Chapter 93 A Beauty Like You? Who's the Substitute?
"You'll see it when you turn around."
Sun Peiyu only heard a deep, piercing male voice behind her.
Her expression froze, and when she turned her head, she saw an exceptionally handsome man standing at the door.
He was tall and upright, and his expensive bespoke suit made him look even taller and more slender.
His facial features and contours are impeccable, and his temperament is refined, noble, and aloof.
Judging from his expression, he seemed to be in a bad mood and was quite impatient.
But when he heard Sun Peiyu's unpleasant words earlier, he still retorted with this comment.
His appearance immediately made him the center of attention.
Shen Li stared at the man at the door, somewhat stunned.
Qu Xiang asked her in a low voice, "Didn't you know Lu Yanchuan was coming?"
But even without Shen Li's reply, Qu Xiang could tell from the expression on her face that she knew nothing!
Immediately afterwards, Qu Xiang saw another figure appear beside the doorway.
The tall, slender man had a handsome face and seemed somewhat aloof.
It was Xie Yi'an, whom I hadn't seen in a long time.
He arrived at the door almost simultaneously with Lu Yanchuan.
So he probably heard the conversation that took place in the private room earlier.
At this moment, they are all standing at the door of the private room, in the same frame.
"You are..." someone recognized him. "Xie Yi'an? It's been so long!"
Qu Xiang stared at the doorway for a few seconds, then couldn't resist pulling Shen Li aside and whispering in his ear.
The voice was very soft, "Holy crap, what kind of hellish scene is this... you bastard..."
Qu Xiang lowered her voice even further, "...You're quite the player! I just realized they look so alike! You already knew how to play the 'similar beauty' role back in high school?!"
Qu Xiang found it hard to believe, and now she could only secretly rejoice that it seemed only she thought it was true.
Otherwise, the fact that the current husband and ex-boyfriend appeared together would already be enough of a chaotic scene.
If you also see a scene resembling a woman from another story...
Qu Xiang couldn't help but glance at Shen Li again. How come she never realized before that this guy was also an ability user?
They actually... they even write about body doubles?
Just as Qu Xiang kept silently chanting in her heart, "Don't let them see through me, don't let them see through me,"
I don't know which cheerful old classmate suddenly spoke up, and the tone wasn't even malicious.
Instead, she said in a tone that seemed...intrigued and amused, "Huh? Is it just my imagination? Why do I feel like Xie Yi'an and Shen Lijia look a bit alike?"
The room fell silent immediately after those words. Everyone sensed a hint of stand-in literature in the conversation.
Upon closer examination and piecing together the timeline, I was shocked to realize…! Does anyone in the family understand? Lu Yanchuan was actually the stand-in!
If people previously felt that Shen Li was humiliated and that her marriage was unhappy because a mistress had come to her door, then...
Now they only feel deep respect for Shen Li! My God! She actually used someone like Lu Yanchuan as a substitute?
Who is truly suffering this humiliation?
Shen Li, you really know how to have fun! Everyone secretly wanted to give Shen Li a thumbs up!
Lu Yanchuan had already walked up to Shen Li, but upon hearing this, he suddenly turned his gaze toward Xie Yi'an.
Previously, Lu Yanchuan hadn't paid much attention to Xie Yi'an's appearance.
The thought of gathering with Shen Li's ex-boyfriend made Lu Yanchuan inwardly laugh.
I feel like this is karma in this life... Is this some kind of karmic retribution?
Didn't he once bring Shen Li and Song Xiaowan together, making Shen Li feel very embarrassed...?
The wheel of fortune turns, and now it's his turn?
I hesitated for a moment about whether to come, but then I thought that Shen Li was open and aboveboard when facing Song Xiaowan, so there was nothing to hide from her.
What could he possibly hide from? Could it be any more embarrassing than that?
Therefore, this was what Lu Yanchuan thought before coming to the private room at Huaihe Garden.
Until I came here, until now, at this very moment.
Lu Yanchuan realized that there was something even more embarrassing than that!
Not only Lu Yanchuan. After hearing this, Xie Yi'an also glanced at Lu Yanchuan, her originally cold gaze now showing a thoughtful expression, before glancing at Shen Li.
Shen Li sat there, picking at the rhinestones on her armor, thinking to herself... I really shouldn't have come here today.
But we're all adults, so we don't show our emotions on our faces.
Lu Yanchuan's expression didn't change much as he pulled Shen Li to sit down on the sofa.
When Shen Li was pulled to sit down on the sofa, she was actually a little confused.
I had already heard them mention that Xie Yi'an would be coming today, so I was mentally prepared.
But Lu Yanchuan's arrival was completely unexpected!
After Shen Li sat down, she asked, "Why did you come..."
Lu Yanchuan still held her hand, his expression revealing nothing. "I was afraid you'd feel uncomfortable coming to the party by yourself, and besides, I happen to be an alumnus as well."
Shen Li pursed her lips, as if she wanted to say something, but couldn't find anything to say for the moment.
After a long pause, he could only manage a single, choked voice: "Thank you..."
Then she heard Lu Yanchuan say, "You'll have your chance to thank me someday."
It wasn't until she heard this sentence that Shen Li glimpsed some of the emotions hidden beneath Lu Yanchuan's calm exterior.
Shen Li thought for a moment, then muttered under her breath, "It's not like I asked you to come..."
Lu Yanchuan almost laughed out of anger at her.
He didn't say anything, but instead squeezed her hand harder, as if as a punishment.
But his movements quickly came to a halt, and his gaze fell on the ring on her ring finger.
Lu Yanchuan's eyebrows seemed to soften slightly, as if he was much more satisfied.
Shen Li could feel the force with which he pinched her hand as if punishing her, but to outsiders, it didn't look like that at all.
"Let Sun Peiyu and Teng Yunshan stop embarrassing themselves. The couple has a great relationship."
"Yes, we held hands as soon as we came in, and we kept holding on and never let go."
"Yeah, it's really going too far to bring up Shen Li and Xie Yi'an's past. High school was so many years ago."
"Her husband doesn't seem to mind, and Xie Yi'an doesn't seem to care much either, so others shouldn't make a fuss..."
Since they arrived last, the classmates naturally pulled them aside to drink and offer toasts.
Shen Li also brought Lu Yanchuan to Lao Jin, "Teacher, this is my husband, Lu Yanchuan."
Lu Yanchuan greeted, "Hello, teacher."
"Hello, you must be from Wusong's class, right?" Old Jin said with a smile.
Wu Song is the homeroom teacher of the international class.
Lu Yanchuan nodded. "Yes."
Old Jin's face remained as gentle and smiling as ever, but the question he asked took everyone by surprise.
Old Jin asked again, "Why are you so mean to our Xiao Li?"
