Although it sounded logical, Mu Xiaoxiao didn’t fully believe her and still continued to maintain her suspicions.

Xin Zimo pointed to the bench at the side and said, “Let’s go there and have a seat. I want to talk to you more.”

“Okay.” Mu Xiaoxiao kept up her smile.

The two walked over and sat down. The bodyguard stood behind Mu Xiaoxiao.

Xin Zimo asked, “Did you just come from China?”

“Yeah,” Mu Xiaoxiao said.

“Do you come specifically to… visit someone?” When Xin Zimo asked that, her expression was somewhat unnatural and her eyes were fixed on Mu Xiaoxiao.

“No. I only came to the hospital to visit someone as a side trip. I came here for other reasons.” Mu Xiaoxiao suddenly laughed. “The conversation we’ve been having feels so strange. It’s as if we’re doing an interview. You seem to be very curious about me.”

Xin Zimo slapped her thigh abruptly as she grinned.

“Alright, I’ll tell you the truth!” She laughed, looking a little embarrassed.

“Have you been lying to me just now?” Mu Xiaoxiao looked at her uncomprehendingly.

“Not really… The things that I told you are true, but I haven’t made something clear.” Xin Zimo looked at her and said, “Actually, I know about you.”

“You know about me?” What was the meaning of that? So she was also putting on an act earlier about not knowing her!

Xin Zimo nodded, looking a little lonely. “You’re Brother Yichen’s friend, aren’t you? You’re here to visit him, right?”

“How do you know?” Mu Xiaoxiao’s brows furrowed as she looked at her.

Xin Zimo laughed. “To be more accurate, I only saw your photo in Brother Yichen’s phone, so I only know that you know Brother Yichen but I didn’t know your name until today.”

Photo?

Mu Xiaoxiao looked puzzled.

Her WeChat’s profile photo wasn’t her own photo, so she couldn’t have seen her profile photo when Lu Yichen was chatting with her via WeChat.

Could it be that Lu Yichen was looking at her photo taken in Moments and then Xin Zimo happened to see it?

Without needing Mu Xiaoxiao to ask, Xin Zimo said it herself, “I have known Brother Yichen for many years. Before my mother married and moved to America, my family lived next to Brother Yichen. I was his neighbor.”

Mu Xiaoxiao didn’t expect her to be related to Lu Yichen in any way.

“So was Lu Yichen the one who told you that Auntie Lu was hospitalized here?” If so, then Lu Yichen should have a pretty good relationship with her.

“No,” Xin Zimo sighed. “Ever since I came to America, I lost contact with Brother Yichen, so I didn’t expect to meet him here so coincidentally!”

As she said that, Xin Zimo couldn’t hide the happiness in her expression.

Seeing that, Mu Xiaoxiao thought that she girl probably liked Lu Yichen.

But…

Why did she still want to put poison in Auntie Lu’s food?

Mu Xiaoxiao had always been proud of her clever brain but at this moment, she was confused.

Suddenly, Xin Zimo stared at Mu Xiaoxiao, and she asked very directly, “I want to ask you one thing. Do you like Brother Yichen?”

Mu Xiaoxiao was still dwelling over the question of whether Xin Zimo was a bad person or not, so she wasn’t able to respond quickly.

She stared blankly for a while.
