Qin Hanshu asked Qin Feiyang, "Do you and your sister-in-law see each other often?"
Qin Feiyang replied, "It's alright, we see each other about once a week. But I've been busy with the wedding lately, so we see each other more often."
Qin Hanshu nodded. "Have you met her family?"
"I've met her before," Qin Feiyang said. "I even had dinner at her house the day before you came."
In other words, it had only been two days since Qin Feiyang last saw Cao Jing.
"You haven't done anything to upset your sister-in-law these past few days, have you? I noticed she was a bit distant when she saw you just now," Qin Hanshu probed indirectly.
Qin Feiyang immediately shook his head and said, "No, we've never argued. Maybe it's because your sister-in-law was a little embarrassed to see you here."
Hearing Qin Feiyang say this, Qin Hanshu didn't ask any more questions.
Qin Feiyang took Qin Hanshu out for a while, bought her a new dress, and returned to the dance troupe just as Cao Jing finished her rehearsal.
Cao Jing changed her clothes and walked towards Qin Feiyang and Qin Hanshu.
"Let's go, I took the afternoon off to show you around."
Qin Feiyang said, "Then let's go to that time-honored restaurant on Xinghai Road for lunch."
Xinghai Road is very close to the dance troupe; you can walk there.
Cao Jing nodded in agreement.
Qin Hanshu walked next to Cao Jing, while Qin Feiyang lagged behind them by half a step.
Cao Jing tilted her head and looked Qin Hanshu up and down for a while. "I heard you were sent to the countryside in the Northwest? Was life tough?"
Qin Hanshu smiled and shook her head, "It's alright."
Cao Jing: "I heard from Feiyang that you have a pair of twins, an older brother and an older sister. Are they good to you?"
Qin Hanshu couldn't help but glance at Cao Jing.
At first glance, Cao Jing seemed to be concerned about whether she was doing well, but Qin Hanshu sensed a strong sense of testing.
But what was Cao Jing testing?
Qin Hanshu calmly withdrew her gaze and replied, "Not good."
A look of "I knew it" flashed across Cao Jing's face, and then her eyes showed sympathy as she looked at Qin Hanshu.
Qin Hanshu's heart stirred, and she said again:
"But it doesn't matter now. My stepfather was executed for reselling Guo Jia's supplies, my stepsister went to the countryside, and my mentally challenged stepsister also went back to the countryside with his grandmother."
"And I've grown up now, I can live my own life."
When Cao Jing heard about the Hu family's ordeal, she maintained an expression of extreme shock, as if these events were beyond her original understanding.
An unbelievable thought popped into Qin Hanshu's mind.
Judging from her and Hu Wenwen's experiences, could Cao Jing also be a reincarnation from a previous life?
However, Qin Hanshu quickly dismissed this idea.
It doesn't seem like it.
If Cao Jing were reborn, her reaction should be not only shock, but also surprise and joy. After all, the Hu family, who brought disaster to the Qin family in the previous life, has received their retribution, and Qin Feiyang and she can live their lives well in this life.
Although Cao Jing's emotions were rich, they revealed a kind of indifference from an observer.
Yes! Qin Hanshu finally knew where that strange feeling came from.
Cao Jing could tolerate looking at her, but there was even a sense of unfamiliarity in her eyes when she looked at Qin Feiyang.
Qin Hanshu turned to look at Qin Feiyang, wondering if he had noticed.
Qin Feiyang felt Qin Hanshu's gaze and returned a bright smile.
How silly...
The old restaurant on Xinghai Road has a history of fifty years and is now state-owned. It still has a lot of customers.
The restaurant has two floors. Qin Feiyang was clearly not a first-timer; he led his sister and fiancée straight up to the second floor.
The group sat down at a window seat.
Qin Feiyang asked Qin Hanshu and Cao Jing to sit on one side, while he sat down opposite them, and then gave the menu to Qin Hanshu.
"Order whatever you want to eat, don't try to save your brother money."
Qin Hanshu reached her hand out from under the table and took the menu. She was about to ask Cao Jing what she wanted to eat, but she found Cao Jing staring at her wrist in a daze.
The location was exactly where she had cut her wrists.
Qin Hanshu called out twice before Cao Jing came to her senses.
"What's wrong with my sister-in-law? She seems distracted."
Cao Jing glanced at Qin Hanshu's wrist a few more times, and asked casually, "You have a scar on your wrist, what happened to it?"
Before Qin Hanshu could speak, Qin Feiyang said, "It's nothing. She was just naughty when she was little and accidentally cut herself on glass."
Qin Feiyang believes that suicide is not a good thing, and his sister certainly wouldn't want to bring it up again.
Qin Feiyang's interruption prevented Cao Jing from getting a definite answer, leaving her somewhat disappointed, but she couldn't press him for an answer.
There are no staff members waiting to take your order during mealtimes; you have to go to the order window on the first floor.
Qin Hanshu named a few dishes and then asked Qin Feiyang to go downstairs and order.
After he left, Qin Hanshu smiled slightly and said to Cao Jing, "This scar is from my suicide attempt."
Cao Jing revealed an expression that said, "I knew it."
Without thinking, she blurted out, "Then how come you..."
How come he's not dead?
Suddenly realizing the inappropriateness of her words, Cao Jing swallowed them back and awkwardly tugged at the corners of her mouth, "How did you remove the scars? If you don't look closely, you can't tell that you've attempted suicide."
If Cao Jing had heard this from someone else, she would have definitely offended them.
However, Qin Hanshu didn't care about that; she was certain of one thing.
Cao Jing is definitely not the original Cao Jing.
Cao Jing knew very well about her relationship with the Hu family, including the fact that she was supposed to commit suicide.
Qin Feiyang only just found out, so he couldn't and had no chance to tell Cao Jing.
If Cao Jing were reborn, it would be understandable that she would know these things, but as mentioned before, Cao Jing's reaction doesn't seem like that of someone who has been reborn at all...
Where did this "Cao Jing" come from?
Qin Hanshu suddenly remembered that there was a very famous novel in Hong Kong in later generations, which tells the story of a man living in modern times who travels back to the pre-Qin period and experiences a series of events. This phenomenon is called time travel.
In fact, her experience was similar in nature, both involving time travel. The difference was that she traveled back to her past self, while the protagonists of later novels traveled back to the past with their original bodies.
Let's think outside the box: is it possible to travel into someone else's body?
The more Qin Hanshu thought about it, the more she felt that "Cao Jing" was in this situation. Moreover, "Cao Jing" had somehow witnessed her past life.
Otherwise, she wouldn't know so much about her past life.
Qin Feiyang came up from downstairs after ordering the food, looking radiant.
Qin Hanshu felt extremely depressed.
Where "Cao Jing" came from is not the most important thing.
Most importantly, where did the real Cao Jing go?
That's the person my brother loved!
