"Sorry, excuse me."

Fu Hanjiang smiled, apologized to the people around him, turned around and left quickly.

...

Fu Hanjiang almost jogged the whole way.

The bluestone stele mentioned by Sheng Xiangsi was the former pier on the island, which is now abandoned.

This area is very quiet.

"Sheng Xiangsi?"

After arriving, Fu Hanjiang did not see Sheng Xiangsi.

Looking around, he called out her name, "Where are you? I'm here! Sheng Xiangsi, Xiangsi..."

"Hanjiang..."

Someone was calling him from behind.

Fu Hanjiang suddenly turned around and looked over.

Then, after seeing who was coming, his facial features, which had been originally excited, quickly fell down, and the smile also disappeared at that moment, without a trace.

"It's you?"

Fu Hanjiang frowned and looked down at Xi Chen, "How did you get in..."

He stopped talking before he finished the question.

Because the answer is obvious...it's Sheng Xiangsi.

"Ah."

Fu Hanjiang laughed sarcastically, "You ask her for help? You are a girl, you are so shameless!"

"!"

Xi Chen shrank back, his shoulders shaking.

If Sheng Xiangsi got it right, he would not talk to her nicely.

Fu Hanjiang frowned, "Hurry up and leave! I'll find someone to invite you! That will be embarrassing!"

If you are impatient, leave.

"Lu Hanjiang!"

Xi Chen quickly stood in front of him and looked up at him, "Can't you listen to me for a few words?"

"What is there to say?" Fu Hanjiang took a step back and glanced at her.

"I……"

Xi Chen's lips trembled, feeling angry and embarrassed. "I came here to apologize to you. I was wrong to lie to you... I'm sorry."

"..."

Fu Hanjiang was stunned for a moment, then he smiled and said, "Just for this? You followed me here?"

"Yes!"

Xi Chen nodded, with tears in his voice, "What can I do? You refused to see me and blocked me..."

"Xi Chen."

Fu Hanjiang sighed lightly and shook his head.

"Don't you understand what I mean by doing this?"

A dark color flashed across his eyes, "You should be grateful that you have a good family background. In addition, this matter was Lu Heqing's idea. I saved face for you, and also for the Xi family..."

His tone dropped, "Clear enough?"

"..."

Xi Chen bit his lower lip and nodded with difficulty. "I know, I just want to say sorry to you in person."

"Finished?"

Fu Hanjiang said coldly, "Then you can go. I think your best apology... is to disappear from my life and never bother me again!"

"Then I will believe that you are truly sorry for deceiving me."

"..."

Xi Chen opened his lips slightly, staring blankly at the man in front of him.

Handsome facial features, high nose bridge, thin lips, even the outline is impeccable...

He is really handsome, but also really ruthless.

"I……"

Xi Chen closed her eyes, tears silently falling, and she choked up and asked, "I want to ask you, during the days when I took care of you... did you develop any feelings for me, even a little bit?"

"No."

Without pausing, Fu Hanjiang shook his head.

His deep eyes looked at her, cold and lonely, "To be honest, apart from the layer of 'girlfriend', your care for her is really not very good... and..."

He said: "I have a nurse by my side, so you are not too hard-working."

"!" Xi Chen's whole body shook, and his upper and lower teeth collided and made a chattering sound.

"No, it won't..."

Xi Chen already understood it in his heart, but he just couldn't accept it for the time being.

"You've been very good to me in the past six months! We've obviously been getting along very well during this time."

"Very good?"

Fu Hanjiang asked back, the indifference still persisting on his handsome face.

"But what I respect is the identity of 'girlfriend'. As for this person... it's you or anyone else, it's the same, there is no difference."

"..."

Xi Chen was silent, staring at him blankly.

No one spoke for a long time.

"Can I leave now?" Fu Hanjiang didn't have the patience to waste any more time with her.

"Um……"

Xi Chen nodded, curled up the corners of his lips and smiled a little, but it was helpless and bitter.

"You go."

Fu Hanjiang said nothing more, walked past her and strode away.

Looking at his back, Xi Chen smiled even more, and gradually, he laughed out loud, "Ha, ha ha."

He murmured softly, "Yeah, I'm not Sheng Xiangsi. I don't even have the chance to spend ten years to get him to look at me."

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

Xi Chen suddenly squatted on the ground, covered his cheeks and burst into tears.

...

Sheng Xiangsi looked towards the bluestone bricks from time to time, somewhat absent-mindedly.

"Sheng Acacia."

Someone was calling her from behind.

"?" Sheng Xiangsi turned around, saw who it was, and smiled suddenly, "Mr. Liao, good evening."

"good evening."

Liao Qingming nodded slightly, took two steps forward, and stood beside her. "Mind if I chat with you for a few minutes?"

"of course not."

Sheng Xiangsi smiled and shook her head, then asked him about what happened before, "Is your shirt returned to you?"

Liang Shi had already told her about this.

I'm just asking one more question out of courtesy.

"Yes." Liao Qingming nodded.

He looks like he doesn't talk much.

Sheng Xiangsi was curious, as he seemed to have very little interaction with other guests.

"Mr. Liao." Sheng Xiangsi said with some confusion, "Are you not interested in tonight's activities? Don't you like excitement?"

"That's it."

Liao Qingming nodded. "The main reason is that I am not very familiar with these people. To be exact, I only know a few of them."

"?"

Is it so strange?

Sheng Xiangsi became even more curious about his identity, "How come?"

Most of those invited here this time are Jiangcheng's top wealthy families or important dignitaries.

Those with lower status are probably not qualified.

Logically speaking, these people all know each other and have a close relationship with each other.

"Weird?"

Liao Qingming raised his eyebrows and said, "I am not from Jiangcheng. I was transferred to Jiangcheng not long ago because of work."

Oh……

Sheng Xiangsi suddenly realized that this was the case.

But what does it mean because of work?

"Here."

Seeing her confusion, Liao Qingming raised his hand and pointed at the uniformed police officers patrolling the scene.

He took the initiative to clear her confusion, "Did you see them?"

"Hmm? Yes." Sheng Xiangsi nodded. Of course she saw it.

Looking at her confused appearance, Liao Qingming's gaze towards her seemed to be covered by a veil.

"I am their superior."

"?!"

Sheng Xiangsi was slightly startled, her eyebrows raised slightly, and her pink lips opened, "So, you are...?"

"Yes."

Liao Qingming nodded, and the corners of his mouth curved slightly.

"I am the chief of the Jiangcheng General Administration. This is what I mean by 'General Liao'."

"what."

Sheng Xiangsi suddenly realized.

Understood.

No wonder he showed up at White Lake Prison that day. He must have been there on official business.

No wonder, the prison guard did as he said.

Liao Qingming laughed at himself and added, "I, Mr. Liao, cannot be compared with Mr. Fu and Mr. Lu."
