Chapter 1182 - It Seemed Like He Want to Freeze Her (2/2)

Closing her eyes tightly, her face paled when she thought of how she had almost lost her life.

Before she could recover from her shock and fear, a deafening shout sounded by her ear. “Are you an idiot? Didn’t you know how dangerous it was? If you want to die, how about I strangle you to death right now?”

Xia Yanran opened her eyes and looked at the man who had released her and was half kneeling beside her. His face was icy cold, sharp and menacing. His dark eyes that were staring at her were like the endless black hole of the universe, wanting to devour and destroy her.

Xia Yanran swallowed in fear.

To be honest, when Xiao Yi was angry, it was no less terrifying than a volcano erupting.

He was in a rage and Xia Yanran dared not shout at him. Lowering her eyes, she admitted her mistake obediently. “I won’t do this again.”

Gritting his teeth, Xiao Yi stood up and ignored Xia Yanran. Xia Yanran felt that the danger was far away from her and slowly stood up from the ground.

Jue Chen’s arm was burned. Fortunately, Xiao Yi had rushed in time to save her, otherwise, she would not have only injured her arm.

Xia Yanran handed the beads she had picked up to Jue Chen. Jue Chen held the beads tightly, looking at Xia Yanran and then at Xiao Yi, saying hoa.r.s.ely, “Come with me!”

Jue Chen brought Xia Yanran and Xiao Yi to a quiet room.

“After the two of you left, I was burning something in the room and caused a fire accidentally. Fortunately, you came in time and saved me.”

Jue Chen pinched the prayer beads in her hand and closed her eyes, a deep sigh coming out from her throat. “You can ask what you want to know!”

Xia Yanran looked at Jue Chen’s arm that was wrapped with bandage and thought of how Shu Min had called her and mentioned some things about Yi Ran’s childhood.

Shu Min said that Yi Ran had fallen down from the tree and injured her left arm when she was a child. After the bone was joined back, her elbow was still a little crooked.

Xia Yanran looked at Jue Chen’s elbow, crazed thoughts running around her mind. Suddenly, she seemed to have understood something.

“You’re Yi Ran, aren’t you? If I’m right, the one in the Capital is Xiao Xi.”

Xiao Yi and Jue Chen’s gazes landed on Xia Yanran.

Xia Yanran met Jue Chen’s eyes and she did not miss the surprise that had flashed past Jue Chen’s eyes. Perhaps she had never thought that Xia Yanran would have guessed it!

The stunned reaction Xia Yanran became more sure of her guess. “I heard from Sister Shu that Yi Ran had fallen in love with a man and was very sad after the man’s death. I’ve wondered why after falling deeply in love with a man, she was able to like another so quickly? No wonder…

“You’re the real Yi Ran and the one in the Capital is Xiao Xi. Xiao Xi had disguised herself as you and lived with your ident.i.ty. She used to like Xiao Yi, and after living as you, she still could not help being moved after seeing Xiao Yi! But Xiao Yi was too heartless to her before, so she was embroiled in love and hate, causing so many things to happen!”

Jue Chen was silent for a moment before she looked at Xia Yanran.

“You’re just as Xiao Xi had described, a clever woman. Maybe too clever. You’re right. I’m the real Yi Ran.”

Xiao Yi did not think of this outcome at all and he frowned, his lips pursed together tightly.

So the Yi Ran in prison was Xiao Xi, the adoptive daughter who had broken all ties with him.

She was able to imitate Yi Ran in such a way that her manner, voice and gestures were so different from before that he did not even find anything suspicious about her ident.i.ty.

Xia Yanran looked at Jue Chen. “You know me?”

Jue Chen nodded. “I’ve heard Xiaoxi mention you before.” Then, she looked at Xiao Yi. “And Mr Xiao.”

Xiao Yi and Xia Yanran did not interrupt because they knew that Jue Chen still had things to say.
