Peril（5）

After Qiao Anxia confirmed the change, the phone rang another few times—all the texts were from Lu Jinnian. When she saw the name "Brother-in-law" pop up several times, she felt a strange sense of comfort. 

The first text was a photo. It was a sky blue dress that was hanging in a closet, and below it were a pair of heels from the same collection. 

Qiao Anxia stilled slightly before scanning the next message. 

[ I am Lu Jinnian, even though you never agreed to attend my and Qiao Qiao's wedding, and even though she knew that you didn't want to be part of it, she still specifically ordered a gown for you. Qiao Qiao is not aware of the incident with the voice recorder and rest assured, she will never know about it.] 

Even though the text was short, Lu Jinnian's straight forward nature could clearly be felt. 

She slouched back and stared at the photo intently.
