Chapter 237: CEO Ji Wants to Investigate the Liu Family


    Fang Xiaonuan also felt that she had let her husband down. Every time it was a critical moment, either someone would disturb her, or she just could not go through with it. This time, she had already taken off her clothes and was about to do it, but she thought of Xiaoyu.


    “Hubby, you know, I-I’ll go and help you,” Fang Xiaonuan stammered, not wanting to bring up Silver Field.


    “Silver Field. Then?” Ji Lingchen said.


    Fang Xiaonuan bit her lip. She knew that she could not hide this from him. “Ji Wen, Siyu, and I went there together.”


    Ji Lingchen was a little surprised. At first, he only found out Ji Wen’s code name. Then, he learned that his wife was a contestant in the advanced field. Although it took some effort, he still found out. As for that Liu Siyu, he still could not find her.


    “Oh, right. Tell me this first. How old would Xiaoyu be this year?”


    “The same age as you,” Ji Lingchen replied.


    Fang Xiaonuan thought, ‘Goodness, isn’t this too much of a coincidence?’


    “That day, did you grab someone and call them ‘Xiaoyu’?”


    Ji Lingchen squinted, aware that his wife was trying to get information out of him. He suddenly felt his blood boil.


    “Xiaonuan, exin clearly.” Ji Lingchen suppressed his excitement and tried not to scare his little wife.


    Since things had alreadye to this, Fang Xiaonuan could only exin everything.


    Fang Xiaonuan said, “Actually, the three of us went to Silver Field together. That day, I still had a hickey on my neck. I wanted to participate in thepetition, but I was a little shy, so I put on a turtleneck sweater. Later, I realized that the clothes were not suitable for the fight, and I switched clothes with Siyu.


    “She was the first to see you and she recognized you, but you didn’t know who she was. She was so scared that she ran away, and so did I. Siyu said that you called her ‘Xiaoyu’, which scared her. I didn’t think too much about it. I just thought you were calling her by her nickname.


    “After I came back, I was in a bad mood after being yelled at by you, so I didn’t notice this strange detail. When I heard the name ‘Xiaoyu’ just now, I felt that it was very familiar, and then I remembered that you caught my friend and that you might have thought she was your sister.”


    Fang Xiaonuan had honestly exined everything, but she still firmly believed that her husband must have been mistaken. Liu Siyu had a biological brother, so how could she be her husband’s sister? That would be too melodramatic! It was impossible!


    Ji Lingchen’s breathing was heavy, and his blood was surging in his veins.


    On that day, he had seen that the girl was wearing clothes that looked like his wife’s clothes. At that time, he did not know that his wife was a contestant in the advancedpetition. He only thought that they were dressed the same. Moreover, the girl’s height was very simr to his wife’s, so he took a few more nces.


    Fang Xiaonuan continued, ” Hubby, don’t get too worked up. I think you might have gotten the wrong person. Putting everything else aside, Xiaoyu’s ancestral home is in another province, and she has a biological brother. She only came to Jing City after her father was promoted, and she has never gotten lost, so it shouldn’t be her.”


    Ji Lingchen would rather be disappointed than let go of any hope. He ced his hands on his wife’s shoulders and questioned her with a serious expression. “Xiaonuan, don’t lie to me.”


    Fang Xiaonuan said, ” Hubby, we’re husband and wife. Lying to you about trivial matters might be fine, but your sister is a big deal. Do you think I would dare to lie?”


    She, Liu Siyu, and Ji Wen had been friends for many years and knew each other’s family backgrounds.


    Liu Siyu’s mother almost died when she gave birth to her. Liu Siyu often talked about this, and Ji Wen also knew about it.


    It was because of this that the Liu couple doted on their daughter very much.


    Mrs. Liu had told Fang Xiaonuan many things about Liu Siyu’s childhood, and she felt that her husband was mistaken.


    Fang Xiaonuan got off the bed and picked up her phone. She found a photo of Liu Siyu and her. Then, she showed it to her husband.


    “Look, this is Liu Siyu, not Xiaoyu, right?”


    Ji Lingchen looked at the girl who was happily eating ice cream in the photo. She was aplete stranger to him.


    However, it had been so many years, and Xiaoyu should be twenty years old now. She must have changed a lot, so maybe that was why he could not recognize her.


    Fang Xiaonuan saw theck of recognition in her husband’s eyes and put down her phone. She felt a little guilty. She should not have given her husband hope and then personally destroyed it.


    “Hubby, are you very disappointed?”


    “What’s her father’s name?” Ji Lingchen asked with a frown.


    When Fang Xiaonuan heard her husband’s question, she knew that she was done for. Her husband was going to investigate all eighteen generations of the Liu family’s ancestors.


    If it was adopted, there would definitely be records of that. If it had not been an adoption, and the Liu family suddenly had a child, her father’s file would have a record of that too.
