Chapter 252
"Weird, what happened to your neck?" Ji Fei asked directly.
Guo Yalan looked over and the familiar scene made her pause for a moment.
Han Ziyu was already feeling itchy and said, "I'm fine, just an allergy. I'll go take care of it."
With that, she left.
"She's allergic? To alcohol?" Guo Yalan wondered, "Guess she's also prone to allergies."
Ji Fei also found it strange; she hadn't seen Han Ziyu drink before during their previous gatherings.
Instinctively, she used her system to check.
Guo Yalan went back to chat with the other friends, complaining about Qi Li using that young girl as a replacement, essentially putting her in an unjust position.
Everyone didn't know how to respond; Qi Li was indeed in the wrong, but Guo Yalan's reaction was also unexpected.
Since Ji Fei was standing still while checking, Qin Xian got up, pulled her back to sit down, and wiped the alcohol that had splashed onto her fingers.
[Holy crap! What a coincidence!]
Qin Xian, already accustomed to Ji Fei's thoughts, continued wiping without reacting.
[Both are allergic to lemons, and they look so similar? Could Guo Yalan have a long-lost sister? Is this really that cliche?]
Qin Xian:?!
Now Qin Xian couldn't stay calm either. The combination of elements couldn't be explained by coincidence alone.
But Qin Xian hadn't heard of any missing family members from the Guo family. Could it be a secret child? But Guo Yalan's parents were genuinely loving, and they doted on Guo Yalan.
As Qin Xian pondered, Ji Fei's strange thoughts grew stronger.
She remembered the initial revelation about the eldest sister and her son. Sometimes, unless the person already knew, deeper digging into the system was needed to uncover the truth.
So previously, when Ji Fei checked their information, it was only superficial and didn't reveal anything unusual.
This time, Ji Fei had the patience to look closely.
[Han Ziyu's information is straightforward. Her parents died in a car accident early on, and no relatives could be contacted, so she was sent to an orphanage. She grew up in the orphanage, and her memories of her parents are from early childhood. She looks like her mom, so she should be their biological child.]
[As for Guo Yalan, I can't believe it... Guo Yalan's current mother isn't her biological mom?]
Qin Xian immediately perked up, sensing some possibilities.
[So that's how it is. That's... too much. Guo Yalan saw her biological mom having an affair and running away with someone when she was very young. She clung to her mom, refusing to let her go, but her mom, in a panic, pushed her down the stairs.]
[Even though she was injured and couldn't get up, she still tried to grab her mom's hand, but her mom cried and said sorry, avoiding her. Guo Yalan watched helplessly as her mom ran off with the other man, leaving her not only physically hurt but also emotionally scarred.]
Seeing Ji Fei's righteous anger, Qin Xian couldn't help but look at the lively and carefree Guo Yalan. He hadn't noticed before.
[Guo Yalan's grandparents were furious and forced her dad to remarry. Initially, they didn't approve of the biological mom, but her dad fought for the marriage. After experiencing betrayal, her dad had no more fight left, only wanting his daughter to be okay.]
[Her dad was initially resistant to the new wife, as she was forced by his parents. But it turned out she genuinely cared for Guo Yalan, taking good care of her. Guo Yalan accepted her even before her dad did, treating her as her real mom.]
[But her dad still had a mental block, as he was always looking for Guo Yalan's biological mom, not to bring her back, but to get closure. One day, he told Guo Yalan that her mom had passed away a few years ago and asked if she wanted to visit the grave. Guo Yalan refused, insisting she only had one mom. The stepmom, loving Guo Yalan, never had children of her own, and their mother-daughter relationship was excellent. Guo Yalan had long forgotten her biological mother.]
Qin Xian suddenly understood. When Han Ziyu had an allergic reaction, Ji Fei thought of various possibilities, but Guo Yalan didn't. Maybe her subconscious was rejecting any connection to her biological mom, helping her ignore these clues.
But Guo Yalan, with her bold and straightforward personality, would she really not suspect anything?
Ji Fei's doubts grew stronger as she dug deeper.
Both having lost their biological moms, the coincidence was alarming.
[Although the names of the two moms are different, Han Ziyu's age... the time that woman ran away... Oh my god... it's highly possible! Could this world be full of such drama?]
Ji Fei was so absorbed in this revelation that she ignored those trying to talk to her.
"Ji Fei? Ji Fei?" Guo Yalan asked curiously.
Qin Xian said, "She's thinking."
Guo Yalan laughed, "She looks so cute when she's lost in thought. No wonder you like her."
Qin Xian: "Whatever type she is, I like her."
"Hahahaha." Guo Yalan laughed uncontrollably.
But someone was completely oblivious to the outside world, engrossed in the truth she had uncovered.
[Oh my god! They're really half-sisters!]
Qin Xian's eyes widened in disbelief as he looked at Guo Yalan.
Guo Yalan, carefree, suddenly asked, "By the way, the girl just now, Han Ziyu, is she really Ji Fei's fan?"
Qin Xian nodded.
"How old is she this year?" Guo Yalan asked casually, not looking at Qin Xian.
Qin Xian glanced at Guo Yalan and frowned slightly, "It's said she just turned twenty."
Guo Yalan's eyelashes fluttered.
Ji Fei, having snapped back to reality, was eager to share this big revelation with Qin Xian.
When her vision focused, she saw Guo Yalan leaning over, startling her.
To be honest, she felt guilty.
Aliali: 675f8fba9234b3e7f2017a08If it were other types of lost siblings, Ji Fei would try various roundabout ways to help them reunite.
But in Guo Yalan's case, she didn't know whether she should say anything.
After all, Guo Yalan's mother had an affair and abandoned her, having a child with her lover.
Han Ziyu was innocent, and so was Guo Yalan.
Given this background, Ji Fei couldn't guarantee how Guo Yalan would react to Han Ziyu.
Guo Yalan seemed to snap back to reality and laughed, "What are you thinking about?"
Ji Fei stammered, "I'm thinking if Qi Li will cause more trouble when he comes back."
Guo Yalan seemed to completely disregard Qi Li.
After chatting for a while, she pulled Cen Ting to jump into the pool, swimming impatiently and quickly getting out.
"I want to drink. Where's that girl? Why isn't she back yet?" Guo Yalan suddenly asked, "Did she have a severe allergic reaction? I'll go check."
