ire turned to Charlie and asked, “How is my dad?” She was in tears. Charlie sighed, shrugged, and replied, “Dad has been quite decadenttely, but it’s not due to his performance in cultural exchanges.”


    Surprised, ire inquired, “What do you mean?”


    Charlie casually exined, “It’s because of Aunt Matilda.”


    While ine was unaware that Matilda had returned to Aurous Hill, ire was well aware of it.


    Initially, ine had been imprisoned for stealing Charlie’s money. However, Jacob had rushed to the airport, dressed in suits and leather shoes, to greet Matilda and her son, Paul. Soon after, he invited them to their home for dinner.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    ire could see that her father still held feelings for Aunt Matilda and missed her deeply. This made her angry with Jacob. As time passed and ire learned more about her parents’ past, she chose not to bring it up with her father.


    When she heard Charlie say that her father’s decline was due to Aunt Matilda, she quickly asked, “What’s going on?”


    Charlie rified, “Aunt Matilda is with someone else, someone who is far better than Dad, and he can’t ept that. This has led him to smoke and drink alely.”


    “This…” ire felt torn between happiness and worry.


    As the daughter of Jacob and ine, she didn’t want her father to harbor feelings for another woman.


    Yet, understanding the history between her parents and Aunt Matilda, ire felt a pang of sympathy for her father’s emotional turmoil over the years.


    After a moment of contemtion, she said helplessly, “Sometimes, I believe my father and mother aren’t a good match at all, but other times, I feel they are truly meant for each other. I just hope they can find peace and happiness…”

    Meanwhile, in Penang, Mysia, Lin Wan’er (ni) had sessfully obtained aplete set of identity documents under the name Lin Xiaowan, including birth certificates and school records from elementary to high school.


    Creating this set of documents was rtively simple, but synchronizing them with the official records of the Mysian government posed a significant challenge.


    Nevertheless, Qiu Yingshan aplished this with ease.


    To further ensure safety, he had even asked his distant rtives to memorize an entire set of scripts pertaining to Lin Xiaowan. Teachers and principals from every school she attended had also memorized these scripts.


    All the sses and images in Lin Xiaowan’s records were professionally edited to include Lin Wan’er’s name in graduation photos and her likeness in various life and sports event photos, all appearing seamlessly natural without any visible alterations.<fnef69> Th? link to the orig?n of this information r?sts ?n find[?]ovel</fnef69>


    Perhaps the students from these sses might wonder if they had truly forgotten a ssmate.


    However, confidentiality measures were put in ce to prevent those who had attended school with Lin Wan’er (ni) from essing these altered materials, ensuring Lin Xiaowan’s identity remained secure.


    Qiu Yingshan’s ability to execute this n stemmed from his significant social standing in Nanyang and his extensivework. There was virtually nothing he couldn’t achieve.


    Lin Wan’er (ni) had requested this false identity primarily for Charlie’s benefit.


    She knew that upon meeting Charlie, he would likely grow suspicious and investigate her background.


    As long as he found her identity to be wless, this set of documents would serve its purpose.


    After Qiu Yingshan handed Lin Wan’er (ni) the identification documents, he respectfully stated, “Miss, I have already spoken with Aurous Hill University, and they have sent relevant information about the school and its various majors. You can choose any major you like. Once you decide, they will issue an admission letter.”


    Lin Wan’er (ni) nodded lightly and smiled, saying, “Thank you for your hard work. If possible, please arrange a flight for me, as I’d like to leave early tomorrow morning.”


    Qiu Yingshan hesitated for a moment before respectfully saying, “Miss, I have a somewhat selfish request, and I hope you will consider it…”


    Lin Wan’er (ni) smiled and prompted, “Go ahead.”


    Qiu Yingshan bowed and expressed, “I would like to apany you to Aurous Hill. On one hand, I can use my connections there to help you navigate and ease your transition; on the other hand, I’ve been longing to return after all these years. Given our age, this may be ourst opportunity.”


    After a moment of thought, Lin Wan’er (ni) pursed her lips and nodded, “Let’s go together. Sun Zhidong wants to join us too. It will be a great chance for you all to catch up.”


    Qiu Yingshan was overjoyed and quickly replied, “Thank you, Miss Chengcheng! I will make the arrangements right away, and we’ll fly directly from Penang to Aurous Hill tomorrow morning!”
