Han Xue smiled and she wiped at her eyes with both hands.
Iâm sorry? There was no point in apologizing.
Her fate was set in stone thanks to this cold-hearted man.
âYe Hao, donât you love He Xiyan very much?â Han Xueâs eyes suddenly narrowed as she looked at the man in front of her.
Ye Hao paused for a moment when he heard the sudden change in Han Xueâs tone. She wore a frightening expression and smiled creepily.
Han Xue laughed once again and cackled loudly. She took a few steps forward, walked up to Ye Hao, and saw how anxious he seemed through the metal grills.
âI bet you love her a lot! Ye Hao, unfortunately, she has been infected with an incurable disease and her days are numbered.â Han Xue said.
Ye Haoâs face turned pale and he asked, âWhat do you mean?â
Han Xue laughed coldly and said, âI donât mean anything by it. Why donât you ask her to do a blood test one or two months later and tell her to test for the HIV virus?â
Boomâ¦
Ye Haoâs tall and large frame suddenly stumbled backward into his wooden chair. He felt as though he had been hit by a thunderbolt and his limbs immediately went numb.
Then, two policemen approached him and said, âMr. Ye, please step out for a moment. Inspector Liu would like to speak to you.â
Han Xue burst into laughter as she watched Ye Hao leave. She wanted to see if Ye Hao would still want He Xiyan back even after finding out that she has contracted such a terrible illness. She wanted to know if He Xiyan was truly the only woman for him.
She knew very well how he behaved when he claimed he was in love. He was only in love with himself. He was nothing but a selfish man.
Ha⦠He Xiyan, now that Iâve lost, donât you dare think youâd win.
ââ
He Xiyan stood in front of the school gates and she was in the waiting area with the rest of the parents who waited for their children to be released from school.
She looked at the time and saw that the children would be released in a few minutes.
She suddenly felt a tap on her shoulder and turned to see Yue Yueâs mother Chen Xi who had added her as a contact on WeChat.
âHello,â He Xiyan greeted her with a smile.
She had started chatting to Yue Yueâs mother over the past few days and they had struck up a friendship. Yue Yueâs mother was a foodie and she was especially good at making desserts.
âAre you free this weekend?â Chen Xi asked.
He Xiyan thought for a moment and realized that she didnât have anything special planned that weekend.
âYes, I am,â she replied with a smile.
âWhy donât you bring Yuan Yuan over to play? Iâd be at home this weekend as well. Didnât you mention that you wanted to learn how to make those cookies? I could teach you,â Chen Xi said with a friendly pat on He Xiyanâs shoulder, as though they were fast friends.
She didnât have much of a choice since her daughter was constantly harping on about Yuan Yuan, so she tried to create chances for her daughter to spend time with Yuan Yuan.
He Xiyan paused for a moment and looked a little hesitant. Frankly, she wasnât in the habit of bringing her children to visit other peopleâs houses. However, she just said that she was free, so how could she reject this invitation now that it was extended to her?
She couldnât come up with a proper excuse and thus, she could only accept Chen Xiâs invitation with a nod.
Chen Xi said, âThatâs settled then. Oh yes, donât you have a daughter as well? Why donât you bring her over too? Itâd be good for my child to have another friend.â
He Xiyan didnât know how to respond.
The school bell rang as they were talking and the children filed out of the school in neat rows.
The earliest to be released from school were the youngest children and the last to be released were the eldest.
Xi Xi was always standing at the back. She walked at a moderate pace and was always seven or eight meters behind her class.
