Li Beinian was at a loss.
Obviously there was a clue lurking somewhere, but she seemed to be missing it. This was the most frustrating feeling.
Flustered, Li Beinian threw her cell phone aside.
The phone bounced off the soft blanket and landed firmly on the pillow.
She had already folded up the blanket on the bed. It was sitting there neatly like a piece of tofu.
The couple’s double pillow was also piled in the corner.
Li Beinian stared at her bed and sighed after a long time.
Forget it.
Why torture myself!
Li Beinian put the matter aside and scrolled to the next photograph.
This time, the photograph was a little different.
A portrait of the Lin family?
Father Lin and Mother Lin were seated while Lin Kerou, Lin Yuxin, and Lin Ya stood apart.
The parents looked happy. Lin Kerou wore a slight smile that was demure and graceful, while Lin Yuxin sported a broad grin that revealed her canines, making her look especially sweet and adorable.
Lin Ya, on the other hand, had a barely detectable smile.
He seemed to be looking ahead, but also at her.
His gaze seemed to hold a deeper meaning, but it was also calm and peaceful.
Strange.
Every time Li Beinian saw Lin Ya, she would be gripped with an unexplainable sense of panic.
This feeling was overpowering, almost bringing her back to the time when she was imprisoned and threatened by him.
What Lin Ya wanted so badly… was her identity?
To the point that he had tried to match Lin Kerou’s DNA with Nico’s.
There were similarities obviously, but they weren’t significant.
Li Beinian instinctively thought of herself.
She walked into the bathroom and looked into the mirror.
Then, she picked up her phone and zoomed into the picture of Lin Kerou and Nico.
She looked at the mirror and then at her phone.
As Li Beinian studied the photograph, she realized that she actually resembled the man a little.
Nico’s eyebrows were a little thick, making him look rather sharp and serious.
On the other hand, Li Beinian’s eyebrows were naturally thin. Later in life, Li Beinian only shaped them slightly and did not do much to them.
As for the rest…
There was no similarity in their noses.
Nico’s nose was very straight and tall – a typical Westerner’s nose with a distinct profile.
On the other hand, Li Beinian’s nose was rounder, pale and petite. Although it was taller than most girls’, it was by far more exquisite than Nico’s.
But those eyes… they were almost identical!
Li Beinian studied them carefully, and somehow it was as though these eyes were made out of the same mold.
Besides that, there was also her mouth.
Li Beinian had dainty but full lips.
With a thin upper lip and ample lower lip, they were lusciously red and very alluring.
Nico’s lips were pursed in the photo, but their fullness was evident.
The more Li Beinian looked at them, the more she felt that they looked alike.
Immediately, she thought of Bei Xiaonian.
Bei Xiaonian’s photo was in Mu Xichen’s study.
Li Beinian strode out of the room.
On entering the study, she headed straight for the left drawer and opened it.
There was a large white envelope in it. Li Beinian took it out and tilted it so that the stack of photos of Bei Xiaonian slid out.
Bei Xiaonian stood next to Beiyun with a bright smile on her face.
Her fair and oval face looked especially sweet.
Her eyes were a beautiful amber under the brilliant sun.
It was a beautiful color.
Li Beinian sighed, and then immediately, sucked in her breath sharply.
At once, there seemed to be an answer.
