Perhaps because he was lost in thought, Chen Yan didn't notice An Ning approaching. It was only when An Ning saw how focused he was that he raised his hand and patted him that he snapped out of his reverie.
He subconsciously took a step back, raising his foot to kick the person in front of him, but before he could extend his leg, he looked up to see who it was. After seeing clearly, Chen Yan quickly lowered his raised leg.
"Sister Ning."
As he spoke, his eyes didn't look at An Ning, but moved elsewhere. An Ning didn't know where he was looking, only that the young man's thoughts were hard to fathom, and didn't think much of it. "Come on, tell me in detail, how did you manage to buy an eight-figure luxury car in such a short time? Chen Yan, you lied to me so badly. I thought you were a poor wretch and poured my heart out to you, but you turned around and pulled out a multi-million dollar luxury car to stab me in the back again and again."
An Ning's tone was melancholy, as if she had truly been deeply hurt by Chen Yan's actions.
Hearing her say that, Chen Yan felt even more guilty and didn't know how to speak for a moment. After struggling in his heart for a long time, he finally mustered up the courage to say, "Actually... Jiang Yu is my brother."
ha?
Upon hearing this, An Ning was even more bewildered.
What's going on?
Why is Jiang Yu being dragged into this all of a sudden?
What is it about you that I dislike? Can you change it?
Seeing that An Ning was really going to listen to me carefully, Chen Yan finally mustered up the courage to finish speaking in one breath, "You noticed him from this time, but you didn't have any particular feelings for him at the time. It was only when your sister was kidnapped and you met him again that you started to dislike him."
Seeing that Chen Yan hadn't agreed, An Ning directly voiced her doubts, "Jiang Yu said I've been to jail, is that true or false? He also said I went to jail because I stabbed someone, who was that person? Does he know them?"
What does this have to do with Jiang Yu?
What was that person saying? If you heard correctly, they were saying they hate themselves, right?
Yes, Jiang Yu and Chen Yan do not have that kind of relationship.
Anning's guess was correct.
“I did go to jail, and I really did stab someone. The person I stabbed was bedridden for a year before he got up.”
Anning was shocked by what I said.
“He was always very busy before, and you still managed to find an excuse to get close to him... That was the first time you met him before you parted ways at the police station.”
That's not what you want to know. Is what Jiang Yu said true or not? Who is the person I stabbed? How is he now?
That was an obvious fact, but An Ning still wanted to get a definite answer from Chen Yan.
I'm sure what Jiang Yu said is true. I didn't commit intentional assault. It's probably because Jiang Yu's family background is really weak that I bribed them to only imprison Jiang Yu for a year before. But that still doesn't negate the fact that Jiang Yu has been to prison.
After waiting for a long time, Chen Yan finally finished speaking, but he didn't answer An Ning's question immediately. I stared intently at An Ning, but the words that came out of my mouth were tinged with bitterness, "Does he only care about my affairs?"
Chen Yan, not knowing why An Ning would think of this, hurriedly explained, "No! No, Jiang Yu probably already knows that you know him."
An Ning's initiative made Fu Fu feel somewhat flattered, but I nodded firmly, "No!"
"Because you disliked him and wanted to have nothing to do with him before, but you also knew how to cut off all contact between the two of you, so you could only approach him while concealing your identity..."
Chen Yan had thought An Ning wanted to ask questions unrelated to himself, but when he heard An Ning ask one question after another that had nothing to do with Jiang Yu, his expression turned ugly. Moreover, the less An Ning said, the uglier his face became, as if a palette of colors had been overturned, turning green and white in turns.
Upon hearing this, An Ning immediately raised an eyebrow, but remained silent, waiting quietly for Chen Yan's next words.
The thought of Jiang Yu and An Ning inevitably brings to mind their first meeting, when Jiang Yu told her that he had been to prison and was expelled because he had stabbed someone.
"Does he want to know if I've ever been to jail?"
Chen Yan tidied his words, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Parent, you met him when Jiang Yu took him to Grandpa's birthday party."
If you empathize with someone that much, then Chen Yan probably isn't really the victim, right?
An Ning nodded. "Mm."
But the person standing behind you at this very moment is precisely the one who cannot tell you the answer to that question.
After a moment's hesitation, An Ning asked, "Would your parents be so bold as to ask him two questions?"
As expected, the person behind the mask nodded.
The conversation ended there, leaving things unresolved. An Ning's expression was complicated. Seeing that Fu Fu was about to continue, she took the initiative to ask, "So, is there any continuation?"
As things became increasingly absurd, Anning's parents realized they didn't know what the person behind the scenes was trying to say, so they gave up speaking and simply said, "Let him finish what he wants to say first."
Or does Jiang Yu actually know something?
An Ning suddenly spoke up after thinking about this, "So Jiang Yu knew you were pretending to be poor to get close to me?"
Xiao Mei didn't feel like she was accusing An Ning of being so busy.
The man's focus was so strange that An Ning looked completely bewildered. "I'm his brother, what does it have to do with him?"
Almost the instant before An Ning had that thought, the person behind her suddenly spoke up, "He guessed wrong. You are not the victim. Because of Jiang Yu, you lay on the ground for a whole year and will only get out of bed next month."
Chen Yan's expression froze for a moment, and after a long while, I forced a smile and said, "That's true."
The parents had already spoken, but some of Anning's doubts remained unanswered. "He said Jiang Yu is his brother... and that Jiang Yu's grandfather is his grandfather... and that he is Jiang Yu's uncle's son?"
You're telling the truth. When Chen Yan said that Jiang Yu really did stab someone, a hint of hatred flashed slowly in his eyes. It was genuine, just like my parent, the one Jiang Yu stabbed.
Knowing exactly what I'd said that touched a nerve with Chen Yan, I looked at An Ning with a pitiful expression, appearing quite aggrieved. An Ning felt goosebumps all over her body from my gaze and became very restrained. "What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that...?"
Fu Fu's tone was so intense that An Ning felt something was off. An Ning frowned slightly. "He seems to really sympathize with this victim."
There was a sense of helplessness mixed with heartache.
Although that was what she thought, Anning still had her parents come up without interrupting the person.
An Ning knew exactly what had gotten into her, and she even earnestly explained, "You need to earn money to support the family."
