Chapter 67: Mistaken Person

“I know, Miss Ji, all the misunderstandings between you and Yan Zhou are because of me. If I leave, I won’t disturb you and Yan Zhou… You can reconcile,” Xie Yujun said, closing her eyes at the end with resignation and reluctance.

Reconcile…

Ji Xueli suddenly stood up, knocking over everything on the table, but she didn’t notice. Her mind was entirely focused on what Xie Yujun had just said. She spoke in disbelief: “You… What did you say? Me and who?”

“… Yan Zhou,” Xie Yujun looked at her, seeing her face turn terrifyingly pale and her eyes shift in a way that made her instinctively take a step back.

She didn’t know what she had said wrong to make the other person react like this.

Reconcile with Ji Yanzhou, so her meaning is…

Ji Xueli took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down, but her body trembled uncontrollably: “So… Ji Yanzhou is my ex-boyfriend…”

“Yes, the first time I met Yan Zhou, he got alcohol poisoning because of you. He left me by your side because… my eyes look very much like yours,” Xie Yujun thought she didn’t believe her, so she spoke the truth. But those truths were too cruel for her, and her voice became hoarse.

Ji Xueli’s face turned pale as white as the window paper. She was struck as though by a thunderclap. Her body froze, stiff as a sculpture, and she stood motionless on the spot.

Ji Yanzhou is the male lead…

She had worked so hard for so long, damn it! She had mistaken the person!

She had worked so hard, built up so many layers of expectation…

And in the end…

Damn it! She should never have trusted that damn system!

“Miss Ji, what’s wrong?” Xie Yujun saw her face change and became concerned.

“I’m fine… You can leave now, I need to think,” Ji Xueli took a few steps back until her calves hit the edge of the sofa, and she fell back onto it, sitting there, still unable to accept the truth. She weakly waved her hand.

Seeing her like this, Xie Yujun knew not to say too much. She probably wouldn’t be able to accept it, just like she had been unable to at first. She glanced at her a few more times, then turned and left.

The room was immediately empty.

Her thoughts were in turmoil, trying to clear her head, but everything felt like it was spinning, and her brain was about to explode.

Since Ji Yanzhou was the male lead, then Xie Yujun was the female lead, but what about Duan Qingyu, and what about Song Ruo…

In the novel, she was the second female lead, so Song Ruo couldn’t be the second female lead. Moreover, Duan Qingyu met all the qualities of the male lead…

But the result was… a male N?!

Ji Xueli bit her lip, almost losing her mind as she grabbed her hair.

It’s over. It’s all over…

Can she reload the file and start again?

Right, right, start again. She still has the system! With this thought, she raised her eyes, full of hope again: “System, system!”

There was no response.

“System! I want to restart!” She shouted desperately.

Still no response.

Ji Xueli fell into complete despair. She buried herself in the blanket, the previous moment she thought she was on the verge of success, but the next moment, she found out that she had been mistaken about her target!

She had treated the male lead like this. How could she fix this? How could she face him?

“Li Li, what did she come for?” Han Chen rushed up after seeing Xie Yujun leave.

He immediately saw Ji Xueli’s face full of despair and breakdown. He thought something was wrong: “Li Li, what happened? Did she say something? I knew that person had bad intentions…”

“Wait, I’m going to settle the score with her!” Han Chen was furious and started running down to find Xie Yujun.

“Come back,” Ji Xueli called out.

Han Chen stopped in his tracks.

Ji Xueli found a question that wouldn’t make others suspicious but could confirm her doubts: “After I went abroad… Did Ji Yanzhou look for me?”

She knew that woman must have said something. Han Chen didn’t want her to make the same mistake again. He hadn’t reminded her before because Ji Yanzhou already had people around him.

Xie Yujun must have said something that triggered her. After hesitating for a moment, since she had asked, maybe she already knew something.

“… Yes,” he answered.

“…”

“Go out, let me be alone for a while,” Ji Xueli said blankly.

“Okay, but if you need anything, call me. I’ll be outside the door,” Han Chen reminded her.

Ji Xueli didn’t respond. Her heart was dead, completely dead!

Why did such dramatic things have to happen to her? She had wondered why Ji Yanzhou and Duan Qingyu had quarreled…

Everything had a cause.

It was just that she had been too stupid.
