Chapter 88
Compared to the boy whose expression changed rapidly, the young man maintained a barely perceptible smile.
The poor kidnapped boy, the last time I saw him, he was like a lifeless, exquisite wooden puppet, utterly devoid of life.
Now it has become vibrant, colorful, and radiant.
"Um, that..." Jiang You's forehead was covered in a fine sweat. She stammered and hesitated for a long time, but couldn't get a single word out.
Xia Bei withdrew his gaze and looked at the girl who seemed honest and upright, but who seemed to be hiding many secrets.
He thought about the touch between Song Yun and the girl just now, and couldn't help but sigh that Song Yun was really lucky that the kidnappers back then hadn't killed him.
"You're Song Yun, the son of the Song family?" Xia Bei's smile remained warm and friendly, but his tone was extremely harsh. "Weren't you sent abroad because your condition worsened? Are you near death and have returned to China to spend your remaining time?"
Jiang You suddenly looked at Xia Bei, unable to believe that such harsh words could come from the mouth of a gentle and handsome man.
Song Yun, who was standing to the side, was only interested in matters concerning Jiangyou, and a few unpleasant words could not stir any emotion in him.
His long eyelashes fluttered twice, and his slender, beautiful fingers gripped a corner of the girl's clothes, making him look like a fragile parasitic flower that had to rely on Jiang You to survive.
Xia Bei, who had a deep understanding of people's hearts and had seen countless people, quickly figured out Song Yun's ways.
Around noon, most people had finished eating and were resting in their dormitories. Occasionally, a few people would pass by the girls' dormitory building.
Xia Bei seemed completely unconcerned about what he had just said, and did not question Jiang You and Song Yun's intimate actions.
He smiled calmly and elegantly, like a gentle breeze and the bright moon: "Jiang, let's go."
Jiang You stepped forward nervously, and Song Yun tightened his grip on his fingers, as if to follow.
The girl frowned and whispered for him to stay.
Song Yun opened her mouth, but in the end she obediently listened to the girl and did not follow. She just pursed her lips, her clear eyes filled with hostility, and glared at the man.
Xia Bei smiled calmly.
In the afternoon, Jiang You accompanied Xia Bei on a stroll around the campus, occasionally answering her questions about the school; everything seemed so ordinary.
But it felt as if an invisible sword was hanging over her head, ready to fall at any moment, keeping her in a state of extreme tension and anxiety at all times.
What does Xia Beige mean? Does he not realize there's a problem, or is he waiting for her to confess on her own?
After dinner, as they parted, Xia Bei casually said, "Shall we go to a teahouse outside and talk about you, Song Yun, and my silly younger brother?"
Jiang You met his deep eyes, and his extremely tense nerves suddenly relaxed.
She thought that when the sword hanging above her head fell, she would feel despair and fear, but she felt none of that. Instead, she felt a heavy sigh of relief and a sense of liberation.
Is it finally going to end?
She repeatedly explained that she didn't intentionally have two relationships at the same time, and asked the Xia family not to retaliate against her...
Hearing the girl's trembling voice, Xia Bei calmly poured her some tea and said slowly, "Don't be afraid. We're not some gangsters, we won't do anything to you."
Jiang You lowered his head, silently complaining to himself: Yes, you look refined and cultured, but your brother might be a different story.
Xia Bei's slender fingers tapped lightly on the table, producing a series of crisp and rhythmic sounds.
After a long silence, he calmly said, "Moreover, you are not at fault in this matter; it is Xia Yan who is being too deceitful."
The girl looked up abruptly, seemingly unable to believe he had said such a thing.
What a kind person! They come from the same family, yet the older and younger brothers are worlds apart.
At this moment, Jiang You had no idea that Xia Bei was far worse than Xia Yan.
Which of the children who came from the same compound as Xia Bei wasn't a prodigy, an outstanding individual, a rare gem?
The fact that they all fear Xia Bei shows how wicked he is.
Even Xia Yan, who looks down on everyone, has a bit of a brother complex towards Xia Bei and idolizes him.
However, Xia Bei has entered the political arena, donned a different persona, and become even more adept at pretending, but that doesn't mean he's genuinely amiable.
