"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?"

"Your life is worthless to me. You brought all of this onto yourself. Your sister has already pleaded for you. You must know that I didn't plan to let you off back then, but for the sake of your sister and your father, I won't make things too hard for you."

"Plead? Would she? Ha! I wouldn't thank her!" Xi Xinyi smiled bitterly. Even though she said it in a provoking tone, it no longer had the hostile threatening attitude.

"She doesn't care about your attitude, but with me, I'm not satisfied with your performance."

"What do you want?" Xi Xinyi fixed her gaze on Mu Yuchen's back as if she was throwing daggers at him.

"You understand very well what your sister wants. She hopes that this incident will just end here, so everyone can keep the peace. I respect what she wants, so I won't continue investigating either. The other day, we unintentionally mentioned you. Obviously, Father hopes that all will return to peace, thus today, I've come looking for you to confirm something first," Mu Yuchen said calmly, yet Xi Xinyi already knew what he meant.

"You don't have to continue. I admit that I've lost completely. As for Xi Xiaye, I have nothing else to say to her. Even though I wasn't the direct cause of the incident this time, I'll consider things even," Xi Xinyi replied desolately and bitterly. She looked like she had resigned to fate. What else could she do right now?

She lost a love that she wanted to hold onto, and her son. All of the things she cared about have broken despite her persistence, and now she was alone like a walking corpse.

She suddenly missed those times in the past. Back then, many people adored her and Han Yifeng tolerated and doted on her, but now, those were all gone. It was as if she had aged by the decade. She could not feel spirited at all. Even if the movies that were released in the theatres performed spectacularly at the box office, it did not give her the kind of happiness she expected to experience.
