Master Pei s Wife is a Devil Concubine
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 Yearâs 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 Jiâs mind was filled with random thoughts and she forgot to answer Ji Xiâs 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. âSorry if thatâs sudden, just pretend like I didnât askâ¦â
She nodded at her and was about to leave when Su Ji paused and said, âitâs fine. Weâve met a few times during the new year.â
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 Xiâs voice, which was so light that it sounded like the wind could drown her out. âThenâ¦could you tell me how she isâ¦â
Su Jiâs hand in her pocket fumbled around for the candy wrapper, her eyes staring straight at her.
âSheâs a woman whom, even if sheâs divorced, cannot be forgotten.â
How ruthless!
Su Jiâs 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 husbandâs 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, âSu Ji, I hope that what happened between them wonât affect our relationship. I donât have any friends in the entertainment industry, but maybe we can get along. I can introduce you to all my contacts. Donât kill the possibility of us becoming friends because of other things, okay?â
Her voice was really gentle, as if it was an innocent request.
However, Su Ji did not buy it, âMs. Ji Xi, are you afraid that Pei Huai will do something to you?â
That was why she wanted to win her over.
âIâ¦â Ji Xi pursed her lips.
She did have such considerations in mind, but she wasnât worried that Pei Huai would do something to her. Instead, she was worried that Pei Huai would do something toâ¦
She more or less understood his personality, but she didnât 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 publicâs 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 âTonightâs Warmthâ.
Su Ji had also thought of other possibilities. âDonât worry, heâs not that free.â
âThen, as for usâ¦â Ji Xi said.
She did not approve of a woman tearing up her husbandâs mistress. She admired Madam Duâs 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.
âIâm sorry, Iâm afraid not.â
Ji Xi paused.
Su Ji turned around to look at her. âIn some ways, this is the best outcome. Itâs not good to be too greedy.â
After saying that, she went into her room.
The sound of footsteps rang out, and the door quickly closed before Ji Xiâs eyes.
Ji Xi paused for a few seconds and was about to leave when she saw Sonya was standing in the corridor.
She didnât know how long she was there for and how much she had heard, but she wasnât in the mood to think about that. She lowered her head and went back to her room.
In fact, Sonya didnât hear much. When the elevator door opened, she heard a womanâs voice asking, âas for usâ¦â and the other person replied with a âsorryâ 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 Jiâs 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, âI donât know how much she heard. Su Ji was there too, so if you can, please deal with it.â
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, âMs. Ji Xi, is there something wrong between you and Su Ji?â
Ji Xiâs tone was calm and she had no intention of having a deep conversation with her. âNo, we chatted for a while in the elevator. There was no conflict.â
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, âJi Xi, no matter what Su Ji said, you donât have to take it to heart. Sheâs not on the same level as you.â
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. âMs. Ji
It sounded nice, but there was a hidden meaning.
Ji Xi spoke slowly as usual, but she cut to the chase, âyou mean, Su Ji is not a good person?â
Sonya glanced at the camera. After confirming that it was turned off, she paused a little unnaturally, âI didnât mean it that wayâ¦â
âWhat about you?â Ji Xiâs expression remained the same as she continued, âare you a good person?â
Sonyaâs expression froze.
