Chapter 369: Superb Acting From The Duo (I)

A hint of surprise flashed across Ye Lanchen’s eyes. In actuality, Elder Ye’s current att.i.tude was not beneficial to his plan. He did not want the old man to suddenly change his mind and hand over the company to him.

He guaranteed the woman would request for divorce the minute the old man handed over the company. He firmly believed that without a doubt.

A complicated emotion flashed across his eyes when he turned to look at the woman. It was evident that she had broken the vase intentionally. Her reason for doing so was to…

He completely disregarded the old man and left the room while linking arms with Chu Wuyou.

Of course, he would make some arrangements later to deal with Elder Ye.

Qin Yutong’s house.

Xi Ji was a man of efficiency. His personal lawyer arrived with the contract not long after just as he instructed.

The lawyer was a smart person. Instead of going into the building, the person called him from downstairs. Xi Ji mumbled a quick reply into the phone and went downstairs to retrieve the doc.u.ments.

Qin Yutong did not think too much into it and she did not ask any questions either. She was baffled when Xi Ji reappeared with a pile of doc.u.ments and requested for her signature.

“What are these?” A look of confusion washed over her face at the sight of the stack of doc.u.ments. “Why should I sign them?”

She extended her hand toward the doc.u.ment as she spoke. Naturally, she should at least have an idea of what she was about to sign.

However, Xi Ji reached out to grab her hand just in time to stop her.

“What’s the matter? Worry that I’ll sell you out?” He looked at the woman with a hurt expression. “Do you have no trust in me at all? Yes, it’s my fault to have forgotten about you but it breaks my heart to see you distrusting me like this.”

Tang Zhimo told him that Yutong was the most soft-hearted person in the world. Therefore, he should play pity at critical times to get her sympathy.

Indeed, the woman was moved immediately by the look on his face. “It’s not that I don’t believe you but shouldn’t I know what I’m signing on to?”

“See, you still don’t believe me. If you do, you would sign the doc.u.ments right away without checking or asking any questions. If the tables were turned and you requested for my signature today, I would do it right away without hesitation.” A look of pity washed over his face, his tone laced with sadness.

Xi Ji was actually a pretty talented actor.

This caught Qin Yutong by surprise. Her lips twitched but no words came out of her mouth.

How could she sign without even knowing what the doc.u.ments were?

On the other hand, she could not bring herself to refuse the man’s request after seeing the forlorn expression on his face.

“Do you really think that I’ll sell you out? Don’t worry. I’ll sell myself before I do that to you. I know you don’t trust me anymore because I forgot about you.” Xi Ji knew from the woman’s expression that his tactic worked, thus he intended to push it a little further.

“No, I didn’t say I don’t believe you.” She became fl.u.s.tered at the sound of that and quickly explained herself. She feared that he would overthink and misunderstand her intention.

“Just forget about it if you don’t want to sign. I understand why you don’t believe me. I hate myself so much for it. I despise myself for forgetting about you.” These words came out from the bottom of the man’s heart. He truly loathed himself for forgetting about the woman, thus the feelings that he expressed at that moment were especially genuine.
