Chapter 534: Chapter 527: Concealment
Cheng Shishiâs body turned to stone, her eyes flickering unsure where to look, her mouth twitching yet unable to utter a word.
"Shishi?" Bai Yiran shook her arm, "Whatâs wrong?"
"Huh? Ah?" Cheng Shishi snapped back to reality, looking at Bai Yiran with complicated eyes, "Big sis..."
"Shishi, quickly tell me on whom you saw this birthmark?"
Bai Yiran was very excited; the person with this snake-shaped birthmark must be Nawa. Because this snake-shaped birthmark, unlike a tattoo, is innate.
"I..." Cheng Shishi looked into Bai Yiranâs eyes, fear began to grow in her heart, her mind a chaotic mess. At this moment, Cheng Shishi felt like a small boat longing for the sea, yet encountering a tsunami, with the shore right behind, but inside thereâs a yearning for the mystery of the sea.
"Shishi?" Bai Yiran spoke again, her eyes bottomless as she looked at Cheng Shishi, "What did you think of?"
Cheng Shishi blinked, trying to appear normal, "I might have remembered wrong."
"Wrong?" Bai Yiran looked at Cheng Shishi skeptically.
"Yes!" Cheng Shishi nodded, her eyes unusually confident, "Big sis, I actually canât remember on whom I saw it, maybe I remembered wrong."
Bai Yiran stared at Cheng Shishi, seemingly trying to find a hint of panic in her eyes. Cheng Shishi had never been good at lying since she was young, Bai Yiran could often tell at a glance if she was lying.
Cheng Shishi kept her eyes open, letting Bai Yiran look at her. She knew Bai Yiran was trying to confirm if she was lying. Cheng Shishi couldnât help but clench her hands, her face remaining calm.
"Big sis, why are you looking at me like that?" Cheng Shishi smiled broadly, "Hurry and go back, Iâm hungry."
Bai Yiran gave Cheng Shishi a deep look, nodded in disappointment, "Letâs go."
Cheng Shishi quickly walked ahead of Bai Yiran, fearing she wouldnât be able to keep it up and would be found out. Her heart was racing frantically, and her thoughts were chaotic.
Just as they reached the bathroom door, Bai Yiran remembered she had more to ask Cheng Shishi, "Shishi, wait."
Cheng Shishi froze, not turning back, her eyes fixed ahead; if Bai Yiran were in front of her now, sheâd surely see her stiff expression.
"Is there something else?"
While washing her hands, Bai Yiran asked, "Are you still in contact with Wu Jingjing?"
Cheng Shishiâs body abruptly froze, "Big sis, how do you know?"
Bai Yiran turned off the faucet, "You lied to the family, you clearly said you wouldnât contact them again. If Uncle finds out and locks you up again, what then?"
Listening to Bai Yiranâs words, Cheng Shishi began to grow impatient, "I just occasionally text Wu Jingjing on WeChat, big sis, just mind your own business!"
Cheng Shishi had just walked out of the bathroom, but turned back to look at Bai Yiran, a strong warning on her face, "Big sis, youâd better not meddle, otherwise the family will go into chaos again, you surely donât want to see Dad and Mom really divorce, right?"
Bai Yiran was stunned, not expecting Cheng Shishi to say such things. "Cheng Shishi, do you know what youâre saying? If I werenât your sister, I wouldnât care at all!"
"Then donât care about me!" Cheng Shishi fled the bathroom; she knew she shouldnât talk to Bai Yiran like that, she knew Bai Yiran was doing it all for her own good.
Yet, when it came to matters involving Wu Chengzu, Cheng Shishi couldnât remain rational; she needed to sort out her thoughts clearly.
Could Wu Chengzu really be Nawa? If he truly is, what should she do then?
