Jiang Chenyue seemed not to hear her words at all, repeatedly scrutinizing her arm as if she wanted to discern a flower from it!
Moreover, she was so enraptured that, in her emotional turmoil, she failed to notice that she was gripping too tightly—Chu Xi almost cried out.
Only by clenching her teeth could Chu Xi barely suppress the cry of pain that almost escaped her lips.
"Did you say that before your dad picked you up, someone else had taken you in?" Jiang Chenyue suddenly looked up and asked.
The intense gaze startled Chu Xi.
It was a look that seemed to warn her, if she dared to lie, the consequences would surely be dire.
A vague speculation had already formed in her mind, and Jiang Chenyue's current reaction further confirmed her suspicion.
Perhaps the lost 'Chu Xi' had some kind of mark on her arm. Coincidentally, she too had a similar mark on her arm; Jiang Chenyue might have seen this mark, and coupled with her background, misunderstood her identity.
