Chapter 535: Chapter 535: The Impostor Chapter 535: Chapter 535: The Impostor Jin Jing hadn’t expected that he would find out, feeling a bit nervous and unsure of how to respond to him. She only heard Yuan Weicheng release her, then say, “I’ll come to find you later, you better have a reasonable explanation for me.”
After he finished speaking, he deftly chased after that person.
Watching the departing figure, Jin Jing felt an intense wave of irritation. She didn’t know how to explain it to him and hadn’t anticipated their chance encounter like this.
With her head aching, she couldn’t focus on how to speak when they met again, her emotions complicated as she turned and entered the factory.
As it turned out, she was the real Jin Jing, and it was her sister Jin Li who had gone home with Yuan Weicheng.
She and her twin, Jin Li, were identical in both figure and appearance. The only difference was the plum blossom mark behind her right ear, which Jin Li didn’t have. Those familiar with them could tell them apart by their personalities.
Both sisters studied medicine. After Jin Jing graduated, she was retained at the military hospital, while Jin Li only got a job at the Machine Tool Factory Staff Hospital through family connections. By chance, Jin Jing and Yuan Weicheng met, and after a few encounters, they developed a mutual affection.
However, some days ago, her sister Jin Li called her back home and confessed that she had also fallen for Yuan Weicheng, pleading with her to step aside. Their family was shocked, never expecting Jin Li to do such a thing.
Enraged, Jin Jing turned to leave, but Jin Li behind her brandished a pair of scissors threateningly, proclaiming that if Jin Jing didn’t agree, she would witness her own death. Initially thinking her sister was merely intimidating her, Jin Jing stepped outside only to hear screams from the house.
Turning around, she saw Jin Li’s neck was already bleeding. She was so scared that she had no choice but to return.
Her parents were terrified to death, fearing Jin Li would do something foolish, and begged Jin Jing to agree.
In that situation, she had no choice but to agree, and to her further surprise, Jin Li proposed they swap identities. Shocked, Jin Jing wanted to slap her, but seeing her hesitate, Jin Li drove the scissors in deeper.
All the people in the house were horrified, her parents nearly kneeling to plead with her. With no other options, she agreed to Jin Li’s request and from that day, she lost her family, seldom returning home since then.
But it was such a coincidence, fate made them meet again.

The director frowned as he watched the fleeing Jin Jing, saying to the colleagues beside him, “Have you noticed that Doctor Jin has been acting a bit off lately?”
One of the doctors replied, “Indeed, she’s been strange these past few days, it feels like her personality has changed and even her professional competence seems to have diminished.”
With a thoughtful look, the director said to the people around him, “When you see her, tell her to come to my office.”
As for Jin Li, who had run out, she was also regretting switching identities with her sister. Being a surgeon in the military hospital wasn’t the same as in the staff hospital – she couldn’t keep ducking out of surgeries by claiming she felt unwell.
But she lacked her sister’s professional competence and struggled with larger operations. Now she was starting to fear coming to work, and today she was scolded by a family member.
She also thought about how, since that day at his home, Yuan Weicheng had been cool towards her. Could he have discovered something? She was incredibly agitated now, having hoped to quickly resolve this, but now she couldn’t even see him.
She pondered that the next time she saw him, if all else failed, she might have to force the issue to a point of no return. Even if discovered later, as long as he still cared for his future, he would have to acknowledge it.

Luo Qiao had taken Stone around Capital City these last few days, delighting the little one.
The learning capacity of a child is truly boundless. During these days in the alley, he’d made a lot of new friends, even picking up the local accent. He also got along well with their family, and she believed it wouldn’t take long for Stone to assimilate into this city.
Today, Luo Qiao let Stone go play with his new friends, while she headed out alone. The weather had been gloomy these past few days, with the threat of snow. She planned to visit her master and his wife, and take the opportunity to deliver some New Year’s goods to them.
