Miss Si's feigned innocence went too far, and the aloof Mr. Bo was easily swayed.

Ah Yuan—

Si Yuan—

The moment the name was uttered by Bo Yusen, Ji Yuting and Gu Mingyue's expressions turned increasingly grim.

Ji Yuting never expected that Bo Yusen would not only disobey her, but also mention Si Yuan's name on the anniversary of Bo Qinghe's death.

Her eyes were icy, her chest heaving with anger. "Bo Yusen, take back what you said!"

Bo Yusen glanced at Ji Yuting indifferently, "What's done is done. How can you take back what's been said? Besides... even if you could take back the words, you can't take back my love for Si Yuan."

"you……"

Ji Yuting glanced at Gu Mingyue beside her, whose face was ashen and whose body was stiff, and frowned deeply.

Ji Yuting originally intended to finalize the matter between Bo Yusen and Gu Mingyue in front of Bo Qinghe today.

She never expected that her son would give her such a big "surprise".

"I think you've gone mad. Of all the people you could love, why did you have to fall for..."

In front of Gu Mingyue, Ji Yuting did not want to talk about the Bo family's shameful affairs.

"Fine... Since you're so stubborn, then I'll make my stance clear: I will not acknowledge anyone other than Mingyue as my Bo family's daughter-in-law."

Ji Yuting looked at Gu Mingyue, "Mingyue, let's go."

Gu Mingyue clenched her fists tightly, her eyes reddening.

On her birthday, she sensed that Bo Yusen treated Si Yuan very differently, and it turned out that it wasn't just her imagination.

They grew up together and were considered the perfect couple by everyone.

But she knew in her heart that Yu Sen's feelings for her were at most those of a friend and childhood buddy, and there was no romantic love between them.

She had mentioned to him countless times, half-jokingly and half-seriously, that if they were both still single after the age of twenty-eight, they might as well get together.

He never responded to her, and his attitude towards her was always polite but restrained.

She thought Yusen was cold and aloof, and that no woman could ever enter his heart.

Unexpectedly, he had someone he deeply loved.

And that woman...

At the age of five, she stole all of Yusen's attention and affection.

Later, the Bo family had a scandal, and they separated for so many years.

They thought they would never cross paths again, but unexpectedly, they got back together after all the twists and turns.

If we say that when they were children, Bo Yusen's feelings for Si Yuan were simply affection and doting on her, then...

Now...

It refers to love between men and women.

Moreover, Yu Sen completely disregarded her feelings and thoughts, cared nothing for the rumors circulating outside, and paid no attention to Aunt Ji...

That damned Si Yuan, what kind of bewitching potion did she give Yu Sen?!

no--

Whether for her own sake, for Yusen's reputation, or for their future, she absolutely could not stand by and watch Yusen jump into the fire.

After the two left.

Bo Yusen looked at Bo Qinghe's name on the tombstone. "Dad... A Yuan has grown up. Although she has a lot more thoughts and flaws now than when she was a child, I still like her very much when I see her. I just want to be good to her and don't want to care about anything else."

Mentioning Si Yuan, Bo Yusen couldn't help but smile.

As if remembering something, the smile on his lips gradually disappeared.

"But she doesn't seem to remember you. But that's okay. I'll bring her to see you when I have the chance."

Bo Yusen, who rarely speaks, rambled on for a few moments in front of his father's tombstone.

Si Aofu's words made Si Yuan very concerned.

She never imagined that she would be involved in Bo Qinghe's death, and that an aunt she had never heard of would appear.

This kind of lie is easy to expose.

Therefore, Si Aofu did not lie to Si Zhixia at least on this point.

But why doesn't she remember anything?

Si Yuan's head was throbbing with pain.

Overthinking isn't in her nature; instead of getting caught up in it, it's better to investigate the matter thoroughly.

But she couldn't find anything on her own.

So, Si Yuan contacted Gu Yinhe.

"You've come to the right person, but... are you sure you want to hear it?"

"Sure!"

"Okay, let's meet and talk."

When Si Yuan went to see Gu Yinhe, she received a WeChat message from Bo Yusen.

Is it over? I'll come pick you up.

Si Yuan took a deep breath and replied to the message, "I'm a little busy right now. I'll come find you when I'm done."

Okay, I'll wait for you at home.

Si Yuan and Gu Yinhe arranged to meet at an elegant and quiet coffee shop.

When Si Yuan arrived, Gu Yinhe hadn't come yet. After waiting for a while, Gu Yinhe finally arrived late.

"Sorry, I ran into my sister when I came out. Have you been waiting long?"

Si Yuan smiled and shook her head, "No... I just arrived too..."

Gu Yinhe was startled when she saw Si Yuan's face. "Holy crap, what did you do? Why does your face look so scary?"

"It's alright... Please sit down. I ordered you a cappuccino, is that alright?"

"Um……"

Gu Yinhe sat on the sofa, picked up his coffee and took a couple of sips. "Tsk, this place is just so-so."

Si Yuan stared at Gu Yinhe, "Yinhe, you said you know about the feud between the Bo family and the Si family?"

Gu Yinhe put down her coffee cup and waved her finger at Si Yuan. "No, to be precise, there's only resentment, no gratitude."

Si Yuan's heart tightened slightly. "What grudge?"

Gu Yinhe beckoned to Si Yuan with her finger. Seeing her mysterious expression, Si Yuan got up and went over to sit next to her.

"Your aunt Si Zhixia interfered in Uncle Bo and Aunt Ji's marriage..."

Gu Yinhe told Si Yuan these things because Si Yuan wasn't the Si family's biological daughter.

"I heard that Si Zhixia is very beautiful and very clever. Uncle Bo is completely infatuated with her and often goes out to meet her in secret."

"And when they meet in secret, Si Zhixia always brings one of her nieces. You didn't know that, so it must be Si Aofu who Si Zhixia brings..."

"Si Aofu often acted as a lookout for the two of them. It has to be said, Si Zhixia is quite capable. During that time, Uncle Bo was going to divorce Aunt Ji..."

"Of course, before the divorce was finalized, they were in a car accident. Si Zhixia, Uncle Bo, and the driver all died. Only Si Aofu survived in that car."

Si Yuan felt as if someone had poured a bucket of cold water on her, chilling her from head to toe.

Her fingertips trembled uncontrollably as she gripped the corner of the tablecloth tightly, her knuckles turning white and even slightly bluish from the force.

She opened her mouth, wanting to speak, but her throat felt like it was blocked by something, and she couldn't make a sound. Only her rapid and weak breathing proved that she was still struggling to process the news.

Gu Yinhe's words partially overlapped with Si Aofu's, namely that when the car accident occurred, in addition to Bo Qinghe and the driver, there were also Si Zhixia and a little girl in the car.

The difference is that Si Aofu said Si Zhixia was Bo Qinghe's first love.

Gu Yinhe said that Si Zhixia was the third party between Bo Qinghe and Ji Yuting.

Another difference is that Gu Yinhe believes the little girl is Si Aofu, while Si Aofu says it is her.

In the past, Si Yuan would have believed Si Aofu's words without question, but now, she was uncertain...

Could it be that Si Aofu is deliberately impersonating her because she hates her?

Gu Yinhe patted Si Yuan on the shoulder, "That's why I have a bad impression of the Si family. But I didn't expect that Si Aofu would start covering for Uncle Bo and her aunt at such a young age. She's utterly despicable."

"Bang bang bang—"

Si Yuan's heart was pounding rapidly, her palms and back were covered in sweat, and an unprecedented fear and unease welled up inside her.

Was Si Aofu really the one covering for Si Zhixia and Bo Qinghe?
