Chapter 424: Chapter 425: Unexpected

XieYunlin:

No need for explanations anymore, Xie Xie.

He got it all!

Ye Xingbei stealthily poked Gu Junzhu in the waist and gave him a stern look.

Ye Xinglan, trying to mediate, said, “Let’s get down to business.”

Xie Yunlin pulled himself together and asked, “Right, let’s get down to business… Beibei, why did you call Brother Fei and me? Did you run into some trouble?”

“There is something!” Ye Xingbei sighed and explained Jiang Huan’s true identity as Jiang Lin to Xie Yunlin and Xie Jinfei.

After hearing the explanation, Xie Yunlin and Xie Jinfei were dumbfounded.

Not to mention Xie Jinfei, but even the usually calm and composed Xie Yunlin was too shocked to utter a word.

Ye Xingbei looked at the two and said, “That’s the situation. I called you here to get your opinions. Should we send Jiang Lin to prison now, or should we continue to investigate Jiang Zhengxing and send Jiang Lin and Jiang Zhengxing to prison together once we find evidence of Jiang Zhengxing’s crimes?”

Before Xie Yunlin and Xie Jinfei could respond, Gu Chi suddenly knocked on the door and came in, respectfully announcing, “Young Master, Young Madam, Jiang Huan has arrived.”

Ye Xingbei’s hand trembled as she looked towards Gu Chi: “Who?”

Gu Chi reported again, “Jiang Huan, the old Family Head of the Jiang Family.”

Ye Xingbei turned her head and looked confusedly at Gu Junzhu: “Why is he here?”

Gu Junzhu soothingly rubbed her nape, saying, “Don’t worry, he probably noticed that something was off.”

Jiang Lin was a cunning and dangerous old fox, malicious and scheming.

Otherwise, his plan to “Substitute one’s death with another’s” wouldn’t have been successful.

And for all these years, no one has noticed it.

There couldn’t possibly be no trace of faux pas when he sent someone to investigate Jiang Lin.

With Jiang Lin’s perceptiveness, he could have noticed someone was investigating him.

Ye Xingbei looked worried: “Then why is he here?”

“Let him in and we’ll find out,” Gu Junzhu, on the other hand, seemed quite interested. He instructed Gu Chi, “Let him in.”

A moment later, Jiang Lin, guided by Gu Chi, walked into the parlor.

With a warm smile on his face, Jiang Lin greeted everyone, sat down in the guest seat, and asked Ye Xingbei with concern, “Beibei, how have you been doing recently? I have been unwell for a while and haven’t had the chance to visit you. You’re not mad at your grandfather, are you?”

Ye Xingbei looked at him, moved her lips, but no sound came out.

Jiang Lin was the kindest person to her in the Jiang Family.

Years ago, it was Jiang Lin who brought her back to the Jiang Family, gifting her the identity of the Miss Jiang Family.

Jiang Siyou and Jiang Nianyu ostracized and slandered her, but Jiang Lin would have scolded Jiang Siyou and Jiang Nianyu, and stood up for her.

If it weren’t for Jiang Lin’s sudden severe sickness, she might not have been kicked out of the Jiang family back then.

She didn’t receive much kindness from early childhood to adulthood, so she cherished everyone who was nice to her.

She thought Jiang Lin was one of those who really cared for her.

But now it didn’t seem that way.

Jiang Lin was nice to her, but he certainly had an ulterior motive.

Even now, she didn’t know what Jiang Lin’s motive was.

Seeing her not speaking, Jiang Lin chuckled, his gaze wandering over Xie Yunlin and Xie Jinfei’s faces, and then he slowly said, “If my older brother could see his grandsons now, he would be content in the afterlife!”

Upon hearing these words, everyone was shocked and stared at him.

Jiang Lin was still laughing, “I know, you all have figured it out… I also know that truth can’t be covered forever. I managed to hide it for a day but not for a lifetime.”

He sighed deeply and laughed self-deprecatingly, “Actually, these years, I’ve been living with great exhaustion, continuously changing my habits, micro­expressions, and actions to pretend to be someone else. I’m honestly tired…”
