Everyone was chatting happily, except for Pei Nian, who remained silent.

The observant Jiang Mianmian noticed her disappointment and asked softly, "What happened?"

Pei Nian glanced at her, hesitated, and said, "I...I saw Nuan Nuan."

"So she really is sick, right?" Huo Junyang blurted out, "See, my information was correct, wasn't it? I heard that Qin Yu and Shao Xiaofei have been extremely anxious and worried lately!"

“She is sick, and we have seen her,” Huo Jingnan said in a low voice. “But I feel like she’s a different person, not like the Nuannuan she used to be.”

"What's the meaning?"

“She used to be happy to see Niannian, but that time… she actually said she hated Niannian.”

Everyone present was very puzzled.

Pei Nian has been even more confused about what's going on these past few days.

Jiang Mianmian held her hand and comforted her, "Children will always have their tantrums, and besides, she's not feeling well right now, so naturally she won't be in a good mood. Go and spend more time with her, and maybe she'll be the same as before!"

Pei Nian nodded.

Jiang Mianmian, however, had other ideas in mind.

The next day, Jiang Mianmian took Huo Jiayuan to the hospital for a check-up. One-year-old Yuan Yuan's physical indicators were all quite standard, making her a model for her age. She didn't cry during the blood test, and instead looked at the nurse with her big, innocent eyes, babbling as she greeted her.

The doctors and nurses at the hospital all adored this beautiful and adorable little princess.

However, on the other side of the hospital, gloom and despair hung in the air.

Both are heiresses from wealthy families, but one is full of vitality while the other is tormented by illness.

Jiang Mianmian handed Xiao Yuanyuan over to the nanny and walked towards Qin Nuan's ward.

Before going to the ward, she went to the restroom. Suddenly, someone came out of a stall. Jiang Mianmian was stunned. After a brief moment of surprise, she called softly, "Niannian?"

The woman stopped in her tracks, looked in the direction of the sound, and met Jiang Mianmian's gaze.

"Niannian, you're here too?"

Pei Shasha's heart skipped a beat.

Her mask was in her bag. Wearing a mask for too long gets tiring, so she came to the restroom to take it off and relax. Unexpectedly…

Jiang Mianmian turned off the tap and smiled at her, "Why didn't you tell me you were coming? I brought Yuan Yuan for a check-up today, and I was thinking of visiting Qin Nuan while I was at it... Oh, by the way, you're here to see Qin Nuan too? How is she doing?"

Pei Shasha remained calm on the surface and quickly composed herself.

She quickly realized that the person in front of her must be Jiang Mianmian, the older sister Pei Nian had mistaken for someone else.

No, it should be Lu Xiaoyou. I heard that she was also kidnapped, which is why she changed her name.

Pei Shasha smiled faintly, pretending to be familiar with Jiang Mianmian, and said, "Yes, I came to see Nuannuan. She's in much better spirits today."

"Don't worry too much," Jiang Mianmian said. "Kids will be kids, it's normal for them to throw tantrums. But why didn't you tell me you were coming today? I called you this morning and you said you weren't coming!"

"Oh..." Pei Shasha continued her lie, "I was planning to take care of some business this morning, so I didn't agree to go with you. By the way, are you going to see Nuannuan?"

Jiang Mianmian was about to agree when the nanny called. She said that Xiao Yuanyuan had been crying because she couldn't see her mother, and they couldn't soothe her no matter what they did.

Jiang Mianmian smiled helplessly and shrugged: "Looks like I can't go... But it's okay, I came here today to see how Nuannuan is doing. As long as she's in good condition, that's OK."

"Okay, then you should go and take care of the child!"

Jiang Mianmian said goodbye to her without the slightest suspicion.

Pei Shasha watched her retreating figure and sneered. She turned around, and the face in the mirror was exactly the same as Pei Nian's.

Her figure, height, and even voice were no different from Pei Nian's.

Her hand touched the mirror, tracing the contours of her face. The mirror's cool touch traveled to her fingertips, and the bright yellow light overhead reflected her enigmatic smile.

"From now on, everything you're mine!" Pei Shasha laughed. "So... just slowly disappear from this world!"
