"I am naturally suspicious. When you asked me to sign over my shares, my instincts started to doubt." Going by her arrest charges, her assets were bound to be frozen. If they were not, something was clearly off.
Everything about Xue Mei seemed normal; she didn't raise any suspicions. But, this was a glaring issue.
"So you had doubts because the assets should have been frozen but were not?" Xue Mei was truly clever.
"Yes."
"Then why did you still sign over your shares to me?" Since Bai Xue had doubts, why did she do as Xue Mei pleased?
"As you've said, I am stupid — too trusting of the people I believe." Bai Xue mocked herself habitually.
Even though she had her suspicions, she still chose to trust Xue Mei.
But in the end, Xue Mei disappointed her.
This world has always been unjust. Your wholehearted trust of others can be perceived as stupidity. True dedication does not always guarantee a result.
She felt cold—truly cold at heart.
