1590 Strangeness
Chi Shuyan kindly sent them off, but unfortunately, the others looked at her warily, especially the woman called Chai Qing. Chai Qing was even more certain that the woman in front of her must have taken a fancy to their Brother Xia. Otherwise, how could she be so attentive for no reason?
She suddenly whispered something in Yuan Yuan’s ear. Sure enough!
Yuan Yuan, who was originally smiling politely, paused. She narrowed her eyes and immediately examined Chi Shuyan.
As Chi Shuyan saw them off, most of her attention was on this woman called Sister Yuan who could foresee things. Seeing her unfriendly gaze, Chi Shuyan curled her lip.
Chi Shuyan also realized that when the man whom Chai Qing had called “Brother Xia” last time took the initiative to talk to her, their gazes became more and more unfriendly, especially that of Yuan Yuan. The way she looked at Chi Shuyan was unfriendly, cold and possessive, as if Chi Shuyan was eyeing her property.
Interesting!
Chi Shuyan stopped at the door and didn’t deliberately get close to Xia Mingcheng and say anything else. Instead, she took out a few business cards and gave each of them one. She said politely, “Contact me if you need anything. If fate permits it, we’ll talk next time!”
After that, she watched them walk away.
Under the sunlight, Chi Shuyan realized that apart from Yuan Yuan and Xia Mingcheng, no one else had shadows; only after walking for a while did their shadows appear on the ground.
Chi Shuyan curled her lip thoughtfully.
On the other side, Chai Qing, who had the most objections about Chi Shuyan, didn’t care if she was still standing behind her. She casually threw the business card into a trash can.
After throwing it away, she advised the others, “That woman must be a swindler. Even if she isn’t, she can’t compare with Sister Yuan. By the way, I saw that woman staring infatuatedly at Brother Xia just now. She must have taken a fancy to our Brother Xia!” Without waiting for the others to speak, Chai Qing continued coldly, “The first time that woman saw Brother Xia, her eyes were glued to him.”
Hearing Chai Qing’s words, Xia Mingcheng frowned in disapproval. He didn’t think that was the case at all. Conversely, Chai Qing was making a mountain out of a molehill and badmouthing people behind their backs, which made him very unhappy and disapproving.
At that moment, someone echoed Chai Qing perfunctorily, while even more people praised Xia Mingcheng for being handsome and said that Chai Qing was making a fuss over nothing. “We all know that Brother Xia is handsome, and he has a good family background. It’s very normal for women to look at him; it’s not like he’ll lose any flesh for it!”
“By the way, that girl just now was indeed especially beautiful and stunning! She probably has a lot of men pursuing her. She has the capital!”
Seeing Chai Qing’s face turn uglier and uglier, most of them tacitly knew that she was making a mountain out of a molehill because she was interested in Brother Xia. Moreover, that girl was prettier than her, so she was jealous.
While everyone was looking at Chai Qing’s unsightly face, they missed Yuan Yuan’s stiff and unsightly expression.
In the end, it was only when Chai Qing spat out Yan Liling’s name that the topic finally ended.
Sure enough, Xia Mingcheng’s face also changed drastically and was very livid and unsightly at the mention of his ex-girlfriend. Without waiting for the others to speak again, he found an excuse to leave.
Seeing Xia Mingcheng leave first, Yuan Yuan panicked, but she calmly found another excuse to comfort everyone. “I’ll go take a look at Mingcheng. By the way, don’t mention Liling’s tragic death in front of Mingcheng anymore.”
With that, Yuan Yuan chased after him.
Chai Qing finally shut up, and so did the others; they didn’t dare offend Yuan Yuan, who could save them.
“Wait, didn’t Sister Yuan say she had something important to tell us? What are we going to do now? I don’t want to go home!” everyone said in horror.
“Me too! Me too!”
On the other side, Wang Jinyang, who had been pulled back by Yang Ji, could only stay obediently in the interrogation room in the police station. Yang Ji’s expression was deathly pale and nervous. Wang Jinyang’s face didn’t look good either, and he was tense as he sat down.
Seeing that the two were willing to stay and tell the truth, Feng Yuanlin heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed that there were still smart people. Feng Yuanlin waited for Shuyan, but she didn’t come back. He was a bit puzzled and was about to get up to take a look, when Shuyan came in and sat next to him.
Feng Yuanlin nudged Shuyan gently with his elbow. “You’re finally back?” Did she see anything?
Feng Yuanlin still wanted to ask Shuyan about Sister Yuan, but there were outsiders here, so he could only keep mum and have someone close the door. Then, he turned to Yang Ji and Wang Jinyang so that they could start telling the truth.
Chi Shuyan first asked Yang Ji, “What’s your relationship with the deceased from the hotel?”
When Yang Ji heard the words “deceased from the hotel,” his face changed drastically and there was pain in his eyes. He immediately said hoarsely, “She was my younger sister!” After a pause, he calmed down and explained in detail, “Actually, we’re not biological siblings. She was my godsister. We knew each other since we were young. Liling’s parents treat me like their own son.”
Chi Shuyan nodded and continued to ask, “Then, who was her boyfriend?”
“You saw him just now. It was Brother Xia!” Yang Ji said.
“What was her relationship with all of you like?”
“Liling had a good personality and everyone liked her. There was no one who didn’t like her; even Chai Qing and Yuan Yuan, who have slightly more difficult personalities, also liked her very much. Before the accident, Yuan Yuan was Liling’s best friend, and they got along well!”
“Okay, can you tell me how you provoked that thing?”
