[Pretender] Makoto Honya

Ruyuan successfully brought Ming Jing back to Qiao's house, but fainted when she got home because of being too excited.

"Mingtai, don't be afraid, sister will save you..."

Standing by the bed and listening to Ming Jing's dream talk, Ruyuan's eyes were a little red. This kind of heart for her younger brother is so similar to her elder brother.

"Second Miss, are you injured? Hurry up and treat the wound!"

Following the servant's gaze, Ruyuan found some bruised knees.On the way home, he was always worried about Ding Jing's mood, but he didn't notice it.

She nodded, told her servants to take good care of her, and went back to her room to treat the wound.If the eldest brother comes back and sees her injured, he will probably feel uncomfortable.

*****

Qiao Baizhou didn't care about the big and small matters of the Qiao family, but he couldn't hide anything from him.

In the garden, he looked at Ruyuan sitting in front of him as if nothing had happened, and glanced at her indifferently.

"You have nothing to say to me?"

"Isn't everything about Sister Mingjing finished?"

Ruyuan was taken aback, not knowing what the elder brother was asking.

Qiao Baizhou turned his head to look at her, and looked her up and down.

"You don't plan to tell me, why did you change into trousers today when you usually only wear skirts?"

Ruyuan smiled flatteringly, knowing that she couldn't hide it from her elder brother, she turned her eyes and glanced at the Qiao's mansion not far away.

"Brother, it's rare to be confused. You see, I didn't even ask the person who lives in your mansion. Can you just pretend you don't know what I want to keep from you?"

"You!"

Qiao Baizhou glared at her, concerned her angrily, "Is the injury serious?"

Ruyuan shook her head obediently, turned up her trousers, showed him the wound, and reassured him.

He stretched his head to see that the wound was not even covered with gauze, so it was indeed not serious, so he felt relieved.

"With regard to Manli, you should be able to guess my plan. Before Mingtai was arrested, he searched for the body, but he couldn't find it. I have already bribed the person from No. 76 to confirm her death."

Qiao Baizhou never dared to underestimate the wisdom of his younger sister, and of course he never doubted that she would forget her brother when she saw sex. After so many years of living together, he was still very confident in his position in his sister's heart.

"I know brother, I will pretend not to know, and I won't mention it to the Ming family."

Although Ruyuan didn't know the specific plan of her elder brother, she thought it would not hurt anyone. Not to mention that this was a trivial matter, even if it was a major event, she had no intention of betraying her elder brother.

"But brother, what kind of feelings do you have for Man Li? If you don't love her, why do you do so much for her?"

Qiao Baizhou sighed and smiled wryly.

"Ruyuan, do you know what kind of person your father is?"

Ruyuan was taken aback, Qiao Chujiu's talent in business is still talked about so far, the eldest brother must not be asking about this.

Qiao Baizhou thought of his mother who was alone in the empty boudoir, and his resentment towards his flirtatious father, feeling guilty and sighing.

"I think, I'm probably really like our father. I don't know how to love, I don't know how to love, and I can't love anyone exclusively. So seeing Yu Manli loving Mingtai as if she were treating faith, I am very sad. Envious, I really want to fulfill her."

Ruyuan was taken aback for a moment, the memory of her parents was too rare for her, she only knew that what was as famous as his father's business talent was his numerous wives and concubines.

"Ruyuan, everyone says that you love Mingcheng, and everyone has seen that you have done too much for him, and everything is so shocking. I admit that you like him and want to be with him, but the elder brother asks you, do you want to be with him?" How much do you love him?"

Ruyuan was shocked, and looked at her elder brother in disbelief, as if the deepest secret hidden in her heart had been torn apart, flustered and at a loss.

Qiao Baizhou didn't seem to notice her embarrassment, and uncovered all the hidden schemes in her heart.

"Our Qiao family is the best at disguising. Like your sister, she is only using her identity as an American to get a stable life, but she makes him feel that she loves him with her life. Like you, she is obviously only infatuated with Mingcheng, but makes him feel Everyone thinks that you are devoted to him until death."

"How can a cold person be passionate about only one person? Probably only Mingcheng will believe what I said. He is your only passion, right?"

Qiao Baizhou thought of that somewhat innocent man, but he didn't feel the slightest bit of guilt in his heart.What his sister wanted, he would help her get it no matter how hard he tried, it was just a deception that wasn't a lie, so what was it?

"Our Qiao family's business talent is innate. Before the other party doesn't love what you love to the death, they are unwilling to invest even a little bit of sincerity. Ruyuan, you have been casting the net before, and now, it is probably time to reap the rewards." Is it about time?"

"Big brother..."

Ruyuan closed her eyes, everything was spread out in front of her elder brother, even if it was her closest relative, she still felt uncomfortable.

Qiao Baizhou didn't want to embarrass her, but just wanted her to understand that she had done nothing wrong.

"There is no love for no reason in this world. He has never done anything for you, so how can you love him with all your heart? You like him and won't hurt him. That's enough. You don't have to feel guilty about him."

"What's more, if you calculate his love with real dedication, he won't suffer."

Seeing his younger sister's face finally normal, Qiao Baizhou finally said what he wanted to say.

"I said this just to let you understand that others may feel that I have paid a lot, but only I know whether it is worth it. For Mingcheng, if you want his love, what you pay is sincere concern. For Manli, what I pay is With an order and a little time, what I want is nothing more than a fulfillment."

Qiao Baizhou looked in the direction of Xiaoyanglou, with some inexplicable expectations.

"I just want to see if that kind of love will change after she has everything. I also want to see if such a persistent belief can reap happiness."

*****

Mingtai's execution was carried out by Mingcheng himself following Liang Zhongchun.He saved Mingtai's life with the pocket watch left by Mingtai's father.

Everything is developing in the direction Minglou expected, except for the only uncertain factor, Mingjing.

Ah Cheng stood at the door of the eldest sister's room and turned to Ruyuan, a little nervous.

"How is the eldest sister?"

Ruyuan pursed her lips and smiled, "I'm not in charge of the weather forecast, so you'll know if you go in and have a look?"

Mingcheng sighed aggrievedly, and asked unwillingly.

"Do you think the eldest sister will go home with me?"

If possible, he and Minglou would certainly hope that the eldest sister would stay at Qiao's house, at least Ruyuan could stay by her side.

But the eyeliner monitoring the Ming family has not been withdrawn, and they have to convince the "lone wolf" of Mingtai's death, so they can only take the eldest sister home, and everything is as usual.

Ruyuan sighed, and first he knocked on the door of the room, "I'll accompany you, at least the elder sister won't scold you in front of me."

*****

Ming Jing still sat on the bed without saying a word, and when he saw them coming in, he didn't show any expression.

"Sister, shall we go home?"

Mingcheng asked cautiously, staring at the facial expression of the eldest sister.

Ming Jing ignored it, held back tears, and spoke in a crying voice, as if he had exhausted all his strength, "Where is Mingtai?"

After all, Mingcheng was afraid that she would be worried, so he told her the truth.

"Don't worry, he's home."

Mingjing looked at Ruyuan worriedly, as if he was afraid that he had heard wrong.

Ruyuan sat by the bed and held her hand.

"What he said is true, sister Mingjing, he dare not lie to you,"

Ming Jing clenched Ruyuan's hand, and finally heaved a sigh of relief, but couldn't hold back the tears, and his eyes were red.

Ruyuan and Mingcheng looked at each other, this test has finally passed.
