Chapter 786. Chess Piece (1)
“Chairman Mu…” Xi Xinyi muttered.
It had already been more than a month since that incident passed. During this time, she struggled to get ahold of herself. She had more or less also heard some of the things he had said to Xi Xiaye the other day too.
After that, for a long time, Mu Yuchen did not come looking for her, and this incident seemed to have settled down. Unexpectedly, he suddenly came looking for her now.
“I wonder what you need me for, Chairman Mu?”
Even though Xi Xinyi was unhappy with Xi Xiaye, her resentment was stronger than her sadness. However, when it came to Mu Yuchen, she dared not be reckless. Perhaps, it was also because this man had always existed as an unapproachable leader, so she knew her place much better in front of him.
“It’s been over a month. I want to know what you’ve reflected on.” Mu Yuchen’s calm voice came through.
“I… I didn’t push her. I’m also a victim. Xi Xiaye… She also told me that she saw the car leaving then. I didn’t do it! Don’t accuse me!” Xi Xinyi’s dim eyes were filled with a hint of nervousness as she quickly defended herself.
“You know how it’s like to be falsely accused. Back then, Xiaye suffered so much more than what you’re going through now. Don’t you have the least bit of self-awareness at all?” Mu Yuchen’s voice was very deep, yet it contained a frigidity that made Xi Xinyi shudder.
She snagged her red lips on her teeth before quietly lowering her head. “I admit that I did her wrong in the past, but I’ve paid the price. Right now, my family’s in shambles, my husband has abandoned me, even my child has been stolen from me, my mother’s crippled, and the Xi family’s no longer around. Isn’t such a bitter ending enough? Or do you two just want to push me off the edge?”
