He knew that Ming Ansheng would be the one who would be more desperate to hide the truth from Su Yue.

“I know that I ought to believe in her. I wish I could.” Xuxu gazed into Yan Rusheng’s eyes and her eyes flickered with emotions. “But Ah Sheng, you know that Jiao Chen...”

At the mention of Jiao Chen, Xuxu’s voice became constricted that she couldn’t continue. It ached Yan Rusheng’s heart.

He nodded and said, “I know. Ming Ansheng and I both knew. We all concealed the truth from her because we were worried she couldn’t take it.”

He reckoned that Jiao Chen, who had passed away, would rather that Su Yue be kept in the dark forever.

Whenever he thought of what Jiao Chen had done and sacrificed for Su Yue, he would consider what he had done as inadequate.

Yan Rusheng plodded on solemnly after a long pause. “But have you thought of this? She still misses Bai Jing and wonders if she is doing well. She still treats her as her best friend. If the truth comes to light one day, will she hate us and herself? She might think that she had let Jiao Chen down.”

Yan Rusheng’s every word gripped Xuxu’s heart with a painful twist.

She softly replied, “She said that Bai Jing was her first and only friend.”

She was so pure and innocent and she really cared for her friend.

If she were to know that her friend was the one who plotted the car accident, how would she take it? How cruel would the truth be for her?

And Jiao Chen eventually died because he saved her life.

“Then don’t put yourself in anguish over this. Just let nature take its own course. If she finds out, so be it.”

Yan Rusheng’s words greatly consoled Xuxu. She sighed deeply and decided to come out of her distress. She nodded and smiled at him.

Yan Rusheng managed a feeble smile and turned his attention back on the road. The car sped towards a traffic junction, and the traffic lights turned red.

He gradually reduced his speed and stopped. He smiled brightly at Xuxu. “Wife, let’s go to the apartment tonight.”

The apartment belonged to both of them and it was quiet. He could do whatever he wished.

Xuxu rolled her eyes at him. “Go home!”

Her tone was unyielding.

It dumbfounded Yan Rusheng.

...

“Uncle Ming, shall we go visit my brother first?”

As the car sped, the thought of meeting Ming Ansheng’s mother made Su Yue anxious and jittery. After all, she was her future mother-in-law.

Her heart was pounding against her chest.

Ming Ansheng turned and grinned at Su Yue. “Why are you so nervous? As the saying goes, no matter what, the ugly daughter-in-law will eventually meet the in-laws, anyway.”

Su Yue glared at him in disapproval. “You’re the ugly one. How dare you say I am?”

Ming Ansheng chuckled and replied, “It’s just a saying, why do you have to take it to heart?”

He reassured Su Yue softly, “My mother likes you very much, and you know it. Weren’t you close to her in the past? She has been nagging at me to bring you back. If you refuse to, she will migrate to Country M instead.”

It was the truth. His mother had been nagging at him incessantly and bombarding him with questions about her granddaughter. They worried her that her granddaughter wouldn’t be eating well there.

If she didn’t have to take care of her grandson back at home, she would have flown there.

Su Yue frowned quietly to herself. She got a little impatient as she was nervous. “But, that was all in the past. Everything is different now.”

Ming Ansheng couldn’t comprehend her words. “Why is it different?”

Su Yue replied, “Our identities have all changed.”
