Chapter 501. Affection (3)
Mu Yuchen’s eyes darkened as he looked at Xi Xiaye quietly after she spoke up.
Xi Xiaye held the glass in her hands tightly and sighed. “Some time ago, Ah Shi looked for Caitlyn. They didn’t mention it, but I know you guys have been struggling with it, so I convinced Caitlyn and her manager Sis Li who worked under Sis Lan before.”
He glanced at the paper and asked, “You went to meet them this afternoon?”
Xi Xiaye nodded. “Mm-hmm, I went to see them and to find out more. I suppose it’ll help us in the search.”
She reorganized her thoughts before looking back at him again. “Do you still remember that I asked you if you knew a man with the surname Wen?”
He looked downward quietly and nodded.
Xi Xiaye took a deep breath as her tone started to become heavy. “I heard from Sis Li that Sis Lan and Aunty were very good friends.

At least, I think Sis Lan knows something about Aunty that we don’t.
“Sis Lan didn’t get married. They said she had a boyfriend before and everyone called him Mr. Wen. He seemed to be a son from a prestigious family back then, but they didn’t get married afterward and no one knows why. As for this Mr. Wen… I think that there’s something odd about him. Remember yesterday you asked me what was wrong and why you couldn’t get through to my phone?”
“You told me it was because Lingshi talked about Aunty.” He glanced at her with a sharp gaze. “But I know that isn’t all.”
