"Jiang Yu? Who is that?"
Yin Yali wasn't unfamiliar with the name; she seemed to have heard it somewhere before, but she couldn't quite place it. She pondered for a long time, and just as she was about to go out and meet her, Deng Wei, who had been lost in her analysis of the situation and considering the current circumstances, suddenly stood up, looking tense.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing the other person's unusual behavior, Yin Yali frowned, somewhat dissatisfied. She even began to doubt her previous assumptions about her, wondering if that intelligence was genuine or not. She worried that the other person might end up with a useless teammate who would drag her down.
"Jiang Yu is Jiang Meier's older sister, and also the owner of the peace charm in my hand."
In Deng Wei's view, it must be that woman who knew the amulet was in her possession, which is why she followed her here to expose her. She couldn't help but think of her situation after Commander Bai found out the truth; not only would she be unable to stay in the cultural troupe, but she would probably also be sent to jail.
"real?"
When Yin Yali heard this shocking revelation, her eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. She hadn't expected the real person to arrive so quickly and began to regret what she had just said to this woman.
As Deng Wei nodded in confirmation, she gave an awkward, startled laugh:
"Now that the main character has arrived, no matter how much we cooperate, we can't change the situation. Why don't you go back and talk to that Jiang Meier to think of a way to minimize your time in prison?"
"Since we've talked for so long, I'll kindly remind you. Bai Xiuye may appear refined and cultured to outsiders, but he's actually more ruthless than anyone else. If he finds out you've deceived him, he definitely won't let you off the hook."
Yin Yali stubbed out her cigarette and got up to leave. She couldn't stay with this woman any longer, or she would be considered an accomplice.
"No, you can't abandon me. To tell you the truth, this Jiang Yu has another identity: the vice president of Qingyun Garment Factory, and also the designer of the school uniforms for the city's elite schools last time."
Ever since Deng Wei learned that she was impersonating Jiang Yu, she had been keeping a close eye on her actions and achievements. She knew that in order to meet the requirements of Principal Han of the prestigious school, the eldest daughter of the Su family had specially hired a disciple of a famous designer.
I heard that the famous designer is named Gong Sheng, and the so-called disciple is Yin Yali's younger sister, Yin Luoran.
It's said that Yin Luoran, with her sister's financial support, went to Japan to study fashion design when she was young. However, she was involved in a minor plagiarism lawsuit, which severely damaged her reputation. She hoped to revive her career by designing uniforms for a prestigious school, but Jiang Yu beat her to it.
Yin Yali had also inquired about her deeds and personality, and knew that if she really returned to the Bai family, she would definitely not have a good time, let alone make any money.
No, she couldn't let that happen.
"So, Aunt, we're still in the same boat."
Deng Wei was very satisfied with the woman's reaction, and this time she looked at the other woman with a smug expression.
"Okay... I'll go out and take a look. For safety's sake, you stay here and don't go out. If anything happens, we'll have a reason to kick her out. As long as the two of them don't meet, there's no way to verify the evidence."
She completely agreed with Yin Yali's words. Thinking that the other party was, after all, an old fox, and would consider things more thoroughly than she did, she didn't say anything more.
The woman took a deep breath, walked a few meters, and spoke to the waiting maid:
"Take me to see it."
Outside the door, Jiang Yu was stopped by several servants. Before she came, she had already figured that the villa area where Commander Bai lived must be inhabited by important figures, and it would be unrealistic to just rush in.
He lied, saying he was going to Commander Bai's house to order clothes for his wife and needed to have his measurements taken first. Seeing the guard's suspicion, he secretly took out a pack of cigarettes he had prepared beforehand, stuffed it into the guard's hand, and then came in.
She had overheard Shen Ying mention Commander Bai's address before. She possessed a photographic memory, so remembering a house number was more than enough for her.
When I first entered the villa area, I was furious because of the clothing store incident. But now that I've calmed down, I'm full of admiration for the sights inside.
I started to fantasize about how wonderful it would be if she could live here.
Reality is always cruel. While imagining a beautiful future, she was stopped by the servants at the villa gate. She said she was looking for Commander Bai, but was told he wasn't there. She assumed he was hiding something out of guilt.
"Let me in. I really need to see him. It's urgent, someone could die."
No matter how I explained, they wouldn't let me in. After much pleading and cajoling, when I finally tried to force my way in, my strength simply wouldn't allow it.
"Who are you? Do you have an appointment to see Commander Bai?"
Yin Yali was already seething with anger because of what Deng Wei had just said about Jiang Yu's identity, but she was able to act as if nothing was wrong and ask gently, which shows that she has excellent acting skills.
"Are you Mrs. Bai?"
Upon hearing the servants' address to the woman, Jiang Yu immediately guessed at Bai Xiuye's family situation, as Shen Ying had previously mentioned. It seemed this was his second wife; she appeared gentle and tender, but Jiang Yu sensed a hidden ambition in her eyes.
"Yes, comrade. If there's anything you need to discuss, you can talk to me first, and I'll pass it on to Commander Bai when he returns."
Seeing that the other party had no intention of letting her in, Jiang Yu expressed her understanding. It seemed that Commander Bai was indeed not home; this trip had been in vain.
"It's nothing important. I'll tell you when he gets back. There's no need for you to pass it on, Madam."
Jiang Yu was wary, and managed a forced smile, appearing respectful and very polite.
"Alright, if you're willing to wait, you can wait here for a bit. However, there are many rules in this villa area, as you've probably already known before you came. I'm sorry I can't invite you in for a cup of tea."
Before figuring out Jiang Yu's purpose for coming here, she couldn't be too obvious. She certainly couldn't let her in, and if possible, she didn't want her to have any contact with Bai Xiuye. But that wasn't realistic.
"It's okay, I can wait. As late as I want."
Jiang Yu had made her decision clear, so Yin Yali didn't say much. She left after saying a few words, and as she turned around, she gave Jiang Yu a vicious look and let out a cold snort.
Deng Wei is right. If this woman acknowledges her ancestry, she will be a real problem to deal with.
Jiang Yu rushed over early in the morning, without even having time for breakfast. She sat under a big tree in front of the villa, trying to block out the light with its shade.
Three hours later, just as she was feeling her stomach growling with hunger, she heard the sound of a car. Alarmed, she stood up, dusted herself off, and went to see if Commander Bai had returned.
As she looked around behind the car, the door opened. A figure appeared before her, carrying a boxed lunch.
Jiang Yu thought she was hallucinating from hunger, so she went up and pinched the man's face. It was soft and felt real.
