Chapter 911 - 954: Too Naive
"It was Uncle who accidentally let it slip! When I asked further, he wouldn’t say anything more!" Before coming here, Ye Anxin thought about it for a long time, because Yan Qinghan loves nothing more than stirring things up, and he’s known to spread things everywhere like a loudspeaker! So, she decided against revealing the fact that Ruan Zhitong impersonated her!
Anyway, Uncle kept this matter well under wraps. Except for the house servants, her own mother, and Ling Yueyue, no one else knew about this!
She didn’t think it was something to be proud of! If she told Yan Qinghan today, and someday he used this to tease Uncle when he sees him, wouldn’t Uncle know that she came to find Yan Qinghan today!
So, she decided that no matter what, she couldn’t tell Yan Qinghan the truth.
Hearing Ye Anxin’s words, Yan Qinghan raised his eyebrows, smirking slyly, "Let it slip? Why do I get the feeling that you’re not talking about Mu Beiting? The Mu Beiting I know is always meticulous in his actions, as if his lips were sealed with iron. If he doesn’t want to say something, not even a crowbar could pry it from him! And he let it slip in front of you? Are you that innocent, or do you think I’m that gullible?"
"...!" Upon hearing this, Ye Anxin’s mouth twitched, her eyebrows and eyes twitching at the same time.
This Yan Qinghan, does he have to be so astute? He could see she was lying instantly! Indeed, one can’t judge a person by their appearance! No wonder Yueyue says he’s even more cunning than a fox; those words couldn’t be more accurate.
Yan Qinghan cleared his throat twice, playfully winked at Ye Anxin, and said with a smile, "Cough-cough, actually, my only hobby in life is a little gossiping, especially about Mu Beiting! So, you suddenly come to ask me about Ruan Zhitong today, something must have happened recently, right? Tell me, what exactly happened? How did you suddenly remember a person who’s been missing for four years? And how do you know she has split personality disorder?"
"...!" Hearing Yan Qinghan’s words, a clear trace of guilt flickered in Ye Anxin’s eyes, her head hung low, looking very troubled.
She knew she wasn’t good at lying; sometimes she could fool children, but in front of the cunning Yan Qinghan, she was easily exposed!
Looking at Ye Anxin’s conflicted face, Yan Qinghan’s smiling eyes narrowed into a slit, with a glimmer of interest shining through!
After struggling for a while, Ye Anxin suddenly raised her head, biting her lower lip, and pleaded, "It’s not that I don’t want to say, but I really can’t! Please, be merciful and tell me! You’re the only one I can turn to! You know Uncle’s character, no matter what I ask, he always says it’s in the past and tells me not to overthink! But women are prone to overthinking! Especially since this has really hit me hard! I desperately want to know the truth!"
She never thought that Ruan Zhitong had a split personality! She always assumed she was just naturally like that!
"Sigh...!" Seeing Ye Anxin so cautious, Yan Qinghan deliberately sighed deeply, reluctantly saying, "Since that’s what you said, I won’t make it hard for you. Who can resist a beauty’s plea when I am the most sympathetic to them? Alright! Whatever you want to know, if I know, I’ll tell you everything!"
Hearing this, Ye Anxin’s eyes lit up, nodding repeatedly to Yan Qinghan in thanks, "Really! Thank you, thank you, thank you so much!"
Seeing Ye Anxin being so polite, Yan Qinghan was startled and quickly said, "No need to be so formal, we’re friends, after all! So, what would you like to ask?"
Ye Anxin couldn’t wait to ask, "I want to know how you discovered Ruan Zhitong had a split personality? Is her condition severe? Why did she develop a split personality? Does it have something to do with Uncle?"
"Sigh... how should I say this? Frankly, although Ruan Zhitong has done many bad things and is deeply sinful, it’s also understandable. She’s also a poor soul!" Yan Qinghan sighed again, looking into the distance with a somewhat distracted gaze, continuing, "Actually, Ruan Zhitong was very pure and beautiful back then, like a lily without a speck of impurity! Maybe it was her unique charm that made both Gu Xingchen and Mu Beiting fall for her at first sight! However, Ruan Zhitong rejected Gu Xingchen and instead fell for Mu Beiting at first sight! They naturally got together! When they were together, they were really happy, and I could feel that Mu Beiting seemed to find a bright path in the darkness! Unfortunately, good times didn’t last, and eventually, they broke up! Not long after the breakup, Ruan Zhitong went abroad! I thought Mu Beiting would be sad and angry, after all, no man can tolerate being betrayed by the woman he loves deeply! However, after the breakup, Mu Beiting never mentioned Ruan Zhitong, as if she never existed in his life! After parting from Ruan Zhitong, Mu Beiting focused all his energy on work! Then... later he married you! At the time, when you lost your first child, although all evidence pointed to Su Yuexin as the perpetrator, both Mu Beiting and I knew that Su Yuexin had someone backing her, otherwise, it would be impossible for someone of her intelligence to execute such a meticulous plan!"
Yan Qinghan narrated seriously, while Ye Anxin propped her chin on her hands on the table, listening intently.
Yan Qinghan continued, "Initially, we never suspected Ruan Zhitong was the mastermind behind Su Yuexin because Ruan Zhitong was inherently kind. She wouldn’t harm even a small creature, let alone a little life! Especially judging from her usual behavior and personality! So, we never focused on her!"
Ye Anxin immediately asked in confusion, "Then how did you start suspecting her?"
Yan Qinghan’s eyes flickered slightly, pursed his lips, then continued, "I noticed that sometimes her expression was very normal, no different from before! Other times, she looked sinister, her gaze malicious, completely unlike before! When we first noticed, we thought she was just good at pretending, and that she orchestrated everything from the start! But she usually seemed fine! So, we kept an eye on her subtly! We discovered that many times, she didn’t remember the things she had said or done before!"
