Chapter 0029 Those Who Are Already So Unchanged (2 / 2)

Cheng Yu smiled and asked, “Why are you the only one left again? The Mediterranean clocked out on time? What about the newcomer who applied for the job? Is he off duty too? So punctual on your first day on the job?”

He saw Jiang Xia still sitting on the sofa, not saying a word, and his face was very bad, so he hurriedly brought a cup of water and sat next to him.

“Why aren’t you happy? Who bullied you? That new guy doesn’t respect you as a senior? Don’t worry, when he comes tomorrow, I’ll teach him a lesson myself.”

“It’s not him, he’s fine except for the fact that he doesn’t know a thing about design.”

“Huh? Not knowing anything is the biggest problem alright.” Cheng Yu spat helplessly.

“There are really all sorts of people these days, it’s not obvious that this is a scam, and that’s all it took to recruit him?”

“Actually, I’m the same.” Jiang Xia twisted his head and looked at Cheng Yu calmly and sincerely.

“I don’t know anything about design either.”

Cheng Yu: “Don’t you pull it, although the entry assessment you did a mess did thunder to me, but it turns out that those design drafts you gave are very practical wow.”

“Those are all lies to you, it’s not me who designed it at all, it’s my twin sister, the name of the returnee designer is also hers, and the remodeling drawings are also designed by her, only because she had been stimulated and suffered from mental illness, she didn’t dare to go out in public and talk to strangers, so I took her place in our studio… “

Jiang Xia heeded Ran Yi’s admonition that she didn’t tell the whole truth about what happened.

“Ah that’s… then there’s nothing wrong with that, it doesn’t matter if you or your twin sister designs it as long as it’s efficient.”

Jiang Xia’s emotions suddenly agitated: “How does it not matter? I enjoyed her fruits without giving anything, but she can only live in my shadow forever like a double, these glorious silhouettes should have belonged to her ah, this is too unfair to her…”

“Well, did she say no?”

Jiang Xia shook his head.

“The kid’s heartless, she’s pretty happy when she’s up late working every day…”

“Isn’t that enough?” Cheng Yu gazed at Jiang Xia with a smile.

“It would have been difficult for her to be in the spotlight because of her mental illness, and you provided an avenue for her to get her designs out to outsiders and tangibly help a family yah.”

“Many things in the world is not absolutely fair to say, this is originally belongs to her life trajectory ah, you are also in for her to pay, in order to get today’s all happy results.”

Jiang Xia froze, silent for a moment before slowly spitting out a sentence.

“You mean, is that how everything is supposed to be…no matter what efforts are made, nothing can change it…”

“Why be so negative.” Cheng Yu pressed a little closer and said in relief.

“Isn’t it time to make a change? Helping your sister out of the shackles of mental illness has to be done step by step, and maybe in a few years, after she recovers, she’ll actually be able to come to our studio as the chief designer.”

“It’s a rush to compare the trajectories of your two lives, and instead of rushing into things, you should look at what’s happening and document the changes she’s made as a way to make up for what she’s done for you.”

Jiang Xia finally smiled.

“I didn’t realize you were soothing.”

“It’s not like I’m an unscrupulous boss of a sweatshop, it’s my responsibility to take care of my employees’ emotions, okay.”

As he consoled Jiang Xia, he also solved her confusion, and Jiang Xia realized that she had been too utilitarian; she had always tried to copy the experience of how to pass the last time period, but had neglected some of the basic elements of backtracking.

She came here to get off the hook, and the prerequisite for getting off the hook is proving that Cheng Yu committed suicide. As the diary says, everyone associated with Cheng Yu is suspected of persecuting him, and every one of them is a murderer.

Don Painting, too, is one of them.

Jiang Xia forgot that there was no such thing as the choice of saving or not saving someone, Tang Ei was a murderer, and she should have committed the crime in this time and space.

“That is to say, the one who should really be committing a crime is the one who possessed Tang Ei’s body, me.”

Jiang Xia figured out that the so-called backtracking did give her the chance to find out the truth of the matter, but it wasn’t at all for her to try to change the ending of the original world line, but rather for her to follow the diary’s guidance and do the same thing as the real Tang Ei.

The previous her mistakenly thought that the case ten years ago could have a huge social impact like the public broadcast in the Lin Qing incident, she was wrong, the only evidence that could be left behind was the bullet holes, walkie-talkies, and Wang Xu’s vague memories.

What she should have done was to restore what Tang Ei had done originally, to interpret the crime she had committed.

The only thing that could change was perhaps that, like the last Lin Qing’s time and space, everything that went against the original world line would disappear, leaving behind only the deeds and physical evidence that she had left behind.

Since this was the case, Jiang Xia looked at Cheng Yu who was attentive and concerned about her and knew what she should do.

Jiang Xia coldly took his arm and took the opportunity to stick to his body, not giving him a chance to respond, and pouted after him.

“And how long do you plan to be responsible for your staff?”

“Huh?” Cheng Yu was confused and understood Jiang Xia’s hints, but he didn’t expect things to develop so quickly.

Cheng Yu hurriedly digressed to interrupt Jiang Xia from doing further wrong.

“Then again is your sister not allowed to go out at all? After all, after helping our studio so much, I, as the boss, have to thank her anyways, like inviting her out for a meal or something…”

“If we invite her out…” a perfect time came to Jiang Xia’s mind.

“I remember that the low-cost housing on Auntie Li Chunxia’s side is to be completed in three days, right?”

After receiving Cheng Yu’s affirmative reply, Jiang Xia had already silently confirmed the planning for the next few days in his mind.

“Then after the project is over, we’ll have a celebration party, and I’ll go home and ask her to bring her along when we celebrate.”

Afterwards the things are in Jiang Xia’s well-planned, although Cheng Yu did not mention let her pay attention to the distance between men and women, although Jiang Xia also did not say anything ambiguous words, the two people’s bodies but no longer pull away, do not know when, Jiang Xia held Cheng Yu’s hand tightly, Cheng Yu also naturally accepted Jiang Xia’s hints.

She’s finally found the right way forward as Tang Ei – mimicking what she’s done, and since she and Cheng Yu have finally become a couple, they’re bound to have a hazy spark of love at this very moment.

Jiang Xia reminded himself again and again in his mind.

So, that’s it. Since fate is like this, my dear Chen Jieyi, I have to follow Xu Yin’s plan. You’re my double, and the point of your existence is to die in my place, and become the cornerstone of Xu Yin’s career path.

Please don’t blame me, because it wasn’t me who made the choice, it was the Tang Ei I possessed who held you down on the guillotine and made you my victim.

I’m sorry, but this was meant to be a fate that never changed.
