Chapter 1875: Chapter 1876: How Did You All Come to Suspect Me?
“But…” Jiang Chenyue had a lot she wanted to say to Rong Yan, hesitating as she looked over at her.
Rong Yan caught the look she threw her way. “I’m not very cold, otherwise…”
Chu Aotian looked at her with determined eyes, interrupting her, “It’s windy outside, and you’re only wearing a thin sweater. You’ll catch a cold. Be good, and go inside first. We can arrange to meet when you have time, there’s no rush.”
Although Jiang Chenyue wanted to spend more time with Rong Yan, hearing this, she changed her mind and urged Rong Yan, “Right, right, you go inside first, it’s cold outside. You were just cold, and what if you catch a cold? I can’t take care of you by your side.”
The more she thought about it, the more she worried that Rong Yan would catch a cold, pushing her toward the entrance of the Li Old Mansion, saying, “Hurry inside, drink some warm water to warm your stomach, and then eat something.”
Rong Yan took off the coat draped over her shoulders, “Mrs. Jiang, your coat.”
Jiang Chenyue pressed her hand, refusing to take it back, “I’m not cold, you keep it, return it to me some other day.”
“But…”
The wind blew cool outside, Jiang Chenyue had given her coat away and was only wearing a thin dress, looking cold.
Chu Aotian put his arm over Jiang Chenyue’s shoulder, gave Rong Yan a silent look, then said in a deep voice, “It’s fine, I’m here, you go inside first.”
Since he said that, even though Rong Yan was worried Jiang Chenyue would be cold, she hesitated for a moment but then walked toward Li Shengxiao’s direction.
“Then Mrs. Jiang, Mr. Chu, Boss Qin, see you some other day.”
“Yes, see you some other day.”
The three of them waved at her simultaneously.
Rong Yan withdrew her gaze, took a deep breath, and turned resolutely toward the man waiting for her at the entrance…
…
Li Shengxiao had been waiting for her at the entrance for a while, lazily leaning against the wall with crossed long legs, head lowered, playing with a uniquely shaped lighter in his hand.
Seeing Rong Yan return, he put away the lighter, lifted his gaze, and asked her, “How did it go?”
Rong Yan wrapped in Jiang Chenyue’s coat felt as if it weighed a thousand pounds, and replied weakly, “I didn’t acknowledge it.”
Li Shengxiao raised an eyebrow, not particularly surprised, and placed a hand on her waist as if declaring ownership, “Okay.”
He didn’t ask her, which made Rong Yan feel strange, raising her head, her bright eyes looking at him, she asked back, “Why aren’t you asking why I didn’t acknowledge Mrs. Jiang and them? Did you already know I wouldn’t?”
She paused and asked the most important question, “You already knew my identity, didn’t you? How long have you known? Why didn’t you tell me.”
“I only knew a week earlier than you. A week before, I suspected you were the person the Chu Family was looking for, but there was never any definitive proof. Until Chu Xi had someone kidnap you, and Qin Jun came to tell me that he secretly did a paternity test between you and Jiang Chenyue, then I confirmed your relationship with them.”
Rong Yan was silent for a long time, with a face full of headache, “How could you suspect me? This is ridiculous!”
For twenty years, she always thought she was Rong Yan, the daughter born to Rong Nanfeng and Jiang Meiqi. Later, when Jiang Meiqi personally told her she was just an orphan picked up from the hospital, she then thought her biological parents were just a young couple who hadn’t learned to take responsibility yet, accidentally got pregnant, and after having her, couldn’t afford to raise her and had no choice but to abandon her.
Now, suddenly everyone tells her that she is Chu Xi.
This feels like a rollercoaster, changing too quickly!
