Painting was her life’s pursuit, and no one could destroy it.

To gain a firm foothold in the Sheng Family, she spared no effort to acquire more resources and improve her painting skills.

The Sheng Family always favored males over females, and since her mother was not the principal wife and there was no support from her mother’s family, even with a graduate degree certificate from the Starman Federal Emperor Art Academy, she still couldn’t receive treatment equal to her brothers.

Occasionally, at Sheng family banquets, Old Master Sheng would only casually praise her painting as “not bad,” without offering any substantial resources.

Under her mother’s guidance, Sheng Yunyi had learned from an early age how to win sympathy and pity by capitalizing on other people’s empathy, all to secure the greatest benefit for herself.

And she had succeeded.

Among her generation of Jiang Circle’s youth, seventy percent looked up to her.

But that wasn’t enough; she wanted more—to firmly establish herself in Jiangcheng and then move to Yunjing, to join a larger platform.

“No, Hechen, I still won’t call the police,” Sheng Yunyi said through her tears, her voice lower, “After all, Miss Ye is your friend, and she’s been with you for so long. I don’t want to put you in a difficult position.”

“No, Brother Hechen, we must call the police!” Without waiting for Zhou Hechen to respond, Fang Qingya spoke in a cold voice, “If you don’t want Yunyi to be involved, then I’ll do it. I have no relationship with Ye Wanlan, but I absolutely will not allow her to harm Yunyi.”

Fang Qinghan frowned, “Qingya, you—”

Fang Qingya had already dialed the emergency number, “Hello, I would like to report a crime. Ye Wanlan destroyed a painting of my friend’s worth millions. I have surveillance footage as evidence.”

Damage to public or private property amounting to five thousand was enough to file a case, let alone a number as large as millions.

The police responsibly took down Fang Qingya’s phone number, name, and ID number, asking her for specifics and making a written record.

If the existing evidence could prove the suspect’s criminal actions were true, they would immediately file a case.

“Yunyi, don’t worry, Ye Wanlan won’t get away,” Fang Qingya hung up the phone, “Last time you kindly didn’t press charges against her, we can’t be soft-hearted this time.”

“Sorry, Qingya, I’ve caused you trouble again,” Sheng Yunyi said, feeling guilty.

“It’s not trouble at all, we’re good sisters, and it’s right for me to help you,” Fang Qingya was quite upset, “This time she may not have harmed you, but that painting you worked on for a month—how can you compensate for your lost effort?”

Recently, Zhou Hechen’s long-suppressed anger toward Ye Wanlan had reached a peak.

How dare Ye Wanlan destroy Sheng Yunyi’s painting!

At this moment, Xu Li added fuel to the fire, “Brother Hechen, didn’t I say last time that I saw her buying a lot of painting supplies at the store by the academy’s gate? She must have been planning to destroy Yunyi’s painting and then take her place.”

“She? Painting?” Fang Qingya was as if she had heard the world’s biggest joke, “Trying to mimic, is she?”

“Yunyi, don’t cry anymore.” Zhou Hechen bent down, wiped the tears from Sheng Yunyi’s face with a tissue, and softly said, “You will have justice.”

Sheng Yunyi softly acknowledged, then quickly lowered her head again.

“Yunyi, I’ll go to the station to sign the confirmation. You wait here in peace,” Fang Qingya grabbed her bag and hurriedly left.

In the city center, Wangjiangnan Chinese restaurant.

“Ah Lan, eat more fish to nourish your brain,” Lin Huaijin used the public chopsticks to serve Ye Wanlan a delicious piece of fish, “And Wenli, you eat more beef. You’re growing, you need to consume more protein.”

Lin Wenli bit a piece of beef expressionlessly, “He’s saying you’re stupid.”

Ye Wanlan had just finished her fish and smiled, “Uncle?”

“Talking nonsense, so much meat and still can’t fill your mouth!” Lin Huaijin glared at Lin Wenli, “Ah Lan, don’t listen to him. I mean you’re too busy, your brain is overworked, it needs nourishment.”

The boy was quite devious, sullying his reputation as an uncle.

Khor Peiqing shook her head, silently watching the three bicker.

The midday sun fell on the glass, passing through the branches, casting mottled shadows, peaceful and beautiful.

The sudden ringtone of a mobile phone shattered the harmonious dining atmosphere.

Ye Wanlan pressed the answer button.

“Is this Miss Ye?” came the female officer’s warm voice on the other end, “We’ve received a report that you’re involved in a painting destruction incident.”

“A destroyed painting?”

“The owner of the painting is Miss Yunyi, valued in the millions, and surveillance did indeed capture your figure. We need to inquire routinely to understand the truth.”

Ye Wanlan’s expression unchanged, “Fine, I understand. I’ll come over now.”

When she stood up, Lin Huaijin furrowed his brows, “Ah Lan, what’s the matter?”

“Nothing serious, someone’s fallen into their own trap,” Ye Wanlan briefly explained, “Uncle, don’t worry about it. I’ll be back for dinner tonight.”

“How could I not worry?” Lin Huaijin immediately stood, anxious, “If you go alone, you’ll be bullied. It’s clear they are purposefully framing you!”

Ye Wanlan’s presence at the academy was for psychological counseling; what did it have to do with any painting?

Half a month had passed, and he had come to believe that she had entirely turned over a new leaf.

“Bullied?” Ye Wanlan turned her head, smiling faintly, “Uncle, it’s better if you don’t come with me. If you’re there, I can’t make a move.”

“What?” Lin Huaijin stood frozen in place.

Ye Wanlan had already pushed open the restaurant door and left, hailing a taxi.

“Peiqing, I cannot sit idly by with this matter,” Lin Huaijin was extremely frustrated, “Last time, Zhou Hechen’s secretary talked nonsense right in front of you, and now, to force Ah Lan back, they’ve resorted to such lowly tactics!”

He could not understand Zhou Hechen’s actions.

With the original back, why still need a stand-in?

Khor Peiqing furrowed her brows tightly, “I’m afraid things are not that simple. You go follow them, and I’ll contact Mom and fourth sister.”

“Okay, let’s do that.” Lin Huaijin nodded and put on his coat.

“Dad, Mom.” Lin Wenli, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke, “I really advise you not to go. Last time she came to pick me up from school, she was blocked by five bodyguards from the Qin Family. A minute later, all those bodyguards were beaten and left with broken limbs.”

Lin Huaijin exclaimed in shock, “What?”

Was this his adorable, fragile, and obedient niece?

Definitely not.

He must have heard wrong.

Khor Peiqing was also taken aback, recalling Ye Wanlan’s poised demeanor when confronted by Madam Qin.

Perhaps, she did not need anyone’s protection at all.

“Don’t end up going there and becoming hostages that the opposition can use to threaten her,” Lin Wenli said in a light tone, “She said she will come back for dinner tonight, so she will.”

Lin Huaijin hesitated at these words; he was unsettled whether to stay or go.

“Huaijin, Wenli is right; our presence might actually cause trouble,” Khor Peiqing said. “Here’s what we’ll do: you call her every half hour to make sure she’s safe.”

“Alright.” Lin Huaijin nodded. “We’ll go back to the old house first to inform Mom about the situation. If something really happens, only she can protect her.”

Lin Weilan had left the main Yunjing family when she got married and settled in Jiangcheng, where she developed quite a few of her own businesses.

Over the years, she never once returned to Yunjing, and nobody knew why she had been expelled from the main family.

Because in terms of her ability to play the piano, Lin Weilan could be considered exceptionally exquisite.

So, Lin Huaijin always had this incredible premonition since he was a child, that Lin Weilan was definitely not as ordinary as she seemed on the surface – she had to possess some powerful ability.

Khor Peiqing called a waiter to pack the rest of the food, and the family of three drove again towards Lin Family Old House.

Twenty minutes later, Ye Wanlan arrived at the location the policewoman had given her—

Rose Garden Residence.

She was familiar with this villa complex; when the Transcendent Woman possessed her body, she had been here more than once with Zhou Hechen.

However, the Transcendent Woman could never manage to spend the night here, despite all her scheming.

The villa’s front gate was open, and two police officers stood inside the living room, continuing their questioning of Fang Qingya.

Ye Wanlan walked in slowly.

“…”

All noises hushed.

The girl was wearing a light national-style shirt embroidered with silhouettes of traditional flowers and birds, adorned with tourmaline pearl buttons, paired with a linen midi skirt, its black and gold patterns shining like fallen luxury under the sunlight.

She also wore a pair of Baroque pearl earrings and a jade bracelet.

However, her beauty was so striking that upon the first glance, everyone’s attention was drawn to her face, completely overlooking her attire and accessories.

Fang Qingye paused his smoking, raising an eyebrow, “Xu Li, was she ever this beautiful before? I don’t remember at all.”

His relationship with Zhou Hechen was merely ordinary, and his greatest impression of Ye Wanlan was as Zhou Hechen’s sidekick, the stand-in.

But now…

Fang Qingye glanced at Sheng Yunyi, whose face was streaked with tears, and then back at Ye Wanlan.

Was this a stand-in?

He began to doubt Zhou Hechen’s judgment.

“Qingye!” Xu Li nudged his arm and nodded towards Sheng Yunyi.

Seeing that Sheng Yunyi looked as if she was about to cry again, Fang Qingye clicked his tongue, “Alright, alright, I was just talking nonsense.”

He did not like Sheng Yunyi.

In contrast, he was more inclined towards Qin Zhi from the Qin Family and the mysterious girl who raced with him, the one with enough aggression and guts.

Ye Wanlan ignored everyone else and gave a polite nod, “Officer uncle, officer auntie, I’ll cooperate with the investigation.”

The male officer was disgruntled and murmured, “We’re the same age, why am I the uncle…”

“Don’t worry, it’s just a routine questioning,” the policewoman reassured, “As long as it has nothing to do with you, you’ll be able to leave soon.”

“I understand, thank you, officer auntie,” Ye Wanlan responded calmly. Finally, she looked up at the people in the room, “Who called the police?”

Sheng Yunyi bit her lip, just about to speak: “I…”

“It was me, what about it? Why are you being rude to Yunyi?” Fang Qingya stood in front of Sheng Yunyi, watching Ye Wanlan coldly, “Do you dare to deny it? Do you dare to say you didn’t tamper with this painting? Do you dare to say you didn’t do it out of jealousy towards Yunyi?”

“Okay.” Ye Wanlan slowly nodded, “Next, you will learn what happens when you make a false police report.”
