The next day, Beijing Airport
"Are you sure you don't need me to come with you?" Ji Yanchen handed the backpack to Shi Miao and asked with concern.
"Yes, it's better to be cautious," Shi Miao nodded.
"Okay, I'll have Fu Jin take you there?" The man patted her head.
Shi Miao declined, saying, "No need, I'll take a taxi. By the way, don't get involved in this matter for now."
Ji Yanchen gave a helpless smile: "Okay."
Inside the car, Shi Miao propped her head up and looked out the window at the scenery.
Just then, her phone rang. It was a flower icon. Shi Miao pressed the answer button.
"You found out?" Shi Miao asked casually.
"This Qin Chu is really a bit problematic. He went to M Continent seventeen years ago, but he was just traveling there and there was nothing strange about it. However, he brought Gu Wanqing back with him at the time."
Shi Miao's fingers tightened suddenly around her phone. "Anything else?"
"I also checked and found that Gu Wanqing went to M continent as an exchange student and stayed there for two years, but I found that there was no Qin Chu at all during her two years in M continent."
Shi Miao's eyes flickered slightly, and he said in a deep voice, "Understood. Continue the investigation, focusing on M Continent. Also, notify Zhong Li to come back."
"good."
Shi Miao hung up the phone, her brows furrowed. She hadn't expected that Gu Wanqing and Qin Chu would have so many mysteries surrounding them.
Suddenly remembering something, Shi Miao called Qin Xiao.
Shi Miao: "How much do you know about Qin Chu? Has there been anything strange about him over the years?"
Qin Xiao: "Ah, there is one strange thing. But I was quite young at the time and don't remember it very clearly. I heard it from the old man. It seems that he went abroad for a trip and when he came back, he said that he had been in a car accident abroad and lost his memory. Mainly, he was just a nobody in the Qin family, and the old man was too lazy to care about him, so no one paid much attention to this matter."
Upon hearing this, Shi Miao's eyes darkened; amnesia…
"Miss, we've arrived," the taxi driver in front said, stopping his car.
Shi Miao got out of the car. "Okay, I understand. I'll hang up now."
After putting her phone in her pocket, Shi Miao went into the restaurant and went to a private room on the second floor.
"Miaomiao, you're here!" Gu Wanqing saw the girl come in, stood up, walked over, took her hand, and said with a smile.
Shi Miao was somewhat surprised, not expecting Qin Chu to be there as well. She asked calmly, "Um, who is this?"
Gu Wanqing pulled Shi Miao to sit down. "This is my husband, Qin Chu. He said he wanted to meet you too, so he came along."
Qin Chu smiled and said, "Hello, Miss Shi."
Shi Miao nodded: "Hello."
After confirming that Gu Wanqing was alright, Shi Miao breathed a slight sigh of relief. However, Qin Chu's sudden arrival was probably aimed at her.
Qin Chu lowered her head and took a sip of tea. She turned to look at Gu Wanqing beside her and said gently, "I think I left my phone in the car. Could you go get it for me?"
Gu Wanqing nodded without thinking much, stood up and said, "Okay, you can order first."
After Gu Wanqing left, Qin Chu casually draped his arm over the chair and asked, "I wonder what brings Miss Shi to the capital to see Wanqing this time?"
Shi Miao smiled and said, "Well, it's nothing. I know a little about medicine. I heard she hasn't been able to conceive for many years, so I came to take a look at her."
Qin Chu twirled the teacup in his hand and said calmly, "No need for Miss Shi to trouble herself. It's none of our business to interfere in matters between husband and wife. Be sensible and don't contact her again."
Shi Miao clicked her tongue, propped her chin up, and looked at Qin Chu with a half-smile: "You seem very afraid of me having contact with her. Besides, who said I'm an outsider?"
Qin Chu's face stiffened, and she snorted coldly, "I don't understand what you're talking about."
Shi Miao's eyes flickered slightly; Qin Chu indeed knew her identity.
...
Gu Wanqing returned to the private room with her phone, sensing that the atmosphere between the two was a little strange, but she didn't think much of it.
"Why aren't you saying anything? Have you ordered the food?" Gu Wanqing sat down next to Qin Chu and looked at Shi Miao with a smile.
"I've ordered, everything is to your liking." Qin Chu affectionately put his arm around her shoulder.
"You wouldn't believe it, Miaomiao loves spicy food just like me. We're so lucky to have each other. And I've noticed that Miaomiao's eyes and eyebrows are quite similar to mine, don't you think?" Gu Wanqing took a sip of tea and said to herself.
Upon hearing this, a dangerous glint flashed in Qin Chu's eyes, and the fingers gripping the teacup tightened. "No, I don't think so."
Shi Miao simply thought it was normal for a niece to resemble her aunt, and didn't find anything wrong with what she said.
After finishing their meal, the two parted ways at the restaurant entrance.
After watching Gu Wanqing's car disappear from sight, Shi Miao hailed a taxi and went to Ji Yanchen's residence.
