Qin Hai had no idea that the girl he had just bumped into was none other than He Meimei. Not only was she the biological daughter of He Yaozu, but she was also the "Mermaid" her father had mentioned to him.
He Meimei had been at odds with He Yaozu these past few days, trying every which way to avoid going to Chunjiang, but He Yaozu had remained unyielding.
Realizing that she couldn't outmuscle him and that a trip to Chunjiang was inevitable, He Meimei grew increasingly agitated. She vented her frustrations every day by staring resentfully at Qin Hai's photo; his face was so deeply etched in her mind that he had become her most despised person.
It was for this reason that while Qin Hai didn't recognize He Meimei, she recognized him immediately.
To put it colloquially, even if Qin Hai turned to ash, He Meimei would be able to pick him out.
