Chapter 17 : Coming to see you in the middle of the night

"Hello, is Jiang Yuan here?" Qin Xiaohuan asked with a smile.

Mrs. Jiang didn't know Qin Xiaohuan. When she asked about Jiang Yuan, she didn't know how to explain. After being in a daze for a moment, he spoke.

"Jiang Yuan, he's gone." After Mrs. Jiang finished speaking, she took a deep breath, suppressed her uneasy heart, and looked at Qin Xiaohuan , " Are you his friend?"

Qin Xiaohuan said calmly , " My name is Wei Yingying, and I am his girlfriend."

"Nonsense!" Mrs. Jiang was very excited after hearing this , " Jiang Yuan already has a fiancée, don't talk nonsense here and ruin my son's reputation!"

After hearing the noise, Jiang Yuan's younger brother also came over. He looked at Luo Sai and Qin Xiaohuan carefully, and said hesitantly , " You, you are not Wei Yingying. I have seen her, and she is much younger than you."

Luo Sai shouted "Okay" in his heart. This was what he was waiting for.

On the way here, he was thinking about how to get Jiang Yuan's family to tell the truth. Last time Tang Yingfei sent Jiang Yuan home and asked about Wei Yingying, none of the Jiang family members said they knew her. So this time, Luo Sai came up with an idea and asked Qin Xiaohuan to pretend to be Wei Yingying to act in a play to see if he could tell the truth. As expected, the outcome was revealed as soon as the play began.

"So, you know the relationship between Wei Yingying and Jiang Yuan?" Luo Sai stared into the eyes of Jiang Yuan's brother, causing the other party to panic.

"I only met her once, and I bumped into her accidentally. What is their specific relationship, I can't tell."

"Are you unable to speak, or do you dare not speak?" Luo Sai turned his attention to Mrs. Jiang to see how she would react.

At this time, Mrs. Jiang looked confused. Before she could get over a tragedy, she faced a new shock. She turned around and questioned her younger son, asking him to explain clearly who Wei Yingying was and what her relationship was with Jiang Yuan.

The boy stood still aggrievedly, and stammered out a sentence , " Maybe, maybe, it's my brother, let me know what to say." Then he came to his senses, pointed at Qin Xiaohuan and said , " What do you mean? Pretending to be Wei Yingying to come to my brother, what is your purpose?"

Qin Xiaohuan learned the story of Wei Yingying and Jiang Yuan from Yue Xin. As a woman, she deeply felt that the injury suffered by Wei Yingying was hotter than fire and colder than ice. Today she finally found an opportunity to fight for Wei Yingying.

Facing Jiang Yuan's brother's questioning, she stepped forward and said loudly , " You ask me what my purpose is? I have only one purpose, which is to expose the true colors of people who are worse than beasts! Jiang Yuan has a fiancée, and he went to have sex with him. Wei Yingying dated, then fell out and ended up breaking up. There are too many men like this in the world, but I didn’t expect that there is one in your family! If he is no longer alive, otherwise, I really want to ask him face to face. , what does it feel like to play with women!”

After hearing these words, Mrs. Jiang was dumbfounded. In her eyes, the filial and sensible son suddenly became a bad man who was always criticized and abandoned by others. This heavy and bloodless blow left her vulnerable to a blow. If she hadn't been strong-willed, she might have hit her head on the ground and passed out.

She grabbed her youngest son's wrist fiercely and shouted , " Is what they said true? You tell me!"

Jiang Yuan's younger brother had known the inside story for a long time, but he and his elder brother hid it from their family members and did not dare to make it public. Now that the matter has been revealed and his brother has gone, there is no need for him to continue to hide it, so he can only nod obediently and admit it.

What happened to the Jiang family after that was unknown to Luo Sai and Qin Xiaohuan. After they got the answer they wanted, they said goodbye and left. What is left to Mrs. Jiang and the Jiang family will be a sleepless night of confusion and sadness.

Qin Xiaohuan, who was walking on the street, looked up at the bright moon in the sky. The moonlight was cold but soft.

She felt extremely happy that she had spoken out her heartfelt words freely just now. She smiled sweetly and asked Rosé how she was doing.

"Your performance is absolutely perfect."

Rosé pushed the cart behind her, walking on the side of the road. Occasionally, a cart driver would pull his cart past. The shops in front were all closed and the neon lights were turned off. In the silent night, there was only the sound of their footsteps singing together.

"Tell me, how many good men are there in this world?" Qin Xiaohuan suddenly asked.

Luo Sai was stunned at first, then thought about it and said , " Half is good and half is bad, just like the front and back of a leaf. Those with bad luck, like Wei Yingying, will encounter bad ones. Those with good luck, like you, will definitely You’ll find good ones.”

Qin Xiaohuan just asked casually, but he didn't expect Luo Sai to give her such an answer.

"What about you, are you good or bad?" Qin Xiaohuan looked at him and laughed.

“You can’t say for yourself whether it’s good or bad, it’s all by the beholder, what do you think?”

"Actually, after all these years in the club, I know a little about you." Qin Xiaohuan walked slowly and confided her thoughts to Luo Sai.

"What you did has a good side and a bad side. Just like you said, every leaf has two sides. Moreover, the people and things in this world are so complicated that it is really hard to explain. However, in my heart, you are the stars in the sky, bright and shining that I can see in the dark night when I look up."

Luo Sai smiled with his head down, but there was a trace of fear in his heart , " How can I compare with the stars? I am just an insignificant body in the human world."

Qin Xiaohuan frowned, a trace of sadness flashed across his face. Isn't she the same? She was as small as a speck of dust in the vast earth. From the moment she was born to the world, her destiny dominated her life. When he was a child, he was abandoned by his parents and left at the house of his grandparents. Together with his other brothers and sisters, he lived a poor life with little care and had to rely on himself for everything. In order to survive, she went to work at a very young age. She suffered so many injustices that she was left with the right to cry alone. She also fell in love, but it was a wrong love. Her heart was hurt, and she was the only one who endured it. She didn't dare to stop, and there was no time to waste, because she still had to rely on herself to move forward with difficulty.

It is conceivable that when Qin Xiaohuan met Luo Sai, he seemed to see the brightest star in the sky. The happiness and warmth that Rosé's voice and smile brought to her were enough to protect her loneliness and her pain.

"You not only have a body, but also a unique soul!" Qin Xiaohuan raised his face happily and shouted loudly to the night sky.

Roselle was warmed by the cheerful girl in front of her. They laughed together and walked freely in the wind on the starry street corner.

It wasn't until he saw Qin Xiaohuan push the door open and walk into the house that Luo Sai realized that he was not wandering in the galaxy, but still standing on a familiar street. Everything around him reminded him that this was the real place. He couldn't help but feel lonely, so he rode his bicycle and wandered aimlessly around the streets. Unknowingly, he came to Wutong Road.

He stopped in front of the Qi family's old house and looked at the dim old house. He looked toward a third-floor window and imagined his father standing there. He often thought about what his father would have told him when he was young if he knew that he would be leaving on that Mid-Autumn Festival night. In this life, he never had the chance to feel the love and warmth from his father. Even though it had been too long, he still couldn't let it go. Perhaps, throughout his life, this will be a regret deep in his heart that will always follow him.

At this time, Qi Xuan shuddered in his sleep and sat up from the bed. He turned on the wall lamp, got out of bed and poured himself a glass of water.

He touched his body and felt a little cold. After he awakened Xuan Jing, Xuan Jing was no longer silent and often released energy. The dark cold air often caused a thin layer of ice to form on other furnishings in the study. Everyone in the Qi family was worried about this, fearing that the Xuan Mirror would cause harm to the Qi family and others.

The fear of the unknown enveloped this old house.

Qi Xuan was no longer sleepy. He slowly walked to the window, opened the curtains, and looked out. With just one glance, he saw someone standing outside the courtyard gate. So, he opened the window to see clearly who it was, and Roselle, who was standing outside and was immersed in sadness, saw Qi Xuan leaning out half of his body.

Luo Sai smiled and waved at Qi Xuan without thinking. But he soon became troubled. What was he doing at Qi's house in the middle of the night? Just as he was getting anxious, he looked down and saw that he was still wearing Qi Xuan's clothes. He couldn't help but smile. No matter what his excuse was, it was fine as long as it made sense.

After a while, Qi Xuan came out of the room wearing a bathrobe.

"Why are you here so late?" Qi Xuan asked as he opened the door.

Luo Sai took off her coat and put it in Qi Xuan's arms, saying with a smile , " I'll return your clothes to you!"

"It's almost dawn, and you rode your bike here just to return a piece of clothing?"

"It's by the way. I just stopped by and gave you the clothes. I just sent Qin Xiaohuan home."

"Then why didn't you ring the doorbell?" Qi Xuan asked again.

Roselle was smiling on her face, but actually she was crying in her heart. It’s not a good idea to make up some excuse, but you have to say it to return the clothes. How can any normal person go to someone else’s house to return the clothes in the middle of the night? Now that you have said it, you must carry it on.

"I was hesitating here for fear of disturbing your rest. You happened to bump into me. Do you think it was a coincidence?"

After Rossay finished speaking, he felt relieved. He looked at Qi Xuan's emaciated face under the moonlight, and it turned out to be haggard and lonely. This is completely different from the energetic Boss Qi we usually see.

"You go back to sleep, I'm leaving." Rossay said, riding on the car, suddenly remembered, and said , " There is another thing. I went to Jiang Yuan's house to investigate. The dead Jiang Yuan was Wei Yingying’s boyfriend.”

Qi Xuan nodded after hearing this and fell into thought. Now Zhao Yingtong probably didn't have any clues about Wei Yingying. Qi Xuan was wondering whether he should inform Zhao Yingtong of Wei Yingying and Jiang Yuan's situation as soon as possible.

"Now that we know the relationship between Xu Huanyan and Jiang Yuan, she is now a key suspect. Zhao Yingtong should be notified as soon as possible without delay," Qi Xuan said.
