“What’s he doing?” Mingmei, not understanding the man's actions, asked the other man present.

However, it was obvious that Julian, the other man present, also didn't understand what he was getting at.

"He did the same thing when he went out this morning," Julian said, taking a deep breath and relaying what he knew. After speaking, he turned to Mingmei with a helpless look that said, "You understand, right?"

Mingmei: =. =

No, she really didn't understand.

"Ahem!"

Perhaps realizing he had spaced out, Zhen Hu came back to his senses and saw the two silently staring at each other. He immediately coughed awkwardly and said, "Lillian is the gentle type of woman. She speaks softly, never gets angry, and is meticulous about housework... She always has a gentle smile on her face."

However, after Zhen Hu finished, Mingmei's expression became even more puzzled.

This was completely different from what she had heard.

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with what I said?"

Mingmei's "you've got to be kidding me" expression was so vivid that everyone else became even more confused.

"According to the information I gathered... Mrs. Lillian is a very strong and ambitious woman. Her personality may not be terrible, but she's definitely the aggressive type, and her career is thriving."

Zhen Hu: "Ah 0.0?"

Even Julian was dumbfounded. They lived across the hall from each other. Aside from Mona bringing over some cookies Lillian had baked once, they had also received food from Lillian several times before.

Although Julian hadn't eaten any, he could tell from the aroma that her cooking skills were excellent.

Even Hu Yue had praised her cooking skills, so his impression was similar to Zhen Hu's: she was a gentle and kind housewife.

Although Hu Yue had told him before going offline that Lillian was different from other NPCs, he couldn't directly contact her due to his character's identity.

His original plan was to wait until Lu Xiaoyao was on vacation next week and have her try to probe Lillian with him.

He didn't expect that, aside from direct contact, Mingmei could get so much information from outside.

"Are you sure you didn't get the wrong information?"

"I went to the place where Mona and the others used to live and asked around. Some of the people who used to be close to Mona and the others really don't remember Lillian and them, just like you guys.

But a little further away, some people who had contact but weren't particularly close to them, some of those NPCs were gossip lovers by nature. After asking a few more, I found that some of them really had some impressions of Lillian."

As Mingmei spoke, she recalled what the convenience store owner had said—

"Speaking of which, that little girl's mother seems to be a career woman who rarely shows her face. She's only picked up her child a handful of times...

You want to know why I remember so clearly? Hmph, who would be happy to hear someone say that the food and drinks in their store are harmful to their health?

Ah, didn't those lollipop sticker collections used to be popular? I remember that little girl was just about to complete the set when her mother came to pick her up. No matter how much the child cried, she wouldn't budge and just dragged her home...

That little girl cried so hard that day because she couldn't buy it. I heard that she didn't even get any allowance afterward and could only bring the snacks her mother prepared for her..."

At the time, in order to confirm that the person the owner was talking about was Mona's mother, Mingmei visited the houses near Mona's former residence. Although some people's memories had been altered, some had not been completely changed. They didn't remember Mona, but they remembered some things about Lillian clearly.

Passerby A: "Lillian? I remember she seemed to be a career woman... Oh, it seems like she quit her job later?"

Passerby B: "After she quit her job, her personality changed completely. I heard... her husband even abused her!"

Passerby C: "Lillian's personality used to be very decisive. Her husband only made that little bit of money, and she had to support him. That man didn't even dare to fart before. Later... later he beat her, right? Ah, I can't remember clearly!"

Passerby D: "Her husband died later, right? It seems like he was burned to death?"

Mingmei's memories ended. She picked up a few key points, such as Lillian used to be a career woman, but later quit her job to stay home and take care of her children, and was subjected to domestic violence.

"I I I I swear, I didn't hit anyone! That wasn't me!" As soon as he heard the word "domestic violence," Zhen Hu immediately raised his hand to show that he wasn't that kind of person. He didn't want that reputation!

"I wasn't talking about you. I was talking about Lillian's ex-husband. Aren't you and Lillian in a blended family?"

"Oh? Oh! Right, yes, blended!" After Julian's reminder, Zhen Hu also understood that they weren't talking about his character. Then he noticed something was wrong. "That's not right. Lillian and I are in our second marriage... but I don't seem to have any memory of when we got married...

It's even like you said, in my memory, Mona has lived here since she was a child, and Daisy, played by Lu Xiaoyao, has been her childhood friend... That's not right, when did I marry Lillian?"

Seeing that Zhen Hu himself felt something was wrong, Julian's face gradually darkened. If Mingmei's timeline was correct, then Zhen Hu had only married Lillian for about a year. Then it was strange that Zhen Hu remembered being neighbors for many years and the children being childhood friends.

"So, don't you think the character of Lillian is very strange? On the one hand, her personality has changed drastically, and on the other hand, her memory doesn't seem to have changed. She can still remember that she's only been living here for a year... Zhen Hu, if you have a way to indirectly probe her, see if there's anything between her and Mona..."

Mingmei didn't finish her sentence, but suddenly looked up again in one direction. This time, she clearly felt a very strong gaze.

However, there was still nothing in the direction she was looking.

Tsk!

What kind of toxic world is this?

"What is it?"

Seeing that Mingmei didn't say anything else, the two asked again.

"See if they're in cahoots, or if Lillian, this NPC, has gained her own consciousness behind Mona's, the big Boss's, back." At this point, Mingmei couldn't help but curl her lips and said, "If Lillian is really like that, we can also take advantage of it..."

...

Meanwhile, Lillian, who was being talked about by Mingmei, was catching up with Bai Xiao, who had gone out to look for a job.

This catching up left Bai Xiao completely confused.

Who is this woman?.oγg

Why couldn't Bai Xiao find any trace of her in the original owner's memory?

"It's been over a year since we last met, Mrs. Jerry. Why have you become so haggard?"

Sitting in the coffee shop, Bai Xiao only felt that she was out of place in this exquisitely decorated shop.

This was completely inconsistent with her character setting.

A cup of coffee that cost 58 was something she felt she couldn't afford. And this well-dressed and elegant woman in front of her, Bai Xiao spent a long time rummaging through her identity memories, wondering what to call her.

Not a single trace!

"I'm sorry, too much has happened in the past few years, and I've forgotten a lot of things... May I ask who you are?" After hesitating for a long time, Bai Xiao finally asked this question.

"I'm Lillian? I used to live across from your house. Have you forgotten? My ex-husband is your daughter's homeroom teacher."
