“Shanyue, did you know that I have met many outstanding men in my life? None of them could ever replace him.”

The room was empty and quiet. Only Li Zhiwei spoke.

Yan Xhanyue and Ye Tianxin’s faces were devoid of any emotion.

“When I first saw Tianxin in the movie, I was wondering if she is Ye Linlang’s daughter. I admit I was selfish at that time. I didn’t tell Qie Wang about my suspicions immediately.

Later on, Xuning confirmed that Tianxin was indeed Ye Linlang’s daughter. It was then that I found out that someone must have been planning to separate Xuning and Ye Linlang. Qie Wang had asked me before if I was the one. I said no.

I’d never do such a thing. I know very well Xuning loves Ye Linlang. He loves her so much that he is even willing to give up his life for her. How can I bring myself to do such a cruel thing?

Never did I expect that it was all my father’s doing. He was behind all these. He caused Xuning to suffer for more than 20 years.”

Li Zhiwei’s eyes were brimming with tears as she spoke.

Nobody believed her.

They believed that she did have something to do with what had happened.

What they did not know was that Li Zhiwei was also a victim in all these.

“Shanyue, I’m telling you this so you know that there is nothing between me and Qie Wang. Xuning is the only one I ever loved. I never meant to come between the both of you. I’m sorry. This is all my fault.

Shanyue, it’s my fault that I have no sense of propriety. I did not consider your feelings earlier. Please do not take it out on Qie Wang; he had nothing to do with it. He is innocent.”

Yan Shanyue did not know what else to say to Li Zhiwei. Why did she not understand what she had been saying this whole time? Feeling frustrated and tired, she took out her phone and called Qie Wang.

“Qie Wang, can you please come to my room for a while?”

After hearing Yan Shanyue’s request, Qie Wang appeared in the room as quickly as possible. Now, he would do anything that Yan Shanyue asked him to.

Qie Wang frowned when he saw Li Zhiwei in the room.

“Zhiwei, why are you here?”

Li Zhiwei wiped her tears away from her face.

Just as she was about to speak, Yan Shanyue’s clear and firm voice rang out.

“Qie Wang, can you bring your little sister, Zhiwei out? She’s disturbing me.”

Qie Wang nodded without hesitation. Her wish was his command. “Okay, I’ll bring her out now. Zhiwei, come on, let’s go.”

Li Zhiwei looked at Yan Shanyue pitifully. She did not understand why Yan Shanyue was so stubborn even after saying so much.

“Wait a minute.”

Yan Shanyue thought for a while and said to Li Zhiwei, “Li Zhiwei, the reason why Qie Wang and I got a divorce is not because of you.”

Both Qie Wang and Li Zhiwei turned to look at Yan Shanyue.

Yan Shanyue curled her lips and continued, “The problem lies with Qie Wang. If a man has a close female friend, I can only admit is that the woman must be attractive enough to warrant his attention. As a man, does he know his rightful place at home? What about his responsibilities to his family? We are his family, but he has always put you above us. That is solely his fault. Of course, you’re not fully innocent here. You know very well that Qie Wang is a married man, but you overstepped your boundary as an ordinary friend time and again.”

Qie Wang was full of remorse and anguish as he heard what Yan Shanyue said.
