Chapter 261: Is it true
second young master fu stood dumbfounded as he listened. wasn't du xinyue supposed to be xiao chengmin's wife? why was she embracing ji chunsheng?0
his gaze toward ji chunsheng had evolved beyond simply viewing him as a scoundrel—this man clearly had serious moral issues. what kind of person would make advances on his brother's wife while his brother's fate hung in the balance?0
second young master fu stepped back like he was avoiding the plague, afraid that being close to ji chunsheng might lead others to think they were cut from the same cloth. he quietly blocked ji chunsheng's contact information on his phone, making it clear he wanted nothing to do with such a scoundrel.0
ji chunsheng hadn't noticed second young master fu's subtle actions, as his attention was completely focused on shi ruan. his eyes, usually full of affection, now showed nothing but weariness and impatience.0
though his heart felt like it was being cut by a knife, ji chunsheng still wanted to explain everything to shi ruan. if there was any chance to salvage things, he would take it. even if he couldn't, he didn't want shi ruan to misunderstand him.0
shi ruan let out a light laugh, "i used to think you were someone who cared about face, but now i see how terribly wrong i was. anyone with an ounce of dignity would choose to part ways gracefully after doing something so shameless, rather than making up such ridiculous excuses."0
shi ruan turned to second young master fu and asked, "second brother, do you believe his story about being possessed by a ghost?"0
"how could that possibly be true? listen, ruan, you need to wise up. even elementary school kids wouldn't believe such a nonsensical excuse. if you believe his story, i'll tell shi quan about this, and he'll break your legs—want to test that theory?"0
while shi quan would never actually hurt his sister, if shi ruan truly made the mistake of taking back such worthless trash, there was no guarantee he wouldn't teach her a lesson.0
shi ruan inwardly scoffed. did second young master fu misunderstand her? did he think she was the type of woman who would lose her way over a handsome face?0
well, she was.0
shi ruan smiled at ji chunsheng, "you heard that, right? even second brother fu doesn't believe your ghost story. what makes you think i would?"0
second young master fu: ??? why did it suddenly feel like he'd been insulted?0
ji chunsheng's expression remained earnest, "i'm not lying. what i said is true."0
shi ruan's expression became even more sincere as she suggested, "i think the ghost possession excuse isn't great. how about this instead: why don't you say you have a split personality, and what i saw that day was your alter ego? this other personality has been secretly in love with du xinyue for a long time, and because i wasn't around, when he saw the object of his affection, he couldn't control himself and embraced her."0
her smile carried a hint of detachment that hurt ji chunsheng more than any look of disgust could have.0
second young master fu's mouth twitched as he listened. this girl had always been sharp-tongued since childhood, and with shi quan backing her up, she'd become even more unrestrained in her speech.0
he'd gotten into plenty of fights alongside shi quan because of shi ruan's mouth.0
second young master fu silently prepared himself for a fight, ready to step in if ji chunsheng tried anything physical with shi ruan. his fists weren't just for show.0
they had even spent time together during the new year celebrations.0
shi ruan thought this was quite the coincidence—how had they managed to let the actual family member overhear everything?0
though they didn't know the woman beside xiao feiyu, her intimate gestures with xiao feiyu and her fiery glare at ji chunsheng suggested she must be a relative of the xiao family—ordinary friends wouldn't react so strongly.0
shi ruan took two steps back, clearly ready to watch the drama unfold.0
ji chunsheng, who had been completely focused on shi ruan, naturally noticed her small movements.0
he found these little gestures of hers endearing.0
then he remembered how, in the past, if they encountered such a situation, shi ruan would have stood beside him, facing it together.0
now everything had changed.0
why did it have to be this way?0
seeing they'd been discovered, xiao feiyu gave up trying to hide.0
the moment she removed her hands, xiao family's aunt began her verbal assault, "ji chunsheng, our chengmin is still fighting for his life in the icu, and you've been friends since childhood. how could you do this to him? are you even human?"0
a broad smile appeared on shi ruan's face as she chimed in, "exactly! cheating is bad enough, but making moves on your brother's wife? how could you do such a thing? are there no other women left in the world?"0
faced with shi ruan's provocative remarks, ji chunsheng could only sigh inwardly in resignation.0
spurred on by shi ruan's inflammatory comments, xiao family's aunt's anger intensified. yes, with so many women in the world, why did he specifically go after her nephew's wife?0
the more she thought about it, the more she pitied her nephew. he was lying in a hospital bed between life and death, while his so-called good friend was trying to seduce his wife.0
xiao family's aunt looked ready to tear ji chunsheng apart.0
shi ruan subtly nudged second young master fu's arm, "brother, do you think ji chunsheng has secretly been in love with his good friend? since he couldn't have you, having your wife was the next best thing."0
shi ruan thought she'd spoken quietly, but everyone around could hear her clearly.0
xiao feiyu's mouth twitched as she listened. no wonder shi li's cousin was part of their family—they shared the same wild imagination.0
she could be certain that ji chunsheng wasn't in love with her brother, but others might not see it that way.
