Song Mian seemed not to have heard Quan Feng's question, and continued reciting the contents of the email: "At 11:55 a.m. on March 25, an anonymous Ms. M also sent an email to Quan He. That night, Quan He and this anonymous Ms. M chatted until 3 a.m. Afterwards, Ms. M provided Mr. Quan He, whose research had made no progress, with research directions on heart disease drugs."
Quan He stared blankly at Song Mian, then immediately opened his phone's email to confirm the date and time Song Mian had mentioned.
As it turned out, Song Mian was absolutely right; the timing was perfect, and even the direction of his conversation with Miss M was correct.
"How did you know? That's impossible!" Quan He questioned, a sudden wave of panic washing over him.
"Second brother, don't worry, all of this... I told Song Mian, that's why she knows so much detail." Quan Yanyan lied subconsciously, and even after saying this, she couldn't believe her own lie.
“Alright, since you say you told me, then I now know the exact time when Miss M first contacted Quan Zeyu, and the specific content of the emails they sent. Quan Yanyan, if you can recite all of this now, I'll admit that you told me all of this,” Song Mian said unhurriedly.
Quan Yanyan was speechless for a moment, her face turning pale and then flushed. After struggling for a while, she finally said, "That was three years ago. My brothers and I sent so many emails, and the content was so trivial. How could I possibly remember them all so clearly?"
“But Quan Zhi remembers everything.” Song Mian’s words successfully silenced everyone present.
"Quan Zhi not only remembered them, but she also treasured the contents of each email. She took screenshots of all the emails, printed them out, and pasted them into her diary. Although she was not the biological daughter of the Quan family, she always remembered the three brothers who had accompanied her for eight years."
Unfortunately, ever since her three older brothers found out she wasn't the real daughter of the Quan family, they've become distant from her. She was very sad, so she could only write these emails to try and communicate with her brothers by helping them.
Every conversation with her three older brothers filled her with unbelievable joy. Sadly, her brothers were unaware that the benefactor they desperately wanted to see online was actually always by their side, someone they scorned!
"You're lying! You must be lying! Miss M is clearly Yan Yan, my sister!" Quan Zeyu shouted, his face pale.
Song Mian remained calm, opened one of the diaries, and began to read carefully: "March 29th, sunny. My third brother has always been the one who dislikes me the most out of the three brothers in the family. So I spent a long time mentally preparing myself before finally mustering the courage to contact him. Unlike my attitude towards the other three brothers, I was very playful with my third brother. At that time, he had just broken up with his girlfriend, so I used this to comfort him and close the distance between us..."
"Shut up...shut up! Everything you're saying is something I did! Three years ago, when Third Brother was heartbroken, it was clearly me who sent him the email to comfort him!" Quan Yanyan rushed to Quan Zeyu's side, forcing a smile. "Third Brother, you have to believe me, Miss M really is me!"
Quan Zeyu reached out and grabbed Quan Yanyan's arm.
“Third Brother…!” Quan Yanyan excitedly raised her head, and then met Quan Zeyu’s eyes, which were filled with coldness.
Quan Zeyu's voice was so cold it was almost freezing: "I wasn't heartbroken at the time, and my first topic with Ms. M wasn't heartbreak either!"
"Oh dear, I'm so sorry, I misjudged you. The first topic Quan Zhi wrote about talking to Quan Zeyu in her diary was about Quan Zeyu's favorite basketball player, not about being heartbroken or not."
Song Mian chuckled and closed her diary, raising an eyebrow at Quan Yanyan and asking, "Miss Quan Yanyan, you can't even remember the topic of your first conversation with your third brother? How did you come up with the idea of developing Q10 heart medication?"
"I...I..." Quan Yanyan was so anxious she was about to cry. She could feel everyone's eyes on her.
Those were eyes full of suspicion and inquiry, like sharp needles piercing her, leaving her bewildered.
"Everything I said is true! Big brother, second brother, third brother! Others may not believe me, but you should believe me! I am your own sister, you can't not believe me!" Quan Yanyan said, choking with sobs.
But the three Quan brothers seemed not to see Quan Yanyan, and they all moved closer to Song Mian.
"Let me see Quan Zhi's diary. I don't believe it, I don't believe it..." Quan He said, reaching out to Song Mian.
A look of resistance flashed in Song Mian's eyes, and she wanted to back away from Quan He.
"Young boss, don't get entangled with them anymore, let them go." Quan Zhi silently watched her third brother's heartbroken expression.
She was surprisingly calm, and suddenly felt that what happened to these three people next was no longer her concern.
All she wanted was to reveal the truth to the world; she didn't seem to care much about the reactions of those she used to care about.
Seeing Quan Zhi's relieved expression, Song Mian didn't dwell on it. She silently stepped back and handed the diary to the three brothers.
Quan Feng, Quan He, and Quan Zeyu quickly opened the diary.
Quan Zhi started writing a diary when she was eight years old.
Her grievances and heartache were all recorded in their entirety.
The three brothers watched all this silently, deeply shocked by the contents of the diary.
Even just by looking through some of them, they could clearly feel Quan Zhi's despair and helplessness back then.
What exactly did they do to Quan Zhi?
"Young boss, let's go back." Quan Zhi said, as the illusory ghostly figure gently brushed past the three brothers.
Quan Feng clearly felt a cold wind pass by him. Suddenly, he thought of something and hurriedly looked at Song Mian: "You can see ghosts, right? Then is Xiao Zhi right next to you now?"
"So what if it is?" Song Mian had really lost patience with these men.
However, she was no match for these men on her own, and after they blocked her way, she could only stand there obediently.
"Xiao Zhi, it was your brother's fault!" Quan Feng looked helplessly at the air around him, his hands trembling with emotion. "Your brother didn't know you had suffered so much, your brother really didn't know...! Please, brother, forgive your brother, okay?"
Quan He held the diary in his hands, which was covered with his chat history with Quan Zhi: "So you're the one who's been helping me all along... Quan Zhi, why didn't you tell me? Why?"
“Quan Zhi said it herself. When Quan Yanyan plagiarized her paper, she clearly told you that the paper was written by her. It’s just that you didn’t want to believe Quan Zhi.” Song Mian looked at the ugly faces of the three Quan brothers, her eyes extremely calm.
In her opinion, the three Quan brothers were not worthy of any sympathy.
"Please, let us see Quan Zhi!" Quan Zeyu grabbed Song Mian's arm tightly, his eyes red with emotion. "I want to see her and apologize to her in person!"
Song Mian shook off Quan Zeyu's arm and looked at Quan Zhi in front of her.
