856 Are You Crazy?
After a while, Qiao Xi trembled in embarrassment and tried her best to wipe away her tears. “I know I did something wrong and let you down. I just want to apologize to you personally. I shouldn’t have done it. I’m sorry. I was wrong.” She closed her eyes, and two streams of tears rolled down her cheeks. She bit her lips tightly and tasted blood on the tip of her tongue. She knew that she was wrong, but there was no turning back.
Shen Hanxing looked at her coldly. Her long eyelashes cast a small shadow on her face, making it hard to see through her emotions.
“I know it’s too late for me to say anything. An ingrate like me…” Qiao Xi curled her lips in self-mockery and revealed a bitter smile. She closed her eyes and did not dare to look at Ji Yan. “But I-I just can’t control my feelings. I can’t stop myself from having feelings for President Ji…” She experienced hesitation and struggle. She tried to give up and stop herself from wanting something that did not belong to her. However, she could not control herself. Whenever she saw Ji Yan, the feelings that had been suppressed would break out uncontrollably. He was so perfect, how could she not love him?
Qiao Xi felt a sharp pain in her chest. She clutched her heart and squatted down in pain. She cried hoarsely, “But I can’t control my heart. What can I do? I just can’t bear to lose!” She suddenly raised her scarlet eyes. Her gaze was so complicated that it was hard to read. “President Ji is able to love and show a gentle expression too. Why can’t it be me?”
“How could you dream of being with President Ji?” When the team leader heard Qiao Xi’s words, she was extremely shocked. She blurted, “Are you crazy?”
“Team Leader, you said I can fight for whatever I want. Why can’t I fight for President Ji?” Qiao Xi had so many confusions in her heart. She shouted, “Mrs. Ji also came from the slums. How am I worse than her?” If Shen Hanxing and Ji Yan were of equal status, she might be able to leave the scene in shame. She would have accepted that the person she liked was an unreachable dream. However, she was not much different from Shen Hanxing, so why couldn’t she be the one?
“I’m asking you to fight for what you want. But I didn’t ask you to fight for someone else’s husband, did I?” The team leader was a little speechless. Did Qiao Xi not know what a legal couple was? She was destroying someone else’s relationship and marriage. She wanted to be a mistress! Didn’t she understand?
Qiao Xi pursed her lips tightly. She looked a little stubborn. It was obvious that she would not listen.
“Do you want to know how you’re worse than my wife?” At this moment, Ji Yan spoke. He was tall and big. In comparison, the gap between him and Qiao Xi was even greater. A casual glance from him was condescending. Ji Yan curled the corners of his lips mockingly and said coldly, “Do you think my house is a garbage dump and I would collect all kinds of garbage?” The contempt and disdain in his words turned into a cold knife that stabbed into Qiao Xi’s heart. She squatted on the ground, hugged her knees, and was on the verge of collapsing.
Ji Yan’s judgment on her was not over yet. “If it wasn’t for Madam, you wouldn’t even be qualified to appear in front of me.” Ji Yan’s words were cold and ruthless. He used a calm voice to say the most cruel words. “How dare you compare yourself to Madam? Why don’t you ask yourself, other than your background, what else do you have?”
Without waiting for Qiao Xi to answer, Ji Yan sneered, “I chose the best woman to marry. I’m not here to see how you’re worse than others.”
Qiao Xi’s vision darkened and she felt like her heart was about to tear apart. Even though she had a premonition, she found it difficult to accept these words. In Ji Yan’s heart, she did not deserve to be compared to Shen Hanxing. What was even more sad, although Ji Yan’s words were harsh, they were all true. She always felt that Shen Hanxing was from the slums and they were not much different. Therefore, she became ambitious and her desire turned into a beast that devoured her conscience. She had become a total stranger. In fact, she only saw her background and ignored everything else.
