Chapter 73 The Sister in the True and False Jin Wen (4)
Chapter 73 The Sister in the True and False Jin Wen (4)
Standing quietly on the stairs, Le Yan looked dejected, but that didn't stop her from giving the people below a complicated look.
A pair of brothers, one real and one fake, a father who has always doted on him, and a gentle and loving mother.
If the events in the book are true, then this seemingly happy family is already riddled with cracks.
"Sweetie, why aren't you coming down?"
While looking at the newspaper, Zhao Cheng glanced up and saw Le Yan standing at the bottom of the stairs like a lost soul. He immediately called out to her.
The undisguised tenderness in her eyes made Le Yan's gaze flicker slightly.
"I'll come down now."
As she answered, Leyan walked downstairs.
"Sister, come quick, I've warmed up some milk for you." Zhao Weizhou gestured to Le Yan with the milk, and also brought her breakfast to her seat.
Zhao Mufeng, who was a step behind, gave him a cold look before smiling and greeting Le Yan: "Good morning, sister."
It was with that glance that he keenly noticed something was wrong, and his brows furrowed instantly. "Why are your eyes so red, sister? Did you not sleep well last night?"
Le Yan didn't know how to deal with him for the time being, so she could only look away and nod perfunctorily, "Yeah, I had a dream and didn't sleep well."
She didn't take the milk from Zhao Weizhou, but instead took the schoolbag handed to her by the housekeeper, smiled at Tong Yu, and said, "Mom, I'm not eating breakfast today, I'm going straight to school."
"Huh?" Tong Yu looked up in confusion, about to speak, but saw that she had already quickly left the room.
Closely following behind were Zhao Weizhou and Zhao Mufeng, who quickly caught up, shouting, "Sister, wait for me!"
Hearing the sounds behind her, Le Yan walked even faster, but those two were taking two steps for every one of hers, and they quickly caught up with her.
Holding onto Le Yan's schoolbags from both sides, Zhao Weizhou asked, puzzled, "Why didn't you wait for me, sister?"
"... ... You guys still need to have breakfast, so I thought I'd go first."
After a moment of silence, Le Yan pretended nothing was wrong and explained.
Zhao Weizhou was skeptical, feeling that she must be hiding something from him. He wanted to ask her, but dared not. He could only secretly resolve to investigate thoroughly.
Zhao Mufeng thought the same thing. He was more perceptive and keenly noticed that his sister's attitude towards him was a bit strange today, so he consciously shut his mouth and, apart from sticking close to her, did not actively make a sound to attract her attention.
He could only think and guess what could have caused his sister's attitude towards him to change.
Could it be that his sister discovered he was faking illness the other day?
Zhao Mufeng glanced suspiciously at Zhao Weizhou, who was standing to the side, and seriously suspected that it was Zhao Weizhou who had reported him.
Unable to shake off her two younger brothers, Leyan let them follow her.
After getting into the car, she turned her body slightly to make sure the two people couldn't see her phone screen, and then sent a message to her personal butler.
[Zhao Qingruo] [Chen Xi]
She wants to investigate these two people to see if they actually exist.
After compiling the information extracted from the book, Leyan sent it all to her personal butler.
There was also the incident of the babies being switched at birth seventeen years ago, and the woman her father was keeping on the side—she wanted to find out the truth about all of these things.
To Le Yan's shock, just as she had arranged for someone to investigate the truth, her two younger sisters appeared before her.
In Class 1 of Senior Three, the homeroom teacher led two girls through the door, instantly attracting everyone's attention.
"Who's this? A transfer student?"
Some people discussed privately: "Seriously? They're already in their final year of high school and they're transferring schools?"
"I don't know, it's none of our business anyway. But these two transfer students are really pretty. I just feel like the one on the left looks a bit familiar, but I don't know why."
“ ...... ”
Many students discussed it privately, and even Meng Cili and his friends all looked at the two transfer students on the podium.
However, their expressions were somewhat different.
Meng Cili frowned, his eyes filled with seriousness. He exchanged a glance with Ning Zhiyu in front of him, and their hearts sank.
"What's going on? Why is there someone who looks so much like Aunt Tong?"
On his phone, Meng Cili questioned Zhao Weizhou.
But Zhao Weizhou himself was also at a loss.
One of the girls was someone they had arranged, but the other...
"I have no idea!"
Zhao Weizhou gritted his teeth and replied to Meng Cili, a variety of guesses popping into his mind.
He couldn't help but glance at Le Yan, who was staring blankly out the window in the front seat, and felt a surge of panic in his heart.
As they exchanged glances, the homeroom teacher spoke up, "Everyone, this is our new transfer student. Please introduce yourselves."
"Hello everyone, my name is Chen Xi. Chen is the Chen of 'ear east,' and Xi is the Xi of 'dawn.' Please take care of me from now on." The sweet, girlish voice rang out, instantly attracting everyone's attention.
Le Yan turned around abruptly. She had just been muttering those two names in her mind, and now she heard one of them. If she weren't sure she wasn't dreaming, she would have thought she was hallucinating.
The sunny, cheerful, and optimistic Chen Xi, and the one next to her with her head slightly bowed and a somewhat aloof demeanor—that is—
"Zhao Qingruo".
The indifferent voice and brief introduction stood in stark contrast to Chen Xi.
Le Yan clenched her fists instantly.
The events depicted in the book are true.
Le Yan blinked as her gaze fell on Chen Xi, who looked remarkably like her mother, Tong Yu. They met each other's eyes.
Their eyes met, and they were both taken aback for a moment. Then Chen Xi gave a sweet smile and waved slightly to greet Le Yan.
Le Yan paused, smiled back at her with pursed lips, and then looked away.
She was in a state of confusion and didn't know how to deal with her two pitiful younger sisters in the book, who were probably not doing well in real life either.
After gently poking her palm with her finger and feeling a slight pain, Le Yan finally calmed down her chaotic emotions.
She wasn't a simple seventeen-year-old girl after all. Her mind was in turmoil, but this was a matter that she had to handle.
Le Yan closed her eyes briefly, then opened them again, having already made up her mind.
Chen Xi, sitting at the head of the table, was slightly troubled. As she watched the classmate she felt close to and liked at first sight avoid her gaze and lower her head, the smile on her face instantly froze.
Is it because her smile isn't pretty enough?
Or did she fail to accurately convey her goodwill and affection?
Otherwise, why would that classmate avoid my gaze?
Filled with doubts, when the homeroom teacher asked them to choose their seats, Chen Xi decisively picked a seat closest to that classmate, so that she could observe this classmate carefully and, incidentally, get to know him.
Zhao Qingruo's gaze swept lightly over that corner, and when she met someone's eyes, the corners of her lips curled up slightly, her eyes filled with mockery.
Now that they've allowed her to appear in front of her sister, the subsequent plot development is no longer under their control.
If you want to take advantage of her, you have to see if she's willing to cooperate.
