That was a kind of pity.
It was the emotion Xie Jin Yi disliked the most and scorned the most.
But standing before her at this moment, Xie Jin Yi inexplicably felt an urge to pour out her heart.
Like an erupting volcano, she couldn't hold it back.
"Don't look at me like that, it makes me seem so pathetic."
Xie Jin Yi hated people or things she couldn't control.
Even facing Wen Ting Xue, she instinctively showed her sharp edges to protect herself.
But as the words left her mouth, she regretted them.
Turning her face away, she extinguished the cigarette with her bare hand and said, "Seeing me like this, you must feel quite pleased, right?"
Wen Ting Xue stared at her hand and denied it, "No, I never wished for you to be in such a sorry state. On the contrary, I hope you live more happily, and don't hurt yourself like this."
There were many things she didn't say, but it didn't mean she didn't know.
The grievances and entanglements of the past made it difficult to determine who was right or wrong.
Because she knew well that once they fell out, every word she spoke could become a sharp blade for him to stab her with.
But for Wen Ting Xue, she was certain that she wouldn't.
Yet, such a friend worth entrusting her back to was pushed away by her own hands.
Xie Jin Yi gazed at the closed door again and thought: This is probably heaven's retribution for me, isn't it? I, Xie Jin Yi, will never have a friend in this life.
Because no one could compare to her, and she was unwilling to settle, nor was she willing to entrust her true feelings.
She took out a protective amulet from her pocket and prayed to the heavens.
If there was an afterlife, please let her be friends with her cleanly.
Actually, she didn't believe in the concept of reincarnation.
But this time, she hoped there was reincarnation.

Garage.
Yu Wen Li sat in the car, dealing with overseas emails.
The others stood outside, chatting and waiting for Wen Ting Xue.
But it was Yu Wen Li who first noticed Wen Ting Xue's arrival.
He pushed open the car door, got out, and walked a few steps towards her.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing her troubled expression, Yu Wen Li's brow furrowed. "Did Xie Jin Yi make things difficult for you?"
"No..."
Wen Ting Xue tugged at his hand, shook her head, and said, "She just told me some things."
She knew some of the Xie family's affairs.
And had heard some as well.
But nothing shocked her as much as what Xie Jin Yi told her in person.
The impact was too great; she hadn't fully recovered.
"However, it's not a big deal."
Before he could ask further, Wen Ting Xue changed the subject, "Why are you all standing outside? Do you have any arrangements?"
