249 Not Alone


    Liu Siyu pouted and wanted to resist, but when she saw Liu Siyan’s irrefutable gaze, she was afraid. “Alright, I’ll continue looking at it after dinner.”


    She pulled Fang Xiaonuan’s hand. “Let’s go. Let’s go eat. My brother cooked.”


    Fang Xiaonuan nced at Liu Siyan, then shifted her gaze to the photo album. She wanted to ask, but she was afraid of rming the Liu family. No matter what, the two of them were good friends, and she could not go too far. Moreover, she still felt very guilty for using her best friend today.


    Fang Xiaonuan said, “Xiaoyu, I won’t be eating here. My husband will being to pick me up soon. I’ll wait by the door. You guys go eat.” With that said, Fang Xiaonuan turned around and was about to leave.


    Liu Siyu and Liu Siyan stood up to send her off.


    After waiting at the entrance for a while, Ji Lingchen’s car arrived.


    He knew what his wife meant to do. She wanted him toe and see Liu Siyu in person so that he could dispel his suspicions about her. He was very grateful for his wife’s kindness and drove over personally.


    “My husband’s here to pick me up. I’m leaving now.”


    Ji Lingchen opened the car door and saw a girl who was about the same height and figure as his wife, as well as Captain Liu, whom he had met a few times.


    He stepped forward and shook hands with Liu Siyan. “Hello, I’m Ji Lingchen. I’m Fang Xiaonuan’s husband.”


    Liu Siyan said, “I’ve heard a lot about you. As a member of this nation, who wouldn’t recognize you, CEO Ji. I’m the police captain, Liu Siyan.”


    Fang Xiaonuan looked at the two of them and felt that the atmosphere was not quite right. She quickly went forward and clutched her husband’s arm to divert his attention and make him look at Liu Siyu. “Hubby, this is my best friend, and Xiaowen’s good friend for many years, Liu Siyu.”


    Ji Lingchen had caught Liu Siyu at Silver Field. She looked at him awkwardly and hid behind her brother in fear.


    Ji Lingchen looked at her but did not say anything.


    “I’m here to pick up Xiaonuan. We’ll get going first. We should meet up again in the future.” Ji Lingchen’s expression was calm, as if this was his first time meeting Liu Siyu.


    Liu Siyu nodded and watched the car leave with her friend. After the car drove away, she frowned as she sensed dangerous energying from her brother.


    “Xiaoyu, follow me into the house.” He turned to his sister.


    “Alright,” Liu Siyu said.


    On the way back to Fang Xiaonuan’s old home, she asked, “Did you find anything?”


    Ji Lingchen did not reveal his true thoughts. Instead, he gave the answer his wife wanted, “No, I didn’t.”


    In the next few days, Fang Xiaonuan worked hard to rid her best friend of his suspicions and to help her husband see what was real. Whenever she was free, she would visit the Liu family.


    Old Master Ji was jealous. “You haven’t even brought me out to eat. You just keep going out with your best friend. What is this?”


    That day, Fang Xiaonuan went to the Liu residence again. Liu Siyan was not at home, so no one disturbed the two of them. They opened the photo album that they had not finished looking at that day.


    Liu Siyu pointed at the photo. “This is a photo of me when I was young.”


    There was a caption on the photo. It said, “Liu Siyu, five years old.”


    In this photo, Liu Siyu had no bangs, but Ji Xiaoyu had neat bangs. The two children did not look simr at all. There was no need to be suspicious of her anymore. Fang Xiaonuan was already certain that Liu Siyu was not her sister-inw. Even if the photos were fake, they could not have produced fake photos for more than a decade, right? Moreover, there were photos of her since she was young.


    Fang Xiaonuan asked, “Are there any photos of when you were six?”


    “Don’t you remember?” Liu Siyu asked. “Didn’t I tell you that I had chickenpox that year? I was covered in it.”


    Fang Xiaonuan had indeed heard Liu Siyu mention that she had not taken any photos that year.


    Chickenpox was an infectious disease, and no one dared to touch her. No one was invited to her house to take photos with her on her birthday.


    She continued to look at the photos taken when Liu Siyu was seven years old.


    “The one with cream all over the face is you?” Fang Xiaonuan asked, pointing at the person in the photo.


    Liu Siyu nodded. “That’s right. It was my brother’s birthday that year. I touched my brother’s face with a piece of cake, and he didn’t hold back either. He pped the entire piece of cake on my face. My parentsughed like crazy and took this picture of me.”


    As she continued to look through them, Liu Siyu’s face gradually grew longer. Then, she saw a photo of her in junior high school. That face matched the face Fang Xiaonuan remembered.


    “Xiaoyu, I’m sorry,” Fang Xiaonuan said.


    Liu Siyu was surprised by the sudden apology. “What’s wrong?”


    Fang Xiaonuan did not exin and went to the bathroom to wash her face. After she came out, she wanted to take a taxi to meet up with her husband.


    At the same time, Ji Lingchen was holding a photo of Liu Siyu taken when she was young. He looked at it without saying a word, and Assistant Liu hesitated about continuing.


    “Continue,” Ji Lingchen said.
