Chapter 285: Confessing Everything
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
i Shu and i Jing waited in the restaurant near the school for a long ti. i Feng didn’t arrive until all the dishes were served.
As he sat down, a troubled expression involuntarily appeared on his face. “I’m sorry, Xiao He didn’t want to leave just now, so it delayed for a while.”
“Brother, you don’t need to be so polite when talking to us,” i Jing said, glancing at i Shu’s expression before continuing, “Brother, take a look at these dishes and see if you like them. If you want anything else, feel free to order. Sister said she’s treating us!”
“No need, this is enough.” i Feng signaled for a waiter to bring a glass of iced water, then said with a slightly teasing tone, “Didn’t you just say we shouldn’t be polite? Why do 1 feel like you’re being more polite than I am?”
i Jing, feeling exposed, scratched his head in annoyance and said, “Brother, isn’t it because it’s been a while since 1 last saw you, and I’m a bit nervous?” “Nervous?” i Feng took a sip of the iced water, suppressing his inner frustration, and gave a aningful smile. “1 don’t think it’s nervousness, maybe it’s guilt? Have you caused any trouble at school during this ti?”
“I haven’t! Seriously, I haven’t! Brother, why don’t you believe ?” i Jing complained, visibly displeased. “If I’d really gotten into trouble, wouldn’t the teachers have contacted you?”
In recent years, with i Shu absent, it was i Feng alone who had taken care of his younger brothers.
However, due to his own busy academic life, he couldn’t always be there for them.
His only requirent for his younger brothers was not to stir up trouble, and he overlooked everything else.
He, too, was still an immature child, without the energy to take care of so many people simultaneously.
The two brothers bantered back and forth, and soon, they grew comfortable with each other’s company.
i Feng then turned his gaze to i Shu, looked down sowhat awkwardly, and called her “sister.”
Even i Jing, who was usually quite talkative, suddenly turned into a mute.
i Shu, unfazed, comnted, “1 thought you were planning never to speak to .”
i Feng self-deprecatingly smiled, “I thought you didn’t want as your brother anymore.”
Back when their mother had the accident, he had yelled at i Shu with all the spiteful words he could imagine.
Looking back, he knew he had acted recklessly.
But spoken words were like water thrown out; once said, they couldn’t be taken back.
Even if he regretted it, he couldn’t pretend nothing had happened in front of i Shu. That was why, since i Shu’s return, he had never visited the is’ ho again. He had almost entirely cut ties with his family.
He was afraid that i Shu would harbor lasting resentnt towards him for what he had done back then.
But what he didn’t know was how guilty i Shu felt inside.
Thinking that i Feng would co to save her even though he had lost his leg, her eyes welled up with tears. “Xiao Feng, don’t say that. What happened back then wasn’t your fault. If we want to bla soone, it’s that ruthless woman, Wang Yue. She’s the one who caused our mother’s death.”
“What did you say?” i Feng stared unbelievably at his sister with red eyes. “Sister, did you just say soone killed our mother?”
As soon as Wang Yue, that woman, was ntioned, i Jing indignantly exclaid, “Brother, we’ve pretty much finished investigating the matter. Our mother’s car accident back then wasn’t an accident at all. She was killed, and the person who was most likely and most eager for her to die was none other than that woman, Wang Yue!”
This ti, i Shu didn’t wait to speak; i Jing was the first to tell i Feng everything they had done in detail during this period.
He had only now learned that so much had happened at the i family during the ti he was away!
Besides caring about the true cause of their mother’s death, he was also concerned about sothing else.
“Sister, are you okay with the video incident?” i Feng deeply regretted not supporting i Shu at the i family at that ti.
Even though she was older than him, she was ultimately still an underage girl. Confronted with such a significant event, she might have been extrely frightened and anxious.
He had always considered himself the one who stood tall and strong in the is’ ho, but when the crucial mont arrived, he realized he knew nothing at all!
He truly was the most useless brother in the world!
“Xiao Feng, that matter is in the past now. It’s aningless to dwell on it. We should look ahead. I’ve already formulated a plan.”
i Shu wanted to tell i Feng everything so that he wouldn’t be manipulated by Wang Yue and her daughter, causing him to lose everything.
i Jing was also listening attentively beside them.
Even though they had so leads now, they still lacked crucial evidence.
The next step was going to be a tough battle.
Originally, i Jing thought it might not be a good idea to continue investigating this matter. However, after hearing i Shu’s plan, he saw a glimr of hope and was filled with anticipation for the truth to finally co to light.
“Sister, 1 think this plan is feasible! When should we start implenting it?”
“Not so fast. The day after tomorrow in the afternoon, Lin He and Zhou Nan will bring Old Wang to the city and seek refuge with Lin Wei. Once they have settled completely, we’ll make our move to avoid alerting Old Wang..”
