Lan Ling-Er was surprised and asked instead, “How did you know?”
“Is she called Lady White Tea?”
“That’s right!” Lan Ling-Er had only gotten to know that she had an aunt last time in Lstan.
“Can you tell me what Lady White Tea is like?”
Jing Xi pretended not to be excited. But her instinct was telling her that she could get something solid from Lan Ling-Er.
Lan Ling-Er laughed. She sipped on her tea and said, “You know her. You’ve met before.”
“What?”
Jing Xi was stunned. How could she know Lady White Tea? How could they have met? When was that?
“Jing Xi, let me tell you. My aunt is indeed called Lady White Tea. But her real name is Yun Xuerou, the former Mrs. President. But she is a wanted now. Please don’t tell anyone else!”
Hearing the answer Jing Xi was thrilled.
Lady White Tea was Yun Xuerou?
Yun Xuerou was Lady White Tea?
Oh my…
What had she missed?
She tried to recall Yun Xuerou’s cunning face and what had happened previously.
And how Lady White Tea had plotted with Mo Xie, as well as her relation with Lan Ling-Er.
Lan Ling-Er was Mo Xie’s daughter and her mother was Lady White Tea’s sister. No wonder they formed an alliance.
Lady White Tea was Yun Xuerou’s hidden identity. She did whatever she could to marry her father, Helian Wei. No wonder she had hated her mother, Jing Ruyue, so much.
Things started making sense now! They were all related!
And now Jing Xi had a few further questions.
So if Yun Xuerou was Lady White Tea, then who was the Queen of the Northland that wore the Hera’s Tear?
Could that be another hidden identity of Lady White Tea?
And if Yun Xuerou was Lady White Tea, then where was the child she’d bought now?
“Jing Xi, Jing Xi… Are you alright?”
Lan Ling-Er got Jing Xi back from her contemplating. Jing Xi shook her head and told Lan Ling-Er, “Nothing. Finish your breakfast and go home now. I’ll let you know before departure.”
“Great.”
When Lan Ling-Er left, Jing Xi came back to Yunjing Villa.
She was in a good mood because she was finally getting close.
Now that she knew Yun Xuerou was Lady White Tea, as long as she could find her, she would be able to uncover the truth.
She believed that she would find her own brother in no time.
But Jing Xi would not tell anyone before she got further clues about her brother. She was particularly not telling her parents because she wanted to give them a surprise.
She only told Huo Yunshen and he was also stunned.
So the person they had been searching for had always been around them. They had just failed to recognize her.
Knowing that Lady White Tea was Yun Xuerou, they had a much clearer target now. As long as they could catch her, they would find Jing Xi’s brother.
…
On the following weekend, Jing Xi took Ying Bao to the presidential palace to visit Huangpu Xuanye.
He had almost recovered. But his father’s death and what happened in the Northland was a blow to him.
He was a loner, and now even more wordless.
Ying Bao heard that Huangpu Xuanye’s room was right there. She let go of her mother and ran to knock at the door.
Not getting any response, Ying Bao opened the door and popped her little head inside. “Uncle Prince?”
