Chapter 361: Chapter 361: What is Real and What is Fake

"Shocking! A scandal surfaces for the leader of a certain corporation! What does it mean for siblings to admire each other romantically?"

The headline was striking, carrying an unmistakable tone of gossip.

Scrolling further down, an enlarged photo came into view.

In the photo, a man and woman were embracing each other, the woman slightly tiptoeing to kiss the man’s thin red lips.

Lin Qian snatched Chen Fei’s phone and fixated her gaze on the news, her face growing pale.

What was going on?

The man and woman in the photo were none other than the Yin siblings, Yin Moran and Qinglan.

They were embracing... and kissing!?

Lin Qian swallowed hard, her slender fingers continuing to scroll down to reveal an audio clip waiting to be played.

Lin Qian’s fingers trembled as she unconsciously tapped on it, and the voices of a man and a woman came through.

"Brother, I really like you."

"Mm, I like you too."

Lin Qian: "..."

If it were just a photo, maybe it wouldn’t confirm anything.

But this audio clip...

The woman’s voice was soft, imbued with gentle affection.

The man’s voice was rich and magnetic, tinged with indulgence.

Lin Qian pressed her lips tightly and listened to it again.

Did she mishear?

Surely this couldn’t be the voices of the Yin siblings!

However...

Lin Qian didn’t want to deceive herself any longer.

She listened closely—it was undeniably their voices!

What on earth was happening?

Were the siblings romantically interested in each other?

Could this really be true?

Lin Qian stared blankly at the phone, her thoughts in utter chaos.

She only knew that Qinglan was the adopted daughter of the Yin Family, taken in by Mrs. Yin from an orphanage after losing her own daughter in tragedy.

Qinglan liked Yin Moran?

And Yin Moran liked her back!

But even though Qinglan was adopted, they were still siblings in name!

If this news were true, did it mean their love for each other had been buried deep, hidden from the eyes of others because of the weight of societal expectations?

Lin Qian thought she must have been such a fool.

What did Yin Moran take her for?

One moment, he spoke to her about consulting Old Madam Yin for choosing a lucky day to marry her, and the next moment, he was entangled intimately with his own sister?

Was he this much of a scoundrel?

She seriously questioned if she’d been blind—how could she have been captivated by such a man?

With the Qiao sisters already by his side, was that not enough for him? Did he have to charm his own sister as well? How skilled was he at making women fall for him!

Lin Qian bit her lip as her expression flickered between emotions.

"Manager Lin, calm down; these reports might just be another attempt by the media to grab attention. Mr. Yin... surely can’t be that kind of person!"

Noticing how bad Lin Qian’s face looked, Chen Fei patted her hand gently to comfort her.

Lin Qian snapped back to her senses, returned the phone to Chen Fei, and brushed her hair aside, her pallor softening slightly.

"Mm, until the truth of the matter is revealed, I won’t believe what’s written in the news."

As Chen Fei suggested, some reporters would often exaggerate just to catch the public’s eye.

The truth behind the events—only those involved would know.

Yet what really happened here?

The photos and audio clip were undeniably clear. It was hard not to believe them!

Lin Qian pressed her lips together and, thinking of something, took out her phone to call Yin Moran.

She had to ask him directly what was going on!

Was there some misunderstanding?

"Sorry, the number you have dialed is currently unavailable."

The phone was off?

Lin Qian stared blankly at the cold voice coming from the receiver, her brows furrowing.

The turmoil in her chest only intensified, as if a cat’s claws were incessantly scratching at her heart.

Where was Yin Moran now?

Lin Qian stayed dazed in her office for who knew how long, until her phone rang suddenly.

Startled, she looked at the screen and saw it was a call from Nangong Li.

She picked up, and Nangong Li’s voice, no longer as cheerful as before, came through.

"Sister-in-law, I’m in your mall’s underground parking lot. Old Yin asked me to pick you up after work."

Hearing this, Lin Qian immediately got up, didn’t say much, and hurried to change out of her workwear.

Her mind was overwhelmed with questions; she couldn’t wait to find Yin Moran.

Arriving at the underground parking lot, she saw headlights blink twice from a car, and Nangong Li’s head poked out of the window.

"Sister-in-law, over here."

Nangong Li called out, and Lin Qian managed a faint smile and quickly walked toward his car.

Opening the passenger-side door, she got in, buckled her seatbelt, and fell silent.

Nangong Li started the car, his expression not as carefree as usual but surprisingly somber.

The car eased forward, and Nangong Li steadied his emotions. "Sister-in-law, I’m taking you to the Yin Family estate. Han Chen will pick up Candy and Ziyang from the kindergarten later."

Lin Qian nodded absently, preoccupied.

Her mind was still wrapped around the news, wanting to ask but unsure how to begin.

She recalled that Nangong Li had feelings for Qinglan.

But now...

Just as Lin Qian hesitated, Nangong Li spoke up.

"Sister-in-law, you’ve seen the news, haven’t you?"

Lin Qian snapped to attention and looked at the man behind the wheel, nodding. "I’ve seen it."

Yin Moran sending Nangong Li to take her to the estate surely meant he knew the truth, right?

So what was the truth?

Lin Qian couldn’t hold back and asked, "Mr. Li, the content in the news is fake, isn’t it?"

"The news... has truths and lies within it."

Nangong Li’s handsome face rivaling Yin Moran’s was now taut, his grip on the steering wheel tightening.

"What’s true and what’s false?"

Lin Qian looked at Nangong Li, desperate for answers.

Nangong Li’s jaw clenched, and his foot pressed harder on the accelerator, the car bolting forward like an arrow.

"Qinglan liking Old Yin is true. The rest is false."

Qinglan really liked her own brother!

Lin Qian was stunned!

She stared at Nangong Li, knowing he had more to say.

After calming his emotions, Nangong Li spoke again, "Qinglan is the Yin Family’s adopted daughter, raised in the Yin household and grew up alongside Old Yin. You know, a man as exceptional as Old Yin rarely fails to attract women’s admiration. Especially with them living together day in and day out, it’s natural that feelings could develop."

"But Qinglan isn’t the type to be reckless. She and Old Yin are siblings in name, with their names registered under the same household. No matter how much she admires him, there’s absolutely no possibility for them. So when she realized her feelings, four years ago she decisively chose to study abroad, determined to seal her emotions within her heart before returning just a few months ago."
