Mainland China, Chen Shi's flat
Chen Shi had already lost count of the number of days she had not been sleeping well. She was exhausted, but tonight, sleeping was still unlikely for her. Watching her reputation being kicked down the drain was hurting her. It was breaking her heart and torturing her mind.
"I already told you. The one behind this is Zhou Jingren and yet… you never believed me." Came from behind her.
Chen Shi frowned. "Why are you here? I thought you wanted to keep this partnership a secret?" she asked Qi Xia. "And where is your friend?"
When Qi Xia knocked on her door, she almost could not believe her eyes. First it was already one in the morning. Second, she assumed that he wanted to keep their involvement with each other a secret and third, she could not find any reason for him to be here.
"I came here to see how you are doing. And don't worry… no one knows that I'm here. Even the CCTV's outside were blocked."
