Chapter 1336: Chapter 1337
Chu Xi was startled and subconsciously looked at the person sitting on the sofa.
Chenyue swept over her with stormy eyes and said coldly, “Explain yourself!”
She did not curse, but her tone was even more severe than cursing. So cold that it seemed like ice shards were forming in her voice.
Even though Chu Xi was mentally prepared, she couldn’t help but tense up, her nerves tight, “I…”
Chenyue looked at her with cold eyes, her gaze mocking, “What about you? Speak up, don’t mumble. I haven’t hit you or scolded you, so who are you putting on this act for?”
Even if Chu Xi was dumb, she could hear the dissatisfaction in her voice. She hung her head, not daring to pretend any longer, she picked up Chenyue’s mobile phone from the floor, pressing her lips together in silence as she finished reading the content on the screen… She looked for a whole five minutes, long enough for Chenyue to start getting impatient before she slowly put down the object in her hand.
“Madam, I’ve finished reading.”
“Now that you’ve finished, explain this to me, what is all this about? I asked you to take care of my daughter for a bit. You really did, taking a fancy to Xixi’s fiancé. Do you think that I’ve been too nice lately, leading to some misunderstanding on your part!”
She is definitely not a patient person, and if Chu Xi thinks she is soft-hearted, then she is mistaken.
“Who hired the paparazzi? You?”
Chu Xi raised her head, shaking it quickly as tears began to form in her eyes, “Not me! I also don’t know who took these photos. Maybe it’s the domestic paparazzi that have been following me…”
Chenyue let out a scoff, looking at her as if looking at a fool, “Which domestic paparazzi would dare to offend Mr. Li and report such content. Do you think it’s like in Mema, where paparazzi can do whatever they want! Any paparazzo with a brain wouldn’t waste time on someone whose photos they wouldn’t dare to release. Otherwise, why do you think the media never exposed Rong Yan being with him for so long, until the two of them acknowledged it themselves, then the media dared to write! It seems you really take me for a fool.”
“This…” Chu Xi gritted her teeth, her gaze flickering, “I really don’t know.”
Chenyue was losing patience with her, saying sternly, “You must know why you went to the hotel, what happened there at least.”
“Don’t tell me you don’t know! I am asking you properly, so you answer properly. If you continue to treat me like you treat the media, wait until I find out, and I won’t be as calm as I am now asking you here!”
Chu Xi had originally planned to confess ‘gradually’ to Chenyue, preferably with tears, placing herself in a vulnerable position. Who knew that Chenyue didn’t give her a chance at all, her reaction upon seeing the news was even more intense than she had imagined.
No one gave her time to think; she had to make a decision immediately. In just a few seconds, she made her choice in her heart. Suddenly she lifted her head, bravely meeting Chenyue’s questioning gaze, and said with bitten lips, “Madam, I had an affair with Mr. Li.”
Chenyue was so shocked she nearly lost her voice, standing up abruptly, “What did you say?!”
Chu Xi gritted her teeth and repeated, staring into her eyes, “I learned that Mr. Li often suffers from migraines. At that time, I had just arrived in Capital City not long before and wanted to build a good relationship with him. It happened that I knew an international rescue doctor with experience in that area, so I initiated the meeting for that doctor to see Mr. Li. I followed Mr. Li to Rui City for a week.”
