The chief ex-husband won't let go of Yi Xiaobao

"If I haven't changed at all after all these years, wouldn't that be even stranger?"

"People have to grow up."

The imposter Zhao Xiang spoke softly, then glanced at Lin Xiaoruo sitting beside her, but did not say anything.

Lin Xiaoruo stood up from her seat and said with a smile.

"They might be coming. I'll go greet them first."

As Lin Xiaoruo spoke, she glanced at the person sitting in the chair and said slowly.

“Miss Sheng, I know you are very dissatisfied with me because of my sister, but I want you to know that after what happened last time, I am no longer the same as before.”

"I will try my best to get my sister's forgiveness."

After Lin Xiaoruo finished speaking, she didn't give Sheng Xia any chance to reply and walked away directly.

Sheng Xia frowned slightly, watching Lin Xiaoruo's departing figure, her eyes filled with a hint of mockery.

"Pack."

The imposter Zhao Xiang listened to Sheng Xia's words, a slight smile playing on her lips, and said casually.

“Shengxia, your personality is still the same as before, it hasn’t changed at all.”

Upon hearing this, Sheng Xia raised an eyebrow and glanced indifferently at the imposter Zhao Xiang.

"And what about you? When did you become so close to Lin Xiaoruo?"

"So all these years, you'd rather contact Lin Xiaoruo than contact us, your friends?"

When Lin Qingran returned from the restroom, she heard Sheng Xia's words.

The current state of midsummer is the best it can be.

Who doesn't know that she and Lin Xiaoruo don't get along?

As her best friend, Shengxia naturally stood on her side.

Zhao Xiang, as her former friend.

He actually sided with Lin Xiaoruo at this moment; anyone would question him for that.

I thought that Sheng Xia would lose control of her emotions and reveal her true colors in front of the imposter Zhao Xiang.

Unexpectedly, Sheng Xia was much smarter than her, and now she even knew to ask the fake Zhao Xiang a question, leaving the fake Zhao Xiang speechless.

When the imposter Zhao Xiang saw Lin Qingran return from the restroom, she immediately turned her gaze to Lin Qingran and said in a low voice.

"Qingran, do you also feel alienated from me because of this? I think we've all grown up together, and we can't isolate Xiaoruo, can we? After all, we're all grown up now."

Lin Qingran looked at the imposter Zhao Xiang and said calmly.

“You’re right. We’re all grown up now, there’s no need to fuss over such trivial matters. So, Xiang’er, you can befriend whoever you want, that’s your freedom. I can’t stop you from being friends with Lin Xiaoru just because I don’t get along with her.”

She paused for a moment, her gaze falling towards the doorway, where she saw Nie Jingchen and Gu Moxuan walking in together.

Lin Xiaoruo stood next to Shen Huai, her arms linked with his, and she was talking to Gu Moxuan.

Gu Moxuan's expression remained calm, his eyes cold.

The conversation between the two seemed to proceed without any unpleasantness.

Shen Huai still wore a fawning smile.

“Even they can talk with smiles. Lin Xiaoruo and I are sisters who grew up together. How could we have such a deep grudge?”

"But Xiang'er, you should know that I don't like to suffer losses. Lin Xiaoruo made me suffer a lot back then, and when my father was in poor health, it was Lin Xiaoruo who sabotaged things."

"I think if you were in Lin Xiaoruo's shoes, you wouldn't reconcile with her either, right?"

The imposter Zhao Xiang smiled awkwardly as she listened to Lin Qingran's words.

She looked in the direction Lin Qingran was looking, her expression unchanged.

Even when she saw Nie Jingchen, her eyes remained completely unmoved.

It was as if Nie Jingchen was a complete stranger to her.

She probably doesn't know how much Zhao Xiang liked Nie Jingchen back then.

"Xiang'er, they're coming this way."

The imposter Zhao Xiang paused for a moment upon hearing Lin Qingran's words, then looked over there again.

Her extremely calm gaze collided with Nie Jingchen's astonished expression, creating a stark contrast.

Lin Qingran narrowed her eyes slightly, watching the changes in the expression on the face of the imposter Zhao Xiang.

But no problems could be found.

She was far too calm, as if she didn't even know Nie Jingchen.

And it was precisely because of her calmness that Lin Qingran believed that the person in front of her was not Zhao Xiang.

Zhao Xiang wouldn't be so calm.

She might leave right away.

Or perhaps Nie Jingchen will simply disappear.

She wouldn't look at Nie Jingchen so naturally.

After all, Nie Jingchen's elopement on the eve of their engagement deeply hurt Zhao Xiang and her family.

"Zhao Xiang..."

Nie Jingchen looked at the imposter Zhao Xiang with an excited expression, but no matter how much he said, he could only use her name instead.

His eyes were completely that of a fake Zhao Xiang.

But what he didn't know was that this Zhao Xiang was not the Zhao Xiang he had been longing for at all.

Nie Jingchen's eyes were slightly red, as if he was unwilling to believe what he was seeing.

The imposter Zhao Xiang listened to Nie Jingchen's voice with a calm and natural expression, even a faint smile on her lips, and extended her right hand.

"Hello, Mr. Nie, it's been a long time."

Lin Qingran raised an eyebrow slightly.

She knew Nie Jingchen.

It seems they must have done their homework beforehand.

Nie Jingchen stared at the pair of delicate white hands in front of him, and was stunned for a moment. When she looked at him, her eyes did not change at all, and she did not even show any anger or melancholy.

Her attitude towards him was as if he were just an old friend she hadn't seen in a long time.

And these are old acquaintances who can't cause any trouble.

Nie Jingchen stared at the fake Zhao Xiang's hand for a long time, suppressing his disappointment, and then reached out to shake hands with the fake Zhao Xiang, saying softly.

"It's been a long time. How have you been these past years?"

The imposter Zhao Xiang nodded slightly, her eyes calm. After shaking hands briefly with Nie Jingchen, she immediately withdrew her hand.

"I'm doing pretty well."

"pretty good."

When she tried to pull her hand away, she found that Nie Jingchen was holding it tightly. She tried to pull her hand away, but seeing that the man in front of her showed no sign of letting go, her expression changed slightly and her brows furrowed.

Sheng Xia and Lin Qingran watched from the sidelines as if they were watching a play.

If the person in front of me is really Zhao Xiang, then watching her torment Nie Jingchen is quite satisfying.

But she wasn't the real Zhao Xiang, so while Sheng Xia and Lin Qingran were watching with amusement, they were more worried about her motives.

How did Lin Xiaoruo manage to contact her?

What is the current situation of the Zhao family?

When Nie Jingchen saw the look of disgust in Zhao Xiang's eyes as she looked at him, it felt as if something had stabbed his heart, making it hard for him to breathe.

He gradually loosened his grip.

Zhao Xiang immediately withdrew her hand, glanced calmly at Nie Jingchen, and then said in a deep voice.

"I need to use the restroom. Excuse me."

Nie Jingchen took a deep breath, stood there blankly, watching "Zhao Xiang's" departing figure, his eyes filled with deep sorrow.

The current "Zhao Xiang" seems to have changed a lot from the Zhao Xiang of the past.

The woman who once lacked any femininity now exudes intellectual charm.

She was elegant and composed, and every move she made exuded a unique charm.

Nie Jingchen took a deep breath, seemingly making up his mind to follow, when he saw Lin Qingran stand up from her seat and walk towards "Zhao Xiang".

At that moment, Gu Moxuan also tugged at Nie Jingchen's hand, stopping him from moving forward.

"Second brother, why are you pulling me?"

Nie Jingchen looked at Gu Moxuan with some confusion and a hint of distress in his eyes.

Gu Moxuan didn't say anything, he just glanced at Lin Qingran's back, then sat down in his chair and pulled out the chair next to him, gesturing for Nie Jingchen to sit down.

"Haste makes waste. You all need to calm down."

He was now calm and composed. Nie Jingchen was incredulous at first glance, but seeing Gu Moxuan's calm and composed expression, he eventually sat down next to Gu Moxuan.

“I’m afraid that once she calms down, she’ll think of me as someone who doesn’t want you, and she won’t want me anymore.”

Nie Jingchen spoke with extreme lack of confidence.

Gu Moxuan's expression changed slightly after being hit where it hurt. He then glanced at Nie Jingchen with displeasure and retorted without any politeness.

"It's like if you chase after her now, she'll want you."
