Chapter 820 - I Am Chen Xiu (2/2)

”Because it doesn't concern you,” replied Darren.

Ah-Si chuckled at him, ”Do you what her identity is right now? She is Bai Xiu. Apparently, the long lost daughter of my uncle and aunt. That identity makes her my cousin. And you're telling me it doesn't concern me?” He licked his lips saying, ”I deserve to know who is occupying the body of my cousin. Don't you think so?”

”It's not like I took it by force,” Xiu chimed in. ”Do you think I wanted to have this body or this identity? No, of course not! When I decided to jump down from that balcony, I indeed was willing to die! I never asked for this weird second chance. Although I've come to love this second chance, however, I never asked for it!”

”So, you're accepting that you're Chen Xiu?” asked Ah-Si.

”When did I accept it? Do you have any evidence to prove your words?”

Ah-Si nodded his head slightly before he took his phone out and played the video he had accidentally recorded that day. Seeing the video both Darren and Xiu again gave him a look.

”It was purely an accident that I ended up recording it that day. Ava was playing around, I wanted to record her moments to show it to Nora but you both ended up getting recorded instead because I was so lost after listening to you both that I forgot to turn the camera off.”

Xiu rubbed her forehead as she felt a headache coming up. What a weird day she was having today! Everything was going in the direction she never thought it would!

She looked at Darren and silently asked through her eyes, 'Can we keep up with our lie?'

'What do you think?' was his silent response.

Xiu sighed out before she deleted the video and threw the phone back at Ah-Si saying, ”Kiddo, keeping such videos can be dangerous. Don't you know how many people wanted Chen Xiu dead? What if you got involved in this mess?” She kept rubbing her temple before adding, ”You didn't make a copy of it, did you?”

Ah-Si shook his head, ”I didn't.”

Seeing how he was still staring at her, she asked, ”What are you waiting for now?”

”To hear what I came to hear,” replied Ah-Si.

Xiu placed her hand under her chin as said, ”You already have the answer to your own question though.”

”I do,” replied Ah-Si in a rather calm tone now. ”But I would like to hear it from you.”

Xiu breathed out and looked straight at him as she said, ”I am Chen Xiu.” Ah-Si nodded his head as he heard her telling it straight to him. ”Whether you call it a miracle or my mental illness, it doesn't matter. But it won't change the truth that I am indeed Chen Xiu. Now, it's up to you what you're gonna do with this fact.” She took a pause and added, ”But I'd suggest you make peace with it as soon as possible. It's a fact you won't be able to confront.”

”Who else knows about it?” asked Ah-Si. ”Apart from Darren?”

”Dylan knows,” replied Darren.

”And he believed it?” questioned Ah-Si strangely.

”It's not like he had any other choice,” said Xiu.

”If you can't come to terms with this truth,” said Darren. ”I suggest you forget whatever you heard, Ah-Si. As I said earlier, it really doesn't concern you. Because whoever is inside the shell, it won't change anything around here.”
