In the car, Chen Jing kept staring at the man who was driving. Bai Jingming had noticed it a long time ago, but he just didn't say anything to see how long she would stare at him.

In the end, Chen Jing couldn't help but ask.

"Boss Bai, why do I feel like you and Bai Qingqing don't look like ordinary siblings?"

"Huh? What do you mean? What's not like?"

Bai Jingming asked her with a faint smile.

"It just doesn't feel right. You seem very strict with her?"

In fact, what she wanted to express was that she disliked him, but she was afraid that she would not express it well and he would misunderstand her.

Then there's no need.

"Yes, she is not my biological sister. She was adopted by our family when she was twelve years old."

"What? Not my biological sister?"

Chen Jing's voice was a little louder because of shock.

"Surprised?"

“Few people know she was adopted.”

"But your family already has a child like you, why do you want to adopt another?"

Chen Jing was puzzled.

Bai Jingming was not at all displeased by the woman's series of questions.

"When I was 16, my father had a project to investigate in a small town. The mayor at the time asked Qingqing's father to be his guide. He invited my father to his home one day. My father thought he was a very honest man and wanted to help him. But unexpectedly, their house suddenly caught fire while they were having dinner. My father said that the fire spread very quickly and it was Qingqing's father who managed to push my father out, thus saving him from disaster. However, he died in the fire. After the disaster, Qingqing was the only one left in their family."

"So, your uncle adopted her to repay her father for saving his life?"

Chen Jing finally figured it out.

"That's right, so when Qingqing came to our house, we treated her very attentively, even more attentively than our own children."

"Then why do you treat her like this today?"

Thinking about it this way, Chen Jing was confused again. Shouldn't Bai Jingming be very good to her? Why was he like this today?

Bai Jingming glanced at Chen Jing, who had a questioning look on her face.

He couldn't help but raise his hand to smooth the woman's wrinkled brows.

"Are you so distressed?"

The man's voice was filled with laughter.

"Troubled, of course I am troubled!"

Chen Jing nodded affirmatively.

"I originally thought she would be like her father, an honest and sensible girl, but later I gradually realized that she was not as simple as I thought. To be more precise, she has ulterior motives!"

Having said that, Bai Jingming's expression suddenly became serious.

"Go on."

Chen Jing was like listening to an opera, she was addicted to it.

"One time, there was a parent-teacher conference at school, and my parents were busy, so they asked me to attend it for her. But it was a last-minute decision that day, and I didn't tell her. When I got to school, around the corner from her classroom, I heard her and her classmates cursing my parents, saying that our family owed her everything, and that no matter what she wanted, we should give it to her, so she didn't have to work hard at all to get everything."

After hearing this, I was really a little shocked. I didn't expect that in her heart, our family existed in this way. But then I thought about her father's affairs, and I knew that we really owed her, so I didn't say much.

"Later, I discovered that she often said one thing to our faces and another behind our backs. In front of us, she acted sweet and sensible, making people feel sorry for her. But once we weren't around, she became arrogant and vicious, and even bullied her classmates at school."

The more Bai Jingming spoke, the more serious his expression became.

Chen Jing became indignant when she heard this.

"Then you didn't tell your parents?"

Bai Jingming shook his head helplessly.

"I've said it, more than once, but it's no use. She's too good at pretending. In my parents' eyes, she's so innocent and cute. I've told them many times, but they don't believe me. They even think I'm trying to sow discord. As time goes by, I've become too lazy to say it anymore because I believe that truth will eventually come to light. One day, they'll realize for themselves that the person they've treated with such care for so many years is an ungrateful person."

Chen Jing was silent.

No wonder this woman could do so many disgusting things, it turns out it was a habit she developed since she was a child.

"Her father is so brave, how could he raise a child like her?"

Chen Jing sighed sincerely.

Suddenly she remembered something.

"Have you found out what caused that accident? How could it be such a coincidence that the fire happened just when my uncle was having dinner?"

"You think it's a little strange, right?"

Bai Jingming was not surprised that Chen Jing came up with this idea.

Because he had considered it too.

Now he is more and more certain that Chen Jing and he are definitely destined to be together, otherwise their ideas would not be so similar.

"I have secretly investigated, but no matter how hard I try, they say it was an accident caused by aging circuits. After all, so many years have passed, and there are really few clues."

"Do you want to continue investigating, boy?"

Bai Jingming nodded firmly.

"If you want to investigate, and if you have suspicions, then there is a problem,"

Chen Jing strongly agreed with his approach.

I couldn't help but reach out and pat Bai Jingming's shoulder.

"I support you!"

The woman's bright eyes reflected his face, her gaze firm.

"After all these years, you're the first one to support me in investigating this matter."

Bai Jingming's tone was a little excited.

Chen Jing didn't hear it, she always felt that he didn't mean that.

"Don't speak in that tone! I'm simply supporting you, not for myself."

The woman turned her head and sat upright. Her frank look made Bai Jingming feel much better.

"I will never doubt your intentions. You don't have to be so sensitive."

The man's words were like a summer breeze, warming Chen Jing's heart.

What happened to her today? Why was she so upset so often because of this man?

She shook her head several times, trying to wake herself up.

"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

Bai Jingming asked as he saw the woman's strange look.

"No, no, well, just drop me off at the next intersection. I'll be there in two steps."

He saw the woman's panic, but he didn't say anything to stop her. He obediently parked the car on the side of the road.

When Chen Jing saw the car stopped, she quickly unbuckled her seat belt and got out.

A goodbye was quickly silenced by the sound of a door closing.

Bai Jingming sat in the car, watching with amusement as the woman trotted away and disappeared around the corner.

He himself didn't even notice that the corners of his mouth had not shrunk the entire day as long as he was with Chen Jing.

Chen Jing hurried back home, and her heart could not calm down for a long time.

Chen Fan, who came out of the room after hearing the sound, immediately noticed something was wrong with his sister.

"Were you chased away by a monkey?"

Chen Fan looked at Chen Jing as if she were a monster.

Chen Jing gave him a glare.

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

Chen Fan seemed to have confirmed something, and with an inquiring look in his eyes, he approached her step by step.

"I see!"
