Chapter 43: Substitute



After sighing for a while, Shi Jin gathered his thoughts and clicked on the second part of the information.

Again, two photos popped up first, one of a man and one of a woman. The man looked familiar yet unfamiliar, his eyebrows and eyes resembled Shi Xingrui, but his features and temperament resembled the woman in the other photo, looking cold and unapproachable.

Shi Jin was stunned for a moment before he remembered that this man was the second son of the Shi family, the only one of the original owner's second brother Fei Yujing whom he had not met so far, the famous lawyer who always traveled around the world.

He looked carefully at the photo of Fei Yujing, who was smiling but had a cold look in his eyes, and frowned deeply when he remembered the second brother in the original owner's memory who seemed very kind and tolerant.

This Fei Yujing seemed to have two faces towards people.

No, to be precise, he had another face when facing the original owner. Those kindness and consideration that the original owner thought were probably just polite masks that Fei Yujing used to cover up his true inner emotions.

After looking at this second brother, Shi Jin moved his eyes to another photo of a woman.

The woman should be Fei Yujing's mother. Shi Jin looked at her appearance carefully and found that she was a woman of another style - different from the beauty of Shi Weichong's mother and the gentleness of Li Jiuzheng's mother, Fei Yujing's mother was very "fairy", no matter her appearance or temperament, she was a complete ice beauty.

These are the three styles, Shi Xingrui does not seem to have any specific preference for women.

Shi Jin doubted his previous guess more and more, frowned and continued to flip through the information.

Fei Yujing's mother is named Fei Lin. She was born in a slightly impoverished scholarly family in N City. One of her parents is an unknown painter and the other is a calligraphy teacher. Fei Lin herself has no interest in painting and calligraphy, and finally learned to dance.

She met Shi Xingrui at a charity performance. At that time, she was a new dancer who was optimistic about the industry. Shi Xingrui was a successful entrepreneur in his prime. The two fell in love at first sight and lived together a month after knowing each other. After living together for two months, Fei Lin became pregnant. After that, Shi Xingrui left N City and began to travel for a long time to discuss business and expand the company. Fei Lin interrupted her dance career and went home to take care of the baby. The two separated.

After Fei Yujing was born, Shi Xingrui went to N City to find Fei Lin once, and then the two had no contact with each other.

At the same time, around the time when Fei Lin was pregnant, the impoverished Fei family suddenly discovered a valuable collection of calligraphy and painting passed down from their ancestors. After selling it, the family's financial situation improved greatly.

Fei's father used the money to open an art gallery for himself, and Fei's mother opened a calligraphy and painting training class. After that, the Fei family seemed to have received the main role in the script. Fei's father's gallery became bigger and bigger, and now it is one of the top galleries in the industry. His own paintings have also been hyped up to sky-high prices. Fei's mother's calligraphy and painting training classes have also been opened more and more, becoming a golden signboard in the calligraphy and painting training industry, and making a lot of money and fame.

Compared with the glory of Fei's father and mother, Fei Lin, who gave birth to Fei Yujing, seemed much more low-key and dim. She stopped dancing, moved abroad, and devoted herself to raising Fei Yujing, and never returned to China.

Now she still lives in a beautiful town abroad, living a life that seems like seclusion.

There is no recent photo of Fei Lin at the end of this file. I think she rarely takes photos now. Except for her son Fei Yujing, she seems to be indifferent to everything.

After Shi Jin finished reading this part of the data, he silently questioned the "love at first sight" between Fei Lin and Shi Xingrui.

Combined with the time of the Fei family's rise in the data, Fei Lin at that time seemed to have made a deal with Shi Xingrui - she gave birth to a child for Shi Xingrui and raised him up, and Shi Xingrui helped her turn her family around and helped Fei's father and mother get the success they wanted.

Of course, this is just Shi Jin's own guess. What was the truth of that year, now only the parties involved know.

After summarizing the second part of the information, Shi Jin continued to open the third part.

Not surprisingly, photos of Rong Zhouzhong and a woman popped up together.

Shi Jin quickly skipped the photo of Rong Zhouzhong who was so handsome and looked at the photo of his mother.

The woman in the photo has peach blossom eyes, an oval face, amorous eyes, and a bit of charm in her innocent expression. It is an appearance that is very attractive to men. Rong Zhouzhong is not surprisingly more like his mother, but because he is a man and deliberately restrained, his charm and charm are much less, which makes him look more attractive.

Shi Jin is now very sure that he must have guessed wrong before. Shi Xingrui has no special preference for women. He is more like collecting stamps. He picks women of different styles and then gives birth to a child with each of them. He

is a real stud.

With this feeling, Shi Jin slid the photo and revealed the information behind it.

Rong Zhouzhong's mother is named Rong Xili. She was born in a small county town in China. She was a beauty since she was a child. She went out to the society before she reached adulthood. By chance, she became an actress, but she was never popular. Her acting style was also very fixed. Eight out of ten roles were villains.

At a certain business event, Shi Xingrui, who was already a big boss at the time, somehow took a fancy to Rong Xili, kept her for a while, and spent money to make her a little famous. A few months later, Rong Xili became pregnant and temporarily withdrew from the entertainment industry. The popularity she had just gathered quickly dissipated.

After ten months of pregnancy, Rong Zhouzhong was born. Shi Xingrui quickly ended his relationship with Rong Xili and left without a care. However, he was not too heartless. Before leaving, he invested heavily in a movie tailor-made for Rong Xili.

After giving birth, Rong Xili became famous with this movie and won the Best Actress Award. However, after winning the award, she did not continue to fight for it. Instead, she retired at the height of her career and retreated behind the scenes. She started her own entertainment company and signed new people as a boss. Now, decades later, her company has become a giant company in the entertainment industry, and she has long been living a carefree life.

So Rong Zhouzhong is not only a Best Actor, but also has a Best Actor mother. She is actually a second-generation star with a strong backstage?

Shi Jin raised his hand to wipe his face, helpless about the lack of information in the original plot.

In the entertainment industry, where information is almost transparent, there is no information about Rong Zhouzhong's mother in the original owner's memory. Should we say that Shi Xingrui protected the original owner too carefully, or should we say that the original owner was too careless.

But it's not just the original owner, in fact, he is also very careless. You know, he once sneaked into Rong Zhouzhong's fan site and talked to Rong Zhouzhong's illegitimate fans, but he didn't know at all that Rong Zhouzhong's mother was also in the entertainment industry.

Too careless.

He reflected on himself, and then turned to the next part of the information.

The photo of Xiang Aoting and his mother popped up.

Xiang Aoting's mother has a dignified appearance, an intellectual temperament, and is also a very pleasing beauty. But unfortunately, Xiang Aoting looks more like Shi Xingrui and did not inherit his mother's dignified and intellectual beauty.

Shi Jin only took a quick look at the photo of Xiang Aoting's mother this time and turned to the information page at the back.

Xiang Aoting's mother is named Xiang Qing. She was born in G City. One of her parents is a policeman and the other is a nurse. The family's occupational structure makes people feel safe. Xiang Qing herself is a student of the Teachers College. If she can graduate smoothly, she should become an excellent teacher.

But unfortunately, she did not complete her studies. In her junior year, her father died on duty, her mother unfortunately fell ill, and her underage sister was too stimulated and had mental problems. In order to take care of her relatives, she resolutely gave up her studies. At the end of

the year when she gave up her studies, she met Shi Xingrui. It was still the old-fashioned love at first sight. The two quickly lived together. At the beginning of the second year, Xiang Qing became pregnant, but probably because she was too tired to take care of her mother and sister, she miscarried in the third month of pregnancy.

Afterwards, Shi Xingrui waved his hand and sent Xiang Qing's mother and sister to the best hospital and nursing home, and then kept Xiang Qing as a treasure. In the second half of this year, Xiang Qing became pregnant again, her sister finally recovered from the disease and returned to school to study hard, her mother's condition also improved, and the family situation finally improved slowly.

After Xiang Qing's pregnancy was stable, Shi Xingrui left, and left cleanly and neatly. He didn't come back to see Xiang Qing until she gave birth to Xiang Aoting, and then he cut off contact with Xiang Qing again.

In the same year that Xiang Aoting was born, Xiang Qing's sister got a precious admission quota and entered a top university in the country without any trouble. After that, she went smoothly all the way and worked hard to further her studies. Now she is the person in charge of a major official scientific research project. She has trained a large number of talents and has a lot of say in scientific research.

At the same time, Xiang Qing continued her studies after giving birth to Xiang Aoting, and now she is a college teacher in a certain university.

Xiang Qing and her sister are both lifelong unmarried. The two sisters put all their energy into their careers and gave all their love to Xiang Aoting.

Shi Jin looked at the recent photos of Xiang Aoting's mother and her sister, and his brows were always wrinkled.

It was more obvious that there was a feeling of transaction.

In order to confirm this feeling, he quickly looked at the next part of the information.

The fifth file belongs to Li Jiuzheng and his mother. Li Jiuzheng's mother is called Li Yuewei. She looks gentle and lovable, and her personality is also weak. She is a native of Chengdu. Her parents run a small hotel and her family is well-off.

Li Yuewei met Shi Xingrui at a joint university lecture. At that time, Shi Xingrui was a representative of successful people and she was a volunteer who was receiving them.

The data shows that the two fell in love soon after they met. A few months later, Li Yuewei became pregnant. Despite her parents' opposition, she dropped out of school and kept the child.

After dropping out of school, Li Yuewei moved directly into the house that Shi Xingrui bought for her. Shi Xingrui doted on her for a while, giving her almost everything she wanted, but this doting suddenly ended after Li Jiuzheng was born.

Li Yuewei still had everything she wanted, but she could never see Shi Xingrui again - yes, Shi Xingrui patted his butt and left again after Li Jiuzheng was born.

The subsequent plot is that Li Yuewei waited foolishly for Shi Xingrui to come back in Rongcheng, but Shi Xingrui never went to see her. Li Yuewei even tried to take the initiative to find Shi Xingrui, but Shi Xingrui never saw her. In fact, every time Li Yuewei looked for him, he would ignore his son Li Jiuzheng for a long time. Gradually, Li Yuewei stopped looking for him and concentrated on waiting for Shi Xingrui in Rongcheng.

Shi Jin felt very strange and read this part of the information again and again.

No, that obvious feeling of a transaction was gone. Unlike the mothers and maternal families of the other brothers, the Li family did not get any benefits from Shi Xingrui after Li Yuewei and Shi Xingrui got together, nor after Li Jiuzheng was born. Even to this day, the Li family’s parents don’t even run the small hotel. They sold the hotel early and lived out their old age. Shi Xingrui had funded the

maternal families of the previous women, but the Li family was an exception. Why? Shi Jin

frowned, and roughly flipped through the previous parts of the information, and then discovered a phenomenon - the mothers of the first four brothers, after Shi Xingrui patted their butts and left, none of them took the initiative to look for Shi Xingrui, and their attitudes were very neat and resolute. But Li Yuewei is not like that. She loves Shi Xingrui very much and can't stand being abandoned. She wants to find Shi Xingrui back.

So this is why the Li family didn't get the funding? Because Li Yuewei is too clingy? Shi Jin

's expression was distorted, as if he had eaten shit.

Combined with the situation of the mothers of the previous brothers, it seems that Li Yuewei didn't have any deal with Shi Xingrui. It seems that she was unilaterally deceived by Shi Xingrui.

Shi Xingrui, this stud, is really a scumbag...

A pair of chopsticks suddenly stretched out in front of him. Shi Jin was stunned for a moment and then came to his senses and looked at the person who handed the chopsticks.

Lian Jun waved his chopsticks, pointed at the breakfast that had been placed on the rattan table, and said, "Eat something first, then read on."

"Uh... thank you." Shi Jin took the chopsticks and glanced at the steaming breakfast on the table. Only then did he slowly withdraw his thoughts from the information and said embarrassedly, "Sorry, I was so engrossed in reading that I forgot you hadn't had breakfast yet."

"It's okay." Lian Jun poured him a glass of juice, moved the tablet aside, and said, "Eat quickly, it will hurt your stomach if you eat it after it gets cold."

Shi Jin responded, picked up the juice at hand and took a sip, then realized belatedly - why did Lian Jun's words sound a little familiar? Isn't this what he always said when he persuaded Lian Jun to eat? And what's going on now? Lian Jun ordered breakfast for him? He even brought him chopsticks and poured juice?

Is Lian Jun serving him breakfast now? He actually let his boss serve him breakfast!

"Cough cough cough cough——" Shi Jin was frightened by what he had imagined in his mind. He sipped the juice gloriously and covered his mouth with his hands and coughed loudly.

Lian Jun glanced at him, reached out and pulled his hand down, took out a piece of paper and wiped the juice from the corners of his mouth and hands. His movements were very natural, and he said, "Eat slowly, no one is rushing you." After that, he considerately moved some snacks in front of him.

Shi Jin's body was stiff. He recalled the feeling of Lian Jun wiping his mouth corner just now. He poked Xiao Si in his heart and asked fearfully: "What happened to Lian Jun? Why did he suddenly become so amiable and caring for his subordinates? Is he possessed?"

Xiao Si replied happily: "Because the baby loves you. The baby loves Jin Jin the most. You are the baby's little baby."

Shi Jin was silent and decided to lock Xiao Si in a small dark room for a while to calm it down. Then he glanced at the expression on Lian Jun's face that was no different from usual. He suspected that he was too sensitive, shook his head, and concentrated on eating breakfast.

After breakfast, Shi Jin invited Lian Jun to go around the island. Lian Jun said that he had an urgent matter to deal with in the morning and could only go out in the afternoon.

Shi Jin immediately understood that Lian Jun was considerate of his desire to finish reading the materials. He said nothing, but was deeply moved. He personally sent Lian Jun to the study and settled him down. After flattering him a few times, he returned to his own study and continued reading the materials. Shi Jin

opened the tablet, turned the page, and then unexpectedly found that the fifth part of the materials was not finished yet, and there was a little more content at the end.

He quickly browsed through the rest of the content and found that this was actually Li Jiuzheng's growth trajectory. The data showed that Li Jiuzheng had enjoyed the best resources and received the best care since he was born. After deciding to study medicine, he quickly worshipped Sun Lao, a famous old doctor in Rongcheng, as his master. These things were definitely not something that the Li family and Li Yuewei could afford or give at the time.

Not only that, because Li Yuewei didn't know how to take care of people and had some mental problems, Li Jiuzheng was actually raised by nannies, and these nannies were all hired by Shi Xingrui.

And the data showed that after accepting Li Jiuzheng as his apprentice, Rongcheng Sun Lao's family had been developing better and better in recent years. Li Jiuzheng's private hospital was able to open, thanks to the resources and support of this master.

Shi Jin roughly understood the significance of this part of the data - this part of the data was to tell him that the Li family did not get the benefits given by Shi Xingrui, but Rongcheng Sun Lao's family, who cultivated and helped Li Jiuzheng and treated Li Jiuzheng as their own grandson, got it.

So far, the data of the five brothers and their respective mothers' families have been completely flipped through. Shi Jin looked at the last part of the data and roughly guessed what it was. He hesitated for a while before clicking it.

Two photos popped up again, one was of the original owner as a child, and the other was of a young woman with gentle features and a friendly temperament. Shi

Jin sighed - as expected, this last part of the information belonged to the original owner's mother. He did not ask Lian Jun to help him check this, but Lian Jun still checked it thoughtfully.

The original owner's mother was very beautiful, and her facial features were beautiful no matter whether they were separated or combined together, and her beauty was impeccable.

Shi Jin felt very complicated.

He looked exactly like the original owner, but he didn't know what his biological mother looked like. He was an adopted child. His adoptive parents loved him very much, but they didn't look like him at all, so he knew from a young age that he was adopted.

Since he looks exactly like the original owner, then in his previous life, would his biological mother also look exactly like the original owner...

"Xiao Si, why do I look exactly like the original owner, even the mole on the nose is exactly the same, do you know the reason?" He couldn't help but ask.

Xiao Si was silent, as if he didn't hear the question. Shi

Jin was also silent, guessing that he would not answer. After staring at the photo for a while, he gathered his thoughts and continued to read the information.

The original owner's mother was named Yun Jin. She was an abandoned orphan who grew up in an orphanage. The year Shi Xingrui met her, she was just about to leave the orphanage to live independently.

She was really special. After Shi Xingrui met her, he immediately showed an almost uncontrollable enthusiasm. He even stopped all his official duties and stayed in that small town for half a year. Only after he caught up with her did he take her back to his home in City B with satisfaction.

After the two were together, Shi Xingrui was radiant. He brought her into his world and announced that she was his fiancée. He even ordered a wedding dress and ring for her and prepared to marry her. Unfortunately, Yun Jin got pregnant unexpectedly before the wedding could be prepared.

After Yun Jin got pregnant, she rested and took care of the baby. Shi Xingrui was afraid that she would be tired, so he suspended the wedding plan. He also restrained all his bad qualities and accompanied Yun Jin like a good husband, taking care of her throughout her pregnancy.

After Shi Jin was born, Shi Xingrui did not abandon his wife and son like he did before. He changed from a good husband to a good husband and father, taking care of Yun Jin and Shi Jin himself.

But the good times did not last long. Yun Jin died not long after giving birth to Shi Jin. Shi Xingrui was depressed for a long time. After he cheered up, he immediately named Shi Jin, who had not been named at the time, and raised him carefully by his side. From

then on, he never messed with other women again. Shi Jin silently recited the two names "Yun Jin" and "Shi Jin", raised his hands and rubbed his face hard.

It is undeniable that the original owner and the original owner's mother are indeed special to Shi Xingrui.

But he doesn't quite understand the origin of this specialness. Is it just because the original owner's mother is particularly beautiful? It's not easy to change the nature of a scumbag. The original owner's mother is pretty, but she doesn't seem to be much prettier than the mothers of the other brothers, right?

Why?

He unconsciously turned out the photo of the original owner's mother again, carefully looking at the gentle and beautiful woman in the photo, his eyes swept over her eyebrows and eyes that were very similar to Li Jiuzheng's mother, and then slowly swept over her nose and mouth. As he looked, he couldn't help but sit up straight with surprise in his eyes.

Wait, the original owner's mother doesn't seem to just look like Li Jiuzheng's mother, her lips seem to be a bit similar to Rong Xili, Rong Zhouzhong's mother. Both of them have beautiful kissable lips, but Rong Xili's lips are fuller, and the original owner's mother's lips are slightly thinner and lighter in color.

Some clues emerged, Shi Jin hurriedly flipped back to look at the photos of several other mothers, and then compared them one by one with the photos of the original owner's mother. Finally, he couldn't help but move a computer over, import all these photos, and analyze them with facial recognition software.

An hour later, Shi Jin looked at the six photos of women lined up on the computer desktop, each marked with analysis, and felt a little numb on his back - except for Shi Wei Chong's mother, the mothers of other people actually have some similarities with the original owner's mother in appearance, whether obvious or not.

For example, Fei Lin, the mother of Fei Yujing, has no similarities with the original owner's mother in general, but if the facial models of the two are slightly sideways, it will be found that the curvature of their profiles is almost the same.

Rong Zhouzhong's mother is even more obvious, her lips are very similar to the original owner's mother's lips. Xiang Aoting's mother Xiang Qing's nose shape and facial contour are very similar to the original owner's mother. Needless to say, Li Jiuzheng's mother has almost the same eyebrows and eyes as the original owner's mother.

"What is Shi Xingrui doing..." Shi Jin fell on the sofa, looking at the photos of these women. What he had only vaguely realized before finally became clear now, "Is he looking for a substitute for someone, and then wants to have a child who looks like the substitute?" Those who don't look like the substitute will all be thrown to the mother to raise?

Wait!

He suddenly realized something more terrifying-all the children born by Shi Xingrui are sons, and there is not a single daughter. This is almost impossible in terms of probability.

He suddenly remembered the first child that Xiang Aoting's mother Xiang Qing aborted, and felt a little creepy.

If the child was not a spontaneous abortion but an artificial one... Could it be that Shi Xingrui was looking for a female substitute who looked like a man? Or even wanted to copy the man by having a child?

Then Yun Jin and the original owner, who Shi Xingrui loved the most... Shi Jin's heart trembled, and he felt that a huge conspiracy was coming towards him, making him feel dizzy and want to vomit.
