Chapter 2183 - 2384: Revelations of the Past

Liang Yuwei had been tidying things up just now, but when she saw someone knocking on the door and Hao Jian and Liang Xiaohan went out without bringing the person in, she felt a little puzzled and walked over to look, curiously asking, "What are you doing!"

However, just as she said this, she had already walked up behind Hao Jian. Hao Jian almost jumped up from fright when he heard her, and Liang Xiaohan also froze for a moment. Luckily, Liang Yuwei's gaze was looking straight ahead, so she didn't see Hao Jian's reaction, but directly looked at Zhang Danlin.

At the moment she saw Zhang Danlin, she was a bit stunned. Who is this girl from, and how could she be so beautiful? At the same time, she wondered who she was and what her relationship was with Hao Jian and Liang Yuwei. People don't just knock on doors for no reason, right? She then looked directly at Liang Xiaohan, and suspiciously asked, "Xiaohan, is she your classmate?"

Upon hearing Liang Yuwei's question, Hao Jian immediately felt tense, knowing that his fate was now in Liang Xiaohan's hands. If she rambled nonsense at this point, he would be doomed. He stood behind Liang Yuwei, taking advantage of her not seeing, and desperately signaled to Liang Xiaohan.

But Liang Xiaohan just laughed, saying, "Oh, she's a classmate. She came over to hang out today."

As soon as Liang Xiaohan said this, Hao Jian immediately relaxed his heart, but he also knew that Liang Xiaohan wouldn't let him off the hook so easily for no reason, and surely there would be conditions. Sure enough, right after she finished speaking, she gave him a look that clearly said, "I'm helping you this time; see how you repay me."

Hao Jian quickly displayed a grateful expression, indicating that he would remember this favor and repay her doubly in the future. Only then did Liang Xiaohan nod her satisfaction.

As soon as Liang Yuwei heard that the visitor was Liang Xiaohan's classmate, a smile appeared on her face, and she said to Zhang Danlin, "Oh, Xiaohan's classmate, since you're here to play with Xiaohan, why are you standing outside? Come in quickly."

Speaking, Liang Yuwei smiled as she let Zhang Danlin come in, then glanced at Hao Jian and Liang Xiaohan and said, "Since there's a guest, why let the guest stand outside? That's not polite."

Liang Xiaohan said nothing, sticking out her tongue and showing a playful side, while Hao Jian nodded, admitting Brother Zhang's mistake.

Zhang Danlin stood outside the door looking puzzled, completely unsure of what was going on. She first heard Liang Xiaohan's voice and was surprised to find Liang Xiaohan here, which was enough to surprise her. It turned out that Hao Jian said it was not convenient because Liang Xiaohan was here, so it was inconvenient. But then, unexpectedly, another woman appeared, and from the tone, she called Liang Xiaohan "Xiaohan," suggesting she was older, seemingly a sister.

So, who was this suddenly appearing woman? She seemed to have an unusual relationship with both Hao Jian and Liang Xiaohan, calling them both by name. Could she be Liang Xiaohan's cousin? The word popped into her mind as she remembered Liang Xiaohan had previously told her to stay away from Hao Jian, saying Hao Jian was her cousin's.

She was perplexed, unsure of what was going on, or what she should do. Originally, she just wanted to meet Hao Jian, but unexpectedly, things had spiraled out of control and veered off the intended track.

And now, it seemed there was only one path before her: since she was already there, she might as well go in. Besides, she really wanted to figure out what was happening, as she couldn't remain in the dark; otherwise, she would always feel uncomfortable inside. So, she followed Hao Jian and Liang Xiaohan inside.

"Don't talk nonsense, got it!" Hao Jian quietly warned beside Liang Xiaohan.

However, Liang Xiaohan gave him a look, not afraid of his threat at all, and softly replied, "Shut your mouth. You need to explain everything clearly about this matter, or else I won't let you off easily."

Hao Jian dared not speak anymore. If Liang Xiaohan really started spouting nonsense, then he would truly be in trouble. The plan now was to placate this little ancestor properly. Zhang Danlin was led by Liang Xiaohan to sit on the couch in the living room.

"Here, have some fruit." By this time, Liang Yuwei had already prepared a plate of fruit and brought it over.

"Thank you," Zhang Danlin said, then looked up at Liang Yuwei, curiously asking, "Excuse me, sister, what's your relationship with Liang Xiaohan? Are you her sister?"

Hao Jian was taken aback, not understanding why Zhang Danlin suddenly asked this question. Could it be that she knew something? If she knew, it would save him from explaining, but the worst-case scenario was if she found out and then caused a scene. After all, three women make a drama; there were three women here, none of whom were easy to handle. Any of them could stir up trouble; he'd be isolated with no defense. What would he do then?

He frowned, but Liang Yuwei just smiled casually, answering, "Yes, I'm Xiaohan's cousin. So, how is Xiaohan's performance at school? Does she often skip classes and annoy the teachers or anything?"

Liang Xiaohan didn't expect Liang Yuwei to ask such questions, and immediately retorted, "Cousin, it's not good to question people when they're just here to play."

Liang Yuwei just smiled, then picked up her things and said, "Alright, alright, I won't ask. You chat with your classmate, I'll go take care of other things."

Speaking, she walked off, then glanced at Hao Jian, saying, "What are you standing there for? Come help me."

"Oh!" Hao Jian quickly responded and ran over to help Liang Yuwei.

At this point, Zhang Danlin's face was filled with even more confusion. She thought, since this person was Liang Xiaohan's cousin, having Liang Xiaohan, Hao Jian, and her cousin together must mean what Liang Xiaohan previously said was true, making her the "third wheel".

Zhang Danlin suddenly felt her face reddening, feeling a bit embarrassed. She had always thought Liang Xiaohan was deceiving her to keep her away from Hao Jian. But since Liang Xiaohan hadn't confirmed any relationship with Hao Jian, when single, everyone has the right to pursue love. She certainly wouldn't give up on Hao Jian.

But now, it seems like what Liang Xiaohan said was true. Judging by the way her cousin spoke to Hao Jian, it seemed they must have an unusual relationship, appearing to be a romantic one. Women understand women best; she could see certain signs from Liang Yuwei's gaze at Hao Jian.

Although she didn't understand why Liang Xiaohan's cousin, who must be older than Hao Jian, was with him, since Hao Jian was around the same age as Liang Xiaohan and her? This confused her a bit, but it wasn't important.

So, what was she doing now? She suddenly felt utterly embarrassed.

"Yes, you guessed right." At this moment, only Zhang Danlin and Liang Xiaohan were left in the living room, and Liang Xiaohan knew what was on her mind, so she spoke up.

Zhang Danlin furrowed her brow slightly, revealing a bit of confusion. Liang Xiaohan smiled, saying, "She's my cousin and Hao Jian's girlfriend, like I mentioned before. You've officially met today."

Rendered speechless, Zhang Danlin felt increasingly uncomfortable upon guessing all this, even more so when Liang Xiaohan said it. If Hao Jian was with Liang Xiaohan's cousin, then what was she now?

"Sorry! I've disturbed you!" Zhang Danlin suddenly stood up, and after speaking with Liang Xiaohan, swiftly headed towards the door.

Seeing this, Liang Xiaohan smiled, looking pleased. She finally helped her cousin solve a big issue. This way, the bees and butterflies around Hao Jian would reduce significantly, making her quite proud.

Feeling that if she stayed any longer, she'd certainly die of embarrassment, Zhang Danlin could sense her face was already red and burning intensively. She left hastily and ran downstairs. Otherwise, she wouldn't know how to face Liang Xiaohan's cousin.

As she walked, she took out her phone and sent a message to Hao Jian, each word aiming straight to the heart. She hesitated briefly after typing but eventually pressed the send button.

"Hao Jian, from now on, let's meet less. Bye." Zhang Danlin.

The message was sent, but at this moment, Hao Jian had no mind to check the message content because he was being questioned by Liang Yuwei in the room, not letting him go out.

Indeed, women's intuition is sharp. As soon as she saw Zhang Danlin's eyes constantly drifting towards Hao Jian from the moment she entered, her sixth sense told her Zhang Danlin was certainly more than just a classmate and had a connection with Hao Jian. So, she used an excuse to call Hao Jian over and once he was there, shut him inside the room to interrogate him thoroughly.

Hao Jian felt helpless now; unexpectedly, women's instincts were this strong. He could only tell the truth and explain everything once.

Upon hearing, Liang Yuwei seemed a bit enlightened, suspiciously scrutinizing Hao Jian, saying, "So... You mean to say your charm is so great that as soon as she sees you, she's attracted, and she's clinging to you endlessly."

"Mhm," Hao Jian nodded emphatically.

But then he noticed Liang Yuwei's odd expression and quickly amended, "Well, that's not entirely true. It's... you know, just like that."
