âI really donât know where these photos came from.â
Xie Shiâanâs gaze fell on the photos. âCan I take a closer look?â
Jian Han did not reject him. He passed the photos to Cui Ke, and the latter quickly passed them to Xie Shiâan.
The scenes in the photos were too familiar to Xie Shiâan.
The pictures featured his former home, and Sang Qianqian had lived there for a few short months.
In the photo, Xie Shiâan and Sang Qianqianâs every move looked unusually intimate.
It was no wonder that Cui Ke misunderstood that Jian Han had stolen the photo from the Xie family. It was because such a photo, in Cui Keâs eyes, mightâve been part of his Young Masterâs private collection.
After all, Sang Qianqian was already married, and for her sake, Xie Shiâan had almost taken Cui Keâs life. Cui Ke still had lingering fears and still remembered it clearly.
Xie Shiâan looked at the photos for a long time under the light.
âThese should have been taken from a video on a surveillance camera. The Xie family doesnât have such a video, let alone these photos. Itâs impossible that he stole it.â
Xie Shiâan said lightly, âCui Ke, remember this next time. Donât blame people blindly.â
Cui Ke could only agree.
Jian Han laughed and took the photo back. He looked at Sang Qianqian and said, âMadam, Iâll wait for you in the car.â
He waited for Jian Han to leave.
Xie Shiâan then said, âDid someone send these photos to the Zhen family on purpose? Why didnât you tell me before?â
âI didnât think it was necessary, because it would be impossible for you to be involved.â
Sang Qianqian explained, âJian Han was helping Hanyu to investigate this matter. I didnât expect him to have those photos with him. Iâm sorry.â
âI should be the one apologizing for not getting the video earlier.â n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
When Ruan Cheng and Ruan Xiaoshuang got into trouble one after another, Xie Shiâan had no time to care about anything else. When the matter came to an end, he remembered the surveillance camera in the small courtyard. When he went to get it himself, he realized that the memory card had disappeared.
At that time, he had arranged for people to look for the memory card, but they couldnât find it. Also, because Ruan Xiaodie was in urgent need of someone to take care of her abroad, he had gone abroad first. Now that he had returned, it had been a long time, and there was no way to investigate.
âI didnât expect that person to be so stupid as to send the photos to the Zhen family.â
Xie Shiâan paused. âHas Shen Hanyu found out who this person is?â
âYes, but heâs dead.â
Sang Qianqian hesitated for two seconds, but still revealed the other partyâs identity. âHe was one of the Ruan familyâs ordinary bodyguards in the past. Hanyu doesnât know why he did that.â
To be honest, Sang Qianqian could not figure out this personâs motive either. âHe sent the photos to the Zhen family through Hanyuâs cousin, and it happened on the day Hanyu first brought me to the Zhen family.â
âWith this personâs identity, it wouldâve been impossible for him to know this surveillance video existed, let alone get hold of it.â
Xie Shiâan thought for a long time. âItâs possible that thereâs someone else instructing him to do this. He purposely chose to send these photos when Shen Hanyu brought you to the Zhen family. I donât think heâs asking for money, but heâs trying to disgust the Zhen family. Maybe heâs trying to use this to ruin your relationship with Shen Hanyu.â
Sang Qianqian nodded. âIâve thought about that as well. Could it be that he couldnât bear to see the Ruan family in trouble, so he took these photos from the surveillance cameras and sent them to the Zhen family to make me and Hanyu feel uncomfortable?â
âIf thatâs the case, then this person is too stupid.â
Xie Shiâanâs lips twitched. It was unknown if he was mocking someone else or himself.
If Sang Qianqian and Shen Hanyuâs relationship could be so easily destroyed by a few photos, he wouldnât still be single.
âBrother Shiâan!â
A crisp voice rang out. Ruan Xiaodie and Ruan Xiaoshuang had come out of the room.
Xie Shiâan said in a low voice, âTell Shen Hanyu that Iâll send someone to investigate this matter. If thereâs really a mastermind behind this, Iâll find him and give you an explanation.â
Before Sang Qianqian could reply anything, he had already gone to Ruan Xiaodie.
âBrother Shiâan, who are you calling stupid?â
Ruan Xiaodie let go of Ruan Xiaoshuang, took Xie Shiâanâs hand, and innocently said, âAre you talking about Xiaodie? That makes Xiaodie angry.â
âXiaodie is the smartest. Why would Brother Shiâan say that about Xiaodie?â
Xie Shiâan comforted her like he was coaxing a child. âXiaodie doesnât know the idiot Iâm talking about.â
Ruan Xiaodie nodded her head in confusion. She took Xie Shiâanâs hand and said, âBrother Shiâan, Sister Shuang is going home. Letâs send her off.â
She was very attached to Xie Shiâan. Sang Qianqian had seen it before when they were abroad, so she was not surprised now.
Ruan Xiaoshuang, on the other hand, was very pleased to see her sisterâs reliance and intimacy with Xie Shiâan.
Now that she was blind, she couldnât take care of Ruan Xiaodie, nor could she provide a good living environment for her sister. Letting her sister stay with Xie Shiâan was the best arrangement for the time being.
Because Xie Shiâan was worried about Ruan Xiaoshuang, and Ruan Xiaodie also said that she wanted to send her sister off like a child, in the end, Xie Shiâan brought Ruan Xiaodie back to the studio with Sang Qianqian.
Usually, the studio would be closed by this time, but tonight, the lights were still on. Song Yu could be seen sitting in front of the easel, drawing with a brush.
However, he seemed to be a little absent-minded, as his brush was held in the air for a long time without falling.
Xie Shiâan looked at Song Yu from a distance through the glass. In the end, he listened to Ruan Xiaoshuang and did not get out of the car.
This was a very ordinary community in the capital, and this studio looked very small. In the dark, it was impossible to see the name. Compared to the flashing neon signs beside it, it looked very shabby.
Xie Shiâan felt a little uncomfortable, but in the end, he only said, âSister Xiaoshuang, donât forget to inform me and Xiaodie when the wedding date is set.â
âI will,â Ruan Xiaoshuang smiled gently.
She held onto Sang Qianqianâs hand as she got into the car. When they were still a dozen meters away from the studio, she was determined not to let Sang Qianqian accompany her back to the studio.
âIâm very familiar with the rest of the path. Iâve walked through it countless times. Qianqian, you donât have to send me off.â
Ruan Xiaoshuang said softly, âMr. Shen should still be waiting for you at home. You should go back early.â
Under the light, her eyebrows were delicate and gentle. Although her eyes could not be seen, they were like a clear and peaceful lake, reflecting the light.
Sang Qianqian thought about what Ruan Xiaoshuang had sacrificed for her brother and could not help but tear up.
âSister Xiaoshuang,â
She gently hugged Ruan Xiaoshuang and held back her tears. âYou must be happy.â
Ruan Xiaoshuang smiled. âI will, Qianqian. You too.â
She turned around and walked toward the studio.
Sang Qianqian stood on the spot and watched as she pushed the door open and entered the studio.
Inside, when Song Yu heard the commotion, he put down his brush in surprise and walked over to help her.
Shen Hanyu was not home yet.
Sang Qianqian sat on the sofa in the living room in a daze. Her mind was filled with Ruan Xiaoshuangâs problems, and then she thought of herself and Shen Hanyu.
She hesitated, not knowing if she should tell her brother. She picked up her phone several times, wanting to dial his number, but eventually put it down.
When she heard the sound of Shen Hanyuâs car, her heart was in a mess. It was as if something had suddenly pulled her back to reality, and she almost immediately got up and ran out.
As soon as Shen Hanyu entered the room, he was caught off guard by the soft, warm, and fragrant girl who threw herself into his arms..
