Chapter 77: Lanni’s past (4)
He did not want to jump into conclusions regarding her involvement, but if she did really did have a role to play in Li Lanni’s accident, then she would have crossed his bottom line. Until now, the only reason he had been sparing her was that she was his sister. But if he had any evidence regarding her involvement, he wouldn’t care about this anymore.
If Ji Xiehan knew just how important that ’savior’ was, he would not have tossed him aside so casually.
...
After he went home, he called Jiang Xingyu to his place to have a chat.
"Did you ask your Aunt Li about it?" As soon as Jiang Xingyu arrived, he threw a question at him, his tone laced with envy. Ji Xiehan had managed to get on Li Yuming’s good side before he did. When he was obviously Lanni’s first love...
He knew that being Li Lanni’s love had nothing to do with anything. Li Yuming only favored Ji Xiehan because their families had been a bit close, and she had taken care of him a few times when he was a kid. This must be the only reason why they were close. But still, he couldn’t help but grit his teeth in envy. If only he had been close to Li Yuming as a child too...
Ji Xiehan was unaware of his friend’s jealousy, so he invited him to have a chat over a glass of wine and explained what he had heard from Li Yuming. He tactfully left out the overly sensitive details like how the accident seemed to be premeditated since Jiang Xingyu didn’t need such details anyway.
When he was done, he asked, "Her name is Li Lanni. Why do you call her Xia?"
Jiang Xingyu seemed to recall something. "That’s her surname. She said to call her Miss Xia and not ask about her first name. I didn’t investigate her either because I respected her privacy."
