Chapter 496 Not Surprised at All
Jean hadn’t expected that the people Sienna wanted her to meet-
Would be a group of familiar faces.
She instinctively turned her head to look at her mother, eyes full of confusion and surprise.
Sienna simply smiled at her, just about to speak
When Mindy’s voice eddenly rang out.
“It’s you…”
Mindy stood up from her seat, staring directly at Jean
face..
Her expression was filled with obvious shock. Clearly-
To Mindy, seeing Jean in this setting was completely unexpected.
“She…” Mindy turned to look at her son, reaching out to tug at Asher’s sleeve as if seeking confirmation. “Isn’t she that classmate of yours?”
In Mindy’s memory, Jean was Asher’s classmate. She was also the one who had gone above and beyond to help him during his most difficult time–his great benefactor.
She had always liked Jean and felt grateful to her-
But today’s gathering was supposed to be a meeting with the young lady of the Ginger family…
So that meant-
The mysterious youngest daughter of the Ginger family was actually the Jean she had met before?!
Sure, Jean’s surname was indeed “Jiang,” but in the past, who would’ve connected this child to the famous Ginger family?
She hadn’t known much about Jean’s background, only vaguely heard that she came from a modest family -a pitiful child, really…
And now, seeing her in this kind of setting-
So, her true identity was actually…
Mindy’s emotions became complicated. She stared at Asher, unsure what to say.
In contrast, Asher appeared remarkably calm.
His expression was steady, like a frost–covered surface, his deep and narrow eyes quiet as still water–calm, unreadable.
His gaze rested squarely on Jean’s face, though it was hard to tell what he was thinking.
“Asher.” Mindy gently shook his arm when he remained silent.
Only then did Asher part his lips slightly. He looked at his mother and said calmly, “This classmate of mine

keeps a very low profile at school. Hiding her identity is her way of having a peaceful, quier student life Mom, it’s best if we keep this to ourselves and don’t spread it around”
Mindy felt her heart settle after heating that. Her earlier confusion slowly gave way to clarity
Her son was right. Jean had clearly kept her identity hidden for a reason.
There was no need to overanalyze. What she should do was help the child maintain her secret.
At that moment, Jean was also staring at Asher.
The young man’s expression was incredibly composed. She hadn’t expected Asher to react this way
Not even the slightest bit surprised or curious–his first reaction was to stop Mindy from revealing her identity.
“You don’t… have anything you want to ask me?” Jean couldn’t help but speak up.
She stared at Asher’s eyes, awkwardly scratching the back of her head. “About who I am.
After all, they were friends.
Meeting like this by coincidence, didn’t he at least want to hear her explain a little?
Asher pressed his thin lips together, staying silent for a moment as he looked steadily at Jean.
He really wasn’t all that surprised.
Because… he had known all along.
Even though Jean had gone out of her way to hide her real identity, some things just couldn’t be hidden- no matter how hard she tried.
