Chapter 846 - 827: Tell Me About Your Past
Ji Nanming looked at Lin Qianqian sitting opposite him. To be honest, if they just sat here, Qin Mobai really couldn’t tell which one was Lou Xi and which one was Lin Qianqian.
He was previously able to detect that Lin Qianqian was not Lou Xi because there were things only he and Lou Xi knew, things an impostor could never know.
Ji Nanming himself is a meticulous person, and it’s hard for anyone to not show their flaws in front of him.
However, if Lin Qianqian and Lou Xi are truly sisters, this matter seems to become more serious.
"Did you come to see me for something?" Lin Qianqian looked into Ji Nanming’s deep eyes, finding his gaze extraordinarily chilly under the light, not knowing what he was thinking, nor what his purpose was this time.
Not knowing anything made Lin Qianqian very uneasy.
However, after Lin Qianqian asked, Ji Nanming didn’t answer her, instead just sat in the chair, looking at the girl opposite.
If Shen Youran knew that years ago she gave birth to a pair of twins, and Lin Qianqian later impersonated Lou Xi, nearly causing immeasurable consequences, Shen Youran, knowing everything, would surely be heartbroken.
But if Lin Qianqian is truly Shen Youran’s daughter, and he, like Shen Yucheng and the others, kept this from Shen Youran, that would truly be a kind of harm to Shen Youran.
"Who are you, what did you do before? Briefly tell me about your past experiences."
Ji Nanming’s sudden inquiry about Lin Qianqian’s past made the girl sitting opposite involuntarily wary.
"Why... are you asking so much?"
"To hire a lawyer for you." Ji Nanming said, "As far as I know, you don’t have the money to hire a lawyer. The lawyers in Nancheng would see Qin Mobai’s face, and even those doing legal aid wouldn’t dare take the case."
Ji Nanming saw Lin Qianqian’s embarrassment, but...
"I don’t plan to hire a lawyer; I’ll just defend myself then."
"Do you think people from the prosecutor’s office are just pushovers?"
"..." Lin Qianqian was shut down by Ji Nanming’s words, but what could she do? She indeed couldn’t afford a lawyer, what else could she do?
However, Lin Qianqian didn’t want to tell Ji Nanming about her past.
Those unbearable memories make her feel uncomfortable every time she recounts them, like peeling back a scar, and blood would flow nonstop, causing intense pain.
The last time she talked to Qin Mobai, wanting his sympathy, was one thing; needing to express the suppressed matters in her heart was quite another.
But she didn’t want to tell Ji Nanming this way. The more people knew about her past, the more she felt ashamed and on the verge of collapse.
"Just go, I don’t want to see you again." Lin Qianqian stood up from the chair, intending to leave.
"Do you really want to be convicted and stay in prison? You truly don’t need my help?"
Lin Qianqian looked at Ji Nanming, not understanding why this man was so keen on helping her, "If you help me, is there a condition attached?"
Ji Nanming looked at Lin Qianqian’s face, which was identical to Lou Xi’s, "Sit down first, have some water, and let’s talk slowly."
Lin Qianqian pursed her lips, so she could only sit down, pick up the water cup in front of her, and take a sip, "No need to talk slowly, if you really wanted to help me, you wouldn’t use my past as leverage for exchange. I’ve seen too many of these games played by rich people like you."
She seemed to have experienced all worldly matters, showing a calm and composed demeanor.
