Supernatural expert Shen Xu failed in her ascension and woke up to find herself as the fake rich daughter, about to be married (or sold) off by her adoptive mother.
Looking at her "fianc�...
Chapter 115 Substitute
Jiang Yue nodded thoughtfully: "Indeed, the Xi family now is not the same as the Xi family of the past."
Although the Xi family has now become an upper-class family, it was once only a second-rate family.
The current chairman of the Xi family, Zhiyuan, was originally an illegitimate child. If he had not married the daughter of the Xiao family and had the financial support and status of the Xiao family, who knows where he would be.
How could he have the status he has today?
But, as the old saying goes, the first thing you do when you get ashore is to kill the person you love.
After marriage, Xi Zhiyuan spent every day drinking and hanging out with colorful flags flying around.
Later, the eldest son became seriously ill and became stupid and foolish.
Not only did Xi Zhiyuan not care, but it was exactly what he wanted.
He used the excuse that there was no one to inherit and carry on the Xi family's huge fortune to pua Miss Xiao all day long, forcing her to become depressed and attempt suicide several times. Unable to bear it anymore, she filed for divorce.
A few years after marrying Miss Xiao, Xi Zhiyuan had already gained control of the Xiao family's business. He happily divorced her and married the current Mrs. Xi.
Although Jiang Yue is young, he knows that the more powerful a person is, the more he should keep himself clean.
A person's personal moral character determines how high and how far he can go in the end.
People like Xi Zhiyuan...
He snorted coldly: "Isn't retribution coming now?"
"I heard he has another woman outside, but the current Mrs. Xi is not someone to be trifled with. She makes a lot of noise and chaos at home all day long, and everyone knows about her jokes."
Speaking of this, a hint of disdain flashed across Jiang Yue's brows.
"Forget it, let's not talk about these irritating things. Sister, Dong Huiqing just sent a message saying she wants to treat you to dinner tomorrow. Do you want to go?"
Free meal.
Of course.
The place where Dong Huiqing hosted the dinner was in a quiet courtyard.
Walking in, you will find a different world. The courtyard is elegant, and the door panels, tables and chairs in the private rooms are all engraved with exquisite cloud and dragon patterns, which are antique.
Dong Huiqing and Pei Yiyi had already arrived. When they saw Jiang Xu, they expressed their gratitude again.
"Sister, come here, take a look, what do you want to eat?" Jiang Yue handed the menu to Jiang Xu attentively.
Seeing him like this, the manager who came to greet him was secretly surprised.
Young Master Jiang Yue usually looks up to others. Even towards Miss Ruan Ruoning of the Jiang family, he has never been so close... or rather, so flattering.
After Jiang Xu returned to the Jiang family, he ate at home and spent time with his family. He didn't hesitate to order all the dishes that interested him.
With her like this, everyone felt relaxed. With Pei Yiyi and Jiang Yue, two talkative people, around, the atmosphere was even more comfortable.
The food was also very appetizing. After Jiang Xu finished eating, he poured himself a cup of tea and leaned back in his chair to rest.
He met Pei Yiyi's smiling eyes and asked with a smile, "What's wrong?"
Pei Yiyi smiled and shook her head.
nothing.
I just feel that Jiang Xu like this is like a lazy cat... cute and I want to touch it.
But I dare not touch it.
Tiger... No, you can't touch the master's head.
Everyone took a break and was about to leave when suddenly there was a commotion outside.
When I went out, I saw Mrs. Xi, Su Xiuyun, looking like a cat with its fur standing on end, looking very angry.
A pair of eyes were fixed on the man and woman in front of him.
"Okay, I made soup for you all day at home, and you're here eating delicious food and drinking spicy drinks with your mistress. Xi Zhiyuan, are you being worthy of me?"
As soon as these words were spoken, exclamations were heard in the air.
This is, catching an adulterer in public?
Jiang Yue and Pei Yiyi's eyes lit up and they hurried over.
Looking at the crowd gathering together, Xi Zhiyuan quickly reached out and pulled the woman behind him.
His face was gloomy.
"Su Xiuyun, are you crazy? Do you know what you are doing? Are you not satisfied until the whole city knows about it?" He shouted in a low voice.
Su Xiuyun gritted her teeth and shouted sarcastically, "Am I crazy?"
"You dare to do it and are you afraid of what I say?"
"I want to see what this vixen looks like. She's got you thinking about her so much that you don't even go home..."
Su Xiuyun was almost furious. She cursed and rushed forward to grab the woman's arm.
Xi Zhiyuan hurried to stop them and the two men started to fight.
“That’s enough!”
Xi Zhiyuan suddenly raised his hand and slapped Su Xiuyun.
"You...you hit me!"
Su Xiuyun's eyes were red and she tried to grab the woman like crazy. The woman was not paying attention and was pulled out by her, letting out a weak cry of surprise.
Su Xiuyun gritted her teeth, but when she actually saw the woman's face, her pupils suddenly trembled.
He quickly took a step back and looked at her in disbelief, unable to believe his eyes.
This is not...
Isn't she dead?
But when Su Xiuyun looked at the woman carefully for a while, looking at her smooth and delicate skin, a hint of jealousy flashed in her eyes.
He sneered again.
"Xi Zhiyuan, I can't believe you're already over fifty and still playing the role of a love substitute!"
substitute?
As the words fell, there was another gasp in the air.
Jiang Yue's eyes widened.
It can't be what he thinks.
I can’t believe that Xi Zhiyuan, at his age, is cheating on his wife, has a body double, and is still quite fashionable.
Upon hearing this, the weak woman looked at Xi Zhiyuan in disbelief, her almond-shaped eyes misted over.
"Zhiyuan...what is a stand-in?"
Xi Zhiyuan's expression changed, and Su Xiuyun sneered, "Don't you even know about the substitute?"
"There is a white moonlight in his heart, but the person is gone."
"Do you think he really loves you? In fact, it's just because you look like his white moonlight!"
Su Xiuyun's tone was sarcastic, with a hint of pleasure.
Everyone's pupils trembled.
WOW, white moonlight?
So exciting?
The weak woman's face changed drastically after hearing this.
She covered her face and ran out crying.
"You lunatic!" Xi Zhiyuan glared at Su Xiuyun fiercely, turned around and chased after her.
"Jingjing, listen to my explanation, Jingjing——"
"You are still going to find that vixen, in front of me, Xi Zhiyuan, do you take me seriously?" Su Xiuyun screamed and chased after him.
Everyone who stayed where they were was stunned.
The plot of the 8 o'clock TV drama was actually played out in front of them.
But... the middle-aged and elderly version in their fifties and sixties.
On the way back, Jiang Yue couldn't stop thinking about this bloody story.
"I didn't expect Xi Zhiyuan to have such a rich love history, and even have a white moonlight."
Pei Yiyi whispered: "You don't know?"
“Hasn’t it been spread recently?
Before Xi Zhiyuan was taken back to the Xi family, he had a lover in his hometown. However, later on, that lover died, and Xi Zhiyuan was heartbroken for a long time.
"I didn't expect that he would still be obsessed with her after all these years. Even after getting married for the second time, he still wanted to cheat on her and find a replacement."
Pei Yiyi was amazed.
wild.
Your circle is really wild.
Jiang Xu narrowed his eyes slightly, and a meaningful look flashed across his phoenix eyes.
Just a stand-in?
But she clearly saw many causal connections between that woman and Xi Zhiyuan.
She pondered for a moment and said slowly, "What if I say that this substitute is very likely Bai Yueguang herself?"
