Mr. CEO Has a Crush on Me-Chapter 1447: The Mastermind Behind the Plot Against the Ye Family (Part 3)

"Xie Liancheng, you really have changed, but for me, you still haven’t." Xia Meng said self-mockingly, pressing the half-burnt cigarette in her hand directly into the ashtray, "Tell me, what do you want? I think your scheme against Xia Li can’t be just to find me during this time."

"I did hide something from her, but I wouldn’t call it scheming against her. That child, she’s not like you; what I’ve promised her will not change. This time, I came specifically to see you, and also because there’s something on my mind. For example, I want to hear some truth."

The woman’s emaciated arm rested against the sofa, "Which one?"

"Back then, the Ye Family incident." Xie Liancheng looked up, his eyes glinting coldly, as if pressing, "You were the one who did it, and you gave me the false information. You knew from the start it was her father and brother, yet the intelligence you provided was completely different."

Xia Meng was a bit surprised he mentioned this matter.

Even today, hearing these words still sparked a trace of hatred in her eyes.

"Yes. You trusted me so much, and actually, I was very touched by that. But you betrayed my feelings, and I betrayed your trust, so it’s... even, right?" Xia Meng laughed, lifting her head without knowing where her eyes were looking, "Xie Liancheng, you know what? I’ve done so many things, borrowing the knife of others to kill, but what I’m most proud of is still this one. I heard you’re still alone now; you really do love her, don’t you?"

"Concealing your identity, approaching her when I wasn’t in Manchester. Finding ways to get into the Ye Family, securing secrets. Finally, using my hands to eliminate the Ye Family, making her hate me for a lifetime. You indeed succeeded very well in this matter."

Xie Liancheng spoke of this matter in an already calm tone.

When he first found out that Ye Jing actually had a photo with Xia Meng, he already had suspicions about the past.

After a month of investigation results, upon learning the truth, he finally understood that this woman didn’t change later on.

Right from the start, even before she expressed her feelings to him, she was already removing these obstacles.

"I always thought we were good partners."

When he was with Ye Jing, he didn’t know what Xia Meng felt for him at all.

Only later did he discover, he mistakenly killed Ye Jing’s family, and they severed ties forever, enveloped by despair, he retreated to the United States for a while, only then realizing Xia Meng’s affection for him.

But at that time, he was like an empty shell himself.

Unable to even take care of himself, let alone consider someone else’s feelings.

All along, he believed Xia Meng’s subsequent betrayal was merely her love turning into hatred after his rejection. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

It turned out she wasn’t just hating him for his rejection; the hatred came from when she thought she had cleared all obstacles and he was finally alone, she realized she still held no place in his heart.

Preferring to be alone in disillusionment, rather than look at anyone else.

In the love she thought she had, she actually never had any rivals.

"Here to hold me accountable?" Xia Meng sneered coldly, finding another cigarette and lighting it anew.

Her expression seemed indifferent, but the slight tremor in her hands betrayed her inner turmoil.

"Isn’t it a bit late for you to hold me accountable?" She exhaled a light puff of smoke, "After so many years, discovering this, I really don’t know if I should be moved by your trust in me again. So, are you here today for revenge for Ye Jing? Along with your share as well."
