A name she least wanted to face popped into her head.

——Jiang Bai!

How could it be Jiang Bai!

Jiang Muyun subconsciously refuted herself.

How could Jiang Bai possibly be related to Bai Yanran?

Wait, Jiang Bai, Bai Yanran, Bai...

Jiang Muyun was struck dumb and quickly opened the photo album to find family photos with Jiang Bai.

Zoom in and examine Jiang Bai's appearance repeatedly.

Then, to my surprise, I found that while there was nothing wrong with looking at his face from the front, from the side, Jiang Bai's appearance was about 70% similar to Bai Yanran's profile when she was young.

The reason I didn't recognize Bai Yanran's photo at first was because...

Firstly, it's due to the angle.

The initial photos mostly showed her face.

Secondly, after so many years, Bai Yanran has lived abroad for so long, her makeup is much heavier, and there are traces of cosmetic procedures, plus her age is there.

So at first, we really didn't find anything similar.

It's fair to say that if she hadn't seen Bai Yanran's old photos from when she was young, she wouldn't have been able to tell the difference even if she saw photos of Bai Yanran taken from the same angle now.

But she happened to see it.

And to make matters worse, she stumbled upon Bai Yanran and Jiang Hechuan's affair today.

And coincidentally, Jiang Bai's name also contains Bai Yanran's surname.

There are no such coincidences in the world.

A terrifying thought surfaced in Jiang Muyun's mind.

Could it be that Jiang Bai and Bai Yanran are related by blood?

Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence?

Jiang Muyun was startled when this guess came out.

The phone fell to the ground with a thud.

It took me a long time to react.

She crouched down awkwardly to pick it up, but when her hand touched the screen and the phone lit up, she was met with Jiang Bai's magnified face on the screen.

An even more terrifying guess involuntarily surfaced.

Upon closer inspection, Jiang Bai's eyebrows and mouth actually bear some resemblance to Jiang Hechuan's.

Could it be—

Jiang Bai is not only related to Bai Yanran by blood, but also to Jiang Hechuan?

This guess left Jiang Muyun completely stunned, frozen like a statue.

Until the phone slipped from my stiff fingers again and hit the ground.

Jiang Muyun suddenly realized what was happening.

She covered her eyes in a panic, trying to stop the tears from flowing when she learned the truth.

I tried to comfort myself, saying no.

She must be too sensitive and easily startled, which is why she overthinks things.

Jiang Bai grew up in the Jiang family and spent every day with them, so it's normal that he resembles a member of the Jiang family.

She has also met couples who have adopted children. The family has a very good relationship, and as the children grow up, they look more and more like their parents, just like a family.

There's also a saying that couples can resemble each other.

Jiang Bai is an orphan who grew up in an orphanage. If he really is Bai Yanran's child, how could he have been sent to an orphanage?

Even if Bai Yanran's career isn't going well, she still has the money to raise her child.

Moreover, she went abroad many years ago, so how could she possibly have any connection with Jiang Bai?

Jiang Muyun vehemently denied it, trying to convince herself that it must be a misunderstanding and that she was overthinking things.

Because she simply couldn't accept the consequences if Jiang Bai really was Jiang Hechuan and Bai Yanran's illegitimate child.

If this is true, then all these years, the sisters and Shen Mingyue have truly become the biggest joke in the world.

And Jiang Hechuan, her father, was truly no longer the same person in her eyes.

He brazenly brought home his illegitimate child with another woman and adopted him.

She brought her illegitimate child home less than a month after her biological son was abducted.

They, however, were oblivious and kept in the dark, cherishing him like a treasure, even abandoning their own blood-related younger brothers for his sake.

What a joke, this is absolutely a huge joke.

Jiang Muyun was unwilling to accept this fact.

No matter how she tried to comfort her or exonerate Jiang Bai, the doubt in her heart remained like a thorn.

Just then, the cell phone rang.

It was Jiang Xingwan's call.

"Big sister, how's it going on your end? Has Dad believed it?"

When are you planning to come back?

"Yu Xi and I are both a little worried, afraid that things might not go well for you."

Jiang Xingwan's worried voice came from the other end of the phone.

When I went there, my older sister assured them that she would communicate with them immediately if anything happened.

But the last message from the eldest sister was to tell them that they had arrived at the hotel.

After that, there was no further news.

They sent messages, but received no reply.

At first, I could comfort myself by thinking that it was because my older sister was very busy, busy persuading my father.

As time went on, Jiang Xingwan became increasingly unsure and couldn't help but call to ask what was going on.

"Big sister, why aren't you saying anything?"

"Big sister, what's wrong, big sister?"

Jiang Xingwan grew increasingly anxious as she didn't hear Jiang Muyun speak.

"I'm fine, Xingwan."

Jiang Muyun spoke haltingly, having actually been hesitating about whether or not to tell Jiang Xingwan and Jiang Yuxi about it.

After much hesitation, she finally decided not to keep it a secret.

What's meant to happen will happen; it can't be hidden.

Rather than doing that, it's better to face it sooner rather than later.

The more people discuss the matter, the more solutions there will be.

"I made a new discovery in Jiangbai. I'm in my apartment in the city center now. Why don't you and Yuxi come over here?"

"I have something very important to tell you."

"Okay, I understand, big sister."

Jiang Xingwan's heart jumped, and she really wanted to ask what was going on right now.

I forced myself to hold it in.

Since my older sister didn't mention it on the phone, it means this matter is very serious and has reached the point where it can only be clarified in person.

It's definitely not something that can be explained in a short time.

If you're in a hurry, you might as well act quickly and get there sooner.

Before hanging up the phone, Jiang Muyun hesitated for a long time, but finally couldn't help but confess.

"Xingwan, it's fine if you and Yuxi come over. Just don't disturb Mom, don't let her know."

She didn't want Shen Mingyue to know until the matter was clarified.

I don't know how to start the conversation.

I didn't want her to worry, afraid she wouldn't be able to handle the shock.

"good."

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Xingwan's doubts grew even stronger.

I have a feeling that something bad is about to happen.

She hurriedly called Jiang Yuxi, made an excuse about having trouble at work, and drove with Jiang Yuxi to Jiang Muyun's house.

"Big sister, we're here. Why do you look so pale? What happened?"

Upon entering, Jiang Xingwan was stunned by Jiang Muyun's deathly pale face.

The unease in my heart grew stronger.

Jiang Yuxi also sensed something was wrong and kept asking questions.

"Yeah, big sister, are you alright...?"

"What exactly happened? We're so worried!"
