Chapter 511: Chapter 13 The Mystery of Yan Xin

An Xiunian immediately looked at Guan Ning.

It had to be said, although it wasn’t their first meeting, she still couldn’t help but be a little enamored.

Guan Ning was a full one meter and ninety centimeters tall, with a tall and straight figure, handsome features, and facial features as if they had been sculpted, no less charming than those top male idols, and his physique was even like that of a professional model.

To An Xiunian, Guan Ning, such an epitome of tall, rich, and handsome, was something the past her could never have hoped to attain. She herself was of average looks, short, and with an even more ordinary figure.

Normally, a man like Guan Ning, who could be the leading man in an idol drama, probably wouldn’t even give her a second glance. But now, he could sit in front of her, and, moreover, he was her fiancé.

Although she had only met Guan Ning for the first time, her heart was already filled with joy.

Who says only men are lascivious?

She cleared her throat and said to Guan Ning, "Guan... Guan Ning..."

"Are you feeling better now?"

Guan Ning’s voice was magnetic and his enunciation was incredibly clear, perfectly capable of making him a professional announcer.

"I’m fine, don’t worry, Guan Ning. I... I wanted to talk to you today, about our wedding."

From her brief contact with Guan Ning before, An Xiunian could roughly judge that their wedding date was drawing near.

"Hmm, about that," said Guan Ning calmly, "there’s no need to talk to me about it, right? Just decide on your own."

Huh?

Was this man, perhaps, embodying the persona of a doting husband?

However, An Xiunian might be happy, but she definitely wasn’t like those naïve heroines of idol dramas. Guan Ning’s words probably meant his family background was inferior to hers.

Of course, Guan Ning’s family background should also be not bad, but An Xiunian could only recognize the Gucci belt he was wearing. She didn’t detect the brands of the other clothes he was wearing. It seemed she needed to take the opportunity to study more about luxury brands later.

"Guan Ning, marriage isn’t something one person can decide. Of course, we have to discuss it together. For example, about where to go for the honeymoon..."

An Xiunian was thinking that through natural conversation, she could talk about Yan Xin’s past with Guan Ning. That way, she could understand what kind of person Yan Xin had been before, making it easier for her to play the part.

Yet, Guan Ning’s expression became even stranger.

"Change the honeymoon location? Do you want to change it?"

"No, that’s not it. I just thought we could discuss it..."

"Discuss with me?"

Guan Ning’s expression was one of complete astonishment, as if his brain could not comprehend the meaning of "discuss."

"Guan... Guan Ning?"

"What exactly do you want to talk to me about?" Guan Ning continued, "Isn’t it to carry out the plan during the honeymoon?"

Plan?

"Haven’t you always forbidden me from interfering with your plans?"

Yan Xin’s plan?

What plan?

An Xiunian was nearly bursting with questions—she had a whole barrage of whys, yet she couldn’t ask any of them!

What to do now?

"No, it’s not that. I have no plans to carry out. I just wanted to simply discuss..."

"Yan Xin." Guan Ning’s voice lowered, "Whatever you want to do, I hope you will inform me first. Do you understand?"

Then, Guan Ning raised his hand and straightened his collar, saying, "The day after tomorrow, I have to go abroad."

"Abroad?"

"Yes," Guan Ning said, "I need to make some preparations. The reason I came out to meet you was also to report to you in person. You have attracted the attention of the people from the hospital this time."

Hospital?

Before An Xiunian could ask, Guan Ning said, "It’s on camera, there were people from the hospital at both the train station and the accident site. So, people from the hospital might come looking for you."

People from the hospital?

An Xiunian was confused, but there was the perennial problem—clearly, she wasn’t supposed to ask questions.

Why would anyone from the hospital go to the accident site?

"They are troublesome," Guan Ning leaned closer to An Xiunian, continuing in a lowered voice, "But, I suppose you should be able to handle them cleanly."

What does "handle them cleanly" mean?

Why does that sound so odd?

And why would people from the hospital come looking for her? Didn’t she discharge normally?

An Xiunian was completely at a loss.

Why did everyone speak in riddles? This was City W, not Gotham! Couldn’t someone say something she could understand?

After that, Guan Ning began to lean back, saying, "All right, let’s get to the point. Did you arrange to meet with me outside because you have a special task to give me?"

Special task?

"Don’t tell me that you really wanted to discuss where to spend our honeymoon? That joke isn’t funny. Since when did you start having this kind of sense of humor?"

An Xiunian subconsciously raised her hand to scratch her forehead, disguising the shock on her face.

Something wasn’t right...

Something was very wrong!

Guan Ning had just mentioned "reporting" to her, and now something about a "task."

It looked like Yan Xin was quite dominant, and Guan Ning was utterly obedient to her!

"Go ahead." Guan Ning continued, "I know that since this plan failed, you must be planning the next one. Right?"

Could someone please explain what the plan actually is?

She simply gritted her teeth and said, "You, just take a guess, what do you think I’m planning?"

That was the only way she could ask.

"I couldn’t possibly guess that," Guan Ning shook his head and said, "Just tell me what it is, and I’ll do it."

"Just take a wild guess."

An Xiunian could affirm that there was some very important information between Yan Xin and Guan Ning that she must know. Otherwise, it would definitely raise their suspicions.

She had to find out!

Guan Ning adjusted his sitting posture and looked at An Xiunian seriously, saying, "Actually, Lin Rui called me."

Hmm?

An Xiunian found it strange.

Lin Rui was her "mother," that is, Guan Ning’s future mother-in-law. Where was it acceptable for someone to address their future mother-in-law by her first name?

That was completely unreasonable!

Shouldn’t it be "your mom" or "Auntie"?

"She said that the surveillance footage captured some images. This means that the backlash has already started. Have you noticed anything out of the ordinary recently?"

Backlash?

What backlash?

"When I return to the country, I will come back with my mother. At that time, we will find a way to solve this issue. Also, you’ve finally agreed to replace her. It’s about time."

Replace "him," "her," "it"?

This time there was finally an object, but it was just a personal pronoun.

What on earth did that mean?

"When you go back today, it should have already been replaced."

So you’re saying I’ll find out what has been replaced when I go back today?

"It"... doesn’t seem like it’s the car or something.

After that, she dared not chat with Guan Ning any longer.

Instead, she chose to go home early.

She was curious about what had been replaced that had Guan Ning so concerned.

On the way home, she took out her newly purchased phone from the mall, turned it on, and browsed the news online.

She wanted to see the media coverage of the car accident.

According to the news media, the police had not announced whether the car accident was due to human factors. The bus company was under great pressure. Although the insurance company could provide compensation, how could the relatives of the deceased let the bus company off the hook? They demanded compensation.

The video showed numerous relatives of the deceased protesting outside the company’s door.

An Xiunian glanced and saw her own parents.

Especially her mother, crying her heart out sitting on the ground.

An Xiunian, seeing her mother’s state, immediately put down her phone.

Crocodile tears!

They had never cared for her growing up, and now they were pretending to be good people to get more compensation money?

It was all fake!

Anyway, as far as they were concerned, only their son was their child; she was never their daughter!

An Xiunian told herself this.

From now on, she had nothing to do with the An family ever again.

Gone!

From now on, her mother was Lin Rui, and her father was Yan Shixiong!

After arriving home, she opened the door and saw her "father" Yan Shixiong already sitting on the living room sofa, looking at the news on his tablet.

"Dad."

"Hmm."

Yan Shixiong looked up at her and said, "Yan Xin, perfect timing. I came home early today, so we can all have dinner together."

Upon arriving at the villa’s dining room, she discovered a strange middle-aged woman sitting in the main seat.

Who? A guest of her father’s?

Just as she was about to speak up, the middle-aged woman looked up and said, "Yan Xin, you’re back, let’s eat together."

Yan Shixiong walked in and said to the middle-aged woman, "Ah Rui, it’s rare for me to come home early, just in time for us to eat together. Hmm, good, it’s about time for a change, you look good like this."

Replace?

Ah Rui?

Looking at that strange middle-aged woman, Yan Xin was shocked!

She was... "Mother" Lin Rui?

Replace?

Did she change her face???

Plastic surgery? No, that’s not right, can plastic surgery be that fast?

But then she saw the middle-aged woman stand up, she was at least twenty centimeters taller than Lin Rui!

Surgery can’t change one’s height, right?

At that moment, An Xiunian was chilled to the bone!
