After Xia Sanghuan came in, she kept her head down all the time, refusing to make eye contact with Leng Chuanjin.
Having had the experience of last night, the process went much faster tonight.
So the acupuncture treatment ended in an awkward silence.
Just as she finished packing up and was about to return to the bedroom, the man suddenly called out to her.
"Sanghuan."
"What's your relationship with your sister like?"
Sister?
Which sister?
She looked at him with a puzzled expression.
Noticing her reaction, he explained further.
"Xia Anying."
She didn't know what his purpose was for asking this question, but to avoid unnecessary trouble, she chose to lie.
"We have a good relationship."
"We've been family, living together for over a decade."
"Although we may have some frictions due to our different personalities, there are no real conflicts between us."
She looked into his eyes and said this without batting an eyelid.
However, upon seeing the girl's calm gaze, the man knew she was lying to him.
Thinking about all the things Xia Anying had done to him this afternoon and her sickly sweet voice, he couldn't help feeling nauseous.
He had no impression of this woman and couldn't remember ever having any contact with her.
All he knew was that she was the "luggage" that came along with Xia Sanghuan when she moved into his house.
He originally thought she was just a bit domineering, but he never expected her to act like this.
After he woke up from his afternoon nap, Wang Fu immediately told him about the quarrel between Xia Sanghuan and her sister.
Including the content of their argument.
So the relationship between these two was definitely not as simple as Xia Sanghuan had described.
He was very curious about the "thing" she had mentioned. He had intended to take this opportunity to see if she would reveal anything to him, but she didn't give him any chance at all.
His suspicion about this matter grew stronger, and he even felt a bit frustrated.
She didn't trust him.
"If there's nothing else, I'll go back first."
"Second brother, remember to take your medicine before going to bed."
After saying that, without waiting for Leng Chuanjin's reaction, she opened the door and walked out.
When did he start to have doubts?
She thought with a solemn expression.
She had thought that Second Brother wasn't the kind of person who would interfere in the conflicts between little girls, but unexpectedly, he had asked her such a question.
Thinking about what had happened this afternoon, she guessed that the butler must have said something to Second Brother afterwards.
This was going to be a problem.
This wasn't the Fu family, and she was just a guest. She didn't have the right to ask the servants to keep their mouths shut.
In fact, if she went to them and emphasized this matter, they would only become more suspicious.
By then, the information that reached Leng Chuanjin's ears would be even more than this.
To ensure that Xia Anying could continue to live safely in the Leng family and be taken care of by the Fu family until she graduated and found a job, she couldn't let anyone know what her sister had done to her.
Especially the premeditated murder that had taken place on Qingshan Slope.
If her sister wasn't still as stupid as ever, she might have already died on that hillside.
Thinking of this, a cold sweat broke out on her back.
She did all this for Xia Anying not because she was kind - hearted.
She just didn't want to disappoint Xia Laosi in the underworld.
In fact, her patience with Xia Anying had already run out. She didn't want to take care of this sister who only knew how to cause trouble all day long.
After all, her sister had first stolen the black - boned spiritual treasure from her, and then joined forces with Leng Wanqing to deal with her.
Her heart wasn't made of iron, and she wasn't a saint who only knew how to give.
But when she went to pay respects to Xia Laosi and saw the group photo, she felt that she could endure a bit more.
Endure until Xia Anying found a job and could support herself, and then find an excuse to kick her out of her life.
Until then, she would do her best to protect her to fulfill Xia Laosi's last wish.
Just now, Second Brother had clearly been trying to get information from her. However, to avoid leaving any traces, while his chess game was still in the making, she simply kicked over the chessboard - she flatly refused to talk to him about it.
She was sure that even if Second Brother started to investigate this matter, he wouldn't find out anything.
Not to mention that the place was secluded, and besides, they hadn't left any traces there.
As for Xia Anying, she was sure that her sister had already taken care of all the follow - up matters.
The moment the girl walked out of the door, Leng Chuanjin dialed Yun Ye's phone.
"Send someone to check Xia Anying's specific itinerary during the days when Xia Sanghuan returned to Qingshan Slope."
"And find out who she has been in contact with recently."
The next morning, both of them tacitly didn't mention what had happened last night.
Since they were going to deliver the medicine for treating Jing Zhan to the hospital together, they left the house together.
In the car, Leng Chuanjin buried his head in reading documents, and Xia Sanghuan buried her head in reading materials. There was an inexplicable harmony between them.
Since Leng Chuanjin was an outsider to the school and considering the commotion he had caused last time, he sensibly didn't get out of the car.
When Xia Sanghuan arrived at the research lab, Professor He had already packed up the medicine.
They picked up the medicine and walked downstairs together.
On the way, they ran into Wei Linjun.
Wei Linjun greeted them gently.
After the greeting, he turned to Xia Sanghuan and gave her a faint smile.
"Miss Xia."
"Are you and Professor He going out?"
"Be careful."
His smile seemed harmless, but for some reason, it made her feel a chill down her back.
Professor He, who had already walked ahead, didn't notice anything strange between them. He turned around and urged Xia Sanghuan to hurry up.
She responded to Professor He, took one last look at Wei Linjun, and then followed him.
After she got into the car, she couldn't figure out why Professor Wei had said that to her until the car suddenly shook violently.
A car had rear - ended them.
For the convenience of the ride, Leng Chuanjin had specially asked Yun Ye to drive an SUV today.
She turned around and tried to look out through the rear - window glass.
However, the next second, she was pulled into a pair of strong arms, and then those hands protected her head.
Immediately afterwards, there was the sound of glass shattering.
She nervously grabbed the man's sleeve, trying to calm herself down.
The memory of the last time she was chased with Leng Chuanjin resurfaced, and the fear welled up in her heart.
But no matter how scared she was, she didn't forget the most important thing.
She shrank in the man's arms and whispered, "What about the medicine?"
"The medicine is fine."
She heard the man take a deep breath.
The medicine had been put into the safe after getting in the car, so unless it was thrown out of the car, it would basically be okay.
"What about Professor He? Is he okay?"
She asked uneasily.
