San Lang did not understand what was going on. He stared at Purple Fairy for a while and then turned to look at Qiao Lian.
There was confusion in his widened eyes, he had no idea who was the real McCoy.
Qiao Lian continued to stand in her hidden little corner, her lips turned into a mocking smile.
Shen Liangchuan had been spot-on in his assessment of Monochrome.
This man lacked integrity, was uneducated and unskilled.
He had found a fake spokesperson and, on top of that, he was looking for someone to impersonate Zi Chuan!
This was both intolerable and unbearable.
Even though the last eight years of her life had been tough, she had seen much of the world. But a person like Monochrome was really something else.
Qiao Lian continued to observe him and Purple Fairy from her corner, waiting to see what other acts they would come up with.
Once Purple Fairy had greeted the crowd, the captain hurriedly walked up to her and grabbed her wrist, asking, “Xiao Qiao, have you really agreed to help him find someone to impersonate Zi Chuan?”
Purple Fairy lightly swept away the captain’s grip and at these words turned to look at Monochrome with a frown. After a while, she turned back to the captain and said, “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
The captain became anxious and retorted, “Xiao Qiao, although Zi Chuan is gone, how could you treat him like this?”
“That’s right! In the last eight years that Zi Chuan was gone, have you even been to his grave to pay respect?”
“Zi Chuan was so good to you during those years. You were almost an ideal couple in the games. How could you do this?!”
“Xiao Qiao, you have to do Zi Chuan justice! He is dead. We are not asking you mourn his death or live in pain, but you must have a conscience.”
“…”
The people in the crowd gave their comments and rebuked her.
Hearing all these words, Purple Fairy narrowed her eyes and looked up after a moment with an expression of pain and confusion. She protested, “But I really do not know what you’re talking about! Zi Chuan is dead? When did that happen? I was just chatting with him yesterday.”
Upon hearing this, everyone in the room widened their eyes in surprise.
Qiao Lian, on the other hand, narrowed her eyes.
Indeed, the next thing that Purple Fairy said was, “We have been together all these years. How could Zi Chuan be dead? Your Zi Chuan… have you all been conned?”
She sighed and remarked, “The Zi Chuan that you speak about… Is that really Zi Chuan?”
Everyone in the room fell silent at her question.
Because they suddenly realized that Purple Fairy had a point.
Qiao Lian narrowed her eyes, holding her breath, and fully focused on what was going on.
Finally, they were at the point where they might talk about Zi Chuan’s death and its cause.
She stood there, listening as the captain spoke, “Xiao Qiao, have- have you been conned?”
He frowned, pointed at the crowd in the room and continued, “In our very first gathering, we all saw Zi Chuan. How could a dead person fake his own death?!”
Qiao Lian froze upon hearing this information.
The very first gathering.
The very first gathering… that would have been nine years ago.
Nine years ago. Now she recalled it!
Once there was a gathering for their competitive team organized by the captain. He had said that those in Beijing should meet up.
Because Qiao Lian was in Suzhou, she had been unable to make the trip. At that time, she had been sorely disappointed.
Although she was the Qiao family’s pampered little mistress and it wouldn’t have been difficult for her to go on a trip to Beijing…
Back then, she had never thought about making her internet romance with Zi Chuan a reality. After all, they were barely eighteen.
