51: Maybe She Confused Him With Someone Else

Maybe She Confused Him With Someone Else

"I'm not as heartless as you are. You disappeared ever since you got married. I came here to see you."2

"Is there anything that you need to say to me?"

"Of course there is," Shi Mengwan patted on her shoulder and said, "As a single lady, I think I need to come here to show my concern and love to you, a married woman, and see how you are doing."

"Piss off," Su Qingsang gave her a gentle elbow shove and said, "Don't you call me 'married woman'."

"You are a married woman." Shi Mengwan and Su Qingsang chatted and laughed. Then, they looked at the time and found it was about the hour to get off work.

"Let's have dinner together."

"Alright," Su Qingsang didn't say no.

Before she got married, she and Shi Mengwan would always have dinner together. Shi Mengwan sometimes even stayed at her place for the night.

"Let's go."

They walked out together. Shi Mengwan brought her car. On her way to her car, she suddenly paused.

"Wait."

"What's wrong?"

Su Qingsang saw her stare at a man ahead of her. Before Su Qingsang could react, Shi Mengwan rushed up toward the tall, strong man.

"Dear Brother?"

The man turned around and looked at her. "Who? Me?"

"Dear Brother! You're Dear Brother, aren't you?"

"Miss, I think you confused me with someone else."

Having said those words to her, the man left without looking back. Shi Mengwan attempted to follow, but Su Qingsang held her hand and stopped her.

"Mengwan, what's wrong?"

"He is my Dear Brother! He's Dear Brother."

While speaking, Shi Mengwan freed herself from Su Qingsang's grip and attempted to follow the man. Su Qingsang tightened her hold and said to her, "Are you sure? Maybe you got it wrong."

"I didn't. I…"

"You haven't seen this Dear Brother of yours for over ten years, right? Perhaps you got it wrong."

Shi Mengwan froze, gazing straight ahead. Her pretty face wore a confused look.

"Yeah, we haven't seen each other in over ten years. I might be wrong."

Even if the man was her Dear Brother, he didn't recognize her anymore.

"Mengwan?"

Su Qingsang was a little worried about her. Many others did not know about her story, but Su Qingsang knew.

Shi Mengwan accidentally strayed away from her family when she was twelve. Dear Brother saved her. The two of them lived a homeless life together for a whole year. Later on, they met some bad people. She got stabbed and then fell into unconsciousness. When she woke up, she was already home.

After waking up, she kept telling everyone that she needed to find Dear Brother. However, no one could tell her a word about his whereabouts. The police even told her that the boy she described never existed.

She refused to believe that and kept asking the police and her parents to find Dear Brother for her.

Nevertheless, all those people thought it was only a story that the girl made up.

Shi Mengwan never gave up. All these years, she had been looking for Dear Brother.

She believed that what happened to her in that year was true and that Dear Brother was a real person. He kept her company during that year.

She had to find him. Su Qingsang understood her obsession but still felt that she should let it go.

Su Qingsang patted Su Mengwan's shoulder to comfort her, then said, "Never mind, let's go for dinner."

"Okay."

Shi Mengwan bit her lip, looking in the direction that the man disappeared. She still found it hard to believe he was not her Dear Brother.

He looked so much like Dear Brother, but he was so cold, so distant. Dear Brother could never look at her like that. He never would.

Perhaps she really was wrong.
