Chapter 2451 - 677: Xu Ye Finally Meet! (Must Read) (2)
And she did not disappoint. At the moment she saw Shi Xiaowen, she indeed noticed something was amiss. This allowed her to save her own life.
Zhang Yufeng listened to An Yiqing’s deduction, feeling a burst of sighs, "Miss, did Shi Xiaowen deliberately save you?"
"Quite possibly."
"But, why would she do that?"
Why? There are many reasons. An Yiqing had previously studied Shi Yimeng’s facial features—a short-life person, and troubled by emotions. She always thought that Shi Yimeng was infatuated with Guh Siyi, but now thinking about it, perhaps he was infatuated with Shi Xiaowen.
Remember the last day of the competition, she led the Thirteen Blood Generals to attack Guh Siyi. At that time, both Shi Yimeng and Shi Xiaowen were present. Shi Yimeng’s most direct reaction was to always fight around Shi Xiaowen. If he liked Guh Siyi, shouldn’t he be wholeheartedly protecting the one he loved?
An Yiqing finally figured out the reasons and also understood why she felt uneasy. The gazes between Shi Yimeng and Shi Xiaowen entirely matched those of affectionate couples!
But aren’t they siblings?
Recalling Shi Xiaowen’s appearance, An Yiqing couldn’t find any resemblance between her and Yu Hai. Shi Yimeng is Yu Hai’s son, but what about Shi Xiaowen?
"Investigate Shi Xiaowen’s background, as thoroughly as possible. If possible, get blood samples or hair from Shi Yimeng and Shi Xiaowen. I want to perform a DNA test."
Zhang Yufeng moved swiftly. Shi Yimeng worked at the medical college, so it was easy to get hair samples. And Shi Xiaowen rarely went out, so Zhang Yufeng disguised himself as property management, and after some twists and turns, got her hair sample.
After An Yiqing conducted an examination, it was found that Shi Xiaowen and Shi Yimeng had no blood relation! Two people living together without blood ties, combined with prior traces, they were definitely a couple. Moreover, mutually affectionate!
This broadened An Yiqing’s associations further. Shi Yimeng is the senior disciple of the Poison Medicine Sect, Guh Siyi ranks second. Yu Hai is the Sect Leader of the Poison Medicine Sect, and judging by his actions, he values Guh Siyi highly. As for Shi Yimeng, An Yiqing had previously analyzed that his days in the Poison Medicine Sect weren’t good, otherwise, he wouldn’t have always been flattering Guh Siyi. He didn’t like Guh Siyi, yet claimed to love her. While his true girlfriend, Shi Xiaowen, always dedicatedly by Guh Siyi’s side, being treated like a servant.
The implications of this are considerable.
An Yiqing suddenly laughed, a somewhat gloating laugh. Guh Siyi always acted arrogant and domineering. If one day she found out that her lover and servant had been plotting against her all along, how would she react?
The internal conflict within the Poison Medicine Sect is more complicated than imagined. Did Shi Yimeng and Shi Xiaowen even keep Yu Hai in the dark?
Let’s put these matters aside for now. Gu Tingting’s return finally put An Zhihang’s mind at ease. After a sincere and open conversation, their relationship became more stable and mature.
That evening, Gu Tingting appeared at the An Family. Naturally, everyone was overjoyed, even the old man who had been scolding An Zhihang was beaming. Gu Tingting sincerely apologized to everyone, saying she made them worry. The An Family also felt her sincerity and change, and liked her even more.
The whole family had a lively meal together, and An Yiqing thought that her house was like celebrating New Year’s every day, joyfully enviable. Looking at the smiling faces around the dining table, she silently smiled. She hoped that tomorrow, the year after next, year after year, the family would always be filled with laughter.
Zhang Yuksheng acted quickly, accomplishing what An Yiqing instructed in just three to four days. The courtyard mansions around Xuanjin Hall were originally privately owned, and nobody wanted to sell. After all, courtyard houses in Xuandu City were worth their weight in gold, with rapidly rising prices. Upon learning this, Zhang Yuksheng took his people around, explaining the situation clearly. All those who owned courtyard houses were wealthy people from Xuandu or other cities. When they learned that Xuanjin Yulong wanted to purchase at a high price, they were tempted.
What’s behind Xuanjin Yulong? An Yiqing. And what’s behind An Yiqing? The An Family and Gu Family. If they sell the mansion to Xuanjin Yulong, wouldn’t that earn them some respect?
Between a courtyard mansion and earning respect from the An Family and Gu Family, everyone chose the latter. Moreover, Xuanjin Yulong’s offered price was indeed high, which satisfied them all.
The transfer procedures were completed quickly. To buy the surrounding mansions, Zhang Yuksheng spent nearly 400 million. Only someone as wealthy as An Yiqing could afford to be so extravagant. Xuanjin Yulong was not affected at all, but Liao Jinglin felt the pinch for a few days.
