Chapter 36 Identity



Xia Xingchi watched as he woke up and saw that the public opinion on the Internet had suddenly reversed. He was instantly delighted and naturally knew who was behind this.

This feeling of "my parents will bully me back" always makes people feel extremely happy no matter how many times they experience it. The corners of Xia Xingchi's mouth almost curled up to the sky, and he tilted his head to look at Li Chengyuan.

The man still had a calm expression, as if he had just completed an ordinary task. He seemed a little uncomfortable being looked at by Xia Xingchi, so he put his hand on his head and asked him to turn around and not look.

Xia Xingchi had no choice but to continue looking at his phone.

While everyone was shocked and disgusted by Xia Yu's true face and full of speculation about Xia Xingchi's true identity, Li Chengyuan's fans were most concerned about the male god's body:

[Baby Xingchi, please tell us how President Li is doing. I’m so worried.]

[Nothing must happen, please! Handsome guys won't die! 】

[It's definitely okay now. This PR speed shows that Mr. Li used his money to help Xingchi remove the black trending searches.]

[I hope so.] But I still want to get a definite answer, I'm really worried, this is cardiac arrest, it's too serious, I'm so scared]

[Are you really okay?] Are they trying to whitewash the situation? I'm so nervous. Why is there no definite news even if he's rescued? 】

[I sent private messages to the medical staff who claimed to be involved in the rescue, but received no response]

......

No wonder they were worried. Although Xia Xingchi’s negative hot searches had disappeared, the speculative entry “Li Chengyuan is suspected to have died due to failed rescue” was still not far away from the hot search list.

Seeing these words put together makes people uncomfortable. Xia Xingchi said unhappily:

"Why don't you remove this too? It's too unlucky."

Li Chengyuan glanced at the phone screen indifferently, obviously not caring at all. Instead, he said with a smile: "Xia Xingchi, you care too much about your boss."

It seems that the word "boss" is emphasized intentionally or unintentionally, and the implication is obviously that someone not only treats him as a boss, but also has some other feelings for him.

Xia Xingchi was stunned. After he understood what he meant, he suddenly felt inexplicably flustered and embarrassed as if he had been exposed. He subconsciously denied it:

"I don't care! I'm just worried that your fans will be sad... You black-hearted capitalist have exploited me for my entire life, and you can still do whatever you want! If you die, I'll be free."

Li Chengyuan smiled faintly, not exposing the expression of "I want to continue working" on Xia Xingchi's face, but just said:

"You can let your fans know that you are safe."

Xia Xingchi decided to take a photo or record a short video of Li Chengyuan.

Just as I was thinking about which angle would be the best to let everyone appreciate their broken and beautiful male god, I saw Li Chengyuan stretch out his hand and said concisely:

"Just take a picture of the ring. Come over and take pictures with us."

Xia Xingchi then realized that the rope that could no longer be used to hang the pigeon egg around his neck had been broken, and it had grown legs and moved from the bedside table to his middle finger.

Most likely it was Li Chengyuan who did it while I was asleep.

Xia Xingchi stared helplessly at the ring on his hand, thinking that the villain had finally got what he wanted.

Not only did she take the initiative to announce her engagement loudly in front of the camera, but now she is finally showing her love to the people of the whole country.

Li Chengyuan's fingers are very long, with distinct joints, beautiful and strong, and his cold white skin doesn't even require a skin-smoothing or whitening filter.

In order to prevent fans from continuing to guess whether he was still unconscious, Xia Xingchi decided to press his head and make a stupid "heart" gesture with him for a photo, and he then took another photo while holding Xia Xingchi's hand.

A simple message was edited to tell everyone not to worry and that Li Chengyuan was fine. As soon as it was sent out, it caused a sensation.

[Oh my god, this is great. I am finally relieved.]

[嘤嘤嘤Are all handsome guys’ hands so beautiful? Their hands are simply amazing]

[The couple rings are in the same frame!] Who stuffed dog food into my mouth! 】

[Hehehe, Xing Chi finally admitted it. He stopped pretending that he didn’t know him and called him “Mr. Li”? 】

[I don’t want to look at the ring, I want to look at the person! You two have never been in the same frame! Please take a photo and give me some candy! 】

Xia Xingchi tilted his head. He couldn’t understand why Li Chengyuan didn’t appear on camera.

The villain has always been naturally beautiful and he still looks good even when he is sick. Besides, he doesn’t care about his useless image anyway, so why can’t he just shoot a video and show his face?

As expected, some people will find fault and raise doubts:

[Only clap with one hand?] Who can prove whether this hand belongs to Li Chengyuan? 】

[This is so suspicious. They’ve already filmed a reality show. They’re not going to be low-key and not show their faces now, are they? Is the person really still alive? 】

[Those who know about the bloody affairs of wealthy families know all about it. Could it be that Li Chengyuan is already dead, and Xia Xingchi is lying in order to stabilize the situation?]

[That’s enough, this is Mr. Li’s hand, okay? Hardcore fans can easily recognize it]

[I don’t believe it.] There are so many people in the world who have hands that look alike. Even if he has six fingers, he can find a replacement as long as he has money.]

......

The more Xia Xingchi looked at it, the more confused he became. He suddenly felt that Li Chengyuan did this on purpose so that people wouldn't know whether he was dead or not.

As expected of a villain, he can be as bad as two people when he wants to scare people. You can tell without asking that he is trying to scare Li Shengrui and Xia Yu.

The effect was indeed excellent. In a humble hotel, Xia Yu was talking to Li Shengrui in a panic:

"Who knows if he is really alive or if Xia Xingchi is just playing tricks! Maybe he is already dead, and Xia Xingchi is just using him as a shield to bully others!"

The news of Li Chengyuan's successful rescue was like a bolt from the blue for the two men, and endless troubles followed.

But this news happened to appear in such a seemingly plausible way, which made them confused and full of suspicion.

"He's probably not dead," Li Shengrui thought for a moment and asked, "Did you really put the whole bag of medicine in? Are you sure it's okay?"

"Of course! I'm even more scared than you that I can't kill him with the poison!" Xia Yu said angrily, "You think it's my fault now? It's all because of your unreliable medicine that I'm doomed as well!"

Li Shengrui became angry upon hearing this. No one wants to be accused without reason.

If we really want to find out why Li Chengyuan didn't die, instead of suspecting that there is something wrong with the highly lethal poison such as high-purity aconitine, it would be better to suspect that Xia Yu spilled some of it due to nervous tremors.

Besides, he had clearly told him not to poison Li Chengyuan when he had stomach problems.

Li Chengyuan has a sensitive physique and a shallow stomach. If stimulated by a little poison, he would even vomit and become dehydrated. It was obvious that Xia Yu himself did not choose the right time.

Unexpectedly, before Li Shengrui could open his mouth to accuse him, Xia Yu suddenly said:

"I don't believe Li Chengyuan is not dead. Li Shengrui, did the police really not contact you? Or are you lying to me?"

Even if Li Shengrui was just a cheap illegitimate half-child, he was still Li Chengyuan's nominal "brother". If he died, the police might notify him.

"No!" Li Shengrui was accused and suspected again and again, and said angrily, "He must not be dead yet!"

In fact, Li Shengrui himself was not sure. Although their relationship was bad, he and Li Chengyuan grew up under the same roof.

He knew best how cold-blooded and heartless Li Chengyuan was. Why would the first thing he did after waking up be to send messages to show his love and take sweet photos holding hands?

Is it really Xia Xingchi who is bluffing for safety, or is it Li Chengyuan who is deliberately scaring people to make them lose their composure?

The more Li Shengrui thought about it, the more annoyed he became. Hearing Xia Yu still panicking and accusing on the other end of the phone, he felt that he was more vicious and stupid.

In comparison, Xia Xingchi is better than Xia Yu in every way, both in appearance and personality, and is much more likable than him.

This thought made Li Shengrui lose his balance. He had almost developed the habit of comparing himself with Li Chengyuan since he was a child.

The disgraceful identity of an illegitimate child made him feel inferior and gradually distorted. Even when the servants occasionally called Li Chengyuan "Young Master" instead of "Second Young Master" would make Li Shengrui instantly doubt that his identity was not recognized.

What’s even more hateful is that Li Chengyuan is better than him in everything. He has outstanding abilities and excellent grades, and he won numerous awards during his student days.

Moreover, he even looks exceptionally good. Although he is a half-dead sickly person with a cold and arrogant personality, he is still admired and loved by everyone.

Even though he later took away everything Li Chengyuan had, making his life extremely miserable, I thought he would go completely crazy.

Who could have thought that he would be able to struggle again, even succeed in seizing power and increase his family fortune many times over.

The more Li Shengrui thought about it, the angrier he became. When he thought about how he couldn't even find a partner as good as Li Chengyuan's, he disliked Xia Yu more and more.

But he could only continue to comfort Xia Yu hypocritically, and at the same time coaxed:

"How about this, Ayu? We can get the certificate when you return to the capital."

"...But in order to prevent the police from suspecting you, we must first destroy all the evidence."

When Xia Yu heard the word "marriage", he finally calmed down a little, and a calculating look appeared in his eyes.

He finally compromised and said coquettishly:

"Okay. I'll delete the recording right now, but you can't lie to me!"

——It is impossible to delete it, and a backup copy must be made in order to continue to control Li Shengrui.

.

It was already past one in the afternoon when Xia Xingchi finished the takeaway in a flash. Ever since Li Chengyuan entered the emergency room, he had no mood or time to eat. Now he could eat as much as a cow.

Unfortunately, he was sitting at the table to eat, and Li Chengyuan, as the host, could only sit on the bed and watch. He could only have a few sips after the millet porridge cooled down.

——He vomited until he had mild gastric bleeding, and the doctor told him that he could only drink cold liquid food today.

Xia Xingchi said distressedly: "When we get back, I will make you something delicious. I guarantee it will be better than those chefs! ...Speaking of which, when are we going home?"

Li Chengyuan was stunned at the word "go home" for a moment, but then he was obviously pleased by this sentence and smiled faintly: "I'll leave after you finish your meal."

Xia Xingchi hummed. It sounded too casual and like a joke, but he knew Li Chengyuan was serious.

Just when I was lying on the bed and refusing to get up, trying to sleep for a while, I heard Li Chengyuan instructing Secretary Ye on the phone:

"You don't need to come over. Go and inform Xiao Wu to apply for the flight route. I'm going back to Beijing today."

Then I received a call from Zhao Yinhe. The eldest son Zhao on the other end of the phone really looked serious like a doctor:

"I have already completed the transfer procedures for you. Please send me today's examination results so that I can confirm whether you can get on the plane."

After all, it was thousands of miles away. The less Zhao Yinhe could see, the more he doubted the level of medical equipment in this remote little city, and he wished he could come and see it in person.

But he was too busy to spare any time. As soon as he heard about the accident yesterday, he immediately ran around to contact the top heart experts, and today he completed all the transfer procedures.

We will wait until Li Chengyuan is out of danger and able to move, and then transfer him back to the hospital so that we can give him a comprehensive check-up to find out why he suddenly became ill.

Xia Xingchi naturally wanted him to return to the capital as soon as possible. He was unfamiliar with the place and didn't even dare to hire a caregiver, for fear that some unruly people would sneak in and poison his big cat.

.

When Lin Meng heard the news that they were about to set off, she had just finished the work at hand and was coordinating the follow-up work with the program team.

The filming of a reality show almost resulted in such a thrilling accident. In addition, Xia Yu's character collapsed and Xia Xingchi's identity was exposed. With so many things going on, it was naturally impossible to continue filming.

Fortunately, the ratings and popularity instantly reached the national peak. Although the show was temporarily suspended, there was no major loss.

Xia Xingchi pricked up his ears and was happy to hear that he did not lose money - after all, he still remembered that Li Chengyuan had invested in this reality show.

Li Chengyuan smiled when he heard this, thinking that it was just a small amount of money to entertain Xia Xingchi. His little money-grubber really remembered it well.

So he whispered coaxingly: "The surplus from this investment will be transferred to your salary card."

Xia Xingchi was originally looking around to admire Li Chengyuan's private jet. When he heard Qian's voice, he immediately perked up and said excitedly:

"Really? I won't refuse you if you say that!"

Seeing that he was so easy to coax and looked very cute with his dimples on his face, Li Chengyuan couldn't help but raise his hand and pinch Xia Xingchi's soft and warm earlobe with his cold fingertips.

Xia Xingchi shivered all over when he was pinched. He was clearly told not to touch this place before, but this sensitive spot felt numb as if it was hit, and his whole body felt weak when it was stimulated by this action.

But the villain never learns his lesson and always can't help stretching out his claws to pinch.

"Why are you doing this again!" Xia Xingchi immediately said angrily.

If he had not just received a reward from a wealthy sponsor, he would have pounced on Li Chengyuan and crushed him to death because he suspected that Li Chengyuan did it on purpose.

But now, seeing that he was about to make some money, he decided not to argue with Li Chengyuan and hid far away, then jumped up and went to drink a drink.

Lin Meng, who was sitting not far away and decided not to be a light bulb, was stunned when she saw this flirting scene. The only words left in her mind were "I bumped into you".

She has always been a member of the CP fan army, but compared to other sisters who are happy to eat sugar, Lin Meng always wants to eat but feels awkward——

When she thought about the fact that they were just hired stand-ins for money, she couldn't help but cry for their sadomasochistic love.

Although in melodramatic love stories it is said that the domineering CEO will always fall in love with a substitute, the novel also says that the elusive white moonlight will come back at this time.

When Xia Xingchi was asked "Are you in love with President Li?", he insisted on not admitting it.

There is no need to ask now. The one sitting at the door of the emergency room crying and snotting is obviously the little stand-in who has fallen in love without knowing it.

Li Chengyuan's eyes slowly turned around, and suddenly he asked expressionlessly: "Did he tell you that he was a stand-in?"

Lin Meng was immediately startled.

Although she was obsessed with the couple, she was immediately frightened when the boss suddenly spoke to her and asked a terrifying question that could kill her. She didn't dare to speak, and wondered how Li Chengyuan could be so perceptive that he could tell what she was thinking at a glance.

"Don't be nervous," Li Chengyuan took a sip of warm water and said calmly, "This little idiot thinks he is just a substitute. He is the one I am looking for, but he has forgotten everything."

Lin Meng's fear instantly gave way to a sense of gossip, and she was quite shocked by the huge amount of information.

God knows how many times she thought the script had changed. One moment it was a tragic love triangle between a beautiful boy, a wicked old man from a wealthy family, and a handsome driver. The next moment he became the substitute lover of a scumbag financial sponsor.

Who would have thought that the one who actually got the stamp of approval from the other male lead was the silly amnesiac runaway sweetheart? The substitute sadomasochistic script in my hand suddenly tasted like a huge piece of sugar.

"I only give him a 'salary' to please him. In fact, all my property belongs to him."

Not only was it all given to him, but it was also earned for Xia Xingchi from the very beginning.

After all, more than ten years ago, Li Chengyuan knew that Xia Xingchi was a money-grubber.

No one could have imagined that this business legend himself had no interest in money, but he made so much money just because he thought someone would like it.

Then he waited every day for the liar who had cheated him of all his money and ran away to fulfill his promise and come back to him.

In fact, if Li Chengyuan really died in the emergency room, the property would not have gone to Li Shengrui according to the legal order of inheritance - he had already made a will and left everything to Xia Xingchi.

Xia Xingchi was studying the ice cream machine on the plane in the distance, happily trying the strawberry-vanilla mixed cone. He couldn't come back for a while, and couldn't hear the conversation between the two.

Lin Meng was hit hard on the head by the giant candy. After being stunned for a long time, he asked carefully:

"But...Mr. Li, haven't you already married the young master of the Xia family?"

As everyone knows, the Xia family has only one young master, Xia Yu.

Li Chengyuan pursed his lips slightly, then raised his hand to signal Lin Meng to look at his phone.

Confused, Lin Meng took out her phone and looked down. While she was shocked that there was WiFi on the plane, she also found that the hot search had ushered in a new round of earth-shaking bombardment:

#Xia Xingchi: The wealthy young master on the run#

#Decathlon all-round low-key nobleman#

#Xia Xingchi: This is what it means to truly rely on yourself#

#Xia Xingchi and Xia Yu's relationship revealed#

......

Lin Meng could hardly believe her eyes.

She never imagined that the poor little girl around her who was so poor that she could barely afford to eat was actually a rich second-generation from a wealthy family, and was from the same family as Xia Yu, who was so glamorous and always showing off his wealth.

[Oh my God, isn’t Xia Xingchi a vegetable seller in the mountains? how so? 】

[But those photos are indeed real. If he is really the son of the Xia family, how could this happen? 】

[Who can give an explanation?] Why is it that Xia Yu spends money like water and shows off his wealth every day, while Xing Chi is poor and destitute and can be bullied by anyone? Xia Jia, are you fucking sick? 】

[Damn, Xia Yu is still marketing the persona of “the inspirational rich second generation who doesn’t rely on his family” all day long, then what about our Xing Chi? My fucking fist is hard.]

[Real Inspiration VS False Inspiration]

[I see. You want to steal your brother’s boyfriend, right? @夏喻, you are really good at green tea.]

[Not only that, they bought black hot searches to throw dirty water on Xia Xingchi and asked the company to hide him. The Internet is not without memory.]

[No wonder Mr. Li doesn't let that bitch Xia Yu get close to him. This kind of person is so disgusting. Is this a "naive young master"? [Li's disdain.GIF]】

......

The trending search caused a huge storm. Xia Yu stared at his phone and read the comments one by one, gritting his teeth in hatred and feeling terrified.

What he cares about most is his face and reputation. He has been accustomed to using despicable means of bullying over the years, and no one has ever dared to compete with him.

Therefore, he never expected that Xia Xingchi, the most insignificant waste, would actually hit a wall for him.

The more he looked at it, the angrier he became, and he began to tremble all over, resentful that Xia Xingchi should never have existed.

He has clearly been the only young master of the Xia family for all these years. How could such a worthless poor guy be compared with him?

How could he snatch away his identity and all the reputation he was proud of? Why should this bastard be on equal footing with him?

——If it weren’t for Xia Xingchi, I should have married Li Chengyuan.

——I will definitely be able to obtain this unparalleled protection and favor, and gain the most enviable status and wealth.

But now everything is gone, with only an endless stream of negative revelations and his constant fear of being discovered by the police for his crime of poisoning.

What frightened him the most was that once everyone discovered the truth about the true and false young master's identities, this sinful identity would inevitably lead to endless insults.

Everyone will find out that he is just a pheasant that has occupied the phoenix's nest, and everything will be restored to its original state. His previous personality marketing will become an eternal laughing stock.

The more Xia Yu thought about it, the more terrified he became. He almost trembled all over at the unimaginable scene and wanted to rush over and cover everyone's mouths like a madman.

Li Chengyuan has always been heartless. Although the villain boss has restrained his character because he found the person he had been thinking about day and night and did not end up being a madman, his behavior style is still bad and full of villain connotations.

He was slow and did not immediately reveal the truth that Xia Yu wanted to hide the most and did not want anyone to discover. Instead, he revealed it bit by bit.

Waiting to die is far more terrifying than death itself, especially when you have no idea when the guillotine will suddenly fall.

This fear almost made Xia Yu unable to sleep or eat. Even when he accidentally fell asleep for a moment on the plane returning to Beijing, he was instantly awakened by the nightmare of his life story being revealed.

.

The more Lin Meng looked at the phone, the more shocked she became. She could never imagine that the two were "brothers."

She had no idea what to ask: "But Xia Yu has been promoting his persona as an only child, saying that he would go back to inherit the family property. How could Xing Chi......"

Li Chengyuan said calmly: "The Xia family does have only one child—and it's not Xia Yu."

Xia Xingchi finally squeezed out a perfectly shaped ice cream, and happily forgot about the grudge of having his ear pinched just now. He excitedly held up the ice cream and showed it off to Li Chengyuan: "Look! Don't you think it's very artistic!"

Without waiting for his answer, he turned around and saw Lin Meng, who was dazed and numbly digesting a huge amount of information.

"Sister Mengmeng? What are you thinking about?" Xia Xingchi tilted his head slightly in confusion.

Lin Meng came back to her senses, looked at the two people who were very well matched, and finally shouted sincerely from the bottom of her heart: "I think Yuanchi CP is real."

Xia Xingchi:? ? ?

What kind of new brainwashing package did this bastard Li Chengyuan tell Sister Mengmeng?

The author has something to say: Mr. Li: Successfully achieved the achievement of showing affection to the people of the whole country (Cat Joy.jpg)

Xiao Xia: Help! We agreed to be so low-key that we wouldn’t even post the photos online? ! (Schrödinger's low profile.jpg)
