Chapter 31
The man sitting in the high seat slightly turned his head, finally willing to spare a glance from the cat he was holding in his arms to the person kneeling below.
His voice was gentle and charming, but for the vast majority, this charm was unbearable.
He asked with interest, “Are you sure it’s not the person he’s looking for? Didn’t you say earlier that it had been investigated and confirmed to be someone from the Shen family?”
The black-clad woman kneeling and reporting spoke with a hoarse voice, “It has been confirmed that it’s Shen Meng, her biological father only had one child, and only Shen Meng returned that year.”
The Shen family had few female heirs in recent years, and Shen Meng didn’t have any cousins of similar age. The daughter born to her stepfather, Shen Li, also didn’t fit the conditions for rescuing Xue Ning. The result of their investigation was undoubtedly accurate.
The man leaned back to his original position somewhat disappointedly, “It’s really boring. It would’ve been so much better if they had found the wrong person.”
Although he knew the probability was low, the thought of the amusement he would derive from such a mistake amused him. The kneeling woman dared not easily respond to his remarks.
After a moment, the man asked again, “If that’s the case, why does Shen Meng seem unaffected by anything? She hasn’t hit her head, and there have been no signs of memory loss.”
The kneeling woman hesitated before replying, “Perhaps it’s to prevent Master Liang from feeling sad? Men generally don’t like such things, right?”
The man snorted, “Are you kidding me? Birds of a feather flock together. Can you tell me which of your eyes saw her deeply in love with her husband?”
The notebook mainly contained complex-looking diagrams, repeated symbols, and intersecting lines.
He tentatively asked Shen Meng, “Are these names of people written by you?”
In fact, based on the arrangement of these strange diagrams, he could vaguely guess what Shen Meng was referring to, but he had no way of understanding the specifics.
Sitting across from him, Shen Meng propped her chin on her hand and looked at him. When Liang Jue asked, she replied leisurely, “My husband really has a reputation for being intelligent. If you think so, then it is.”
Liang Jue looked at her somewhat disappointedly, his eyes appearing somewhat moist, and his tone sounded somewhat unwilling, “Can’t I be included?”
Shen Meng said word by word, “You can’t be included.”
There were some things that she could vaguely reveal to him, but in the current situation, she wouldn’t disclose all her secrets.
This Liang Jue was different from the one in the previous life. They hadn’t spent many years together; it would take a long period of adjustment before she could entrust enough secrets to him.
Although it sounded somewhat heartless, she didn’t trust Mother Shen, Shen Li, or Liang Jue in this life either.
From another perspective, she guarded a huge secret that was related to how she died in her previous life. Before when she found out, it become like a sword of death hanging above her head, ready to strike her fragile neck at any moment.
And for the time being, she didn’t plan to involve Liang Jue in it, for the sake of protection and disbelief.
