Chapter 248: Chapter 248: Find Her Weakness

Xi Wanfen returned home, but she didn’t mention anything about this matter to her parents.

That night, Xi Huarong was busy and might come back late, and she was so tired when she got home that she fell asleep immediately.

She had always been carefree; although her elder sister seemed pitiful during dinner, Xi Wanfen thought her sister was strong-willed and nothing could knock her down. Even if she faced setbacks, she believed her sister could quickly stand back up, so she didn’t bother worrying.

Xi Wanlin had been waiting at home for news.

She had imagined that upon Xi Wanfen’s return, she would have told their parents about crying during lunch.

Perhaps her parents would remember their past fondness and see her, or say some comforting words.

However, nothing happened.

She had another sleepless night.

…

The next evening, Xi Wanlin went to the Military District.

She had frequented this place before, and since the guards had her records and heard she was visiting Commander Bao, they let her in.

Xi Wanlin was there to see Bao Min.

On her way to Bao Min’s house, she passed by Su Meixi’s house.

The lights were on at Su Meixi’s house; someone must have been home.

At that moment, standing in front of Su Meixi’s door, Xi Wanlin’s heart was filled with jealousy.

She felt like a discarded burden, while Su Meixi was ascending like Cinderella.

She didn’t dare stay any longer, fearing she might be discovered.

When Xi Wanlin showed up at the Bao Family home, Aunt Bao was surprised, “Linlin, what brings you here?”

“I’m here to see Xiao Min; we had arranged to meet,” Xi Wanlin replied with a smile.

Fortunately, her status as an adopted daughter hadn’t been revealed yet. If everyone knew, she would no longer be welcomed.

Thinking about this, Xi Wanlin felt a pang of sadness, feeling that people these days were opportunistic, and no one cared about her as a fake heiress.

Hearing the noise downstairs, Bao Min quickly ran down.

“Sister Linlin!” Bao Min had always tried to butter up Xi Wanlin, who in turn had little regard for her, but her initiating the visit today was quite unexpected.

Xi Wanlin gave her a smile, “Xiao Min, do you have some time? I’d like to chat with you.”

The two sat in Bao Min’s room, with two bottles of Yuan Qi Forest beside the table freshly taken out from the fridge, though neither touched them.

Bao Min was uneasy, unsure of the real purpose behind the visit of this heiress.

It took Xi Wanlin a while to bring up Su Meixi.

“I heard you visited the countryside recently?” Xi Wanlin asked.

“Yes, I offended someone I shouldn’t have,” Bao Min smiled bitterly, “I was foolish, her husband is a battalion commander, why would I offend her? Thankfully, your father intervened at the right time to stop me from making further mistakes, and then, I was sent back to the countryside by my Uncle.”

Xi Wanlin also gave a bitter smile.

If not for Bao Min, how could her father and Su Meixi have met so quickly?

Xi Wanlin said, “The person you mentioned, I’ve met her, and she is indeed a bit… annoying.”

Bao Min’s eyes lit up, finally having found an ally, “You dislike her too?”

“She clings to my sister every day, and now my sister doesn’t like me anymore; she only likes her.”

“That’s too hateful, isn’t it? Who does she think she is? A fairy that everyone must adore?”

The women in the compound like her, Gu Wei likes her, why must she steal someone else’s sister?

Xi Wanlin self-mockingly said, “She disguises herself well; no one can unveil her true face. I’m afraid that in time, she might even steal my parents away.”

“How can that be possible?” Bao Min’s sympathy and righteousness were stirred. She slammed the table, “We can’t let her continue like this! You don’t know, I used to live well here in the compound, respected by everyone, but ever since she arrived, I’ve been having endless troubles, so this Su Meixi is definitely not a good person.”

Finally, Xi Wanlin opened the Yuan Qi Forest bottle, took a despondent sip, and said, “But what can we do? We can’t unveil her true face since I’m not familiar with her, and it’s hard to even see her.”

Bao Min promptly volunteered, “What if I do it? I see her often in the compound.”

Hearing Bao Min had taken the bait, Xi Wanlin was relieved that her lengthy conversation hadn’t been in vain, and nodded, “So, we’re on the same side now.”

“Indeed,” Bao Min replied, “but if I mess up, you, as the mademoiselle, will have to cover for me, otherwise I’m afraid I might be sent back to the countryside again.”

Xi Wanlin smiled, “No problem, just do what you think is right, expose Su Meixi’s true façade, and reveal it to everyone. I believe that even the most flawless person has weaknesses.”

“Okay.” Bao Min also opened her bottle of Yuan Qi Forest and clinked it with Xi Wanlin.

…

Perhaps after meeting Gu Wei and experiencing many dangers—many of which weren’t caused by Gu Wei—she had developed high vigilance.

Because of this alertness, she often felt someone secretly watching her.

Thus, she would silently observe those around her, identifying anyone suspicious.

Her life was simple, between the hospital and the compound, almost a straight line, occasionally going out for meals with colleagues from her department.

Gradually, she noticed that every time she felt uncomfortable, Bao Min was not far away.

Sometimes when their eyes met, Bao Min would swiftly look away.

One night, when Su Meixi returned from a night shift around 12 AM, Bao Min was sitting on a bench opposite her house.

Upon seeing Su Meixi return, Bao Min turned and left.

Su Meixi felt that this behavior from Bao Min was abnormal and warranted caution.

That day, Bao Min finally came directly to seek out Su Meixi.

Yun City got very cold at night, and Bao Min wore a large coat.

“What do you need?” Su Meixi asked her.

Bao Min wrapped her coat around herself then asked formally, “I came to find out if you’ve been free recently because if so, Fang Xia and Fang Shuai, the siblings, might need to be taken care of by you.”

Su Meixi glanced at Bao Min’s coat, sensing something was amiss.

Besides, Bao Min’s immediate questioning about accepting the siblings felt like she was using them for her agenda.

“I really like Fang Shuai and Fang Xia, and I would like to spend time with them, but I’ve been quite busy with work recently, and doctors’ hours are irregular, I might not make it home in the evenings. I’m afraid I won’t be up for the task,” Su Meixi explained.

Bao Min scoffed.

“It’s just taking care of two kids, they’re big enough and don’t need much of your attention, Mdm. Yan also works, so how can she take the siblings then?”
