Chapter 351: The cause of the sister's separation

Outside the twin’s ward, Jinhai saw Nana lovingly playing with Jian and nian and laughing and giggling with them.

Liu Hai came and stood beside him. “Did you find out about Tang And Tang Ning?”

Jinhai narrowed his eyes. “No.”

Liu Hai turned grave. “This is strange. By now, we should have already caught them. How far can they run away from us?”

Jinhai glanced at him. “It’s impossible to hide from the underworld for long. That means there is someone from the underworld too who is helping them to hide from us.”

That was the only conclusion possible.

“How can the Tangs know anybody like that? The last I know is that they knew the Longs, but they are already in ruins, plus, they don’t have underworld connections.”

Jinhai’s expression was dark and grim. His family was right in front of him, happy and safe.

If he didn’t catch the Tangs quickly, then they could thwart their lives once again. His sons were so small. They cannot protect themselves.

And as the husband and a father, Jinhai would never let anybody harm his wife or his defenseless sons.

Because now there was some other problem as well.

Liu Hai squinted his eyes. “You understand, right? It’s not just the Tangs anymore. If some underworld gang is helping them, then that means they are against the Liu family too. Otherwise, nobody would dare help the Tangs if they knew that they tried to kill Liu family’s daughter-in-law.”

Jinhai firmly said, “I will find them. Whoever they are.”

Pei Yuan, in his lavish bedroom, laid on his couch, staring at the glass of wine in his hand.

He took one sip and leaned on the back on the couch. A few minutes later, he got up and walked towards his cupboard.

From one of the drawers, he took out one photo frame.

A beautiful lady was smiling brightly towards the camera, holding her son in her arms. The sunlight kissed her fair face, and she looked even prettier. The son was giggling, too, along with his mother.

He gently caressed the photo frame with his fingers.

Mom…

I wouldn’t let your murderers enjoy their life anymore. It’s time for them to pay for their sins.

He wanted to destroy the Liu family, but it was so ironic that Nana was the daughter-in-law.

But Pei Yuan refused to believe that Nana was happy. For him, they were monsters who snatched away his family. How could she stay happy with those people?

“Mom…I will take revenge. And once I get it, once I ruin the Liu family, I will introduce the love of my life to you. I hope you give your blessings to us.” He smiled.

Cemetery.

Liang Zou softly said. “You haven’t changed at all.”

Huo Xiao Fan didn’t respond.

“You still never let out your feelings. You were always such a quiet person…whom I gravely misunderstood one day.”

Huo Xiao Fan knitted her brows.

What is he saying?

“I always knew that you liked me.”

Huo Xiao Fan jerked her head in shock.

“That night in my birthday banquet, I pretended to look like I just came to know about it.”

She rapidly blinked her eyes as this sudden revelation was too much to take.

Did I hear it right?

Liang Zou clenched his fingers into a fist. “I kind of noticed your feelings for me. You would suddenly get nervous in front of me, or sometimes I saw you blush. I am not a narcissist, but I realized because that was how I felt for Xiao Dan.

I felt guilty. But I had already fallen for Xiao Dan. I didn’t know whether to confront you or not. But I thought it was wise not to bring it up.”

Huo Xiao Fan had no idea about this. After so many years, she was coming to know about it.

“Why are you saying this now all of a sudden?” She asked.

Alright, even if he knew about it, why was he telling her all that now? What was the point?

Liang Zou took a deep breath. “You remember one day, Xiao Dan fell sick in college? She ate the usual canteen food, but suddenly she had to be admitted to the hospital.”

Of course, Huo Xiao Fan remembered that. That was the most horrible scare Xiao Dan ever gave her. She looked so pale that day and got sick all of a sudden.

“It was food poisoning.”

“Yes.”

“And I believed that you mixed something in her food to make her sick.”

She froze.

“Say what?”

Liang Zou shut his eyes. “I thought you got blinded by your love for me, and in a fit of jealousy, you did that to hurt Xiao Dan.”

Huo Xiao Fan looked at him, dumbfounded. “Y-you thought I really could do that to her? You thought I was so vicious?”

He hesitated. “I saw you carrying her food plate. When Xiao Dan was hospitalized, I remembered that. So I wondered if you started hating Xiao Dan because I liked her and not you.”

He felt terribly embarrassed, admitting the truth.

“I was terrified when I saw Xiao Dan like that. I thought you would hurt her more and interfere in our relationship. I didn’t tell this to her because I knew she would feel hurt, or perhaps she wouldn’t even believe me. So I thought to do something to cut off your feelings for me in an instant.”

She blankly waited.

“So I slept with Xiao Dan that day when you came back from the trip. I knew you were going to come back, and I wanted you to see us together like that.”

Huo Xiao Fan trembled. It felt as if the whole earth slipped beneath her feet.

“I was sure that…that would definitely make you realize that your feelings were pointless and wasted on me. I was sure you would give up on me, and you did. You left Beijing. But it was quite later when the truth came out that it was some other girl who did that. She had confessed to me, and naturally, I rejected her. The reason was still jealousy, but…it wasn’t because of you.”

Silence.

“I felt utterly ashamed of myself. I misunderstood you, and because of my stupidity, I separated two sisters who loved each other so much. I wanted to apologize to you and, if possible, bring you back but it was too late. You and already left, and I didn’t know where you were.”
