Chapter 208 It's all my fault, Mo Ziyuan's identity is exposed.
Soon, the servants began setting out breakfast, the soft clinking of cutlery particularly clear in the living room in the early morning.
As soon as Aunt Zhang entered the kitchen, she saw Lin Yi'an standing by the stove, his brows slightly furrowed, as if he were pondering something.
"Young Master An," Aunt Zhang called softly.
Lin Yi'an snapped out of his daze and quickly asked.
"Aunt Zhang, I remember Zhi Xia and Zhi Qiu, weren't they found by Zi Yuan?"
"Yes," Aunt Zhang nodded, noticing the odd tone in his voice, and pressed further, "What's wrong? Did something happen?"
"No, it's nothing." Lin Yi'an came back to his senses, gave a faint smile, and ladled the thick soup from the casserole into a white porcelain bowl. "Aunt Zhang, could you please take the soup to the table? I'm going to check on my sister."
When he arrived at the little girl's door, Lin Yi'an didn't go in. He just stood there. He deliberately lowered his footsteps when he came. Mo Ziyuan might or might not hear him. It all depended on what he was doing.
The door was opened and then quickly closed. He was the older brother, and his younger sister was a girl; this wasn't right. But in that instant, he still saw it. He saw Mo Ziyuan taking the lead. The little girl must have been too tired, because she was whimpering and trying to grab him.
He didn't want to stay here anymore; he wanted to find Jing Sheng.
Shi Jingsheng was still catching up on sleep. He had been busy cleaning the pharmacy until the early hours of the morning last night, and had only dozed off for a short while when he heard a noise at the door. He knew without a doubt that it was Lin Yi'an, but the other man just stood there motionless, and his silent aura seeped in through the door, making him completely awake.
He sat up abruptly, meeting the gaze of the man in the doorway. Lin Yi'an's face was expressionless, but his eyes were as dark as rain-laden clouds, clearly harboring a burning anger.
"What's wrong? Who upset our young master An?" Shi Jingsheng rubbed his temples, trying to ease the atmosphere with teasing.
Lin Yi'an didn't reply, but walked straight to the bedside and sat down, staring sharply at him.
"Jing Sheng, are you hiding something from me?"
Shi Jingsheng's heart skipped a beat, and a thin layer of sweat instantly broke out on his back. He knew? Impossible... "Yi An, everyone has their little secrets." He tried to remain calm and laughed it off.
"Your little secret?" Lin Yi'an raised an eyebrow, his tone carrying an undeniable certainty. "It's a little secret that you and Ziyuan share, isn't it?"
Shi Jingsheng was genuinely scared; what if they had really been discovered?
"What...what's the secret you're talking about?"
"So you really have it?" Lin Yi'an's expression became even more serious.
Shi Jingsheng swallowed hard, not daring to make any wild guesses.
"Yi'an, what secret are you referring to?"
Lin Yi'an sat at the foot of the bed and just looked at him.
"I saw Zhixia this morning. Zhixia is Ziyuan's person, right? She has no sense of touch. Did you know that?"
“I…I know.”
"Why does Zhixia have no sense of touch? It's because of the medicine you developed, right? You told me about it when you developed this medicine last time."
He really shot himself in the foot. Why did he say that in the first place? Seriously.
"Yi'an, I don't know how to explain this to you."
Seeing Shi Jingsheng's growing anxiety, Lin Yi'an continued.
"I don't need you to explain to me, you just need to tell the truth."
"Would you believe me if I said Zhixia drank it by mistake?" He said this with a hint of probing, and Lin Yi'an looked at him with an expression that seemed to say, "Do you believe me?"
"I prefer to believe that you brought Zhixia in to test your medicine to see if it would work."
That's such a reasonable explanation, why didn't he think of it?
"Then that's who I am. I just want to find Zhixia to test the medicine."
"Shi Jingsheng! Stop messing around and tell me why. Is it because Zhixia is taking care of my sister?"
"Then I guess if that's the case, Zhi Qiu has a sense of touch. One of them has to have a sense of touch, after all, given Zi Yuan's possessiveness, Zhi Xia can touch Yi Luo freely since she doesn't have a sense of touch, and Zhi Qiu's sense of touch makes up for that deficiency."
Shi Jingsheng was completely speechless. Having grown up together, Lin Yi'an knew them all too well. He opened his mouth, but could only mumble, "I... I guess that's how it is."
"Don't talk to me about right or wrong. That's 100% how it is. So why? I need to know the reason. My sister hadn't been in the Mo family for very long, right? Could that sleazy Mo Ziyuan have already taken a liking to my sister back then?"
Lin Yi'an spoke through gritted teeth, wishing he could drag Mo Ziyuan over and beat him up right now.
"I really don't know. You know he never tells the two of us anything."
"He didn't tell us? That can't be right. I remember he used to like a girl and insisted on marrying her. We haven't seen them in contact lately. Given Ziyuan's personality, how could he give up?"
He was still staring into Shi Jingsheng's eyes. Shi Jingsheng was just a child who had just woken up. How could he be attacked so suddenly?
"It's possible that they might break up because of relationship problems, right?"
"A rift in their relationship? Ha! That's not like Mo Ziyuan at all. How could two people he's set his sights on have a rift in their relationship? He's probably trying to fool you to death!"
The thought that he might have lied to his sister Lin Yi'an made him angry, and he grabbed Shi Jingsheng by the collar and questioned him fiercely.
"Tell me, did Mo Ziyuan lie to my baby?"
"No, I don't know that, but we all know Ziyuan. You know Ziyuan is your brother and Yiluo is your sister. He would definitely only spoil her, how could he lie to her?"
It's precisely because he understands her so well that he's so talented. He knows better than anyone what kind of person Ziyuan is. How could he not know that Mo Ziyuan is not worthy of his own sister?
If Mo Ziyuan hadn't lost his memory, he really wanted to grab him and give him a good beating, to give this despicable person a good talking to. He was unworthy of his sister, and he couldn't possibly be worthy of her.
That damn man! He was furious, truly furious. He blamed himself for being so pathetic, but why hadn't he thought to buy a house? Why did he have to live here with him? Why did he even think of having him pick up his sister? Thinking about what he'd done before made him angry. He couldn't take it anymore. He was moving out right now! That damn man! That annoying Mo Ziyuan, that annoying Shi Jingsheng! He hated them all! Ughh ...
Seeing Lin Yi'an becoming increasingly distraught, Shi Jingsheng tried his best to minimize his presence. He didn't dare to say a word. It was all Mo Ziyuan's fault; why did he have to bear Shi Jingsheng's wrath when it had nothing to do with him at all?
