<h4>Chapter 298: Chapter 298: Intentional</h4>


    Ji Yu really couldn’t understand what was soplicated about this matter. She’d been agonizing over it for so long already. Didn’t she realize that her face could only look like this?


    "For this face to even maintain its current appearance is already very good, and I told you this before I performed the surgery."


    Ji Yu couldn’tprehend why there were patients like this. Even when dealing with an adversary, first and foremost she was a doctor, and there was no other angle to this for her.


    "You’re spouting nonsense! My face could clearly have been more beautiful. You deliberately did this to keep me looking like this when you could have made me prettier!"


    She seemed to grow emotional as she said this, her tone bing increasingly agitated.


    "You’re afraid that once I be beautiful, I’ll steal Xiao away from you."


    To be honest, Ji Yu rarely found herself at such a loss for words.


    Upon hearing those statements, Ji Yu felt like her brain was starting to shrink.


    "If you had even a shred of sense, you wouldn’t have said something like that. If you want your face to look more natural, the only way is to restore it to its original state. The way you look now is exactly how your face was meant to be."


    Her calctions were wless.


    The problem was that Song Xuan couldn’t ept such a clean and refined appearance.


    "And do you think being loved is predicated on having a beautiful face? When you were with Gu Qixiao before, did you ever sense his disdain toward you?"


    Song Xuan fell silent.


    Back when her face hadn’t been restored, Gu Qixiao had clearly been considerate and caring toward her. But for some reason, after her face was restored, Gu Qixiao hadpletely changed.


    "I don’t understand what you’re trying to say here."


    "What I’m saying is very clear: you undervalue yourself, and that’s why you think your face is the cause of your failed rtionship. The truth is, you never had his heart from the beginning." Ji Yu typically avoided discussing such matters in front of others, but seeing how the other party had reached this state, she felt obligated toy it all out.


    "No one is born wless, and it was the things you did that ultimately led to the copse of your rtionship. You’ve never once truly reflected on yourself."


    If she had acted better, maybe the two of them could have had a chance.


    But regrettably, things had already reached this point, and there was no turning back.


    Song Xuan let out a coldugh.


    "You have everything, so of course it’s easy for you to say those things. If you were in my position, you wouldn’t be speaking so lightly."


    "Maybe. But I’m a doctor, and I believe every face of my patients is uniquely beautiful." Ji Yu didn’t like looking at those cookie-cutter faces that were conventionally attractive; she preferred the most natural appearances.


    That said, the universal desire for beauty was easy enough to understand; wanting to be more beautiful was entirely reasonable, though the path to achieving it often came with plenty of difficulties.


    "ming everything on your face is unfair to yourself."


    Her face wasn’t at fault.


    "The problem lies with you, not your face." Ji Yu had never been caught off guard by matters like this.


    At the very least, she’d never agonized over her face.


    "Stop talking nonsense. Do you think I don’t know? Xiao only likes you for your face anyway. When you inevitably grow older and lose your looks, he’ll fall for someone else."


    Ji Yu remained remarkably calm about this.


    After all, she possessed the confidence to do so.


    "I don’t care about how things will ultimately turn out. If there’s no result, then we’ll split up. It’s really not a big deal."


    She was quite rational about this matter.


    After all, everyone tended to nce more at beautiful people.


    But if someone crossed any fundamental lines, there would be no future.


    "How can you say that so nonchntly?" Song Xuan still couldn’t understand whether she actually loved or didn’t love him.


    Wasn’t love about possession? Using methods like this against Gu Qixiao—didn’t it risk unexpected consequences?


    "Why shouldn’t I say it nonchntly? To me, these things all follow the same principle. I have my own skills, so no matter what happens, I’m not afraid." Even if she were to separate from Gu Qixiao, she had her own work to focus on.


    Song Xuan, however, was evidently different.


    Ji Yu observed the situation before her and understood this person to some extent.


    "You were too fixated before. When Gu Qixiao sent you to study, why didn’t you take the opportunity to actually learn properly?"


    "Why should I study? As long as I be Gu Qixiao’s wife, I’ll have everything afterward." If she became Gu Qixiao’s wife, none of this would even be an issue.


    Ji Yu would never lose herself over a man.


    That’s where the gap between themy.


    "Do you think what I’ve been doing is pointless? In truth, everything I’ve done has been to give myself enough capital. Even when I married Gu Qixiao, it was for the same reason."


    Though they hadn’t met face-to-face.


    Mr. Gu had indeed given Ji Yu considerable support. Judging by the final oue, Gu Qixiao likely wasn’t aware of this matter.


    Things had already progressed to this stage, and Ji Yu didn’t care to say much more.


    "Now, it’s not just about figuring out what Gu Qixiao likes. You should learn to love yourself. Your actions so far have been truly disastrous."


    Ji Yu didn’t n to continue debating these points with her.


    "Take some time to think carefully. I don’t even know why you’vee today, but I can’t be bothered dealing with you. Let whoever is backing youe talk to me about this."


    She suspected Shi Chengxin couldn’t be entirely left out of this matter.


    "Ji Yu, you don’t love Xiao at all. The only person you’ve ever truly loved is yourself."


    Ji Yu didn’t dispute that statement.


    Or, perhaps, people tended to care most about things that shouldn’t concern them.


    "Whether I love him or not isn’t for you to judge."


    One after another, people wanted to stand high on their moral ground and pass judgment on her. That was absolutely impossible.


    She was free tock morality.


    "Sister Yu, it seems like this might have been Shi Chengxin’s doing. Should we deal with his side of things first?"


    Ji Yu didn’t see any issue here. "Just because Shi Chengxin causes trouble doesn’t mean he’d use such a foolish method. I’m guessing this was Song Xuan trying to mess with me herself."


    She didn’t think the man was stupid to this extent, and evidently, she was right.


    When Shi Chengxin found out Song Xuan had been caught, his expression was visibly unpleasant.


    "Is she insane?" He’d always felt that this matter wasn’t thatplicated—he simply needed to deal with Ji Yu.
