To Love You Again

Chapter 485 - A Secret Revealed

Xiong Wuyue was once the former rising Entertainment Queen. She was a former top model and was known as the Modelling Star. She was the princess of the Xiong family. She once stood over people\'s heads, someone powerful enough to dictate other\'s life and death.

But now...

There was no trace left of those fine and precious titles on the woman\'s face.

Xiong Wuyue lost her grandeur.

Her yellowed skin and her sunken cheeks were prominent. Since becoming thin, her eyes appeared bigger in their sockets. Her previously thin body now turned almost skeleton-like. Her hair lost its natural shine and became dull and yellow.

What was more surprising was the air she exuded.

The former Xiong Wuyue was indeed haughty and arrogant, but she still had the noble air of a pampered lady around her.

Right now, she was still haughty and arrogant, but her aura had transformed into something unnerving, like that of an insane patient from a mental hospital. It showed every time she let out a giggle or speak of senseless words, like now.

Guan Gao Huan exhaled and drank tea to collect himself.

The surprise in his eyes also faded.

Xiong Wuyue fell to this extent in just a few months?

It was true that the help of this useless woman\'s father was cut off and all her properties were on hold.

But surely, Xiong De must have left something behind for his beloved daughter, hidden properties like an unregistered villa, an underground firm, or saved money in an anonymous account.

Xiong De was a man with many sins after all.?He would definitely leave an escape route.

Guan Gao Huan\'s thoughts were right.

Xiong De had prepared many routes beforehand.

However, when Xiong De was taken to prison so suddenly, Xiong Zhi immediately cut off those routes one by one. She did not even spare a single one.

Also, Xiong Wuyue herself was left behind by her manager and the servants of the mansion, and was not informed of most of those routes. And Xiong Wuyue\'s handling the situation just made things worst.

But Guan Gao Huan never really cared for this useless pair.

Their relationship was to use each other for their interests. And right now, he was the king and they were the pawns which he had thrown away.

Guan Gao Huan glanced at the door.

They were the only people left in this room.

The butler had left immediately after serving tea. This secret should not be known to anyone else, even his trustworthy aides must not know.

"Miss Xiong Wuyue, you seem convinced that I\'m not the real Guan Gao Huan? That\'s really funny."

Xiong Wuyue stopped giggling and raised her brow to Gao Huan.

"But you know it\'s true. I\'m certain. My mind is very clear right now, I can see things I\'ve never noticed before," Xiong Wuyue said hoarsely.

Her large eyes seemed to absorb all light. "That scar might have healed after so long, but there will be something remaining. And your eyes, they changed too."

"People heal and change a lot from childhood to a.d.u.l.thood." Gao Huan defended.

"No…" The woman insisted, her wide eyes still on him.

"I am certain. There\'s something inherently different in you. For sure, these changes in you would be known by those people who were close to you....Like your brothers."

Guan Gao Huan\'s golden eyes flashed darkly.

"I\'ve remembered that the real Gao Huan had been hospitalized when he was a child...." Then Xiong Wuyue jolted. Her eyes turned wide. It made the dark circles around her eyes more prominent.

"That\'s it! You probably switched with him when he was hospitalized. Am I right?"

The man before her did not answer.

The woman continued playing on the dangerous knife.

"...I wonder, if your family\'s head hear it, what would he think? If he did a paternity test, will it show? Hmm?"

Silence fell inside the dimly lit room.

Two people stared at each other.

It went on for a while, until the woman smiled crazily again and drank her tea with poise.

Guan Gao Huan suddenly laughed.

His laughter seemed gentle, but there was an underlying malice.

His other hand covered half of his face while laughing.

After laughing for a good while, he calmed down.

He leaned back on his chair and observed for a while.

"So tell me, Miss Xiong Wuyue, why are you looking for me?" His tone was light. Like what he was asking was something to be happy about.

Xiong Wuyue stopped her act of drinking tea and put down the cup. She did not sense anything wrong.

"Your trade with my father."

"Hm?"

"You had a trade with my father. Get him out of prison and finish your plans. We will take the whole Xiong Empire back, and I will become the young miss. Then, you take that bitch away and let her be eaten by sharks," Xiong Wuyue said.

She even laughed at the picture of Xiong Zhi\'s body being gnawed at by sharks.

Guan Gao Huan\'s brows frowned for a second before smoothing out.

He chuckled.

The stupid woman in front of him was still in an illusion that she had not yet lost power.

"Have Miss Xiong Wuyue forgotten? You are expelled from the Xiong family. Your father is in jail, with no way of getting out for a lifetime. The deal I made with your father was long gone. And... You are still a wanted criminal right now."

Xiong Wuyue\'s laughter stopped.

Her face darkened. She did not want to hear this!

"No, no! It isn\'t done yet! I still have you, haven\'t I?" she leered.

The man stared at her without a change in expression.

"I have your deepest secret, so you have to help out. You know, I am really curious."

She leaned forward, her eyes widening further as she stared at him.

"Where did the real Guan Gao Huan go? Did you kill him? Hehe." The woman giggled. "Did you? Then you stole his identity?"

Guan Gao Huan\'s face darkened.

But then he smiled, although his eyes were frigid.

"You almost guessed it."

"Oh~? I am really smart. Then, how old were you when you switched with him? Was it when he was hospitalized? Were you really young back then?"

The man\'s face was blocked by the light.

"Keep guessing."

"You were six? Seven? You know, my mind feels amazingly clear lately, I remember so many things. I remember, the last time I saw the real Guan Gao Huan was when I was six. I can\'t forget how the real person ignored my offered friendship, you know. I especially offered to be his friend, but instead of feeling grateful, he had the gall to refuse! Unbelievable, don\'t you think? That\'s why I couldn\'t forget him, because I really hold grudges. I even told him how ugly he looked because of that scar on his brow. Who would have thought that I will be able to recognize that you are fake, because of that? I am really smart, aren\'t I? Hehe…" Xiong Wuyue giggled and marveled at how smart she was.

She was having fun while immersed in her hyperactive thoughts.

Guan Gao Huan was silent, but unconsciously, his index finger touched the end of his brow.

The scars he had put on himself many times when he was young were now all healed.

Because unlike the real person, his healing ability was better by leaps and bounds.

Guan Gao Huan stopped himself when he had realized that he was doing it again.

He put his hands down and smiled at Xiong Wuyue.

"Well, your words are very interesting. I can tell you what you want to know." His smile turned angelic.

"But first, can you tell me, have you told this to anyone else?"

The woman tilted her head like she was thinking.

"Let me think. Oh."

She giggled.

"I came here yesterday looking for you, but your people refused to let me see you. I had no choice but to say it. I kept shouting about it yesterday."

The surroundings got colder.

The gaunt woman did not seem to notice.

"So, there should be many people who heard of it? Like… your manager, your guards, and some of your staff. Hehehe." She then looked at the man whose face was still hidden in the shadows. "Don\'t tell me, you\'re going to kill all of them? What would it be then? Mass murder? Hahahaha! You should do that, they deserve it! Who told them to block my way?!" Xiong Wuyue laughed manically.

"Let me tell you, I\'m really a good girl. I won\'t tell it to anyone, as long as you help me."

"Oh?"

"Have you ever heard me tell anyone about the things my father did? Come on, we\'re all on the same boat! We should help out each other!"

"Because he\'s your father. And like what I have told you, your case is helpless."

Xiong Wuyue gritted her teeth.

She would not allow herself to have an ending that was so hopeless.
