Since being forcefully brought to Jin City by Li Zishen, Tang Xiaowan had been wholeheartedly searching for the truth.
Dating a handsome guy, how could that be possible?
She always felt that there was a connection between her grandmother’s death, her own memory loss, and the night attack at Mei Garden, leaving no room in her mind for romantic entanglements.
Although Tang Xiaowan seemed carefree on the surface, only she knew how sad and helpless she felt when she looked at the stranger in the mirror during the quiet of the night.
Last weekend, she returned to Qingcheng, met the old acquaintances of Mei Garden, and that strange Mr. Leng, which only intensified her desire to seek the truth.
She wasn’t foolish, she had a clear mind and firmly believed there was a secret hidden in Mei Garden, otherwise, why would everyone act so evasively whenever the past was mentioned, as if they feared she would discover something.
"Miss, I wasn’t there when the incident happened; I had gone down the hill to buy pig’s trotters. You insisted they had to be from the store at the east gate of Qingcheng University, otherwise you would go on a hunger strike."
"Miss, I was dismissed by the old lady at the beginning of July, I heard about the night attack from Granny Yu, who heard it from the steward, who heard it from Cheng Shi."
"I hope everyone can return to Mei Garden immediately to help the miss uncover the truth."
Despite trying hard and soft approaches, Tang Xiaowan found that Cheng Shi and Wang Meijuan were very tight-lipped, always giving roundabout answers.
It’s as if they were completely unaware of the night attack.
But how could it be such a coincidence that there was no one around her when the incident occurred?
And then there was Lin Xiaoxiao, who had been missing for nearly a month. As her personal bodyguard, she should have been even closer to her than Cheng Shi, but she also happened to be absent that day.
It was too strange, too abnormal!
"Xiaowan, I’m telling the truth, my brother will definitely..."
"Thank you, let’s eat."
"Actually, I had heard about you before you came here; I just didn’t know your full name. You know, my brother is very stubborn, so if he doesn’t want to talk about something, others are afraid to ask too much, but I can assure you one thing, he is definitely sincere about you."
"Come on, let’s eat, the food is getting cold."
"By the way, did you know my brother is a martial arts expert?" Google seaʀᴄh N0veI.Fiɾe.net
Is this a joke, martial arts!
No wonder last month when he took my first kiss, I tried hard to resist, but I couldn’t.
Then the guy tricked me, saying that because I had him in my heart, my body might retain some memories, and that’s why I didn’t resist fully.
I was nearly fooled; he really is a cunning old fox, up to no good!
"I have Cheng Shi, I’m not afraid!"
"Hey, can you stop mentioning Cheng Shi all the time? Especially in front of my brother, remember not to praise other men, it’s a big taboo in a relationship."
Li Zihan’s voice was very low, probably for fear of Cheng Shi in the courtyard overhearing.
His expression was also particularly gossipy.
Tang Xiaowan chuckled, "How childish!"
"Childish? You girls are the childish ones. Don’t think just because my brother likes you that you can do whatever you want. Let me tell you, my brother is not a vegetarian; his defense skills are super strong."
"Then why don’t you take him as your master instead of always hanging around me and Cheng Shi?"
"Well, actually it’s... eat."
Li Zihan suddenly stopped speaking in the middle of his sentence, picked up his bowl of rice, and started shoveling it into his mouth at a speed as if someone was going to snatch it from him.
Tang Xiaowan raised an eyebrow and asked with a half-smile, "You’re not an undercover agent, are you?"
Hearing this, Li Zihan quickly put down his bowl and stared at Tang Xiaowan, but when their eyes met, he chose to dodge hastily.
"Kidding, how could that be possible!"
