Chapter 1055
When Xi Xiaye boldly admitted what she did, Qi Lei looked at her meaningfully and chuckled. “I thought you’d tell me you’re only doing this for business’ sake and there’d be no personal feelings involved.”
“You’re a smart man, so I should admit to my crime before you expose me.” Xi Xiaye sighed before she said coldly, “I’m sure you know about the conflict between Gu Lingsha and me, and these conflicts exist because of the past, including the incident during my wedding with Mu Yuchen, Su Nan’s incident, and Ruan Heng still being unconscious at the moment…even my child, he almost…Let’s just say I have plenty of reasons to hate her.
“I’ve been holding myself back from telling you about all these due to your relationship with her. As a friend, I don’t want you to feel awkward between us. However, I’m not surprised that she asked you to talk to me about this. I just wanted to prove something,” Xi Xiaye said.
Qi Lei smiled bitterly. “And it’s proven that I only have this much value. Actually, I already knew that even without you doing this, everything has changed over the years for both of us.”
Xi Xiaye returned his smile and said kindly, “I’m sure that a lot of things will change. After all, different environments nurture different abilities which then affect one’s personality. I’ve mentioned before that I feel extremely relatable towards you because we share similar experiences. That’s why I kind of understand how you feel.
“However, it’ll get better once you let go of it. Those who are truly strong possess the courage to face their past and bid their farewell. There’s no need for you to hesitate anymore. I suppose I should stop here since you probably know what I mean. Let’s talk about the materials.”
Xi Xiaye paused when she noticed Qi Lei’s expression freeze. She flipped through the document he brought her again. “Gu Lingsha is right. Our storage does indeed have these materials stocked up, but there’s a shortage of it in the market at the moment. Regardless of that, we have plans to keep them and they are not meant for sale.”
Qi Lei was impressed with Xi Xiaye’s straightforwardness. He closed the document and smiled. “Sure! Tell me your terms and I’ll pass on the message. Of course, I’ll be sure to tell them how much effort I put in to convince you.”
“I’ll consider it if Qi Kai offers 20% more than the price that was offered to Hua Heng. There are a lot of these materials and they need to be prepared in batches. If you’re able to convince them, the 20% belongs to you. What do you think?” Xi Xiaye grinned as she glanced at him.
