Chapter 258 My brother is fine, my sister-in-law is here.

What did you just call me?

"Qiu Ze called and said he needs to talk to you." Shen Zhaoyi tossed her phone over. "He seems to be in a hurry. You should reply to him first."

After saying that, he sat down on the sofa opposite him.

Hearing her brother's name come out of her mouth, Qiu Yu instantly understood what was going on.

That rascal, he's really here to jinx him!

I was prepared to be honest, but unexpectedly, this unexpected turn of events occurred at the last minute.

Why would someone make a phone call in the middle of the night?

Qiu Yu inwardly groaned as she quickly unlocked the device.

My eyelids twitched involuntarily when I saw the two video call records on the chat interface.

Send Qiu Ze a message: 【What's up?】

Then he looked up and observed Shen Zhaoyi's expression not far away.

Very good, I can't tell anything.

Qiu Yu hesitated for a moment, then walked over and stood in front of her, quickly organizing his thoughts.

But when he opens his mouth, it becomes a dry, curt "Don't be angry."

"I'm not angry." Shen Zhaoyi calmly met his gaze.

I thought this face looked familiar at first glance, and now that I look at it, the brothers' eyebrows and eyes are indeed very similar.

It's just that Qiu Ze is still in puberty and his appearance hasn't fully developed yet.

Qiu Yu wasn't stupid, so she naturally wouldn't believe that. She thought she should apologize first and then explain, but just as she was about to speak, the other party raised his hand to interrupt her.

He instinctively shrank his neck, thinking he was about to get beaten up.

However, the slap did not land on him.

Shen Zhaoyi patted the empty seat next to him, gesturing for him to sit down.

Qiu Yu was a little confused by this unusual behavior. She awkwardly put her bottom on the sofa, and then a blanket was thrown over her and covered her up.

"What are you doing!" He rummaged around inside for a bit, found the edge, and poked his head out.

Shen Zhaoyi glanced at him.

Aren't you cold?

Qiu Yu's eyes lit up. "You care about me?"

Shen Zhaoyi didn't take the bait, but instead steered the conversation back on track, asking in return, "Did you know me all along?"

Seeing him nod with his lips pursed, I pressed him further:

Around when?

"At the end of April," Qiu Yu answered honestly, "you were taking Qiu Ze home at the entrance of the residential area."

Shen Zhaoyi hadn't forgotten about this matter.

But how did he find out about his relationship with Pei Yan?

There are also convoys.

That night at the club, it was obvious they were trying to get information out of me.

Qiu Yu dared not hide it any longer and confessed about the car race in S City in May.

Shen Zhaoyi's memories were stirred along with his words: car race, car race...

Wait, the man's outfit today flashed through her mind.

A floral shirt, big sunglasses, and if you add a mask, wouldn't that make all the difference?

Qiu Yu was sitting right behind her at the time. It wasn't that she had a particularly good memory, but rather that her strange attire left a deep impression on people.

Thinking about it this way, many things seem to make sense.

"So, all those times you went out to dinner with me and to the club were on purpose?"

Qiuyu was a little conflicted.

He wanted to say that the initial intention had already changed the moment he saw her car parked at the entrance of the club.

But with a strong survival instinct, he chose to downplay the issue at this moment and directly answered Shen Zhaoyi's words: "At that time, I just wanted to find out some information about Pei Yan from you."

"I really meant no harm."

"As for the fake name, it's because I'm afraid that if you know who I am, you'll tell him about it."

The "he" in question naturally refers to Pei Yan. Shen Zhaoyi raised an eyebrow: "Do I think I'm that bored?"

Qiu Yu pouted, her tone sour, and muttered under her breath, "Who knows..."

After all, the friendship between the two people involved in the race was much stronger than that between someone he had just met.

Shen Zhaoyi didn't want to discuss herself, so she shifted the topic back to the party at fault today.

"And then what happened? Didn't you ever think of being honest with me?"

Qiuyu remained silent.

Why didn't he think about it?
But every time they met, the timing was wrong.

Especially after what happened later, he was so focused on getting a title that he didn't care about his real identity anymore.

Shen Zhaoyi then posed one last question—

"If Qiu Ze hadn't made that call today, how long were you planning to keep this from me?"

As Qiu Yu spoke, she raised her head, her eyes urgent, trying to prove her "innocence": "To be honest, I was planning to explain things to you later."

Shen Zhaoyi looked at his current attire and was deeply suspicious.

From the moment he followed me back to the hotel until now, when we're almost at the point of being completely open with each other, there's not a single trace of him wanting to discuss serious matters.

If I hadn't discovered it myself, the two of them would probably be sleeping together by now.

Surely you're not planning to spoil the mood at that time?
Reaching out, Shen Zhaoyi pushed away Qiu Yu's ingratiating head as he leaned in. She felt she needed to calm down and think things through.

Feeling deceived is bound to cause anger.

The problem is that the two had just established their relationship, and upon closer examination, the issue of the fake name wasn't exactly a matter of principle.

It has to be admitted that Qiu Yu made the right bet.

If it were before, after Qiu Ze's phone call, his relationship with Shen Zhaoyi would probably have ended.

But the fact that we still have the opportunity to sit here and try to defend ourselves means that there is room for maneuver.

This realization put Qiuyu at ease.

An eerie silence fell over the room as the verdict was awaited.

My phone, which was on the bed, vibrated several more times.

But his attention was entirely focused on Shen Zhaoyi, and he had no time to pay attention to her at all.

After hanging up the phone, Qiu Ze immediately replied to Pei Yan.

My brother is fine; my sister-in-law is with him and looking after him.

Pei Yan didn't initially suspect Shen Zhaoyi, and simply asked, "Sister-in-law? Is he dating someone?"

Qiu Ze exclaimed, "Huh?"

【you do not know?】

Pei Yan felt confused. "Should I know?"

If he hadn't reflected on it afterwards and realized that he had indeed gone a bit too far during the day, he wouldn't have thought of asking someone about it.

Seeing his completely unaware reaction, Qiu Ze quickly sorted through the clues in his mind.

Finally, an even more terrifying conclusion was reached.

That is, my sister-in-law has become my sister-in-law.

The man who was selling the watch knew nothing about it.

He quickly sent a meme and then made a hasty escape.

"It's okay, bro. My signal's bad here. Let's talk tomorrow."

The strange reaction only made Pei Yan think more.

Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, for some reason, when he saw this address, Shen Zhaoyi's face popped into his mind.

Then I realized I was being a bit ridiculous.

How could that be? They're clearly people who have absolutely nothing in common.

But once the seeds of doubt take root, they will grow wildly.

He suddenly remembered that he had indeed seen Qiu Yu downstairs when he took Shen Zhaoyi back to the hotel yesterday.

I didn't pay attention at the time, but now that I think about it...

"Damn it!" Pei Yan jumped out of bed and stormed out the door.

There's one more chapter, but it's not finished yet. I'll add it later.
