Seeing his own sister looking disturbed, Fan Xinglan couldn’t help but frown.
What on earth is happening with his sister?
Ever since returning from the Yan Family...
She’s been acting very strangely. Could something major have happened that he doesn’t know about? Newest update provided by novel~fire~net
No, he suddenly remembered, when he was at the Yan Family, he had just come out of the dressing room and asked her what had happened to Little Sister-in-law.
It seemed like at that time, his sister’s expression was already very strange.
And she muttered some vague words, broken and intermittent...
Fan Xinglan couldn’t recall exactly what she had said at that moment.
He pondered for a long time after returning to his room. It wasn’t until bedtime that he suddenly thought of something, and immediately, his face changed completely.
Combining the fact that Little Sister-in-law was almost eaten by a tiger, his sister’s hesitant words, and all the strange behaviors that afternoon.
The more he thought about it, the more terrifying it seemed.
But Fan Xinglan couldn’t believe, nor did he want to believe, that this could be connected to his sister, who had been rational, intelligent, and principled since childhood!
Moreover, she and Little Sister-in-law had only met twice, hadn’t they? They had no enmity and seemed to be getting along well; how could it be possible...
But thinking back carefully... his sister indeed didn’t seem to like Little Sister-in-law that much.
Fan Xinglan broke out in a cold sweat while thinking alone in bed, eventually deciding he couldn’t go on with such absurd speculations.
He immediately put on a coat and went out to find Fan Yubing.
When the door opened, Fan Yubing stood by the door, her face still pale, but her emotions were clearly much more stable than during the day.
Seeing it was Fan Xinglan, she asked, "Is something wrong?"
"It’s nothing, nothing..."
Upon seeing her, Fan Xinglan thought about how close she had been to him since they were young, completely unlike such a person.
He instantly felt that his guesses in the room earlier were utterly absurd.
But he still felt that she seemed to really know something about this matter.
After much hesitation, he finally summoned the courage to speak: "Sister, there are some things I’d like to ask you..."
Fan Yubing practically knew what he wanted to ask just by looking at his expression.
She lowered her eyes, "Come into the room and talk."
Inside the room, she poured Fan Xinglan a glass of water.
Taking the glass, Fan Xinglan hesitated for quite a while before speaking:
"Sister, what on earth happened with Little Sister-in-law today..."
Fan Yubing sat on the edge of the bed, silent for a while.
"I know what you want to ask," she spoke softly, her voice still trembling a bit, "This matter... is indeed related to me."
Fan Xinglan’s pupils contracted, and he nearly crushed the glass in his hand.
His eyes reddened, incredulous: "Sister, you must be joking, how could this be possible..."
"You and Little Sister-in-law have no grudges..."
Fan Yubing lowered her head, her hands gently clenched by her side: "I didn’t intend to harm her at the start, Xinglan, whether you believe it or not, I really never thought about it..."
She then recounted to Fan Xinglan the morning conversation she had with Yun Qiluo in the garden.
Fan Xinglan wasn’t inexperienced like Yun Qiluo; he came from a wealthy family and had seen all sorts of complicated things.
Just hearing this conversation felt off to him.
He was extremely incredulous: "Sister, why did you suddenly say such things to Little Sister-in-law..."
"Brother Yan never told Little Sister-in-law about raising a tiger, he must have his own reasons! How could you go and tell Little Sister-in-law..."
Moreover, she didn’t even directly tell Little Sister-in-law it was a tiger, just saying it was a pet.
