“This is Bai Yu’an. Aren’t you at my house? My mother and sister addressed you as Bai Yu’an, right?” The tone of voice on the phone was playful. The child’s voice was similar to Jiang Wei’s, but it sounded much lighter, as though it was chirpier.

‘Bai Yu’an? So these people are confusing me for Bai Yu’an?’ Jiang Wei finally understood. His face turned dark. “What’s going on? Why have I been mistaken for you and brought here? Also, where are you?”

“I’m at your house, Jiang Wei. Just so you know, we look exactly the same, and that’s why we were mistaken for each other. We’re twins!”

“Huh? We’re twins?!” Jiang Wei was shocked by Bai Yu’an’s words as he stood by the television cabinet with a confused look on his face.

Bai Yu’an sounded helpless. “Yes, I was going to look for your father today because he’s constantly harassing my mother. But when I got there, I realized that they had mistaken me for you. Even your father didn’t realize it. That’s why I think we’re twins, Jiang Wei.”

“Twins, huh?” Jiang Wei subconsciously repeated himself.

“Yes, think about it. After you were brought back to my house, my mother and Bai Yuning also thought you were me. This means that we look exactly the same, and twins look alike. Do you see where I’m going with this?”

Jiang Wei pondered for a long while and finally agreed with Bai Yu’an’s explanation. However, when Jiang Wei looked at the people in the kitchen and thought of the junk food that he had eaten for the first time just now, his face immediately turned dark again. “If we are twins, then why did she want you and not me? Father also told me that my mother died five years ago.”

“What?” It seems that it was Bai Yu’an’s turn to be confused on the other end of the phone call. ‘Is he talking about my mother? Is Jiang Wei blaming my mother for not wanting him and saying that my mother is supposed to be dead?’

Bai Yu’an was unhappy when he thought of this. “You believe that? That man must be lying. My mother said that my father drowned at sea. What did your father say about your mother?”

Jiang Wei remained silent and stood still with a livid expression on his face. “Why do adults lie to people?”

“Jiang Wei, adult matters are very complicated. It seems that we can’t just believe whatever they say. We have to figure out what happened between them, why they decided to split up, and why they separate us as well.” Bai Yu’an finally revealed why he was investigating Jiang Chen.

Jiang Wei heard his plans and agreed. “Then what should we do now?”

Bai Yu’an thought about it carefully and said, “I think we should meet up first. Now that we’ve swapped places, they may inevitably find out about our plan. So we should switch back for now.”

Bai Yu’an was right. The first thing they needed to do now was return to their respective positions. Otherwise, who knew what would happen if their parents were to find out? Su Zhi’en already knew of Jiang Wei’s existence from the current situation. However, that evil man was clueless about the existence of Bai Yu’an and Bai Yuning.

Jiang Wei agreed to this plan.

“Yu’an, come and eat. Mommy has made your favorite braised prawn dish!” Just as the two brothers discussed their plans over the phone, Su Zhi’en’s voice echoed from the kitchen.

When Bai Yu’an overheard this over the phone, his eyes glinted. “Mommy is asking for you. Jiang Wei, if you haven’t gotten along with Mommy yet, you have to pretend to enjoy yourself now. You should also know that Mommy is the best person in the entire world.”

Jiang Wei felt a little annoyed as he harshly hung up the phone with a slam.

“Who was on the phone, Yu’an?” Su Zhi’en asked as she came out of the kitchen with some dishes in her hands.

Jiang Wei had a gloomy smirk on his face as he said, “It was a scam call!”

Su Zhi’en heard this but didn’t care to react. She then brought the rice and the dishes that she cooked over to the dining table. She filled a small bowl with rice and placed it in front of her son. “This is for you, Yu’an. I made your favorite braised prawn dish as well.”

“What about me? You’re so biased, Mommy. What about my favorite chicken drumstick dish?”

“Oh, that’s still in the pot. I forgot all about it.” Su Zhi’en quickly ran over and brought the dish over as she apologized to Bai Yuning with a smile on her face. “Sorry, there’s been a lot going on lately.”

Fortunately, Bai Yuning wasn’t angry after she ate.

The rental apartment was not nearly as luxurious as Fu Mansion, but the atmosphere was much better. Everyone was happily sharing a meal around the small dining table. This was the kind of warmth and happiness that Fu Mansion lacked.

Jiang Wei finally lowered his head and was about to pick up his chopsticks to eat, but when he looked at the bowl of rice in front of him, he fell silent.

Meanwhile, in Fu Mansion, Bai Yu’an was eating with Jiang Chen. Jiang Chen had personally cooked the food. However, while the father and son were eating, a person suddenly arrived at the entrance of Fu Mansion.

“Master Jiang, Miss Tong came by with some autumn pear syrup for Young Master Jiang. The syrup that Young Master Jiang was drinking before this has already run out, so Miss Tong made some more and brought it over.”

‘Who is this, Miss Tong? She even makes autumn pear syrup, especially for Jiang Wei?’

Bai Yu’an raised his head curiously and looked at the evil man before him. He noticed that when Jiang Chen heard that this woman had come to the Mansion, the evil man’s handsome face immediately turned dark.

“Who allowed her to come here? Tell her that Jiang Wei doesn’t need the autumn pear syrup!”

“But, Master Jiang, Miss Tong is the only person that makes the best autumn pear syrup. Young Master Jiang always starts coughing during the winter. The syrup is necessary for Young Master Jiang. Whenever Young Master Jiang drinks it, he feels much better.. Have you forgotten, Master Jiang?”
