Upon hearing these words,
Lin Yu struggled to control his expression, maintaining a composed demeanor.
Guessing the identities of complete strangers on the spot?
Based solely on descriptions from the nurse on the way here?
Was such a thing even possible?
Lin Yu instinctively suspected that Du Ruxue had resorted to doxxing methods!
It was hard not to make that connection.
The apartment was indeed fortified with Lin Yu's security measures.
Even if Du Ruxue wanted to infiltrate from here, it would be impossible.
But with so many people present,
everyone's phones could be potential targets.
Given Du Ruxue's capabilities, pulling it off wouldn’t be difficult.
Considering the multiple personalities revealed in the simulation tests, she was certainly capable of such actions.
If this were truly the case, this "welcome gift" upon entering the apartment left Lin Yu feeling deeply unsettled…
However, in the next moment,
the reactions of Du Ruxue and Aunt Qimeng made Lin Yu question his suspicions.
Aunt Qimeng smiled and said to the group,
"Let’s give Xiaoxue a chance then…"
"At least introduce yourself before you start guessing, dummy."
Lin Yu: "???"
Xia Yiwei and Xia Xiashan: "???"
Maomao: "???"
Dummy…?
Such an affectionate nickname, directed at Aunt Ruxue?
Xia Yiwei and Xia Xiashan were slightly more adaptable.
After all,
they had already been bombarded with shocking revelations on the way here.
They were well aware of the once-close roommate relationship between Aunt Ruxue and Sister Qimeng.
But Maomao, who was already nervous, knew nothing about this.
Hearing Aunt Qimeng call her "dummy," Maomao’s brain completely short-circuited.
With her straightforward way of thinking, she couldn’t even begin to imagine—
Just how close did two people have to be for such a term of endearment to be used on Aunt Ruxue?!
Maomao looked almost pleadingly at the Xia sisters.
Xia Xiashan frowned, unsure how to explain.
Xia Yiwei shrugged, as if to say it was too complicated to put into words.
Their reactions only made Maomao even more confused!
It wasn’t Maomao’s fault for being unable to process this.
Even Lin Yu had needed time to digest the information.
Who would’ve thought?
The seemingly ordinary "Acting Sect Leader" had such connections?
Mo Shangying and Ye Mengfu, who were privy to Maomao and Lin Yu’s plans, exchanged glances.
In each other’s eyes, they saw a clear, triumphant "Win!"
But one thing became immediately clear to Shangying—
Their previous strategy…
had to be completely scrapped, thanks to the unknown relationship between Aunt Ruxue and Sister Qimeng!
The other girls present, unaware of the underlying stakes,
were simply amazed that Sister Qimeng had such an elegant, warm, and beautiful best friend.
Du Ruxue smiled and nodded, obediently following Chen Qimeng’s lead.
Like an approachable older sister, she cheerfully introduced herself first:
"Hello, everyone! I apologize for dropping in unannounced today. I hope you’ll forgive the intrusion."
"My name is Du Ruxue, the founder of an internet company."
"And most importantly—I’m your Sister Qimeng’s college roommate!"
The girls all nodded in understanding, expressions lighting up with realization.
Little did they know…
the truly shocking revelations were just about to begin.
"Besides that, I’m also the aunt of Xia Yiwei and Xia Xiashan here."
Gasps of surprise rippled through the room.
Many marveled at the serendipity of it all.
Pingchuan City wasn’t exactly small, yet fate had brought them together like this.
But the real bombshell was yet to come…
Du Ruxue gestured for Maomao to come forward.
Without hesitation, Maomao stepped up to stand beside her.
Turning to face the group together, Du Ruxue continued:
"And one more thing… I’m also Maomao’s legal guardian. I raised her."
The entire room erupted in shock: "!!!"
Especially the original residents of the apartment—none had expected this connection.
Maomao stood beside Du Ruxue, unable to resist glancing up at her expression.
Maomao: "……"
Something was off.
This was completely unlike anything in her past experiences.
Or, to put it another way…
Maomao’s "database" had no records of how Aunt Ruxue behaved around "close friends and family."
For as long as she could remember,
Aunt Ruxue had always been calm and detached, never showing strong emotions toward anyone.
Why?
Why was she now displaying the kind of warmth and familiarity reserved for best friends?
Maomao’s linear thought process, faced with unprecedented "data,"
completely froze. She couldn’t process the situation at all.
But one thing was clear:
Aunt Ruxue was in a good mood.
In fact, she seemed genuinely happy.
Perhaps…
Aunt Ruxue’s visit today wasn’t a crisis after all?
Lin Yu listened to Du Ruxue’s "sincere" self-introduction from the sidelines.
He couldn’t find any flaws in it.
Judging purely by the atmosphere,
Du Ruxue’s current persona was simply that of Aunt Qimeng’s long-lost confidante.
After finishing her introduction,
Du Ruxue began her "live guessing game."
"Now, it’s my turn to guess who everyone is…"
"The twin sisters—Da Chi and Xiao Chi."
"Wow, you two look completely identical."
"The older sister carries herself with quiet confidence, while the younger one has a lively energy."
"Did I get it right?"
As she spoke, Du Ruxue pointed to each sister in turn.
Even the apartment residents struggled to tell them apart sometimes.
Yet Du Ruxue nailed it on her first try.
Chi Qingshui: "Hello, Aunt Ruxue. You guessed perfectly."
Chi Qingchi: "Aunt Ruxue is amazing!"
Du Ruxue’s gaze swept across the room, landing on Shen Buyao next:
"Graceful and poised, yet with an unshakable determination in your eyes."
"That’s the kind of presence honed from dealing with all sorts of people."
"You must be Shen Buyao of the Shen Family."
"And the young woman beside you must be the current head of the Shen Family in Pingchuan City."
"Her name is… Shen Jiuyi, if I recall?"
"I heard the Shen Family has been working on reuniting after the split. Wishing you smooth progress."
Shen Buyao: "!!!"
Shen Jiuyi: "……"
How did Du Ruxue know so much about the Shen Family’s affairs?
Since recovering their ancestral heirloom,
Shen Jiuyi had indeed been pushing for reunification.
But even Lin Yu, who had played a key role in the Shen Family’s upheaval, hadn’t discussed it much with them.
Shen Buyao: "Hello, you—"
Shen Jiuyi: "Nice to meet you."
Shen Buyao wanted to press further, but Shen Jiuyi stopped her.
Clearly,
the other party’s knowledge and standing far surpassed theirs.
Since today wasn’t about the Shen Family,
there was no need to delve deeper here.
