Chapter 246 A Word to Awaken a Dreamer
Ji Moliang took Cen Yan home.
Only when they reached the door did they realize that their behavior had been too licentious, and they quickly let go of Cen Yan's hand.
"I'm so sorry, I was in such a hurry I didn't notice, did I hurt you?"
Ji Mo Liang inquired.
Cen Yan remained silent.
Ji Moliang sighed. Actually, if it were her, she would also feel uncomfortable and wouldn't want to talk.
He really didn't expect that Cen Yan and Shan Xianxian were both enemies and relatives, half-sisters.
That makes sense. There are bound to be a lot of conflicts between half-siblings, but that's no excuse for Shan Xianxian to steal Cen Yan's things. It's really too much!
"Your not-so-close sister doesn't look alike at all. I thought you two were just enemies."
Ji Moliang tried to make conversation, attempting to comfort her in this way.
"It's good that I don't look like one, at least I won't be recognized on the street and lose face, hehehe..."
"What did you say?"
"It's embarrassing to walk on the main road." Upon suddenly hearing Cen Yan's question, Ji Moliang felt a little embarrassed. He shouldn't have said anything wrong, right?
"The previous sentence."
"Does he look anything like you?" Ji Moliang asked tentatively.
Cen Yan pursed her lips. She had been obsessing over why her father didn't love her.
They are both his daughters, so why is Shan Jianshe able to open his heart and give everything to Shan Xianxian?
But when facing her, he was hypocritical and cold as if she were an enemy. In his past life, he even pushed her into a pit of fire like Hu Zhiwei's. She went through a lot of trouble to find him in Hong Kong, only to be sent back to Hu Family Village and buried alive...
Even the most indifferent and ruthless father couldn't do something so cruel and heartless.
A single sentence from Ji Moliang today was truly enlightening for her.
If Shan Jianshe is not her biological father, then everything makes sense!
Cen Yan couldn't help but touch her cheek. Over the years, the neighbors had all said that she looked like her mother.
But even if she resembles her mother, surely she doesn't bear any resemblance to Shan Jianshe or Shan Xianxian?
Unless, of course, her father is someone else.
The moment this thought entered Cen Yan's mind, it surged wildly, making her breath quicken.
"Ji Moliang, thank you. Once I verify the truth, I'll give you a big reward and I'll definitely treat you to a meal then!"
What? How come I'm being credited with such a great service? Ji Moliang was a little confused, wondering how he had helped Cen Yan.
By the time he came to his senses, Cen Yan's figure had already disappeared from sight. He belatedly stomped his foot in realization.
"Cen Yan! You're lying! You haven't even had a contest with me to identify medicinal herbs, how could you run away like that!"
He quickly chased after him, but couldn't find him. In the end, he could only wait at the entrance of the guesthouse.
But instead of Cen Yan, a sack was put over his head, and he immediately fainted and was dragged into the alley.
After being reminded by Ji Moliang, Cen Yan couldn't help but begin to doubt her own background.
The first thing she did after leaving her home in Jimo was go to the post office, racking her brains to remember the phone numbers of those "old acquaintances" in Shanghai.
But given her current situation, there were only a limited number of people she could contact. After much deliberation, she reluctantly dialed one of the numbers, despite feeling nauseous.
Shanghai Stock Exchange.
The man was surprised that Cen Yan would call him.
"It's you?"
He was still seething with anger after his attempt to visit the Cen family home failed, and Cen Yan was forced to marry and run away with the army. Now, this woman actually dared to call his workplace.
"Yes, it's me." Cen Yan smiled faintly. "Interested in making a deal, Captain Li?"
