Some time later, Jessica was already wearing her maid uniform, and Tang Yin gave her a mask that Xiao Ai had prepared for her.
Tang Yin then pulled Jessica in front of the mirror. "Use it."
"Hmm?" Jessica felt confused by that, but she immediately put on the mask. Soon, she fell dumbfounded as she stared at her reflection in the mirror, and she groped her face to make sure she wasn't seeing things. But she couldn't feel the mask, as if it had merged with her face, which had been transformed into someone else's. "How could my face become someone else's face?"
"The mask is a disguise device, and you must use it every time I take you out of this place." Tang Yin taught Jessica how to remove the mask. "Xiao Ai has implanted her sub-chip into your brain, so all your actions are under her supervision. She will stop you if you try to contact your husband or family, so don't bother doing it when you're out."
Jessica inwardly sighed. "Who is Xiao Ai? What exactly is this place?"
"Follow me." Jessica followed Tang Yin out of the room, but she raised an eyebrow when she saw Mu Qingge and Mu Yan. "Aunt Qingge and Yan'er, her name is Jessica, and she is one of the women who put Xiao'er in prison for seven years."
Mu Yan put on a hostile look as she fiercely stared at Jessica. "Humph! Evil woman! You deserve to be a prisoner because you have done evil to Big Brother Xiao!"
"Yan'er." Mu Qingge was still confused about her daughter's attitudes regarding Tang Xiao and Tang Yin.
"Mother, she is an unscrupulous woman, so there is no need for you to feel sorry for her." Mu Yan then pulled her mother away, making Mu Qingge sigh helplessly. "Let's go; we will train with Grandpa Huang and Grandma Lingyan."
Jessica realized that she had indeed done something bad to Tang Xiao by betraying him, but she didn't know either woman, so she was confused by Mu Yan's hostile attitude. "Who are they?"
"Aunt Qingge is Xiao'er's future third wife." Jessica turned to Tang Yin in shock. "His first wife is me, and his second wife is Xing Xing."
"Huh?" Jessica's eyes widened in shock. "You... how..."
"That's none of your business." A flying car suddenly landed in front of them, shocking Jessica again. Tang Yin took her on a ride before going to the factory.
Along the way, Jessica looked at the surrounding area in awe and shock, as all areas of the Ark were too modern and advanced compared to Earth. 'What exactly is this place? Where did they get such an advanced place?'
Tang Yin explained several things to Jessica, including about cultivators and some others, making it difficult for her to digest all the things she had heard for the first time.
Before long, they arrived at the factory, and Tang Yin took Jessica inside.
Jessica wasn't surprised by Zhao Yuxian's presence, as she had seen her the night before. However, she didn't recognize her former teacher because Xiao Ai had already changed Yu Xiaoling's face as per Tang Yin's request.
"What?" Jessica screamed softly as soon as Tang Yin told her Yu Xiaoling's identity. "Is... is this really you, Teacher Yu?"
Yu Xiaoling nodded at her. "It's me."
"Then—"
"No need for chit-chat." Tang Yin then spoke to Xiao Ai, who was also there. "I'll leave Jessica to you, and you can teach her the things she needs to learn."
"Yes, Mistress." After Tang Yin left, Xiao Ai explained some things to Jessica, especially about all the equipment in the factory and the products.
Since it was still early, Tang Yin didn't rush to Tianmei; Instead, she joined the others at the training ground.

At the Ouyang House, Su Rou walked into Yi An's room to wake her up, as she was unusually late. "Madam Yi."
"Mhmm..." Yi An groaned softly and slowly opened her eyes. "Why are you here?"
'Did Feng Xiao do something to her last night?' Su Rou then informed Yi An. "Madam Yi, it's already 7 o'clock in the morning, and we have a meeting with the people here at 10 o'clock."
Yi An was surprised to hear that, and she hurriedly sat up on the bed. However, she felt her body was so light, and she didn't feel the slightest fatigue like usual. 'Is this because of Feng Xiao's massage yesterday? I've never slept this well, but I slept so long last night, and my body is so fresh now.' "Leave first and ask the maid to prepare my breakfast."
"Yes, Madam Yi." Su Rou immediately walked out.
"You will drive today because I gave Feng Xiao a few days off." Su Rou was surprised to hear that, but she asked nothing and left Yi An's bedroom straight away. "Sigh! I was really crazy last night! However, his massage was really comfortable, and I thoroughly enjoyed it."
After that, Yi An hurriedly washed up before going to breakfast with Su Rou, and the two of them left the Ouyang House afterward.

Soon, the two women arrived at the hospital, and Yi An went to visit her son first while speaking with the doctor treating him. Unfortunately, the doctor still couldn't find the source of Ouyang Ming's illness, disappointing her.
Yi An then proceeded to Ouyang Qing's room, where she was relieved to see her daughter's condition getting better. The doctor treating her daughter told her that she could be discharged in a few days.
After she spoke with her daughter for some time, Yi An immediately left the room, as she had to go to a meeting.
"Where is Feng Xiao?" Su Rou, who was about to follow Yi An, immediately turned to Ouyang Qing. "Where is he?"
'Haha! She seems to miss Feng Xiao, huh?' Su Rou immediately informed Ouyang Qing. "Your mother gave him a few days off, but I don't know where he is now because he was already gone when I got back last night, so I didn't have an opportunity to ask him. If you—"
"Leave!" Ouyang Qing shouted at Su Rou, who immediately hurried away. She took her smartphone from the tableside and searched for Tang Xiao's number, but she hesitated to call him.
Even though she wanted to see Tang Xiao again, Ouyang Qing gave up her intention to contact him. "Sigh! What exactly happened to me? Why do I keep thinking about him? I even dreamed about him last night, and I missed his touch so much."
While Ouyang Qing was lost in thought, two women suddenly entered her room, and Luo Yan handed her some beauty products. "Yesterday, I asked my friend to buy these products from Tang Yin's shop, and the results were excellent after I tried them."
"Hmm?" Ouyang Qing frowned at that, but she did not respond to Lin Yan. Instead, she contacted Bai Huang, but his response upset her because he was unable to take action against Tang Yin due to the arrival of Sun Xiang and Xiao Meng. 'Tch! What a useless guy!' "I'm not interested in these products, and I'm only interested in destroying that bitch, so you can bring them back!"
Lin Yan chose not to comment on the matter, and the three of them discussed other matters before she and Luo Qinlin left Ouyang Qing alone.

Zhao Teng, who had just returned to Zhao House, was perplexed when he saw his third wife sitting pensively alone. He approached Lin Yanxiu and inquired. "What happened? Why are you daydreaming early in the morning like this? Is there something bothering you?"
"Husband, I wanted to tell you something yesterday, but you didn't come home last night." Lin Yanxiu pulled Zhao Teng to sit by her side. "You definitely won't guess this, but the owner of the beauty shop I visited yesterday belonged to Tang Yin, and Zhao Qing was helping her to manage it."
"Hmm?" Zhao Teng momentarily raised his eyebrows upon hearing that. "Are you sure that the company is hers?"
Lin Yanxiu nodded to her husband. "I talked to Zhao Qing yesterday, and she told me about it, so it should be true. I hope you won't do anything to that company; instead, I hope you're willing to help them, especially since Tang Yin is your granddaughter."
Zhao Teng's expression turned furious as he stood up. "I've told you many times that I have grandchildren like them! They are Jing'er's illegitimate children, and they have nothing to do with my Zhao family, so you don't need to talk about them in front of me anymore."
Lin Yanxiu let out a heavy sigh because of Zhao Teng's attitude, but she knew that she would never be able to persuade her husband, especially with his stubborn character. 'Sigh! He shouldn't say something like that! The late Tang Ye and Zhao Jing were officially married, so Tang Yin and Tang Xiao were not illegitimate children.'

An old man stood in front of Zhao Teng and listened to his explanation, but he was completely shocked by his order. "Are you sure you want to do that, brother? I know that you never want to recognize Tang Yin as your granddaughter, but she is still Jing'er's daughter. Even if you keep denying it, you will never be able to change the truth, so I don't think you need to go that far with her."
"Are you going to disobey my orders, Zhao Wei?" Zhao Teng inquired with narrowed eyes.
