"After all these years, have you ever seen Chi truly indifferent toward An Ran?"
"Hou Mingjie!" Lin Wanqing raised her voice sharply, "If you ddle again, I’ll cut ties with you!"
Mingjie fell silent, and Lin Wanqing angrily turned to look out the window.
At least she now had Chi’s mother’s deathbed will as protection, Chi Cheng would definitely not ignore her!
Later, if she could find the chance to get Chi Cheng and hopefully get pregnant, with Chi’s mother’s blessing, she didn’t believe Chi Cheng wouldn’t marry her!
What she lacked now was just timing.
Once the timing was right, she was sure she’d grab Chi Cheng’s arm, stomp An Ran hard underfoot, and watch her cry!
Mingjie spoke again, "An Ran, she..."
She was innocent, these words hadn’t left his mouth before Lin Wanqing interrupted again, "An Ran is the damn bitch who killed Aunt Chi! She deserves to die!"
Enough.
Mingjie shook his head, saying no more.

On the other side.
An Ran was sitting on the sofa, scrolling on her phone, as Chi Cheng ca over with a fruit platter, sitting beside her.
Uncle Chi and mom weren’t around, and the servants had been sent away.
Though many chores needed to be handled by the siblings themselves, there was unexpectedly a touch of cozy warmth like that between a couple.
Chi Cheng lazily leaned on the sofa, pulling the young girl into his embrace, looking down and asking, "What do you want to eat?"
An Ran wanted to get up and get it herself.
Unexpectedly, Chi Cheng didn’t let go, "Just say what you want to eat."
An Ran replied obediently, "Mango."
Chi Cheng picked a piece and fed it to her.
An Ran ate happily.
"Is it good?"
"It’s good, you should eat so too."
"What I want to eat isn’t this." Chi Cheng said, slowly picking another piece, and offered it to her mouth.
"Cough... Cough cough..." An Ran choked unexpectedly.
Why does brother always have to flirt everywhere?
An Ran blushed, "You, you stop with the nonsense."
Chi Cheng’s eyes glead with amusent, he picked up a piece of apple, "I ant, I want an apple. Ranran, what did you think I ant? Hmm?"
Uh...?
An Ran blinked.
Feeling like she was always outsmarted, never ahead of brother, she resigned.
A mont of distraction, and her phone fell to the ground.
An Ran quickly picked it up.
The screen rested on an app interface.
It was an image-sharing app focused mainly on old photographs.
Many experts uploaded their works from back then.
Row after row of old photos swiped by, with so awe-inspiring landscapes, others witnessing the city’s growth step by step.
An Ran’s personality was reserved and calm, she really liked these old things.
Just then, a photo suddenly caught Chi Cheng’s attention.
As An Ran was about to swipe past, Chi Cheng pressed her wrist, "Wait."
"What’s wrong?" An Ran asked in confusion, lifting her small face.
Chi Cheng took the phone over, his long, fair fingers tapping open the picture.
It was a screenshot of a dynamic image by the sea.
The cara swept over a landmark building by the coast, then scanned into the distance.
The date shown above was the exact day Chi’s mother died.
Chi Cheng’s eyes turned stern instantly, glancing at the account that uploaded the photo set.
Normally calm inside, this photo stirred up waves of emotion bit by bit.
Because—
The angle from which this was taken.
Was directly facing the cliff where Chi’s mother jumped to her death!
