In just three days, Jiang Cheng laid a thoroughly compiled dossier in front of Gu Cheng'an.
If he wasn't so familiar with Ji Xiaoxi, Gu Cheng'an would have suspected that the girl in the photo, looping her arm through Ji Zongwen's, smiling so bright and bold, had been deliberately Photoshopped in.
Staring at that photo, Gu Cheng'an felt a wave of desolation wash over him.
At a glance, the photo was taken during the period when Ji Zongwen was convalescing: he was dressed in loose casual clothes, sitting on a sun lounger by the swimming pool in the backyard of the Ji Family Mansion.
On Ji Zongwen's left side sat Lv Manrou, holding Ji Miao in her arms, and on his right was Ji Xiaoxi, beaming as she clung to his arm.
Although anyone could tell at once that these four were a family, that sense of appearances masking estrangement seeped out of every frame of the photo.
