"Do you want me to go in with you?" Xu Suying asked, holding onto Xiong Jingfei's hand the whole ride back. "I can stay with you?"
They were about to arrive at Yang Zheyan's front gate in a few minutes, and Xu Suying didn't want to leave Xiong Jingfei alone. Not after the way she reacted at the shrine today. Also, Xiong Jingfei was awfully quiet the whole ride back. She didn't seem to want to have a single conversation with her and wouldn't say what happened between her and the crazy grandma.
Xu Suying's parents were worried about Xiong Jingfei but decided to not ask or probed into it further. Seeing as Xiong Jingfei was refusing to tell them what happened. They will wait until Xiong Jingfei feels she is ready to tell them.
Xiong Jingfei finally smiled at Xu Suying and shook her head. Today, she already worried and bothered Xu Suying and her parents enough. She can't keep dragging Xu Suying into her problems any more than she already has.
Furthermore, what was there to tell Xu Suying? That she saw her mother through the crazy grandma? Pft, anyone told her that she would have laughed at it too.
The most unbelievable part was that the little girl named Xu Song and the a.d.u.l.t Xu Song in her dreams looked exactly like Xu Suying! It was already absurd that the people she keeps seeing in her dreams were the same people that are in her life.
Then she started to remember those people's faces when she woke up from those dreams belonging to Ai. Feng Huan was the first person she recalled, then Zhao Fan, and the third person so far is Xu Suying.
Before all she had were their names, but now it is different, she has their face and name too. They are the same people as those she knows in her life. There were still a few missing faces from the names that keep popping up in her dreams. A few that bothered her were Yang Zheyan, Wei Weimin, and Wu Yuan.
When they stopped in front of Yang Zheyan's gate, Xiong Jingfei apologized and thanked Xu Suying's parents for today's trip. It was a trip that took an unexpected turn for her.
"Sweetheart, are you sure that you'll be okay on your own?" Xu Suying's mom asked, getting out of the car with Xiong Jingfei. "Why don't you spend the night with us?"
Xiong Jingfei stared at those kind eyes belonging to Xu Suying's mom. They looked exactly like her mother right when she told her that she loved her.
I really miss you, mom.
She hugged Xu Suying's mom as a rejection of her invite. Xiong Jingfei knows how much Xu Suying's family cared for her, and she can't thank them enough. They are more family to her than her own step-mother and half-sisters.
Xiong Jingfei walked through the long pathway up to reach the house. As usual, Yang Zheyan's place, whether it was outside or inside the house. It was quiet.
She rarely encounters any of the employees taking care of Yang Zheyan's place. The only person she really interacted with was Nanny Liu. It also felt like the employees were trying to avoid her.
When she entered the house, it wasn't as "quiet" as she thought it would be. Inside, Yang Zheyan was occasionally making a few comments, and there was another voice responding back.
"Zheyan, I need you to do this for me!"
"Leave." Yang Zheyan said in a monotone voice. He wasn't paying any attention to Lu Weisheng's worries. Instead, his focus was on his phone since it was much more interesting than Lu Weisheng's topic.
"How can you treat me this way? I did what you wanted! You wanted me to leave and stop living here, and I did." Lu Weisheng cried and muttered the rest under his breath, "I left you here alone with your bride, but you…"
Yang Zheyan waved him off, "You weren't supposed to even be here in the first place. Your brother is one phone call away."
"Zheyan! As my good cousin and brother, I need you to help me clear up this misunderstanding!" Lu Weisheng rubbed his hands together, begging Yang Zheyan. "You know my older brother is not an option!"
If his older brother wasn't already on his back, Lu Weisheng would never beg Yang Zheyan for his help. Besides his brother, who can help him clear up this mess as always. Yang Zheyan was the only other person who could do it.
Lu Weisheng didn't have the power to do it because it was taken away by his older brother. It was frustrating to be the younger brother and the one who causes the most headaches!
"Ack!" Lu Weisheng jumped back and held his chest. "You scared me!"
Xiong Jingfei flinched. She scared him? He scared her!
Just as Lu Weisheng was thinking of how his older brother was probably coming up with various methods on how to punish him. He wanted to cry! Then the other person he has been most afraid of recently showed up out of nowhere. She didn't even make a sound!
Well, how could Lu Weisheng take notice of her entering the house? He was too busy worried about his life that was on edge.
Yang Zheyan finally looked up from his phone and gave her a warm smile, "Welcome home, darling~."
Eek, what happened to the devil? Lu Weisheng rubbed away the goosebumps on his arms. No matter if it's Yang Zheyan fake smile or gentleman manners, he never used this type of voice when talking to others!
Then there was a part of Lu Weisheng that felt betrayed! He was shouting and pacing back and forth, but Yang Zheyan didn't even bat an eye. His beloved walked in, and he was all smiles!
Xiong Jingfei responded to Yang Zheyan with a tender smile. Right, even Lu Weisheng is unaware of their fake relationship. But… This panicking person was the same person who tricked her into thinking he was Yang Zheyan. Making her believe she was having an affair with Yang Zheyan's cousin!
"W-welcome home sister-in-law… Hahaha." Lu Weisheng nervously laughed, not realizing his head was creating water. Every time he sees Xiong Jingfei, that scary image of her keeps popping up on its own.
She looked at Lu Weisheng up and down. What should she do with him?
