Chapter 32: Suspicion Abounds (Part 2)
y.Li An rolled his eyes. If he didn’t show Yan Luoxi some of his vicious side now, she wouldn’t fear him in the future. She had already started beating and verbally abusing him without any regard for...Chapter 64 Suspicion and Doubt Aplenty
Yan Luoxi turned around, looking at the young woman standing by the door and glaring at her with intense anger.
The woman was beautiful, but she now had a dark complexion and an aura of malevolence. In the bright sunlight, her expression looked rather eerie.
"Do you think my Ran-ge Brother truly loves you No, he has only loved Sister Mei in this lifetime. They grew up together from childhood, sharing hardships and joys equally. Sister Mei was always kind to him, supporting him financially through college. He holds a deep affection for her, even vowing never to remarry after her passing."
Ever since Yan Luoxi arrived at the house, Yu Hong had been making snide remarks about her, and she found what Yu Hong was saying intriguing. However, seeing the poisonous anger in Yu Hong's eyes, she suddenly wanted to tease her.
Suddenly, Yan Luoxi smiled at Yu Hong with an innocent expression, batting her eyelashes innocently, "You treat me like this because you have feelings for your Ran-ge Brother, right"
Yu Hong's face flushed red instantly as her secret was exposed by Yan Luoxi. "What nonsense are you talking about"
A delighted eyebrow quirk rose on Yan Luoxi’s face, "You’re jealous that my Ran-ge Brother is nice to me. Haha, let me tell you something—girls who want their beloved's attention need to be kind and gentle. If you act like a vicious tiger ready to pounce at any moment, your Ran-ge Brother will naturally be scared off by you."
"You… You wretched woman, shut up!" Yu Hong’s eyes were filled with such fury they seemed on the verge of spitting flames.
"Haha, I am a wretched woman, but your Ran-ge Brother just can’t get enough of me. This wretched woman once caressed his face, this wretched woman has seen your Ran-ge Brother's body, and this wretched woman has kissed him passionately…"
Yan Luoxi curled her lips with a teasing smile, staring intently at Yu Hong who was being tormented by jealousy to the point of madness: "Everything that this wicked me has done is something you desperately want too. You are even more pitiful than me!"
Yu Hong glared at Yan Luoxi; she probably did not expect Yan Luoxi to be so sharp-tongued. Her face alternated between green and white before she finally seemed to remember something, roaring angrily: "Brother Ran will eventually see through your true colors! There isn’t a single place where you are better than kind Sister Mei. He won’t fall in love with you; he is merely playing a game with you…"
"No matter how good your Sister Mei was, she’s no longer here!" Yan Luoxi said with a radiant smile: "Sister Yu Hong, don’t worry about me. Brother Ran will definitely like me and I will have a happy life with him."
Yu Hong almost cried as she gritted her teeth: “You wicked woman! Remember that you’ll get what’s coming to you! You can never obtain Brother Ran’s true love or happiness in this lifetime!”
This curse was truly vicious!
Yan Luoxi shrugged and, when Ran Xu returned from outside, immediately reminded the half-crazed Yu Hong: "Sister, didn’t you want to look for Brother Ran He’s back!"
Yu Hong turned pale as she glanced back at him with a desolate and sorrowful gaze.
Ran Xu gave Yan Luoxi an affectionate glance first before looking at Yu Hong with the love of an older brother for his younger sister, asking: "What’s wrong, Red"
Seeing this scene, Yu Hong was utterly heartbroken and, after biting her lips, she turned around and left.
"What happened to her" Ran Xu looked at Yan Luoxi as if seeking help.
Yan Luoxi lifted the corner of her mouth in a smile: "She likes you, but not me. As an actor, shouldn't you be able to understand how she feels at this moment"
Ran Xu shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Luoxi, don’t mind it; she's just a child." Then, as if he remembered something, his face changed, and he asked urgently: “Did she mention anyone or anything to you”
"No!" Yan Luoxi easily shook her head, giggling: "She only said that I’m not good enough for you and can’t be your new bride."
“Oh.” Ran Xu nodded thoughtfully. “Luoxi, take a rest, I'll go see Honghong and talk to her.”
"Sure!" Yan Luoxi nonchalantly nodded as she watched Ran Xu leave the room, her previously relaxed smile couldn’t be maintained anymore.
Previously, Yu Hong had repeatedly mentioned her deceased Mei sister and Ran Xu's first love. She hadn't taken it too seriously because who doesn’t have a past Besides, there was Zhou Guangtao whom she pined for; naturally, she allowed Ran Xu to have someone he deeply cared about as well.
However, later on, when Ran Xu’s shocked expression appeared, Yan Luoxi couldn't help but think more.
According to Yu Hong's account, the woman surnamed Mei had grown up with Ran Xu since childhood and helped him pay for his college education. But in the story Ran Xu previously shared with her, the self-sacrificing role was filled by his very look-alike elder sister.
The furious gaze of Yu Hong and Ran Xu’s panicked expression made Yan Luoxi sense that it might be Ran Xu who had lied.
But why did he lie to her, calling his former lover his sister Why hide the fact from her that he once had a deceased first love
Yan Luoxi suddenly became suspicious. All the events from when she met Ran Xu to now flashed through her mind.
Some things that were previously ambiguously explained by Ran Xu seemed even more dubious.
Why would Ran Xu like an ordinary person like herself Why was he in such a hurry to take her out and register their marriage...
With these doubts, Yan Luoxi could not sleep no matter what.
She got up from bed and left the room. She discovered that there was a back door at Uncle Chang’s house, leading to a large garden behind the house.
The backyard garden of Uncle Chang's house was very big, with many fruit trees planted in it. Beneath the fruit trees, some vegetables were also cultivated using the land wisely.
Yan Luoxi walked forward cautiously so as not to step on anything, and she heard low voices talking nearby, carried by the wind.
"... I just can't understand why you would like such a woman. In what way is she better than Sister Mei Big Brother Ran, you're deceived by her looks; she's actually very nasty and mean..."
Yu Hong's muffled voice sounded aggrieved and sorrowful; it seemed that Yan Luoxi had upset her quite badly.
"Honghong, I know Sister Mei is good, but she’s already gone. Brother can’t stay alone forever. Honghong, don't blame me; I can’t spend my whole life guarding the memories left by Sister Mei. I have to find a companion... Luoxi isn’t too bad of a person..."oth surprised and delighted, and subconsciously ran a few steps toward the luxury goods store where He Yufan was.Just as she was about to run into the store, she noticed a plump middle-aged man with a...
