Chapter 319 The Serpent Queen's Dilemma (Part Twelve)

With her upturned eyeliner, bright red lips, and wispy curls piled up at the back of her head, she wore a black silk satin dress that adorned her body with bright red roses and gold tassels from her knees to her ankles. Her bracelets, necklace, earrings, brooch, and hairpins were all carved and inlaid with the jade left behind by Rui. Under the light, they were crystal clear and very eye-catching.

Ye Xiangwan's head was small, making her features appear exceptionally delicate. With a touch of alluring makeup and those lively, playful eyes, she looked every bit the rebellious vixen. That was exactly the effect Xiangwan wanted.

She Rui, who was standing next to Xiang Wan, had a very sour face and his eyes were blazing with anger ever since Xiang Wan put on this outfit. However, because of the promise Xiang Wan had made to him, he kept a cold face and tightly held Xiang Wan's hand, which was supporting her arm, to his side.

She Rui's hair was black. Xiang Wan had asked him why, but he didn't answer and refused to cut it. So Xiang Wan simply had a designer make him a Tang suit, parting his full head of black hair in the middle, braiding a plait on each side of his temples, wrapping it around his ears, and securing it with a jade ring at the back of his head, leaving a few strands of hair in front. Combined with his sullen face and unapproachable aura, plus his stunningly handsome face and tall figure, he looked exactly like a handsome man who had stepped out of ancient times. His charming and seductive eyes, coupled with his ascetic aura, made women unable to look away, and men feeling ashamed of themselves.

This pair of people, stepping out of the ultra-luxurious extended limousine, immediately attracted everyone's attention upon their appearance.

Xiang Wan, arm in arm with Rui, walked calmly into the villa.

The Ye and Zeng families spent a lot of money to use a 500-square-meter villa with a courtyard as Ye Zhi Qiu and Zeng Yi's wedding house, and their wedding was held on the villa's open lawn.

The two families invited a small number of people, but they were all influential figures in their respective fields and had close ties with both families. Among the crowd, Xiang Wan immediately spotted Qian Shijie, and he raised his glass to the two of them.

Xiang Wan smiled slightly, took a glass of wine from the waiter's tray, and walked over to Qian Shijie with Rui to exchange pleasantries.

Having someone familiar with her current situation on such an important occasion is truly wonderful.

"I never expected that Zhi Qiu would be more dazzling than a big star when she dresses up."

"Uncle Qian, you flatter me. I came back this time to give my dad, mom, and sister a surprise, but I'm afraid they'll blame me. So, I'd like to trouble you to put in a good word for me later. Thank you in advance, and I'll drink to that!"

Xiang Wan raised her hand to drink, but Rui snatched it away and drank it all in one gulp.

"She can't hold her liquor, I'll drink for her!"

"Your young boyfriend is quite considerate, that's rare. I heard he recently acquired a company, he's really young and promising, a force to be reckoned with."

After offering a few words of praise, Qian Shijie lost interest in further conversation. Xiang Wan was about to remind Rui again when he reached out and pulled her close, smiled at Qian Shijie, and said, "Since my wife respectfully calls you Uncle Qian, then you are my elder. I hope Uncle Qian will take good care of me in the future. I'll drink this first as an apology."

After Rui finished speaking, he downed another glass of wine. Xiang Wan quickly took the glass away from his hand, afraid that he would get drunk.

Qian Shijie watched Wan and Rui's interaction with a smile, then turned to look at the wedding preparations, his eyes gleaming with interest. He whispered to Wan and Rui, "Whatever games you want to play, as long as it doesn't involve the interests of either family, I'll help as much as I can."

Xiang Wan thanked him and then pulled Rui towards the place where the Ye family was gathered.

By this time, the Ye family members were eagerly waiting. They had already seen Xiang Wan and Rui enter the wedding venue, but instead of looking for them, they went to find Qian Shijie first, which naturally aroused their curiosity.

Furthermore, the people around Xiang Wan were clearly not ordinary people. Ye's parents were already extremely anxious about their background, but they couldn't directly question them at the wedding. They could only keep their eyes glued to Xiang Wan's figure.

He Rui arrived at the Ye family members unhurriedly. Xiang Wan first raised an eyebrow and smiled at Rui, then let go of his hand, raised her hands, and rushed into Ye's mother's arms with a loud shout, saying, "Mommy, Mommy, I'm back! Did you miss your little darling? I missed you so much! And Daddy, I dream about him all the time. I miss him so much that I can't even eat. Look, I've lost weight again. I need to eat more to make up for it."

The Ye family members exchanged bewildered glances, their skin crawling at Xiang Wan's coquettish antics. The men quickly turned their heads away, pretending not to see anything. The women, however, stole glances at Rui, lowering their heads only to quickly raise them again upon meeting his gaze, nodding politely while their faces subtly flushed.

Rui kept staring at Xiang Wan. When he saw her hugging Ye's mother, his expression suddenly turned cold, but he didn't immediately pull Xiang Wan away. After all, he still remembered what Xiang Wan had told him earlier.

Mr. Ye's face darkened, and he scolded, "You're back, so what kind of behavior is this? Where has your manners gone?"

"The child just got back, let her catch her breath first." Ye's mother patted Xiang Wan's back and said, "Look at you, you've been gone for so long without even a phone call. It's like we've raised you for nothing. Aren't you afraid your father and I will worry?"

"You should be the one worrying, don't drag me into it. You're a grown man, and you just leave like that. If your sister hadn't stopped us from going to look for you, I would have broken your legs!"

Mr. Ye's tone was serious, not like he was joking. Xiang Wan's heart skipped a beat, and a cold smile flashed in her eyes.

"Okay, Dad, I just wanted to go out and have some fun by myself. It's not like I'm not coming back. Besides, my sister knows, right? There's no danger, so what's there to worry about?"

"Why are you so troublesome? You've been gone for over two months, and you've come back with someone else. How can we feel at ease?"

"Oh, you mean him? She Rui, a promising young single man, and my daughter's good friend."

"Look at you, so unserious, you don't even bother to give us a proper introduction."

Ye's mother quickly stepped in to smooth things over. If Xiang Wan continued talking to Ye's father, it would definitely end in a bad fight, and she might even run away in a huff again. This was Ye Zhi Qiu's image in front of Ye's parents: willful, playful, and impulsive, listening to no one but Ye Xiang Wan—a spoiled child.

Speaking of which, the original owner and Ye Zhi Qiu looked very similar, but their personalities were worlds apart. One was mature, steady, and well-mannered, while the other was willful, capricious, and unrestrained. Because of their personalities, their clothing and appearance were completely different, to the point that everyone could tell who was who just by looking at their clothes and mannerisms. Even Ye's parents eventually ignored their appearances and identified the two sisters by their voices and clothing.

Therefore, if twin sisters want to steal each other's lives, all they need to do is remove one of them and have the other live according to the other's temperament. People who are not particularly familiar with each other will not easily discover the secret.

The original owner of this body was the one who was robbed; the thief was her beloved younger sister!
