Chapter 347: Looking Exactly Alike

Chapter 347: Chapter 347: Looking Exactly Alike

Ye Sihan stared at Xing Ling for a brief moment before withdrawing his gaze; his eyes grew colder, and the lines of his face were tensely etched.

Xing Ling’s body relaxed and she bit her lip in annoyance.

Why would she check if someone was using their phone? Does she think everyone is like her?

Curiosity killed the cat indeed!

Especially the look in her second brother’s eyes, it felt like he wanted to hit her!

She couldn’t help but put on an aggrieved expression, signaling that it wasn’t intentional...

Xing Yanjie took a deep breath, suppressing his irritation, his mind already contemplating whether to simply not open the branch office at all!

On second thought, how would he explain it to his eldest brother? What reason would he give?

Say that his little sister was accidentally kissed by Ye Sihan?

Xing Yanjie thought of that chaotic scene and felt his nerves twist together.

The organizer, who was actually the founder of the foundation, talked for over half an hour before concluding.

After that, it was time for the reception.

Xing Ling’s stomach was empty as she searched the buffet table for her favorite food.

But before she could take a bite, Xing Yanjie pulled her away.

"Mr. Ye, it’s an honor to meet you."

Ye Sihan was about to leave when he gave the approaching person a cold glance, particularly shooting a sharp look at Xing Ling who was clinging to his arm.

Xing Ling subconsciously pursed her lips, her gaze averted.

"Allow me to introduce myself. My last name is Xing, Xing Yanjie. The incident earlier was due to my girlfriend’s carelessness, I hope Mr. Ye can forgive us." Xing Yanjie said.

Xing Ling had no reaction.

Because it wasn’t the first time she had attended a gathering as the pretend girlfriend of her big or second brother.

Not finding a girlfriend for himself and insisting on using his little sister as a shield was truly impolite.

Ye Sihan’s gaze moved from Xing Ling’s face and looked at Xing Yanjie, "It’s not every day that someone is so open-minded about their girlfriend being kissed by another man."

Honestly, Xing Yanjie felt like hitting someone. After being infuriated to the limit, he laughed lightly and said, "It was an accident; surely Mr. Ye won’t take it to heart, right?"

Ye Sihan’s face remained cold, "There’s no need."

"When Mr. Ye appears at such events, he is always alone, right?" Xing Yanjie made conversation casually. "I thought that a successful person like Mr. Ye would never lack admirers."

Xing Ling subconsciously glanced at her second brother. Why would he bring up such a topic?

On further thought, she realized her second brother was still upset about the kiss!

Looking at Ye Sihan’s face, she could see no reaction. It was impossible to tell what such an inscrutable man was thinking.

The oppressive aura around him added a palpable tension to the atmosphere.

"Indeed, there are many," Ye Sihan said, his eyes on Xing Ling as he spoke.

"...??" Xing Ling thought, Why are you looking at me? What does this have to do with me?

Could it be that the kiss earlier was somehow my own forwardness?

For some reason, she recalled the words "throwing herself at him" that Ye Sihan had said to her at the restroom door that one time.

Xing Yanjie pushed down the annoyance in his heart, "I wonder if there will be another opportunity to have a meal with Mr. Ye?"

"If there’s time," Ye Sihan replied before leaving the reception without further ado.

His tall, noble figure exuded aloofness.

"So frustrating, what does that even mean—is there time or not? Second Brother, did you see? He’s tough to deal with!" Xing Ling said.

"No worries, this is a war of attrition, and patience is something I have plenty of," Xing Yanjie remarked, swirling the champagne in his glass before taking a sip.

Xing Ling thought, does that mean I need to stick around?

But that wouldn’t work, would it? If she went back to the director, as the lead actress she had every reason to return.

On the return journey, Xing Yanjie’s expression remained dark.

It was clear he wasn’t just a little angry.

His tone was especially irate while speaking on the phone with his big brother, Xing Tian.

However, Xing Ling knew that the situation shouldn’t have escalated to this point. It should have gone according to her second brother’s plan, if not for that "accident" with Ye Sihan.

"It certainly made a deep impression on Ye Sihan," Xing Yanjie said, looking toward Xing Ling.

Xing Ling touched her nose, feeling very guilty.

After ending the call, Xing Yanjie angrily looked at his little sister, "Next time you’re this reckless, just stay at home!"

"Big Brother, you didn’t tell our eldest brother, did you?" Xing Ling asked nervously.

"What do you think?" Xing Yanjie replied, clearly irritated.

Xing Ling, with a sly smile, cozied up to him, "You’re the best, Second Brother."

When Ye Sihan returned to the office, he instructed Xiao Yu, who followed him in, "Go investigate Xing Ling."

Xiao Yu was momentarily stunned. It seemed to be another woman’s name?

They had just investigated Wu Qianqian, and now Xing Ling?

Why had Mr. Ye suddenly become interested in two women at once?

He had hoped Mr. Ye would find someone to replace Tang Yu, but he didn’t expect him to look for so many at once!

Seated at his desk, Ye Sihan glanced at him, "Is there a problem?"

"No, it’s just... What does she do? I might have a direction for the investigation," Xiao Yu said.

"Celebrity."

Xiao Yu thought to himself, another celebrity? Interested in two at the same time?

"She’s Xing Yanjie’s girlfriend; she was at the charity event today."

As an executive assistant, Xiao Yu managed to keep his emotions in check, but internally he was still shocked.

He immediately left the office to start investigating Miss Xing Ling.

Actually, Xiao Yu had looked into the charity event before and knew that the Xing family was there too. At that time, however, he only found his name without a mention of a woman accompanying him.

If she’s a celebrity, she should be easy to find.

Ye Sihan, who was sitting in front of his desk, had his thoughts momentarily wander as the events at the charity event flashed through his mind.

He wanted to investigate Xing Ling simply to find out her identity.

Xing Yanjie, Xing Ling, both with the surname Xing, could it be such a coincidence?

Wasn’t it said that the Xing family’s daughter couldn’t be found?

Could she be the one?

Back at the office, Xiao Yu first searched online for the celebrity Xing Ling.

But there were no results.

Xiao Yu frowned. What kind of celebrity was this? Not even a single photo? With his experience, he immediately deduced that Xing Ling was probably not just a simple celebrity.

Otherwise, she would have been too obscure!

Unable to find anything online, Xiao Yu naturally turned to the charity event’s organizers for surveillance footage, requesting specifically for Xing Yanjie and his female companion.

As soon as the organizers heard it was for KING Group, they hurriedly sent it over.

They even edited it, focusing solely on Xing Yanjie and Xing Ling.

Xiao Yu had seen Xing Yanjie’s face during his previous investigations.

But when he saw the woman standing next to him, his brain paused for a moment.

He doubted his eyes were deceiving him.

He zoomed in on Xing Ling’s face.

Xiao Yu’s hand trembled, and the cup next to him dropped to the floor with a crash, shattering, coffee splashing everywhere.

The knock on the door rang out, "Assistant Xiao, are you alright?"

Xiao Yu was still staring at the face on the computer screen, a face he knew all too well.

Because it looked exactly like Tang Yu!

How could there be someone who looked so similar?

Xiao Yu suddenly stood up, wanting to tell Mr. Ye about this.

But just as he reached the door, he stopped.
