Chapter 556: Chapter 554: It’s her! It’s this woman!
Lu Zhaozhao furrowed her brows tightly, seemingly in disbelief, but after scanning Song Sinian’s face several times and seeing that he didn’t appear to be lying, she finally eased up.
Song Sinian nearly burst into laughter, bowing his head to nuzzle against her neck, "Zhaozhao, be good."
Lu Zhaozhao felt a tickle on her neck and obediently sat in his arms, quietly watching Song Sinian work on the data on the computer.
Suddenly, an email from Pei Huai popped up, causing Song Sinian’s brows to furrow, but he still clicked it open with ease.
The email contained a zip file with photos.
He had just downloaded it when a message from Pei Huai appeared on the screen.
[I found this while investigating Feng Ya Meizi, perhaps it will be useful to you.]
Song Sinian raised an eyebrow in confusion, not understanding how the affairs of Feng Ya Meizi were related to him.
But he still opened the photo.
With just one glance, Song Sinian understood, for in the photo, aside from Feng Ya Meizi, there was someone they both knew well—Xia Wenjin.
After Xia Wenjin went abroad with Xiao Jinglan, she had mysteriously disappeared.
Xiao Mo capitalized on Xia Wenjin’s disappearance to build a persona and earned a wave of sympathetic tears.
Song Sinian fell silent for a moment, his fingertips flying over the keyboard, "Why would Xia Wenjin appear there?"
Soon, he received a reply from Pei Huai.
[This woman was rescued by Feng Ya Ichiro’s mistress and has been living in their house.]
Had he not been investigating Feng Ya Meizi’s situation, he probably wouldn’t have stumbled upon Xia Wenjin.
[Xia Wenjin has had her face ruined, but from her recent behavior, it seems she’s not satisfied with her current life and has already started to fight back.]
Following that, Pei Huai sent all the information he had gathered to Song Sinian.
Song Sinian quietly looked at the material in his hands and fell into silence, and Lu Zhaozhao quickly noticed the change in Song Sinian’s emotions.
She subconsciously looked at the computer in front of Song Sinian, her eyes suddenly widening substantially, "Is this Xia Wenjin?"
When Song Sinian heard Lu Zhaozhao’s voice, he quickly came back to his senses.
He nodded gently, "Yes, this was found by Pei Huai while he was investigating Feng Ya Meizi. She’s now in the same place as Feng Ya Meizi, and she recently had plastic surgery..."
Upon hearing the words "plastic surgery," Lu Zhaozhao’s brows immediately knotted.
In her mind, anyone who had reconstructive surgery after being disfigured harbored thoughts of assuming someone else’s identity.
Xia Wenjin’s reputation was tarnished before she went abroad, and she did not get along with Xiao Mo’s family, she... who did she want to transform into with the plastic surgery?
Whose identity did she want to assume to return?
Thinking this, Lu Zhaozhao gently clenched Song Sinian’s garment, saying hesitantly, "She isn’t planning to transform herself into someone close to us, is she?"
Or perhaps to replace her and Xu Zhenzhen? Or even Wen Qingyu?
After all, those were a few of the women familiar with Xia Wenjin.
If Xia Wenjin wanted to return to the country for revenge, transforming into one of them would make it easier.
But... replacing the three of them wasn’t going to be easy, yet it wasn’t impossible, which was precisely why Lu Zhaozhao was so nervous.
Song Sinian, of course, understood what Lu Zhaozhao was worried about, and his large hand gently patted her back to comfort her, "Zhaozhao, don’t worry, this woman’s target isn’t you guys this time, but Feng Ya Meizi."
Lu Zhaozhao was slightly taken aback, "Are you saying Xia Wenjin wants to have plastic surgery to look like Feng Ya Meizi? Hasn’t she already lost her position as an heiress?"
Now Feng Ya Meizi’s face was disfigured, which indeed presented a good opportunity for substitution, but her status was no longer the same as before.
Song Sinian raised his hand and gently brushed the tips of her hair, then explained with painstaking patience, "Perhaps it’s precisely because Feng Ya Meizi is no longer the heiress that Xia Wenjin wants to have surgery to look like her."
A discarded piece that seemed insignificant, yet still lived a life of luxury, was indeed an attractive option.
Xia Wenjin always prioritized profit; she knew crystal clear what would benefit her.
It was just that sometimes she could be mistaken.
Lu Zhaozhao fell silent for a moment, it appeared... that did seem to be the case.
Seeing Lu Zhaozhao no longer speaking, Song Sinian then flipped through the remaining photos, but when he got to the last two, his brows almost twisted into a knot.
Because aside from Feng Ya Meizi and Xia Wenjin, there was another woman in the photos—one he was all too familiar with.
This woman had a face identical to his mother’s.
If he remembered correctly, Pei Huai had mentioned before that this woman’s identity was Fengya Ichiro’s mistress.
But his mother had died a long time ago.
Only, later on, his mother’s body mysteriously disappeared.
For the Song Family, this had been a scandalous matter, so very few people were in the know.
Song Sinian had also thought before, if his mother had faked her death, could she still be alive?
However, after that, he gave up on these thoughts because that woman no longer mattered to him.
Lu Zhaozhao noticed Song Sinian’s demeanor seemed different from before, so she followed his gaze and looked back at the computer.
When she saw that photo, she couldn’t help getting agitated, "It’s her! It’s this woman!"
Song Sinian was startled by Lu Zhaozhao’s exclamation, but as he came to his senses, he saw Lu Zhaozhao pointing at the photo on the computer. As he wondered what was going on, he saw Lu Zhaozhao suddenly clutch her own head.
Song Sinian was also frightened and quickly embraced Lu Zhaozhao, "Zhaozhao, what’s wrong with you?"
"It hurts, my head hurts, really badly," Lu Zhaozhao said, covering her head, yet unable to stop shivering.
Song Sinian suddenly recalled the woman Lu Zhaozhao had just mentioned and seemed to realize something, "That woman who was with Lu Dagui, the one who pushed you down the stairs, is it her?!"
Lu Zhaozhao shivered severely, but still clenched her teeth and mustered the last bit of her strength to nod.
Song Sinian had originally not wanted to delve back into those memories, but since they were related to Lu Zhaozhao’s amnesia, he had no choice but to take them seriously once more.
His large hands held Lu Zhaozhao tightly, and he cooed gently in her ear, "Zhaozhao, it’s okay now, I’m here, I’ve always been by your side. Don’t be afraid..."
After a long while, Lu Zhaozhao’s condition slowly showed signs of improvement, and she calmed down in Song Sinian’s arms, her whole body drenched as if she had been fished out of water.
This clearly revealed the extent of Lu Zhaozhao’s resistance to the matter, as well as the emotional trauma it had caused her, which was greater than he had imagined.
Song Sinian’s fingertips lightly typed a line on the keyboard, and the message was immediately sent to Pei Huai. 𝖓𝔬𝔳𝖕𝖚𝖇.𝖈𝔬𝔪
[Send me the information of the woman who took in Feng Ya Meizi. The more detailed, the better, preferably including when she appeared at Fengya Ichiro’s side, as well as all the people she’s come in contact with before!]
