【New Red Mansion】Perfect World

After hearing what An Su said, Ye Shuyan asked back, "Did you know Lin Pin'er before?"

"Before, in Jiangdu, I went to the same school as her. She was a well-behaved girl back then, and she was very low-key. She was completely different from now. I've never heard that she could play the guqin."

Xue Baochai immediately caught the message in her words and pretended to be surprised and said, "How is that possible? I've listened to her guqin vinyl records. That's not something she learned in a year or two. She must have been learning it since she was a child."

An Su then muttered, "There's another problem. She doesn't seem to recognize me now. I wonder if she's pretending."

Ye Shuyan frowned when she heard this. Before she could turn around, An Su exclaimed again:

"I have a bold guess. She might be an imposter? She is not Lin Pin'er at all, otherwise she wouldn't not recognize me and then suddenly be able to play the guqin."

Xue Baochai laughed inwardly after hearing this: "Fool, but it's all right. There is someone who is willing to take the lead, so let her muddy the water first. It has nothing to do with me anyway."

Then he just pretended to be surprised: "How can this be an impersonation?"

Ye Shuyan was shocked by An Su's guess. She thought: If Lin Pin'er was an imposter, then Madam Li would definitely not know. If Madam Li knew, she would definitely not recognize her as her granddaughter-in-law.

Then he used provocation to say to An Su: "Don't just make blind guesses, but show us the evidence first!"

An Su immediately promised, "Leave it to me. I'll check. I have many friends in Jiangdu. I remember that she didn't study well in her senior year of high school. She only liked to play games every day. Her dress sense was not as good as it is now. She is obviously not the same person. As long as I find out that she has never learned the guqin since she was a child, I can use this as a starting point to tear off her disguise bit by bit."

……

After the auction, everyone went their separate ways. Ye Shuyan called Xue Baochai into the car and showed her a photo on his cell phone.

"Can you help me check this? Is this also a guqin score?"

Xue Baochai took the phone, carefully identified the words on the picture, then enlarged the photo and said with certainty: "It is an ancient zither score, and judging from the handwriting, it should be Lin Pin'er's handwriting."

Ye Shuyan's expression suddenly turned ugly: "Do you still recognize her handwriting?"

"Yes, I've seen her handwritten music before. She has some small habits when writing, and I love studying calligraphy, so I can tell it's her handwriting."

Ye Shuyan tightened his grip on the steering wheel, thought for a moment, and then said to Xue Baochai, "Don't tell anyone what I showed you today. An Su is not tight-lipped. It's not that I don't trust her, but I'm afraid she'll alert the enemy. You and Lin Pin'er live in the same garden, so help me keep an eye on her when you go back. I'm not doing this for myself, but mainly because I'm afraid that Madam Li will be deceived. Tell me if you find anything wrong, I'll never forget your kindness."

Xue Baochai nodded and said, "Don't worry, I won't say anything nonsense."

On the way back, Ye Shuyan was driving, but he had many questions in his mind. Why did Li Hanlan collect Lin Pin'er's handwritten music scores? Would he also find out that Lin Pin'er was a fake? Or did he treat Lin Pin'er differently? He just smiled at Lin Pin'er and asked her questions. There was a doting look in his eyes, and he had never looked at him like that before. There must be something fishy between them.

Thinking about this, the car unknowingly drove back to the Ye family's old house. When parking the car, I found that there was a very flamboyant sports car parked in the yard.

When she went upstairs, Li Haoze just came out of his second uncle's study.

"Hey, my sister-in-law is back?" Li Haoze waved his hand with a ruffian look.

Ye Shuyan just nodded to him and watched him go downstairs before knocking on the door of his second uncle Ye Shuo's study.

"Second Uncle." Ye Shuyan walked in slowly.

"You're back? Did you see Madam Li today?"

"seen."

"She didn't say anything?" Ye Shuo continued to ask.

"It's just a normal chat. What on earth do the Li family mean? Didn't they say they wanted to talk about engagement during the Chinese New Year? Another year has passed in a flash, and there's no news at all."

"It should be soon. You saw Li Haoze coming today. He couldn't sit still, I don't believe Li Hanlan can sit still. You should be calm. Girls should be reserved. Reputation is very important. He will think highly of you in the future."

Ye Shuyan hesitated and said, "Li Hanlan also went to the auction company today."

Ye Shuo waited for her to continue, and seeing that she had no intention of speaking, he asked, "And then?"

Ye Shuyan's eyes were red at this moment: "He only said one thing to me: Goodbye."

Ye Shuo stood up with the teacup in hand and walked to the window. After thinking for a long time, he said, "You should dress up more, or study his preferences. If you do nothing, you should also think clearly whether you want future status or love. If you want love, you should quit. Others will be able to take your place immediately. You are not irreplaceable."

Ye Shuyan was so anxious that tears were about to fall. He was about to say something when there was a knock on the door.

"Please come in."

The person who came turned out to be Jia Yucun. Ye Shuyan knew that they were talking about business, so he quickly stood up, lowered his head, went out and closed the door.

*

Lin Pin'er and Qin Ke'er took different routes here, and left separately after saying goodbye.

Lin Pin'er drove today, and she sent Madam Li home first. After parking the car in the yard of the Li family, Madam Li invited Lin Pin'er: "Stay for dinner?"

Without waiting for Lin Pin'er to speak, Li Shuirong spoke first: "Grandma, today is the weekend, it's rare that she doesn't have an event. Give us some time alone!"

After hearing this, Madam Li couldn't stop laughing: "You two should go to your own world, I'm also very busy, be careful." After saying that, she waved to them.

Lin Pin'er had no choice but to wave goodbye and drive out.

Li Shuirong sat in the passenger seat, his legs stretched out naturally. This was his exclusive seat now. He checked his phone and replied to a few work messages.

Lin Pin'er played a song "Stay with Me" and the car drove smoothly on the road. The lights of the city in the distance were bright golden, and the whole capital was shrouded in a golden haze.

"Where are you going to take me?" Li Shuirong finally finished the work at hand. He also arranged for Shi Fan to help him look after several venues and gave him instructions for the arrangements after the meeting.

"How about going to the movies? We haven't been to the movies for a long time." Lin Pin'er listened to the saxophone interlude in the music, and her mood became cheerful, and her voice became lively.

"Okay, I'll listen to you today and you make the arrangements." Li Shuirong liked this feeling.
