“Absolutely. Xiao Chenyang sliced off his head. I saw it with my very own eyes.” Jin Qingyan hugged her tightly and kissed her before continuing, “I instructed s.h.i.+xin to pick the children up together with Xiao Chenyang.”
Noticing that An Xiaoning had burst into tears, Jin Qingyan quickly sat up and asked softly, “Why are you crying again?”
“I like crying, am I not allowed to?”
“You are, but you’ll become ugly if you keep crying,” he said, wiping the tears off her face gently.
She smiled and punched him teasingly. “Then why did you lie to me when you alighted from the car just now?”
He whipped out his mobile phone and said, “This is Xihou Jiaping’s mobile phone.”
An Xiaoning looked down at the chat history and she immediately understood the situation after seeing Yu Yiwei’s name.
“Yu Yiwei is actually working for Xihou Jiaping?”
“I didn’t expect it either.”
“Wait… when we were in B City previously, I saw her in the footages from the surveillance cameras in the ancestral graveyard when the Yin family was relocating Yin Cun’s grave. When I called the bodyguards who were chaperoning her back then, they told me that she claimed that her parents were in B City and that she had brought them to the zoo… Could she be Yin Cun? But you, me, and Yangyang all look the same as we did in our previous lifetime, don’t we? Why does Yin Cun look completely different? Even her gender has changed.”
“No idea. She’s not the only one who looks different. Fang Erlan looks different too, doesn’t she?”
An Xiaoning nodded and said, “Although we’re not certain if she’s Yin Cun yet, we’ll find out once we put her to the test.”
“How do you plan on testing her?”
“I haven’t thought about it yet, but I’d like to tell Yangyang and Tianze about it first so that they can stop worrying.”
“Sure, go ahead and tell them.”
“Wait for me while I go inform them.”
As soon as she stood up, he grabbed her wrist and said, “You must come back right after you’ve informed them.”
She smiled and said, “Yes, Young Sir.”
He let go of her, smiling.

“Sis Erlan, word about Cousin not being your cousin is spreading around the production unit. Is that true?” Xiao Yue asked.
“Who’s spreading it?”
Shaking her head, Xiao Yue said, “I don’t know. A lot of people know about it now anyway. Everyone’s saying that he’s your boyfriend. They’re making it seem as if it’s true.”
Fang Erlan answered, “He’s not my cousin, but he’s my bodyguard.”
Seemingly frightened, Xiao Yue asked, “Is he really not your cousin?”
“No.”
“Sis Erlan, is he really your boyfriend, then?”
“No. Pour me some water,” she said, handing Xiao Yue her cup.
“Alright.” Xiao Yue picked up the teacup and scurried away.
Fang Erlan walked toward Yu Caiwei and asked, “Did you spread those rumors?”
“Who said so? Don’t accuse me without any concrete evidence. But aren’t those rumors true? Since they’re true, why do you care who the person who started it is?” Yu Caiwei answered nonchalantly while touching up her makeup.
As soon as Fang Erlan tried to leave, Yu Caiwei yelled at her to stop her in her tracks.
“Is he really not your boyfriend?”
Fang Erlan answered, “No, why would I let my boyfriend become my bodyguard?”
“Well, I can’t be too sure about that. What’s wrong with making him your bodyguard for the sake of getting to be around him every day? I really don’t understand you, Fang Erlan. Are you dating Yan Ge now? Can you clarify it?” Yu Caiwei questioned, staring at her.
“How does it concern you in any way?”
“It doesn’t concern me, but I love gossip and I want to find out.” Yu Caiwei smiled and goaded, “What’s wrong? Are you afraid of answering?”
“I just don’t want to answer you,” said Fang Erlan, who then walked away.
Staring at her back view, Yu Caiwei put down her handheld mirror and stood up.
Yan Ge was busy discussing his scene with Directory Gao. She waited for them to finish speaking before saying to Yan Ge, “Will you have a chat with me?”
“There’s nothing to chat about.”
Feeling extremely disgruntled to see how aloof he was, Yu Caiwei said, “Yan Ge, I really have something to say to you.”
Director Gao chuckled and said, “Yan Ge, don’t turn a pretty babe down. Hurry and go.”
Yan Ge looked at Yu Caiwei and walked toward the side while Yu Caiwei followed suit.
They proceeded to a quiet corner, after which he asked, “Just what do you want to say to me?”
“You’ve already found out that Xiao Chenyang is not Fang Erlan’s brother, haven’t you?”
“I’ve found out about it long ago. So?”
“Are you really dating her now?”
“Is there anything else you have to say?” asked Yan Ge, who did not wish to hear her c.r.a.p.
“Yan Ge… I still have feelings for you.”
“Stop saying such nonsense. I’ve long forgotten about you. Just let our relations.h.i.+p remain as a thing of the past,” said Yan Ge, who left as soon as he said his piece, not giving her the chance to speak at all.
Yu Caiwei, too, walked away in low spirits. Being haughty and arrogant, she did not want to continue being thick-skinned and throw herself at Yan Ge. However, she felt that it would be a pity if she did not woo him again.
She was stuck in a dilemma.
She seemed to have sensed that Yan Ge truly did not have any more feelings for her.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have treated her that way.
The honeymoon period of their relations.h.i.+p seemed just like a dream now.
The moment Yu Caiwei arrived at the entrance of the filming location, she was stopped by a middle-aged woman. “Miss, h.e.l.lo. Does Fang Erlan work with this production unit?”
“Yes. How are you related to her?”
“I’m her mother.”
“Her mother? Why didn’t you just call her, then?”
Mrs. Fang smiled and said, “She didn’t answer my calls.”
“Oh, I see. I’ll bring you to her, then.” Yu Caiwei led Mrs. Fang to the set to look for Fang Erlan. When she realized that Fang Erlan was still busy filming, she said, “Auntie, wait for her here. You may look for her after she’s done with filming.”
“Yes, yes.”
Mrs. Fang stood at a distance away from the cameras and waited for Fang Erlan to be done with filming. The more she thought about it, the angrier she was. She was fuming, and her anger knew no bounds.
Once Fang Erlan was finally done, she immediately zoomed toward her and yelled, “Erlan!”
Surprised to see that she had shown up without warning, Fang Erlan walked toward her and asked, “Why are you here?”
“Why am I here? Do you still care about me?”
“Lower your voice, will you?” Fang Erlan chided.
“Oh, now you’re afraid of being embarra.s.sed. Do you think that I won’t dare announce to all your colleagues and crew members about how unfilial you are!?!”
Fang Erlan’s face grew sullen, and she asked, “Just what are you here for?”
“I’m your mother, what do you think I’m here for!?!”
Fang Erlan brought Mrs. Fang to the nanny van.
“You refuse to answer my calls, and we don’t even know where you had moved to. I finally found your workplace after asking around. Are you even my daughter? How could you treat your parents this way?”
