“I really don’t know where these photos came from.”
Xie Shi’an’s gaze fell on the photos. “Can I take a closer look?”
Jian Han did not reject him. He pa.s.sed the photos to Cui Ke, and the latter quickly pa.s.sed them to Xie Shi’an.
The scenes in the photos were too familiar to Xie Shi’an.
The pictures featured his former home, and Sang Qianqian had lived there for a few short months.
In the photo, Xie Shi’an and Sang Qianqian’s every move looked unusually intimate.
It was no wonder that Cui Ke misunderstood that Jian Han had stolen the photo from the Xie family. It was because such a photo, in Cui Ke’s eyes, might’ve been part of his Young Master’s private collection.
After all, Sang Qianqian was already married, and for her sake, Xie Shi’an had almost taken Cui Ke’s life. Cui Ke still had lingering fears and still remembered it clearly.
Xie Shi’an looked at the photos for a long time under the light.
“These should have been taken from a video on a surveillance camera. The Xie family doesn’t have such a video, let alone these photos. It’s impossible that he stole it.”
Xie Shi’an said lightly, “Cui Ke, remember this next time. Don’t blame people blindly.”
Cui Ke could only agree.
Jian Han laughed and took the photo back. He looked at Sang Qianqian and said, “Madam, I’ll wait for you in the car.”
He waited for Jian Han to leave.
Xie Shi’an then said, “Did someone send these photos to the Zhen family on purpose? Why didn’t you tell me before?”
“I didn’t think it was necessary, because it would be impossible for you to be involved.”
Sang Qianqian explained, “Jian Han was helping Hanyu to investigate this matter. I didn’t expect him to have those photos with him. I’m sorry.”
“I should be the one apologizing for not getting the video earlier.”
When Ruan Cheng and Ruan Xiaoshuang got into trouble one after another, Xie Shi’an had no time to care about anything else. When the matter came to an end, he remembered the surveillance camera in the small courtyard. When he went to get it himself, he realized that the memory card had disappeared.
At that time, he had arranged for people to look for the memory card, but they couldn’t find it. Also, because Ruan Xiaodie was in urgent need of someone to take care of her abroad, he had gone abroad first. Now that he had returned, it had been a long time, and there was no way to investigate.
“I didn’t expect that person to be so stupid as to send the photos to the Zhen family.”
Xie Shi’an paused. “Has Shen Hanyu found out who this person is?”
“Yes, but he’s dead.”
Sang Qianqian hesitated for two seconds, but still revealed the other party’s ident.i.ty. “He was one of the Ruan family’s ordinary bodyguards in the past. Hanyu doesn’t know why he did that.”
To be honest, Sang Qianqian could not figure out this person’s motive either. “He sent the photos to the Zhen family through Hanyu’s cousin, and it happened on the day Hanyu first brought me to the Zhen family.”
“With this person’s ident.i.ty, it would’ve been impossible for him to know this surveillance video existed, let alone get hold of it.”
Xie Shi’an thought for a long time. “It’s possible that there’s someone else instructing him to do this. He purposely chose to send these photos when Shen Hanyu brought you to the Zhen family. I don’t think he’s asking for money, but he’s trying to disgust the Zhen family. Maybe he’s trying to use this to ruin your relationship with Shen Hanyu.”
Sang Qianqian nodded. “I’ve thought about that as well. Could it be that he couldn’t bear to see the Ruan family in trouble, so he took these photos from the surveillance cameras and sent them to the Zhen family to make me and Hanyu feel uncomfortable?”
“If that’s the case, then this person is too stupid.”
Xie Shi’an’s lips twitched. It was unknown if he was mocking someone else or himself.
If Sang Qianqian and Shen Hanyu’s relationship could be so easily destroyed by a few photos, he wouldn’t still be single.
“Brother Shi’an!”
A crisp voice rang out. Ruan Xiaodie and Ruan Xiaoshuang had come out of the room.
Xie Shi’an said in a low voice, “Tell Shen Hanyu that I’ll send someone to investigate this matter. If there’s really a mastermind behind this, I’ll find him and give you an explanation.”
Before Sang Qianqian could reply anything, he had already gone to Ruan Xiaodie.
“Brother Shi’an, who are you calling stupid?”
Ruan Xiaodie let go of Ruan Xiaoshuang, took Xie Shi’an’s hand, and innocently said, “Are you talking about Xiaodie? That makes Xiaodie angry.”
“Xiaodie is the smartest. Why would Brother Shi’an say that about Xiaodie?”
Xie Shi’an comforted her like he was coaxing a child. “Xiaodie doesn’t know the idiot I’m talking about.”
Ruan Xiaodie nodded her head in confusion. She took Xie Shi’an’s hand and said, “Brother Shi’an, Sister Shuang is going home. Let’s send her off.”
She was very attached to Xie Shi’an. Sang Qianqian had seen it before when they were abroad, so she was not surprised now.
Ruan Xiaoshuang, on the other hand, was very pleased to see her sister’s reliance and intimacy with Xie Shi’an.
Now that she was blind, she couldn’t take care of Ruan Xiaodie, nor could she provide a good living environment for her sister. Letting her sister stay with Xie Shi’an was the best arrangement for the time being.
Because Xie Shi’an was worried about Ruan Xiaoshuang, and Ruan Xiaodie also said that she wanted to send her sister off like a child, in the end, Xie Shi’an brought Ruan Xiaodie back to the studio with Sang Qianqian.
Usually, the studio would be closed by this time, but tonight, the lights were still on. Song Yu could be seen sitting in front of the easel, drawing with a brush.
However, he seemed to be a little absent-minded, as his brush was held in the air for a long time without falling.
Xie Shi’an looked at Song Yu from a distance through the gla.s.s. In the end, he listened to Ruan Xiaoshuang and did not get out of the car.
This was a very ordinary community in the capital, and this studio looked very small. In the dark, it was impossible to see the name. Compared to the flashing neon signs beside it, it looked very shabby.
Xie Shi’an felt a little uncomfortable, but in the end, he only said, “Sister Xiaoshuang, don’t forget to inform me and Xiaodie when the wedding date is set.”
“I will,” Ruan Xiaoshuang smiled gently.
She held onto Sang Qianqian’s hand as she got into the car. When they were still a dozen meters away from the studio, she was determined not to let Sang Qianqian accompany her back to the studio.
“I’m very familiar with the rest of the path. I’ve walked through it countless times. Qianqian, you don’t have to send me off.”
Ruan Xiaoshuang said softly, “Mr. Shen should still be waiting for you at home. You should go back early.”
Under the light, her eyebrows were delicate and gentle. Although her eyes could not be seen, they were like a clear and peaceful lake, reflecting the light.
Sang Qianqian thought about what Ruan Xiaoshuang had sacrificed for her brother and could not help but tear up.
“Sister Xiaoshuang,”
She gently hugged Ruan Xiaoshuang and held back her tears. “You must be happy.”
Ruan Xiaoshuang smiled. “I will, Qianqian. You too.”
She turned around and walked toward the studio.
Sang Qianqian stood on the spot and watched as she pushed the door open and entered the studio.
Inside, when Song Yu heard the commotion, he put down his brush in surprise and walked over to help her.
Shen Hanyu was not home yet.
Sang Qianqian sat on the sofa in the living room in a daze. Her mind was filled with Ruan Xiaoshuang’s problems, and then she thought of herself and Shen Hanyu.
She hesitated, not knowing if she should tell her brother. She picked up her phone several times, wanting to dial his number, but eventually put it down.
When she heard the sound of Shen Hanyu’s car, her heart was in a mess. It was as if something had suddenly pulled her back to reality, and she almost immediately got up and ran out.
As soon as Shen Hanyu entered the room, he was caught off guard by the soft, warm, and fragrant girl who threw herself into his arms..
