“Why has Dong Xinxin’s attitude been weird these days? Has she discovered something about us?” Qin Jiao glanced at her phone, then threw it onto the table nearby and said with puzzlement.
Recently, Dong Xinxin had been quite cold to them. They had known her for a whole year and finally built a close relationship with her. Finally, they managed to make her listen to whatever they said. How come there was suddenly a distance between them and her again? Did someone else say something to her?
Their social circle wasn’t terribly wide, but it was not small either. Every rich boy or girl in the city knew that Dong Lijia had a fat little sister, and many had seen her.
Dong Xinxin was a shy and silly girl. People made friends with her because of her allowance that would never run out or because of her rich family. Otherwise, who would want to spend all day together with a big, fat girl? No one made friends with her sincerely. The ones who meant to be real friends with her were all replaced by the ones who had purposes.
In order to get close to Dong Lijia, Qin Jiao did a thorough background check about Dong Xinxin and tried everything she could to become friends with that girl.
“That’s possible!” Lin Yuehui had too felt that Dong Xinxin’s attitude toward her and Qin Jiao had changed. She gave it a thought and felt that Qin Jiao might be right.
“Maybe we should send someone to find out if she has spent time with someone else recently. There must be someone who caused her to change her attitude. I’m going to find how who’s jeopardizing our relationship with her!” Qin Jiao thought for a moment and then said, her delicate face wearing a dark look. A cold gleam of light flashed across her eyes which were decorated with exquisite eye makeup.
She bent over and picked up the phone, then found a number and made a call, “Go and find out if Dong Xinxin has spent time with someone else recently or earlier. Check for a week, a month or two months before now. I want to know why she has changed her attitude recently.”
After finishing that call, she dropped her phone and turned to Lin Yuehui, who was still thinking. She was trying to think of if anything strange happened that day when Dong Xinxin went shopping with her and the others. She remembered the girl acting weird that day.
After turning her phone off, Lin Wenwen spent another hour strolling, then went back to her room. Dong Lijia was sitting in her room with a bitter face and a deep frown.
“What? Judging by the look on your face, I guess you haven’t told them the truth yet. I’ve created an opportunity for you. Are you still hesitating? Think about it. The time is running out.” Seeing the look on his face, Lin Wenwen immediately figured out what he was thinking.
“I’m worried that they might not believe me,” said Dong Lijia, “Maybe we should tell them together. With you on the scene, my words will be more convincing for them.”
“Okay,” Lin Wenwen thought for a moment and said, “On one condition.”
“What condition?” Dong Lijia asked.
“I’ll convince them as your sister. You have to keep my true identity a secret,” said Lin Wenwen.
Dong Lijia spent three seconds looking at her before he figured out what she meant. “Are you saying that you’ll pretend to be my sister who experienced the apocalypse and then traveled back through time?”
Lin Wenwen nodded and said, “They definitely wouldn’t believe you if you told them that I’m someone else. I can tell them that I lived seven years in the future and then died, and then came back to life by time-traveling. I’ll tell them that I’m their daughter from seven years in the future, and I’m not like the Dong Xinxin from the past. I can also do something that your sister would do to make them believe me. After all, between a stranger who occupied their daughter’s body and their daughter from the future, I think they’ll be more likely to believe the latter.”
Dong Lijia spent a short while thinking, then nodded and asked her a question, “Do you… know what happened to my sister in the next seven years?”
“I know, of course!” said Lin Wenwen, “Didn’t I tell you that she’s still inside this body? These days, she has woken up from time to time. She’s mostly been sleeping though. She talked a lot to me when she was awake.”
Dong Lijia looked at her knowingly in agreement, then stood up and said, “In this case, we’ll do it your way. Let’s go and talk to my father now!” While speaking, he walked to the door and opened it, then turned back to look at Lin Wenwen. The latter shrugged and followed him out.
They turned and turned and then finally found Mr. Dong’s study room. “I don’t understand you rich people! Don’t you feel a lack of sense of security living in such a huge house?”
“No,” said Dong Lijia carelessly, “We might have gotten used to this. Besides, don’t we have guards and servants? I haven’t asked you about what you did before and how old you are. Are you a boy or a girl? Oh damn! You’re not a man, are you!”
While finishing his last word, Dong Lijia twirled and stared at Lin Wenwen with popped eyes. Picturing a man in his sister’s body, seeing her sister’s nudity… he suddenly felt like losing his mind!
“Tell me you’re a girl! You’re a girl, aren’t you!” Dong Lijia suddenly dragged Lin Wenwen to a corner of the hallway and pressed her against the wall as he glared at her and asked her with anxiety.
Lin Wenwen felt a little speechless. Wasn’t his mind working a little too slowly? It had been days and that question didn’t pop in his mind until just now.
Looking at Dong Lijia’s twisted face, she said, “What would you do if I told you that I’m a guy?”
Dong Lijia’s face froze at that very moment. The two of them just stared at each other in the eyes.
After quite a while, Dong Lijia abruptly furrowed his eyebrows as he gazed at Lin Wenwen and said, “Marry her!”
Lin Wenwen burst in laughter. After pushing Dong Lijia away expressionlessly, she immediately covered her mouth with a hand and laughed out loud.
“Hahaha… Relax, I was kidding!” While speaking, she walked forward. Dong Lijia paused briefly, then instantly pulled a long face.
“Were you lying to me? That’s not right! I won’t believe a word you say from now on! Who the hell are you! Tell me or I won’t let you go!” Dong Lijia angrily dragged him back, then threw her against the wall and asked her fiercely.
What if he were really a guy? What if what he said was a lie because he didn’t want to marry Dong Xinxin? He had seen and touched Xinxin’s body! Xinxin would suffer a great loss if he just left when he could, wouldn’t she?
With that thought, Dong Lijia was almost exploding with anger. As a big brother who deeply loved his little sister, he was now seeing Lin Wenwen as a dishonest man who had taken advantage of his sister.
Feeling the determined look in his eyes, Lin Wenwen realized that she might have shot herself in the foot.
