Chapter 193 Dressing Like Another Person

Li Ruochu glanced at the golden wig in Ji Wuchen's hand, a hint of decisiveness flashed in his eyes, and then he reached out to take it without hesitation and put it on his head with neat movements.

She carefully adjusted the wig, pushing a few strands of hair to the sides of her cheeks to make it look more natural.

Then she picked up the contact lenses and put them on skillfully.

After doing all this, she stood in front of the mirror and looked at herself carefully.

In the mirror, a vivid image of a foreign woman appeared.

The golden wig gleamed under the light, contrasting with the deep beautiful eyes, and the originally familiar face became extremely exotic.

Her delicate facial features seemed to be reassembled in this new outfit, exuding a different kind of charm.

After looking at herself like this, she nodded with satisfaction and walked out of the room confidently.

As soon as Li Ruochu walked out of the room, Li Mingzhu looked over subconsciously.

However, the next second, Li Mingzhu was frozen in place as if under a spell.

She widened her eyes and looked at Li Ruochu in front of her in disbelief. She was completely different from the woman before!

If I hadn't seen her walk out of the room with my own eyes, I would have thought there were guests in my house.

Li Mingzhu looked back and forth at Li Ruochu, secretly marveling at her miraculous transformation.

Then, Li Ruochu spoke fluent and authentic Country F with just the right amount of doubt: "Mom, I heard that two people came to see me today. Who are they?"

The tone and expression were just like a real native of Country F, without any flaws.

The moment Zhao Yuanzhao saw Li Ruchu, his eyes were instantly attracted to her.

He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the woman's face carefully, trying to find a trace of similarity between this unfamiliar face and the woman in his memory.

However, no matter how he looked, he felt that the person in front of him was very different from the image in his memory.

However, for some reason, this feeling of strangeness made Zhao Yuanzhao feel a little comforted.

Perhaps, this woman really was his childhood playmate, but the time was so long ago and she had changed so much that he found it difficult to recognize her.

"I came here this time just to ask Miss Ji a question."

Zhao Yuanzhao couldn't suppress his inner curiosity, and came directly to Li Ruchu's side, staring at her closely, as if he wanted to see through her disguise and explore the secrets deep in her heart.

"Who is this..." Li Ruochu tilted his head with a puzzled look on his face. He looked at the man in front of him innocently, as if he really didn't know him.

"This is the eldest son of the Zhao family who hosted the banquet yesterday, Zhao Yuanzhao." Li Mingzhu came back to her senses and hurriedly introduced him, while secretly worrying whether Li Ruchu could handle it well.

Li Ruochu raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a polite smile, nodded and said, "It turns out to be Mr. Zhao. Yesterday, your brother misunderstood that I stole your water pipe."

Her tone was relaxed and natural, as if she was just telling an insignificant anecdote, without any tension or panic.

"I'm sorry, my brother was ignorant about what happened yesterday. But I came here today just to ask about what happened yesterday."

Zhao Yuanzhao bowed slightly with an apologetic smile on his face, but that smile did not reach his eyes, which revealed a seriousness that should not be underestimated.

"Oh?" Li Ruochu raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing just the right amount of doubt. She raised her hand gracefully and invited Young Master Zhao to sit down. Her movements were natural and smooth, like a real noble lady.

"Was it because of yesterday's misunderstanding that was not explained clearly?" Her voice was soft, with a hint of curiosity, as if she was really just confused about yesterday's incident.

"No, I just want to ask how Miss Ji knew the name engraved on the white marble in my house?" Zhao Yuanzhao's eyes were fixed on Li Ruchu, and there was a look of inquiry in his eyes.

As far as he knew, only he and Long Yihuan knew about this matter.

He had mentioned this matter to Long Yihuan before, intentionally or unintentionally, but Long Yihuan seemed not to remember it at that time.

Originally, he was wondering if it was because the time was too long that Long Yihuan’s memory became blurred.

But now it seems that Long Yihuan from the Long family did not forget, but had no idea about it from the beginning.

"It's just a casual remark. Young Master Zhao, don't take it seriously." Li Ruochu's heart tightened, but he still maintained a calm expression on the surface.

She didn't know what purpose this man had in coming to see her, but if she admitted what happened yesterday so quickly, what if Zhao Yuanzhao wanted to kill her to silence her?

So it's better not to admit this for the time being. She lowered her head slightly and took a sip of tea, trying to hide her inner panic.

"Ms. Ji, you're joking. Only two people know this secret. Why does Miss Ji know it so clearly?" Zhao Yuanzhao's eyes became sharper, as if he could see through Li Ruchu's every thought.

He leaned forward slightly, his body emitting a sense of oppression, as if he did not believe what Li Ruchu said and was determined to get a satisfactory answer from her.

"Mr. Zhao, are you forcing me to answer? It's just that some things don't seem to go as Mr. Zhao wishes. After all, someone has already appeared, right?"

Li Ruochu raised her head and met Zhao Yuanzhao's gaze calmly. There was an elusive light flashing in her eyes, and she said meaningfully.

If Mr. Zhao was smart enough, he should know that it was not convenient for her to speak now, and there might be some unspeakable secrets around her.

But if Mr. Zhao really wanted to hurt her because of her identity, he would probably just think she was talking nonsense and regard her words as a meaningless excuse.

She secretly observed Zhao Yuanzhao's expression, trying to judge from his reaction how to respond next.

Zhao Yuanzhao was so smart that Li Ruchu's words were like a light lighting up his heart, instantly explaining what happened yesterday.

He narrowed his eyes slightly and thought to himself that seeing Li Ruchu being so cautious, he must have some concerns.

He also knew that if he continued to press at this moment, not only would he not get anything out of him, but it might backfire and make Li Ruchu even more alert.

"My brother was wrong about what happened yesterday. He misunderstood Miss Ji. I came here today to apologize. I will personally invite Miss Ji to visit the Zhao family another day."

Zhao Yuanzhao had a gentle smile on his face and spoke in a sincere tone, as if he really just came to apologize for his brother's recklessness.

As he spoke, he bowed slightly, his manners elegant and proper, showing the demeanor of a young master from an aristocratic family.
