Xinran took the envelope from Augus's hand and poured out its contents, which were a stack of photographs. She picked up the photos and examined them one by one. The location of the photos seemed to be Japan, as the famous Tokyo Tower occasionally appeared in the background. However, it was merely a backdrop; the main focus of the photos was the couple in them. Unfortunately, she only recognized the man in the photos. If she had recognized them all, perhaps the feeling of betrayal would have been stronger...
"Is that all?" Xinran calmly set down the photos and asked Augus calmly.
"It seems this set of photos really isn't explosive enough. When I got these from the private investigator, I figured you wouldn't care too much... But since I've already spent the money, I might as well show them to you!" Augus chuckled lightly as he put the photos back into the envelope.
"You had someone investigate him secretly? Augus, that's not like you!"
"Are you saying this method is sneaky and despicable? It doesn't matter to me; I care about results, not the process! At least through the private investigator, I know more than you, his legitimate girlfriend, don't I?" Augus reached out and placed his hand over Xinran's hand, sighing softly. "Xinran, even if you don't want to hear it, I have to say it: he is not as simple as you imagine. The woman in the photo is his fiancée; he has been engaged in Japan for a long time. Are you still going to step into this quagmire?"
"His fiancée? Did your private investigator find out if they love each other? Are they about to get married soon? At least in the photos, I only see them walking side by side and him politely seeing her off to her car. Even a kiss on the cheek is just international etiquette. With just these few photos, how can you expect me to believe that Zhongsi is deceiving me?" Xinran asked calmly, but her hands under the table clenched together involuntarily. She kept warning herself to trust Zhongsi and believe in herself, not to let Augus's words break down her defenses. Perhaps these photos were also fabricated; after all, she hadn't verified anything and shouldn't easily condemn Zhongsi!
"Well then, since you can convince yourself that you have full confidence in him, why should I say more? If I continue to make small moves, it will only make you think I'm deliberately trying to ruin your relationship! Fine, take care of yourself; just pretend you've never seen these photos. Or maybe you could call him and ask for the truth. Then you'll know whether this private investigator is a fraud. If he is a fraud, I'll definitely demand compensation from him since he charged quite a bit for his services!" Augus smirked and teased her. He had already shown her the photos; it was impressive that Xinran could remain so composed. He had to admit she was quite extraordinary; if it were another woman, she might have immediately burst into tears or torn up the photos before storming off for justice—she certainly wouldn't be as calm as Xinran.
In that case, he thought, when she learns that her brother's feelings for her are merely a scheme to deal with him as a brother, perhaps she will remain just as composed. The hurt she suffers might be less than that of an average woman, and her recovery might be quicker. So why should he worry?
"It seems I should thank you for your strategic advice..." She took a deep breath and elegantly sipped her slightly cool coffee.
"Forget it; don't blame me—I should be thanking heaven!"
"Sir, ma'am, your order has arrived!" At that moment, a waiter brought out their meals.
"Let's eat. Just treat what happened earlier as a minor interruption. Tonight is our date, and you still need to fulfill your duty to spend it with me!" Augus glanced at Xinran and asked.
"Okay, but I still need to clarify our relationship as a couple..."
"Stop. I promise you, I will go back and discuss a foolproof breakup plan with Hiya that won't hurt either of us. Does that make you feel better?"
"Then I thank you for your concern, Mr. Augus!" With that, Xinran picked up her knife and fork and began to eat.
