The old lady sighed softly: "She was an extraordinary person. In that era, her thoughts and actions were very avant-garde and bold. My mother-in-law told me that Xu Jin'en was sent abroad at a young age. She is fluent in multiple languages and is a very smart and unconventional girl."
Are her family members still alive?
When it came to Xu Jin'en's family, the old lady was reluctant to talk about them.
"Miss Bai seems quite interested in Xu Jin'en?"
Bai Qianmo smiled calmly: "Among all living beings, to have a similar face is an extremely wonderful fate, which makes me curious about her background and experiences."
The old lady stared at Bai Qianmo's calm and composed gaze, remained silent for a long time, and then smiled faintly: "You and she are ultimately different. There is a firm belief between your brows and eyes, while the Xu Jin'en I met had more of a calm and undisturbed tranquility in her eyes. Little girl, just live your own life well."
The old lady's words were a warning, implying that she shouldn't dwell too much on people who have passed away.
As expected of a centenarian, he saw through her thoughts at a glance.
Ultimately, they were unable to uncover Xu Jin'en's background from the old lady. However, to their delight, Old Wei was unguarded and inadvertently revealed the origin of Jinlingtang.
If we start the investigation from Jinling Hall, we should be able to find out Xu Jin'en's background very soon.

Bai Qianmo then chatted with Grandma Wei about everyday matters. Grandma Wei asked most of the questions, and Bai Qianmo answered them obediently.
After chatting for a while, the old lady looked a little sleepy.
Bai Qianmo took the initiative to say goodbye, and the old lady did not try to persuade her to stay.
He simply said with a kind expression that she was welcome to come again next time.
Leaving the old lady's house, Bai Qianmo and Old Master Wei walked side by side.
"Mr. Wei, the reason I called you today is because I need your help with something," Bai Qianmo said, explaining her purpose.
Old Wei was not surprised at all.
"Let's talk in my study."
The two went to the study, and Bai Qianmo explained her situation.
After hearing this, Old Wei remained silent for a long time.
"You're saying you wrote 'Seven Deadly Sins' by Banshan? Qianmo, this is no joke. Banshan is a famous novelist, and Xu Ziqian is a well-known director. If you don't have solid evidence, making this a big deal will not do your company any good."
"Moreover, even if you really wrote the script, it would be easy for them to distort the truth. This matter needs careful consideration, and we must not act rashly."
Bai Qianmo nodded: "That's why, after thinking it over, I thought of asking you for help."
Old Wei picked up the teacup in front of him and slowly sipped the tea.
Tell me about it.
"Is it said that Xu Ziqian is a member of Jinlingtang?"
“That’s right, he’s already a long-time member.”
"I want to have a public showdown with Banshan through Jinlingtang."
"A duel?" Old Wei looked at the young girl in front of him and smiled noncommittally.
"You don't seem to believe that I wrote 'The Seven Deadly Sins'," Bai Qianmo said, seeing through Wei Lao's thoughts at a glance.
However, it's understandable, because her age is hard to believe.
"Qianmo, I can intervene in this matter through Jinlingtang, but have you thought about the consequences? If you lose, you will never have a place in the entertainment industry again. Besides, Banshan is a well-known writer with many famous works. He has no need to plagiarize other people's work. Believe it or not, I doubt anyone would believe what you're saying."
Bai Qianmo scoffed lightly: "That's why we need to have a fair and open duel, and Jinling Hall is the most authoritative organization for that."
"Are you really sure?"
Bai Qianmo nodded firmly.
Old Wei pondered for a moment: "Alright, I'll meet with Xu Ziqian and Banshan as soon as possible and explain the situation in detail. However, if Banshan really did plagiarize your work, I think he'll most likely refuse."
A calculating glint flashed in Bai Qianmo's eyes: "He has to agree."
