Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Under the slightly tipsy sunlight, the high priest turned her head and stared at the young man behind her with a pair of gla.s.s-like eyes. Her voice was clear and cold.
“Do you still remember the man who looks a little similar to you?”
The high priest paused for a moment before continuing.
“It’s the man who was with Su Wan back then. I don’t think you’ve forgotten about him, right?”
The high priest gave a sidelong glance at Jiang Xuecheng with a faint smile. She did not know that Jiang Xuecheng had already recovered his past memories and was determined to sow discord between him and Su Wan.
Jiang Xuecheng was stunned when he heard that. His originally calm expression suddenly became a little ugly, and even his voice was a little hoa.r.s.e.
“Of course I remember…”
That man seemed to be called Ming Ye, right?
However, Su Wan had already explained her relations.h.i.+p with her and Ming Ye in the observation elevator the last time. They were just ordinary friends who met by chance.
Ever since he recovered those memories from the past, every time he recalled them, he felt a sharp pain in his heart.
It turned out that he had done so many wrong things to Su Wan just because he did not trust her.
His only wish was to treat Su Wan better and better in the future.
If everyone else in this world would abandon him, only that girl would always be willing to stand by his side.
…
The high priest naturally did not miss the unnatural look on Jiang Xuecheng’s face. She thought that her words had pierced the deepest pain in his heart.
No man would like his woman to be entangled with another man.
The child in Su Wan’s stomach was the best proof.
Jiang Xuecheng had always minded it, so it was impossible for him to trust Su Wan wholeheartedly.
In the high priest’s view, Su Wan was a scourge. If it weren’t for her appearance, Jiang Xuecheng would probably have been a chess piece long ago, and it would be even more impossible for him to go against her for this woman.
In any case, only by opposing Jiang Xuecheng and Su Wan would she have a greater chance of winning.
As for the child who was transferred with the laboratory, the high priest had already ordered people to guard it tightly.
If one day, Jiang Xuecheng stood against her for the sake of Su Wan, she still had a trump card she could use.
Seeing the corner of the high priest’s mouth unconsciously smile, Jiang Xuecheng felt a piercing sensation.
He always felt that the high priest’s smile… was exceptionally frightening.
It was not because of the long scar on the High Priest’s face.
It was because in his limited memories, the high priest had always been reserved and very n.o.ble and cold. However, after being imprisoned by Fiennes for some time, he felt that the high priest’s personality had changed drastically.
Perhaps it was not drastic.
However, it was clear that this woman would only be more terrifying than before.
Jiang Xuecheng creased his brows without a trace. He did not care about what the High Priest was thinking at the moment and immediately interrupted her train of thought.
“So, your second request isn’t to ask me to look for Ming Ye, right?”
Jiang Xuecheng’s cold voice swept past her ears. The high priest keenly caught on to a piece of information.
Jiang Xuecheng actually knew Ming Ye’s name!
She suddenly raised her head, and a fierce look flashed across her eyes!
“Su Wan mentioned Ming Ye to you before?!”
Seeing the high priest’s incredulous look, Jiang Xuecheng revealed a sarcastic smile.
“Is there a need to be so strange?”
The high priest snorted coldly, and looked at Jiang Xuecheng with an extremely indifferent gaze.
“It seems that you have complete trust in that Su. Be careful that you don’t even know when someone will stab you in the back. In the past, she was able to be together with Ming Ye. Have you never been on guard against her?”
Jiang Xuecheng did not expect that the high priest would still try to sow discord between them. His dark eyes flashed and a deep sense of disappointment welled up in his heart.
It seemed that he was right not to reveal that he had regained his memories.
Jiang Xuecheng’s eyes turned slightly, and his expression was even colder than jade. No one could read his emotions at all.
“This is a private matter between Wan Wan and me. There’s no need for you to worry. Just tell me directly, are you going to find Ming Ye?”
He had already sent people to investigate Ming Ye’s ident.i.ty, but that young man who resembled him was a complete mystery. He could not find any information.
The only thing he knew was that the high priest had been sending people to search for Ming Ye all this time.
However, that young man was extremely good at hiding. Sometimes, after finally finding a clue with great difficulty and making a last-minute arrest, it would only fail again.
…
The high priest clearly did not expect that Jiang Xuecheng would have such an att.i.tude!
It was really too lawless!
Ever since she had been imprisoned by Fiennes, the high priest could not stand the feeling of being ignored more and more.
The high priest raised her eyes slightly and stared at Jiang Xuecheng’s face coldly.
“That’s right, I did ask you to find Ming Ye, but your tone seems to be very dissatisfied with me?!”
“Your Highness, you have to think carefully. Whether it’s Fiennes or Ming Ye, they are all men who have a relations.h.i.+p with Su Wan. I was kind enough to help you eliminate your love rival, so you have to find out who is the one who is good to you!”
The High Priest’s words pierced his heart. It was obvious that she wanted to continue to worsen his impression of Su Wan.
Did she really think that he was a three-year-old child?
A trace of ridicule flashed across Jiang Xuecheng’s eyes. His gaze could even be described as cold!
“High Priest, if you have the time to lament about the matter between Su Wan and me, why don’t you think about your current situation? It’s not for others to worry about the private matters between Su Wan and me!”
All along, the high priest was the one who wanted to separate him and Su Wan the most.
Hearing what Jiang Xuecheng said, the high priest was so angry that she almost choked on her own blood!
She did not expect that Jiang Xuecheng would talk back to her like that!
What did she say wrong?!
Whether it was Fiennes or Ming Ye, which one of them was not clear about Su Wan?!
…
Jiang Xuecheng could not be bothered to talk about Su Wan with the high priest anymore. He looked at the high priest’s scarred face and sighed!
Even if his face was disfigured, it was still very familiar. After all, his mother, whom he had looked at for more than twenty years, had such facial features.
Ever since his memory was restored, Jiang Xuecheng immediately realized that the high priest and his mother, Xu Ziyao, should have a deep blood relations.h.i.+p.
It was unlikely that they were mother and daughter. They were most likely biological sisters.
After all, the high priest had been a strict fan of being single for decades. She was no longer interested in men. She only had a soft spot for the high and mighty throne.
Although Jiang Xuecheng had always given Xu Ziyao a cold shoulder when they were on earth, he more or less knew that his mother was an extremely fair and serious person.
Xu Ziyao and the high priest’s annoying personality were really worlds apart.
Jiang Xuecheng pretended to change the topic to anger her.
“High Priest, I heard that you have a dead sister. You are such a power-hungry person, could it be that you killed her?”
Hearing that, the high priest started to tremble!
“You–”
Just when Jiang Xuecheng thought that he could hear some insider information, the electronic screen on the street not far away suddenly lit up and Su Wan’s figure appeared!
