Lin Xi'er looked at Qiao Xuan, her face no longer as sharp as usual. It was as if she had lost her soul, and even her eyes were flickering.

However, Qiao Xuan did not care about all these.

When they were about to go downstairs, Lin Xi'er turned her head and looked at Qiao Xuan as if she had something to say to him, but she didn't say it out loud either.

Qiao Xuan sighed, even if he had to send Lin Xi'er to jail, so what? Xiao Liu's face, would probably be ruined.

She arranged everything here and then went to the hospital. Almost four hours had passed, but Little Liu was still undergoing surgery.

Sheng Liang had also rushed over after hearing the news, seeing Qiao Xuan leaning on the wall with a gloomy expression, he slowly walked over, and said: "Don't worry, she will be fine. I have already contacted the best plastic surgery expert, her face will be the same as before."

"Yes." Qiao Xuan replied listlessly, and then blamed himself, "If there's anything wrong with her, I really can't forgive myself. I know that Lin Xi'er came because of me, and it was me who harmed her."

Sheng Liang patted her shoulder and said: "Don't think too much about it, if you're talking about responsibilities, it's also my responsibility. I shouldn't have let you go in my place."

After saying all that, Qiao Xuan also looked at Sheng Liang with a puzzled expression. "You only told me last night that you wanted me to replace you, how would Lin Xi'er know that it was me?

The color in Sheng Liang's eyes turned, as if he was thinking about something, but he only comforted Qiao Xuan and said, "It might be a coincidence."

It was not a coincidence, it definitely was not a coincidence. Qiao Xuan suddenly recalled what Lin Xi'er had told Qi Chu.

There was also her expression at the time, as if she was very shocked and surprised.

Could it be that she didn't know that it would hurt others, or that she didn't even know that the bottle contained sulfuric acid?

Qiao Xuan saw that Xiao Liu had left the operation room. Her face was wrapped in bandages, only her nose and mouth were left.

Sheng Liang had already arranged for people to take care of her and had also sent people to fetch her parents.

There seemed nothing more to be done.

"I'll take you home." Sheng Liang said.

Qiao Xuan did not speak. She pondered for a long time before saying, "I want to meet Lin Xi'er."

Sheng Liang looked at her, his eyes drooping, his expression deep: "I just received a call, Lin Xi'er died jumping off the car on the way to the police station."

Qiao Xuan opened her eyes wide in disbelief, just like Lin Xi'er's expression back then. She suddenly felt that the world she lived in was too scary.

Sheng Liang brought Qiao Xuan home, but she didn't say a word on the way there, as if she was frightened by Lin Xi'er's incident.

Qiao Xuan walked upstairs with a blank expression before suddenly turning around and saying to Sheng Liang, "I think Lin Xi'er was coerced by someone. She probably wants to teach me a lesson, but she definitely isn't using this method."

With so many people present, how could she possibly do such a foolish thing? No matter how much she hated her, she would never be able to compensate for her future.

Sheng Liang did not speak, nor did he comment. It was only after a long time that he finally met Qiao Xuan's surprised gaze.

Qiao Xuan nodded and then went upstairs.

She believed in Sheng Liang. He would always keep his promise.

Qiao Xuan had already lied down since a long time ago. The news on his phone was all over the shopping mall, as well as the news of Lin Xi'er's death.

Her heart felt heavier and heavier, and she couldn't fall asleep no matter how hard she tossed and turned.

With a click, a message came in. She opened it and saw that it was from Sheng Liang.

She was wearing pajamas and a jacket when she arrived at the courtyard. She saw Sheng Liang sitting on the lawn with the commander squatting beside him.

She walked over and stood beside him. "What is it?" she asked softly.

Sheng Liang glanced at her, then patted the seat beside him: "Sit down first, we'll talk."

When Qiao Xuan sat down, he realized that there was a cushion on the ground. Originally, she wanted to say that it was still cold at night, and there was still moisture on the grass.

"Do you want to know where I went today?" Sheng Liang's voice was still calm.

Qiao Xuan nodded: "If you're willing to say it."

"Graveyard," he saw the surprise on Qiao Xuan's face from the corner of his eyes, but Sheng Liang instead said calmly, "To see my mother."

His mother? Was he the madman that Sheng Tianhao had been designed to sleep in by others?

"She's not a lunatic," Sheng Liang said indifferently, as if he was trying to process what Qiao Xuan was thinking, "She just misses the person she loves too much."

Someone she loved?

Qiao Xuan was very curious, but she didn't dare to ask. This kind of story was always mixed with too much sadness, and she wasn't sure if Sheng Liang would tell her or not.

"When I was young, everyone in the family bullied us, so she always held me tightly in her arms. No matter how others beat and scolded her, she never let go. She once told me that when I'm not strong enough, I must learn to protect myself. I remember what she said. I haven't forgotten it in all these years. " Sheng Liang's tone was cold, just like the night wind.

Qiao Xuan, however, had unconsciously cried. She understood that the reason why he had endured for so many years was for the sake of one day not to let others trample on his dignity.

However, Qiao Xuan was still a little surprised. She thought that Sheng Liang would not take the initiative to mention his mother.

"I just want to tell you that there are some things that are not as bad as what you see on the surface." Sheng Liang turned his head to look at Qiao Xuan, not a trace of sadness on his face.

This was a method of self-protection that he had practiced for many years. Without a weakness, it would not be easily penetrated.

Qiao Xuan understood. It was because of the matter today that Sheng Liang knew that she was feeling uncomfortable.

She sat up straight, looked into the distance, and said, "Do you remember when we first met, when I thought you had no human feelings at all, that you were always cold to me, that you didn't even think you would become like this?"

Thinking of those things, just like yesterday, they had actually already been walking together for such a long time.

Sheng Liang also did not reply. The look in his eyes was as deep and serene as the endless night.

Qiao Xuan had originally thought that after the matter of pouring sulfuric acid into the shop and following Lin Xi'er's death, they would definitely sink to the bottom of the ocean.

Who would have thought that Sheng Hua would block her off in the company elevator that day. His eyes behind the glasses shone with a strange light, "You should know about the relationship between Lin Xi'er and me, her death is related to you, you have to be responsible for it."

In that cramped space, Qiao Xuan could only stick close to the wall of the elevator and try his best to keep his distance, "Lin Xi'er died from jumping off a car, it has nothing to do with me. Furthermore, she brought sulfuric acid to find me.
