Lan Yuxi originally wanted to tell her other brothers about this news, but after being tossed around by Nan Xiao, she forgot everything and almost couldn't get out of bed the next day.
Nan Xiao was not spared on the way to send her to the academy. He only opened the car door for her after she calmed down.
"Do you want me to carry you in?"
Lan Yuxi pouted. With a glance, she saw a Rolls-Royce Phantom driving over and quickly got out of the car.
"Second brother is here, you can go now."
Nan Xiao stood still, staring at her.
Lan Yuxi blinked. "What's wrong?"
Nan Xiao said aggrievedly, "You don't want me anymore now that you have your brothers."
Lan Yuxi was so amused that she burst out laughing. She stood on tiptoe and quickly kissed him on the corner of his mouth. "Bye-bye."
Lan Yuxi was about to leave, but Nan Xiao pulled her back and kissed her deeply.
Lan Yuxi glimpsed Lan Musi's car entering the courtyard through her peripheral vision and quickly patted Nan Xiao's back.
Nan Xiao reluctantly pulled away from her lips.
Lan Yuxi pouted. "Second brother clearly saw me, but he ignored me and drove straight in."
Nan Xiao chuckled. "You ruined his good deed, he's probably too embarrassed to see you."
"I don't know who he found. What if she has some illness?"
"He's studying medicine himself, he'll be fine. Let's go in."
Lan Yuxi tidied his tie for him. "You go first."
"You go first, I'll watch you go in," Nan Xiao doted on her, stroking her head. "I'll pick you up tonight."
"Mm," Lan Yuxi waved her hand and walked in quickly.
Lan Yuxi did not see Lan Musi in the office. She frowned and called him.
This time, Lan Musi answered the phone quite quickly. "I'm in the classroom, I've already started preparing for the lesson."
Lan Yuxi raised an eyebrow slightly. "Class doesn't start for another five minutes, you're starting that early?"
"Today's class is very important, either start early or extend the class time."
"Then you can extend the five minutes at the beginning by eighteen hours. Goodbye!"
After Lan Yuxi finished speaking, she hung up the phone angrily. Don't think she couldn't see that Old Second Lan was deliberately avoiding her.
Lan Yuxi put down the phone, dialed Luo Shiyi's number, clarified the hotel's name, and then called Ying.
Five minutes later, she entered the classroom just in time.
Ling Chen, sitting in the front row, stared at her intently.
Lan Yuxi was used to his gaze. After meeting his eyes, she opened her laptop.
After the class ended, Ying called her right on time.
Lan Yuxi frowned slightly after listening. "This is a tough opponent. Send it over, I'll try."
As Lan Yuxi was opening her laptop, Lan Musi pushed open the door and walked in.
Lan Yuxi glanced at him sideways and raised her small hand, typing rapidly on the keyboard.
"What are you busy with?" Lan Musi leaned over.
"You wouldn't understand even if I told you," Lan Yuxi said impatiently, pushing the computer aside and turning her head to look at him. "What exactly happened last night?"
Lan Musi gave a dry laugh. "Nothing, really."
Lan Yuxi was so angry she kicked him. "Tell me the truth! You might have run into trouble."
Lan Musi was slightly stunned. "How is that possible..."
Lan Yuxi pulled the computer over, pointed to the dark channel on the screen, and said angrily, "Look yourself, the surveillance was deleted so thoroughly. Can she be an ordinary person!"
Lan Musi awkwardly touched his nose. "Uh, she came in by herself, and she seemed to have had quite a lot to drink. She was the one who initiated it, I..."
Lan Yuxi waved her hand with disgust. "Go away, don't disturb my work."
Lan Musi obediently took a step back.
Lan Yuxi ignored him and continued to type rapidly on the computer. After a full thirty minutes, her furrowed brows gradually relaxed.
When the progress bar reached one hundred, the hotel corridor appeared on the screen.
Lan Yuxi reached out and pulled Lan Musi over. "Look yourself, she wasn't drunk at all, she was clearly tricked."
Lan Musi's brows were tightly furrowed as he stared intently at the two girls on the screen.
The slightly shorter girl pushed open a room door and helped the somewhat dazed girl in the smog-colored suit inside.
Thirty seconds later, the shorter girl exited the room, closed the door, walked a few steps, then quickly returned and locked the door.
Lan Yuxi took screenshots of the two girls, processed them in high definition, and sent them out.
"After it was over, what did you say to her?" Lan Yuxi asked, looking back at Lan Musi standing behind her after finishing her work.
"I didn't say anything. She was long gone when I woke up. If I hadn't seen that... I would have thought I was dreaming."
Lan Yuxi enlarged the face of the girl in the smog-colored outfit. "Looking at this face, do you still think you were dreaming?"
Lan Musi's face instantly turned red to his ears.
Lan Yuxi shook her head helplessly. "Your self-control is second only to Eldest Brother. If it weren't for this face, even if you were so drunk you didn't recognize your parents, you wouldn't have done this. Second Brother, if you like Zi Xin, then say it! Give her the choice. Whether she chooses you or not, you won't regret it. Why would you look for a substitute, and one who might have a background? What would you do if they came looking for you? Take responsibility or not?"
"Zi Xin loves Eldest Brother," Lan Musi's eyes darkened. "Help me find this girl. She doesn't need to find me, I will take responsibility."
Lan Yuxi raised her eyebrows slightly. "Zi Xin loves Eldest Brother, what about Eldest Brother? Does he love Zi Xin?"
Lan Musi gave a bitter smile. "Eldest Brother's thoughts are not something we can understand. Every time I see Zi Xin in pain, I wish I could confess for her to Eldest Brother, but I'm afraid I'll get beaten if I say it."
Lan Yuxi tapped the table lightly. "Are you sure you want to take responsibility for that girl?"
"Mm. If she's willing to be with me, I'll marry her. If she's not willing, I'll give her substantial compensation."
"This matter might not be so simple. Let me investigate thoroughly first," Lan Yuxi paused, then sent the screenshot to her phone and then to Nan Xiao and Nan Xiangdong.
She had been away from Kyoto for four years and didn't know as many people as they did. She hoped they could recognize this young lady.
Nan Xiao quickly called back. "Why are you suddenly sending me a picture of a girl?"
Lan Yuxi's heart sank by half. "Take a good look, do you recognize the girl in the photo?"
Nan Xiao looked closely. "No impression... Hey? This girl looks so much like Zi Xin?"
Lan Yuxi pouted. Seeing a message notification on her phone, she quickly tapped it.
