Chapter 682 Confirms He's the Person I'm Looking For
After returning home from eating spicy hot pot, Jiang Yuan received a call from Zhou Shuyu.

She got up and walked towards the garden, answering the phone as she spoke, "Shuyu."

On the other end of the receiver, Zhou Shuyu asked softly, "Yuanyuan, have you eaten?"

"I just got back from eating spicy hot pot outside," Jiang Yuan said with a smile. "What about you?"

Zhou Shuyu: "I just got home after dinner. Actually, I wanted to ask you, why didn't you tell Mingfei about your conversation with Kitty at the coffee shop this afternoon?"

"I knew you'd ask me." Jiang Yuan chuckled, then her tone became more serious. "Shuyu, Mingfei's mother is healthy, but she's going through something quite serious. I don't think it's appropriate for Mingfei to find out in this way."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Shuyu remained silent for two seconds before saying, "Okay, I understand."

She didn't press Jiang Yuan about what she had heard, and ended the call after exchanging a few words.

Jiang Yuan slowly lowered her hand holding the phone to her side, looking up at the twinkling stars in the night sky.

After a while, the phone in my palm vibrated.

Jiang Yuan lowered her eyes and clicked on the message to see Xiao Xu's message.

【Yuanyuan, the number you just sent belongs to a woman named Xie Chunmei, in her fifties, who works as a cleaner.】

Xie Chunmei? A cleaner?
Just as Jiang Yuan was thinking, Xiao Xu sent another message.

This number was only activated two weeks ago.

Jiang Yuan's gaze sharpened slightly as she typed a reply: "Xiao Xu, okay, I understand."

After sending the message, she frowned and pondered.

Xie Chunmei should be an insignificant person, and there's no reason for her to know about this.

Who is actually using this number?
A figure flashed through my mind subconsciously—Meng Yunlan.

Meanwhile, Meng Yunlan was holed up in her cramped and simple apartment.

Only one light was on in the hallway of the entire house, and the living room was dimly lit. She sat expressionlessly in a corner of the sofa.

A few minutes later, the screen of her phone, which was lying to the side, lit up. As soon as she picked it up, a call came in.

Meng Yunlan answered the phone, "Hello."

"I found the number and sent it to you. Please pay the balance."

"What's the rush? I'll pay you once I'm sure it's the person I'm looking for." With that, Meng Yunlan hung up the phone.

She opened the number in the text message and dialed it.

The phone rang for a while, then a gentle voice said, "Hello, who is this?"

Meng Yunlan curled her lips into a smile and asked, "Is it Song Mingfei?"

"Yes," Song Mingfei replied from the other end. "May I ask who you are?"

Meng Yunlan did not answer her question, but hung up the phone.

Suddenly, a busy tone came from the receiver, and Song Mingfei frowned in confusion.

Who is this person? That's strange.

Song Mingfei put down her phone and continued reading.

Soon, the phone vibrated twice.

Song Mingfei ignored it and only picked up her phone to take a look when she was about to go to sleep.

That one glance left her completely stunned, as if struck by lightning.

Her face was filled with astonishment, and she murmured in a trembling voice, "Impossible...this is impossible!"

Song Mingfei threw down her phone, burying her face in her hands in despair, "How could I not be Mommy's child?"

"This must be someone's prank!"

Song Mingfei tried to calm herself down, took a deep breath, and bent down to pick up her phone from the carpet.

She hesitated for a few seconds before dialing the number she had just called.

"Sorry, the number you dialed is not in service area..."

Song Mingfei frowned, feeling that something was amiss.

Why would this person make such a joke?
Song Mingfei couldn't sleep all night because of the text message that said she wasn't Liu Wenying's biological daughter.

She had also invited Zhou Shuyu to her house today. As soon as Zhou Shuyu arrived at the Royal Bay Villa in the morning, she could tell that she hadn't rested well.

"Mingfei, did you stay up late last night?"

Song Mingfei touched her face and said helplessly, "I had insomnia last night and couldn't fall asleep."

Zhou Shuyu looked around and asked in a low voice, "Are you worried about Auntie?"

"No." Song Mingfei was in a state of confusion. After thinking for a moment, she decided to tell the truth. "Doesn't it sound ridiculous? How could I not be Mommy's biological daughter?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Shuyu slowly frowned, recalling what Jiang Yuan had said on the phone last night.

Could it be...

"I must be Mommy's biological daughter," Song Mingfei told herself over and over again.

Zhou Shuyu pursed her lips and said softly, "Do you know who sent you the text message?"

Song Mingfei shook her head: "I don't know. I called back last night, but her phone was already off. However, before she sent me the text message, that girl called me and asked if I was Song Mingfei."

"A girl?"

"Yes, the voice sounds quite young."

"Show me the number."

Song Mingfei opened her phone. "This is the number."

Zhou Shuyu entered the number into her phone and dialed, but it still said the number was out of service.

"Isn't that strange?" Song Mingfei frowned. "She called me, sent a text message, and then disappeared. I don't know what her intentions are."

“It is indeed very strange.” Zhou Shuyu looked puzzled.

Song Mingfei sighed, "That's why I thought about it all night last night."

"Maybe it's just a prank," Zhou Shuyu comforted her. "Don't overthink it, relax."

"Okay, I'll try not to think about it."

"Are you tired? Go and rest some more, we can make it another day."

"It's okay, I'm not sleepy." Song Mingfei waved her hand. "Don't worry about me."

Zhou Shuyu nodded. "Okay, remember to tell me if you get sleepy."

"I know, I won't stand on ceremony with you." Song Mingfei affectionately linked arms with her and said with a smile, "We're practically family."

"That's good." Zhou Shuyu smiled as well.

In the evening, Zhou Shuyu drove away from the Royal Bay Villa and dialed Jiang Yuan's number on the way, "Yuan Yuan, are you home?"

"I'm at home," Jiang Yuan asked with a smile. "Want to come see me?"

"Yes, is it convenient?"

"Of course it's convenient, you're welcome anytime."

"Okay, I'll be there in thirty minutes."

"Okay, let's have dinner together."

"Okay, see you later."

When Zhou Shuyu arrived at the East Bank Villa, it was just in time for dinner.

After dinner, Jiang Yuan called her out for a walk.

"Shuyu, is there something you need to talk to me about?"

Based on her understanding of Zhou Shuyu, she wouldn't suddenly go looking for someone else at mealtimes for no reason.

"Yuan Yuan, you guessed it all." Zhou Shuyu chuckled. "I did have something to do. I went to Mingfei's house today..."

She recounted the phone call and text message Song Mingfei received last night, saying, "I remember that number."

Jiang Yuan frowned slightly and said in a deep voice, "Let me see."

"Okay." Song Mingfei opened the call log on her phone. "I tried calling, but I couldn't get through."

Jiang Yuan stared at the number, her eyes darkening. She took out her phone and opened the chat window with Xiao Xu.

Sure enough, it was the same number.
