Chapter 771: I Don’t Know Who Zhai Yao Is

Su Cha’s angle was tricky and her question was strange. Lian Chi did not expect it.

He was speechless and quickly said, “I was really too busy…”

It was obvious that what she had said was unrealistic, but Lian Chi could not find a reason to refute her.

Su Cha just smiled and did not say anything.

Lian Chi was a smart person. He knew that he had made too many mistakes. He suddenly asked about Bo Muyi. “Have you and Bo Muyi… been together for a long time?”

As he spoke, he lowered his head and drank his coffee to hide his emotions. No one could understand what he was thinking.

“Does it have anything to do with us?”

Su Cha could not be bothered to answer his question.

“You…”

Lian Chi raised his head. He seemed to be a little angry because of Su Cha’s repeated attacks.

Pain flashed in his eyes. “You weren’t like this in the past. I said that I’ve had my difficulties. Why can’t you understand me or forgive me?”

“Forgive?”

Su Cha raised her eyebrows in surprise. “Why do you need my forgiveness? Your matter has nothing to do with me. How can I forgive you?”

She had always been very clear about not mixing Lian Chi’s matter with her.

This made Lian Chi very uncomfortable.

He was finally a little angry. “I know you still blame me in your heart, but you can’t erase our relationship just like that.”

Su Cha remained calm and said, “We never had one.”

Lian Chi’s heart skipped a beat. He wanted to say something, but in the end, he suddenly became calm. His smile was even a little cold. “When you were young, you always followed me. ‘Brother Xiao Chi, Brother Xiao Chi,’ you called me. Do you think I didn’t know back then? You always treated me as his substitute. I only felt that you were looking at his shadow through me.”

His sudden words stunned Su Cha.

A substitute?

She didn’t have her memories at that time. She did not even know who Bo Muyi was, but Lian Chi said that she only regarded him as Bo Muyi’s substitute?

But how did Lian Chi know about her childhood with Bo Muyi?

Seeing that she did not speak, Lian Chi thought that he had guessed her thoughts. Unexpectedly, she smiled and said, “If you think I was using you as a substitute, then that must be how it was.”

It was too funny.

She only treated Lian Chi as a family member, but to him, she was doing something that should make her feel guilty. In that case, Su Cha admitted it.

Perhaps she really remembered Bo Muyi subconsciously, so she treated Lian Chi as his shadow.

These words made Lian Chi’s expression turn ugly. He could not bear it anymore, but Su Cha’s words stunned him. “I don’t care if you had difficulties in the past or if you think that I only saw you as a substitute. I want to know what you intended by making Zhai Yao get close to me.”

She had kept this matter in her heart from the beginning. In the end, she had to ask.

She used to be so close to Lian Chi. Why did he send Zhai Yao to get close to her in the end and lie to her that he had difficulties when it came to contacting her?

He could contact Zhai Yao, but he could not contact her directly?

From the beginning, he had been lying to Su Cha.

When he heard Zhai Yao’s name, Lian Chi’s pupils constricted. He restrained his emotions and picked up the coffee cup to stir. “Who is Zhai Yao? I don’t know him.”

Su Cha sneered.
