Chapter 533 Aunt’s defensiveness
Xu Xiaoxiao stood in the empty corridor, staring ahead blankly.
In the past, she desperately wanted to escape from here because she had an obsession in her heart - to find Xu Haojie and save him from the sea of suffering. However, now, both Xu Haojie and Ji Feng have rested in peace in the funeral home, and it seems meaningless whether she leaves again or not.
Her only wish now is to find out the truth, seek justice for her brother and Ji Feng, and let them rest in peace.
Fu Yanchen has been busy with work since he came back. Even if they live in the same house, they feel like strangers.
At first, Xu Xiaoxiao didn't care. She knew where her focus was. However, three days later, she could no longer bear the silence and alienation. She decided to take the initiative to find Fu Yanchen and ask for details.
She walked through the corridor and came to Fu Yanchen's study door. Taking a deep breath, he knocked on the door.
The door opened in response, and Fu Yanchen's tired face appeared in the crack of the door. Seeing Xu Xiaoxiao, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"Is something wrong?" he asked calmly, without any emotion in his voice.
Xu Xiaoxiao bit her lip and said firmly: "Fu Yanchen, we need to talk."
Fu Yanchen looked at her firm eyes, was silent for a moment, and then stepped aside: "Come in."
Xu Xiaoxiao walked into the study and looked around.
This place was full of Fu Yanchen's atmosphere, but it made her feel strange and alienated. She took a deep breath and turned to face Fu Yanchen.
"Fu Yanchen, I know you are very busy, but I also have something important to ask you."
Her voice was firm and powerful, "How much do you know about the death of your brother and Ji Feng?"
Fu Yanchen looked at her angry and determined eyes, and a complex emotion surged in his heart.
He took a deep breath and said slowly: "Xiaoxiao, I know you are sad now. But what I can tell you is that their death really has nothing to do with me."
"Then do you know who did it?" Xu Xiaoxiao stared into his eyes tightly, trying to find a flaw in it.
Fu Yanchen was silent for a moment, then shook his head: "There is no conclusive evidence yet.
But I can assure you that I will definitely handle this matter and give you a satisfactory answer. "
In fact, Xu Xiaoxiao has been thinking a lot these days. She seems to have fallen into a fog. Many things are entangled in her mind, like a tangle that cannot be untangled.
Fu Yanchen's words about Ji Feng and Xu Haojie's life experiences echoed in her mind, and every word was like a needle, piercing her heart.
She thought of those distant past events that seemed so close at hand. Those strange events were now connected together, creating a cloud of suspicion that made people shudder.
Ji Feng, the relative who once saved her from dire straits, has now left, and it is still a scar in her heart that is difficult to heal.
And her brother Xu Haojie is an indispensable presence in her life.
However, they left her one after another, leaving behind endless mysteries and sorrow.
Fu Yanchen's words were like a gust of cold wind, blowing away the last trace of warmth in her heart.
He said many times that the death of Xu Xiaoxiao's brother and Ji Feng was not that simple. There must be a secret hidden behind it that she didn't know.
These secrets are like poisonous snakes in the dark, spitting out messages, ready to give her a fatal blow at any time.
Xu Xiaoxiao knew that she couldn't just sink like this. She had to cheer up and pursue the buried truth.
She couldn't let her brother and Ji Feng die in confusion. She wanted to seek justice for them and let their souls rest in peace in heaven.
Fu Yanchen leaned elegantly on the sofa, raised his eyes, and raised his eyebrows slightly, exuding an unruly heroic spirit.
He had actually expected that Xu Xiaoxiao would come to ask about her brother and Ji Feng, but he didn't expect that she would come so quickly. This time, in three days, she really thought that she was omnipotent. She could investigate in just a few days. to the truth.
Fu Yanchen rubbed his eyebrows, gently closed the document in his hand, and motioned Xu Xiaoxiao to sit down with his eyes.
Xu Xiaoxiao hesitated for a moment, but finally chose to sit down.
She knew that if she wanted to solve the mystery in her heart, she had to face this man.
A playful smile appeared on Fu Yanchen's lips, "Sit over here, otherwise how can we discuss things?"
His voice was deep and magnetic, as if it had an irresistible charm.
"Fu Yanchen, don't push yourself too far."
Xu Xiaoxiao frowned. She didn't want to get too close to him. This man always gave her a dangerous feeling.
"Okay, then we have nothing to talk about."
Fu Yanchen shrugged. He always dealt with Xu Xiaoxiao with ease.
He knew her weaknesses and knew how to make her submit.
Xu Xiaoxiao sighed helplessly and could only sit close to Fu Yanchen.
She knew that now she had no choice but to compromise temporarily.
However, the moment Xu Xiaoxiao just sat down, Fu Rou walked in as if pressing the surveillance button on Xu Xiaoxiao.
She saw Xu Xiaoxiao sitting next to Fu Yanchen, with a surprised expression on her face, "Hey, Xiaoxiao, are you here? Are you okay?"
Xu Xiaoxiao was not a fool and would not understand the meaning behind her words. It was obvious to Fu Rou that Xu Xiaoxiao should not appear in Fu Yanchen's study.
Xu Xiaoxiao frowned. Ever since the last incident, she had no good impression of this aunt.
She felt that Fu Rou was always targeting her intentionally or unintentionally, which made her feel very uncomfortable.
"If my aunt has anything to say to Fu Yanchen, I'll leave first." Xu Xiaoxiao said lightly, waiting for Fu Yanchen to speak.
However, before Fu Yanchen could answer, Fu Rou smiled and said, "Xiaoxiao, you misunderstood. I have nothing serious to do with Yan Chen."
"Auntie, if you have something to say, go out first. Xiaoxiao and I have something to talk about."
The corner of Fu Rou's mouth twitched and she said to Fu Yanchen, "It's nothing serious, Achen. You are not in good health and have not recovered yet. I found a Chinese medicine doctor and prescribed medicine for you to regulate your body. I have already ordered the kitchen to stew it for you. Medicinal food and soup, after you finish talking with Xiaoxiao, take the time to go downstairs and drink some."
Her tone was gentle and flattering, as if she was making up for her previous negligence.
Fu Yanchen had a headache. How could he not see his aunt's guard against Xiaoxiao, but he didn't want to expose his aunt, so he said, "Aunt, I know, and you just told me on the phone, I will not forget."
Fu Yanchen replied coldly, "I told you, I don't need to drink those messy things, just let the kitchen dump them."
Fu Rou's expression instantly became very embarrassed. She opened her mouth, but she didn't know what to say.
She glanced at Xu Xiaoxiao secretly, only to find that she was staring at her coldly, with eyes that seemed to be able to see through all lies and disguises.
"That, that,..."
