Who moved her body?
Chapter 48 A Woman of Unknown Origin
Guan Jie smiled calmly, "It's just luck; Young Master is a lucky man."
"You're being modest."
Dr. Chen put on his glasses, picked up the phone on the table, and said after the call connected, "Come up here for a moment and bring the key to the front door."
Soon, Zhang Jun, who was in charge of security, walked in with a key to the main gate.
"Give the key to Zhao Ren," Dr. Chen said.
Guan Jie took the keys, nodded his thanks to Dr. Chen, and left.
Dr. Chen said, "Pay attention to this Zhao Ren, I think there's something wrong with him."
"Should we find a chance to get rid of him?"
Dr. Chen shook his head. "There's no evidence yet, so let's not touch him for now."
……
As Guan Jie left Dr. Chen's study and turned right to go downstairs, Shan Shan came down from the third floor. Her light blue three-quarter sleeve top hung loosely and casually on her body, and her red tight pants boldly outlined her captivatingly beautiful legs. Guan Jie only glanced at her, and the restlessness in his chest was like that night after his engagement to Song Xiaoxian, constantly hitting his limits.
The chain on Shan Shan's wrist seemed to occupy all her attention, and she didn't stop fiddling with the red agate on the chain until they were almost on the second floor.
When Guan Jie's gaze met Shan Shan's, the countless questions in his mind were replaced by a simple "hello".
Shan Shan paused for a moment, subconsciously raised her hand to touch her earlobe, said nothing, and drifted past Guan Jie.
His hands trembled helplessly until Shan Shan's footsteps disappeared. Only then did Guan Jie come to his senses and curse himself, "Idiot, why didn't I ask!"
"You should ask her if it's Song Xiaoxian." Guan Jie walked downstairs in frustration, his mind filled with images of Shan Shan.
"No, she's not Song Xiaoxian." Guan Jie told himself, "Xiaoxian is dead. Her behavior just now clearly showed that she didn't recognize me."
Guan Jie returned to his room and carefully recalled the expression on Shan Shan's face when they were face to face.
At that moment, Shan Shan looked slightly surprised but not excited, though something clearly flashed in her eyes.
What was that? Guan Jie couldn't figure it out for a moment.
Xu Haiyang once said that Shanshan's background was unclear and that she had undergone plastic surgery. Guan Jie connected Xu Haiyang's words with Shanshan and became increasingly convinced that this Shanshan was Song Xiaoxian.
But if this Shanshan is Song Xiaoxian, then who was the person who died five years ago?
Can the dead come back to life?
He clearly remembered that five years ago, Song Xiaoxian stopped breathing. He watched with his own eyes as Song Xiaoxian was sent to the morgue, and he also personally took Song Xiaoxian's ashes and buried her.
If it's all a dream, am I awake or dreaming right now?
Guan Jie ran his hands into his hair, feeling like he was about to split apart.
Half of them believe Song Xiaoxian is still alive, while the other half say that Song Xiaoxian is already dead.
Guan Jie turned on the tap, letting the cold water flow over the back of his head, down his hair, over his forehead, and into the drain. He needed to calm down.
……
After lunch, Xu Haiyang lay on the three-seater sofa, drooling, holding the latest edition of the photo book of the young lady. Papaya brought ice cream from the kitchen and gave it to Xu Haiyang and Guan Jie.
Guan Jie remained seated on the single sofa, his eyes fixed on Shan Shan, who occasionally appeared in the rest area.
Xu Haiyang closed the photo album, sat up, and ate ice cream. He saw Guan Jie staring at Shan Shan, who was waking up from the water, so he threw the photo album into Guan Jie's arms.
"Try looking at this to calm down. Don't get any funny ideas about that one outside, or you'll regret it."
Papaya was engrossed in eating when Xu Haiyang said this, and he noticed that Guan Jie was looking at Shanshan, looking surprised.
Guan Jie closed the photo album and placed it on the coffee table, laughing awkwardly. "Everyone wants to take a look at a beautiful woman. I'm just looking. Boss, look, I'm looking through the glass. Nobody else knows."
"Don't blame me for not warning you, this woman is my cousin's exclusive possession. My cousin has invested countless hours and resources in her. If you ruin this masterpiece, my cousin will make you wish you were dead." Xu Haiyang turned to look at Shanshan, who was lying under the parasol, stretching out her legs to rest, and said, "Who knows if a woman of unknown origin is a demon or a ghost? Men, be careful."
Papaya swallowed a mouthful of ice cream and shivered, saying, "Miss Shanshan is no monster or demon at all. Boss, you're really joking."
"Are you kidding? Do you even know where Shanshan lives or who her parents are?"
The papaya shook its head.
"That woman was suddenly brought back to the island by Dr. Chen, who knows where she came from. Not only is her origin unknown, but she also claims to have always been with her cousin, and even his lover, saying she lost part of her memory in a car accident and that's why she doesn't remember anyone else." Xu Haiyang pouted and said disdainfully, "She lies as smoothly as eating. I think she's just a vixen."
Guan Jie, who was quietly eating ice cream, immediately asked upon hearing the word "car accident," "Shan Shan was in a car accident?"
"Who knows? Maybe it's fake. But it's true she's had plastic surgery. Didn't you notice she's had work done on her face?"
"When did she arrive at Desert Rock Island?"
"When? Let me think." Xu Haiyang looked up and thought for a while before saying, "About five years ago. I remember she came at the end of October because I went to Beijing for National Day that year, and when I came back at the end of the month, I saw her with my cousin."
"Was she like this back then?" Guan Jie asked.
"Pretty much. When I first saw her, her face was a little swollen, and I could tell at a glance that she had just had plastic surgery." Xu Haiyang shook his head again and said, "My cousin also told me that whatever Shanshan said was the truth. That's when I fell out of favor. My cousin used to love me the most."
Guan Jie fell into deep thought.
Song Xiaoxian was in a car accident on July 22nd, five years ago, and three months later, Shanshan appeared out of nowhere on the desolate island. Is this a coincidence?
Song Xiaoxian was in a car accident and suffered facial injuries. If Shanshan is indeed Song Xiaoxian, then she has no choice but to undergo plastic surgery. Shanshan has lost part of her memory, which means the car accident caused her amnesia. If that's the case, then it completely explains why Shanshan didn't recognize Guan Jie when she saw him earlier.
Guan Jie was extremely excited.
Xu Haiyang stared at Guan Jie suspiciously and asked, "Why are you asking her so many questions? You're not really up to something, are you?"
"No, no, how could I dare?" Guan Jie quickly denied.
"I bet you wouldn't dare either." Xu Haiyang leaned over and waved to Guan Jie and Mu Gua. When they got close, he told them with a gossipy expression, "She looks so glamorous, but she's actually sick."
"Sick? What kind of sickness?" Papaya opened her mouth wide.
"I don't know. If I knew, what would be the point of having Dr. Chen? Anyway, Dr. Chen is here to watch over her, in case she has a seizure and dies."
After saying that, Xu Haiyang continued to lie down, folding his hands on his stomach and humming an obscene tune.
"By the way, Zhao Ren, did you go get the keys?"
"Okay, I took it."
Xu Haiyang continued to coax Xiaodiao, while Guan Jie stood up and put away the three ice cream bowls.
"I'll go take the bowl to the kitchen."
Xu Haiyang's words filled Guan Jie with many thoughts.
In the end, Guan Jie concluded that the mysteriously appearing Shan Shan was his childhood sweetheart, Song Xiaoxian.
……
"Boss, how about we grill some barbecue ourselves tonight?" Guan Jie asked as he returned from the kitchen.
"Why do you suddenly want to eat barbecue? Isn't it too hot to eat barbecue on such a hot day?" Papaya thought Guan Jie's suggestion was not feasible.
Xu Haiyang yawned and smacked his lips a few times.
"To be honest, I'm actually starting to crave it. Okay, Zhao Ren, go to the kitchen and tell them to prepare the ingredients for me. We'll cook it ourselves this afternoon."
