The fourth floor of the small villa is decorated in a style similar to that of a hotel.

The corridor was brightly lit. As you exit the elevator, at the door of the fifth room on the right, Shen Linyue stared intently at Jiang Yanxin, scrutinizing every single emotion on her face.

She found it strange that Jiang Yanxin had something to tell her here, judging from her expression, she was preparing to talk to her alone.

"Is there a problem?" Jiang Yanxin asked gently, her expression serious and tender, leaving no room for doubt.

But that's precisely what makes things more problematic. Their 'close' relationship only started this morning, and that's all under her own assumptions.

Now she's inexplicably coming to find her again, it's like she has "I have a problem" written all over her face.

Besides, when I saw her a few days ago, her attitude was not like this at all.

In just one minute, Shen Linyue had already imagined many possibilities in her mind.

"No problem, what does Sister Yanxin want to tell me?" The girl tilted her head slightly and asked, puzzled.

When Jiang Yanxin saw the girl's eyes change from doubt to seriousness, without a trace of suspicion, she felt a sense of relief for some reason.

She smiled slightly and said gently, "It's a very important issue."

Shen Linyue: "..." It's confirmed, Jiang Yanxin really doesn't dare to be kind.

She wondered when He Xiao would leave, and whether he could make it back in time if Jiang Yanxin tried to harm her.

"Shall we talk inside?" the girl asked hesitantly.

Jiang Yanxin's smile deepened. "Of course, you can if you don't mind."

Shen Linyue didn't want to comment on whether Jiang Yanxin was too straightforward or not. Her expression remained unchanged. After nodding in agreement, the two went inside.

"Are you comfortable here?" Jiang Yanxin asked with concern after looking around, acting like a hostess as she walked in.

Shen Linyue gently closed the door, also to prevent Jiang Yanxin from making any mistakes by not closing the door completely.

Upon hearing this, she raised her head and mumbled, "It's alright, the scenery is quite nice."

Jiang Yanxin didn't notice her little actions. She wandered around the room, stopped in front of the French windows, and looked at the opposite mountain with a deep gaze before turning her gaze back to her.

"If you like, you can stay here for a few more days." She smiled slightly.

Shen Linyue met her gaze with a puzzled look: "Does Sister Yanxin live here often? Also, I usually have to go to school, so this place might not be very convenient."

Jiang Yanxin was momentarily stunned and surprised. She patted her head and said with annoyance, "Look at my memory, I almost forgot you're still a student."

Shen Linyue looked at Jiang Yanxin with calm eyes. Her words were very ambiguous. What did she mean by forgetting that she was a student?

She started testing her again.

Upon realizing this, Shen Linyue's lips twitched slightly, wondering what Jiang Yanxin was thinking.

“Sister Yanxin hasn’t answered my first question yet,” Shen Linyue leaned against the wall by the entrance, her cold gaze quietly looking at Jiang Yanxin. “Little Jiang also comes here to play often, right? He knows this place very well.”

Jiang Yanxin met Shen Linyue's gaze, but sensed a slight pressure from his eyes. She frowned almost imperceptibly, and said calmly, "Jinyu is Axing's godfather. Where Axing goes is his own business, and I won't interfere."

"As for me..." Her eyes suddenly filled with a smile: "A-Yue seems quite interested in my affairs?"

Faced with Jiang Yanxin's meaningful glance, Shen Linyue showed no stage fright, but instead smiled with great interest.

"Oh, I see. So Sister Yanxin seems to be a very open-minded parent?"

Jiang Yan frowned slightly and stared at Shen Linyue for a long time before suddenly realizing that she seemed to have been led by the nose by Shen Linyue ever since she came in.

She was the one who wanted to get information out of Lin Yue.

Jiang Yanxin felt a throbbing pain in her temples again. She had indeed underestimated Lin Yue... no, perhaps Shen Linyue.

“Yes, I’ve always been very open-minded.” Jiang Yanxin smiled and looked straight at her, her eyes suddenly reddening.

The speed at which he can change his expression is truly exceptional.

"A-Yue called me before her accident." She choked up, seemingly recalling this past event.

Upon hearing this, Shen Linyue's expression hardened, then became somewhat strange.

What call?

Jiang Yanxin looked at her deeply, then suddenly choked up: "You didn't know?"

Shen Linyue: "?" Crazy sister, if I knew, would I still be listening to your rambling?

"Should I know?" she replied with a smile.

Jiang Yanxin glanced at her again before looking away, her eyes deep and thoughtful: "Yes, you don't know. Back then, A-Yue was in a hurry to come to me, but less than half an hour later she received a phone call and had to leave in a hurry. Little did she know that it would be the last time we ever met."

She choked up even more: "If I had known sooner, I would have stopped her."

Shen Linyue remained silent; she truly didn't know the ins and outs of this matter.

However, seeing Jiang Yanxin's excessive grief, she might have been moved if she didn't know the inside story.

Looking at her now, I can only sense that she had ill intentions.

"Is that so? Will Sister Yanxin really stop my sister?" She glanced at her and asked ambiguously.

Jiang Yan's heart skipped a beat, and she looked up uncertainly at him: "What did you say?"

"Ah Yue was my best friend. Do you think I killed her?" She stared wide-eyed in disbelief.

Shen Linyue shrugged innocently: "This matter has been going on for so many years without any resolution. Everyone involved is suspicious. I was just saying it casually. Why is Sister Yanxin in such a hurry to defend herself?"

Jiang Yanxin: "..." If she didn't have a question she wanted to figure out, she probably would have flipped the table right now.

"Hehe." She forced a smile and shifted her gaze: "It seems you don't know a lot of things. Didn't you come back to China for your sister? He Liyu didn't even tell you these things? It seems he doesn't completely trust you."

Shen Linyue frowned, glanced at Jiang Yanxin and said indifferently, "Oh, now Sister Yanxin is telling me the same thing."

Jiang Yanxin's lips twitched slightly: "It seems you don't have deep feelings for your sister either."

"Sister Yanxin's joke isn't funny at all. My sister and I are about twenty years apart, and we've never even lived together. I only learned about her story by chance from my mother. I can't say I have deep feelings for her; I'm mostly just curious," Shen Linyue said, her eyes filled with complex emotions.

Her answer was perfect; even Jiang Yanxin couldn't find any fault with it. The girl in front of her seemed to be just a curious little girl looking forward to seeing her older sister.

“It seems I was overthinking it,” Jiang Yanxin said inexplicably, her eyes lightening slightly. “I’m sorry, I wasn’t careful with my words. If A-Yue could see you, she would definitely be very surprised. After all, who would have thought there’s a miniature version of her in this world?”

"Don't you think so?" Jiang Yan stared intently at Shen Linyue and said, "A-Yue."
