Rebirth and Revenge: The Young Lady is Actually a Top Killer

"Hey handsome boy, you're here again?" Unfortunately, the old lady's greetings inadvertently disrupted Zhou Shiyan's train of thought. "Are you here to buy lotus cakes for your mother again today?"

"...Yes, grandma," Zhou Shiyan turned his gaze back to the counter, "but you don't need to bring a box today, just a paper bag will do. I want six."

"Okay~" The old lady wrapped six lotus cakes as she said, pinched the knot and handed them to him, "Little handsome boy, you haven't seen Yue girl before you came here, right?"

She changed the subject so abruptly that Zhou Shiyan's hand paused as he was about to pay.

"Ah? Yue..." He touched the machine and took the rope, "Are you talking about the girl just now?"

"Yes," the old lady tilted her head, "Yue girl is a new and old customer who has only come to buy cakes from me in the last two months."

"She comes here often, but she always comes late. And the last time I saw her... it seems to have been more than half a month ago."

"I didn't expect that not only would you come today, but you would also come earlier than usual."

Zhou Shiyan turned his head again and glanced in the direction Jiang Siyue left: "Grandma, do you know... what her full name is?"

The snow gradually became lighter, and there were vague signs that it would stop.

"Hey! Handsome boy, this is the first time we meet, and you're already attracted to me?" The old lady is not a conservative person. "Unfortunately, I can't do that. I have to protect the privacy of my guests!"

"Besides, Yue girl is still young, there's no rush for her to find a partner!"

Zhou Shiyan instantly felt like he had suffered a loss.

Dating? It seems that he doesn't have that intention...but he does want to know who she is.

"Okay~" Zhou Shiyan responded with a smile, "Then I'll leave first, grandma. It's snowing and cold, you should go back and rest early!"

The old lady also waved at him: "Okay! Come often! The snow is thick, watch your step!"

Zhou Shiyan gathered his scarf and said, "No problem, don't worry!"

……

Walking out of the alley, the snow was lighter and most pedestrians on the street were no longer holding umbrellas.

Zhou Shiyan's phone did not have a lock screen password, so he accidentally touched the screen at some point and unlocked the phone.

The page was still on the chat box between him and Xie Ranzhi, but there were ten new messages.

As Zhou Shiyan was walking along the sidewalk back to the company, he accidentally spotted the shiny screen.

Didn’t he turn on the accidental touch protection function?

Young Master Zhou was puzzled and was about to check the settings of his mobile phone.

But when he looked at the screen, he stopped abruptly.

The message was delivered ten minutes ago, with a picture and nine paragraphs of text.

[Good boy, mom has never shown you the photo before. This is Xiaoye, your Aunt Liu's daughter! You said you have been back to China for almost two years, so you haven't met her yet? ]

[And let me tell you! What a coincidence! Your Aunt Liu just told me that Xiao Ye also likes to go to that old lady's pastry shop to buy food recently! What she likes is 'Longjing Tea Cake'. Longjing Tea Cake! Write it down quickly! ]

[But... you should know? That Xiaoye had been in love with the guy from the Xu family for more than ten years...? ]

[But! But! Mom can guarantee you with her personality! Even if this happened, Xiaoye is definitely a very good girl! What's more, she has figured it out now! She doesn't like him anymore! ]

[Son, do you understand what mom means? This is an opportunity! A great opportunity!! And your aunt Liu asked me to send you this photo after getting Xiaoye's consent. After all, we can't just grant marriages randomly, we have to respect personal wishes, right?]

[So, back on topic! Since Xiao Ye agrees, doesn’t that prove that she’s interested in you too?! ]

[My dear son, whether you have this idea or not! But your aunt Liu and I both agree that we, as elders, have known each other for so many years, and our children should at least meet each other, communicate with each other, and get to know each other! Don’t you think so? (Mom knows that Mingyao and Mingye are both very familiar with you, and Mom is just talking about Xiaoye.)]

[What do you think, Xiaoyan? If you agree, we can have a meal together this weekend! With two families together, Xiaoye will definitely come! ]

[Agree to deduct 1. It's cold, please come back quickly.]

There were two full pages of text, and Zhou Shiyan habitually turned to the first one.

The first one is a selfie.

When Zhou Shiyan saw the small picture, his pupils shrank slightly.

He quickly clicked on it and loaded the original image.

The girl in the photo is wearing a slim-fitting, color-blocked knitted sweater and a Phalaenopsis orchid hair accessory in the same color as a part of her clothes on her right ear.

Zhou Shiyan continued to enlarge the picture until only the part above the tip of the nose could be seen.

The old lady’s words were still fresh in his mind. Zhou Shiyan stared at the screen, his mind full of the pair of eyes exposed outside the red scarf.

Even though the girl in the picture was wearing light makeup, he was still convinced.

This was the same person as the "Yue Girl" that the old lady mentioned just now.

Is she Aunt Liu's daughter?

its not right.

He clearly remembered that Aunt Liu's daughter's name did not contain the pronunciation of "Yue".

Is it a nickname?

The pair of bright eyes continued to replay in his mind. Zhou Shiyan somehow returned to the chat box, read Xie Ranzhi's message at a glance, and asked a question without any context.

[Mom, does she have a nickname? ]

After sending the message, Zhou Shiyan started walking again and rushed back to the company in two steps.

Xie Ranzhi was not surprised to receive such a strange reply, and even sent a voice message.

Zhou Shiyan returned to the office and played the voice message while tidying up his desk.

Xie Ranzhi's gentle voice rang out in the office: "Xiao Yan? Didn't you read Mom's message carefully again? I asked you to deduct 1."

"But you mentioned this nickname... I don't think there is one. We all call you 'Xiao Ye Xiao Ye', and your Aunt Liu and Uncle Jiang call you that too."

"What? Are you attracted to me? You haven't even met me yet and you're asking me my nickname. What do you want to do?"

"Son, let me tell you something! If you dare to be a 'beast in human clothing', your father and I will never forgive you!"

The voice ends here.

Across the desk, Wei Yu and Shan Sui remained silent, but Wei Yu's face had turned red from trying to hold back his laughter.

Zhou Shiyan's expression was tense, and he gritted his teeth and replied to Xie Ranzhi with a "1".

And quickly typed: [I've seen it, you make the arrangements. I don't want to be a beast in human clothing! I'll explain it to you when I get home! ]

……

At the same time, at Jiang's house.

The snow has stopped.

Jiang Siyue stepped out of the car, took off her scarf and pushed open the door of the villa.

She folded the tasseled part inside, held it in her left hand, changed her shoes and walked towards the living room.

"Xiao Ye is back~?" Liu Cangxue looked up when she heard the voice and saw her walking through the hallway, "Come on, come here quickly! Mommy just happens to have something to tell you!"

Jiang Siyue smiled and walked to her side and sat down obediently: "Mommy, what's the matter?"

Liu Cangxue chuckled, placed the scarf and cakes in her hands on the coffee table, and then said, "Xiaoye, you know Xiaoyan, right?"

Jiang Siyue heard this and quickly reviewed her memories: "Is it... Aunt Xie's son? Young Master Zhou?"

"Yes! It's him!" Seeing that she remembered, Liu Cangxue immediately took out his cell phone and found the photo, "This is a recent photo of Xiao Yan that your Aunt Xie sent me~"

Jiang Siyue thought: No way... are we really going to arrange a blind date for them? ?

Jiang Siyue laughed dryly twice and tried his best to get away with it.

But the moment he glanced at the screen, his smile froze on his lips.

In the photo, the boy is wearing a loose cream-yellow contrasting sweater, sitting cross-legged on the ground, fiddling with the assembly parts on the floor.

The picture was taken by him, and the perspective was to the left, so only the left side of the boy's face could be seen.

Even so, Jiang Siyue still recognized him - the tall boy who she caught a glimpse of when she was buying pastries earlier.

It turned out to be him.
