Chapter 1040: Chapter 1040: Every Lu Is a Divine Assist (10)
Xie Xiaoran’s words, of course, Su Weiyi understood what they meant. It’s just that she couldn’t say her departure had anything to do with what she said. In fact, her leaving was ultimately her own choice and had nothing to do with anyone else.
Xie Xiaoran continued, "Xiao Yi, what I told you back then was all true, it was from my own personal experience. But at that time, I didn’t know one thing: people are different."
Su Weiyi looked at her friend in front of her, "What do you mean?"
"Do you remember the competition we participated in together at that time?"
Su Weiyi nodded. She remembered that Xie Xiaoran had won the gold medal representing Q University.
"That matter had originally passed, but then suddenly my background was exposed, and there were rumors that my father ghostwrote for me."
"What?"
Su Weiyi didn’t know about these things; she hadn’t heard of them at all.
"At that time, this matter stirred up a big fuss, and my so-called father naturally wouldn’t say anything for me. He just distanced himself. The competition committee demanded a re-evaluation and even hired a professional analyst to investigate. The result was unexpected; they concluded that it wasn’t ghostwritten by my father, but it was a plagiarism scandal."
Su Weiyi listened with a frown, but Xie Xiaoran spoke calmly, "It was at this time that Young Master Sheng found me. He was the one who helped me."
Su Weiyi looked at Xie Xiaoran, who spoke with such lightness, but she knew that given Xie Xiaoran’s pride, she must have been extremely frustrated at that time.
"Later, I asked him why he helped me. Do you know what he said?"
"What did he say?"
"He said, if you were there, you would never stand by and watch others throw dirt on me. He just did what you would certainly do." freewebnσvel.cøm
Su Weiyi’s heartstrings trembled. Wasn’t that the time when Sheng Yanxiao should have hated her the most? Why would he help her friend?
Even if he was kind-hearted, how could he say such a thing?
Su Weiyi clenched her hands tightly. There was only one explanation. Despite his anger, despite his sadness, despite his desire to strangle her, he never hated her.
"Later, I asked him again, how could you be so sure I was innocent? After all, even the experts had given their verdict. And he said, I don’t trust you, I trust her."
Su Weiyi was stunned again.
He didn’t trust Xie Xiaoran but trusted Su Weiyi.
Because Xie Xiaoran was Su Weiyi’s friend, because he trusted Su Weiyi’s judgment, he was certain that Xie Xiaoran was innocent.
Su Weiyi’s eyes suddenly warmed up. Xie Xiaoran reached out and gently patted her shoulder, "Xiao Yi, my words were wrong back then. The reason I and that person separated comes down to the fact that I didn’t love him enough, nor did he love me enough. Even if we liked each other, it was just like that. So we could be separated by time and space, and then gradually forgotten."
Xie Xiaoran rarely spoke such sentimental words. Su Weiyi had only heard her speak like this twice, once a long time ago and once now.
"I didn’t quite understand this truth before, but now I do."
Xie Xiaoran said as she took out her phone, pulled up a photo, and handed it to Su Weiyi. In the photo, Xie Xiaoran was leaning against a man’s chest, smiling brightly.
"Who is this?"
"My fiancé."
Su Weiyi looked at the man again. He seemed very mature, with an elite demeanor, somewhat familiar. She felt she had seen him somewhere, but couldn’t recall at the moment.
