Pei Qiyan: "I don't think Lin Xuqiu is a substitute. Yan Ci didn't show much love for Shen Yulan at the beginning. Is it necessary to find a substitute?"
Su Ze: "Luxury cars and mansions are given away at will, and the sales of Shen Yulan's first album were almost all covered by Yan Ci. Isn't this love?"
Pei Qiyan: "Superficial. The last thing Yan Ci lacks is money. Spending money to make someone happy doesn't necessarily mean love, it could just be a perfunctory gesture."
"Look at how much Yan Ci dotes on Lin Xuqiu now. He holds her in his hands for fear of dropping her, and holds her in his mouth for fear of her melting. He's become a devoted husband now. Does this look like a substitute's treatment?"
Luo Cheng: "You're right, I think so too. Now Yan Ci goes home every night and hardly attends our parties."
Su Ze glanced at Luo Cheng and said, "You're a fence-sitter. You clearly swore that Yan Ci had found a substitute for Shen Yulan to marry."
“…”
Ji Yufan looked at his brothers, who were arguing one after another about whether Lin Xuqiu was Shen Yulan's substitute, with confusion in his eyes.
"Just based on the resemblance, we can't judge it as a stand-in. Maybe Yan Ci likes this look?"
Su Ze had an expression that said, "You don't know something."
"Yufan, don't you think it's strange that Yanci got married suddenly?"
"He and Lin Xuqiu didn't even go on a blind date. He just looked at Lin Xuqiu's photo and agreed to get married straight away. We were all completely stunned at the time."
"In this case, it's highly likely that Lin Xuqiu is a substitute."
Ji Yufan thought of the day when Wen Yanci was drunk in the bar. He didn't know for whom it was for, but it didn't seem like it was for Shen Yulan. They had broken up for a long time, so it wouldn't happen now.
So he questioned again.
"Maybe Yan Ci and his current wife fell in love after getting married?"
Su Ze continued, "I didn't say Yan Ci doesn't love Lin Xuqiu. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Yan Ci loves Lin Xuqiu very much now. What we are discussing now is before marriage."
"No matter how much Yan Ci loves Lin Xuqiu after marriage, it doesn't mean that Lin Xuqiu wasn't Shen Yulan's stand-in in the early days. It can only be said that Lin Xuqiu succeeded in being a stand-in."
Ji Yufan suddenly realized and said.
"That being said, it's still a bit far-fetched."
"That's not a lie. Just look at Yan Ci's reaction. He avoids others mentioning Shen Yulan, and doesn't want people to say that Lin Xuqiu looks like Shen Yulan. What's going on? Yan Ci knows it in his heart."
Ji Yufan looked thoughtful.
He remembered that a few days ago, Yan Ci asked him to invest in Orange Records and also asked not to let anyone else invest. It just so happened that Orange Records was Shen Yulan's old employer.
What is Wen Yanci's purpose in doing this?
If he was worried that his current wife would find out about Shen Yulan's existence, why not just let Orange Records go bankrupt? Why bother to go through all the trouble of investing in this company?
He totally couldn't understand Yan Ci's thoughts.
The people nearby saw Ji Yufan frowning and looking bitter and resentful, so they laughed at him.
"Yufan, you're not still thinking about the topic just now, are you?"
"What's there to worry about? Just treat it as gossip. This is Yan Ci's private matter anyway. We just need to keep our mouths shut."
"Today is Aze's birthday, let's continue the toast."
The whole place became lively again and no one mentioned the previous topic anymore.
