Chapter 94.1: Xishan Residential Area (14)

  Yang Muqing, after being hit by the door, didn’t cry. He got up by himself and quietly sat down next to Ruan Qing.

Regarding Chen Sihan’s question, Ruan Qing naturally knew why Yang Tianhao didn’t go to the company.

The real Yang Tianhao was now in the freezer, so it’s obviously impossible for him to go to the company.

And those few impostors couldn’t fool even a blind man like him, let alone the people in the company.

However, Ruan Qing didn’t expect that the murderer had Yang Tianhao’s phone and didn’t even request leave for him.

Ruan Qing seemed puzzled and looked somewhat surprised in Chen Sihan’s direction. He asked, “You’re saying Ah Hao hasn’t been to the company these past few days?”

“Yes,” Chen Sihan nodded, then realized that Ruan Qing couldn’t see him and slowly continued, “Around 1 o’clock yesterday afternoon, Brother Yang left the company.”

“It seemed like something urgent came up, and he didn’t inform the company, so I came to visit yesterday.”

“But I didn’t expect that Brother Yang didn’t come to the company today either.”

“Is something wrong?” Chen Sihan paused for a moment, looked at Ruan Qing, and cautiously asked, “Is it because my presence bothers Sister-in-law, so he doesn’t let Brother Yang come to the company?”

During their conversation, both of them failed to notice the photos hanging on the wall. The male homeowner’s gaze seemed to be fixed on them.

Ruan Qing’s expression dimmed at Chen Sihan’s words, but he shook his head, hesitated, and said, “I saw Ah Hao off this morning. He only came back recently because something happened to me.”

“And Ah Hao said he came back late because he was working.” Ruan Qing seemed to realize that his husband might be deceiving him, and his voice grew quieter.

Even a misty mist began to form in his foggy eyes, his eyelashes trembling slightly, and his frail figure appeared somewhat fragile.

Even the ruby in his ear seemed to lose some of its color, adding a sense of brokenness.

Yang Muqing, who was sitting next to Ruan Qing, seemed to sense Ruan Qing’s unease and sadness. He gently held Ruan Qing’s hand, as if comforting him.

Chen Sihan didn’t glance at Yang Muqing, he looked down at the person sitting obediently on the couch, his eyes gradually deepening.

But his voice didn’t reveal any strangeness; it was filled with curiosity. “That’s impossible. Brother Yang definitely didn’t come to the company today.”

As Chen Sihan spoke, he seemed to think of something and paused for a moment, then muttered with some pain in his voice, “Could it be that Brother Yang...”

Chen Sihan’s voice wasn’t low, and Ruan Qing naturally heard it. He looked in Chen Sihan’s direction and asked, “What?”

Chen Sihan hesitated for a moment, as if debating whether to speak, but in the end, he opened his mouth, “A few days ago, Brother Yang was chatting very happily with our new female colleague, even mentioning hotels and booking rooms.”

“Back then, I was just passing by, and when they saw me, they stopped talking,” Chen Sihan pursed his lips, his tone filled with uncertainty, “So I’m not sure if I misheard.”

Because the photos were hung somewhat high, all three of them were below the photos, and no one looked up. So no one noticed that after Chen Sihan finished speaking, the man in the photo had eyes that became a bit sinister.

The man in the photo looked at Chen Sihan with resentment, as if he wanted to crawl out of the photo and kill him.

As for Ruan Qing, after hearing Chen Sihan’s words clearly, her expression instantly froze, and he seemed to be in shock, as if he hadn’t reacted.

The next moment, Ruan Qing’s eyes turned red, and tears quickly filled his eyes. In his vacant and lifeless gaze, a trace of disbelief appeared, and his delicate face also showed vulnerability.

In a situation where one was already insecure, destroying a love was too easy.

Before Ruan Qing could react, Chen Sihan spoke first, his voice filled with pain and restraint, with a hint of disbelief, “No, it’s impossible. Brother Yang wouldn’t do this to me.”

“He wouldn’t.”

“He clearly said he only loves me. He said it.”

As Chen Sihan spoke, his voice choked as if he had been betrayed by his lover, but couldn’t believe it.

Ruan Qing: “?”

It’s okay to snatch the ‘husband,’ but there’s no need to steal lines, right?

And where did he get the standing to say such things in front of him?

Not to mention whether the thing about the female colleague was true or not, but when Chen Sihan said this, it seemed to confirm the affair between him and Yang Tianhao.

If the original owner had heard this, he would probably be heartbroken and create an even bigger gap between him and Yang Tianhao.

This relationship, on the verge of collapse, probably couldn’t make it to the end.

Chen Sihan could achieve his goal with just a few words; being a third party really undersold his abilities.

After listening to Chen Sihan’s words, Ruan Qing’s face grew even paler, as if he had been deeply affected. Tears welled up in his eyes and finally fell like broken pearls, one by one.

While crying, Ruan Qing lowered his head, feeling that Chen Sihan’s expression and gaze just now were a bit strange.

It was as if he had ulterior motives.

Judging by Chen Sihan’s actions, it seemed not to be the case. After all, he had been trying so hard to snatch his ‘husband.’ Their relationship and positions had completely reversed.

For a moment, Ruan Qing felt confused.

No one noticed that the man in the photo this time not only had a fierce look in his eyes but even had redness seeping from his eye area. The crimson color gradually spread, tinging the entire photo red.

Deceiver, he’s deceiving.

He didn’t love him; he clearly wanted him to be Ruan Qing’s scapegoat, to die in his place.

When did he ever say he loved him?

Liars, they’re all liars. Everyone was deceiving Ruan Qing.

Kill them, kill them.

He’s going to kill them.

Hehe, kill them.

Ruan Qing belonged to him.

Chen Sihan looked at the fragile, crying young man before him, his gaze deepening.

Although the young man had his head down, shedding silent tears, from his perspective, he could clearly see the redness in the corners of his eyes. The young man’s eyes were moistened by tears, and his long eyelashes trembled like wings.

The young man looked so fragile, just like a parasitic flower on a tree branch, delicate and dependent. Once the tree branch died, he would wither and shatter.

But the tree branch didn’t actively seek to host the parasitic flower, yet the young man before him made people willingly, even eagerly, want to be possessed by him.

This person, Yang Tianhao, was truly admirable.

From childhood to adulthood, whether it was in academics, managing the company, or personal matters, Yang Tianhao always overshadowed him, causing him to grow up in his shadow.

Everyone thought he was inferior to him, as if he was utterly useless.

Even now, Yang Tianhao had a beautiful wife who deeply loved him.

The jealousy was maddening.

Chen Sihan constantly thought it would be better if Yang Tianhao were dead.

And now, this thought has become even stronger.

Then let Yang Tianhao disappear.

He also wanted to become the ‘big tree’ parasitized by the young man. Although he was not as good as Yang Tianhao before, he would definitely be better than Yang Tianhao in being this ‘big tree’.

Chen Sihan hooked his lips, sat down beside Ruan Qing, gently embraced Ruan Qing, and his voice was full of choking and vulnerability. “Sister-in-law, how can Brother Yang treat me like this?”

“I like him so much. He’s too much, having a sister-in-law and still fooling around with other women.”

Ruan Qing didn’t expect Chen Sihan to suddenly hug him, and for a moment, he didn’t react.

Were all mistresses so shameless now?

And they’re hugging the main wife and complaining? Wouldn’t that just infuriate the main wife?

Ruan Qing pushed Chen Sihan directly, interrupted his words, and with red eyes and an unusually cold tone, he said, “Please leave. You’re not welcome in my home.”

Chen Sihan was slightly stunned, looking at the coldness on Ruan Qing’s face with some confusion.

No, as victims ‘betrayed’ and ‘forsaken’ by Yang Tianhao, shouldn’t they sympathize with each other and comfort each other?

He and the person who was oppressed by Yang Tianhao should be like that.

Regardless of what Chen Sihan was thinking, Ruan Qing seemed unable to bear it anymore, as if he was about to expel him from his home. However, Ruan Qing had only pulled a few times when his whole body froze.

Just now, because he was sitting on the sofa and couldn’t see the white wall behind him, but now because he stood up and pulled Chen Sihan, he naturally saw the photo on the wall.

The photo now seemed to be soaked in blood. The entire photo had a strange red hue, so red it looked like it was about to drip blood.

No, not about to drip blood, but there were already bloodstains slowly dripping down along the white wall, looking horrifying and eerie.

Moreover, the blood seemed alive, some of it even seeped out from the photo, creepily crawling up to the ceiling above them, forming a shape of a grim and crimson face.

Though the facial features weren’t clear, the deep-seated resentment and unwillingness on the face were evident, causing a sudden feeling of fear and danger.

It made the scalp uncontrollably numb.

And that face was becoming more and more like Yang Tianhao’s face, as if it was struggling to climb out from inside the wall.
