When Yin Qinghuan returned to the Yin house, her mother had just come out from Yin Xiangze's study. Seeing her return, she walked down the stairs with a warm smile on her face.

"Your brother is in the study right now."

"…"

In the end, living under the same roof. As long as she remained as Yin Qinghuan, she would inevitably have to face Yin Xiangze. After an entire night had passed, he should no longer lose his mind, right?

Thinking of that suffocating feeling, a lingering fear still remained in the woman's heart.

"I talked to him just now. He said that he was unable to accept the bad news last night and almost got out of control to hurt you."

Unable to accept it for a moment, almost getting hurt?

Heh! Yin Xiangze said these words without the slightest bit of dissent. Who told the image of a hypocrite to be so deeply ingrained in the hearts of the people? Thus, just a simple sentence of "unintentional loss of control" was enough to cover up his heinous reality.

"He told you to come back and find him. He apologized to you."

Yin Qinghuan shook her head instinctively. Her eyes were still as pitiful as a lamb's. "I'm afraid of him."

"Foolish child, he is your older brother. Since young, he has always doted on you so much. It's understandable that he had feelings for you last night."

Mother Yin comforted her daughter with a gentle and kind smile. They were both her own children. As a mother, she naturally did not want to see any gap between brother and sister.

"Hurry up and go, forgive your brother."

"..." "Alright."

Forgive the person who killed him? This kind of thing, when used on her, was full of dog blood.

After knocking on the door, Yin Qinghuan pushed it open. However, she stopped and stood at the door.

Yin Xiangze sat on a soft leather chair and looked at the woman standing at the door. She didn't come in, nor did she make a sound.

"Close the door. Come here."

As the man spoke, his long and narrow eyes glanced at the clock hanging on the wall. It was almost dusk, just at six in the evening.

Yin Qinghuan didn't have any other choice. However, from his tone, it seemed that she had returned to her normal state of mind.

Well, or rather, he was pretending to be himself again.

After gently closing the door, the woman still maintained her silence. She walked a few steps inside and stopped not far from the table. He had kept a safe distance from Yin Xiangze.

He raised his eyes to look at the faintly discernible red mark on the woman's fair neck. Even though she was powdered, he could still see the mark if he looked closely. It was evident that he really did put in a lot of effort last night.

"I lost control last night."

He lost control again. Could these two words be used as a reason to quibble after harming someone?

"Yeah, I know." Yin Qinghuan lowered her eyes and did not look at that person as she nodded.

Finally, she forced herself to smile, the kind of indulgent smile.

"I understand the pain of losing a woman I love."

He also understood that the mindset of choosing to destroy was not something that could be ignored even if one loved him. He was a lunatic in every sense of the word!

"You are my sister. Blood is thicker than water."

If he wanted to apologize for what happened last night, then she wouldn't understand the first two sentences.

Yin Xiangze wanted to tell her that no one else was more important than her little sister, or … He warned her not to do anything against his will.

For example, betraying him.

This time, the police had "accidentally" found Qiao Yonuo's corpse. It would be extremely difficult to convince Yin Xiangze that it was only a coincidence. With his suspicious personality, he would naturally suspect her.

"Don't worry, brother." She pursed her lips and smiled, her words clear and clear — —

"I will not betray you."

If you want to believe me.

"I thought that 'eyewitness' was in charge of too many things. I didn't expect him to be rumored." The man stared into her eyes. "When I find the real 'witness', I'll keep her silent forever."

The fake smile on the corner of Yin Qinghuan's mouth suddenly froze. Her obsidian eyes tightly stared at the person's face before her. The icy cold that unknowingly forced her to come over once more and surround Yin Qinghuan.

"What? You have an objection?"

The man's thin lips were parted in a smile that was not a smile. The sudden silence in the study room had frozen into frost.

In the end, the woman just shook her head and pretended to look at him like she didn't understand.

Han Ying Xue looked at Zhang Yang in shock, and said, "What's wrong?" She tilted her head in an attempt to change the topic and said, "I went to Qiao family this afternoon."

"Wherever to do what?"

"To see Uncle Qiao."

Yin Qinghuan was well aware of what her own brother had done, but she was still able to maintain a straight face and call her 'good intentions'. When she went to visit Father Qiao, Yin Qinghuan felt that she was a very different person.

"Don't go again in the future."

"Alright."

She nodded and turned to leave, but then she recalled what her mother had said to her earlier.

He stopped and turned to look at the man, speaking slowly.

"Bro, can you tell me why you like Qiao Yonuo?"

This question had puzzled her for a long time. Thinking about what her mother had said about Yin Xiangze going to her mother's funeral ten years ago, she had no recollection of it at all.

"Why do you ask?"

Yin Xiangze replied casually, leaving the man speechless. Why did she ask that? Because she asked it for Giordino. He really wanted to know what made Yin Xiangze like her. That face? Or design talent?

"I'm just curious. After all, you and her … It seems like we did not have any interactions before. "

He could just ignore it and just pretend she didn't ask. Just as the woman was about to leave, she heard Yin Xiangze's voice, which was neither warm nor cold, faintly ring out —

"Who says no," said the soft voice, plated with a few degrees of coolness, as if the man were whispering to himself, "only she forgot me."

The darkness in Yin Xiangze's eyes spread endlessly, gradually concealing that rare trace of warmth in his eyes.

She just … just forgot about him.

Until the moment of his death, she had not thought of him.

Qiao Yonuo, ten years ago, on that rainy day, I found you hiding behind a tombstone. It was also me who retrieved your mother's inheritance for you.

I'll see you in a few years. You just smiled politely, your eyes filled with the strangeness of me.

— Only she forgot me.

That night, Yin Qinghuan leaned her back against the edge of the bed as the last words she said a moment ago echoed in her ears.

Forget him?

Could it be that Qiao Yonuo should remember him?

Ten years ago, when she was a girl and there were so many people at her mother's funeral, how could she remember everyone?

However, she had a feeling that Yin Xiangze was not talking about this.

Suddenly, the phone on the table vibrated, pulling the woman back from her thoughts. She looked at the caller. It was a shallow phone call.

"Yin..." "Words..."

"Call me Qing Huan from now on."

She was in the ward now. Gu Wenliu had just returned to the hospital, and now she spent money to buy daily necessities.

"I haven't had the chance to say a lot of things in the morning. I want to ask you, what happened to you before you died? You didn't commit suicide, did you?! "

Qiao Yinuo was someone that Shi Qian knew. Even if his body was tainted, he would not be weak enough to choose to live lightly. Thus, she had reason to suspect that it was the wicked that killed him.

"Ah Qian, I don't want to talk about this. At the very least, I don't want to talk about it right now."

If he knew about what happened that night, he would probably fight to the death against Qiao Annie and Yin Xiangze.

She couldn't let A-Qian get into danger, so she chose to tell him her real identity. However, it was because she still had a long way to go, and she needed his help.

"If you say so, I know you must have been in pain that night."

The woman on the sickbed frowned, and the sour feeling once again welled up in her heart.

"You didn't want me to tell Gu Wenliu about your rebirth because you didn't want Qi Yan Shang to know about it, right?"

Once Gu Wen Liu found out, he would definitely tell Qi Yan Shang.

Shi Qian was different now. She wouldn't sympathize with that man. Although Yino wasn't dead, Qi Yan Shang should still regret it!

"I heard Gu Wenliu say just now that that man was abusing himself. I don't believe it. How laughable!"

Slightly mocking words came out of the phone. Yin Qinghuan's eyes rippled, but were filled with puzzlement and bewilderment —

"Self-abuse?"

She knew who the man was.

But it was not clear what the word 'masochism' referred to.

"That's right, I don't know if it's true or not. Maybe it's just a show for others to see, to pretend to be deep in love." In any case, Shi Qian hated that person to the core, so she believed that this Yinuo was completely disheartened. After all, if Qi Yan was by her side that night, no tragedy would have occurred.

When Yin Qinghuan heard the phrase 'pretending to be deep in love', a faint understanding smile appeared on her crimson lips.

What Ah Qian said was right. They were heartless to begin with, so why would they pretend to be deep in love?

"However, I do not understand why you would continue to tangle with Qi Yan Shang after your rebirth."

Qing Huan had previously mentioned that she was only using Qi Yan to stay with Qi Yan Shang.

"What if I say I want to take revenge on him?"

After the person on the other side of the phone heard Yin Qinghuan's words, her voice clearly paused for a moment before she suddenly quietened down.

After a long time — —

"You wouldn't do that."

"Ah Qian, people can change. What's more, I've died once before."

Yin Xiangze wanted her to die, but Qi Yanzhi wanted her to die.

Her hatred for Qi Yan Shang was not any lesser than that of Yin Xiangze.

"Let's not talk about this now. Did you know that Gu Wenliu cancelled the ST exam competition?"

"I'm not sure."

From the time that Shi Xueman had learned of Qiao Yino's death until now, she had never heard of him mentioning ST. Naturally, she wasn't in the mood to care about these things.

"You have to help me. I want to represent ST to participate in this international jewelry design competition."

Giordino had been preparing for this international competition for a long time, and it had been her dream all along to become a world-recognized designer like Sunny.

"You're saying …"

"Think of a way to let Gu Wenliu resume the assessment's selection. I will definitely win."

"But this way, Yin Qinghuan will completely replace Qiao Yu-Nuo."

Shi Qian was also at a loss. Although he was alone, but … It still felt weird. Qiao Yino was already a dead man in this world. In the future, all reputations and positions would belong to Yin Qinghuan.

"I don't care."

As long as he didn't forget, no matter what his identity was, he wouldn't be able to change her mind.

Surpassing her former self was her true challenge.
