Fu Jiusi looked into her eyes and said "hmm" softly.
Hua Qi looked at him in disbelief, "Are you really... my brother?"
Fu Jiusi sighed slightly, "I cherish the identity of Hua Yue very much, and I am willing to hear you call me brother, but I really don't want you to think of me as a brother."
Hua Qi slowly shook her head, her eyes filled with tears, and she shook off his hand and ran out of the house.
Fu Jiusi stood there, staring at the gate in a daze.
Wen Lan stood up and wanted to chase after him, but Sister Yan held her back and shook her head.
"Xiao Lan, don't worry, Xiao Qi will be fine."
Xiao Qianxing took a sip of pure Laobanzhang, smacked his lips, and said gloatingly, "Serves him right!"
"You can't just have a sweet relationship, but you have to use a pseudonym. Now you've ruined it, right?"
Sister Yan poked her forehead and said, "Speak less."
"Ayue, come with me," Sister Yan walked to Fu Jiusi, took his arm and walked out of the yard.
"You are Hua Yue. Xiao Qi will probably be able to accept this in a few days."
"But, uncle and aunt, are you going to tell her why grandma was killed?"
The muscles on Fu Jiusi's face twitched slightly, and his fists clenched so tightly that they made a crackling sound. "This is a secret, and you must never tell it."
Sister Yan sighed heavily, "But Xiaoqi has been investigating."
"Zuo Chuan and Pei Qi are also investigating. Sooner or later, they will find out that the mastermind behind this is Wan Nuo's biological father, our half-brother."
"I can't imagine what kind of blow Xiaoqi will feel when she finds out."
"She's going to hate us, what are we going to do?"
Fu Jiusi said, "Before Pei Qi was transferred from the imperial capital, I arranged a meeting between him and Zuo Chuan."
"That afternoon, I handed over all the criminal evidence involving the Wan family and Wansheng Group to them."
"I also told them not to let Qibao know."
"Zuo Chuan and Pei Qi both love their junior sister, Chong Qibao, so they won't tell anyone."
"That's good," Sister Yan said, her heart still rising. "Xiao Qi will definitely want an answer. How are you going to get around it?"
Fu Jiusi frowned, "Not every criminal case has a mastermind."
"When my parents died, the suspects had already been brought to justice. They were the ones who committed the murder, and they received the punishment they deserved."
"As for the mastermind behind this, Qibao has no evidence and relies solely on his own guesswork."
"Just tell her that there's no one behind this, and then find an opportunity to restore her parents' reputation, and she'll be able to let go of the knot in her heart."
Sister Yan's eyes were filled with tears as she sighed deeply, "Isn't it unfair to Xiaoqi if we do this?"
Fu Jiusi's frown deepened.
"This cruel fact, in our hearts, is an unspeakable secret; in her heart, it is hatred that destroys her life."
"It's worth it to tell her a white lie in exchange for her peace for the rest of her life."
"Alright," Sister Yan patted his shoulder, "Go and bring her back quickly. It's getting dark, and it's not safe for her to be out there alone."
Fu Jiusi turned around and walked into the yard.
"She would go to Pei Qi. When she encountered something that tested her mental state, she would usually ask Pei Qi for advice."
"I greeted Zuo Chuan in advance. This afternoon, when Qibao and I entered the village, he was at the entrance of the village supermarket, eating sunflower seeds and chatting with the old ladies in the village."
At this time, Hua Qi staggered to the village entrance in a trance.
Zuo Chuan stood up and waved hello to her.
She saw it with her eyes, but it didn't cross her mind.
He just walked straight past Zuo Chuan.
Zuo Chuan caught up with her and looked at her from the side. "Xiao Qi, from the look of you, do you know the whole story of the case?"
