After their confessions were rejected, they regretted it for the rest of their lives.

Chapter 93 How about I stay at your house? (Three updates, 10,000 words total, please subscribe)

Ke Yuexuan didn't get to see Duan Rong one last time until the phone rang again from home—urging her to come back.

It wasn't about urging her to go home quickly, but rather because the girl hadn't taken back the inheritance left by Duan Rong as her family had requested.

They took it for granted that Ke Yuexuan should hand over all her belongings.

The voice on the phone was nauseating.

Ke Yuexuan didn't reply. A surge of anger welled up inside her, prompting her to retort in a tone she had never used at home: "Go to hell!"

One thing I dislike.

This feeling caused Ke Yuexuan's body to tremble, and her delicate and gentle face twitched uncontrollably.

The girl didn't know how long she sat there. When her legs finally had enough strength, she staggered to her feet and left the house that had no owner.

For a period of time afterward, Ke Yuexuan used her acting skills to imitate Duan Rong's appearance and learn his habits from her memory. As time went by, the girl felt that she was becoming less and less like herself.

Until one morning, when she regained consciousness after a period of mental blankness, she sat up in bed. Outside the window, it wasn't morning, but the city at night.

Ke Yuexuan thought she had slept all day, but her skin, which clearly had undergone pre-sleep skincare, and her soft, freshly washed hair, made her vaguely feel that something was wrong.

It wasn't until she returned to her family's headquarters the next day, seeing the somewhat wary expressions on the faces of those people...

She was here yesterday, and...

"Are you just like Duan Rong, deliberately trying to upset your elders at the company?"

"They've really lost their manners, thinking they're all grown up now—."

"Is it really worth turning against your uncle for that little bit of money?"

'

""

What did she do yesterday?

Back in her bedroom, Ke Yuexuan tried to find out if the unknown helper had left any trace.

It wasn't until she found a notebook lying quietly on the living room table that everything became clear.

【Ke Yueci】

That's her name.

The ringing alarm clock on the bedside table woke Xia Weichan from his deep sleep. He reached out and pressed the alarm clock to stop the jarring sound.

Xia Weichan sat up in bed, washed up, and went out.

Today is the day to release a single for Zhou Juzi.

-

The girl would bring him breakfast every morning, which saved him time eating—although Xia Weichan wasn't the type to eat breakfast anyway.

The time he spent with Ke Yuexuan during his second playthrough almost helped him break his habit of not eating breakfast. As a result, for a period of time afterward, Xia Weichan felt quite uncomfortable without the girl's wake-up call and freshly made breakfast in the morning.

He tried getting up early to make breakfast a few times, but found it too troublesome and a waste of time, and the cost-effectiveness was not as good as going to a breakfast shop.

Later, Xia Weichan returned to her old self.

I wonder how Ke Yuexuan is doing now—

Xia Weichan shook her head. Just as she was about to get into her car in the underground parking garage, her phone rang suddenly.

—It is Zuoqiu Hangyu—

This is not surprising, since the handover with the Ke family was handled entirely by this young girl.

According to yesterday's plan, Zuoqiu Hangyu was to go to the Ke family early this morning for more formal negotiations.

On the phone, Xia Weichan told the lawyer, "Today's matter will be very easy. I already reached an agreement with Ke Yueci yesterday. She just needs to go through the motions."

When Zuoqiu Hangyu tentatively mentioned Duan Rong, Xia Weichan was taken aback, replied with a "I don't know," and then hung up the phone.

This guy's curiosity is incurable...

Meanwhile, Zuoqiu Hangyu, who was taking a taxi to the Ke family's house, stared into thought as the phone was hung up.

Sure enough, asking Xia Weichan directly didn't yield any results. However, after sorting things out, Zuoqiu Hangyu was about 80% certain that Xia Weichan was indeed Xia Weiyu.

Both their lifestyle habits and handwriting match up, and upon comparison, they are extremely similar to Lu Ye's.

More importantly, there's that bloodline certificate, which is highly likely to be tainted.

The doctor in charge of the assessment clearly concealed many things. Although Zuoqiu Hangyu could have directly reported it, considering the doctor's relationship with Xia Weichan—

It's enough that you know it in your heart.

Next, all that's missing is "Duan Rong." If we can deduce his relationship with Xia Weiyu, everything will fall into place.

The girl pondered all the way, her mind actively organizing the information, until she arrived at the group's conference room. Looking at the other party's lawyer, Zuoqiu Hangyu looked around but didn't see Ke Yuexuan. According to Xia Weichan, she only needed to go through the motions; that woman with close ties to Duan Rong probably wouldn't come.

However, to Zuoqiu Hangyu's surprise, Ke Yueci arrived again just a few minutes later—

Zuoqiu Hangyu looked at the other woman's gentle yet somewhat tired face, her long, curled eyelashes drooping slightly. This woman—it seems she just woke up today.

"Ms. Ke, I thought I would be dealing with your lawyer."

Inside the meeting room, Zuoqiu Hangyu spoke to the girl in front of him.

"Excuse me--"

Ke Yueci rubbed the corners of her slightly downturned eyes and forced a polite smile at Zuoqiu Hangyu: "After all, it belongs to my lover, so I have to take care of it myself."

Ke Yueci sounded a little listless; she hadn't been feeling well this morning.

For some unknown reason, Ke Yuexuan went to bed late yesterday and seemed to have been tossing and turning for a long time in the middle of the night. As a result, Ke Yueci woke up the next morning feeling dizzy and groggy. As she squinted and got out of bed, she felt as if something had poked her delicate soles. Looking down, she saw a few pills scattered under the bed, which instantly woke Ke Yueci up.

I didn't even eat breakfast early this morning, and rushed to have my stomach washed. Fortunately, it was just a small amount of medication, so it was nothing serious.

However, this truly left Ke Yueci with lingering fear.

Fortunately, Xia Weichan finally relented yesterday afternoon and agreed to the property exchange; otherwise, it would have taken who knows how long to acquire the film studio that Ke Yuexuan had been longing for.

She needs to reclaim the film studio under Xia Weichan's control as soon as possible, and then let Ke Yuexuan see it in person before she can feel at ease.

At least after this, I shouldn't have to put myself in a negative status anymore.

So, as agreed yesterday, she canceled her extra commitments and arrived as early as possible, although she was still a little late.

Ke Yueci sighed softly, not having much energy to wait for her lawyer and Zuoqiu Hangyu to argue. She said bluntly, "Yesterday afternoon, Xia Weichan agreed to the exchange with me. What you need here is to review the contract."

"Um--"

Beneath her long, slightly upturned eyelashes, Zuoqiu Hangyu blinked her beautiful eyes in confusion as she looked at the draft contract on the table. She asked, somewhat puzzled, "I know about this, but I'm still not quite sure how you all reached this agreement."

"So he didn't tell you?!" Ke Yueci curled her lips, somewhat speechless, feeling that Xia Weichan was too lazy to explain, so she left the task to her.

"Let me ask first, you and Xia Weichan only have an employer-employee relationship, right?"

"—?"

""

Zuoqiu Hangyu was slightly taken aback, then nodded and said, "That's right, but I don't understand what you mean."

"It's nothing, but I suggest that women as good-looking as you should stay away from him."

Ke Yueci gave a casual reminder. She harbored some resentment towards Xia Weichan. Since Zuoqiu Hangyu didn't have any good feelings towards this man, she didn't need to hide anything when she spoke next. "He exchanged a portion of the shares of the Ke family group and the film and television city for a development project I had called 'Melting Snow Mountain,' and the reason was for a girl—"

"?"

As Zuoqiu Hangyu listened to Ke Yueci's explanation, his brows gradually furrowed. He had sensed something was off during their phone call that morning...

Just yesterday, Xia Weichan firmly stated that she would not let the property fall into Ke Yueci's hands, but it turns out there was a hidden reason?

""

"Okay, if you don't believe me, you can ask him to confirm it."

"I believe you. This is good too. At least I feel much more relaxed."

Zuoqiu Hangyu said this, but her brows did not relax. There were obvious handprints left by Xia Weichan on it. She didn't need to confirm it anymore. This type of contract forgery would violate the criminal law, and Ke Yueci would definitely not do such a thing.

However, the transaction itself is not important. What Zuoqiu Hangyu cares about is Xia Weichan's behavior, because she assumes that Xia Weichan is Lu Ye's guess. Therefore, Zuoqiu Hangyu will inevitably compare the two. Back then, Lu Ye also bought the law firm where she was interning in order to get in touch with her.

And now, she has found a replica here—

I heard the names Zhu Xuening and Zuoqiu Hangyu from Ke Yuexuan's mouth.

This is definitely not Xia Weichan's "trainee girlfriend," but this incident made Zuoqiu Hangyu, who originally wanted to go find Zhou Juzi, vaguely change her mind.

Oh, right—

There was one more thing. After a moment's thought, Zuoqiu Hangyu tentatively asked, "Regarding the inheritance, I'd like to know more about your lover."

"?"

Xia Weichan parked his car at the school gate. He was always very punctual. After all, although university students' lives were still relatively conservative in this era, he often encountered female students with ulterior motives trying to pick him up at the Tsinghua University gate.

This unnecessary contact is of no value to Xia Weichan.

Especially those cars that, even with the windows closed, deliberately come over and knock a couple of times...

-

"Knock knock..."

However, the sound of Zhou Juzi knocking on the car window was quite recognizable to Xia Weichan.

The girl sat in the passenger seat, her beautiful peach blossom eyes falling on Xia Weichan, her delicate face flushed with the youthful rosy glow of early morning. "Good morning."

As usual, Zhou Juzi handed the breakfast she bought on her way to the cafeteria to her boyfriend.

Xia Weichan looked at the energetic girl with her hair tied in a high ponytail and asked, "Are you feeling alright today?"

"You're in great shape!"

Zhou Juzi proudly puffed out her full chest, a breakfast bun dangling from her mouth, and clenched her fist at Xia Weichan.

Looking at the girl's somewhat adorable appearance, Xia Weichan's expression was a bit complicated. The rapid growth of her affection was a good thing, but the speed at which her favorability increased was a bit too fast for the current situation.

"5

""

Xia Weichan turned her gaze away helplessly.

Compared to that, the bird feathers hanging on his car look rather unsightly after a while.

Should we find another bird to pluck one?

"By the way, aren't you getting a little tired of eating these pre-made breakfasts every morning?"

The inquiry from Zhou Juzi brought Xia Weichan back to his birdwatching thoughts. Seeing that the girl seemed to have something to say, he said, "I don't usually eat unless you bring me breakfast."

"Isn't this bad for your health?"

Zhou Juzi frowned, seemingly concerned about her boyfriend's health, and said seriously, "How about... I stay at your place, and I can use the kitchen, so we won't have to eat pre-made breakfasts anymore."
