983: Fang Qingtian's Suspicions

Fang Qingtian's Suspicions

Fang Qingtian still wanted to say more, but Wei Xiao dragged Chi Lingyan off. Fang Qingtian somewhat regretted offending the two families.1

He didn't have time to dwell on it, and immediately returned to his younger brother's residence.

Sure enough!

In Qingyang's residence, Fang Qingtian saw Shen Rongyin sitting on the sofa. Qingyang's considerate and gentle look made his right eyelid twitch. He didn't know if it was because of his previous exchange with Old Wei and Chi Lingyan, but no matter how he looked at it, Fang Qingtian felt that there was something wrong with Shen Rongyin.

Fang Qingyang called out, "Big Brother!"

Shen Rongyin also called out softly, "Commander Fang!"

Before Fang Qingtian could speak, Shen Rongyin's eyes turned red as she said, "Commander Fang, how is my family now? My parents, my brother… are they okay? Commander Fang, I really don't know anything about the flowerbed, nor does my family. Besides, my family wasn't the only ones who lived in that house!"

As soon as Shen Rongyin spoke, Fang Qingyang immediately echoed, "Big Brother, Rongyin is telling the truth. I can vouch for her!"

At that moment, Fang Qingtian found his younger brother displeasing to the eye, no matter how he looked at him. This kid said he could vouch for her? How? He really was blinded by the woman.

Fang Qingtian didn't want to or dare divulge anything as he looked at Shen Rongyin. Shen Rongyin sensed Fang Qingtian's gaze and generously let him stare.

Fang Qingyang was afraid that his brother had taken a fancy to Shen Rongyin, so he hurriedly blocked his line of sight. Fang Qingtian could see the thoughts on his brother's face, and the veins on his forehead bulged. Sometimes, he really didn't know if his brother was in his forties, or eighteen or nineteen.

Fang Qingtian retracted his gaze, and Fang Qingyang said, "Big Brother, help the Shen family and Rongyin. Those people spread those rumors because they're jealous of her. That girl surnamed Chi saw that Rongyin is close to that rascal, Chi Lingyan, and was afraid of Rongyin becoming her stepmother, so she did all this."

Fang Qingyang was very displeased as he said, "Rongyin doesn't think anything of the Chi family! Who does Chi Lingyan think he is?"

"Okay, shut up!" It would have been nice if Fang Qingtian hadn't said anything, but Fang Qingtian hadn't forgotten who had saved Qingyang's life back then. What right did this kid have to look down on the Chi family?

At that moment, Shen Rongyin suddenly said, "Regiment Commander Fang, don't take your anger out on Qingyang because of me. I did have a favorable impression of Captain Chi before, and I also wanted to get along well with his daughter. It seemed like she had a good impression of me; she even affectionately called me Aunt Shen. I thought that she really liked me, but I never thought, never thought…" At this point, Shen Rongyin choked up and continued, "I really never thought that not only does this child dislike me, she even made up those lies. If I'm not human, then what am I?"

When she said the last sentence, Shen Rongyin's tone was obviously mocking.

Fang Qingyang said directly, "I don't think that girl is a good person. She and her old man are both hypocritical!"

Fang Qingtian glared at his younger brother before he continued to stare at Shen Rongyin. After staring at her for a while, he couldn't see anything wrong with her. Besides, even if there really was something wrong with Shen Rongyin, could he directly ask her if she was human?

Fang Qingtian had initially been about 60 to 70% convinced, but it dropped to 50% in the blink of an eye. However, when he thought of the hundreds of human bones buried in the flowerbed at the Shen residence, Fang Qingtian's pupils shrank and there was still some fear in his eyes. He heard Shen Rongyin suddenly say, "Commander Fang, if I really am not human, would I be able to appear in broad daylight?"
