As she spoke, she was already embraced by a gentle hug. She felt a few hot tears dripping on her exposed shoulder, and her body paused.
"Qing Qian, it’s not that we don’t want to tell you, but once this is said, there are many things that uncle and aunt would find even harder to accept," ca an elderly voice beside her ear.
What exactly is so frightening to them?
Before Xia Qingqian could speak, the middle-aged noblewoman holding her said, "Qing Qian, what has kept you going for so long? Zhenyu is gone already, and our hearts have found peace again." She gently released Xia Qingqian, her face suddenly clouded with a dense expression, and said, "Qing Qian, we are grateful that you still rember Zhenyu and sincerely hope you can find your own happiness."
Xia Qingqian thought to herself: Do they really have so unavoidable reason? As parents, did they never consider where their son’s heart truly lies?
"Aunt, actually Zhenyu..." she carefully inquired, after contemplating for a while in her heart, finally spoke up, "Does he have a twin brother?"
Upon hearing this, their expressions beca even more vacant, as if they were avoiding sothing, just staring dazedly at Xia Qingqian.
She, knowing much, but all were her own speculations, should she tell her? If she tells her, they would have to face the facts buried for so many years.
"Tell , is it true?" In her mind were always Mu Liubing’s words: In this world, aside from twins, could there be another identical Qiao Zhenyu?
"Qing Qian, your childhood was spent with Zhenyu, we only have Zhenyu as a child, when did we have another?" The noblewoman was quite startled by Xia Qingqian’s words. Perhaps she has seen him?
"Then Nancy Xi who works at Beitang Group, how is he related to Brother Zhenyu? The two of them, they look identical, at first, I thought he was Brother Zhenyu, but he wasn’t, he wasn’t..." Xia Qingqian shook her head and sighed, voicing these out, as she truly did not want to go around in circles with them.
It’s too painful, too painful.
Since they wouldn’t say who Brother Zhenyu’s heart was donated to, they should at least explain the relationship between Qiao Zhenyu and Nancy Xi.
The noblewoman had to maintain composure, forced a smile, "Qing Qian, among billions of people, similarities are countless, why are you so persistent?"
Xia Qingqian didn’t think so. She felt that when she spoke of soone with the sa handso face as Qiao Zhenyu, they were unmoved, as if it were an ordinary matter.
"Then there must be many differences, right? At first, I always suspected he was Brother Zhenyu," she lightly stated.
"And the result? Is it?" The noblewoman raised a hand to tidy her hair disheveled by the breeze, her calm eyes quietly watching Xia Qingqian.
Listening, Xia Qingqian pondered for a while before shaking her head, but felt sothing was not quite right.
She couldn’t quite tell what was wrong, couldn’t say it at all.
Unexpectedly, the noblewoman said, "Since it’s not, why dwell on so many things? Many things can’t be explained in a few words." She then reached out to lightly pat Xia Qingqian’s shoulder, letting her hand rest there for a mont.
