My Ex-Husband Is Proposing Again-Chapter 284 - : He is already dead..._1
Chapter 284: Chapter 284: He is already dead…_1
Xiao Ji saw that Zhou Luhe still wanted to lay a hand on Su Hongxing and immediately lost his temper, pushing Zhou Luhe into a corner with force.
Zhou Luhe looked at Xiao Ji in disbelief, her eyes reddened: “You, you actually hit me for her?!”
Xiao Ji ignored Zhou Luhe, grabbed Su Hongxing’s wrist, and led her into the elevator.
By the time Zhou Luhe had reacted, it was already too late. All she could do was watch as the elevator doors closed in front of her.
She kicked the wall in anger.
Su Hongxing, she swore she wouldn’t let that woman off!

Su Hongxing and Xiao Ji left the office building, only to find that it had started raining at some point.
The raindrops on their faces had a hint of chill to them.
“Autumn has come,” Su Hongxing murmured.
This was the first rain of autumn. The day was still blistering hot, yet the evening rain brought with it a coolness indicative of autumn.
“Yes, it’s already autumn.” Xiao Ji agreed with a sigh.
So much had happened in the past summer. Sometimes he found it hard to believe that he had cast Su Hongxing aside to marry Zhou Luhe.
“You should go be with her. I have things to do, so I’ll leave first.”
Su Hongxing turned to look at Xiao Ji: “Xiao Ji, I don’t regret my actions, and I hope you feel the same.”
She hoped that they could both get what they wanted.
“Where are you going?” Xiao Ji quickly blocked Su Hongxing’s way, pausing before he asked: “Are you thinking of going back to Ye Qilan?”
She had begun to retaliate against the Cao family, did she plan to continue?
Su Hongxing looked down at her toes, not saying a word.
Seeing her like this, Xiao Ji felt a deep pang of pain: “Do you have to be with him? I know how much you despise home wreckers, but look at yourself. You’ve become the very thing you hate most, all for the sake of revenge…”
Su Hongxing suddenly looked up, staring directly at Xiao Ji: “Anyone can criticize me, but you can’t! Xiao Ji, don’t forget, you were the one who betrayed me first! No matter who I end up becoming, you have no right to judge me!”
She and Xiao Ji had known each other for many years, growing up together. Even if there wasn’t love, there was still familial love and friendship, right?
He believed she was only seeking revenge, but had he ever considered what the Cao family had done to her?
Cao Meiyu didn’t even spare an old woman like Mrs. Jiang, and even planned to kill her. Why should she silently endure everything that the Cao family had inflicted upon her?
“Xingxing, I didn’t mean it like that. I just hope you can be kind to yourself, treat yourself better. Don’t let hatred blind your sight. In my eyes, you’ll always be the kind-hearted, adorable Xingxing…”
Under Su Hongxing’s gaze, his voice faded away.
Su Hongxing suddenly smiled: “Xiao Ji, perhaps you never really understood me. I’ve just realized, I don’t think I know you either.”
Maybe, the Xiao Ji she knew only existed in her imagination. The one in front of her was the real him.
Or maybe, the Xiao Ji she loved had already died. He died in her heart when he married Zhou Luhe, she just didn’t want to admit it.
She hailed a taxi and quickly got in.
Xiao Ji caught up, gripping onto the car door.
Su Hongxing didn’t hesitate. Without caring if his hand would get caught, she closed the car door with force.
She rolled down the car window. The falling raindrops dampened her face, wetting her eyes and nose. She looked up at Xiao Ji, at this man who was simultaneously familiar and alien to her, trying to memorize his features, his appearance in this precise moment…
