Chapter 321: Doubts of the Xiao Sisters

Okay, let's do that. We'll wait patiently downstairs. What's wrong? You just told me you saw something—what did you see?

Just now I seemed to have seen Geng Jing Shu.

What? You saw Geng Jing Shu? Where did you see her?

Xiao Yuchun spoke while glancing around, but the place was crowded with traffic, and there was no sign of Geng Jing Shu.

I just saw her come down from the elevator inside.

What are you saying? The elevator inside? This, this isn't the Bin Guan?

Yes, the rooms upstairs are the Bin Guan's, and there are no other facilities—it's all lodging.

Impossible, did you mistake her? Why would Geng Jing Shu be fine and come here? Impossible, impossible.

Sister, I really did see her, and do you remember that coat? Last year we bought that plaid wool coat together with him.

I remember, we said she looked very elegant in it, and it made her skin look fairer—could she be wearing that coat?

Yes, that's the coat, and judging from her back view and attire, I concluded it must be Geng Jing Shu.

After hearing that, Xiao Yuchun merely furrowed her brow.

She also felt it strange—Geng Jing Shu appearing at this time and place is indeed somewhat abnormal.

I'm telling you, these words must not be spoken carelessly; moreover, as the saying goes, 'heaven knows, earth knows, you know, I know'—until we investigate thoroughly, we must not speak recklessly, understood?

Oh, I know, and just now, to verify this, I even called her specially, but unfortunately she wasn't at home.

In other words, she was outside just now, right?

Yes, she was outside, so I'm suspicious—if she were really at home, wouldn't all this be a misunderstanding?

Then, after Geng Jing Shu came out, did you never see her face at all?

No, I never saw her front.

That's really odd—what on earth is going on? Could it be that her friends, or someone else, are here in this place?

This is hard to explain; besides, as far as I know, all her friends are in this city—how could they come to the Bin Guan?

You're not suspecting something, are you?

I'm just worried, and indeed I have some doubts, so I don't know what to do for now.

As for what to do, this matter isn't something we can resolve ourselves; if we want to clarify it, we must first confirm whether this person is her.

But how should we confirm that?

Speaking, Xiao Yuchun looked inside and saw a large camera directly above.

Yes, a camera—if she appears here, perhaps we could capture something from this spot.

But upon further thought, it seems somewhat improper.

Sister, I'm not saying this place can't be filmed, but the key issue is we don't know when he arrived here.

Isn't that simple? Just call the elder brother, and then we'll know when she appeared.

Elder brother? Can he know?

Now we can't worry about that much, and only after asking him can we know when he finally disappeared.

Okay, then I'll make the call.

Forget it—your hesitant speech won't clarify things; if the elder brother asks a couple of questions and we get tangled, it'll be trouble, and we must not wrongly accuse anyone, you know?

Alright, then you make the call.

Xiao Jingrou nodded, then watched Xiao Yuchun take out her phone.

The phone connected quickly.

Yuchun? Where are you? Weren't you still abroad?

Hehe, elder brother, we've already returned.

What? Returned? When did you return?

You're the elder brother, yet you don't even know when we returned—we came back last night.

Last night? No, I was at home last night and didn't see you.

We didn't go home last night; we stayed at my studio all night, and we had an order that had to be rushed out.

Oh, I see—if you're returning today, will you go back tonight? If so, I'll tell Dad; gee, that's bold—I guess Dad won't have time either, and I might not be able to leave either.

It's fine—I know your company is busy, so I didn't ask you to host a welcome party; I just wanted to ask if you've seen my sister-in-law.

Your sister-in-law? She was still at the company this morning.

Oh, at the company? Are you together with her? So are you still together now?

No, I don't have time to be with her; she said she was rushing a document at the company, and only left around noon.

How do you know she left at noon? You haven't been with her all along, have you?

Oh, when she left she called me; I thought, yes, it was 12:30, and at 12:30 she was still at the company.

Oh, okay, I get it.

What's up? Are you looking for her for some reason?

Nothing much—we just wanted to see if my sister-in-law was home; we called home earlier and the servant said nobody was there.

Oh, I see—should I call her and have her get back to you?

No need—I brought a gift for my sister-in-law here, so I wanted to give it to her early; go ahead and attend to your affairs.

Okay, we'll keep in touch later.

After Xiao Yunzhe finished speaking, he hung up, and the call didn't arouse any suspicion in him.

Actually, it was just a normal call; basically there was nothing worth scrutinizing.

How was it? How was it? What did the elder brother say on his end?

He said, at noon he was still in the company, but if that's the case, now it's six in the evening—there are six hours between.
