Rebirth in the 90s: Her Counterattack and Redemption

Chapter 1364: Chapter 813: Resolution

“Brother…” Xiao Xi hesitated, not daring to step forward, and Jing Chen pulled his sister over, “Silly girl, come and take a look, your brother wouldn’t harm you, right?”

The investigation results left Luo Ye and Ye Xuan sighing in disbelief. According to the investigation, Wang Wei had truly turned over a new leaf.

The woman and child Jing Xi saw were merely actors Wang Wei hired to put on a show. His purpose was to force Xiao Xi to return home, but unexpectedly, he ended up driving her to run away from home instead.

The report also showed that Wang Wei had now abandoned all his work and was busy searching for Xiao Xi. The investigators had also deliberately created clues for Wang Wei, so finding Xiao Xi shouldn’t be difficult.

“This fool!” Jing Xi cried while reading, then fell sobbing onto her brother’s shoulder. “Brother, I didn’t choose the wrong person, did I? He really cares about me, doesn’t he?”

“Yes.” Jing Chen gently patted his sister. “I’m surprised by this outcome too. Regardless of wealth, as long as he’s sincere toward Xiao Xi, Mom, Dad, and I won’t make things difficult for him.”

“I’ll call him now.” Xiao Xi said urgently, digging her phone out. Jing Chen pressed her hand down, “Xiao Xi, why can’t you be patient?”

“Brother, now that I know he loves me and everything was just an act, I shouldn’t let him worry anymore. Since I’ll be returning tomorrow anyway, let’s not waste time and distract him from work by having him come over.”

Jing Chen looked at his sister seriously: “Xiao Xi, would I ever harm you?”

“Of course not.” Xiao Xi replied without thinking.

“Then listen to me, hold your position and wait for him to come.”

“Why?” Xiao Xi asked in confusion, “Isn’t everything clear now? What’s there to be unsure about?”

“This is the last test for him. If Xiao Xi is of utmost importance to him, he’ll leave everything behind to come here. If Xiao Xi isn’t as important as his work to him, he’ll call first before coming over. This distinction, you understand it, right?”

“I got it. You’re saying if he comes directly, it shows he’s worried that if he calls, I might avoid him due to misunderstanding. If he calls first, it indicates while he cares, he hasn’t put me first, right?”

“Yes.” Jing Chen patted his sister’s head, “For your future happiness, be a bit willful this time. If he can’t tolerate even this, you should consider carefully, as this concerns your lifelong happiness.”

“Okay.” Xiao Xi readily agreed. People are like this: when they’re stuck in a dilemma, they don’t listen to anyone. But once things become clear and they understand, they can think normally again.

“Jing Chen, who would’ve thought you could be quite cunning.” Luo Ye couldn’t help but laugh. She was pleased with how things turned out; though Xiao Xi’s character wasn’t perfect, she wasn’t a bad person.

Jing Chen smiled wryly: “I had no choice; Xiao Xi was being foolish, I couldn’t do the same.”

“Brother! Is that how you talk about your sister? By the way, Luo Ye, your boyfriend is really handsome, the most handsome I’ve ever seen.” With her mind at ease, Xiao Xi regained her lively nature.

Luo Ye teased her, “Shouldn’t it be Wang Wei who’s the most handsome in your eyes?”

“I should say he’s the most handsome in my heart, but it’s important to be truthful when speaking.”

“Look at my silly sister.” Jing Chen sighed helplessly, “Luo Ye, Ye Xuan, thanks to you both for this matter. I will report the truth to my parents.”

“Alright, no need for thanks. Now that there’s no more worries, let’s go eat.” Luo Ye said, leading the way out.

Seeing Luo Ye and the others approaching from afar, Qu Yue relaxed back into his seat. “It seems there was indeed a misunderstanding between Xiao Xi and Wang Wei.”

“Yes, just look at Xiao Xi smiling; she’s completely different from before. Ah, love can really distress people, no wonder so many people who break up commit suicide. Ah…” Xing Nong rolled her eyes and whispered in Qu Yue’s ear, “Young Master, have you ever thought about committing suicide?”

Qu Yue gave her a sidelong glance: “Don’t worry, even if you committed suicide, I wouldn’t. To me, seeing the one I love happy is my happiness. Of course, seeing them all lovey-dovey, I do feel a bit sour inside, but that’s just temporary. Not to mention, I might have emotional support, so I’m stronger than others.”

“Young Master is being boastful again.” Yaoguang covered her forehead and leaned weakly against the chair. “Qiu’er, what a silly question you asked; if someone like Young Master were suicidal, then there’d be no one left without depression in the world.”
