Beautiful CEO's Top Expert

The photograph is not in color; it’s a black-and-white photo. The woman in the picture has two pigtails and a cheerful smile on her face.

Even though the photography technology of that time was far inferior to now, one can still see that the woman is quite beautiful, with excellent features. Even through the photo, one can feel the gentle and graceful temperament exuding from her.

Huangfu Yueli and Chu Yunlong immediately asked upon seeing the expression on Ye Xunhuan’s face, "Xunhuan, do you know this person?"

Ye Xunhuan took a deep breath, raised his head with difficulty, and looked at Huangfu Yueli and Chu Yunlong, saying, "Are you sure it’s her?"

"How could it be fake?"

"You said her name is Wang Lan?"

"Yes!"

"Are you sure it’s Wang Lan, not Wang Yulan or some other name?"

"You child, we’ve been living together for nearly two years now. Although more than ten years have passed, how could we possibly get the name wrong!" Huangfu Yueli said seriously, "Her name is Wang Lan, there’s no mistake about that!"

This time, Ye Xunhuan remained silent.

He initially thought this woman should be Aunt Wang!

Yes, Aunt Wang!

Because the woman in the picture and Aunt Wang looked just too similar, it’s just that Aunt Wang’s name is Wang Yulan, and this woman’s name is Wang Lan.

Could it be they’re not the same person, just look alike, merely a coincidence?

But if you calculate the age, Wang Zilin’s age matches up perfectly.

Looks like I need to dig into Aunt Wang’s past a bit; otherwise, if this king turns out to be Wang Zilin’s father, then I...

All of a sudden, Ye Xunhuan felt a whirlwind of confusion; he never anticipated that things could develop like this. This doesn’t fit the plot at all, nor does it fit logic.

"Have you met her before?" Chu Yunlong suddenly asked.

"I don’t know if it’s her, just that they really look alike, very much alike!" Ye Xunhuan smiled bitterly, "Just the name doesn’t match!"

"So I’m not sure if they are the same person."

"Who is she?"

"Ruoxi’s nanny, she’s always been in Jiangzhong City, and she started at the Xiahao family early on, plus it doesn’t match in this world!" Ye Xunhuan said with a complex expression, "But some aspects do match!"

"We can go and see, if it’s truly her, we will definitely recognize her," Huangfu Yueli said firmly.

"Let me ask first, we’ll talk later." Ye Xunhuan didn’t directly agree.

After all, if this isn’t Aunt Wang, it could be an embarrassing mistake, so Ye Xunhuan decided to explore first, and if he finds any leads, then let Huangfu Yueli and Chu Yunlong appear.

Huangfu Yueli and Chu Yunlong seemed to understand Ye Xunhuan’s concerns and spoke softly, "Alright, if you need our help, just let us know!"

"Mm!" Ye Xunhuan nodded.

At this moment, Ye Xunhuan had made up his mind to find Xiahao Yunting when he got back and chat with him about whether Aunt Wang was the woman once deeply loved by the king.

"But child, when will you call your aunt out, I..."

"I’ll talk to her when I get back," Ye Xunhuan said softly, understanding Huangfu Yueli’s intention.

"Make sure you don’t tell her I want to meet her..."

"Why..."

"It’s nothing, just I’m afraid she won’t meet me; bring her over someday," Huangfu Yueli said softly, not telling Ye Xunhuan the reason.

Though Ye Xunhuan harbored countless questions inside, Huangfu Yueli obviously didn’t want to say more, so Ye Xunhuan didn’t ask further, just nodded and said okay!

However, curiosity filled Ye Xunhuan’s heart; could it be Qin Rumeng and Huangfu Yueli were at odds, or was there some grievance between them?

Curiosity aside, Ye Xunhuan didn’t say more.

Ye Xunhuan originally just came to ask Chu Yunlong about the handkerchief, but who would have imagined Huangfu Yueli would be so enthusiastic, insisting Ye Xunhuan stay for a meal.

Facing Huangfu Yueli’s enthusiasm, Ye Xunhuan couldn’t refuse and stayed to have a meal at the Chu family.

After the meal, Ye Xunhuan lingered at the Chu family for quite a while before leaving; even as he left, Huangfu Yueli didn’t forget to tell Ye Xunhuan to come and visit!

This made Ye Xunhuan feel a certain illusion inside, as if he was part of the Chu family, Huangfu Yueli’s son.

Yet as Ye Xunhuan left, Chu Ji looked a bit reluctant, but she didn’t say anything.

After Ye Xunhuan had left, Chu Ji couldn’t help but ask Huangfu Yueli, "Mom, do you know Xunhuan..."

"Of course, in fact, I’m his aunt!" Huangfu Yueli said happily, "Back in the day, his mother Qin Fenghuang and I were close friends, like sisters..."

"Mom, then tell me, how did you know Aunt Qin back then, and why haven’t I heard you mention her before?" Chu Ji asked curiously.

...

After leaving the Chu family, Ye Xunhuan went straight back to the Xiahao family.

Because of winter and the short days, by the time Ye Xunhuan returned to the Xiahao family, dusk had already taken over.

Once he was back at the Xiahao family, Ye Xunhuan didn’t see Qiu Ruoxi and Michelle. Then Ye Xunhuan learned from Mu Shuyi that Qiu Ruoxi and Michelle were busy with something in the room!

Ye Xunhuan didn’t ask further about this, nor did he go looking for Michelle and Qiu Ruoxi, but instead started chatting with Mu Shuyi.

"Grandma, I need to ask you something, and you must think it through before telling me; don’t leave out anything!" Ye Xunhuan said earnestly, looking at Mu Shuyi.

"You child, what could grandma possibly hide from you?" Mu Shuyi said affectionately, "Go ahead and ask!"

Ye Xunhuan paused slightly in his mind before slowly speaking, "Grandma, do you remember what it was like when Aunt Wang first came to the Xiahao family?"

"Why have you suddenly decided to ask about this?" Mu Shuyi asked curiously.

"Grandma, you tell me first, and then I’ll explain!"

Upon hearing Ye Xunhuan say this, Mu Shuyi didn’t ask further and spoke softly, "At that time, Ruoxi was already seven or eight years old, she was in school then!"

"When Yulan arrived, I felt she was very amiable, with good manners, so I let her stay. Who could have thought she would serve here for so many years, treating Ruoxi as her own daughter!" Mu Shuyi said softly, "For all these years, we’ve treated Yulan like family."

"Grandma, that’s not what I want to ask. I want to know if Aunt Wang came alone at that time, without carrying a child?"
