When An Ancient Chinese Romance Novel Heroine Transmigrated Into A Lesbian Novel - Chapter 35

Liang Junsheng gasped twice, he hadn’t recovered from the intense pain, and even if he wanted to refute Jiang Jiang’s questioning, he seemed powerless.

“Liang Junsheng, you said you don’t believe in karma, then why did we both fall from the building at the same time, but you were the only one who was seriously injured, and I’m completely fine?”

The more Liang Junsheng suspected that she was the one who was playing tricks, the more Jiang Jiang wanted to say this matter openly, anyway, there was no such thing as qinggong in modern society, who would have thought that Jiang Jiang, a weak woman with no strength to truss a chicken, would actually have such abilities?

(TL: Qinggong, also known as “lightness skill,” is a Chinese martial arts technique that focuses on developing lightness and agility. It involves techniques for jumping, leaping, and maneuvering with speed and grace, often involving running up inclined surfaces like walls or planks.)

Even if Jiang Jiang really admitted that she knew qinggong, everyone would think she was joking.

Jiang Jiang’s words hit Liang Junsheng’s sore spot. Although Liang Junsheng had been saying bad things about Jiang Jiang in front of the police, he was actually puzzled in his heart.

Where did Xie Xiao get the confidence to be sure that she would be fine?

Could it be that there really was such a thing as retribution in this world?

Liang Junsheng was sweating profusely. He, who had never believed in ghosts and gods, couldn’t help but doubt his life. Could it be that there really were such things as ghosts in this world?

Did those cats came to me for revenge?

In an instant, many guesses emerged in Liang Junsheng’s mind. He even had an absurd idea. Could it be that Xie Xiao was possessed by a cat demon?

Otherwise, there was really no way to explain why Xie Xiao dared to jump off the building with him.

The anger burning in his chest instantly extinguished. Liang Junsheng recalled the feeling of being out of control when he fell from the building, and he couldn’t help but widen his eyes to look at Jiang Jiang not far away.

But he saw Jiang Jiang supporting the wheelchair, leaning on Ji Xu’an and silently shedding tears. Her shoulders were gently embraced by Ji Xu’an, and her whole person was like a frightened rabbit, shrinking in Ji Xu’an’s arms in a wronged and pitiful manner.

Because of Jiang Jiang’s accusations, everyone was glaring at Liang Junsheng at this time. In a place where no one noticed, Jiang Jiang glanced at Liang Junsheng, subtly curving her lips in a small, triumphant smile as she wiped away a tear.

This smug smile was clearly imprinted in Liang Junsheng’s eyes, and his face suddenly changed, his eyes filled with fear!

The scene in front of him seemed to overlap with the most terrifying scene in Liang Junsheng’s memory. The last time she smiled at him so strangely, was when she knocked him down the building, so what about this time?

What did she want to do again?

Liang Junsheng was anxious, and seeing that no one else had noticed Jiang Jiang’s abnormality, Liang Junsheng couldn’t help but laboriously raise his finger, pointing tremblingly at Jiang Jiang.

“She…she…” She wasn’t human at all!

It was as if a large wad of cotton was stuck in Liang Junsheng’s throat. Looking at the fleeting sneer and ridicule in Jiang Jiang’s eyes, he couldn’t say the rest of the words.

Could I, an ordinary person, really fight with a monster?!

Xie Xiao dared to deliberately anger him in front of everyone, she must have other tricks up her sleeve. The more angry he was, wouldn’t he be playing into Xie Xiao’s hands?

Liang Junsheng was completely afraid of Jiang Jiang. In his eyes, Jiang Jiang was no longer an ordinary person, she was a cunning and insidious demon!

Jiang Jiang could roughly guess what he was thinking just by looking at the changes in Liang Junsheng’s expression.

She sneered in her heart, and while slowly wiping away the tears from under her eyes, she continued to say as if nothing had happened, “Liang Junsheng, whether you believe it or not, people like you will be condemned by God sooner or later. Can you honestly say, with a clear conscience, that you didn’t lie to the police?”

Liang Junsheng had been frightened out of his wits by Jiang Jiang. Listening to Jiang Jiang’s questioning, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that Jiang Jiang’s words had other meanings.

Xie Xiao already knew that I had said bad things about her in front of the police!

What would she do?

Would she take action again to teach me a lesson and throw me down from the top floor of the hospital?

Liang Junsheng was trembling. Although he had the thought that he might as well have been killed in the fall, he was actually very afraid of death in essence.

And when people face an unknown fear, they will always do everything possible to guess and imagine, and in the end, they will likely scare themselves out of their wits.

Liang Junsheng was now in this stage.

Jiang Jiang only used a few words to scare him to the point of being terrified.

Seeing Liang Junsheng’s pale face, looking like he had seen a ghost, Ji Xu’an reached out and patted Jiang Jiang’s shoulder. “Let’s go.”

She had already agreed to let Jiang Jiang meet Liang Junsheng, and after that, Ji Xu’an didn’t plan to let the two meet again. She didn’t want Jiang Jiang’s good mood to be ruined by Liang Junsheng.

Jiang Jiang sniffed and nodded lightly, and then Ji Xu’an pushed her out of the ward.

With Liang Junsheng’s guilty and timid reaction just now, no one would believe his words anymore, and put the suspicion on Jiang Jiang.

From that day on, Jiang Jiang never saw Liang Junsheng again, but she soon learned from Ji Xu’an that Liang Junsheng had confessed his crimes in front of the police, and he personally admitted that the words he had said before were all nonsense.

All of this was planned by him alone, and had nothing to do with anyone. Xie Xiao was unaware of his plan.

If there were no accidents, Liang Junsheng was destined to eat prison food, but because he was still seriously injured and unable to move, he couldn’t be imprisoned for the time being, and could only stay in the hospital under the surveillance of the police 24 hours a day.

Jiang Jiang and Ji Xu’an had no objection to this result. Ji Xu’an only urged the police to issue a notice as soon as possible.

So at nine o’clock in the morning the next day, the S City police issued a case report on their official account about the widely spread case of a man and a woman falling from a building.

In the report, the police explained the ins and outs of the case in detail. They intentionally concealed Jiang Jiang’s identity information, and even her surname was a pseudonym. For Liang Junsheng, however, there was a clear introduction.

Although because of some things in the past, some people still raised questions about this, most people still believed the facts announced by the police.

Soon after this report was issued, many online big Vs reposted it, and almost every comment section of related news was full of scolding, all of which were condemnations and insults against Liang Junsheng.

Abusing cats, kidnapping, r*pe.

None of these were tolerated by everyone.

Even if someone occasionally spoke for Liang Junsheng, feeling that the reason he became like this was because he had suffered domestic violence in his childhood, such comments would soon be scolded by others and deleted.

No matter what Liang Junsheng had experienced, it was not a reason for him to attack innocent cats and classmates.

Ironically, shortly after Liang Junsheng’s true colors were exposed, a reporter interviewed Liang Junsheng’s former classmate, and in front of the camera, the other party’s expression was both pained and incredulous.

“I really didn’t expect him to be this kind of person. Alas, no matter how difficult it is, you can’t take the path of crime.”

“It’s difficult for children from poor families to get ahead, and it’s really not easy to get into a prestigious school. What he has now is already what many people are seeking but can’t get. Why can’t he be down-to-earth and earn money with his own hands?”

Jiang Jiang also saw this interview video. She remembered that in the story, Liang Junsheng also righteously accused “Xie Xiao” in this way. Now these “regrets” have all fallen on him. How can this not be considered retribution?

As for why Liang Junsheng admitted everything he had done so quickly, Jiang Jiang also asked Ji Xu’an, and Ji Xu’an only sneered lightly at the time.

“It’s a guilty conscience.”

Jiang Jiang then knew Ji Xu’an must have done something. She could even guess Ji Xu’an’s approach: it likely involved the tragically deceased cats.

…

That night.

Liang Junsheng was trapped in a nightmare again.

At first, the scenes in the dream were very normal. He was just walking aimlessly on the street. After walking for an unknown amount of time, Liang Junsheng suddenly heard a very soft meow.

Based on past experience, he quickly judged that it was a kitten that had just been born.

Even in the dream, Liang Junsheng could feel his heart beating violently.

He was excited.

Liang Junsheng held his breath and followed the meowing sound.

This was an alley that seemed to have no end. At first, he could still hear the sound of vehicles passing by and people talking, but later the sounds behind him gradually quieted down. Liang Junsheng could only hear his own footsteps echoing in the alley.

Liang Junsheng suddenly turned his head to look, and the road behind him was buried by a thick fog that covered the sky and the earth. He widened his eyes in horror, but found that he seemed to be trapped in a square cage.

Where was this?!

Liang Junsheng subconsciously wanted to escape. He felt a strong sense of crisis, as if something terrible would happen next if he couldn’t escape from this cage as soon as possible.

But unfortunately, no matter how he ran, the thick fog always blocked his way out. Liang Junsheng was exhausted, and finally could only collapse on the ground, panting heavily.

He was tired and hungry, and his throat was so dry that it was about to smoke. Liang Junsheng seemed to realize that he was dreaming, but all of this was so real.

The burning hunger in his stomach was about to drive him crazy.

After an unknown amount of time, Liang Junsheng almost thought that he was going to faint from hunger. Just when he was about to completely despair, Liang Junsheng suddenly felt a gentle hand holding up his head, and then a warm and wet feeling came from his mouth.

Liang Junsheng instinctively opened his mouth wide, swallowing the things flowing into his mouth. The milky and rich juice slid down his esophagus and quickly filled the emptiness in his stomach.

Liang Junsheng finally felt that he was alive again.

He tried hard to see who the owner of that big hand was, but the scene in front of him was always dark. Liang Junsheng was forced to give up this plan. He didn’t know what it was, but he could feel that the hand had no malice towards him.

After that, Liang Junsheng lived a monotonous life day after day. Every day, he tried his best to escape from the black fog, but in the end, he always failed. He also tried to communicate with the owner of that big hand, but the other party didn’t respond to him.

He knew nothing about that big hand. The only thing he could be sure of was that it would appear when he felt hungry and provide him with delicious food.

Over time, Liang Junsheng seemed to have forgotten that he was dreaming. He really regarded himself as a person living in the fog.

Perhaps it was because he was too lonely, and could only be accompanied by the silent darkness, so Liang Junsheng began to look forward to the arrival of that big hand.

Although the other party had never responded to him, it took care of him so gently and satisfied all his needs. Liang Junsheng gradually became dependent on it.

He began to actively eat the food, and even said some soft words to please it. Although it never spoke, Liang Junsheng could feel that it liked him.

He didn’t know how long these days had passed. Liang Junsheng had forgotten the passage of time. He began to like the contact with that big hand more and more, and a wonderful idea even arose in his mind. It seemed not bad to be able to live with it forever.

However, soon, his beautiful dream was crushed by his favorite big hand.

Actually, Liang Junsheng didn’t remember if there were any omens. It should have been an ordinary day. Not long after he ate the food it gave him, he felt his stomach start to hurt. Gradually, the pain became more and more intense, and it was as if a knife was stirring in his body.

Liang Junsheng fell to the ground and twitched non-stop.

He widened his eyes and looked incredulously at the black fog in the void, trembling his lips and questioning with difficulty, “Wh…why?”

Weren’t they getting along very happily?

Why did it have to treat me like this?

It didn’t answer.

Liang Junsheng’s consciousness was about to blur from the pain. He seemed to see a pair of cold eyes appearing in the darkness. It was looking down at him like this, and no matter how he questioned and begged for mercy, it didn’t say a word.

Liang Junsheng began to crawl on the ground with his hands. He wanted to escape. It was no longer the it he was familiar with. The current it was a devil!

But before he could crawl far, Liang Junsheng heard the sound of a sharp weapon cutting through the void. He looked back in panic and confusion, but he just happened to see that big hand that he had relied on holding a big knife, and slashing it down at him!

Liang Junsheng didn’t even have time to dodge. He watched his feet being hit by the sharp blade, like cutting a soft piece of tofu. Those two feet separated from his body in the blink of an eye.

Fresh red blood spurted out, and Liang Junsheng belatedly felt the piercing pain. He screamed madly, dragging his still bleeding stumps and crawling on the ground with difficulty, leaving a winding trail of blood.

But it didn’t let him go. The butcher’s knife, like a shadow following closely behind him, cut off his legs inch by inch, first the calves, then the thighs…

In the end, Liang Junsheng even felt that his entire lower body was almost gone.

The pain and excessive blood loss made Liang Junsheng’s brain chaotic. His eyes were blackening, and a strong smell of blood filled his nose. Liang Junsheng knew that he was about to die.

He suddenly felt very wronged, and his brain was completely occupied by resentment and pain.

Why why why!

Why treat me like this!!

Didn’t it love me? Why did it have to kill me with its own hands!!

Liang Junsheng desperately questioned in his mind, because he couldn’t speak anymore.

Just when he thought that the last knife was about to fall on him, the big hand stopped, and the black fog in front of him was gradually dissipating.

Was it a last gleam of light?

Or had he really been redeemed?

Liang Junsheng used all his strength to raise his head. He saw a mirror slowly appearing in front of him, the surface of the mirror rippling like water.

In a distorted scene, Liang Junsheng finally saw what he looked like now.

He wasn’t wearing any clothes, and his entire body was covered in orange-yellow fur. This fur should have been soft and smooth, but at this time it was messy and soaked in blood.

Liang Junsheng’s head was as if it had been struck by lightning. At this moment, he finally remembered that he had become it.

The orange cat that he had tortured and killed for the first time.

The scene in front of him began to collapse. At the end of his vision, Liang Junsheng vaguely saw a pair of watery cat eyes.

So it turned out that when it died, the water stains all over the ground contained not only the blood from its body, but also the tears it shed.

…

“Ahhhhh—!!”

A shrill scream pierced the sky and also woke up the caregiver in the ward.

He got up and walked towards Liang Junsheng, “Mr. Liang, what’s wrong?”

Liang Junsheng desperately backed away, as if he had seen a ghost, “Don’t come over! Don’t come over!!”

The caregiver stopped, “Mr. Liang, do you need any help?”

Liang Junsheng hadn’t been able to get out of that nightmare yet. He was frightened, and kept muttering, “Don’t come looking for me! I was wrong! Don’t come over!”

The caregiver secretly rolled his eyes. This is what they mean by, “If you haven’t done anything wrong, you don’t have to be afraid of ghosts knocking on your door.”

Liang Junsheng had done too many bad things, that’s why he always had nightmares.

Since Liang Junsheng didn’t want his help, the caregiver went back to bed with peace of mind. Anyway, President Ji had instructed that as long as the person didn’t die, he could do whatever he wanted.

He noticed the bodyguards outside remained unresponsive.

He didn’t believe that they hadn’t heard Liang Junsheng’s screams.

In fact, not only the bodyguards heard it, but even the two nurses on duty not far away heard it clearly, but the higher-ups had instructed them not to interfere, so the two nurses could only pretend not to hear.

However, ignoring it was one thing, and it didn’t stop them from secretly discussing the matter.

“I heard from Xiao Liu that he seems to have a problem here.” The person speaking pointed to her head.

Another person chimed in, “It seems that he has nightmares whenever he sleeps, day or night.”

“That’s right.” The person who spoke earlier lowered her voice and said, “I heard that he always says he can hear cats meowing.”

“At first, it was the shrill screams of different kittens, intermittently, and finally ending with a loud thud of something heavy falling to the ground.”

“But only he can hear it, everyone else says there’s no such thing.”

Another person shuddered, “This matter is quite mysterious, do you think it could really be…”

The person who spoke first shook her head, revealing a meaningful expression, and then leaned close to the other person’s ear, saying in a very soft voice, “Yesterday I saw a group of people go in, with the president of the hospital personally accompanying them. The one walking next to him looked a lot like that psychologist who’s quite famous abroad…”

Hearing these words, the other person couldn’t help but reveal a surprised expression, “Then wouldn’t that be…”

“Shhh.” Her companion interrupted her unfinished words, “Whether it’s really a vengeful spirit or man-made, we’re just two little nurses, don’t go out and talk nonsense, and don’t tell anyone that I told you.”

“I don’t want to lose this job yet.”

That person quickly covered her mouth and nodded desperately. She understood that no matter what the truth of the matter was, it wasn’t something she could interfere with.

However, although more of the truth wasn’t revealed, the fact that Liang Junsheng had nightmares every day was still spread, but everyone would only clap their hands and cheer, and no one sympathized with him.

Fortunately, Liang Junsheng was now staying in the hospital, and everyone couldn’t get in touch with him for the time being. Those wreaths sent by angry netizens couldn’t be sent into the hospital either, otherwise Liang Junsheng would have been even more miserable.

…

Jiang Jiang didn’t pay attention to any more news related to Liang Junsheng. She was discharged from the hospital on the morning of the second day after waking up. Ji Heyuan and Fu Xihe and others all came to the hospital to pick her up, and Ji Heyuan also suggested that everyone celebrate together.

“This is what they mean by, ‘Surviving a disaster is sure to bring good fortune,’ it’s just right to get rid of the bad luck.” Ji Heyuan said in a serious manner.

Although Jiang Jiang felt that it wasn’t necessary, looking at the expectant gazes of the others, she had no choice but to look at Ji Xu’an with the same gaze.

Everyone was waiting for Ji Xu’an’s permission.

Ji Xu’an felt like she was a kindergarten teacher, and the others were a group of naughty little children.

However, she also thought that there was some truth to it, so in the end she agreed to Ji Heyuan’s suggestion.

They’d initially planned to eat at a restaurant, but Ji Heyuan’s sudden change of heart led her to realize she’d never visited Jiang Jiang and Ji Xu’an’s home.

“It just so happens that Star River Bay isn’t far from here. Let’s buy some snacks and ingredients and go over there. We can sit and eat slowly, and chat while we eat.”

Ji Xu’an said with a faint expression, “Buy ingredients, are you cooking?”

Ji Heyuan was stuck, “I want to, but I can’t!”

Ji Xu’an couldn’t either. Jiang Jiang’s cooking skills were good, but the problem was that she was the main character today, and she was still a patient, so they couldn’t let her cook.

Ji Heyuan racked her brains and finally came up with a good idea.

“Well, Secretary Zhao definitely has a way! Besides, money can buy anything, finding a good cook shouldn’t be a problem.”

Ji Xu’an sneered, “Are you the one paying?”

When Ji Heyuan went to the hospital yesterday, she accidentally ran into the scene of Jiang Jiang acting coquettishly with Ji Xu’an. This scene left a deep impression on her, so much so that she also learned this trick.

“Please, my good sister, please!please!” She grabbed Ji Xu’an’s arm.

Ji Xu’an felt her head throbbing.

Jiang Jiang was well-behaved and had a soft and glutinous voice, so she was good at acting coquettishly, which made people’s hearts melt.

Ji Heyuan wasn’t bad-looking either, but her personality had always been carefree and mischievous. When she acted coquettishly, it made Ji Xu’an unable to look directly at her.

This was probably the difference between a rabbit selling cuteness and a water buffalo pretending to be well-behaved.

Ji Xu’an closed her eyes, and glanced at Jiang Jiang out of the corner of her eye. She was looking at them with a smile, obviously she didn’t object to this matter, and even looked forward to it. Ji Xu’an could only compromise.

“Let’s go.”

Because Jiang Jiang’s foot was still injured, in the end, everyone didn’t go to buy groceries. Ji Xu’an directly called Secretary Zhao and asked him to arrange everything.

Afterwards, Ji Xu’an called another driver and asked him to drive Fu Xihe and the others to Star River Bay.

It was Ji Heyuan’s first time coming to her sister and sister-in-law’s house, and she was actually a little restrained. After entering the door, she looked left and right, with a nervous and curious look.

Seeing this, Xu Zhen couldn’t help but secretly asked, “Xiao Yuan, what are you looking at?”

Ji Heyuan raised her finger and held it to her lips, “Shhh, keep it down, don’t let my sister hear.”

Xu Zhen:?

Ji Heyuan explained in a super small voice, “I’m afraid of seeing something I shouldn’t see.”

That would be so embarrassing!

She was fine if she didn’t say it, but once she said it, Xu Zhen also felt a little unnatural.

Although it was hard to avoid certain things when adults were in love, in everyone’s hearts, Ji Xu’an was like an elder, and still the super strict kind.

It was really hard not to be afraid.

Xu Zhen tugged at the corner of Ji Heyuan’s clothes, “If you’re afraid, then don’t look.”

Ji Heyuan clicked her tongue twice, “You don’t understand.”

She was just ashamed and excited, after all, there weren’t many opportunities to tease her sister.

Unfortunately, no matter how Ji Heyuan checked, the house was clean, and there was nothing that shouldn’t have appeared.

Ji Heyuan was a little discouraged, but she still didn’t give up.

She thought, could it be in the bedroom?

Not only Jiang Jiang, but even Ji Xu’an saw through Ji Heyuan’s unhealthy intentions, her pale face and frantic movements betraying her.

Jiang Jiang glanced at Ji Xu’an with a blushing face, and then cleared her throat, pretending to be calm and said to Ji Xu’an, “Sister, I’ll go back to the room and change my clothes first.”

Ji Xu’an nodded, “Go ahead.”

Jiang Jiang walked into her room with crutches, and Ji Heyuan’s gaze followed her figure, silently remembering this.

As soon as Jiang Jiang left, the atmosphere in the living room suddenly became cold.

Ji Heyuan asked the other few people to wait for her, and then ran to the kitchen to find Ji Xu’an.

She leaned against the door frame and started looking for something to say, “Sister, Xie Jiang Jiang isn’t feeling well, why don’t you go in and help her?”

Very good, the first sentence asked the key point.

Ji Xu’an was making tea for the guests, and without turning her head, she said, “Are you very concerned about our affairs?”

“Hey.” Ji Heyuan rubbed her hands awkwardly. “I’m just concerned about the progress of your relationship. Besides, it’s not just me who’s concerned, Grandma definitely wants to know too.”

Ji Xu’an ignored her. Grandma had already agreed to let me cancel the engagement with Jiang Jiang, so how could she secretly match us up again?

Ji Xu’an felt that Ji Heyuan was lying to her.

But this time she really wronged Ji Heyuan. Old Madam Ji had really inquired about this matter with Ji Heyuan, but at the time she had repeatedly told Ji Heyuan not to tell Ji Xu’an.

As soon as the words came out, Ji Heyuan also remembered her promise to Grandma, so she awkwardly wanted to skip this topic.

The way she changed the subject was too stiff, and Ji Xu’an heard Ji Heyuan’s guilty conscience, but she was even more certain of her thoughts because of this.

So, without Ji Xu’an knowing, she had already missed an opportunity to perceive the truth.

While Ji Xu’an was washing the teacups with her back to Ji Heyuan, she said in a calm tone, “You don’t need to worry about the things between us.”

“Why don’t I need to!” Ji Heyuan was anxious. She still wanted to hear gossip. “I’m your own sister, shouldn’t I care about you?”

Ji Xu’an chuckled, “Thank you, but there’s no need.”

Ji Heyuan choked, “Are you so indifferent? Just now I saw that Xie Jiang Jiang entered a room that didn’t seem to be the master bedroom, you two wouldn’t still be sleeping in separate beds, right?”

Ji Heyuan was just saying it casually. In fact, she didn’t see clearly whether Jiang Jiang entered the master bedroom or the second bedroom just now. She didn’t expect that after hearing these words, Ji Xu’an would default to her statement.

“Really?” Ji Heyuan was shocked. “You two shouldn’t be like this, why are you still sleeping in separate beds?”

Ji Xu’an sensed that something was wrong. Listening to Ji Heyuan’s tone, it was as if it was extremely unreasonable for her and Jiang Jiang to sleep in separate beds.

She shook the water droplets off her hands, faced Ji Heyuan sideways, and glanced at the other party out of the corner of her eye, “Why shouldn’t we?”

What gave Ji Heyuan the illusion that me and Jiang Jiang should sleep in the same bed?

Ji Xu’an reflected on it. During these days, there hadn’t been any actions between her and Jiang Jiang that went beyond sisterly affection, so where did Ji Heyuan see that our relationship was very good?

Ji Xu’an intuitively felt that there were still things she didn’t know about here.

Fortunately, Ji Heyuan quickly gave her the answer.

“You’re still asking me!” Ji Heyuan gritted her teeth. Suspecting Ji Xu’an was deliberately hiding something, she blurted out, “You and Xie Jiang Jiang have slept together, so what’s the point of pretending otherwise!”

This isn’t even a necessary thing to hide.

Ji Xu’an’s gaze suddenly froze, because she heard that the “slept together” in Ji Heyuan’s mouth wasn’t a simple sharing of a bed, but a deeper, more intimate behavior between lovers.

Ji Xu’an’s expression became very faint, and those dark eyes stared steadily at Ji Heyuan, full of invisible pressure.

“Who told you that Xie Jiang Jiang and I have slept together?”

Ji Heyuan didn’t understand why, but she instinctively sensed danger, and she met Ji Xu’an’s gaze in a flustered manner.

“Well… Xie Jiang Jiang said it.”

“Could it be that she’s lying to me?”

That’s impossible, right?  Would Xie Jiang Jiang really dare to spread such rumors about my own sister?

…

Jiang Jiang changed her clothes and opened the door, limping towards the living room.

As soon as she reached the living room, she keenly noticed that something was wrong.

There were five people in the living room in total.

Among them, Ji Heyuan was looking at her with a complicated expression that was both confused and shocked. Ji Xu’an was sitting on the sofa with her legs crossed, and she glanced at Jiang Jiang lightly, the emotions in her eyes unfathomable.

The other two were obediently holding teacups, drinking tea without knowing what was going on, and were completely unaware of the undercurrents in the living room.

Jiang Jiang understood, so the problem was with Ji Heyuan.

Most likely Ji Heyuan had said something to Ji Xu’an.

And what she said must be related to herself.

Jiang Jiang quickly recalled what she had said in front of Ji Heyuan, and quickly guessed the reason.

No wonder Ji Xu’an’s attitude was so abnormal, she probably already knew that she had deliberately misled Ji Heyuan.

Jiang Jiang calmed down, she pretended not to know, first called out “Sister,” and then sat down on the sofa.

Jiang Jiang’s seating arrangement was strategically clever. She was sitting next to Ji Heyuan, and Ji Xu’an was sitting on a single sofa, with the two of them surrounding Jiang Jiang in the middle.

Ji Heyuan wanted to say something to Jiang Jiang, but Ji Xu’an was sitting next to her, and under her sister’s death stare, Ji Heyuan moved her lips, but didn’t dare to speak. She took out her phone from her pocket and secretly sent a WeChat message to Jiang Jiang.

After sending it, Ji Heyuan didn’t hear the familiar ding-dong sound, and Jiang Jiang didn’t seem to want to take out her phone to take a look. Ji Heyuan was anxious, and she nudged Jiang Jiang’s arm with her elbow.

Jiang Jiang:?

Jiang Jiang looked at Ji Heyuan with a puzzled expression, “What’s wrong, Xiao Yuan?”

As soon as these words came out, everyone’s eyes fell on Ji Heyuan, and Ji Heyuan immediately felt a lot of pressure.

She coughed softly and didn’t dare to look at her sister’s expression, “It’s nothing.”

“Um, where’s your phone?”

Jiang Jiang was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized, “It was still in my pocket just now, I must have put it in the room when I changed my clothes.”

She asked Ji Heyuan, “What’s wrong? Do you have something you want to say to me?”

Ji Heyuan’s head was about to explode, this is what they mean by “ignorance is bliss”!

Xie Jiang Jiang had no idea what she was enduring at this moment.

“It’s nothing important, hahaha.” Ji Heyuan smiled very stiffly, almost writing the words “I’m faking a smile” on her face.

Probably Ji Xu’an couldn’t stand it anymore, she stood up, her gaze falling on Jiang Jiang, “Is there any fruit at home, I’ll wash some.”

Jiang Jiang quickly stood up as well, “There are still apples and grapes in the refrigerator, but they were bought a few days ago, I don’t know if they’re still edible.”

She followed Ji Xu’an to the kitchen, and Yan Ke seemed to want to say something, but Ji Heyuan grabbed her wrist.

She shook her head at Yan Ke, signaling her not to interfere.

This was a matter between her sister and Xie Jiang Jiang, and outsiders couldn’t say much.

Ji Xu’an found the apples and grapes that Jiang Jiang mentioned in the refrigerator. Fortunately, they were still fresh and hadn’t spoiled. She picked some of each and put them on a plate.

Jiang Jiang was standing on the side, leaning against the counter. She looked at Ji Xu’an’s cold and beautiful profile and asked softly, “Sister, do you have something you want to say to me?”

Ji Xu’an didn’t raise her head, her long eyelashes were half-lowered, and her expression seemed particularly indifferent. “Why do you say that?”

“When I came out just now, Xiao Yuan looked at me with a very strange expression, and…” Jiang Jiang bit her lip, and an expression of grievance unconsciously appeared on her face, “Your attitude towards me isn’t as intimate as before either.”

Ji Xu’an let out a long sigh. Jiang Jiang had just left the hospital and shouldn’t be upset again, but Ji Xu’an still felt uneasy.

She lifted her eyelids to look at Jiang Jiang, the exploration and scrutiny in her eyes clear at a glance. “I don’t reject being close to you, but it can only be the intimacy between sisters. There’s a line between us that can never be crossed, do you understand?”

Jiang Jiang was stunned, and she looked at Ji Xu’an helplessly, “Is it… is it that I did something wrong that made you feel uncomfortable?”

Ji Xu’an looked at her deeply. The unease and confusion on Jiang Jiang’s face were so real that even she couldn’t see the slightest flaw, but she really couldn’t understand why Jiang Jiang would say those words in front of Xiao Yuan.

“Then do you think you’ve done something wrong?” Ji Xu’an decided to give her a chance to confess actively.

Jiang Jiang twisted the hem of her clothes with her hands, and carefully probed, “Was it because I wasn’t well-behaved when I was sleeping last night? Or should I not have let Xiao Yuan and the others come to the house today?”

Ji Xu’an was silent.

Jiang Jiang understood, she was wrong about everything.

She lowered her head, tears swirling in her eyes, but stubbornly refusing to fall, “Can Sister give me a hint?”

“I really can’t understand, we were clearly fine just now, why did your attitude suddenly become cold?”

Her voice was trembling with sobs.

This made Ji Xu’an feel like she had really done something wrong.
