Chapter 702 - 683: Qin Mobai and Lou Xi Deceived Everyone
Shen Ruozhuo thought she must be the epitome of masochism, right? Knowing full well that Xi Siwei didn’t like her, she just softened her heart when he showed a hint of dejection.
"If you’re in a hurry to go out, I’ll send you." Xi Siwei stood at the door, not saying whether he was coming in or leaving.
"Forget it, come in." Shen Ruozhuo stepped aside, inviting Xi Siwei in.
After closing the door, Shen Ruozhuo took out the phone from her handbag and turned it off.
She had arranged a meeting with a heavyweight in the calligraphy and painting circles, and it wasn’t easy to get this opportunity. She needed to clarify the issue of plagiarizing Qiao Bi’er’s paintings.
But all that changed when Xi Siwei arrived, altering Shen Ruozhuo’s plans.
She went to the kitchen to pour a glass of warm water for Xi Siwei and brought it out, only to see him walk straight to the temperature-controlled wine cabinet and take out a bottle of vodka.
Drinking hard liquor in broad daylight, has he gone mad?
Shen Ruozhuo walked over and snatched the bottle out of Xi Siwei’s hand, "This isn’t for you to drink."
"Then who are you planning to save it for?"
"So many men, certainly not for you."
"Then today, I insist on drinking it!" Xi Siwei, filled with stubbornness, was intent on snatching the bottle back from Shen Ruozhuo.
Shen Ruozhuo didn’t fight him for it. If he wants to take it, let him take it!
Successfully snatching the bottle from Shen Ruozhuo, he opened it and didn’t even bother to pour it into a glass, drinking straight from the mouth of the bottle.
"What’s wrong with you?" Shen Ruozhuo asked; she rarely saw Xi Siwei in such a despondent state.
"Qin Mobai is still alive." After gulping down a mouthful of liquor, Xi Siwei put the bottle on the bar counter and said in a deep voice.
"What?" Shen Ruozhuo was full of astonishment; she had seen Lou Xi holding an urn coming out from the airport on TV.
That video is still saved on her phone till this day. She watches it occasionally, and seeing Lou Xi sad and distressed makes her happy.
Yet Xi Siwei is now telling her that Qin Mobai is still alive!
So, was the scene of Lou Xi holding the urn a fake?
"Qin Mobai deceived everyone; he never died after being shot. The morgue and the crematorium were just an act by him and Lou Xi to trick me." The thought that Lou Xi had also deceived him in this matter made Xi Siwei feel extremely vexed.
Shen Ruozhuo hadn’t snapped out of her shock yet. So people can die and come back to life after all?
She now understood the reason behind Xi Siwei’s bad mood.
As long as Qin Mobai is alive, Xi Siwei can’t become the head of the Qin Family, nor can he claim Lou Xi as his own.
Just a few days ago, Xi Siwei was riding high, and now, he probably realized it was all for nothing, hence the distress.
"Shen Ruozhuo, do you also think I’m in no way comparable to Qin Mobai?" Xi Siwei looked up at the overly attractive woman before him.
Shen Ruozhuo was taken aback. How should she answer Xi Siwei’s question?
"Everyone’s hero in their heart is different; there’s no need for comparison."
"Yet you insist on comparing yourself to Lou Xi?" Xi Siwei ruthlessly exposed Shen Ruozhuo.
Shen Ruozhuo’s face alternated between red and white.
