Ji Cheng pursed his lips as he glanced at Zhao Ming who was waiting for his response.

  He thought for a while and responded, " If you say that you're a part of my past life, then I can believe. Otherwise, I don't believe in these superficial things. If you're not part of it, then what's the meaning to it." He said with a faint smile on his lips.

  Zhao Ming was slightly startled when she heard his response. He said this very casually but his words hold very deep meaning.

  He said that there is no meaning if she was not in his past. Is she that important to him?

  She pursed her lips as her ears turned red from embarrassment. How can he say such romantic words so casually?

  After their dinner, she gave him another dose of medicine once more before they went to sleep.

  She looked at his sleeping face and caressed his hair lightly.

  ' Why is he so beautiful?' she smiled and bent down and pecked on his forehead.

  ***

  After Wang Li's video was released, Xinyi was caught in a spot.

  In the office, those who knew that Xinyi is Xie Ming's step-sister, they started talking about Xinyi after watching the video where Wang Li has openly said that Xie Ming's sister and Qin Jia are the ones who had given their testimony against Xie Ming when it was not even true.

  Even though the whole office was not aware of the fact that Xie Ming is Liwei's wife, the news that Xinyi is Xie Ming's sister spread like a fire in the forest.

  Since Xie Ming is from Global Entertainment which is under Jin Corporation this became a common topic among everyone's discussion in the office.

  Xie Xinyi was so angry when the news of Xie Ming was revealed like this.

  This was the biggest weapon that she was holding against Xie Ming and was thinking to release it when it was the high time but Luo Ruo, that retard, posted it without any evidence to support her words.

  However, she thought that it might be for the good. Since Xie Ming was gaining popularity by saving Jiang Yan, this post turned all of his fans against her in an instant.

  But only after a few weeks of upheaval, Xie Ming won over all the haters with a single interview and not only that Wang Li's words verified the truth behind her words.

  The only weapon she had against Xie Ming failed that too with no big outcome. Not only that, she got stuck in this drama for no reason.

  Because of Wang Li's words, people are bashing her for scheming against Xie Ming.

  By now she was only the stepsister of Xie Ming but now everyone found out that she is the illegitimate daughter of Xie Rong and her father has cheated on Xie Ming's mother.

  Because of this, she hadn't had a single peaceful day in her home either. Her mother and father keep fighting about this matter. They tried to call Xie Ming to clear this matter but she ignored them like they are nothing to her.

  And in the office, wherever she goes, people treat her like a disgusting and scheming person and many of them gossip about her, right in front of her.

  It's been only a week since Wang Li's video has been uploaded on the internet which has turned her life up and down.

  She was sitting in her cabin and was reading the comments on Xie Ming's interview with Ren Zheng which was still trending and its views were already more than a million and were still soaring.

  'What the hell……!! Don't these people have anything to do?' she pursed her lips as she looked at the comments which were praising Xie Ming and swearing at her for being a bitchy sister.

  As she was browsing on her phone, her phone in the office rang. When she picked up, she found out that it was the call from Liwei's office.

  She was surprised to hear that Liwei had asked her to come to his office. She smiled and thought maybe he felt bad for her.

  She fixed her hair in the mirror and left for the presidential office which is on the 17th floor.

  When she was in the elevator and was on her way to the 17th floor, there were a few people in the elevator and she could feel their strange gazes on her.

  She could hear their whispers but chose to ignore.

  When she reached Liwei's office, she directly knocked on the door and entered when he gave her permission.

  Her lips curled up in a smile but she bit her lower lip to control her smile and wore a grim expression on her face.

  " Li……sir," she called him in a low and depressed voice. She wanted to call him by his name but chose to use Sir instead of Liwei.

  Liwei was sitting on the chair and was signing on a certain document. She didn't say anything and waited for him to finish his work.

  After he finished signing the document, he looked at her. She smiled faintly and said, " Sir, you called me? Is there something that you…WHAT IS THIS?" she was speaking in a weak voice but her eyes widened when he threw an envelope towards her.

  She knew what it was very well. However, she couldn't understand why he was giving this to her?

  Liwei looked at her indifferently and said, "It's a dismissal letter. You are being removed from your position. You're being fired."

  "-_-"

  ' How can he say this so casually?'

  " Sir……fir……fired? For what? What wrong have I done? How can you remove me from my position? I am the most competent one in my department. I have always taken my work so seriously, still, how can you remove me?"

  " Did Xie Ming ask you to fire me? Does she hate the fact that I am working with you and was more capable than her??Even if she is your wife, she cannot make the decisions on the matters of office. This office is not her playground." She gritted her teeth as she spoke in anger.

  Hearing her words, a few lines appeared on Liwei's forehead as he leaned back lazily on his chair.

  " And who are you to tell me that?"
