Leon’s mobile phone was powered off. Maybe it was required by flight rules or simply he just didn’t want anyone to reach him.
I guessed his mood must be really down.
He collected all the items relating to Nan Lin, which was well demonstrating his deep affection for her.
But every time as Nan showed up, she kept lying to him all the time. As He is such an arrogant person and this sense of frustration must hurt him badly, undoubtedly.
Even though he is a fierce beast, he still needs time to heal the wound.
I called Xuanlong again, he answered quickly this time. He said he was in the hospital right now, taking charge of all the things relating to Nan.
I said I had some words to say to her, and after asking him the address, I took a cab and went there.
Xuanlong received me at the hospital gate, saying he was about to tell me something important.
We went to a nearby restaurant instead of going to the hospital directly. I indeed feel hungry because I haven’t ate anything yet this morning.
I sat down and faced the restaurant door. Xuanlong motioned me to change the seat.
He said, “You are the lady of the Hua Family. You’d better not come to such a low-end place to eat noodles any more. If you really want to, don’t come in peak hours. Remember to wear sunglasses and a mask, in case others may recognize you. If you are photographed by gossip journalists, they would slander that the Hua Family is in the economic crisis now… This would probably have a negative effect on the Hua Family. ”
I nodded, ” You’re right. But actually I’m not the so-called lady, I just have the name.”
“Even though it’s just nominal. As long as you’re still together with Fourth Brother, you have to watch out these details. Actually, Fourth Brother never minds these, but other people in Hua Family do. If you misbehave, it would become the weapon for them to attack Fourth Brother.” Xuanlong said.
I nodded once again.
Xuanlong pulled out a card form his wallet and handed to me, “This is given by Fourth Brother and there are 3 million dollars in it. You don’t have money now, you can use this card as you you wish to buy anything you want. Don’t buy too cheap clothes. You know it’s a matter of dignity after all. Anyway you need to behave like a lady of the Hua family.”
“I don’t need his money. I will find a job and support myself.”
“You don’t have to do this. You have the right to use Fourth Brother’s money since you’re his wife. And also, there are some necessities for child. By the way, if you become a clerk of a small company , it’s something like slapping the face of Fourth Brother and the Hua Family. So you could as well give up finding a job. No one dares to hire you.”
I found these words were tricky, “Xuanlong, I’ve been looking for job for a long time. I did pass some interviews, but there was no further contact anymore. Can’t be Leon behind this? ”
Xuanlong didn’t answer directly, “Fourth Brother would never allow you to work for somebody else, neither would the Hua Family. Old words, nobody would hire you.”
“I ‘m a free person first, even if I’m the wife of Leon! I deserve to have my own life.”
Xuanlong shook his head, “Not exactly so, there is no absolute freedom in this world. You must lose something if you want to earn something. It’s impossible for you to live the old life like before. If you really need a job, you can work in Fourth Brother’s company. Fourth Brother couldn’t get into the board of directors this time, meaning that people behind were watching over you and him all along. Please don’t make mistakes anymore. Or you will get Fourth Brother into unnecessary troubles.”
“So you mean that, the case of Bo Ma, there was someone framing Leon on purpose? Then Leon had to keep a low-key temporarily? ”
Xuanlong agreed, “That’s for sure. Otherwise how could a traffic accident get Fourth Brother involved so fast? After the accident, the police found out within several hours that the victim had been beaten by Fourth Brother. it is impossible that the police can be so efficient, unless someone had told them beforehand.”
“Then it must be Nan Lin! It must be Nan who is behind this! She knows all the things!” I felt agitated then.
“But Nan was in a deep coma, and had just woken up. It’s impossible for her to provide clues to the police during that time. And why would she do that? There’s no good for her if she brings down Fourth Brother.” Xuanlong said.
I couldn’t answer that question indeed, considering Nan really has no such motive.
“So it was taken advantage of by Leon’s enemy this time? Or it was planned by his enemy in the beginning? If it was planned in advance, then Nan must have been involved. Because this ‘Nan Lin’ is fake!”
“Fake?” Xuanlong stopped eating noodles and looked up at me.
“Yeah. This Nan’s original name is Lili Huang. She and Bo Ma used to be a couple. Lili Huang not only got photos of Nan but also knew stories between Nan and Leon. So she got plastic surgery and pretended to be Nan and got close to Leon. She was similar to Nan in appearance, so it was easy. Such an impostor, of course, can’t be trusted.”
Xuanlong understood, “If that’s the case, many things can make sense. Say, why did Bo assault Fourth Brother? That’s because he thought Fourth Brother grabbed her woman. And why did Nan pretend to have amnesia? That’s because she may not know all the details even she knew some stories between Nan and Leon. Therefore, she had to pretend her losing the memories to get away with it.”
Xuanlong is such a brilliant person that he seized the point immediately.
” Right, that’s it!”
“But this is only your side of story. There isn’t any evidence to prove this Nan is an impostor. Fourth Brother would never believe anyone’s word unless evidence be shown and it has to be solid evidence.”
“Now Bo is dead, where else can I find solid evidence? Unless Nan admits she is fake on her own, which seems unlikely…” I was depressed.
“But Bo might not tell the truth. It’s also his side of story. He didn’t provide any proof to show Nan was fake, either. What if he was the one who made up lies?”
I was perplexed after Xuanlong asked that.
Xuanlong is really Leon-style, not believing others, just believing evidence. However, not all the things in this world can be proved.
I was even more depressed, “I intended to make you remind Leon that Nan was fake. It seems no need to do so. He would not believe, even disgust me more, thinking Nan was hurt badly and I was slandering her.
“Indeed it is. You’d better not mention it in the future without any evidence to support it.”
“I can find the evidence.” I said unwillingly.
Evidence will be exposed in the end. Fourth Brother had realized that there was something strange about this Nan Lin before, but he would not jump to conclusion before figuring out everything. After all, Nan is really important to him.”
Xuanlong’s words ‘Nan is important to Leon’ kept hovering over my ears so many times that I was bored to listen to him any more.
I’m jealous from my heart. I don’t want to listen to him saying like this, though I know it’s the truth.
“As long as I can find opportunities to prove where this ‘Nan’ came from and where she had got the plastic surgery, then I can prove that she is not the real Nan Lin. Since she had been living in her original identity ‘Lili Huang’ for a long time, I believe there should be clues. I will find evidence to prove it.” I said determinedly.
Xuanlong nodded his head, ” Put the card away. I believe you will prove it. But remember don’t be rash and reckless. If there is anything I can help, feel free to let me know.”
“… I want to have a look at Nan, can I? ”
Xuanlong seemed reluctant hearing this.
“Please be assured. I won’t hurt her. I just want to ask her a few questions.”
