Chapter 427: Finding a Substitute
"Yanyan, why is your brother acting weird today?"
Shen Yan also looked upstairs: "I think so too. Although he was smiling, his smile was so ugly. I didn't expose him just now. Maybe something happened at the base and he was too tired. Brother is too tired."
Zhu Qin also knew that things at the base were difficult to handle. She hadn't seen Chen Yan come home for three days or so, and now that he was back, he looked so tired.
"Forget it, this is the path he chose. We will think of a way to make it easier for him to stay at home in the future." Zhu Qin felt sorry for her son being too tired, but there was nothing she could do. This was his job and he was the person in charge of the base. All he thought about every day when he opened his eyes was the base.
Shen Yan also felt sorry for her brother. Before she could say anything, Zhu Qin asked her, "And then?"
Shen Yan was concerned about her brother being at home, so she spoke in a much lower voice: "Later, I saw Shen Wenxuan leaving with a new girlfriend who he had met since I don't know when, with a gloomy face. Jiang Sijie's face was not looking good either."
With Zhu Qin's support, Chen Yan opened a store in the inner city. Now life in the base is getting better and better, so the inner city has basically returned to the days before the end of the world.
The outer city also began to function normally. Many people could enter the inner city as long as they applied. The system between the inner and outer cities was far less strict than before.
Today, when Shen Yan was in the store, she saw her father Shen Wenxuan bringing a woman in. This woman was neither Jiang Sijie nor Sheng Qin.
After Shen Yan's description, Zhu Qin roughly knew that it was the lover who was older than Shen Wenxuan.
Jiang Sijie held half of Shen Wenxuan's money in her hands, so she was naturally not afraid of what Shen Wenxuan might do outside. The more this happened, the more Jiang Sijie was grateful that she got half of Shen Wenxuan's money.
"They looked at a lot of things, but didn't buy anything. I saw that it was Shen Wenxuan coming over, Mom, and I hid away very quickly. I was afraid that Shen Wenxuan would see me and bring women to my store in the future. Those were all clothes that I spent a lot of money to tailor. Fabrics are so expensive nowadays. If Shen Wenxuan knew that I opened this store, I don't know how he would come here to get a bargain in the future."
Shen Yan pouted her lips. If it was her father before, he could do whatever he wanted. But her father changed later and now he did something like this. If he couldn't come over, she didn't know how else she would be embarrassed.
The reason she came to me some time ago was that she wanted me to say some good things to her mother so that she could remarry her.
Now he is hanging out with one woman after another. How can a man like this be worthy of such a good mother?
Fortunately, I have always been sober.
They continued talking about what was going on in the base, and somehow ended up talking about Xue Mingxuan's sister Xue Minghui.
Shen Yan approached Zhu Qin and said, "Have you visited Aunt Xue recently? I heard that her sister has been having a hard time recently and often goes to Aunt Xue to complain."
Zhu Qin shook her head: "I haven't seen your Aunt Xue recently. I haven't been out for the past two days. I don't know what happened outside. Tell me what you heard. If it's serious, I'll go see your Aunt Xue tomorrow morning."
Shen Yan told her not to worry: "What big thing can happen in Xue Minghui's family? It's just that her trouble-free son brought back a few women and confronted Xue Minghui every day."
Shen Yan found it funny: "You know more or less about the temper of mother Xue Minghui from Aunt Xue. Now she has lost her husband, her son is incompetent, and her wife is sarcastic every day. Now her son has brought women back, and they are all eyeing their family's property, wishing to drive Xue Minghui out. However, the Ruan family's money is in Xue Minghui's hands, but those girls don't know it."
Hearing this, Zhu Qin felt relieved. These things were nothing to Xue Mingxuan, but Xue Minghui was her sister after all, and Xue Mingxuan couldn't just pretend not to care.
Zhu Qin didn't go to the Xue family, so she had no idea that Xue Mingxuan was so angry with Xue Minghui that she had a headache.
"Mom, what's wrong with you?" When Huo Yan came back, he saw his mother covering her head and his father rubbing Xue Mingxuan's head.
"Huo Yan, come here." Xue Mingxuan called Huo Yan over.
Even though Huo Yan is old, he has to behave himself in front of Xue Mingxuan.
"Has anyone done anything strange or said anything strange in front of you recently?"
Huo Yan said: "No, I've been busy with things at the base lately. I don't even have time to eat. How can I be in the mood to listen to what anyone says?"
Every day he was either with Shen Yan or in meetings outside, and his rest time was squeezed out.
"What happened?" He could see that his mother was really angry now.
The mother didn't want to say anything, so she looked at her father.
Huo Yucheng sighed: "Today your aunt came and said that you are so old and don't even have a woman. She has a lot of outstanding girls around her and wanted to introduce them to you. Then more than ten girls came in at once..."
Huo Yan sneered: "They are all women with Ruan Qiyu. Their family lives in chaos and now they want to mess up our family's life. Don't worry, mother, there won't be any questionable people around me."
Xue Mingxuan sneered. It was only in the past two years that Huo Yan began to mature. She didn't want to say a word about what he was like before.
Huo also knew the ridiculous things he had done before and begged for mercy: "I promise that I will behave myself in the future, so mom, you should go back and have a rest."
Huo Yucheng felt sorry for his wife and quickly took everyone upstairs to rest.
Huo Yan looked at his parents' backs and snorted in his heart. The Ruan family had been quiet for two years, and now they were making trouble again. He remembered that Ruan Qiyu liked Li Yao before.
He stared at the floor in front of him in a daze. After thinking for a while, he thought that the Ruan family lived too comfortably in the inner city. If he could get Xue Minghui to move out of the inner city on his own initiative.
Given her mother's personality, she will not care too much about Xue Minghui in the future.
The inner city would be bustling for a while again. Butler Huo brought the dinner that Xue Mingxuan had left for him. After eating, Huo Yan immediately went into the study.
Ask Huo Yan and a few others to come according to his own requirements.
After hearing this, Chu Chengcheng felt that it was all over.
In the past, when dealing with Xia Yu, he would just find a substitute from time to time.
Now he has to find several substitutes for Miss Li Yao at once. What's wrong with the young master? Is he crazy?
However, he knew that Mr. Shen Yan had liked Miss Li Yao, but he had never heard that Huo Yan also liked Miss Li Yao.
Strange, it's really strange.
Regardless of Chu Chengcheng's confusion, he had to finish what Huo Yan asked him to do as quickly as possible.
But when Chu Chengcheng started to do it, he realized how difficult it was. He knew how beautiful Li Yao was, but he couldn't find a woman who looked even slightly like Li Yao in the entire base.
Not to mention one that is 50% similar, I couldn’t even find one that is 30% similar.
When Huo Yan asked, Chu Chengcheng told the truth. Huo Yan remained silent: "Look slowly, you will find it eventually."
In the end, Chu Chengcheng actually found three similarities with Li Yao to varying degrees.
