"You know it involves Grandma? But deep down you just don't think Nanxing would do such a thing, right?"
"I didn't say that, I just need time to verify it."
“You didn’t say it that way, but that’s what you thought.”
Duan Ye was so angry he laughed.
This was the first time he and Luo Qingyuan had argued, and neither of them would listen to the other.
Yes, Luo Qingyuan suspects Nanxing. Although he doesn't entirely agree with him, he's not biased towards Nanxing either, is he? He said he would investigate, and if it turns out to be related to Nanxing, he will make the right choice.
"Luo Qingyuan, I know you have a lot on your mind, and I'm trying my best to understand. You mentioned Nanxing, okay, I'll investigate, but won't the investigation process take time?"
"While you're investigating, shouldn't you also tell your parents to keep their distance from Nanxing?"
Duan Ye: "My parents treat Nanxing like their own daughter, and besides, Nanxing doesn't come home often..."
"But she clearly replied several times in just the last two days."
Duan Ye frowned: "You sent someone to follow me?"
"Do we need to follow her? Nanxing is a big star, where can't she be followed by paparazzi?"
“I don’t think we should involve my parents in our affairs. Even if you have a problem with her, does that mean my parents should cut off all contact with her?”
"Was she at her own home or yours the other day?"
Duan Ye was speechless for a moment, but still answered honestly, "My home."
"As you know, my family and her family live on different floors. We've been neighbors for many years, but I only stay in the guest room. I've hardly ever spoken to her."
"Don't you really think your family's relationship with Nanxing is too close?"
"Luo Qingyuan, what's wrong with you today? Don't you think you're focusing on the wrong thing right now?"
"Who's in the wrong? You've never argued with me before, but this is the first time we've argued so fiercely about Nanxing. Every word you say is in her defense. Just because she's your neighbor doesn't mean she should live in your house. Do you really believe her that much?"
For a moment, Duan Ye couldn't understand Luo Qingyuan's hatred for Nanxing...
Luo Qingyuan took a deep breath to suppress her somewhat out-of-control questioning.
She backed down, but what about Duan Ye? Deep down, Duan Ye still clearly favors Nan Xing.
Seeing that Luo Qingyuan stopped talking, Duan Ye didn't say anything more either; his mind was in a mess.
They can't continue like this; the situation will only escalate.
He tucked the blanket around Luo Qingyuan and said, "I suspect there are surveillance cameras in the house, I need to go home."
Before leaving, he looked at Luo Qingyuan and said, "I will take your words to heart. I also care about Grandma's matter, and I will not be perfunctory."
"Besides, you should have told me from the beginning instead of just walking away."
"I will not remain indifferent."
"You always feel that I don't trust you, and you haven't trusted me in this matter either, have you?"
Luo Qingyuan: "Then answer me, do you believe she used Ye Nuan to hurt Grandma?"
Duan Ye: "..."
"I said I would investigate."
He had disliked Nanxing for a long time, but he didn't believe Nanxing could be so vicious. Besides, why would she do such a thing? What was her motive?
And so, Duan Ye left, asking Aunt Zhang to come and take care of him before he left.
Luo Qingyuan lay on the bed, unable to come back to her senses for a long time, looking somewhat tired.
Although Duan Ye didn't say it, she knew in her heart that Duan Ye still didn't want to believe that Nan Xing was the one who did it...
But in reality, she didn't have any evidence. When Liu Yan investigated back then, he only found a little bit...
Luo Qingyuan lost her appetite and picked up her laptop again.
Nine o'clock in the evening.
Duan Ye returned home.
Duan Sheng and Ding Yifen hadn't returned yet, so he searched the house thoroughly, inside and out, for more than two hours, but even at 11:30, he still couldn't find any cameras.
This left Duan Ye completely baffled.
Soon, Duan Sheng and Ding Yifen returned.
Duan Sheng: "Son, what are you looking for?"
Duan Ye: "Mom and Dad, do you remember when I came home for a meal last January?"
Ding Yifen: "I remember, didn't you leave right after dinner? What happened?"
Have you told anyone that I'm back?
Duan Sheng and Ding Yifen thought about it carefully.
The three people sat down on the sofa.
Ding Yifen: "Later, after the New Year, I did talk to your Uncle Nan about it."
After the New Year? Then the timing doesn't match up.
"Nobody said anything that day?"
Duan Sheng: "Yeah, didn't you say you were just coming back for a meal and didn't need to make a big fuss? Even your brother didn't know you were back."
Duan Ye found it even stranger: "Wasn't Uncle Nan in Kyoto at that time?"
Ding Yifen: They're not here. The three of them went back to their hometown.
Duan Ye grasped the key point: "Nanxing went back too?"
Ding Yifen: "Yes, I went back. Later, I even went to my hometown to visit your grandfather for a few days. Why are you asking this?"
Duan Ye breathed a sigh of relief. Since Nanxing's family had all gone back, it had nothing to do with Nanxing anymore.
He still needs to find the original gravedigger as soon as possible in order to figure out what happened.
Duan Ye did not remain idle and wait for his fate. Instead, he said goodbye to his parents and left again.
But before leaving, Duan Ye still said, "Mom and Dad, you should treat Nanxing less like family in the future. After all, she's not related by blood, is she?"
Duan Sheng and Ding Yifen exchanged a glance: "Why is this child behaving so strangely today?"
