Gu Zheng was knocked back a few steps by his beautiful wife. His face was filled with a gentle smile. “Xi Xi, I’m back.”
Qiao Xi had indeed not expected that Gu Zheng would suddenly return. She originally thought that he would fall ill or something, but he was only gone for a while before coming back.
Gu Zheng waved his hand and got Song Shiyu to leave. He asked in a low voice, “You knew… that he wasn’t me?”
Qiao Xi choked slightly. “Of course, I know. You’re different from him.”
Generally speaking, other personalities in one’s body would be different from the original owner, but Gu Zheng’s second personality was a little similar to him. His tone and charm were similar. As the person closest to him, though, Qiao Xi could still tell the difference.
Gu Zheng said slowly, “When I was young, I lived in Maple Garden. It was dark and cold there. I knew that I was poisoned. It was because of the darkness that I lost my eyesight, so I was very afraid of the dark. After that, I lost my memory one time. I forgot that I was poisoned and was no longer afraid of the dark.”
Qiao Xi seemed to understand that the Gu Zheng with another personality was just the same person but with a muddled memory. Because their memories were different, their personalities were different.
One was the strong Gu Zheng who was afraid of the dark, while the other was the emotionless and fearless him. However, they were both him.
Actually, Gu Zheng did not understand why the other personality would suddenly appear and stay for a week. It seemed that he was already used to his body but he still left silently.
The man turned around and went to the study. He took out an old box from a drawer. There was a piece of yellow paper inside. The handwriting on it varied from crooked and clumsy to neat. In the past, the two would talk to each other by doing this.
Gu Zheng was silent for a moment before picking up a pen and writing on the paper.
…
In the Yin family.
Yin Yunyi threw the report on the floor, her eyes filled with unwillingness.
Shi Qinglian was puzzled. “Could she really be Yunlou?”
Yin Yunyi’s expression was gloomy. “That’s impossible. Back then, Yunlou was kind and timid. She was very close to Yunqiu. The two sisters had to sleep together every night and never quarreled. So when Yunlou wanted to leave with her father, Yunqiu cried for a long time.
“After Yunlou left, the two of them contacted each other frequently and called each other almost every day. I don’t believe that a person’s character would suddenly change so drastically. She even turned against her good sister!
“Moreover, Yunlou promised us that she would come back home. Unexpectedly, when we went to pick her up, she suddenly changed her mind and even chased us out.
“Ever since then, she seemed to have changed into a different person. Yunqiu called her many times, but she never picked up the calls. After that, Yunqiu gave up as well and we stopped seeing each other.”
Shi Qinglian said, “Actually… I think it’s strange too. I saw Yunlou when I was young. Although she was young, she was obedient and sensible. She’s like a different person from the current her. Other than her face and her DNA, Yunlou doesn’t look like Yunlou at all.”
Yin Yunyi exuded killing intent. “If she’s not Yunlou, it’s possible for her to fake that face, but how did she fake her DNA as well?”
Shi Qinglian did not understand what was going on either. The Shi family and the Yin family were old friends. After she came of age, she married Yin Yunyi and had a good relationship with the Yin family. She also treated Yunlou as her family. At this moment, she was a little worried. If this Xia Yunlou was fake, where did the real Yunlou go?
Actually, it was not easy to change one’s face. Yunlou was still a child back then. It was unrealistic to have plastic surgery. Moreover, there were no traces of it on Xia Yunlou’s face.
Shi Qinglian was silent for a moment. Then, she became shocked. “Yunyi, do you think it’s possible that someone changed the DNA results? Although the possibility of that is very low—
“There’s another possibility. That person’s face is exactly the same as Yunlou’s, so she occupied Yunlou’s identity.”

Yin Yunyi’s body trembled as if he had been struck by lightning. He frowned. “Don’t spout nonsense about this for now. I’ll get someone to continue watching the Xu family. There might be clues.”
Shi Qinglian nodded and asked, “Then, are you going to interfere in Xu Zhi’s divorce from Xia Yunlou?”
Yin Yunyi replied without hesitation, “That’s the Xu family’s matter. I don’t have to interfere. Since they’re getting a divorce, then let them get a divorce. Otherwise, Xu Anran and Xia Yunlou will always make things difficult for Xi Xi.”

He had a feeling that the truth of what had been troubling the Yin family for so many years was about to be revealed.
