Xin Ying quickly replied: [Xin Ying card.]
Lin Leyao: [?]
Xin Ying: [I made it myself at a handmade jewelry shop abroad when I was seventeen. Didn't you notice that the logo on the ring, when put together, forms the Chinese character "辛" (Xin)?]
Lin Leyao immediately took off the ring and looked at the pattern on the inner band. This time, she finally understood what the three patterns meant!

Chapter 50
Christmas falls on a Saturday this year.
With just a few days until the holiday, even in a film and television city filled with various ancient Chinese buildings and a strong traditional flavor, traces of Christmas can still be found.
After Lin Leyao finished filming this scene, she saw that Xiao Mi was holding an apple.
"Sister Leyao, would you like an apple?"
Lin Leyao shook her head, and seeing the words "Merry Christmas" carved on the apple peel, asked in surprise, "Where did this apple come from? Is it Christmas so early?"
Xiaomi said, "I ordered a milk tea delivery. The store was newly opened and they were having a Christmas promotion. They said they'd give away an apple if I ordered milk tea."
Lin Leyao couldn't help but sigh, "This year has gone by so fast. Christmas is already here, and in a few more days the year will be over."
"Yes," Xiaomi said, quite gossipy. "Sister Leyao, is Miss Xin coming over for Christmas?"
Lin Leyao thought of what Xin Ying had said that morning when she returned to the film studio, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up. She smiled and nodded, "Probably."
Xiaomi immediately chuckled, looking completely bewildered: "The New Year will be here soon after Christmas. Are you going to Z City with Miss Xin to celebrate the New Year?"
Reminded by Xiaomi, Lin Leyao remembered that she was going to participate in the New Year's Eve gala of Z City TV on December 31 this year.
The project for this gala was finalized more than half a month ago, and as time went by, she almost forgot about it and forgot to tell Xin Ying.
During a break while waiting for her scene to be filmed, she told Xin Ying about it on her phone.
Xin Ying replied quickly, and the content was exactly as Lin Leyao had expected.
Xin Ying: [I'll come with you.]
Lin Leyao and Xiao Mi finished filming early in the evening, so they went to eat together on the commercial street outside the film studio.
After leaving the hot pot restaurant at 9 p.m., while waiting in the car for Xiaomi to buy milk tea, a familiar figure passed by the car and walked into the distance.
Lin Leyao stared at the figure for a long time, her eyes filled with doubt.
What is she doing at the film studio?
Lin Leyao quickly forgot about this little incident, and the next day's life on set was as usual.
At lunchtime, Lin Leyao and Xiao Mi were eating together in the RV when they suddenly heard a knock on the door.
Xiaomi immediately ran to open the car door.
When she saw the person in front of her, Xiao Mi's eyes widened suddenly, her face full of disbelief.
In an instant, various ideas flashed through Xiaomi's mind.
Why is this person here? How does she know where Sister Leyao's car is? What brought her here today? Did Sister Leyao send her? And Miss Xin...
While Xiao Mi was still lost in thought, the person opposite her was quite surprised to see her.
Xin Wenwen took a half step back and looked at the car's exterior again carefully, confirming that she hadn't made a mistake.
Xin Wenwen asked in confusion, "Is this Le Yao's car?"
Upon hearing the sound, Lin Leyao came out of the carriage.
Xiaomi turned around and called out in a daze, "Sister Leyao."
When Xin Wenwen saw Lin Leyao appear, she stood there stunned, completely frozen in place.
Xiao Mi couldn't help but glance at Xin Wenwen over here and then at Lin Leyao beside her, and all sorts of dramatic novel plots came flooding back to her.
Xin Wenwen asked, "Is this your car?"
Lin Leyao nodded and gave a blank "hmm".
Xin Wenwen immediately looked apologetic: "I'm sorry, I must have gone to the wrong place. The RV photos that someone sent me are exactly the same as yours, and the parking spot is almost the same too."
Lin Leyao said, "The actors' RVs are all rented from the film studio, and they all look pretty much the same."
"I understand, I won't bother you anymore, you guys go ahead with your work." With that, Xin Wenwen stepped aside, preparing to leave.
But the next second, Xin Wenwen stopped abruptly.
She turned around again, took out her phone, and said, "Um, you..."
Xin Wenwen hesitated for a moment before finally saying, "Auntie, could you help me find this RV?"
Lin Leyao called to Xiao Mi beside her, "Xiao Mi, take a look at her."
Xiaomi was still stunned and speechless when she heard Xin Wenwen call her that. She was also dazed when she heard Lin Leyao's words. She took Xin Wenwen's phone and reacted for a while before finally recognizing her.
"Your RV is located quite far away. It's near Huaqing Palace. You'll see the RV when you get there."
"Okay, thank you." Xin Wenwen took the phone and left in a hurry without even saying goodbye.
After everyone left, Xiaomi, who had been stunned for a long time, finally came to her senses.
"Mom, Sister Leyao, why is she calling you 'Auntie'?"
Xiaomi was the only staff member around Lin Leyao who knew that she and Xin Wenwen had been together. When she saw Xin Wenwen appear, she thought that she was coming back to win Lin Leyao back.
At that time, she was still wondering what to do about Miss Xin, and whether she should tell Miss Xin about this.
But what happened next was far beyond her expectations.
Lin Leyao was not affected by the unexpected incident and returned to the table to continue eating.
Seeing Xiaomi's puzzled look, Lin Leyao didn't hide anything and asked in return, "Why do you think her surname is Xin?"
"ah?"
Xiaomi's lips gaped open as she recalled Xin Wenwen's nickname, and a sudden inspiration struck her.
The next second, Xiaomi was shocked by its own conjecture.
Xiao Mi opened her round eyes and asked softly, "Is Miss Xin her aunt?"
"Um."
Good heavens! This ethical dilemma!
Xin Wenwen walked a few hundred meters before feeling a bit lost.
Just then, her phone rang. Seeing the contact name on the screen, Xin Wenwen quickly answered: "Zhipei, where exactly is this location you gave me?"
"I know it's at Huaqing Palace, but I don't see this RV."
"Why did you switch to a motorhome? Okay, I'll look for another one. I've made a fortune all over the film studio helping you out. You have to treat me to a meal when you get back to thank me!"
This incident did not affect Lin Leyao's mood; on the contrary, because Christmas was approaching, Lin Leyao was actually quite happy.
At this time, in the Xin residence of City S.
Xin Si Nan returned to the Xin residence late last night and slept until noon.
He dressed neatly and walked into the hall. Through the wide-open door, he saw a figure dart past the courtyard gate. The figure quickly disappeared outside.
Looking at that slender figure, Xin Si Nan asked the butler beside him, "Has Wen Wen gone out?"
“Miss Wenwen left after having dinner at home last night and didn’t stay overnight.”
"Who was that who just went out?"
"She is Miss Le Yao's younger sister."
Xin Si Nan's hand, which was adjusting his cuffs, immediately stopped.
He looked at the butler and asked, "Lin Leyao's sister?"
The butler's smile remained unchanged as he replied, "Yes."
"Lin Leyao isn't here, so why did she come?"
The housekeeper answered each question with a simple, "It was Madam who asked her to come."
Upon hearing this, Shin Si-nam slowly lowered his hand from tidying his clothes.
Is my mom in her room right now?
"Here I am."
“I’ll go upstairs to find her.”
Xin Si Nan, who had originally planned to go out, changed his mind and strode up the wooden stairs to the second floor.
The door to the old lady's room on the second floor was tightly closed. Xin Si Nan knocked heavily a few times and then opened the door by turning the handle.
When Dai Jiaozhi saw someone enter, she hung up the phone before she could even say goodbye. When she saw that it was Xin Sinan who came in, she breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time, anger rose in her heart.
Why did you come in without knocking?
Xin Si Nan laughed and said, "Didn't I knock? Didn't you hear me?"
Dai Jiaozhi's phone rang, and Xin Sinan didn't look away, staring straight at the phone.
Dai Jiaozhi didn't hide it from her son and answered the phone in front of Xin Sinan.
"Nothing happened, someone just came. Well, take care of yourself while you're out. If you have the chance, ask Hailan to come back and visit. Let's call it a day."
Dai Jiaozhi quickly hung up the phone. Xin Sinan's gaze was fixed on his phone, and his usually smiling face was now dark and gloomy.
Dai Jiaozhi looked back at Xin Sinan, her wrinkled eyes fixed on him, and neither of them uttered a sound for a moment.
