Xu Xinning firmly believes that a person's sudden reactions and subtle facial expressions do not lie. If these are genuine reactions, then it can only be said that Xu Xinning has truly mistaken someone for someone else.
Are there really people in the world whose habits and voices are so similar?
Before the man could react, Xu Xinning made a very bold move: she wanted to see if he was wearing a human skin mask.
"Ah! What is she doing?" someone in the crowd exclaimed.
"It's insane, it's insane!"
Xu Xinning's actions startled Mu Jingshu, who exclaimed, "Second Sister-in-law!"
The woman seemed quite frightened; her face turned deathly pale.
"How can you say that? My second aunt isn't in good health. What if she gets scared and something bad happens to her?"
"That's right. My second aunt has a hidden illness; she can't even be exposed to the wind normally. She's finally gotten a little better. What if she gets seriously injured from being frightened? Would you be responsible?"
"No wonder she's the girlfriend of a rich kid, she's really good at intimidating people. I heard that woman's disease is contagious, isn't she afraid of getting infected?"
"You don't know yet? I heard that this rich kid's girlfriend knows medicine."
Xu Xinning was completely unaffected by the discussions. She carefully examined the face, but she was destined to be disappointed; the person wasn't wearing a human skin mask or anything like that.
Fearing that Xu Xinning would be beaten by the Wu family, Mu Jingshu cleverly pulled Xu Xinning away, bowing and apologizing as he did so.
Xu Xinning was still caught in her own doubts. She still believed in her own judgment, wondering if face-swapping technology already existed in the world.
Since she lives in this compound, Xu Xinning feels she still has a chance to uncover the mystery.
Xu Xinning didn't sleep well at all that night. She had a bizarre dream all night long. Many familiar people appeared in her dream. They smiled at her, cried at her, and were kind to her, as if they were all expressing their longing for her. But in the blink of an eye, they all changed their expressions, bared their fangs at her, and their faces became hideous.
Xu Xinning was startled awake, and after waking up, she couldn't fall back asleep.
She knew Wang Ying very well. Wang Ying had many habits that she herself was unaware of. She liked to stick out her little finger, she always liked to squint when she was unhappy, and she would unconsciously raise and lower her eyebrows when she saw someone she didn't like.
But she had lived with the Wu family for so many years, the Wu family should know her very well, and besides, she had checked her face and she was indeed not wearing a human skin mask.
The Wu family said she has a hidden illness. From her initial observation, she seems to have a lung problem. To understand her better, it would be best to take her pulse.
Xu Xinning couldn't understand why this person would appear here if she really was Wang Ying.
Does she not even want Chen Jianguo anymore?
Perhaps he has amnesia?
No, no, the timing doesn't match up.
The Wu family couldn't possibly mistake a perfectly normal person. Besides, the two elders of the Wu family were both underground workers in the past, so they are extremely sensitive.
Xu Xinning suddenly began to doubt herself again.
If Mu Jingheng were here, he could help her analyze the situation properly.
Perhaps it was because she was obsessed with Wang Ying and felt guilty towards her that she had hallucinations?
The next day, when Xu Xinning came downstairs, Grandpa Mu was sitting on the sofa waiting for her.
Grandpa Mu already knows what happened last night. Not only Aunt Tong, but also Fu Zhihong were present at the scene.
Old Master Mu has always been quite concerned about the Wu family's affairs. After all, the Wu family's situation is special, and the old leaders in the compound will take care of them as much as they can.
Although the Wu family has the advantage in terms of population, apart from the second son, none of the others are capable of taking on important responsibilities. However, the second son happens to have no children, and the eldest son's family has been keeping an eye on him for quite some time.
The second son's wife wasn't involved in the matter either. It was said that there were strange things about her marrying the second son in the first place. The couple's relationship was always bad, and they would quarrel whenever they met. The woman was also in poor health. In addition, the Wu family elders favored the eldest son's family, so the Wu family was already a mess.
When he saw Xu Xinning come downstairs, Grandpa Mu called her back.
"I heard that you and Jingshu went to the Wu family to watch the commotion last night?" Master Mu asked.
Xu Xinning nodded.
"Did you notice something was wrong?" Old Master Mu believed that Xu Xinning was not the kind of person who spoke without reason, and he believed that Xu Xinning must have her reasons for doing this.
"Judging from her voice and subtle movements, I thought the Wu family's daughter-in-law was an old friend of mine," Xu Xinning said truthfully without hiding anything.
"Is that so?" Old Master Mu asked curiously.
"Grandpa, do you think there really are people in this world with the same voice and habits?" Xu Xinning asked, frowning.
"Are you sure the voices and habits are the same, and not just similar?" Grandpa Mu asked.
“I’m sure of it. I’ve been with her since I was a child. She’s been very good to me, even better than my mother. I consider myself to know her very well.”
Can you tell me about her?
Xu Xinning then gave Wang Ying a proper introduction, even mentioning how she had suspected Wang Ying of harming Old Mrs. Chen for a period of time.
Grandpa Mu listened carefully, pondered for a while, and said, "Your aunt is from the North, and the wife of the second son of the Wu family is also from the North. Do you think they might be sisters or something?"
Xu Xinning replied without hesitation, "Impossible. My aunt has no brothers or sisters, and her parents passed away when she was fifteen or sixteen."
Grandpa Mu: "Did she say that herself?"
Xu Xinning: "Grandpa, when Aunt married Uncle Chen, Uncle Chen was still in the army. The two of them must have needed a political review before they could get married. These things should all be on file."
