Just taking care of Han Ling for her would earn Wei Yuan five hundred thousand, which left him momentarily baffled. At this price, even the male attendants in the highest-end hotels in Jinghai City wouldn't be so extravagant, right?
He spat!
Wei Yuan quickly dismissed such thoughts; how could he compare himself to those kinds of men? Yet, he couldn't help but silently recite a calming mantra a few times. Clearly, there was no such easy deal in this world. Wei Yuan patiently awaited her next words.
"I won't take this money!" Wei Yuan replied.
"Why?" the woman asked.
Thus, Wei Yuan bluntly stated, "I don't even know who you are, nor your relationship with Han Ling. I have no idea what I would need to do to earn this five hundred thousand. This money isn't easy to take!"
Upon hearing this, a faint smile suddenly appeared on the woman's lips. She was undoubtedly the most beautiful and graceful woman Wei Yuan had ever seen!
In this world, there exists such a woman that when she smiles at you, you genuinely feel that there is magic in the world.
Lan Xue's smile was elegant and delicate like a blooming lotus, Yang Ying exuded a captivating charm filled with allure, while his cousin Xie Yufei had an adorable and cheerful laugh reminiscent of a cute Loli. But the woman before him, whose name Wei Yuan didn't even know...
Her smile exuded an unusual sharpness. Undeniably, it was the most perfect face Wei Yuan had ever encountered. Her beauty combined with a unique aura sparked many associations; her smile felt like a sharp blade, carrying immense aggression!
"What should I call you?" Wei Yuan asked.
"The name isn't an issue; you can call me as you did when you called before!" she replied calmly.
This strong aura of a dominant woman made Wei Yuan take a deep breath. In that moment when she squinted her eyes, he seemed to catch a glimpse of a sharp glint in her gaze. He rarely encountered women with such presence, giving him the illusion that she was a powerful figure wielding great authority, a leader strategizing from behind the scenes!
And if he were to rely on the original way of addressing her, how should he call her?
"Is it still Auntie? This title seems to refer to Han Ling's Mother. If this woman is Han Ling's mom, then Wei Yuan can't believe that her own mother would be involved!"
"I can't say it!" Wei Yuan said.
So she didn't explain much, only saying, "Then let's change the name. I am Yuan Ziyi."
This name suddenly made Wei Yuan's mind tremble, and she couldn't help but shout, "Yuan Ziyi!"
Clearly, this name immediately reminded Wei Yuan of the Purple Robe Pavilion that had been chasing Yang Ying!
Are these two things a coincidence, or is there really a connection?
If there is indeed a connection, she wouldn't directly use this name to hint at herself; isn't that just making it obvious? What is she planning by revealing her identity and offering money?
"Is there something wrong with this name?" Yuan Ziyi asked.
Wei Yuan forced herself to remain calm and explained, "No problem, I just suddenly remembered that I think I've seen this name in a Jin Yong martial arts story."
If Han Ling has some autism and fear of men, then this woman in front of her, whose relationship with Han Ling is unclear, is even harder to deal with. Yes, she is very beautiful and pleasing to the eye, but interacting with her still feels challenging for Wei Yuan!
It feels like playing a game of chess; you are trying hard to figure out your opponent's moves but don't realize you've already fallen into their trap. Everything is under their control and calculation, which naturally doesn't feel good for Wei Yuan!
"Yuan Jie, if there's nothing else, please take me back. I will personally return the 500,000 to Han Ling!"
Wei Yuan spoke decisively. There was no one around here; it would take at least an hour to get a taxi to the city center. If she wanted to go back, she could only take her Hummer.
At this moment, Yuan Ziyi got straight to the point and asked, "What do you think of Han Ling?"
This question immediately put Wei Yuan in a difficult position. It wasn't that he didn't know how to answer, but rather that he couldn't understand Yuan Ziyi's intention behind asking it.
"First tell me, from what standpoint are you asking this question?" Wei Yuan countered.
Talking to a woman like this was exhausting; you could never tell if her words were calculating something against you. Thus, Wei Yuan could only tread carefully and throw the question back at her.
"What do you think?" Yuan Ziyi continued to feign mystery.
This made Wei Yuan involuntarily analyze the situation logically: This woman appeared to be a year or two older than Han Ling. Generally, there were four types of relationships: friends, biological sisters, and two less likely ones—mother and daughter, or they could be in a same-sex relationship...
Clearly, Wei Yuan ruled out the last possibility first. In reality, there weren't that many lesbians around; it was unlikely anyone would spend fifty thousand to thank someone for taking care of their friend. If they were biological sisters, their last names would be the same. However, one possibility remained: mother and daughter, which was also not the most plausible.
Even if Yuan Ziyi were eight years old when she had Han Ling, she couldn't have given birth to her, right? As Wei Yuan felt embarrassed, he thought of one last possibility!
"Are you her stepmother?" Wei Yuan exclaimed excitedly as if he had solved a century-old puzzle.
Upon hearing this, Yuan Ziyi suddenly looked surprised and displayed an expression of defeat. She rolled her eyes and then shook her head with disappointment while looking at Wei Yuan.
"We are half-sisters!" Yuan Ziyi provided a shocking answer.
This explained why the two had different last names; perhaps one took their mother's surname?
No wonder capable people in this world always occupy more resources. Just looking at that modified and expensive Hummer made it clear that Yuan Ziyi's father was probably quite an extraordinary person...
"Well, since Han Ling is your sister, you can just take her back. What do you mean by giving me money?" Wei Yuan said.
Then Wei Yuan once again had the fortune of hearing a family secret, only to hear Yuan Ziyi say, "She doesn't even know that this sister exists!"
"What does that mean? Are you in a soul state right now?" Wei Yuan weakly asked, trying to imagine.
Yuan Ziyi liked to speak mysteriously, and Wei Yuan followed her lead, also speaking off-topic. He really didn't know how to treat a stranger who casually gave him money.
"My father has two women at the same time; they both know about each other, but their daughters don't know. One eldest daughter found out and wants to find an opportunity to meet her sister. When she saw that her sister's face was disfigured, she felt very sorry and wants to make it up to her!" Yuan Ziyi explained.
"If you're making it up to her, you should give her money instead of giving it to me!"
"Her mother's business is very successful; she doesn't lack money!"
"Then you should just go and acknowledge her as your sister and show concern for her in your capacity as an elder sister."
Upon hearing this, Yuan Ziyi fell silent!
