"I didn't want to drink at all, but there was nothing I could do. Lin Zhengyi said he would only talk to me alone as long as I drank all that..."
So, that was why he saw those videos of her drinking one glass after another...
And the only reason she did that was just so she could speak to Lin Zhengyi alone. She had those recordings to negotiate a trade with Lin Zhengyi for his reinvestment into "Three Thousand Lunatics."
But what about him? Not only did he misunderstand her, he even treated her so horrifically...
Despite having guessed that he made a mistake earlier yesterday night, He Jichen was unbelievably devastated and felt like a wild beast inside was tearing him apart when he heard what Ji Yi said. A sharp pain attacked every vein and cell of his.
So, unknownst to him, she really did care about him.
But her good will was brutally trampled on.
