A spoiled brat at max level transmigrates into the male lead's vicious ex-girlfriend.

And then, to be even more honest:

"I didn't want to investigate you without your permission, but something just felt off. You only thought I didn't like you because you thought I would fall for Ding Ran, so I had no choice but to investigate her to see if I could find out anything."

He then said, "I'm sorry."

"Why do you say sorry so often? What's there to be sorry about?" Meng Mian pinched his lips. "Don't say it!"

"I was afraid you'd be angry." He lowered his head and pressed his forehead against hers.

Meng Mian's eyes crinkled into crescents:

"I'm not angry at all. This is perfectly normal. It would be abnormal if you didn't care at all or pay any attention. That would mean you don't actually like me that much. That would prove you like me a lot."

"And you didn't respect me much; you didn't investigate me, did you?"

Ji Silin was finally relieved.

Meng Mian then asked, "Did you find out anything else about her?"

Ji Silin then told Meng Mian everything he had found out about Ding Ran.

Meng Mian didn't even need to ask to be certain that Yu Sheng had indeed cheated on Ding Xueshi with his wife, and that Ding Xueshi was truly the other woman.

Meng Mian, however, felt that something was wrong with the female lead.

Whether the female protagonist was born from an extramarital affair remains to be seen. After all, the book ended so abruptly that many things were left unsaid, so she naturally couldn't know much about it.

She wouldn't be surprised by this.

That makes sense.

But what about the things that are clearly written in the book?

The female lead should be working at the city hospital, but she's working at the Ji's Hospital instead.

The female protagonist in the book clearly did not help Aunt Zhang, but she did help Aunt Zhang in the tea room before she met Ji Silin;

The female lead shouldn't know about her background now; but not only does she know now, she deliberately let Yu Sheng discover it.

Moreover, the female lead has been secretly keeping an eye on the Yu family these past few days.

It was clearly premeditated.

It's also clear that something's wrong with the female lead.

Is the female lead also a transmigrator? Does she know the plot?

Even if someone transmigrated into the book, read it, and knew the plot, the book didn't mention that Aunt Zhang would encounter a fire in the teahouse.

Could it be that the fire at the teahouse was simply because the female lead happened to be drinking tea there?

But the female lead is acting so strangely now, it's really hard for her to believe that the female lead in the teahouse and the burning house helped Aunt Zhang, it was just a coincidence.

If this wasn't a coincidence, then the fire was indeed an accident.

Doesn't that mean the female lead knew in advance that the teahouse would catch fire, and that Aunt Zhang must have been drinking tea in the teahouse at the time, which is why she went there to drink tea as well?

But this plot wasn't written in the book, so how did the female lead know all this in advance?

If you really knew in advance, then it wouldn't be transmigrating into a book, and there would only be one possibility: rebirth, right?

She didn't believe that Ding Ran, who was neither a transmigrator nor a reincarnated person, could suddenly know other things at this particular time.

Even something like a fire in the teahouse, which is something that will happen in the future, is why Ding Ran would appear in the teahouse beforehand to drink tea.

If someone suddenly finds out about this, they must know that no one will be injured or killed in the fire, yet they still show up there.

No one else helped, but they helped Aunt Zhang.

Isn't it obvious that they deliberately tried to get close to Aunt Zhang?

It's obvious they're planning something famous, right? Otherwise, why would they approach Aunt Zhang?

It's impossible that Ding Ran didn't know that no one would be injured or killed in the fire. Otherwise, why would she dare to stay in the tea room? Wouldn't she be afraid of something happening there?

The more Meng Mian thought about it, the more convinced she became that Ding Ran had been reborn.

Determining whether it was a rebirth is simple.

Investigate the fire and see if Ding Ran's presence in the teahouse at the time was a coincidence.

If it's not a coincidence, then it must be a rebirth.

Thinking this, Meng Mian hurriedly told Ji Silin, "Have someone check whether Ding Ran happened to be there when your mother encountered the fire at the teahouse."

The little ancestor clearly wasn't questioning whether the fire was an accident, but rather whether Ding Ran's presence there was a coincidence.

Ji Silin naturally didn't mention that the bodyguard had said the fire was indeed an accident.

Instead, they wondered why their little ancestor was so suspicious.

Could it be that Ding Ran knew there would be a fire in the teahouse and that his mother was there, so he went to drink tea in the teahouse beforehand?

How could Ke Dingran know what would happen in the future?

With these questions in mind, Ji Silin picked up her phone and called Lu Chen.

Let Lu Chen investigate this matter as well.

Lu Chen found it strange; he had just hung up the phone, so why was he suddenly being asked to investigate this?

But he immediately replied, "Yes, I'll check right away."

Seeing that Lu Chen had agreed, Meng Mian then started thinking about her own things again.

This means Ding Ran is reborn.

Wouldn't that also mean he might know that her relationship with Ji Silin only lasted three months?

Could Yao Ting have heard it from Ding Ran?

And who bribed Cao Peng to send the letter to the original owner's old home? Could it also be Ding Ranqian's doing?

It's no wonder she has this suspicion now; the female lead is acting very strangely right now.

Otherwise, why would Ding Ran approach Aunt Zhang?

And coincidentally, the female lead and Ji Silin met again last Thursday, but last Friday Cao Peng was bribed to copy the coffee shop's surveillance footage.

She really felt it was very likely.

If this was all done by Ding Ranqian, then he was both trying to get close to Aunt Zhang and trying to get back at her.

Ding Ran's purpose shouldn't be Aunt Zhang, or even her, but rather Ji Silin, right?

After all, the only connection she had with Aunt Zhang was through Ji Silin.

Could it be that Ding Ran not only reincarnated, but also knows that she is the female lead?

Even if he knew she was the female lead, he probably wouldn't go after her, because he would think the male lead would definitely fall for her, and she wouldn't be a threat at all; she would just become his ex-girlfriend sooner or later.

Could it be because Ji Silin didn't fall in love with Ding Ran at first sight in his past life that Ding Ran was in such a hurry and devised so many schemes as soon as she returned to the country?

Meng Mian blinked.

Why does it feel like I've mastered everything?

Could it really be like that?

But this raises another question: how did Ding Ran know that she was the female lead?

However, since there wasn't enough evidence to confirm these claims, Meng Mian stopped thinking about it.

But Meng Mian wanted to confirm first whether Yao Ting had heard it from Ding Ran about their three-month relationship.

However, the original owner disliked Yao Ting and did not add any of Yao Ting's contact information.

Even if she wanted to ask Yao Ting specifically which restroom she was in and at what time she heard it, she couldn't.

I'll wait until tomorrow at work, get my colleague's contact information, and then ask.

If Yao Ting changes her contact methods, then we'll have to send someone to the small county where she is now to ask her.

Ji Silin's people are still looking for Cao Peng in Fengcheng. She doesn't need to worry about Cao Peng's situation yet; she can just wait for news.

However, this concerns Yu Rui's family. Should we tell Li Xiwei about it?

But if she were to say it, how would she explain why Ji Silin felt something was wrong with Cha Dingran?

Anyway, wouldn't that just show that something is wrong with her?

Let's just forget about it and not talk about it.

Around Monday, they're changing their surname and holding a grand family reunion banquet. Li Xiwei will find out.
