Chapter 1399: A Woman’s Jealousy
Zhou Ran also kept her composure, speaking indifferently, "Achi, stop asking. It’s not worth asking about, it’s been seventeen years. Tell me, do you want to know the truth, or has Chaomu been unable to let go?"
"Chaomu has long since taken a step back. She has always been the one to concede for me and the kids. This time, it is I who want to get to the bottom of it," Shen Chi said.
"Since Chaomu herself no longer pursues it, why must you keep asking? There’s no such thing as the truth or falsehood, what you see is what it is."
Zhou Ran’s gaze was steady, a haze of colors flickering in her eyes.
Walking alongside Shen Chi on this quiet hospital path, everything seemed calm, yet her thoughts were dragged back to seventeen years ago.
"Because I don’t believe you’re the murderer," Shen Chi said with a firm look and determined tone.
He had discovered this matter quite some time ago, back when Xu Chaomu was still with the Shen Family.
He chose to keep it from Xu Chaomu to maintain friendly relations with her, but later things spiraled out of his control, and the so-called truth of the matter became known to Bai Man.
Over the years, he has been mired in self-blame, for his mother was the murderer who killed the other’s mother, and he was the son of her matricidal enemy.
But he has never been willing to acknowledge this fact, and on many occasions, he tried to test Zhou Ran, to observe and scrutinize her.
He found that the truth seemed elusive and perplexing.
No matter how Zhou Ran treated Xu Chaomu, he could not believe that Zhou Ran would commit arson and murder. In his eyes, Zhou Ran has always been synonymous with elegance and beauty.
