"Madam, please come in. I've cleaned this necklace inside and out!"

This was the first sound Xi Xi heard after connecting the necklace.

The voice sounded familiar; it sounded a lot like Aunt Luo Qian.

Xi Xi rarely heard her aunt speak in such a flattering tone, which showed that the other party was no ordinary person.

Suddenly, a mirror appeared in their field of vision, reflecting the image of a strange woman.

The woman in the mirror, while not strikingly beautiful at first glance, possessed an indescribable alluring charm. Her long hair cascaded down to her waist, and paired with the wet bangs typical of Japanese girls, she exuded a unique island-style allure.

With a slightly upturned corner of her mouth and a playful smile, the woman took out a bottle of perfume and sprayed a few puffs behind her ears.

The more Xi Xi looked at the woman, the more familiar she seemed, but no matter how hard she racked her brains, she couldn't remember where she had seen this face before, until the woman lifted her bangs to touch up her makeup and draw her eyebrows.

In an instant, as if struck by a sudden enlightenment, Xi Xi abruptly stood up from the soft chair.

If you removed the bangs and changed the hairstyle to a middle part, changed the flat eyebrows to sword eyebrows, and changed the eyeliner to winged eyeliner instead of eye bags—this face is clearly the "Sister Ming" Rui Xiaomin from the previous life!

Damn, Rui Xiaomin is still alive even without Wei Chenghao... Xi Xi couldn't help but look at this unkillable cockroach with new respect.

Not only that, Rui Xiaomin is also someone who knows how to cater to people's tastes. Her makeup and appearance are completely different from her previous life, obviously done to cater to a certain aesthetic preference.

Chu Zhiqin went to change Xi Zhongcang's treatment bandages, leaving only Xi Xi and Cheng Xu in the living room.

Xi Xi immediately informed Cheng Xu of the bombshell news.

Cheng Xu was stunned for a moment, then flew into a rage: "Damn it, all I did was refuse her and Wei Chenghao's auction qualification, are you still holding a grudge?"

This timeline is way too far back...

"Not necessarily. The Yamato Guard wouldn't listen to a mistress." Xi Xi stated Rui Xiaomin's identity with certainty, then pondered, "We just happened to run into the line of fire."

After all, her uncle's family was also involved in stirring up trouble, and Xi Xi really felt that no matter how you looked at it, the guard team seemed to be targeting her.

The synesthetic ring continued to heat up, and in Xi Xi's view, Rui Xiaomin got out of the car and walked straight ahead.

She stopped in front of a motorhome not far away. The motorhome had an extremely high chassis, no less impressive than Xi Xi's, and had clearly undergone multiple upgrades and modifications, showcasing its extraordinary status and position.

Rui Xiaomin struck a pose in front of the RV door, then gently knocked a few times. The door slowly opened, and a young maid appeared before her.

She was dressed in a typical maid uniform, had a pretty face, and bowed respectfully to Rui Xiaomin.

Rui Xiaomin glanced at the maid with disdain, then took off her mink coat and threw it to her.

She straightened her collar and hair, making sure her carefully styled hair and the lingering faint scent of perfume were just right, then swayed her hips and walked gracefully into the inner room.

The interior of the RV is quite unique, with Japanese tatami mats on the floor and a low table and four cushions in the center.

Upon closer inspection, several exquisite tea sets and two bowls of unfinished hot tea were neatly arranged on the table.

Someone was just here? Xi Xi wondered thoughtfully.

Rui Xiaomin did not linger in the reception room. When she reached a mahogany door, she turned around and looked at the little maid with her head down not far away with a hint of provocation, and then gently pushed it open.

A magnificent and spacious bedroom instantly comes into view, with golden curtains hanging low, blocking out the lights from outside and leaving only a soft and luxurious atmosphere inside the room.

Before Xi Xi could even process what was happening, she saw a fat, pig-like man sitting on the sofa. His face was full of fleshy muscles, and his squinty eyes exuded an indescribable lewdness. There was a conspicuous mole next to his right temple.

The man held a glass of red wine, gently swirling it; its dark red color shimmered alluringly under the light.

"You've arrived?" the pig-man said, speaking in Japanese, seemingly relaxed yet carrying an undeniable air of authority.

Rui Xiaomin chuckled and gracefully walked to the pig-man's side, giving him an elegant bow: "Chief of Staff, oh no, I should now address you as His Majesty the Emperor~"

The pig-man snorted, accepting her flattery: "What, you didn't come here just to visit my RV, did you?" He spoke Chinese for the first time, though with a thick colonel's accent.

A dark glint flashed in Rui Xiaomin's eyes, then she smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you're joking again. Of course, Min'er misses you... You haven't come to see me lately, which has made me so sad~ I've seen Mr. Miyano more often than you these days, is that fair!?"

The woman used a high-pitched voice, feigning a coquettish complaint.

Xi Xi almost threw up. Sister, your voice wasn't like this when you were talking to Luo Qian and Xi Zhantao, was it?

The pig-man seemed to be quite receptive to this. He narrowed his eyes, and after a moment, slowly said, "Sit down."

Hearing the man offer her a seat, Rui Xiaomin happily lifted her skirt and sat in his lap.

“We’re at a critical juncture right now, it’s not something to joke around with. As for Miyano…” He paused deliberately, observing the woman’s reaction.

A hint of displeasure flashed in Rui Xiaomin's eyes, but she quickly concealed it and continued with a smile, "Your Majesty, please stop keeping me in suspense. I'm really curious. What exactly are you researching lately? Can you give me a sneak peek?"
