My Online Girlfriend Has a Twin Sister - Chapter 312 - 209: Chen Yuan Starts Investigating the Truth, the Two Sisters’ Crisis

In the quiet office, time seemed to stand still.

Chen Yuan was frozen like a statue, dazed. He had been holding this position for over an hour without so much as moving his legs.

He had been like this ever since seeing Professor Fu off.

As for how he had managed to see the professor out, Chen Yuan couldn’t recall the specific details. He only knew that he felt dazed, as if the fatigue from staying up all night yesterday had finally caught up to him.

After seeing Professor Fu off and returning, he felt like he was floating as he walked the few dozen steps down the corridor.

It was as if every step landed on cotton.

’In summary, this is a prank…’

’Acceptance only exists in the early blank period, the first stage that gives rise to the host… before forming its own unique and stable social system.’

’From a medical perspective, this doesn’t exist.’

…

Those words that had left him stunned, the unequivocal tone, the detailed and thorough professional explanation.

Chen Yuan wanted to doubt him, but he couldn’t even find a reason to lie to himself and refute the claims. They were practically strangers; Professor Fu had no motive to deceive him.

But what Chen Yuan found even more impossible to believe was this: Jiangg was really tricking him with a prank.

This whole multiple personality thing was, from start to finish, just an absurd joke—a crude lie you’d use to fool a naive child.

It couldn’t stand up to the slightest bit of professional scrutiny.

Chen Yuan didn’t believe it. Or rather, he didn’t dare to believe such a thing.

He didn’t even dare to entertain the possibility.

Jiangg was so wonderful. From their online romance to now, they were so in love, so inseparable, they had barely even argued. Whether it was their worldviews, life goals, personalities, values, ideals, or even their very character.

Chen Yuan felt it was impossible to find anyone else so similar.

Even if there were thousands upon thousands of wonderful women in the world, a connection like this—a match made in heaven…

…was something others could only dream of their entire lives and never find.

Ningning was so considerate and polite.

Yaoyao was so lively and cute.

Just being with her made you believe that all good things would eventually come to pass. It made you look forward to a future with her. This period of their relationship was the most breathtaking time in his relatively inexperienced life.

Their coincidental meeting, the wondrous rendezvous after traveling a thousand miles, the drama of ending up in the same city.

From the first time he saw her in the lecture hall to the joy of holding her in his arms.

「In the blink of an eye.」

Summer, fall, winter. The two of them had almost made it through a full four seasons.

’How could Jiangg possibly lie to me?’

’She’s so wonderful, so kind. How could she have the heart to drag me into such a trashy charade, making me trust her, worry about her, even lose my appetite over it?’

’Is that something a person with a conscience would do?’

’Why did she have to lie to the person who trusted her most, liked her most, the one who lay in bed every day fantasizing about them spending the rest of their lives together?’

’Is this… fun?’

Chen Yuan scratched his hair in agony, his face contorting. He felt a fire in his heart trying to burst from his chest, but it had no escape, scorching his insides until he felt shriveled up.

His full and vibrant heart was withering to the point where not a single drop of blood could be squeezed from it.

’A lack of attention?’

’How is that possible?’

Jiangg was constantly the center of attention. At school, she was a professor in the limelight, highly respected. On the street, she was a stunning beauty who drew envious gazes, with passersby unable to tear their eyes away. She had a good family background and a dazzling education.

’How could she possibly lack attention?’

Even someone like Chen Yuan, who wasn’t lovesick in the slightest, would normally give her more of his focus, hoping that greater mutual understanding would foster a good relationship and prepare them to face the unknown future together.

’Why would she lie?’

Chen Yuan hated being lied to more than anything, especially after giving someone his absolute trust.

He felt betrayed. It was like he had cut out his own heart and handed it over, only for her to turn around and toss it to the dogs.

His devotion had become worthless. His sincerity was now as cheap as dirt!

In the past hour, he had gone from despair to anger, so frustrated that he wanted to flip over and smash everything in front of him just to release the pent-up rage.

But Chen Yuan wasn’t that irrational. Clenching his fists tightly and taking countless deep breaths, he managed to calm down slightly.

He pulled his phone from his pocket, immediately wanting to call her and ask.

’Is Professor Fu right or not?’

’If Jiangg really did lie to me, what was her reason?’

’Why would she disregard someone’s trust? Were all those sincere words he’d spoken to her, every last one of them, just like an empty can on the ground? Something anyone could come along and kick away, not worth a second thought?’

Chen Yuan’s hand trembled as he opened the call screen, veins popping on his fingers.

Two seconds after he pressed the call button, he instantly hung up.

He SLAMMED the phone onto the desk.

’No… I absolutely can’t just ask her like this!’

A sliver of reason returned to Chen Yuan’s mind. If he rashly asked her now, what if she denied it? He had no proof, only Professor Fu’s verbal assessment.

Besides, if it wasn’t a lie, his sudden suspicion would definitely lead to an even bigger fight.

That wasn’t something a mature man should do.

’Maybe Jiangg isn’t lying to me. Maybe there’s something else hidden behind all this!’

At this thought, Chen Yuan suddenly calmed down.

Thinking it over carefully, many things had seemed confusing since they started dating—from Jiangg’s family and her personality changes, to his unruly and flippant mother-in-law, Jiangg Ruxue. He’d also never heard Jiangg explain in detail why she had so suddenly wanted to get back together after their breakup. She had just kept saying she regretted it and brought up the issue of their teacher-student relationship.

Perhaps he had never really tried to understand Jiangg.

’Her family, her hardships, the lie hidden behind it all… what is the real story?’

He had originally just thought they should take things slow, rely on the power of time, and not be too hasty. He believed they would eventually come to understand each other naturally…

’The medical records…’

’Right!’

Chen Yuan shot up from his chair. That was the one piece of definitive proof that could tell him if Jiangg was lying!

If he could find the medical records, he could find the attending physician who made the diagnosis.

It was also possible that Jiangg wasn’t lying to him but had been misled by that doctor!

Chen Yuan’s eyes lit up. It was as if he had suddenly walked out of a dense fog and seen the only way out.

He grabbed his jacket from where it was hanging, hastily pushed open the door, left the office, went downstairs, and drove all the way to Fengting District, finally stopping in front of a hardware store.

“Boss, you got any hammers?”

“Yeah,” the owner, busy cutting a PVC pipe, looked up. “You want a big one or a small one?”

“Give me the kind you’d normally use to hammer nails at home!”

“Eight yuan.”

“Sent the payment.” Chen Yuan weighed the hammer in his hand and narrowed his eyes.
