Chapter 167 Jiang Yan's Conspiracy
"How to do?"
Ye Xingchen didn't understand why Ye Xinghe was acting so drunk in the middle of the night instead of sleeping. He casually replied, "Then go get a sex reassignment surgery, install an artificial uterus, have a bunch of children, reduce the burden of childbirth for women, and contribute to the country."
"Great!" Ye Xinghe clapped her hands in praise, "Second Brother! That's why you have to be my Second Brother! This kind of awareness is something most people don't have."
Ye Xingchen was startled by her shout and poked her forehead hard. "What's wrong? Who's impotent? Is it something to laugh about?"
Ye Xinghe was about to speak when she started laughing so hard she almost fell over. After a long while, she finally said, "I'm sorry, I didn't want to laugh either, but I really couldn't hold it in."
"Second Brother, I bet you want to laugh when you hear this. It's really unbearable to laugh when it happens to this person!"
Ye Xingchen was completely confused and scratched his head. "Tell me quickly, who is it?"
"Second Brother, you know this person too?" Ye Xinghe suppressed a laugh, but her body was still trembling slightly. "Just think, who would be the happiest if this happened to them?"
"The happiest..." Ye Xingchen tilted his head, drawing out the last syllable as he thought for a moment, "Chu Mofan?"
Ye Xinghe bit her lip to suppress a laugh and nodded vigorously.
"Holy crap! It really is Chu Mofan?" Ye Xingchen was first surprised, then joined Ye Xinghe in laughter.
The two siblings laughed for a long time before returning to their rooms to rest.
After washing up, Ye Xinghe sat on a chair on the balcony and looked up at the moon in the sky.
She thought of her previous life, which ended on the Mid-Autumn Festival. She still remembered the damp, cold basement, the small skylight, and how she looked up at the moon, longing for her family, just like she was now.
A tear slid down Ye Xinghe's cheek. She gently wiped it away with her hand, a smile tugging at the corners of her lips, and murmured to herself, "Thank God for his blessing."
Ye Xinghe looked around for a long time before returning to her room to start preparing for the trip to the old house tomorrow.
She plans to stay overnight at the old house tomorrow night and must find out the truth about her grandmother's Buddhist prayer room as soon as possible.
Chu Mofan underwent a series of tests at the hospital, which took nearly four hours to complete, and everything was normal!
He now felt completely fine, and even had a pleasant, post-exercise feeling. All the discomfort he had just experienced seemed like an illusion.
After parting ways with Ye Xingyu, Chu Mofan immediately contacted Jiang Yan.
Ye Xinghe's cold attitude towards him today made him suspicious. He was going to celebrate Ye Shuang's birthday tomorrow, and if he didn't deal with this matter quickly, his plans for tomorrow would probably be ruined again.
Jiang Yan happened to be home alone tonight, so Chu Mofan asked her to come up after he came downstairs.
"Why are you coming to see me so late?" Jiang Yan, wearing a red silk nightgown, swayed her lithe waist as she walked over, draping her arms over Chu Mofan's shoulders. "Did you miss me?"
"Let's get down to business first." Chu Mofan gently pushed her away, changed his shoes, went inside, and sat on the sofa. He rubbed his face with both hands for a long time before saying, "I think the thing you gave me has stopped working."
Jiang Yan sat down next to Chu Mofan, waiting for him to continue.
Chu Mofan recounted how he spent the holiday at the Ye family's house today, and how Ye Xinghe had handled his affairs.
"That's impossible!" Jiang Yan frowned slightly, her expression very serious. "Unless Ye Xinghe has already discovered the secret of the necklace and found someone to crack it, it will definitely not fail."
Chu Mofan shook his head in denial, "Ye Xinghe definitely wouldn't know! Her reaction after joining the sect was exactly as you described. Moreover, I could sense her behavior after she put on the necklace; her attitude towards me did indeed become much more intimate!"
Jiang Yan snorted coldly, her expression indifferent, "What makes you so sure?! Do you have any evidence?!"
"Maybe she's putting on an act for you?"
Chu Mofan waved his hand, "How is that possible! She has that ability?"
Jiang Yan's expression was calm, but her tone was very serious. "She's not the pushover she used to be. Do you know who was behind the trouble that happened to my clothing store a while ago?"
"It's Ye Xinghe."
Chu Mofan didn't speak, but stared wide-eyed at Jiang Yan, his face showing disbelief.
Jiang Yan continued, "Don't you think she's changed a lot? Whether it's her clothes, her mannerisms, or her speech, she's completely different from before."
"Sometimes I even doubt whether this person is really Ye Xinghe."
Upon hearing this, Chu Mofan instantly felt a chill run down his spine.
Jiang Yan is right, Ye Xinghe is indeed very different from before. It can be said that apart from her appearance and voice, everything else has changed.
Chu Mofan initially thought that Ye Xinghe had simply started dressing up more after graduation, which explained her different demeanor. Now, however, upon closer reflection, he realized that many aspects of her behavior were indeed unlike what he would have done before.
Chu Mofan rubbed his temples and asked in a low voice, "Why did she become like this? Or is this person not Ye Xinghe at all?"
“I don’t know either.” Jiang Yan stared intently at one spot, lost in thought. “I’ve been thinking about this too these past few days. I’ve thought about it carefully, and it seems that Ye Xinghe changed after that fever before her graduation thesis defense.”
"Think about it, she got a fever because she got caught in the rain while delivering things to you. Has she changed completely since then?"
Neither of them spoke, and they remained silent for a long time. Chu Mofan frowned and looked at Jiang Yan, "So what should we do now? I can still see her tomorrow. I need something to make her change her mind."
Jiang Yan pursed her lips. "Here's what we'll do: tomorrow, find an opportunity to test whether she really is Ye Xinghe."
"Ye Xinghe is allergic to boiled eggs. If she eats even a little bit, a rash will appear on her chin."
"Once we confirm that this person is Ye Xinghe, we can proceed to the next step. We don't want to end up binding someone who isn't the right person, and then all our efforts will be in vain."
Chu Mofan frowned slightly, his expression troubled. "She's very wary of me now. I guess this will be difficult to accomplish."
"Do I need to teach you something so simple?!" Jiang Yan turned around, facing him, her tone slightly reproachful. "Prepare a hard-boiled egg beforehand. It's crab season now, so peel one for her and mix a little egg white and yolk in."
After saying that, Jiang Yan got up and went into the inner room. She took out a box from a world-class luxury brand and handed it to Chu Mofan.
"It's a brand new product. It has the same function as the necklace you gave her before, but it's lighter and smaller."
