felt even more uncertain.
It was also true that she liked Su Ji. She watched every episode of that TV series. When the news of the illegal sale of cultural relics came out, she posted a rare selfie that day in an attempt to divert the public’s attention. However, the news about Su Ji was resolved very quickly. Director Duan thought that she was finally going to make a comeback and asked her several times to participate in “Tonight’s Warmth”.
Su Ji had also thought of other possibilities. “Don’t worry, he’s not that free.”
“Then, as for us…” Ji Xi said.
She did not approve of a woman tearing up her husband’s mistress. She admired Madam Du’s way of doing things. Unless it was someone like Ning Lihua, the men were the ones who were responsible.
However, even if she thought so, it did not mean that she and Ji Xi could become friends.
Su Ji never beat around the bush.
“I’m sorry, I’m afraid not.”
Ji Xi paused.
Su Ji turned around to look at her. “In some ways, this is the best outcome. It’s not good to be too greedy.”
After saying that, she went into her room.
The sound of footsteps rang out, and the door quickly closed before Ji Xi’s eyes.
Ji Xi paused for a few seconds and was about to leave when she saw Sonya was standing in the corridor.
She didn’t know how long she was there for and how much she had heard, but she wasn’t in the mood to think about that. She lowered her head and went back to her room.
In fact, Sonya didn’t hear much. When the elevator door opened, she heard a woman’s voice asking, “as for us…” and the other person replied with a “sorry” or something.
The noise of the elevator blocked the rest of the sentence, so she could not even tell who said it. However, when the elevator door opened, she saw Ji Xi standing in front of Su Ji’s door.
From the looks of it, they were Ji Xi and Su Ji.
She was quite puzzled. Under what circumstances would two women have such a conversation?
However, Ji Xi seemed to be in low spirits when she met her eyes just now. Since she did not understand, Sanya went back to her room.
In the room, Ji Xi sent a message to an overseas number.
It was from her personal phone.
It was a long paragraph, and the last sentence was, “I don’t know how much she heard. Su Ji was there too, so if you can, please deal with it.”
Ji Xi locked her phone and put it back in her bag when Sonya entered the room, so she did not notice.
It was break time now, and the camera in the room had stopped recording.
Sonya sat down on the carpet with her and asked in a concerned tone, “Ms. Ji Xi, is there something wrong between you and Su Ji?”
Ji Xi’s tone was calm and she had no intention of having a deep conversation with her. “No, we chatted for a while in the elevator. There was no conflict.”
Of course, Sonya knew that she was lying, but since she did not want to talk to her about it, she did not insist on it. Instead, she comforted Ji Xi with a hidden meaning in her words, “Ji Xi, no matter what Su Ji said, you don’t have to take it to heart. She’s not on the same level as you.”
Ji Xi slowly turned to look at her. For the first time, there was a different emotion in her usually gentle eyes, which looked rather cold.
Sonya thought that Ji Xi was finally willing to reveal her true self to her. “Ms. Ji
It sounded nice, but there was a hidden meaning.
Ji Xi spoke slowly as usual, but she cut to the chase, “you mean, Su Ji is not a good person?”
Sonya glanced at the camera. After confirming that it was turned off, she paused a little unnaturally, “I didn’t mean it that way…”
“What about you?” Ji Xi’s expression remained the same as she continued, “are you a good person?”
Sonya’s expression froze.
