study.
Shen Luo sat in the chair and pushed the information she had found in front of Ji Hanchen.
"Xiaoyun asked me to look this up. Liu Jing used to work as an obstetrics nurse at Baijia Hospital. Her last surgery was for your aunt, Ji Yaxuan. But she quit her job and stayed home after that surgery."
"Although she hasn't worked all these years, she has lived a very wealthy life, even enough to support her idle husband."
“I checked her bank account and there were no large deposits.”
"But she would go to Longyun Temple to burn incense every year, and then she would suddenly become rich, as if a pie had fallen from the sky."
"Coincidentally, Bai Shuze also goes to Longyun Temple every year."
At this point, Shen Luo paused, pointed to the photo in the document, and said, "Bai Shuze has a daughter, did you know that?"
Ji Hanchen immediately narrowed his eyes, "Bai Ruiting's sister?"
"Yes, but the child is in poor health, so Bai Shuze takes his daughter there every year to offer incense and pray for her. By the way, if this girl were alive, she would be 27 years old this year."
boom!
Ji Hanchen immediately felt as if he had been hit on the head with a blunt object, and a feeling of suffocation instantly surged into his heart!
If he's alive?! That means he's already dead?!
At twenty-seven years old, exactly the same age as Huo Yan, and being Bai Shuze's daughter, it was hard not to suspect that this girl was Huo Yan's twin sister!
Shen Luo noticed Ji Hanchen's unusual behavior, but continued, "Bai Shuze opens a bank account every year and deposits one million. He withdraws the money a week later and then cancels the account."
"I deduce that the money was for Liu Jing, and it was withdrawn after Liu Jing and her group visited Longyun Temple."
Ji Hanchen gritted his teeth, "Have you investigated Bai Shuze's daughter?"
Shen Luo paused for a moment, then nodded and said, "Because he has passed away, we haven't been able to find out yet. Please give me some more time."
Ji Hanchen pursed his thin lips, and after a long while, he said in a deep voice, "Thanks."
Shen Luo hummed in response, her mood extremely somber.
At that moment, there was a knock on the study door, and Xu Qingyun pushed it open.
She glanced at the two men and asked in a cool tone, "Brother Chen, are you staying for dinner tonight?"
Shen Luo stood up. "No, I want to take Chu Chu to see the snow."
Xu Qingyun was slightly surprised, but after thinking for a moment, she still asked, "Brother Chen, have you turned over a new leaf?"
Shen Luo stiffened, his handsome face turning slightly pale. "Do you think... I still have a chance?"
Xu Qingyun shook her head, "You're such a jerk."
Shen Luo's face was completely drained of color, and her eyes were filled with pain and guilt.
He was truly a terrible person towards Xia Chu. Only after losing her did he realize that Xia Chu's shadow was everywhere in his life.
Ji Hanchen patted Shen Luo on the shoulder, "Xia Chu is waiting for you."
Shen Luo finally snapped out of her daze, stiffly turned around, and met Xia Chu's calm eyes. Her heart ached uncontrollably.
He strode over, helped her get dressed, and took her hand as they left.
Xia Chu did not refuse; she just wanted to see what Shen Luo could do for her.
Perhaps his willingness to cooperate with Shen Luo's requests for a divorce and his lack of objection to her request for an abortion were merely strategic retreats; he actually wanted to keep the child.
Then she would see just how far Shen Luo was willing to go to keep this child.
Even after Shen Luo and Xia Chu left, Xu Qingyun hadn't looked away.
"What are you thinking about?" Ji Hanchen hugged Xu Qingyun from behind, gently resting his chin on her shoulder.
Xu Qingyun asked in a calm tone, "Isn't what Xia Chu and Shen Luo are doing a form of mutual torment?"
"It's because of love that I'm tormented; otherwise, I would have divorced long ago. Why would I still be entangled in this mess?"
Ji Hanchen snorted lightly, not to speak up for Shen Luo, but simply to state the facts.
Lu Chuan had long seen through Shen Luo and had said more than once that Shen Luo had fallen for Xia Chu, but Shen Luo stubbornly refused to admit it and continued to trample on Xia Chu's love for him. Now that things have turned out this way, who can he blame?
Xu Qingyun gathered her thoughts, "Did you find Liu Jing?"
"Um."
Ji Hanchen handed the documents to Xu Qingyun.
After reading it carefully, Xu Qingyun's face turned icy.
"It really was Liu Jing! Chu Chu's birthday was the day before my brother's, but if Liu Jing had just given birth to Chu Chu at that time, how could she have attended my mother's surgery?!"
Ji Hanchen asked, "You suspect that Xia Chu is your sister?"
Xu Qingyun nodded, "My intuition tells me that Xia Chu must be my sister."
Ji Hanchen frowned, "But she doesn't resemble Huo Yan at all."
Xu Qingyun hesitated for a moment before speaking: "Dragon and phoenix twins are not as similar as twins, and no one would have thought that my mother gave birth to a daughter at the same time as Huo Yan, so naturally no one would make that connection."
Ji Hanchen, however, thought the exact opposite of Xu Qingyun.
He believed that Bai Shuze's dead daughter was Yunyun's older sister!
Ji Yaxuan only trusts Bai Shuze. If Huo Yan's twin sister is Ji Yaxuan's trump card, she will definitely entrust her to the person she trusts most to feel at ease.
But Ji Hanchen couldn't bear to hurt Xu Qingyun's feelings, so he didn't say anything more.
Xu Qingyun, however, sensed Ji Hanchen's disapproval. "Do you think I'm overthinking it?"
Ji Hanchen gave an irrelevant answer, "Wouldn't we know if we just did a test?"
“Yes.” Xu Qingyun nodded. “I took Sister Chu Chu’s sample.”
Ji Hanchen immediately made arrangements, "I'll have Lu Chuan handle it, find a reliable agency, and not let Bai Ruiting take over."
When Bai Ruiting was mentioned, Xu Qingyun pursed her lips.
After all, they used to be good friends with Ji Hanchen, but now they have completely drifted apart. Although neither of them has confessed their feelings, it is certain that their relationship can never go back to what it was before.
"I'm going to find Lu Chuan. Stay home and wait for me." After saying that, Ji Hanchen leaned down and kissed Xu Qingyun's lips.
The kiss was long and drawn out, until both of them were breathing heavily, their hearts were pounding, and their bodies were ablaze with passion.
But just as things were about to get out of control, Ji Hanchen suddenly released Xu Qingyun and took several steps back.
His handsome face was flushed, his sexy thin lips were swollen and red from being sucked and bitten by the girl's pearly teeth, and there was still a burning passion in his eyes.
Xu Qingyun felt a tightness in her chest, and a surge of painful emotions quickly exploded within her.
**
Two days later, Lu Chuan got the results.
"Old Ji, I really didn't expect that Yunyun actually has an older sister?"
Ji Hanchen's pupils dilated. "You mean Xia Chuzhen is Yunyun's older sister?"
Lu Chuan shook his head. "She isn't."
Ji Hanchen's heart sank to the bottom.
really!
Yunyun's older sister is dead!
But at that moment, Lu Chuan hesitated and said, "However..."
"But what?!" Ji Hanchen immediately pressed, practically wanting to strangle Lu Chuan. He was speaking breathlessly, as if trying to drive someone crazy!
