Chapter 039: Who is the best at deceiving others

"Aunt, did I have a bad relationship with...Brother Wu Yu in the past?" She pretended to hesitate and asked tentatively.

She had to let Meng Yulan know that the reason they slept in separate beds last night was not because of their relationship, but because she had lost her memory, was not very familiar with Qi Wuyu, and was not used to sleeping together.

Of course, she was curious about what the relationship between Qi Wuyu and the original owner was like in the past, but to be honest, she didn't want to find out from others. However, if others insisted on telling her, she wouldn't stop them. It's just that she wouldn't take the initiative to find out... at least not for now.

Sure enough, when she said this, Meng Yulan was stunned.

Apparently she was remembering her amnesia.

"...That's not the case. It's just that when a couple lives together, they're bound to quarrel. When you quarrel occasionally, you sleep separately. I'm just afraid that you'll quarrel again."

"No." Qi Luo smiled. "We were having breakfast together this morning and my cousin saw it. Do you think we looked like we were arguing?"

Meng Yulan recalled how the two of them had breakfast in harmony in the morning, and how Qi Wuyu reminded Qi Luo before leaving the house that he would be back in a while, and shook her head.

"We didn't have a fight, so don't worry about us, aunt. We just... I lost my memory and forgot everything about everyone, including Brother Wu Yu. I need some time to adapt." She smiled helplessly.

"I know, I know. Madam, don't put too much pressure on yourself. Take it slow. At worst, you can just get familiar with the young master again. Our young master is so outstanding. Once you get familiar with him again, you will definitely like him."

After thinking for a while, she added, "Our eldest master is a little cold-tempered, but those of us who have been with him for many years can see clearly that he treats you differently. If the eldest young lady hears any gossip outside, don't take it to heart. Our eldest young master is not the kind of person who will compromise on his marriage if the elders force him to do so."

What's the meaning?

Could it be that Qi Wuyu was not forced by his elders to marry the original owner, but he was willing to do so himself?

Indeed, Qi Wuyu's personality is not the kind of person who would compromise when pushed by his elders, especially on a major matter like marriage...

The Qi family owed a favor to the original owner's grandfather, but there are many ways to repay the favor. There is no need to sacrifice the position of the future lady of the Qi family and the happiness of the future head of the Qi family. The original owner and his grandfather depended on each other for survival. Even if they had some wealth, it could not compare with a noble family like the Qi family. If the Qi family was unwilling to nod, it would be useless no matter how much they tried to repay the favor.

Of course, this is based on the assumption that the Qi family and Qi Wuyu are both unscrupulous and untrustworthy people.

The fact is, after interacting with the Qi family, she found that except for a few people, such as Qi Wuyu's second uncle, second aunt and cousin, and those miscellaneous relatives who were not sure how far away they were from each other, Qi Wuyu, Qi Wuyu's parents and sister, and other elders of the Qi family were all very kind to her and did not treat her as an outsider at all.

How could they be heartless and untrustworthy people if they didn't treat her as an outsider and treated her well?

So, did Qi Wuyu marry the original owner...

Forget it, it’s too complicated and I’m too lazy to think about it.

She was so confused in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face. She pretended to be educated and said shyly: "I understand. Thank you, aunt."

Meng Yulan was fooled by her and thought she had successfully assisted him. She was very happy and said, "Why thank me? I was just telling the truth."

Qi Luo did not rush to Qi Wuyu's parents' yard. She waited until eleven o'clock and saw that it was almost time before leaving. Meng Yulan led her, but met someone else halfway through.

"Luoluo!"

Second Aunt Ye Qing came over from the side path.

"Is Luoluo going to visit big brother and sister-in-law in this direction?"

"Yes, this is my first time back to the old house after I was discharged from the hospital. My parents asked me and Brother Wu Yu to go over and have a family meal together. Where are you going, Second Aunt?"

After getting information from Meng Yulan yesterday, Qi Luo already had a general understanding of the layout of the Qi family mansion. From this direction, Ye Qing was most likely going to look for her son Qi Yaoyang.

Meng Yulan greeted: "Second Madam."

"Yulan is here too. Are you sending Luoluo to Big Brother and Big Sister-in-law? Look at me, I'm being stupid. Luoluo doesn't remember anything. She must have forgotten how to get to Big Brother and Big Sister-in-law's yard. She needs someone to lead the way. So, Yulan, go do your thing. I'll send Luoluo to Big Brother and Big Sister-in-law."

Meng Yulan hesitated.

She was obviously not very confident in leaving Qi Luo to Ye Qing.

Worried that Meng Yulan would be troubled by Ye Qing's memory, Qi Luo spoke up at the right time: "Will this be too much trouble for Second Aunt?"

"No, I'm going to look for your second brother Qi. Your second brother Qi is the same. He just plays with his calligraphy and antiques all day long. He works for the company but doesn't do anything for a long time. He leaves everything to his secretary. He doesn't do his job all day long. He often doesn't go home for fear of being scolded. I finally caught him home, and I have to give him a good talk. But there's no rush. Anyway, his grandfather won't let him go out and fool around again for a while, so it's the same if I go look for him later."

It turns out that this is Qi Yaoyang’s personality.

I didn't notice it yesterday.

only……

Qi Luo's smile faded slightly, "Second Aunt, I am the second brother's eldest sister-in-law now. If I continue to call him second brother, it will inevitably confuse the generations."

Ye Qing seemed to have not expected that she would care about this. She was a little surprised and looked at her with a bit of scrutiny. Qi Luo did not dodge or evade, but responded with a calm smile.

"You're right. We can't mess up the generations. It was Second Aunt who neglected it. Alas, it's all your fault for not coming home often. I still haven't gotten used to the fact that you've married Wu Yu. My impression of you is still stuck in your childhood."

"Let's go. I'll take you to your brother and sister-in-law first."

Meng Yulan was still hesitant, so Qi Luo said to her, "Aunt, you go back first."

After Qi Luo spoke, Meng Yulan did not insist any more. She said "Thank you, Second Madam" to Ye Qing and left.

After the extra people left, Ye Qing was no longer so concerned about what she said.

"Luoluo, yesterday at Third Uncle's birthday party, I saw that you and Wu Yu seemed to be getting along well." More than just getting along well, she had been staring at them since the two of them entered. Qi Wu Yu first warned the younger generations for Su Qi Luo, and then took Su Qi Luo to meet the elders. He also asked someone to prepare food for him to eat with Su Qi Luo. Although it was hard to tell how good their relationship was, it was definitely not bad.

Completely different from before.

In the past, Qi Wuyu was distant towards Su Qiluo. Su Qiluo was timid and cowardly and didn't dare to say much in front of Qi Wuyu.

She knew that during Su Qiluo's hospitalization, Qi Wuyu only helped Su Qiluo with the hospitalization procedures at the beginning, and then ran away to Yucheng to film. He ignored Su Qiluo and never visited Su Qiluo again. It was impossible for the two of them to develop feelings for each other during Su Qiluo's hospitalization. The only thing left to happen is that something happened during the few days since Su Qiluo was discharged from the hospital that caused the relationship between the two to warm up.

It seems that Su Qiluo didn't listen to what she said to him! Otherwise, it would be impossible for Su Qiluo to get so close to "her husband with whom she has no emotional foundation" in just a few days!

She originally wanted to find another opportunity to apply eye drops to Su Qiluo in private, but she didn't expect to meet him here. Now that she has come across this opportunity, she will certainly not let it go.

Qi Luo saw all of Ye Qing's little thoughts, but she didn't show them. She pretended to be shy and said, "Second Aunt, did you see it? I'm not afraid of being laughed at by you if I tell you. After losing my memory, I saw Brother Wu Yu again. I-I thought he was very handsome. He was the most handsome person I had ever seen. I-I really wanted to be close to him and couldn't distance myself from him."
