Nan Zhi did not expect Nan Xuan to not let go of this point, but she only panicked for a moment before she forced herself to calm down and explain.
“Of course, of course I want to blame her, but she’s my sister.” Nan Zhi subconsciously pretended to be kind.
Even after being questioned, she instinctively tried to maintain a good image.
Nan Zhi felt a little uncomfortable when Nan Xuan’s eyes seemed to be able to see through everything.
The joy of the siblings’ reunion gradually calmed down. She keenly realized that Nan Xuan seemed to have been asking her about Nan Qiao only.
Nan Zhi opened her mouth and mustered her courage to ask him. “So you’re not here to see me today, right?”
Nan Zhi was not stupid. She knew how to use the surrounding conditions to develop things that were beneficial to her. Now that she saw Nan Xuan, the first thing he said was not to comfort her, but to ask about Nan Qiao. After thinking for a while, she understood something.
Nan Xuan didn’t nod or shake his head. Instead, he remained silent for a long while before speaking.
“I know you’re the mastermind, and He Qian is just your scapegoat.” He looked at Nan Zhi in disappointment, his tone heartbroken and cold.
There were some answers that he did not need to get from Nan Zhi personally. He only asked those questions and after observing Nan Zhi’s reaction, he had his own answer in his heart.
However, after getting the answer from Nan Zhi personally, Nan Xuan’s heart could not help but ache again.
He recalled everything that Nan Qiao had experienced in the Nan family. They were clearly by Nan Qiao’s side, but not only did they not react to what Nan Zhi and her mother had done, they even stood on the evil side and blamed Nan Qiao, adding to her misfortune and pain.
He was the one who should be giving Nan Qiao warmth, but he was the one who ended up hurting her the most.
“…” Nan Zhi stopped talking.
Silence spread between the two of them, carrying coldness and numbness. The two of them, who were once so close that they were like real siblings, were now as distant as strangers.
The policewoman beside them stepped forward and reminded the two of them, “Visiting time is over.”
Nan Zhi was brought back, while Nan Xuan walked out and saw the gloomy weather outside.
Dark clouds covered the originally bright and comfortable blue sky. There were a few faint lightning bolts flickering between the clouds, as if they could strike at any time and bring on the rain.
Nan Xuan, who was not in a good mood to begin with, immediately felt even more depressed when he saw this scene. He couldn’t help but think about how sad Qiaoqiao must have been at that time. Even when she died in the end, was she also begging for their help?
This thought continued to grow and take root in Nan Xuan’s heart. He could not help but think of this possibility.
However, the more he thought about it, the more he blamed himself.
He blamed himself for not being more rational and clear headed. He blamed himself for not being able to see through Nan Zhi and her mother’s vicious schemes.
Also, he had not done anything to help. He was only disappointed in Nan Qiao and watched coldly as she suffered.
From a breeze or a raindrop, it finally accumulated into a violent and arrogant storm. A wave of emotions that almost made him suffer surged in his heart, drowning Nan Xuan.
Countless noisy thoughts buzzed in his mind at the same time. In the end, they only turned into one goal.
He had to meet Murong Qiao personally. The sooner, the better.
In the blink of an eye, the weekend arrived.
Hui University did not have many classes on the weekends. The arrangement of the classes was very humane for the students.
Murong Qiao planned to go home on the weekend, so after informing her roommates, she took the same flight back home.
“Young Miss, you’re back.” The butler, Uncle Yang, stood at the door and welcomed her home with a smile.
Hearing the familiar voice, Murong Qiao subconsciously felt relieved.
It was still afternoon, so no one came back earlier than her. After Murong Qiao greeted the butler, Uncle Yang, she returned to her room alone.
“I’m home, Big Brother.” She sat on the bed to rest and did not forget to send a message to her Big Brother Murong Chen.
Almost the next second, Murong Chen replied. “Yes, I got it. 1’11 be home in half an hour.”
“Also, Third Brother might bring someone back today to have a meal together.” He instructed.
Murong Chuan might be bringing someone back?
Murong Qiao’s gaze landed on the phone screen, staring at the last message from Big Brother Murong Chen.
Judging from Big Brother’s tone, did Murong Chuan have a girlfriend?
She could not help but make a guess in her heart. She thought of how Murong Chuan usually looked when he was teaching them. For a moment, she was really curious about what kind of woman could make Murong Chuan take a fancy to her.
Half an hour passed slowly. Soon, there was a commotion downstairs and Murong Qiao heard it.
She suddenly got up from the bed, pushed open the door, and walked towards the stairs. Using the angle from high to low, she immediately saw the three people returning from the door.
Other than the two Big Brothers she was familiar with, there was also a very dignified-looking woman standing beside Murong Chuan. She held his arm and had a faint smile on her face. It looked like they were having a good chat.
“Big Brother! Third Brother!” Murong Qiao waved at them.
She ran down the stairs at lightning speed and threw herself into Big Brother’s arms right on the heels of that.
Murong Chen also opened his arms and hugged Murong Qiao. Their intimate posture made it obvious that they were very close.
“Slow down. What if you fall?” Big Brother Murong Chen was helpless.
Although he said that, his actions were indeed very doting. His grip on Murong Qiao was very tight.
Meanwhile, Murong Chuan was standing on the other side. Although his relationship with his Little Sister wasn’t that good, when he returned home and saw this scene, the expression on his face couldn’t help but soften, and his body also relaxed.
“This is the sister 1 told you about before, Murong Qiao.” Murong Chuan turned his head and introduced her to the person beside him.
Hearing Murong Chuan’s voice, Murong Qiao moved her head away from Big Brother Murong Chen’s arms and looked at the woman beside him.
“Hello, my name is Gu Yin,” Gu Yin said and smiled at her kindly.
Murong Qiao looked at her. “Hello.”
The woman in front of her was dressed in simple and elegant clothes. The beige and warm yellow colors made her look very gentle. The clothes she was wearing were considered ordinary, a sweater under her beige windbreaker.
“Eldest Young Master, dinner is ready,” Uncle Yang said at the right time.
Murong Chen nodded and touched Murong Qiao’s soft hair in his arms. “1 asked the chef to make your favorite cupcake tonight.”
His voice was gentle. When Gu Yin saw Murong Qiao’s appearance, she couldn’t help but feel a little envious.
“Really?!” Murong Qiao immediately perked up.
She raised her head and looked at her Big Brother Murong Chen. Her tone was also happy.
Murong Chen nodded indulgently. “But it can only be used as dessert. Eating too much is not good for your stomach.”
The Murong Family’s chef’s culinary skills were superb. At the last banquet, Murong Chen noticed that his Little Sister seemed to be especially fond of eating small desserts. Thus, every time she came home, he would ask the chef to prepare some for her..
