Chapter 167 I Met That Man
An Lian frowned in surprise, "You are so reckless, no one found out, right?"
Zeng Yichen was stunned for a moment, realizing that his sister-in-law's first reaction was to worry that he would be caught by someone. He smiled warmly and shook his head.
"No."
Although he was almost caught by his brother and they had a verbal battle, Zeng Yichen still subconsciously concealed the matter.
On the one hand, I don’t want my sister-in-law to worry.
On the other hand, he was also unwilling to speak up and make their relationship even more strained.
Although he supported his sister-in-law no matter what decision she made about the marriage, he was unwilling to be the one who added fuel to the fire.
After hearing his denial, An Lian breathed a sigh of relief and began to think, "The young man in black military uniform...if the photo is hidden in my father's study...then it is very likely that he is Commander Qi."
After she finished speaking, she looked up at Zeng Yichen, only to see that he was still frowning, "What's wrong? Anything else you found?"
Hearing this, Zeng Yichen looked up at An Lian, his eyes filled with confusion, and nodded slightly, "I've seen that man..."
An Lian's eyes widened in surprise, "You mean, you've met Commander Qi in person?"
But as soon as she finished speaking, An Lian immediately shook her head in self-denial, "Impossible..."
My mother-in-law said that Commander Qi was brutally murdered by my father-in-law, and not even a bone was left...
"Could it be... Commander Qi is still alive?" she blurted out in disbelief.
"Huh?" Zeng Yichen was frightened and asked, "Commander Qi... is dead?"
An Lian reacted and realized that she had let the cat out of the bag.
She never told him about this matter from beginning to end, because, when talking about Commander Qi's death, it is very likely that the cause of his death would be mentioned.
And the cause of his death...
She really couldn't bear to let the child suffer a series of blows in a short period of time.
Knowing that his beloved father was a heartless man who imprisoned his mother for her entire life was already a heavy blow. If he were to tell him that his seemingly righteous and loving father was actually a devil with a twisted mind and extremely cruel methods...
She couldn't bear it.
What's more, she didn't find any evidence, so she couldn't act rashly.
"After all, so many years have passed, and even such a high position has been erased, so I guess the person should be gone." An Lian explained naturally.
Zeng Yichen nodded thoughtfully, accepting this statement. Then he recalled the person in the photo and the man he met that day, and added in confusion,
"That's not the case... The man I saw looked exactly like the one in the photo..."
An Lian was stunned again.
Exactly the same?
How is that possible?
It has been almost 20 years now. Even if Commander Qi is still alive, how could he look exactly like in the photo?
"Could it be that you saw it wrong?" An Lian asked cautiously.
After all, no normal person can accept such illogical statements.
Zeng Yichen shook his head firmly, which was rare.
Whether it is the perfect facial features like sculptures, or the noble and awe-inspiring aura.
Putting aside the identity of his love rival, to be fair, he has only seen one perfect man like him in his life, so how could he make a mistake?
Seeing him shaking his head, An Lian was completely confused.
"Could he be... Commander Qi's son?" Zeng Yichen asked nervously. Even though it was far-fetched, it was the only answer he could think of.
"Impossible." This time it was An Lian who firmly denied it.
Because she remembered her mother-in-law saying that Commander Qi cared about the world and had no romantic feelings at all.
Even without an explanation, Zeng Yichen still believed his sister-in-law. Since she said it was impossible, there must be a reason why it was impossible.
However, this only far-fetched answer was also denied, and Zeng Yichen was completely puzzled.
If they are not father and son, how could there be two people in the world who look exactly the same?
"Where did you see that man? Do you know him?" An Lian suddenly asked again.
Zeng Yichen was stunned for a moment, and immediately looked deflated.
An Lian saw his expression and asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
"That man is the man Ji Baobao likes. He should also be the man who likes Ji Baobao..."
After all, I kissed her, how could I not like her?
An Lian was stunned, her mind a little confused. She spoke again: "Are you sure you look like the photo..."
But before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by a loud bang.
They both turned their heads at the same time to look in the direction of the sound, only to see that the double doors of the living room were slammed hard against the wall.
And the person standing at the door was Zeng Yan.
His expression was as cold as usual as he walked towards the two of them, looking at them with a cold gaze.
At that moment, a hint of fear inevitably flashed across An Lian's eyes.
Zeng Yichen was not afraid at all. He stood up facing Zeng Yan's scrutinizing gaze and smiled.
"Brother is back."
Zeng Yan stood less than two meters away from him, fixed his gaze on him, and after a moment he smiled naturally and said, "Well, why did Yichen come here today?"
Zeng Yichen raised the corner of his mouth in a scoundrelly manner: "Hey, hey, come and chat with sister-in-law when you are bored."
Zeng Yan's face remained calm, he just turned his gaze to An Lian beside him: "Why did you ask the servants to leave when you are chatting with Yi Chen?"
The physiological fear in An Lian's eyes had long disappeared, replaced by disgust for this endless suspicion.
His fingertips pinched the corner of his clothes in anger, his face became colder and colder, and he lowered his eyes to the ground, too lazy to look at Zeng Yan any more, let alone respond.
"Hmm? Lianlian? I'm asking you." Zeng Yan asked again without giving up, and at the same time moved forward to get closer.
"I let you do that."
Zeng Yichen, however, took a step to the side and blocked An Lian behind him.
Zeng Yan looked face to face at his younger brother, who was now as tall as him. On his youthful and somewhat immature face, there was a confidence and fearlessness that he had never experienced in his life...
The strong light, like a spear, ruthlessly pierced his dark heart.
Zeng Yan secretly clenched his fists, and all his jealousy suddenly surged into his mind like a fierce roar, instantly breaking through his defenses.
The jealousy was not only towards An Lian, but also towards his father's naked preference for Zeng Yichen over the years.
All the dark and vicious things that should not be seen in the light were left to him to do, but Zeng Yichen's innocence and kindness were carefully protected.
Not to mention my mother...even after 20 years, she would only hold Zeng Yichen's photo and reminisce about him, but she has never given me even the slightest warm smile.
The smile on Zeng Yan's face had disappeared without him noticing.
"why."
He said, and it was clearly a question, but it didn't sound like a question.
