Chapter 899: Chapter 896: Mysterious Gift 3
Xu Xiaoya couldn’t help but laugh and secretly nudged her, "Stop talking nonsense."
She was nonchalant: "I’m speaking so softly, who can hear?? This Yan Xixi woman, hahaha, today I’m also venting some of my anger with her."
Now, she looked at Zhou Ting, and she disliked her ten times—no, a hundred times—more than she disliked Yan Xixi. This woman completely relied on her family background and tactics to get Huang Xiaojue. Damn this malicious unhealthy competition, it’s really frustrating.
Xu Xiaoya knew she was clinging to a luxurious hope after the divorce, surely her heart was coveting Huang Xiaojue, so she didn’t argue with her.
"What do you think, what big gift did Yan Xixi give to Zhou Ting?"
"How should I know?"
"Look, Zhou Ting left... she’s definitely furious..."
Xu Xiaoya followed her gaze, and sure enough, Zhou Ting left in a hurry.
She was puzzled over what gift Xixi had given Zhou Ting that made her so thunderously angry?
"Tell Yan Xixi, I’ll give her a gift this Christmas..."
"What gift?"
"A brainless pill."
Xu Xiaoya laughed, "You’re the one who should take the brainless pill, alright?"
"Haha, who asked her to be so arrogant. You know, during our school days, I always suffered at her hands because I wasn’t as pretty as her, always losing out to her. Now it’s great, Zhou Ting has been outdone by her, haha, turns out I’m not the only unlucky one."
The mixed snow and rain were very dense, just past noon, the sky was gloomy, like the end of the world.
Taxis came and went but none were available.
Yan Xixi tightened the fox fur around her as the wind and snow blew against her face.
Suddenly, an odd sensation, she turned around.
Huang Xiaojue stood two meters away.
A creamy white coat over his suit, a camel-colored cashmere scarf... in the snow and rain, his eyes were exceptionally bright.
She didn’t know if it was the wind and snow in her eyes or what, but Yan Xixi’s eyes felt a little moist.
She recognized that scarf.
It was when she first earned over fifty thousand in salary, bought three 2,999 yuan cashmere scarves with great flair, and gave them to Huang Xiaojue, Huang Dad and Huang Mom. Although they weren’t luxury items, it was her first time spending money so lavishly.
It was also her first official entrance into the Huang Family’s home.
That was her compensation to him... her first heartfelt attempt to repay him after leeching off him for so many years.
Later, those little gifts, little trinkets, were all thrown away by Zhou Ting.
But only this scarf was kept.
Maybe because this scarf was always in his own bachelor apartment and Zhou Ting never found it?
Huang Xiaojue followed her gaze, noticing the scarf as well—he suddenly felt a bit flustered, he didn’t expect... it wasn’t a deliberate choice to wear this scarf... in fact, he often wore it, as if it became a habit.
This was already the last gift she left him.
The two stood like statues in the wind and snow.
In the end, they still became passerby.
Even, they still became enemies.
After a long while, Yan Xixi finally whispered, "Xiaojue, wishing you happiness in your new marriage."
He looked at her silently and spoke quietly, "Xixi, you should know, there’s no turning back for me."
She raised her head, unable to bear it any longer, "Why did you choose this path initially?"
Originally, you could continue to work hard in that multinational company, the youngest and most promising CEO, with infinite prospects, or go to the South Country—for you, I was even willing to resign—but in the end, you actually left too.
