"..." Xu Qingyang looked at Ji Yunhuan, not expecting her to know everything, and found himself at a loss for words. But he knew that if he admitted anything here, his identity would be exposed. As Xu Qingyang, he had nothing. But as Su Molang, he had a lot to lose.
He glanced at Ji Yunhuan, his eyes showing a warm smile. "Your story is well-crafted, but unfortunately, I don’t understand a word of it."
"Xu Qingyang!" Ji Yunhuan glared at him. She tried to give him face, yet he continued to play dumb?
Su Molang calmly looked at Ji Yunhuan.
Seeing that he would not admit anything, Ji Yunhuan gave up.
After all, without evidence, she couldn’t prove anything, though Xu Qingyang was clearly shaken by her words.
She said to Xu Qingyang, "No matter what your purpose for staying in the Su Family is, I’ll tell you this: don’t appear in front of Qi Cheng and again, and don’t do anything bad for Zhou Yixiu. If you dare to betray him, I will definitely expose your identity."
Xu Qingyang, feeling helpless in being treated as a fake, looked at Ji Yunhuan. "I rarely co to see you, and each ti it ends in disappointnt."
"That’s because you’re not sincere. If you dared to admit your identity, maybe I wouldn’t dwell on this."
"..." Xu Qingyang knew that was impossible and naturally wouldn’t fall into her trap. He said regretfully, "I have sothing to do, so I’ll leave first."
Xu Qingyang didn’t particularly want to see Ji Yunhuan because he didn’t like her. However, as soone who had once died because of her, he feared his coldness might arouse suspicion.
So, he was indeed troubled!
Xu Qingyang had only taken two steps when he heard Ji Yunhuan call out, "Wait."
He turned around to find Ji Yunhuan looking at her phone. She seed more worried than before. She approached Xu Qingyang with her phone and asked, "Is this person your brother?"
Xu Qingyang glanced at Ji Yunhuan’s phone and his pupils instantly dilated. "Where is this?"
The photo had just been sent by Wenwen. Ji Yunhuan took one look and recognized the waiter, Xu Qing, from Wenwen’s restaurant. She had always thought Xu Qingyang’s brother looked familiar because of a photo she had seen earlier but couldn’t quite place him.
Now she realized the waiter was the reason.
After all, with more than twenty years’ difference, their features had so distinctions. That’s why Ji Yunhuan hadn’t realized it earlier.
Ji Yunhuan’s heart pounded violently as she stared at Xu Qingyang. "Is he Brother Long?"
If he was Xu Qingyang’s brother, then he must be Brother Long.
Even though Xu Qingyang didn’t want to admit it, he nodded. "Yes, he is."
Apart from him and Brother Long’s close confidants, few people knew what Brother Long looked like. No one had expected that his appearance was that of a harmless, handso man.
Ji Yunhuan didn’t have ti to be surprised that Xu Qingyang had admitted his own identity. Her imdiate concern was that Brother Long was at Wenwen’s place!
Uneasily, she looked at Xu Qingyang. "That’s my friend’s restaurant. What’s he doing there?"
"I can never understand his actions. Maybe, because I am here, he wanted to find a place to stay." Xu Qingyang frowned, stared at the photo, lost in thought, then asked Ji Yunhuan, "Can you take to your friend’s restaurant?"
Although these years seed like he was constantly running while Xu Longyan chased him, he still wanted to see his brother.
Before their mother died, Xu Qingyang had been very fond of his brother. Even though their mother always bullied him, Xu Qingyang had always taken care of him and secretly brought him food whenever their mother refused.
He never understood why their mother was so biased but had never once disliked his brother.
Until his brother caused their mother’s death...
Because Ji Yunhuan was also worried about Wenwen, she accompanied Xu Qingyang there.
Wenwen happened to be in the restaurant that day. She was surprised to see Ji Yunhuan and Su Molang enter together. "You said you were busy these days, why did you co over?"
"Where’s Xu Qing?" Ji Yunhuan asked bluntly.
The thought of such a dangerous person being so close without their knowledge made her break out in a cold sweat.
"What do you want with him?" Wenwen asked, puzzled.
Ji Yunhuan glanced at the anxiously waiting Xu Qingyang. She had sensed his unease the entire way. He was neither willing to let Xu Longyan die nor wanted him to hurt innocent people.
"Where is he?" Xu Qingyang asked.
Ji Yunhuan introduced Xu Qingyang. "This is his brother."
"Oh, he took leave a few days ago, saying he was going back to his hotown and hasn’t returned since," Wenwen said, surprised at the resemblance. The brothers were both strikingly handso. They had really good genes.
However, Xu Qingyang, posing as Su Molang, exuded an air of nobility unlike "Xu Qing," who looked like an innocent young man.
Ji Yunhuan asked, "How long ago was this?"
"About a month ago."
Ji Yunhuan frowned. That was around the ti she visited Xu Qingyang’s hotown.
So, Brother Long really had followed her there as Zhou Yixiu had said? He had been trailing her all along?
He probably didn’t return for fear of being recognized due to her having seen his childhood photo.
Yet Ji Yunhuan still broke into a cold sweat. She told Wenwen, "If he cos back, don’t alert him, and make sure to inform discreetly."
Such a person was absolutely not soone Wenwen could provoke.
Just thinking about how a man who almost sent her to et death had later served her coffee made Ji Yunhuan shudder.
Wenwen asked, "What’s going on?"
"He’s a very dangerous man," Ji Yunhuan replied, worried. "It’s a good thing you’re okay. Otherwise, I’d be riddled with guilt."
"Xiao Xu was quite nice."
"Nice?" Ji Yunhuan thought about all Brother Long had done, feeling chills down her spine. Who would guess that soone with such a beautiful exterior could be an utterly irredeemable villain?
After leaving the restaurant, Ji Yunhuan found Xu Qingyang still standing at the door, looking lost. At this point, he didn’t continue his pretense before her.
Ji Yunhuan stopped beside him. "What’s wrong?"
He had previously refused to admit his identity before her, but now he didn’t want to explain anything.
Xu Qingyang gazed into the distance. "The Su Residence is very close to here."
"..." Ji Yunhuan glanced around and realized Wenwen’s restaurant was indeed not far from the new Su Residence.
Xu Qingyang smiled. "I thought he had fled elsewhere, but it turns out he was always nearby, watching over ."
