C144 Discern the Identity
After waitress left, Zheng Jinghao looked at Soong Shiyan with a puzzled expression and asked, "Jing Sung, you — how did you know that my cousin is allergic to mangoes?"
Actually, Soong Shiyan already regretted her words the moment they left her mouth. Now, when she heard Zheng Jinghao ask her, the smile on Soong Shiyan's face froze.
She was Soong Shiyan. Having known Lin Lang for so many years, she naturally knew that Lin Lang was allergic to mango fruits! Not only did she know that Lin Lang was allergic to mangoes, but she also knew that she didn't like apples, persimmons, pears, durian, strawberries, and cherries. She even knew all the things Lin Lang liked and disliked.
But now, she was no longer Soong Shiyan, but Jing Sung, a woman who had almost no connection with Lin Lang. Just now, she was indeed a bit impulsive and didn't even think about the consequences. Now, how could she explain these coincidences to Lin Lang and Zheng Jinghao?
Soong Shiyan also wanted to tell Lin Lang her true identity. However, the matter of her dead body returning to her soul was too unfathomable. If she hadn't experienced it personally, even she wouldn't have believed that such a bizarre thing existed in this world. Therefore, Soong Shiyan wasn't sure if Lin Lang would believe her.
Soong Shiyan smiled calmly, then calmly said to Zheng Jinghao, "Just now, when Young Master Zheng said 'Mango Mousse', I just happened to see Miss Lin's expression and it seemed to be slightly disgusted by it. "So, I was wondering if Miss Lin was allergic to mangoes, but Young Master Zheng didn't take it to heart."
Lin Lang looked inquiringly at Soong Shiyan. Then, her face darkened as she said to Soong Shiyan, "But, Miss Jing Sung, I feel that your explanation seems to be a bit far-fetched."
"This reason, is it far-fetched?" Soong Shiyan put her hand behind her ear and smiled as she said that.
"Even though my cousin looked a bit disdainful just now, according to the way people think, I think that it's because I don't like to eat mangos, not because I'm allergic to them … Or could it be that you've sent someone to investigate me, Miss Jing Sung?" Lin Lang's voice was somewhat cold.
Hearing this, Zheng Jinghao also looked at Soong Shiyan doubtfully. However, he did not say anything. He just sat quietly at the side, feeling the unusual atmosphere between Soong Shiyan and Lin Lang.
"Investigation?" Hearing this, Soong Shiyan couldn't help but smile. With her understanding of Lin Lang, did she still need to send people to investigate her? However, it seemed that this explanation was the most convincing.
Thinking about this, Soong Shiyan nodded calmly and said, "Yes, Miss Lin. I did send people to investigate you. Yesterday night, you suddenly popped up and gave me an indiscriminate slap. You aren't Yinn Haoming's wife, yet you still want to meddle in his affairs. Thus, I am a little curious. It should be within reason that I sent people to investigate you, right? "
Looking at Soong Shiyan's unperturbed expression, Lin Lang felt she could not refute a single word. She couldn't help but laugh in her heart. This Jing Sung really couldn't be underestimated.
Soong Shiyan drank her coffee and chatted with Zheng Jinghao nonchalantly. Lin Lang sat quietly at the side and occasionally joined in on their conversation. However, most of the time, she just stood by the side and looked at Soong Shiyan with a thoughtful expression.
"Young Master Zheng, Miss Lin, I need to go to the washroom first." Soong Shiyan said to Zheng Jinghao and Lin Lang who were sitting opposite her with a smile. Then she picked up her bag, stood up from her seat and walked towards the bathroom.
"Cousin, I'll go to the washroom as well. You can wait here for us." Seeing Soong Shiyan walk towards the bathroom, Lin Lang also stood up and said to Zheng Jinghao.
Soong Shiyan stood in front of the mirror and saw that Lin Lang had also entered the bathroom. She turned around and smiled at Lin Lang. "Miss Lin, what a coincidence."
Hearing this, Lin Lang also smiled and nodded at Soong Shiyan. She then stood in front of the mirror and took out some cosmetics from her bag, skillfully fixing her makeup. From the corner of her eyes, she was paying attention to Soong Shiyan's movements.
Soong Shiyan washed her hands carefully, pulled out a tissue, and wiped the water off her hands. She then put her hand under her phone to dry the water stains.
Soong Shiyan turned around to find Lin Lang staring at her with the lipstick in her hand, not moving at all.
"Miss Lin, why are you looking at me all the time? Is there something dirty on my face? " Soong Shiyan looked at Lin Lang with a puzzled expression. Afterwards, she carefully looked at herself in the mirror, but didn't find anything dirty on her face.
"Where on earth is there dirt on Miss Jing Sung's face?" I just think, Miss Jing Sung, you are a natural born beauty, you look good in any kind of clothes. "That's why I couldn't help looking at it more." Lin Lang snapped out of her daze and said to Soong Shiyan with a smile. However, her explanation seemed a bit far-fetched.
Hearing that, Soong Shiyan praised her sincerely, "Miss Lin, you're joking. "Miss Lin's skin is fair and her temperament is unparalleled. In front of you, I feel a little ashamed of my inferiority."
After a round of pleasantries, the two of them looked at each other in silence. Lin Lang turned her head and looked at herself in the mirror, casually mending her makeup.
Soong Shiyan planned to leave this place, but she felt that if she left now, she would seem a little cold. However, standing here didn't seem like a good choice. She thought about it for a while and decided to say something. Only then would she be able to avoid being so awkward with Lin Lang.
"Miss Lin, I heard that you were studying in France. Why would you suddenly think of returning to France?" Soong Shiyan asked.
Last night, when she saw Lin Lang in the bar, she was indeed very surprised. Lin Lang didn't want to marry Xue Zhaowu at all, so if nothing had happened, she definitely wouldn't have returned home. The last time Lin Lang came back, it was because "she" was married. But last time, it was because something happened to her and her Soong Family, even though Lin Lang and she had missed it that time.
"Didn't you already send someone to investigate me? How could I not know the reason for my return? " Lin Lang turned around, looked at Soong Shiyan, and said to her with a smile that was not a smile.
Soong Shiyan could not help but smile awkwardly. After some thought, she replied, "Miss Lin has only been back for two days, how could my men be so powerful? How did they find out the reason for your return in such a short period of time?"
"It's only going back to the country, what reason would there be? Miss Jing Sung, do you think so? " Lin Lang laughed out loud.
Even though Lin Lang and Soong Shiyan could be considered as friends if they didn't fight, at the moment, she didn't understand Soong Shiyan at all. So how could she possibly treat her so honestly?1
"Oh, that's true. I'm just returning back home, what reason is there to do so?" Soong Shiyan knew that Lin Lang didn't trust her at all, so she didn't poke her with her words.
"However, I'm curious about you, Miss Jing Sung, and the Young Master of Xue Family, Xue Zhaowu. What is your relationship?" Lin Lang didn't forget her purpose of seeing Soong Shiyan before today, so she pretended to be careless as she asked.
"Me and him? It doesn't matter, just that we met a few times before. " Soong Shiyan said. She and Xue Zhaowu had only met a few times. Although Xue Zhaowu likes Dijin, Dijin is Dijin and she is her. Even if they all had the same body, they were still not the same person.
"But from what I see, Xue Zhaowu seems to care a lot about you!" Lin Lang said with a smile, but her eyes never left Soong Shiyan's reaction.
Hearing that, Soong Shiyan couldn't help but laugh out loud. She looked at Lin Lang in the mirror and said, "Miss Lin, don't worry. I really have no relationship with Xue Zhaowu."
"Although it's true that you two are not related, Xue Zhaowu likes you." Lin Lang said with some certainty.
Hearing this, Soong Shiyan looked into Lin Lang's eyes and discovered that there was an unexplainable glint in them.
Seeing this, Soong Shiyan couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. Could it be that something happened between Lin Lang and Xue Zhaowu during his absence? Or could it be that Lin Lang had already fallen for Xue Zhaowu?
It couldn't be denied that Xue Zhaowu was an outstanding man. Lin Lang had never liked anyone before, so it was not surprising that she liked such an outstanding man like Xue Zhaowu.
Then, last night, Lin Lang went to the bar to see Xue Zhaowu. Was it to cancel the engagement, or was it because she liked him? If it was because he liked it, what could he do? After all, the person Xue Zhaowu liked was Dijin.
But, if Lin Lang really liked Xue Zhaowu, then she would have returned the keepsake to the Xue Family long ago.
Soong Shiyan's mind was in a mess. She couldn't control herself from saying, "But, didn't you dislike Xue Zhaowu?"
"Who said I don't like him?" Lin Lang looked at Soong Shiyan with a serious expression.
"Didn't you give the keepsake to …"
Soong Shiyan suddenly came back to her senses. How could she say such words? She immediately swallowed the rest of her words, but it seemed like it was already too late.
"A keepsake?" What keepsake is this? " Lin Lang looked at Soong Shiyan as she put down the lipstick in her hand.
Soong Shiyan rolled her eyes at herself. In the past, Lin Lang had relied on her being a year older than him, so she always made him call her older sister. Soong Shiyan, who had no siblings, naturally relied on Lin Lang and liked to tell her the secrets in her heart. After a while, Soong Shiyan could no longer hide anything in front of Lin Lang.
Now, even though Soong Shiyan had experienced so many painful things, she was still unable to change her habit.
Soong Shiyan looked at Lin Lang and feigned ignorance as she asked, "Ah? "Miss Lin, what are you talking about? I don't know."
Lin Lang grabbed Soong Shiyan's hand and stared into her eyes. She called hesitantly, "Shiyan?"
Hearing this, Soong Shiyan's entire body froze. The bag in her hand uncontrollably fell to the ground. She looked at Lin Lang, her lips trembling. She was extremely excited, but she didn't know how to reply. How did Lin Lang guess his identity? How could he explain this to her? Soong Shiyan was still hesitant.
However, just the thought of admitting her identity would prevent Lin Lang from continuing to use her. Soong Shiyan eventually forced herself to admit it. "Lin Lang, you … how did you know it was me?"
Hearing this, Lin Lang's face was full of tears. She looked at Soong Shiyan and could not hold it in any longer. She hugged her tightly in her arms, crying like the rain. "Shiyan, tell me, this, what exactly is going on?"
