Gu Sen Xiang's twin brother, Gu Sen Xi, was standing nearby, curiously observing Li Xiao Yue—this woman who looked so similar to his twin sister.
His gaze darted back and forth between the two, trying to find any subtle differences.
He finally realized that, aside from a slight age difference, it was difficult to distinguish between them.
Gu Sen Xi quickly accepted this reality.
He walked over to Li Xiao Yue and affectionately called out, "Sister!"
Then, he turned to Na Juan and shouted without hesitation, "Brother-in-law!"
At this moment, the warm atmosphere of a family reunion reached its peak.
Their faces were beaming with happiness and contentment, and the entire police station was infected by this deep familial love.
The atmosphere was one of joyous harmony, everyone gathered together, laughter echoing through the room.
Suddenly, the door was pushed open, and an unexpected figure burst in.
This uninvited guest was none other than Gu Sen Xiang's boyfriend—Qi Ming.
Qi Ming, although seemingly handsome and somewhat charming, appeared unusually restrained, even a little timid, hesitant to approach.
He stood there, his eyes shifting about, clearly hesitant.
After all, his campus romance with Gu Sen Xiang had always been kept semi-secret,
their most intimate gesture being simply holding hands, and they had never been seen together in public.
Now, facing Gu Sen Xiang's family, he naturally felt somewhat awkward.
Na Juan had been observing Qi Ming's behavior with a cold eye.
As Gu Sen Xiang's brother-in-law, he felt no fondness for this man who had suddenly appeared.
In his opinion, Qi Ming was like a spineless pretty boy who was completely unworthy of Gu Sen Xiang.
Thinking of how Gu Sen Xiang, originally a carefree and innocent girl, had been entangled in trouble and nearly lost her life because of this fickle and inattentive boyfriend, Na Juan's anger rose.
This bastard Qi Ming, having already secured a girlfriend like Gu Sen Xiang, who was both kind and considerate, was still not satisfied, and he constantly flirted with other girls.
Especially that Yi Yao, their relationship was shrouded in mystery, and it was impossible to tell what was really going on.
Not only that, he had also attracted the attention of the ruthless Tang Xiao Mi.
Tang Xiao Mi, mistakenly believing that Yi Yao was Qi Ming's real girlfriend, felt jealousy and resentment,
and to get revenge on Yi Yao, she deliberately had a rogue send a false message to Yi Yao, claiming that Qi Ming was waiting for her at the back gate of the school.
Tang Xiao Mi, who had intended to frame Yi Yao with this message, did not expect that Yi Yao, knowing that Gu Sen Xiang was actually Qi Ming's true girlfriend, would not hesitate to forward the message to Gu Sen Xiang.
The outcome was predictable. Gu Sen Xiang, unaware of the truth, went to the meeting, only to face an unexpected danger and tragedy.
In that timeline, Gu Sen Xiang had tragically died in a fall.
And the ultimate culprit for all of this was none other than the irresponsible Qi Ming.
Thinking of this, Na Juan could no longer contain his anger.
He strode toward Qi Ming, looking down at the shrinking man with disdain.
"You actually have the nerve to show your face here?
Do you know that if I hadn't gotten to the scene in time to catch Gu Sen Xiang when she fell, she would have been dead by now!
And it's all because of you!"
Faced with Na Juan's accusations and anger, Qi Ming's face instantly turned pale as paper.
He hastily tried to explain, "This has nothing to do with me!
It's all Tang Xiao Mi and Yi Yao's fault… it has nothing to do with me..."
However, his voice was so weak and feeble, unable to conceal his inner panic and fear.
Na Juan knew in his heart that Gu Sen Xiang's death in the previous timeline couldn't be attributed to a single cause, but was a tragedy brought about by a combination of factors.
Tang Xiao Mi undoubtedly bore the primary responsibility, her malicious actions were a direct catalyst.
Yi Yao also had a share of the blame, she forwarded the fatal message to Gu Sen Xiang.
Qi Ming, as Gu Sen Xiang's boyfriend, was also undeniably culpable.
His flirtatious behavior had not only led Tang Xiao Mi to misunderstand, but also indirectly caused a series of subsequent events.
Gu Sen Xiang's foster parents also had an undeniable responsibility in this tragedy.
They had always treated Gu Sen Xiang like their own daughter, creating a world of pampering and protection for her from a young age.
Growing up in such an environment, Gu Sen Xiang had hardly experienced any setbacks, like a flower in a greenhouse, unable to withstand the storms of the outside world.
However, this excessive protection did not make Gu Sen Xiang stronger, it instead made her resilience and ability to withstand adversity extremely weak.
Once faced with difficulties, she would easily crumble.
At this moment, Na Juan didn't want to blame others too much, he focused his anger on Qi Ming.
He couldn't stand seeing Qi Ming with Gu Sen Xiang, he just wanted to scare this guy away.
Just now, when Gu Sen Xiang was lying in his arms, weak and fragile, Na Juan couldn't help but feel a pang of pity for his sister-in-law.
He felt a strong urge to protect her, to protect this innocent, sweet, and gentle school beauty, to prevent her from being sullied by Qi Ming and other infatuated men...
At that moment, Na Juan was completely oblivious to the fact that Gu Sen Xiang's eyes, as she looked at him, were filled with tears...
