12 years ago, the third young miss of the Su family was disfigured by a fire. Her parents, deeming her ill-fated, drove her out of the house.
12 years later, she became a sacrifice for a fami...
Chapter 1826: Are you deliberately causing trouble?
After Gu Hanye finished asking, Xiaojiu and Aying's eyes also fell on Chu Lingfeng.
Chu Lingfeng knew that everyone present was very confused at this moment.
What does the death of my sister and the housekeeper have to do with Gu Hanye?
In fact, he didn't even tell Aying about this.
Because the death of his sister and housekeeper Uncle Dai was a deeper pain for him, he was unwilling to mention it to others, or even to think about it.
After all, he was still young when his parents died, and now when he recalls their faces, they are a little blurry.
But in the years after leaving the Chu family, he and his sister lived with Uncle Dai, and the three of them depended on each other. Uncle Dai and his sister were his last two relatives in this world.
So when his sister and Uncle Dai were killed, Chu Lingfeng was greatly shocked.
Mr. Xiao took advantage of this psychology and fabricated a series of lies to make him believe that it was Gu Hanye who indirectly killed his sister and Uncle Dai...
Chu Lingfeng said to Gu Hanye, "Do you remember the name Chu Xiyao?"
Gu Hanye narrowed his eyes, "Chu Xiyao... I don't think I've heard of her. Who is she?"
"It's my sister."
Gu Hanye nodded, "So there's also a character called Yao..."
“…”
Chu Lingfeng held his forehead. Why was this guy always focusing on such strange things?
"Yes, it's the same character as the "Yao" in Jiuyao." Chu Lingfeng said and looked at Jiuyao.
Jiuyao frowned slightly, "Is this why the young master helped me?"
Chu Lingfeng: “…”
He looked at Aying again. Aying was also biting her lips and looking at him with her head tilted.
It seems that this girl is also curious, wondering whether his feelings for Xiaojiu have anything to do with the word "Yao".
Chu Lingfeng sighed inwardly. Why did Gu Hanye always find a way to divert everyone's attention...
Well, let me explain it clearly.
He didn't want Jiuyao to think that he helped her just because she and her sister had the same character in their names...
So Chu Lingfeng told the three people present that indeed, when he first heard Jiuyao's name, he felt very familiar with the word "Yao" in her name and immediately thought of his sister.
Later he heard that Xiaojiu had also experienced a fire and was lucky enough to survive. He felt that this girl's experience was so similar to that of his sister, so he wanted to help her even more.
But in the process of treating Xiaojiu, and later becoming friends with Xiaojiu and teaching her medical skills, etc., he did not treat Xiaojiu as a substitute for his sister.
I just sometimes think, if only my sister could have survived.
So sister is sister, and Xiaojiu is Xiaojiu.
Chu Lingfeng stopped talking at this point because the atmosphere was not right.
Xiaojiu was drinking water. Gu Hanye pulled Xiaojiu's ponytail. Xiaojiu glared at him and hit his hand.
Ah Ying turned her eyes away from his face and drank the wine sip by sip.
Although the girl's expression was calm, there was loss in her eyes.
Perhaps what Aying wanted to hear was that his feelings for Xiaojiu were just an emotional attachment to his sister, not true love.
But if he really developed feelings for Xiaojiu like a sister, he would protect her like a brother instead of trying to take her away from other men...
No matter what, Chu Lingfeng didn't want to deny that he had liked Xiaojiu.
He also wanted Aying to understand his current feelings.
But in front of Gu Hanye and Jiuyao, Chu Lingfeng couldn't say anything more. He could only explain to Aying later...
He pressed the base of Aying's goblet: "Okay, stop drinking."
Ah Ying said "Oh", let go of the wine glass obediently, and put her hands on her knees.
Gu Hanye also said: "Well, go on and tell me what the grudge between you and me is."
Chu Lingfeng snorted coldly. It was you who diverted the topic, and it was you who got jealous and didn't want to listen anymore. You also made my Ah Ying feel uncomfortable. Although Xiao Jiu didn't show it, he must have been a little embarrassed.
I really doubt whether you, Gu Hanye, are here to cause trouble on purpose.
If they weren't thinking about cooperating in the future, they would have to clear up all the previous misunderstandings to avoid harboring grudges and distrust of each other. Chu Lingfeng really didn't want to say anything more.
But having said that, I must finish.
Before continuing, Chu Lingfeng took Aying's wine glass and placed it on his side to prevent the girl from getting drunk again.
Then he took Aying's hand and squeezed it gently.
Aying wanted to pull her hand away, but he held it tightly. The girl didn't struggle anymore, but pinched him with her nails.
I heard him talk about his past with Xiaojiu, and I got jealous...
Oh, it seems I will have to coax her a little later, thanks to Gu Hanye.
Thinking of this, Chu Lingfeng was a little annoyed with Gu Hanye: "When you were thirteen, you lived in Switzerland for a while. You must remember this, right?"
Gu Hanye nodded, "I remember this."
He glanced at Xiaojiu and said, "I lived in the house by the lake at that time. We lived there for two weeks last year."
"That's it..." Xiao Jiu paused, "Just now, the young master said that he and his sister also lived in Switzerland. So you two did have some interactions in the past..."
Chu Lingfeng nodded. At that time, Gu Hanye lived in the wealthy area of the highlands, while he and his sister lived in the valley.
When Gu Hanye was out, he was hit by a car and rolled down a cliff, almost dying. His sister Xiyao and Uncle Dai happened to pass by and sent the injured Gu Hanye back home, thus saving his life.
In order to thank Xiyao and Uncle Dai, the Gu family gave them some fresh vegetables, fruits and meat, and personally sent them back to the village.
The younger sister was very happy. After she came back, she told Chu Lingfeng how she saved a big brother from Haicheng today, how she was thanked by his family, and how she received a lot of delicious food in return.
Chu Lingfeng was very worried because his sister was simple-minded and didn't know that they were in a dangerous situation.
He was afraid that his identity would be exposed, so he asked Uncle Dai what exactly happened.
Uncle Dai smiled and said, "Young master, you are worrying too much. The other party did not ask about our identities, and they don't look like a nosy family. Nothing should happen."
Uncle Dai said this, and Chu Lingfeng felt relieved. However, he did not expect that two days later, his enemies would come to his door. A fire took the lives of his sister and Uncle Dai...
With a sad and angry mood, Chu Lingfeng dealt with the funeral arrangements for his sister and Uncle Dai.
Before following Xiao Chongyang out of the village, he met an idler in the village.
He was an alcoholic, drinking from morning till night, always drunk. He stopped Chu Lingfeng and said to him, "Do you know who burned down your house? It was the guy your sister saved two days ago. That kid brought people to burn down your house!"
Chu Lingfeng had doubts about Gu Hanye before, but these were words spoken by a drunk man after all. He was not sure whether they were true or not, so he asked Mr. Xiao to investigate the matter.
A few days later, Mr. Xiao's investigation results were consistent with what the drunk man said.
Mr. Xiao told him that his sister had saved Gu Hanye out of kindness, but Gu Hanye had informed their enemies and brought them to their home...
Chu Lingfeng's hatred for Gu Hanye was planted from that time.
