Chapter 0037 – Goodbye, Chen Jieyi (2 / 2)

It was Xu Yin, and with him came Tian Yuxuan, dragging a heavy sack.

“Daughter, why don’t you go eat.” Xu Yin asked with a smile.

“I was wrong about you last night, we are at least a father and daughter, you can still forgive this little thing, right?”

Jiang Xia ignored these hypocritical courtesies as her uneasy eyes fell on the kraft paper bag in Tian Yuxuan’s hands.

“How did you get this in your hands, didn’t I give it to-” Jiang Xia reached out to snatch it, but this indomitable body was easily dodged by Tian Yuxuan, who pounced and fell heavily to the ground.

“Ow~ You mean that Qin Peng?” Xu Yin said, pointing at the sack.

“He’s right here, this kid really has a lot of guts, ask him what he’s doing with Chen Jieyi’s information, and he dares to say to my face that he’s going to report the case.”

Jiang Xia was practically speechless, she was trying to get the attention of the people in the police station, not for this kid to tell anyone.

The clarity and stupidity of the Mediterranean had driven her into a corner, and without further ado, Seoin tossed her the pistol.

“I’ve already made a deal with Cheng Molin, as long as we find the suspects in these two cases, the two companies will enter into a business partnership from then on, as for who will be the criminal–“

Xu Yin tells Jiang Xia that just now Cheng Yu insisted that she is not guilty.

“I’ll leave the next thing to you, I remember you personally promised me before to get rid of that double right, now I’m giving you the chance, it’s up to you to take advantage of it.”

Said Xu Yin with a flash, Chen Jieyi who was always hiding behind him timidly showed her head.

“Jieyi Chen…”

Xu Yin gradually walked away with his hands behind his back. “Leave the rest of the time to you two sisters, I’ll stay out of it.”

After Xu Yin left, the two of them fell into a long silence, even though they had been kept in the dark, after experiencing Xu Yin and Cheng Molin’s game at the table, Chen Jieyi gradually understood her situation.

Between the two of them there is bound to be someone to be the scapegoat, and the neutral Cheng Yu voted for Jiang Xia to be innocent.

Chen Jieyi finally understands that since the beginning she has been an object to be used, Xu Yin has bestowed her with the meaning of existence and given her the care she needs most, just for this moment, to sacrifice for his cause.

Why…why in the end, my existence is still worthless…

Chen Jieyi lowered her head in aggravation as she mouthed and pulled on Jiang Xia’s sleeve.

“Sister, it’s true that I’m still too bad… I tried doing what you said… learning how you talk… trying to get close to Cheng Yu… but he recognized all of them… “

Jiang Xia turned around and interrupted her, taking her into his arms.

“What are you talking about silly sister!” She choked on her voice as well.

“You’re Jieyi Chen, you’re that proud returnee designer who just lost herself in the slanders of others, you’re not as bad as you think you are…”

In your eyes, we may have been together for less than a week, but I’ve been reincarnated over and over again…I tried to save you!

Hearing Jiang Xia’s concern, Chen Jieyi lowered her eye brows and gently patted Jiang Xia’s back as if she was comforting her.

“Sister wow, I don’t think I’ll ever have the opportunity to participate in home design again… You think, after the low-cost housing is blown up, there’ll still be people who remember that I’m a designer who doesn’t live up to my name, and that I used to have one or two pieces of artwork… If my parents, who have abandoned me, see it, will they still think that I’m a good-for-nothing piece of crap… …”

“I’ll remember…even if even the drawings are destroyed, I remember all those times you were rewriting day and night, the way you put your whole heart into it…I won’t forget, ever!”

“So wow, sis, that’s enough.”

“What?”

Chen Jieyi said with a calm expression and a relieved smile, “That is to say wow, for someone like me to still have glorious deeds to be remembered by others, there will be no regrets ~”

“Sister, I heard all their conversations, between you and me there has to be someone to be the scapegoat, right~ Sister wow, in that case, let me do it, you know how to socialize again, and you also know how to deal with people’s etiquette better than I do, whereas I’m just a worthless substitute, besides… even if I survive, after sister disappears, who will care about the value of my existence? care about the value of my existence?”

“I’ll still be used as a pawn by Mr. Xu, living like a walking corpse, and what’s the difference between that and leaving right now?”

“No…it’s not like that… “Jiang Xia trembled and pushed Chen Jieyi away, slowly raising the gun and turning the muzzle towards himself.

There’s still a chance, it’s just another death, it’s just another flashback, obviously there are still a lot of mistakes to be made, the next flashback will do better…

As things stood, only Jiang Xia understood deep down that she wasn’t afraid of who would die, but she was afraid that killing Chen Jieyi at this moment was the original world line, the right ending.

However, Chen Jieyi seemed to have read Jiang Xia’s thoughts and slowly walked forward, cupping Jiang Xia’s face.

“For a long time, I had the illusion that my sister and I looked the same, but when I listened to my sister and truly embraced my past self, I realized that my sister was so much better looking than me.”

Willow leaf eyebrows, fuller lying silkworms, and long, slender eyelashes curled slightly upward.

With the two faces so close together, Jiang Xia finally got a good look at Chen Jieyi’s true appearance; she was supposed to be a pavilion-ready, mindful child.

In her clear eyes, Jiang Xia saw his own reflection.

His brow was furrowed and his face was haggard.

“Sister, you’re too tired, you’ve given too much for a vain shadow. I’m sorry that I’ve caused you as much trouble as I can along the way… Sister once said that you should live for yourself, and I think that when Sister was persuading me, she seemed to have neglected herself… Sister is always like this, overly concerned about others, often forgetting that she is also the one who needs to be loved ah…”

Chen Jieyi said, holding Jiang Xia’s wrist and pointing the gun at herself.

“Why did you keep your head down, sis.”

“Silly boy…of course I don’t want to be seen with your sister crying and wailing…”

“Alright sis, why be so sad…it’s satisfying to be remembered by your sister.”

We’re running out of time. Shoot me.

Numbly raising her hand, her tearful eyes obscuring her vision, Jiang Xia vaguely saw Chen Jieyi smiling heartily, she wanted to say something else, but her hand involuntarily pulled the trigger.

The sound of gunshots breaking the silence disturbed Xu Yin and Cheng Molin’s conversation, and after exchanging glances for a moment, the two continued to push their glasses as if nothing had happened.

Accompanied by Jiang Xia’s obsessive and mournful crying, the sound-controlled lights in the corridor lit up one by one, a beam of light shone on Jiang Xia, and the shadows under her feet gradually converged into a point and disappeared.

The hand slowly drops, the gun falls to his feet, and the quiet hallway is reduced to a low whimper.

[Farewell, Sister]

“Goodbye, sister.
