The Rest Of My Life Is For You

She decided that she might as well not argue with them and said, “You don’t have to avoid opening the envelope in my presence. If there’s anything you don’t understand, I could even explain it to you. Treat it as the cost of the meal.”

Nian Xiaomu did not stand on ceremony after hearing her words.

She pulled Yu Yuehan to sit down with her and opened the envelope.

Zheng Yan was a relatively trustworthy person. The envelope contained information of the Tan Family, which was rarely known, as well as an address.

“You said that you knew about Tan Bengbeng’s whereabouts, but you only knew the address of her ancestral home?” asked Nian Xiaomu. She had read everything in the envelope. She slapped the envelope on the table and glared at Zheng Yan.

Zheng Yan’s gloomy face finally broke into a smile.

“Why? Only the two of you, the dramatic couple is allowed to deceive me, but I am not allowed to do the same? Besides, at the very least, the information I have given is accurate.”

Zheng Yan put down her chopsticks. She pointed at the paper under Nian Xiaomu’s arm and said, “Let me tell you. Don’t belittle the information on that piece of paper. Let me ask you. As a friend of Tan Bengbeng, had she brought up anything that happened in her family?”

“…”

“Looking at your expression, she probably didn’t. Now, here’s the question. Why is it that Tan Bengbeng never mentioned her family? From one generation to another, the Tan Family are full of doctors. They are famous for practicing medicine for generations. It is nothing to be ashamed of, why does she need to hide it? Unless there are any special reasons.”

“…”

Zheng Yan’s analysis was not completely unreasonable.

Nian Xiaomu recalled the times when she had brought up the topic of Tan Bengbeng’s family. Her reaction had always seemed strange and she did not seem to be willing to bring it up.

She did not look too much into it then. She just assumed that it was because Tan Bengbeng did not like chatting.

However, after being questioned by Zheng Yan, she also felt that Tan Bengbeng’s reactions were abnormal.

Nian Xiaomu pursed her lips, motioning Zheng Yan to continue speaking.

“Even though I have no idea how Tan Bengbeng disappeared; thinking about it, she had neither mentioned her family members nor brought up the fact that she had an ancestral home. If she had not really disappeared, where would she be hiding?”

Before Zheng Yan finished speaking, she pointed at the piece of paper under Nian Xiaomu’s arm.

“I gave you the address. It’s up to you to believe in my speculation.”

“How am I supposed to know that you’re not spouting nonsense?” asked Nian Xiaomu. She picked up the piece of paper and took another look at it, before passing it to Yu Yuehan and allowing him to make the decision.

Zheng Yan could not sit still after hearing that she was being accused.

“Don’t lose trust in others just because you are both actors. Take a look at the address again. Take a closer look. Found anything special? Open your eyes and look!”

Hearing Zheng Yan’s words, Nian Xiaomu glanced at the piece of paper in Yu Yuehan’s hand.

After looking left and right, she did not find anything special about the address.

“The Tan Family’s ancestral home is very near the Zheng Family,” said Yu Yuehan.

Hearing that, Nian Xiaomu was taken aback.

Astonished, she lifted her head to look at him.

Yu Yuehan looked at her and nodded slightly, signaling that she had not misheard him.

It also meant, what Zheng Yan had said was true.

She was not lying when she said she knew the Tan Family well. It was because the Zheng Family and the Tan Family were neighbors. Zheng Yan would have known Tan Bengbeng since she was young!

“How is it? Do you believe that I am not a liar now?” asked Zheng Yan, as she picked up her chopsticks and continued eating.

After a few bites, she lifted her head and looked at Yu Yuehan.
