Chapter 1145: Scapegoat

Xi Zijun sat in front of a quiet floor-to-ceiling window.

The table still held a laptop.

She was a busy person, still handling official business in her free time.

Xi Zijun still wore a sharp black suit.

But she used to have shoulder-length hair, which she had now cut short.

She looked even more brisk and neat.

Her makeup was in deep, cold tones, which made her look powerful at a glance.

Xia Yangyang suddenly thought of the first time she met Xi Zijun a few years ago.

The scene seemed just the same as now.

She sat there alone, working on her laptop, looking calm and capable, exuding an air of elitism.

Xia Yangyang had always admired such people.

She had always wanted to become such a person.

But during those years abroad,

Xia Yangyang had become very independent.

However, compared to someone like Xi Zijun, she still fell far short.

Upon reflection, she realized she could never be the person Xi Zijun was,

preferring instead the warmth of reality.
