Chapter 261: Chapter 261: Premeditated

He Ziyi finally nodded, tears welling up in her eyes, and it took her a long time to utter three words, “I’m…sorry.”

Su Zixi gently patted her, “It’s okay, it’s not your fault.”

She had realized that Xia Xinyu had planned this all along. She knew He Ziyi trusted her and that He Ziyi would never miss any art exhibition. With Xia Xinyu’s status, obtaining an invitation to each exhibition was just as easy.

As the wife of He Jingyao, it was natural for her to accompany Liu Minjun and He Ziyi to the art exhibition, if not this time, then the next. As long as Xia Xinyu was well-prepared and seized the right opportunity, she would eventually achieve her goal.

So… Xia Xinyu’s target had been her from the start!

She had never expected Xia Xinyu to use He Ziyi as a breakthrough point. Given He Ziyi’s naivety, even if the relationship between Xia Xinyu and the He Family deteriorated, no one would specifically inform He Ziyi to be wary of Xia Xinyu.

Su Zixi looked around at the environment. They were in a spacious, dilapidated room, and it was just the two of them there.

At that moment, with a creak, the door finally opened.

Along with the light, Xia Xinyu’s figure entered.

She walked towards them step by step, her smile sweet, “You’re awake?”

Upon seeing her, He Ziyi immediately trembled all over, picked up a stone from the ground, and furiously threw it at Xia Xinyu, repeatedly shouting, “Bad, bad person, bad, bad…”

Su Zixi quickly hugged her, soothingly saying, “Ziyi, it’s okay now, it’s okay!”

She finally stopped throwing stones, but the anger and grievance on her face did not fade.

Although she was naive, she was not stupid. When she saw Su Zixi being knocked unconscious, she had already sensed the danger. She had been screaming along the way, but Xia Xinyu fiercely covered her mouth.

Xia Xinyu sighed deeply, “Ziyi, I really like you, I didn’t want to do this to you, but I had no choice…”

Su Zixi stared coldly at her, “What exactly do you want?”

“What do I want, you tell me what I want?” Xia Xinyu suddenly chuckled lowly, “Did you know, I just had an abortion the day before yesterday.”

Su Zixi pursed her lips and remained silent.

“After the surgery, the doctor told me that due to my unique constitution, I could never get pregnant again after this abortion, or it would endanger my life… what do you think, what do I want?”

“…Very sad,” Su Zixi said expressionlessly, “But what does that have to do with me?”

“What does it have to do with you?” Xia Xinyu suddenly laughed, “Of course, it has to do with you. If it hadn’t been for your appearance, maybe I would have already married into the He Family by now! Then, I could have easily carried out my plan, I could have… ”

“You could have helped He Yizheng compete with Jingyao for the heir position?” Su Zixi cut her off.

Xia Xinyu looked at her coldly, “Yes, my love is Yizheng.”

“Was he the one who got you pregnant?” Su Zixi guessed, “If He Yizheng treats you this way, why do you still want to help him?”

“Shut up! The person Yizheng loves the most is me!” Xia Xinyu suddenly became agitated, her face flushing, “As long as I help him seize the position of heir, he will surely thank me, marry me, he will…”

“He won’t,” Su Zixi interrupted her, “For her sake, you would commit crimes, but he will only kick you aside once he achieves his goal.”
