Hearing this, Xie Yanyu frowned: "Are we really estranged?"
They are real siblings!
What's the difference between you and me!
Besides, now that he is here, it is impossible for him to live somewhere else.
He frowned, and Xie Wan Ning immediately shuddered, shook her head repeatedly, and said firmly: "There is no estrangement. Brother and I are the closest."
She expressed her determination, but her face showed a look of wanting to say something but hesitating. Xie Yanyu looked over and asked, "Is there anything wrong?"
"...My place is a little crude, please don't despise it, brother," Xie Wan Ning reminded him, "It's not that I'm unfamiliar, it's just that the place is not suitable for you to live in."
She could never imagine that her brother, who was as handsome as the breeze and the bright moon, would live in a yard that was so shabby that even turning around was unpleasant.
This time, not only Xie Yanyu, but even Ji Chengfeng frowned.
I don't know what was going on in my mind, my eyes were filled with some distress, "Where does my cousin live? Take us to see it."
It looked as if she lived in a slum.
Xie Wan Ning couldn't refuse any longer. If she continued to refuse, she didn't know what they would think. She could only stand up and said, "Then let's go."
Of course Chen Xier followed along.
In the carriage, Xie Wan Ning asked about the case of Mr. Li.
Chen Xier's face was no longer filled with anxiety. Upon hearing this, she said, "Master Ji flipped through the files and seemed to have discovered something. He sent his subordinates to investigate."
But she didn't dare to ask more about the specific secret.
Just now they left the courtyard to give the brother and sister space to talk and went to the study in the front yard.
Along the way, she tried several times to get closer to this cousin whom she had just met. He was the official of Bianzhou, and making friends with him would bring her every benefit and no harm.
But this cousin, who looked like a gentleman, was very cold and distant.
Apart from……
Chen Xier stopped talking, but Ji Chengfeng took the initiative to say, "This case is not complicated. I will give you the truth tomorrow at the latest."
That calm and composed tone made people feel that no matter how big the problem was, he could handle it with ease. Chen Xier's eyes immediately turned red and she thanked him repeatedly.
Xie Wan Ning also smiled and said, "Thank you very much, cousin."
They are clearly cousins, one calls her Lady Ji and the other calls her Cousin.
Xie Yanyu had a very complicated expression, but he didn't say anything.
While they were chatting, the carriage stopped.
A few people got off the carriage and saw a narrow alley.
It was so small that even a slightly spacious carriage could not enter.
The two brothers' faces fell.
In silence, Xie Wan Ning looked inside and said awkwardly, "I forgot to ask you to prepare a smaller carriage. Actually, inside..."
"Okay," Xie Yanyu said, "Lead the way."
Xie Wanning was silent for a moment, and obediently led the way in front. But after taking just one step, he was stopped by Xie Yanyu again.
He frowned and looked at some mossy places in the alley. He held his sister's arm and said, "Be careful with your steps. Don't slip."
It was hard to believe that his pregnant sister went in and out of this road every day.
If you slip, the consequences will be disastrous.
Chen Xier looked at the brother and sister who were so close, with undisguised envy in her eyes.
But Xie Wan Ning didn't want to make her brother worry, so she pointed to her own yard as she walked, "That's the one... It's not too shabby, it has servants and maids, everything you need."
After all, she is not someone who would live a hard life. (End of this chapter)
