Ming Yanan felt that Ming Yue's advice as a love consultant made a lot of sense.
She decided to give Yue Zan the cold shoulder for a while, and the next day, she acted very indifferent when she saw him.
Yue Zan didn't show any particular reaction either, still greeting her politely.
Their demeanor was like that of ordinary classmates, which made Ming Yue breathe a sigh of relief.
However, after receiving a call from Ji Shiyou, Ming Yue's mood tensed up again.
During class, she looked at the back of Yue Zan's head in the seat in front of her.
A hint of inquiry flickered in her eyes.
Yesterday, she had informed Ji Shiyou about Yue Zan's appearance, including what she remembered and her suspicions.
As he listened to Ming Yue's account over the phone, Ji Shiyou, who was half-reclining on the sofa, watched He Si busying himself in the kitchen.
He expressed deep sympathy but still got up and returned to his room to offer Ming Yue a different perspective.
"You can't possibly be Yue Zan's daughter," Ji Shiyou stated with certainty to Ming Yue on the phone.
"Why? I've even wondered if the 'Yue' in my name is a homophone for Yue Zan," Ming Yue asked immediately, her heart in turmoil.
If she were Ming Yanan and Yue Zan's daughter, wasn't she now breaking up a loving couple by trying to prevent them from being together? Back then, Yue Zan and her mother must have been in love, and then, unable to resist, they had a forbidden encounter. As a result, Ming Yanan became pregnant with her. Then, for some reason, Yue Zan left or disappeared. So, Ming Yanan wanted to find a father for her child and married the honest He Si. When Yue Zan returned, his former lover was already married. Ming Yanan felt guilty towards He Si and didn't tell Yue Zan the truth. The two could only date in secret to soothe their longing. Ming Yue had already concocted a dramatic story in her mind. For the past two days, although she had been trying to prevent Yue Zan and Ming Yanan from interacting, she still felt conflicted and even guilty.
"You're too close to the situation to see clearly. Have you forgotten our mission here?" Ji Shiyou, through the phone, seemed to see the conflict on Ming Yue's face.
"I haven't forgotten! Aren't I trying my best to separate the two of them?" Ming Yue still couldn't grasp Ji Shiyou's meaning and replied, utterly confused.
"Silly girl, this problem is so serious that even the Heavenly Dao Disk issued a warning. It's not because your father's romantic history has changed. Whether he can be with your mother is not a major issue. It's not significant enough to affect the trajectory of the world's operation, nor could it cause the Heavenly Dao Disk to issue a warning. The key issue is you. You are the critical factor affecting the Heavenly Dao's operation. If you are your mother and Yue Zan's daughter, and we try to prevent them from being together, then we would be altering the course of the world's development. Do you understand? Therefore, you must be your father's biological daughter. In the normal historical timeline, your mother did not cheat. Moreover, judging by your age, you were born in the second year after your father and mother got married. You have nothing to do with Yue Zan, so stop overthinking. However, based on your description, this Yue Zan is indeed quite mysterious. I'll investigate his origins and tell you later."
Ji Shiyou hung up the phone, and Ming Yue suddenly understood. Ji Shiyou was right; she was too caught up in the situation to see clearly. With his explanation, she finally saw the light. Her mood improved considerably. But the next morning, after receiving a call from Ji Shiyou, Ming Yue's heart tensed up again.
Ji Shiyou had gone through a hundred reincarnations and held many identities. Now that he had all his memories from those reincarnations, he also possessed all those skills. In this world, whether it was the security systems of national governments or the intelligence networks of dark forces, all he needed was a computer to access them with ease. He had investigated all night, and the result made him frown. He told Ming Yue on the phone that he had searched all the data in this world, and the result for Yue Zan was that he couldn't find any record of him. However, it wasn't a true case of being untraceable. Yue Zan was like someone who had appeared out of thin air, similar to him and Ming Yue, suddenly appearing in this world. Three days ago, he had obtained student status at Wangjiang University. As for his previous information, where it came from, it was a complete blank, nothing at all. This made Ming Yue and Ji Shiyou extremely vigilant.
"We should arrange for your father and mother to meet as soon as possible," Ji Shiyou's voice was serious.
"How about this? Tomorrow is a day off. I'll arrange with my mom to go shopping for luggage. I've already set the stage, telling her you'll come to help. You bring my dad along and introduce them. Perhaps destined lovers will fall in love at first sight." Ming Yue was tirelessly working for her parents' love.
"Xiao He, do you want to meet a beautiful girl?" Ji Shiyou, sitting on the sofa, tempted He Si, who was mopping the floor.
"No," He Si replied without pausing his mopping, rejecting the idea without a second thought.
"Why? The person I'm introducing to you is my girlfriend's classmate, a very beautiful female university student." He Si's answer surprised Ji Shiyou. Wouldn't any normal young man refuse to meet a beautiful girl?
"I'm poor, I'm not worthy of her," He Si stopped his mopping and gave Ji Shiyou a simple, honest smile.
"You're overthinking it. It's just meeting, making a friend. It's not necessarily about marriage, not even a blind date. Besides, the girl I'm introducing to you is definitely not a gold digger. She likes nice guys and doesn't care if you have money." Ji Shiyou, like a criminal instigating a minor, tried to persuade He Si to agree.
"Brother Ji, I think you're wrong. Approaching a girl with an ulterior motive and not wanting to marry her is like being a scoundrel, it's immoral. You know my situation. Even if she doesn't care, I do. I can't give her a life of comfort and security. That's why I don't want to date or get married. I don't want to make that girl suffer by following me." He Si said this in a quiet but firm voice.
Ji Shiyou looked at his father-in-law and thought, How self-conscious can one be? He's practically a non-believer in marriage. Faced with such a He Si, Ji Shiyou was at a loss for words.
"Alright then? I was just kidding. Actually, my girlfriend needs to buy some things, and I can't carry them all. I thought of tricking you into helping by saying I'd introduce you to a beautiful girl." For an honest person like He Si, once a belief is formed, it's hard to change. Ji Shiyou didn't want to waste time and changed his approach. He had to get He Si to come along tomorrow.
"Brother Ji, if you need help, just say so! I have plenty of strength. What time tomorrow? Just give me a call. We're brothers, I won't refuse." Ji Shiyou chose the right approach. Upon hearing it was to help, He Si immediately agreed.
"Brother Ji, I'm off tomorrow, I'll help too. Is that female university student you mentioned really beautiful?" Tang Yong emerged from his room, his eyes shining.
