Chapter 72
At this moment, Xu Wanwan's psychology was very complicated.
Ye Junwen said she looked like someone. Who did he mean? Was he trying to find out something or looking for someone?
What was he thinking now? Why wasn't he talking?
Could she leave now?
Ah! She also didn't know if Mengmeng had come out of the toilet yet. Would she not be able to sleep without her by her side?
She guessed not. Mengmeng was like a little pig, when eating her eyes were only on the food, and when sleeping, she could fall asleep immediately after flopping onto the bed.
Alas, it seemed her status in Mengmeng's heart might not be that important after all.
Ahhhhh! How heartbreaking!!
At this moment, Ye Junwen looked at the girl's ever-changing expressions in front of him and frowned slightly. Was something wrong with her?
He lightly coughed. "Cough, Miss Xu, why don't you go back and rest for now. We can chat again when we have time."
"Okay, goodbye!"
Xu Wanwan was overjoyed at the reprieve. She didn't engage in any more small talk with Ye Junwen either, and immediately got up and ran upstairs.
Ye Junwen watched her hurriedly retreating figure, a trace of disdain flashing through his eyes. She was as crude in her behavior as expected of someone from the backcountry. She couldn't be allowed to be a bad influence on Mengmeng.
Returning to his room, he took out his phone and dialed a number.
"Hello, help me investigate a person..."
The next morning, Ye Jinmeng and Xu Wanwan went to school together.
Today was Friday. Ye Jinmeng only had one morning class while Xu Wanwan had two.
Because the holiday was a full week, the school didn't arrange any make-up classes. The classes were simply postponed.
So as long as they finished the morning classes, they would have another two and a half days of a mini-vacation. It felt awesome.
Ye Jinmeng's class today happened to be Design. The teacher projected all the students' assignments onto the screen and reviewed them one by one.
Some students who didn't take it seriously just randomly drew something to make up the numbers. Some others had designed very well and received praise from the teacher.
As expected, Ye Jinmeng's work amazed the other students.
"The young miss of the Ye Group is just different, her taste is so good."
"Not bad for the school belle. Everything she does looks beautiful."
"Awesome class monitor!"
Of course, there were also people questioning in whispers.
"Many famous designers work for the Ye Group. I bet they did the work for her."
"Well, rich girls are just different. They have access to whatever resources they want."
"No matter whether she has design skills or not, she'll surely have a much better career than anyone after graduation."
...
But none of the good or bad comments from her classmates entered Ye Jinmeng's ears. Right now, Ye Jinmeng was just thinking - "When will the class end?", "Why is there still so much time left?", "It was just half an hour ago, how come only one minute has passed?"...
Similarly, Xu Wanwan's class was also exceptionally lively.
The teacher was lecturing in front while the students below were whispering among themselves or chatting in groups.
"Have you heard? The class monitor of Class 1, Wu Mingshi, was taken away by the police!"
"Ah, I heard it was for soliciting prostitution!"
"What! I heard it was drug trafficking!"
"You are all wrong. I heard, it was statutory rape!"
"Holy cow, so sensational?"
"Doesn't look like it. He looks decent. Didn't expect him to be so indecent!"
...
Hearing these voices, Lu Renjia involuntarily glanced in Xu Wanwan's direction. She still looked focused, listening and taking notes seriously. Lu Renjia suddenly felt Xu Wanwan did have character.
Sitting next to Lu Renjia, Wei Youming noticed she kept staring in Xu Wanwan's direction. Recalling what happened that day, he seemed to realize something.
"Renjia, at the party that day, did Wu Mingshi do anything to Xu Wanwan..."
Lu Renjia glared at him fiercely. "Do anything? Nothing happened! Ask again and I'll smash your dog head!"
Wei Youming: Wronged ( ?._.`)
"Wanwan, come home with me."
After Xu Wanwan returned to the dorm, Ye Jinmeng said bossily.
"Huh? Let's not. I've already intruded for a few days. It would be inappropriate to go again."
Although Xu Wanwan really enjoyed spending time with Ye's family, she also knew moderation was best. Excessive intrusion might end up annoying them.
"No way! Dad and mom really like you. I really like you too. You also like my parents and me. Since we all like each other, why can't we be together?"
Xu Wanwan: Something's not right with you...
Seeing Xu Wanwan was still rejecting, Ye Jinmeng immediately put on a pitiful expression.
"(??_??) Wanwan, I've been waiting for you in the dorm without eating lunch. Who knew my hunger would be met with rejection instead. I'm so pitiful. ( ?-ω?`)"
She took a deep breath. "Sigh, I know Wanwan. I won't force you to come home with me."
"?~? Oh well, I'll just go home alone to face the scary uncle. No matter how scary he is, he is still elder. He surely won't harm me."
Xu Wanwan: ...
"Alright alright. I really can't handle you. I'll go back with you!" I was just worried about inconveniencing your uncle and aunt."
Ye Jinmeng immediately broke into smiles. "(=^▽^=) No way! Mom and dad really, really like you a lot. Mom even told me she feels you have great affinity and wants to recognize you as a goddaughter!"
So once again, Xu Wanwan got dragged home by Ye Jinmeng.
Everyone at home welcomed Xu Wanwan warmly, except for Ye Junwen.
It was Ye Junwen's first day working at Ye's Group. After getting off work and seeing Xu Wanwan appearing in the villa again, he cursed inwardly - "Damn it, why does this Xu Wanwan keep coming around all the time?"
He had thought that with Ye Jinmeng not around at home and Xu Wanwan living on campus after school reopened, it would give him chances to spend more time with Mengmeng.
Didn't expect this Xu Wanwan to be so tactless, unable to tell she was interrupting others.
With that thought, his gaze under the gold-rimmed glasses glared fiercely at Xu Wanwan as he strode back to his room.
He took out his phone and dialed a number.
"Hello, how's the investigation on the person I asked you to look into?"
A hoarse male voice came from the other end. "Oh, just as you called, I was about to send it to your email. Don't rush, sending it now."
Ye Junwen hung up the call. In his phone mail he opened a new unread mail just received.
He quickly browsed through the content. His previous speculation didn't seem to have any issues.
The information showed Xu Wanwan's parents used to work in Hai City where they gave birth to a baby girl 18 years ago at Hai City First Hospital. They had brought the child back to their hometown Lin Yun after her one month celebration.
Gu Qi had also given birth at Hai City First Hospital that year.
He was 7 then. Those few days he had often followed his parents to the hospital so he remembered very clearly.
Therefore, the possibility of a baby swap was still quite likely.
Or perhaps Xu Wanwan's adoptive parents wanted a better life for their child and had swapped babies. That was also possible.
But those didn't matter. The most important thing was to get their hair or blood samples as soon as possible for a DNA test. Everything would be clear then.
