Married to My Ex-Fiancé's Cousin-Chapter 743 Things Aren’t That Simple_1

"Then does your mother treat you well?" Su Zi had never asked Xu Qingyang about his mother before, always thinking of him as an older brother. But now, after meeting Xu Longyan, her curiosity suddenly grew.

Xu Qingyang replied, "She treated me very well. She always loved me dearly, but she was not good to my younger brother at all."

In his mind, his mother was the best mother in the world. Yet, in front of Xu Longyan, she was the worst mother in the world.

Thinking of those things, Xu Qingyang felt helpless. He had asked his mother why, but she did not answer him.

He had always felt sorry for his brother, but no matter how sorry he felt, he could not tolerate Xu Longyan doing something as heinous as killing their mother.

After all, killing was illegal!

Even more unexpected was what happened to his younger brother afterward. He went down a road of no return.

Xu Qingyang deeply regretted it.

If he had paid more attention to his brother, perhaps such a tragedy would not have happened.

The atmosphere in the room turned silent because of this topic. Ji Yunhuan gently knocked on the door, then pushed it open and walked in.

Seeing Ji Yunhuan and Qi Cheng come in, Su Zi greeted them, "Sister Yunhuan, Brother Cheng."

Ji Yunhuan walked in and said, "Last night, I came to see you, but you were already asleep, so I came by today to check on you. Are you alright now?"

Ji Yunhuan looked at Su Zi. She was still sitting on the bed, looking perfectly fine.

Su Zi smiled, "Thank you for worrying about me. I’m fine."

After chatting for a while, Qi Cheng and Xu Qingyang left. Ji Yunhuan stayed behind and said to Su Zi, "I heard about your kidnapping, and I was worried to death. Seeing you safe and sound now makes me very happy."

"Thank you, Sister Yunhuan," Su Zi said. "Yesterday was just a scare. Although Brother Long kidnapped me, he let me go in the end."

"Um..." Considering Brother Long’s infamous behavior, it seemed unlikely he would do such a thing for no reason. Ji Yunhuan thought of Su Zi’s mother’s reaction last night, "Your mom was very worried. She thought Brother Long brainwashed you."

"No," Su Zi explained. "Look at me now; do I look like I’ve been brainwashed? My mom is just overreacting. She even wanted to get me a psychologist this morning! I just don’t want Brother Long to die. I feel like he has some secret—when I look at him, he feels familiar."

"Really?" Ji Yunhuan frowned. Su Zi’s words did not surprise her.

It only made her think of past events.

Considering the relationship between Xu Ruyan and the Su family, these things were still explainable.

After chatting with Su Zi for a while, Ji Yunhuan learned about Su Zi’s return and was surprised that Su Zi found Xu Longyan familiar!

Standing in the hallway, Ji Yunhuan opened her phone and looked at photos of Xu Longyan working in a warm restaurant. She noticed a strange feeling about him.

The first time they met, she had felt it. Now, looking closely, she realized he seemed somewhat similar to Su Zi.

Just then, she saw Su Mu coming upstairs with a freshly cooked soup. Ji Yunhuan walked over, "Auntie."

Su Mu glanced at Ji Yunhuan. Although it was now confirmed that Su Molang was fake, she still felt a bit estranged from Ji Yunhuan because of previous incidents.

Ji Yunhuan said, "I have something I want to talk about."

"What is it?"

"Can we talk alone?" If it hadn’t been for Su Zi’s kidnapping, Ji Yunhuan wouldn’t have thought to bring this up, but at this moment, her curiosity was uncontrollable.

So, she wanted to take this opportunity to ask about Xu Ruyan.

Su Mu was always reasonable and agreed to Ji Yunhuan’s request since there was no enmity between them.

She took the soup to Su Zi’s room and came out shortly after.

In the second-floor lounge, Ji Yunhuan asked, "Do you know Xu Ruyan?"

Mentioning this name, Su Mu frowned, "Why do you ask?"

Ji Yunhuan showed Su Mu a few photos on her phone, "Take a look at these."

They were photos of Xu Longyan with Xu Ruyan and Xu Qingyang.

The photos were old, but their facial features could still be identified.

Ji Yunhuan explained, "I found these photos at Xu Qingyang’s old home. The woman in the photos is his mother. Later, I had someone investigate and found that Xu Qingyang’s mother should be your schoolmate. But... no other information could be found."

Hearing this, Su Mu’s fingers stiffened. She looked at the child in the photos; it was Xu Qingyang as a child, looking exactly like her A’Liang.

Though she was somewhat surprised by the resemblance between Su Molang and Xu Qingyang, she hadn’t thought Xu Qingyang might be Xu Ruyan’s child.

Seeing Su Mu didn’t speak, Ji Yunhuan asked, "Are you sure you only gave birth to one child, Su Molang, at that time? Not twins? Is it possible that Xu Qingyang is also your child?"

It was very likely. Otherwise, Xu Qingyang’s DNA couldn’t match perfectly with Su’s father.

Su Mu didn’t answer Ji Yunhuan’s question. Her gaze fell on Xu Longyan, "This child..."

"This is Xu Longyan, Xu Qingyang’s younger brother, who just kidnapped Su Zi, also known as Brother Long." Saying this, Ji Yunhuan handed Xu Longyan’s grown-up photo to Su Mu, "Take a close look at this."

When she saw the photo, Su Mu’s beautiful eyes widened rapidly. She looked at the photo in shock, "Are you sure this is... Qingyang’s brother?"

That vicious villain?

It wasn’t very apparent when he was young, but Xu Longyan’s grown-up features stunned Su Mu.

Ji Yunhuan said, "Xu Qingyang has confirmed it. This is what his brother looks like grown up. Xu Longyan previously worked in my friend’s restaurant, where my friend accidentally took this photo. Do you have any thoughts after seeing these photos, Auntie?"

Su Mu didn’t speak. Her fingers trembled as she extended her hand, covering half of Xu Longyan’s face on the screen, leaving only the upper part with the eyes. At this, she recoiled as if in shock.

Ji Yunhuan watched Su Mu’s reaction without blinking. She had previously thought that perhaps Xu Qingyang was also a child of the Su family. Now it seemed things were far more complicated.

Su Mu looked at everything in disbelief, "This is impossible."

"Auntie, please calm down." Seeing her agitated state, Ji Yunhuan felt a bit worried. "Should I call Uncle to come over?"

Hearing this, Su Mu quickly stopped Ji Yunhuan, "No." She stared deeply at Xu Longyan’s photo for a long time, "Can you give me this photo?"

"If you want it, of course, I don’t mind." Ji Yunhuan sensed that the truth was about to be revealed, but Su Mu’s current reaction made it hard to ask more questions.
