Xia Cheng had lived in the countryside for nearly eighteen years when she discovered her biological parents were famous real estate magnates.
Eagerly, she returned to her family, only to find...
Chapter 2: The True and False Princess
She could talk about Xia Cheng's experience as if she was unaware of the contempt others showed towards her.
"Sister Xia Cheng is from the countryside, please don't bully her."
"How could Sister Xia Cheng possibly have this? She probably hasn't even seen it before."
"Sister Xia Cheng, after you came back, I felt like my parents didn't love me anymore. Could you stay at school longer?"
"Sister Xia Cheng..."
"Sister Xia Cheng..."
It’s so annoying! It’s really so annoying! Xia Cheng didn’t understand why she was the real eldest daughter of this family, but she still had to take care of Xun Mo’s mood like a guest.
Xun Mo was adopted, and so was Xun Sheng. Why should they take over her life and spend the first nineteen years of her life for her?
Xia Cheng was not a kind person to begin with. Coming from a small place, she had seen more dirty things.
Xun Mo robbed her of her life, and Xia Cheng thought selfishly: I also want to steal Xun Mo's things.
For example, Xun Mo’s childhood sweetheart, Yu Jingyuan.
Xun Mo is a true princess who is innocent and naive, and Xia Cheng is also a princess.
However, Xia Cheng would compete with wild dogs for bones. Once she saw something good, she would be burned with jealousy and lose all her morals. She would become a fake princess who only knew how to bark when she was in pain.
The fake princess wants to fight the real princess because the real princess has already declared war on her.
“I’m dirty, but I can pretend to be clean.”
Xia Cheng thought so, and on the night when she successfully slept with Yu Jingyuan, she held his neck tightly, with seductive gasps escaping from her throat, and everything about Yu Jingyuan was firmly embedded in her body.
As Xia Cheng was thinking, she fell asleep without knowing when. When she woke up again, her roommate Chen Kelin had just finished class and returned.
Chen Kelin was surprised to see Xia Cheng get out of bed.
"Didn't you ask for leave? Why are you in the dormitory?"
Xia Cheng covered her forehead and said, "I feel a little uncomfortable. I need to take a break and have some sleep."
Seeing that she was really not feeling well and her steps were limp, Chen Kelin was quite enthusiastic: "I'm going out to buy food, do you want me to bring it to you?"
"No thanks." Xia Cheng was looking for clothes in the closet, then turned around and smiled softly, "I'm going home for dinner tonight."
The Xun family arranged a driver to pick up Xia Cheng. The luxury car stopped at the school gate, attracting many people to stop and watch.
Xia Cheng got into the car with gritted teeth, only to find that there was another person in the back seat.
Xun Sheng was wearing a navy blue suit and looked like he had just returned from the company. Xia Cheng didn't expect that this brother would also come, and she stood there for a while, feeling a little at a loss.
Xun Sheng raised his eyebrows, and Xia Cheng immediately came to his senses and sat down next to him.
She felt a little embarrassed, but she also felt that since they were all family, there was nothing to be embarrassed about. She imitated Xun Mo's appearance in her memory and asked tenderly:
"Brother, did you just come back from the company?"
Xun Sheng then put down his phone and nodded indifferently. His reaction was not as gentle as when he treated Xun Mo, which made Xia Cheng a little disappointed.
She turned her head to look at the car window. Occasionally, when driving into a dark area, Xun Sheng's face would be reflected in the glass. He had a very attractive appearance, which was so frightening that people dared not look directly at him. He looked nothing like Xia Cheng.
Xia Cheng thought that she looked like Xun Mo, so bright and beautiful that it was annoying.
Xia Cheng hated this look so much, and she also hated Xun Sheng by the way, but she wouldn't say it and still sat there obediently.
The traffic was surging, and in the light from the glass, Xun Sheng raised his eyes and swept over Xia Cheng coldly, seemingly unintentionally, but it made Xia Cheng suddenly freeze.
Did he notice she was looking at him?
Xia Cheng just made a face at the car window with a disgusted expression. She didn't want Xun Sheng to notice, so she quickly turned around to explain.
Their eyes met, and before Xia Cheng could say anything, the car suddenly swung.
She lost her balance and fell towards Xun Sheng, with half of her body resting on Xun Sheng's thigh.
"Sorry, Master and Madam, someone just cut in line." The driver apologized guiltily.
"It's okay." Perhaps to avoid the driver's inquiring gaze, Xun Sheng said as he pressed the partition between the front and back rows.
The metallic sound vibrated slowly, isolating the front and back, and Xia Cheng looked up with a flushed face.
"I just accidentally bumped into you...does it hurt?"
What do you mean by accident? It was clearly Xia Cheng's intention. She took advantage of the situation and threw herself into Xun Sheng's arms, burying her head in his. At the moment of collision, she also pressed her body forward, which was tantamount to seduction.
"How long are you going to lie there?" Xun Sheng didn't seem to care and didn't answer Xia Cheng's question.
Xia Cheng ran away like a frightened bird and huddled aside:
"I'm sorry, it was an accident!"
"Really?" Xun Sheng asked back.
Xia Cheng opened her mouth and lowered her head silently.
"Someone cut in front of me just now, so I fell."
"I'm not talking about you." Xun Sheng silently changed his position, crossing his legs. The woman's warmth and soft touch seemed to still remain on his thighs.
His throat moved, and he pointed out the window at the black sports car that had just cut them off: "He did it on purpose."
Xia Cheng looked in the direction of Xun Sheng's finger. The person in the black sports car probably knew that they were looking at him.
A hand stretched out from the front car window and raised the middle finger in a wanton and ostentatious manner.
"Who is he?" Xia Cheng asked.
"Lin Minghe."
As soon as she heard his name, Xia Cheng knew his identity.
It turned out to be the lackey who had always been following Xun Mo.
Her eyes curved downwards, and the corners of her mouth curved slightly. When Xun Sheng turned his head, she blinked innocently:
"He's such a bad guy, even though he knows his brother."
Xun Sheng smiled softly, still distant. He opened his phone again to deal with work, as if nothing had happened just now.
The car stopped steadily in front of the Xun family's gate.
Xia Cheng heard Xun Mo's bell-like laughter from a distance. After a while, the figure jumped out of the gate and stood on the steps at the door, waving to Xia Cheng and Xun Sheng.
"Why did you come back just now? I'm starving."
Xun Sheng strode forward, pressed Xun Mo's head with his hand, and the two walked side by side in front.
Xun Mo was very happy and energetic, jumping around in her white dress like a little rabbit. After a while, she affectionately put her arm around Xun Sheng's:
"Why did you come back just now? Brother Jingyuan has been waiting for you for a long time."
"Isn't it just right that I come back late? This way, someone else can accompany him."
Xun Sheng certainly knew that Xun Mo liked Yu Jingyuan, and she was not someone who could hide her feelings.
Xun Mo covered her red cheeks, and seemed to have just remembered that Xia Cheng was still behind her. She tilted her head back and stuck out her tongue:
"Sister Xia Cheng, this is your first time meeting Brother Jingyuan, right? Don't be afraid. Brother Jingyuan is a very nice person."
Xia Cheng suppressed her uneasiness when she was suddenly asked. She really didn't expect Yu Jingyuan to be here. What if he told her about what happened last night? Her plan would be completely ruined.
"Of course not."
Xia Cheng's smile was a little forced.
Xun Sheng glanced at her and said, "I'll go upstairs and change my clothes first. You and Momo can go. Don't be afraid. Yu Jingyuan has a very gentle personality."
Xun Sheng believed that Xia Cheng's strangeness came from her uneasiness about the unknown, and that she came from a small place and lacked social skills.
Little did he know that his sister had already had an in-depth discussion with Yu Jingyuan last night.
"Uh-huh."
Xia Cheng looked well-behaved and walked into the study hand in hand with Xun Mo.
As soon as the two entered the room, they saw Yu Jingyuan, dressed in casual white clothes, stroking his chin anxiously, and hesitant about the chess piece in front of him.
Sitting opposite him was Xia Cheng's biological father, Xun Youdong.
"Haha, it seems that your mind is not on this today." Xun Youdong threw down the soldier in his hand after another change of soldiers: "Chengcheng is back, let's go and have dinner."
As soon as Yu Jingyuan heard Xia Cheng's name, the chess piece in his hand fell to the ground. He couldn't help but change his expression and stood up in panic.
The chess piece rolled onto the brown floor and landed at Xia Cheng's feet. She picked it up and handed it to Yu Jingyuan with a faint smile.
"Hello, Brother Jingyuan. Today is the first time we meet. Please take care of me in the future."
