Chapter 0010 – She’s your wife, isn’t she (2 / 2)

Jiang Xia almost used his last ounce of rationality to send him out.

Luckily, through Liu Ze’s first words, Jiang Xia judged that this guy probably didn’t know Han Ning Yi well, so she was able to muddle through.

The conversation was a blast of information. Jiang Xia didn’t realize that Liu Ze, the man who killed her, also ran Cheng Yu’s business, and he mentioned “big sister” more than once. And what reason did Cheng Yu have to run away?

Are these things all connected?

Her clothes were already drenched in sweat, and her body was exhausted from overstimulation, but Han Ningyi could come back at any time, and this was not a place to stay for long, so Jiang Xia dragged her tired body into the bathroom.

She hid in the cubicle for a while as the footsteps that had been hovering in the hallway for a while gradually dispersed, and she made sure that Liu Ze was supposed to have left before slowly peeking her head out and walking over to the mirror to wash her face.

Jiang Xia in the mirror looked a bit haggard, she haphazardly straightened her hair and planned to go downstairs to meet up with Lin Qing.

Unexpectedly, the innermost compartment suddenly opened, and a tall, thin figure wobbled out, startling Jiang Xia.

“You didn’t even say hello when you came here, and you’re deliberately avoiding me? Leaving in such a hurry, this time also want to leave me without saying goodbye?” Cheng Yu asked quietly.

Jiang Xia was so shocked by Cheng Yu that she almost snatched the door open and she stumbled back a few steps.

“Can you not come out in this weird way every time.”

She settled, but didn’t turn around, watching him with the afterglow of the mirror’s reflection.

“Why are you still wearing a nurse’s uniform and playing spy?But your appearance hasn’t changed at all, seeing that you’re not injured, I’m relieved.” Cheng Yu seemed to be completely unaware of what had happened, flirting leisurely as he gradually walked towards her.

“Stop!” Jiang Xia subconsciously blurted out.

“You, stay away from me.”

“How did you…” said Cheng Yu, stunned in place.

“It makes me feel so strange.”

Jiang Xia slowly lowered his head and sighed.

“You really did run out…”

“Hmm? I just came out to use the restroom, my digestion hasn’t been too good lately and my legs are going numb from squatting for so long.”

“What’s with that surveillance! Don’t you know the whole hospital is out to get you? Don’t tell me the hospital-wide surveillance happened to go down at the same time you opened the door.”

“This, I really just came to use the restroom ah, and although I don’t understand what you’re talking about… but it’s just a broken monitor, big deal, I’ll pay for it…”

“Besides, it’s scary when you freak out at night, isn’t it? Did you come here this late just to criticize me? Just like the nurse said, you don’t care about old times…”

“Just?” It was as if Jiang Xia’s long suppressed emotions had finally exploded, and indisputable tears flowed down accompanied by hysterical sobs.

“It’s been three times, it’s been three times already, he’s standing right behind me, I… I don’t even dare to breathe, afraid that the next second I’ll be strangled to death by him revealing my identity. Cheng Yu, why did I help you? Why am I willingly involved in this endless strife? Not only to prove my innocence, but also because of you! I’ve always felt since the beginning that you’re an innocent victim who doesn’t deserve such persecution, and you? You always have an attitude of not caring, like a schizophrenic with no memory, every time, every time I meet a completely different Mr. Cheng Yu, I want to tell ah, I want to tell you what I went through, I want to tell you who in the end is counting on you, I want to save you ah… but you, why…? Why are you tormenting me over and over again, you’re obviously not crazy, why are you always chanting something I can’t understand at all!”

“Please, count on me, I’m not even as strong as I look, you brought me into this reincarnation, either tell me where to go or…”

Jiang Xia calmed down, wiped away her tears, straightened her nurse’s uniform, and resumed the voice she had used to care for Cheng Yu at that time, but the tone of her voice was flatly three degrees of indifference.

“I’ll plead guilty to the King’s team and get this over with.”

However, Jiang Xia’s blistering catharsis seemed to hit a stubborn stone, and Cheng Yu seemed to have sensed something, and also turned his back, leaned against the bathroom window, and lit a cigarette.

“I’ve been off cigarettes for almost six months.”

“I haven’t seen you in a few months, you’ve really changed a lot…not showing up for such a long period of time, and the moment we meet, you’re just rebuking without a clue. It seems like I really dragged you down after lying in the hospital for so long.”

“A few months.” “It hasn’t changed a bit.”

As if extracting the keyword, Jiang Xia looked at herself in the mirror with red and swollen eyes from crying and knew that her play just now had worked.

Cheng Yu wouldn’t have thought, no matter what, that her hysteria just now was actually a play to kill two birds with one stone.

On the one hand, in order to take the initiative of the discourse, and not give Cheng Yu the space to be godly, so that he would stop riddling people and spit out more useful information.

On the other hand, since Cheng Yu was able to respond normally, it also meant that he could hear Jiang Xia’s description of the previous reincarnations.

This wheeling trip doesn’t seem so lonely anymore.

“Cheng Yu, Mr. Cheng Yu, it’s because I was too excited just now, I forgot to introduce myself to you, my name is Jiang Xia, I’m 26 years old, I’m a standard hobo, and according to the normal development of the timeline, in the future, we might have a not-so-pleasant patient relationship. But before that, we are completely passersby who have never met before, and it’s impossible for me to have any memories between you and me, so…”

Jiang Xia finally turned around and gazed at Cheng Yu, his blade-like face hung with a melancholic and confused countenance.

“I’m supposed to resemble someone in your life, who exactly have you mistaken me for?”

“No, it shouldn’t be, she’s an only child and doesn’t have any siblings, how could there be someone in the world that looks so much like her, it can’t be that you’re lying to me, you’ve been nowhere to be found since that car accident, it was only because I eavesdropped on their conversations that I realized that you’re still alive, and even though… even though you’ve become so bad in their mouths, I’ve been looking forward to you day and night for you to appear again.”

“Maybe it’s the same person you’re hoping for with another infatuated guy.”

With the matter at hand, Jiang Xia finally converged all the clues in his mind and threaded them into a logical and self-consistent line.

Why does Cheng Yu always stare at her since Jiang Xia joined the company; why does Lin Qing’s call record look like it’s from someone who doesn’t work at all; why do Lin Qing and Cheng Yu repeatedly identify her as the wrong person; why does Cheng Yu address her that way in his diary; why does Han Ningyi feel hostile towards her when she comes to see Cheng Yu in the daytime and Liu Ziqing treats her with respect, and why does Cheng Yu tell her to hurry up and leave.

In fact, as early as the night Cheng Yu committed suicide, Jiang Xia should have noticed that in his diary, there had been written in black and white his intimate name for his wife.

“Mr. Cheng Yu, that night when you had the accident, you should have been in the direction of driving away from Wanxiang Plaza, right? Your wife, she was sitting in the passenger seat, and when the accident happened, you should have been leaving Wanxiang Plaza.”

“If you really aren’t her, and haven’t been in that car accident, how do you know in such detail…who the hell are you?”

“Me?” Jiang Xia sneered as she once again felt sorry for Cheng Yu’s pathetic ordeal.

“Once again, I am nothing but the hobo Jiang Xia, not your dead wife, Tang Ei!”

The duo did not notice that within the compartment that neither Cheng Yu nor Jiang Xia had entered, there was a red point of light flickering faintly.

Inside another restroom in the emergency department, Liu Ziqing contentedly took off her eavesdropping device and dialed the phone.

“It’s not too far from your guess, this trick of using two birds with one stone is too coincidental, yes, she shouldn’t be Tang Ei, but in terms of the things she knows, she should be more useful than Tang Ei, don’t worry about it, her other companion has already gotten into the bureau that I’ve set up beforehand, and she won’t be able to escape easily either.”

“You’re right, Ran Yi.”
