Chapter 207
When Xuan Yi said this, Ji Fei and Qin Xian, who were eavesdropping, were both stunned.
Because they both knew the reason, and logically speaking, Xuan Yi should have been the last person to dare mention it.
Moreover, why here? What was Xuan Yi trying to do?
Inside, Tang was also taken aback. Originally, she thought this sister-in-law had come to persuade her to leave on behalf of the Luo family, as such scenes were common in wealthy families. But what did this mean now?
"What?" Tang actually no longer cared about the reason, but was just confused by Xuan Yi's behavior.
Xuan Yi's eyes flickered as she explained helplessly: "Actually, it's because of his ex-girlfriend. For the future of the family, she chose to marry someone more suitable, giving up their love. His ex-girlfriend wronged him, but still loved him in her heart. He also loved his ex-girlfriend too much and couldn't accept this outcome. The pain in his heart made him overreact, always wanting to test if women approaching him were just after his money. That's why he deceived you for so long..."
Tang froze, her expression becoming even worse than before.
[She actually dared to say it, is she crazy? Aren't you afraid others will hear and then... wait? Since her relationship with Luo Zhou was secret, no one knew they were dating. If other members of the Luo family heard this gossip, they wouldn't imagine this so-called ex-girlfriend was actually Xuan Yi. So Xuan Yi wasn't afraid to use this truth to strike Tang's heart. But how did she know this would affect Tang so much?]
Qin Xian frowned in thought, indeed it was so.
Previously, Tang at most thought it was just a rich kid's 'adventure' type of deception.
But now Tang knew that the reason she suffered such treatment was actually because of another woman.
It was hard to say which was more devastating.
[Or maybe she's just subtly showing off?] Ji Fei couldn't help but check, [Damn... she's really calculating. Xuan Yi must be worried that Tang is too love-struck and might stay with Luo Zhou even after being deceived. And for dealing with someone who's love-struck, this kind of revelation would definitely be more devastating.]
Sure enough, even through the phone screen, Ji Fei could see how badly Tang was affected.
For Tang, this was far more insulting than simple deception - it was an insult to her love.
[Tsk tsk, Luo Zhou is completely done for now. Although Tang agreeing to come here meant she had already decided to break up, now, knowing the truth, she's probably beyond furious.]
Although Luo Zhou was Qin Xian's good friend, in this matter, Qin Xian could only mourn for his brother.
[If she knew this sister-in-law was actually the ex-girlfriend, Tang would probably be even more disgusted.]
Qin Xian thought Xuan Yi had already pushed it to the limit. She wouldn't be so impulsive as to expose such a flaw, after all, she couldn't guarantee how Tang would react if she knew the truth.
Just as he was thinking this, they heard Xuan Yi inside seemingly muttering to herself sadly: "Sigh, the way he torments himself and those around him really makes one worry..."
This tone could barely pass as a sister-in-law concerned about family, but the hidden sadness made it sound more like someone personally involved.
Ji Fei and Qin Xian, knowing the truth, could only feel disgusted.
Tang, already sensitive and especially about matters concerning Luo Zhou, immediately noticed the odd tone.
She looked up at Xuan Yi puzzled.
Xuan Yi's eyes were filled with sadness as she unconsciously touched a necklace around her neck.
This necklace was one Xuan Yi had just changed into, which Tang hadn't noticed before, but now she did.
Looking at its material and style, Tang's face turned pale instantly.
"This necklace is...?" Tang's voice was hoarse, filled with disbelief.
Xuan Yi seemed to just come back to her senses, showing obvious panic, then deliberately avoided Tang's gaze.
"It's... it's a birthday gift from family. Why? Does Miss Tang like it? I'm afraid you can't buy this - there's only one in the world. Due to the uniqueness of the material, only one necklace could be made, with enough leftover material for a small bracelet as a bonus gift. I just don't know where the bonus gift went, otherwise I could give it to Miss Tang as compensation for Luo Zhou's deception."
Ji Fei was a bit confused by this part of the drama.
[Why did Tang suddenly bring up the necklace... Though Xuan Yi's reaction was also strange, as if it was a gift from Luo Zhou... Wait? Could it really be from him? But how would Tang know?]
Suddenly, Qin Xian moved beside her, bumping Ji Fei's shoulder. She looked at him curiously.
Qin Xian's expression was somewhat peculiar as he looked at Ji Fei, using his free hand to grab her wrist where she wore a bracelet, pointing at it and then at Tang on the screen.
Ji Fei still didn't get it.
Just then, elegant music drifted up from downstairs as the band started testing their instruments.
Qin Xian leaned over, bringing his lips close to Ji Fei's ear, almost whispering: "Tang's bracelet."
At this moment, Ji Fei's brain was slow to react, but it wasn't her fault for being slow with the gossip. It was because Qin Xian's breath completely fell on Ji Fei's sensitive ear, instantly making that area heat up. Combined with his deep, magnetic voice, making her ear both itchy and numb, it's no exaggeration to say that Ji Fei, slightly weak to voices, almost went weak in the knees.
Usually, Qin Xian's voice had a naturally cool effect, calm and composed, making people just think it was pleasant without other thoughts.
But at this moment.
[Damn! My ears are going to get pregnant! How can Qin Xian make such a sound, is he deliberately seducing people?! Who knew he had the potential to be such a male enchanter!]
Aliali: 67542911ab2494648e021227Qin Xian, who truly just wanted to provide his wife with key clues for better gossip appreciation, now had ears redder than Ji Fei's.
Somewhat annoyed and uncomfortable, he gave Ji Fei a look, but could only remain innocently silent in the end.
Meanwhile, the Qin family members downstairs were deeply engrossed in the drama. Although piecing together the truth from fragments of thoughts was troublesome, they weren't mentally prepared for such an unexpected turn in the eavesdropping.
The Qin family members: ...
Who knew Qin Xian had such a side.
Was this potential brought out for pursuing his wife?
So, what exactly does a male enchanter's voice sound like?
They almost lost focus on the main drama.
Fortunately, Ji Fei was a professional drama follower. Though momentarily distracted by beauty, she quickly came to her senses.
[What did Qin Xian just say? Tang's bracelet, the one from when we helped her pick up her things? Huh? Wait, Xuan Yi also mentioned a bracelet, why did she waste words on that? No, it can't be what I'm thinking, let me check... Holy shit! Luo Zhou, you're really dead! Xuan Yi, you're sick too! You're all mentally ill!]
