Chapter 772

Xu Jiamu couldn't help but stare at the phone screen, as he stood still by the side of the car .

In the video, Lu Jinnian appeared stylish and calm throughout, but when he spoke about Qiao Anhao, there was clearly a hint of gentleness between his brows .

Xu Jiamu had always known that Lu Jinnian had a girl he liked .

He only knew because his brother had let it slip one time when he was drunk . He revealed just a little and then was knocked out .

He was always curious to find out just who that woman was .

But he never imagined that the woman Lu Jinnian loved was actually Qiao Anhao .

As Lu Jinnian spoke, Xu Jiamu thought back to when he had helped him order a cake for Qiao Anhao from Black Swan . The cake cost five figures . At the time, he gave Lu Jinnian his credit card, to have it returned to him without a cent spent . Xu Jiamu had especially asked him worriedly, "Bro, where did you get the money to buy the cake?"

Lu Jinnian flipped through the physics book and said flatly, "I have it . "

Xu Jiamu had actually wanted to give him the money but he didn't want it, so he dropped it, afraid to hurt his pride .

But then later, there was a long period of time where he would reject his invitations to play ball .

After a considerably long amount of time, he went to a bar, and incidentally heard from a bartender that he worked there for a few months .

At the time, he didn't think much of it, not really seeing a point to it . Now that Lu Jinnian was saying all this, he finally understood . He bought the cake with the money he earned working those nights .

Later, when he had money, he didn't confess because he knew that Qiao Anhao was engaged .

He remembered . . . there was a time, at a party, where he casually asked if he really had an engagement with the Qiao family .

He said yes .

He even asked, Da Qiao or Xiao Qiao?

He said Xiao Qiao .

Because of his single reply, did he give up on the girl he had had a crush on for so many years?

Because he was his little brother . . . was he trying to say that he absolutely wouldn't touch his brother's fiance?

The rims of Xu Jiamu's eyes became a little red .

Time goes by . . . In the blink of an eye, so many years had passed . He thought he knew some things, but now, he realized that he’d known nothing .

That icy arrogant older brother who always treated him as his closest relative had forced himself to let go of his love .

In truth . . . he just didn’t know it was like that . . . He didn't have to marry Qiao Qiao, but out of the many women he could of been engaged to, he liked her the most .

If he knew that he liked Qiao Qiao, he definitely, definitely, definitely wouldn't have said he'd choose Qiao Qiao .

He definitely, definitely, definitely would have helped him get Qiao Qiao .

Even to this very moment, whilst everyone abandoned the woman he loved, Lu Jinnian stood up to protect and guard her . He never wanted to uncover the truth that he had actually pretended to be his brother .

Xu Jiamu put his phone into his pocket, then slightly turned his head and took a deep breath . He was trying to force his tears back when he saw a car park at the entrance of the villa in front of him . Qiao Anhao got out of it with a stack of papers . She waved goodbye at the person in the car . After she waited for the car to leave, she turned to open the door and accidentally dropped the papers .
