Chapter 2396

Xia Huan's expression changed. "Zhehan, what are you talking about? I... I don't understand. Did someone gossip to you and slander me? Xia Xi's my sister. How could I have someone punch and kick her?" Su Zhehan looked up indifferently. "How can you not understand? Of course, you understand. You did this because she's your sister." "You..." Xia Huan's expression changed again. "She always had you under her thumb. Even after she got out of prison, she still had you under her thumb. It would be a great joke to say you two have some sisterly affection for each other. You visited her several times a month over the years, and she would be covered in injuries every time you left. Do you still think someone slandered you?" Su Zhehan said coldly. Xia Huan widened her eyes and felt as if the man had seen through her. She thought he was indifferent to Xia Xi, but it turned out that he had already investigated everything and knew everything very well. "Yes, we have no sisterly affection for each other. Do you have any feelings for her? After all, when she trampled on your relationship, she trampled on your dignity and pride as well. Even though you begged her, she still went to Gong Nanting! She's—" "Shut up!" The cold voice interrupted her. "You have no right to bring up what happened between Xia Huan and me! Besides, she's only a lunatic now. You needn't have to do that to her." "Don't you want to get even with her? Don't you want her to pay for hurting you?" Xia Huan asked darkly. Su Zhehan said darkly, "She has... paid enough. If I wanted revenge, I would have done it myself. I wouldn’t need you to do it! Xia Huan, listen here. Xia Xi wronged me, but she never wronged you. You got everything you own now from her." Xia Huan's expression turned utterly pale, but Su Zhehan turned and went to his study. Xia Huan glared at Su Zhehan's back. 'I'm your wife! Xia Xi is just a woman who betrayed you! But you're standing up for Xia Xi. 'After all these years... can that woman still influence you like that? 'But Xia Xi is doomed to never be able to change her fate. The position of Su Zhehan's wife will always be mine! Xia Xi can only stay in the hospital until she dies of old age!' ... Ling Yiran was dressed to the nines and attended a lavish party. Shen Weifang had gotten the invitation for her. Many aristocratic families and businesspeople of Deer City attended the party, including the Gong family. Ling Yiran chose to attend the party in hopes that she could get close to members of the Gong family and inquire about what had happened between Gong Nanting and Xia Xi. The Gong family member present today was Gong Nanting's younger brother—Gong Beicheng. "Mrs. Yi, even though I brought you in, I have to remind you that Gong Beicheng isn't someone easy to deal with, especially when it comes to his eldest brother's death. He's reluctant to talk about it. You’re bound to be disappointed if you’re hoping to ask questions about his eldest brother and Xia Xi," said Shen Weifang as he stood next to Ling Yiran. "You never know if you'll be disappointed until you try. You're doomed to be disappointed if you don't try," said Ling Yiran. "Why do you care so much about Xia Xi? Is it really just to help a friend?" Shen Weifang stared at Ling Yiran sharply. Ling Yiran asked rhetorically, "What else could it be? Isn't helping a friend a good enough reason?" Her dark almond-shaped eyes were clear, and her beautiful face was so sincere.
