The private room was in a great location, with floor-to-ceiling windows offering a breathtaking panoramic view of the brightly lit Taipei city.

Jiang Yanxin's seemingly dreamy eyes remained fixed on her face. After a while, she chuckled softly, "You two sisters look so alike that I can hardly tell you apart."

"Really? You seem to know my sister very well. What's your relationship with my sister?" Shen Linyue continued to feign innocence. "I really want to know about my sister. That's why I came back to China this time."

Jiang Yanxin looked at her, slightly surprised: "What? Your brother-in-law didn't tell you anything about your sister?"

Shen Linyue sighed, cupping her face in her hands and saying wistfully, "Not yet. I've been busy studying and attending classes lately. I wanted to ask him, but my brother-in-law went on a business trip."

She did want to ask, but what she wanted to ask even more was the misunderstanding between He Liyu and He Xiao.

Jiang Yanxin remained silent, trying to discern from the girl's face whether it was feigned or genuine, but the girl's eyes were too clear and curious, and she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

“I’m your sister’s best friend. We’ve always had a great relationship. We went to school together, got married together, and got pregnant together.” As she spoke, she seemed to be lost in those memories.

Shen Linyue was stunned for a few seconds before quickly regaining her senses: "Wow! You two have such a good relationship, it's really enviable."

Are they really that close? If they are, why would she be so hostile towards her best friend's son?

"Do you know where my sister went? My mother won't tell me, and my brother-in-law always looks so sad when he asks me about it, so I don't dare to ask anymore." Shen Linyue observed Jiang Yanxin's expression.

Jiang Yan was slightly intoxicated, but as an adult who had lived for decades, she only paused for a second before regaining her composure.

“Your brother-in-law is a very loyal person,” she said cryptically.

Shen Linyue nodded, her expression envious: "You're right, my brother-in-law is so devoted. He still keeps a photo of my sister on his bedside table, and he looks at it and says a few words to her every night before going to sleep."

After saying this, she covered her mouth in a panic: "I peeked at all of this, you mustn't let my brother-in-law know!"

"Aunt Jiang, can you tell me where my sister went after her divorce? I really don't understand why her husband, who loved her so much, would let her leave?" Shen Linyue sighed in bewilderment.

All of the above is nonsense; she has never even been inside He Liyu's bedroom.

But that didn't stop her from using these things to test Jiang Yanxin and see her attitude toward the matter.

Jiang Yanxin remained silent, her face hidden in the shadows, flickering in and out of sight: "Is that so? Oh, I see."

"What?" Shen Linyue almost didn't hear clearly.

What does Jiang Yanxin mean? Is this her attitude when she heard her best friend's husband reminiscing about her?

What exactly happened between them?

Did they fall out later? Surely Jiang Yanxin isn't also after Mrs. He's position?

But the original text doesn't mention He Liyu remarrying, or rather, he doesn't appear at all.

Shen Linyue sighed inwardly. These mysteries were making her feel suffocated, and they made her even more eager to know the truth.

It's the same feeling as when a TV show ends halfway through.

"It's nothing." Jiang Yanxin seemed to realize she was drunk, pinched her temple, and looked at Shen Linyue. "Do you really want to know where your sister went?"

Shen Linyue's eyes lit up, and she obediently nodded: "I want to."

Jiang Yanxin smiled, her eyes unfathomable: "Your sister... she should be dead, right?"

Shen Linyue's smile froze, and after a moment of bewilderment, she felt a chill creep up from the soles of her feet.

"You...you're lying to me, aren't you? How could my sister be dead?" Her voice trembled, and her eyes gradually reddened.

If she dies in the future, then it explains why He Xiao doesn't have a mother in his memories. Given her personality, she wouldn't abandon He Xiao.

Seeing her on the verge of tears, Jiang Yan felt inexplicably irritated. Just as she was about to say something, a noisy commotion broke out outside.

"Where did you take Lin Yue? How dare you touch the He family? Are you courting death?" It was He Xiao's voice.

Hearing the familiar voice, Shen Linyue paused for a second before quickly regaining her senses, standing up, sniffing, and saying, "Thank you, Aunt Jiang, for telling me so much. You're such a kind person. I'll be going now. Goodbye."

Jiang Yanxin, who received the "good guy" card: ...

Outside, He Xiao was still cursing and swearing. Even though he was famous for being strong at school at 185cm, he had no chance against two bodyguards who were 190cm tall and had been specially trained.

He Xiao was furious. He had only gone downstairs for a short while, and Shen Linyue had disappeared in the blink of an eye. Fortunately, Su Xiao was waiting outside, and after finding out what had happened, he rushed over.

At this moment, he suddenly felt annoyed that he was not strong enough. Lin Yue was inside the door very close to him, but he could not rush in to save her.

Fortunately, just as He Xiao was about to go all out, the tightly closed door was opened, and Shen Linyue appeared unharmed.

"He Xiao!" The girl's voice was clear and bright, but for some reason, although it sounded strong, there was a hint of grievance in it.

He Xiao quickly checked her body and said with annoyance, "Let's see if you dare to go with just anyone next time. What grievance did you suffer? I've already notified the bodyguards. When they get here, they'll wipe this place out!"

After saying that, he glared at the two black-clad bodyguards who were guarding the outside like gatekeepers.

Two bodyguards in black: ...

Shen Linyue shook her head: "I'm fine, let's go back."

As soon as she finished speaking, the door opened again, and Jiang Yanxin appeared in the doorway. She looked at He Xiao with a gentle and loving expression and said, "Ah Xiao, it's Auntie's birthday next month. I hope you can come."

He Xiao knew that the person looking for Lin Yue was Jiang Yanxin, but seeing her little face made him feel disgusted and want to vomit.

"Go to hell!" he coldly cursed, grabbed Shen Linyue's arm, and left.

"Madam, this young master of the He family is far too disrespectful to his elders," the bodyguard said worriedly.

Jiang Yan's gentleness had long since faded, leaving only indifference. She glanced at the bodyguards, said nothing, and went straight back into the house.

As soon as I entered, a large hand wrapped around my waist, and warm breath tickled my ear.

"The He family's line is about to end with this generation." The man's voice was hoarse and magnetic.

Jiang Yanxin, forcing herself to speak despite her increasingly weak limbs, asked, "Do you still think there's something wrong with Lin Yue?"

"Heh, whether there's a problem or not, shouldn't you, her best friend of over ten years, know better than me?" The man became increasingly unrestrained.

“I don’t know, she’s much smarter than Shen Linyue back then.” Jiang Yanxin bit her lip, her eyes filled with confusion.

“People learn from their mistakes after experiencing them once.” He said this out of the blue, then suddenly lost interest and released Jiang Yanxin, walking to the French windows. The lights in the night made his figure appear even taller and more noble. He turned his head slightly, revealing a pair of fox-like eyes, and said with a smile that was ambiguous, “But how could such a bizarre thing happen?”
