Chapter 1448: Chapter 1448: Passing Away One After Another (2)
Xiao Ji was not expecting Su Hongxing to ask such a question. He paused for a mont and replied coolly, “This matter is not important.”
“If Xiao Ji were in trouble, Xiao’s mother would definitely be very sad, right? I grew up with Xiao Ji, it’s not an exaggeration to call us childhood friends. Xiao Ji was mischievous as a child, but also smart. Xiao’s mother has said more than once that Xiao Ji is her pride. Parents’ hearts are always concerned, who wouldn’t want their child to beco a dragon among n?” Su Hongxing remarked softly.
Especially after Xiao’s father passed away, Xiao’s mother must be even lonelier, right?
“Why are you suddenly telling all this?” Xiao Ji looked at Su Hongxing’s profile, his brows focused.
“Just feeling a bit emotional. Last night, I dread about so past events living in the Xiao Family house.” Su Hongxing smiled wryly, “The older one gets, the more one likes to reminisce about the past, maybe it’s because of age.”
“This ans you’re a nostalgic person, valuing emotions and loyalty.” Xiao Ji gently patted Su Hongxing’s head, “Don’t overthink it. If work isn’t busy, take a chance to nap and rest for a bit. You ntioned you’re getting older, so you should know that good sleep is the best way to maintain your health.”
Su Hongxing chuckled, “Hmm, I’m heading to work now.”
Xiao Ji watched as Su Hongxing drove off into the distance, standing in place for a long, long ti…
**
From this day on, everything seed the sa as before, as if nothing had changed, but perhaps, everything had changed.
The longer ti passed, the deeper Su Hongxing’s doubts grew. She had never doubted Xiao Ji before; later, due to suspicions, she would secretly observe Xiao Ji’s every move.
The saying goes, “Ti reveals a person’s heart; details reveal the true nature,” and that was largely true.
Xiao Ji’s every move, every word, and every action seed sowhat rigid. Although she couldn’t find a fault, it always made her feel as though he was hiding sothing. Crucially, she couldn’t find any trace of Ye Qilan in Xiao Ji. If initially, it was just suspicion, over ti, it felt as though she could be certain of one thing: Xiao Ji was not Ye Qilan.
If Xiao Ji wasn’t Ye Qilan, yet he lived in Qingmu Garden under Ye Qilan’s identity, this matter deserved serious thought.
The source of doubt was when Xiao Ji was severely injured while saving Jiang Su. According to the attending doctor, during the ergency process of saving Xiao Ji, he once lost his breath.
It was precisely because of this that when Xiao Ji claid he was Ye Qilan, with Ye Qilan’s precedent of returning from the dead, she believed Xiao Ji’s words without hesitation.
If Xiao Ji’s serious injury was rely a play orchestrated by himself, intending to approach her with this thod purposefully, then Xiao Ji’s scheming was deeper than she had imagined.
She didn’t expose Xiao Ji and confront him directly because she wanted to know what ga he was playing.
That day, Su Hongxing received a call from Lin Zhi early in the morning, saying she wanted to et her.
Su Hongxing didn’t agree. No matter what, Ye Qilan was hard by Lin Zhi. She could never co to terms with this. To her, Lin Zhi, the murderer, she couldn’t let go of the past grievances, even if Lin Zhi felt remorse or was on the brink of death.
Shortly after she hung up, Lin Zhi called again, her weak voice coming through, “Su girl, I have sothing very important to tell you, can you co to see just one last ti? I… I beg you…”
“I don’t want to see you. I already said everything I wanted to say last ti, that’s it.” Su Hongxing cut off the call once more.
