"I'll go with you." It would be good for them to have a chat.

Seeing that she was in low spirits, Xu Xinning asked, "Are you still upset about what happened yesterday?"

“Mingzhou found out about those things and threw a tantrum when he came back.” She recalled Gu Mingzhou’s last words on the kang (a heated brick bed) and couldn’t help but ask Xu Xinning, “Dr. Xu, do you think there’s really that much difference between me and Lin Qingyan?”

"Hmm?" Xu Xinning was somewhat surprised. It seemed that Lin Sisi and Lin Qingyan didn't get along. Lin Sisi wasn't studying medicine. Were she and Lin Qingyan rivals in love? "Sisi, why do you ask that? Why compare yourself to her?"

Lin Si thought for a moment. She was defeated by Lin Qingyan in love, and it was better not to let Xu Xinning know about such a shameful thing.

"It's nothing. Mingzhou and Lu Zhengting are both battalion commanders in this family compound, and Lin Qingyan and I are their lovers. I'm afraid people will compare me to Lin Qingyan."

Xu Xinning said, "I think you're great, unlike some people who like to put on an act and make others think how good they are. Sisi, don't care what others say. After all, some people like to wear masks, and we shouldn't compare ourselves to them."

Lin Sisi felt much better after hearing her words.

Finally, someone said something bad about Lin Qingyan, and she immediately felt like she had found a kindred spirit.

"Dr. Xu, you have a good eye and you can see people clearly. Some people seem good on the surface, but who knows what they are really like in private."

"yes."

Xu Xinning was glad that Lin Sisi disliked Lin Qingyan just like her. However, compared to discussing Lin Qingyan, she had important things to ask Lin Sisi and didn't have time to keep talking about Lin Qingyan.

"Sisi, let's not talk about her anymore. I remember you said this morning that you and I could be considered fellow townsmen, which is great. You said your dad works in Beijing, what about your mom? If you tell me their names, I might know them too."

"Oh, my dad's name is Yang Yuanting, and he's incredibly capable."

"Yang Yuanting?" Xu Xinning seemed to have heard of this name before. "He should also be researching medicine, but I don't know exactly what he does. Anyway, he's quite capable."

"And what about your mother?"

“My mom doesn’t work now, my dad supports her.”

"Oh, you're right."

It turns out that Lin Sisi's mother is still alive, and she's even in Beijing.

To find Yang Yuanting, you can find Lin Sisi's mother. They have a photo of Dong Lianxin. By comparing the photo with Lin Sisi's mother's, you can tell whether that woman is Dong Lianxin or not.

At the same time, she felt a sense of crisis. If that woman really was Dong Lianxin, and Dong Lianxin lived in Beijing, she might run into someone from the Dong family someday. She had to get her mother to confirm it as soon as possible.

Her gaze fell on Lin Sisi's collar again. If Dong Lianxin were still alive, it would be pointless for her to take the jade pendant. Dong Lianxin could still recognize the Dong family just by her face. Taking the jade pendant would only arouse Lin Sisi's suspicion and alert her.

"Dr. Xu, your parents must be very capable people," Lin Sisi asked her.

Xu Xinning thought of her parents. Her father was somewhat disappointing, while her mother had a very respectable job in Beijing thanks to the support of the Dong family.

However, what she is most proud of is her maternal grandfather, her uncles, and her brothers. Her grandfather was once an important leader in the army, and although he has now retired, his influence remains.

Her uncle is a government official, her eldest brother is an air force regiment commander, her second brother is a weapons researcher, and her third brother is a little less senior, currently a company commander. However, he is young and will have a bright future.

But she absolutely could not say any of this in front of Lin Sisi.

If Lin Sisi knew how good her maternal grandparents' family was, she would definitely try her best to recognize them.

"My family isn't actually that well off. Never mind, I won't go into the details of my family's situation."

Hearing Xu Xinning say that, Lin Sisi assumed that Xu Xinning's family situation must be very difficult, and she immediately felt a great sense of superiority.

After dinner, Xu Xinning returned to the hospital and called Dong Wenhua.

This time, Dong Wenhua answered directly, "Xinning, is there any news? There's no one else at home, so just tell me."

"Mom, I found out that Lin Sisi's parents are both in Beijing. Her father's name is Yang Yuanting. I feel like that name sounds familiar. He seems to be in the medical field as well. As for Lin Sisi's mother, she doesn't have a job. If you find Yang Yuanting and investigate his wife, you'll know if that woman is Dong Lianxin."
