Chapter 713 - 216 Sister and Brother_5
Xue Zhao laughed, "Don’t worry, sis."
Jiang Li gave Xue Zhao another thorough reminder of what to pay attention to. While she was instructing him, she looked no different from the Xue Fangfei in Xue Zhao’s memory. Xue Zhao agreed to everything with a smile, and only then did Jiang Li leave the room with Jih Heng.
Zhao Ke had been squatting at the door for quite a while. When he saw Jiang Li and the other person come out, he quickly made way. He noticed that Jiang Li’s eyes were slightly swollen, as if she had cried bitterly, while Jih Heng’s expression was indiscernible. Zhao Ke wildly guessed to himself, could it be that his master, upon seeing the close relationship between Miss Jiang the Second and Ah Zhao, threatened Miss Jiang the Second, or even killed Ah Zhao? His master was ruthless enough to do such a thing. But from the looks of it, with Miss Jiang the Second being resistant to pressure but not persuasions, this blunt approach might only anger her.
He followed behind Jih Heng and Jiang Li from afar.
"Thank you, Jih Heng," Jiang Li’s voice was muffled from crying, no longer as clear as usual, "You saved Ah Zhao."
"It was merely lifting a finger for me," Jih Heng said, "Besides, I didn’t know he was your brother at that time."
He indeed hadn’t expected this person to be Jiang Li’s brother. Even after Xue Zhao had stayed at the house for a long time, he hadn’t paid attention to what Xue Zhao’s name was. If it wasn’t for Zhao Ke calling out "Ah Zhao" tonight, he didn’t know when such a misunderstanding would be resolved. But it seemed that the siblings from the Xue family were very close, and he was also glad for the small effort he had made.
Though he habitually disliked watching plays with happy endings, always feeling them too fake and laughable, when it came to Jiang Li, he thought all tragedies should stay far away from her—everything should end in great joy.
