Shen Yunong subconsciously lied: "I talked to him, and she obediently took the money and left. After all, she couldn't afford to offend the Zhou family."
"That's great!" Zhou Xiaoxiao's mood instantly brightened.
After hanging up the phone, she felt like going shopping, so she called Luo Wenxi.
Luo Wenxi quickly came over and knocked on the door to find her.
“Let’s go shopping. We’re going back in a couple of days anyway. I want to buy some gifts for my parents and my brother, and I also want to buy something for Wei Jingshen.”
When Wei Jingshen's name was mentioned, Zhou Xiaoxiao became unusually shy.
Luo Wenxi's eyes turned a little cold, and he curled the corners of his lips: "Weren't you saying just a couple of days ago that Wei Jingshen went shopping with another woman? Miss Zhou, who can't tolerate any infidelity, has already chosen to forgive him so quickly?"
"Luo Wenxi, if you can't speak properly, then don't speak! That woman has already been driven away by my mother!"
Every time Wei Jingshen is mentioned, Luo Wenxi speaks with barbs, deliberately showing jealousy.
Zhou Xiaoxiao occasionally felt pleased. Luo Wenxi came from a good family, was handsome, and was considered a sought-after figure among his peers.
But he remained devoted to her, and had loved her all these years.
Zhou Xiaoxiao's heart wasn't made of iron; once her vanity was satisfied, she couldn't completely refuse Luo Wenxi's advances.
But she knew very well that she didn't like Luo Wenxi at all.
Especially with Wei Jingshen as a comparison, Luo Wenxi is even less in line with her aesthetic and interests.
"Okay, okay, I apologize. Can I see what she looks like? Didn't you say she looks a bit like you?"
"Can we please stop talking about it? It's disgusting. I'm unique in this world, and that person doesn't look like me at all!"
Zhou Xiaoxiao dislikes Luo Wenxi, but she tells him everything, including the news Shen Yunong told her not long ago.
"Then let me see it, satisfy my curiosity."
Zhou Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes at him, but still showed him the pictures on her phone.
"Does her face look like mine? What was Wei Jingshen thinking, sending someone like that to the engagement ceremony? They'll definitely be recognized. He might as well beg me instead."
Zhou Xiaoxiao continued talking to herself, unaware that Luo Wenxi's gaze lingered on the photo of the fake item for a long time.
"Have you finished watching?"
In the blink of an eye, Luo Wenxi returned to normal, his smile still warm: "I've finished reading."
"Do we look alike?" Zhou Xiaoxiao asked with a hint of anticipation.
"No, not at all. She's not as good-looking as you."
Zhou Xiaoxiao was indeed very satisfied with this answer.
"Okay, then you get ready, let's go shopping."
Luo Wenxi's eyes crinkled into a smile: "Okay."
It was late at night when the two returned from shopping, but due to the time difference, it was daytime in their home country.
Luo Wenxi returned to his room, retrieved a number from his memory, entered it, and dialed it.
Jiang Tian was having dinner with Wei Jingshen.
To be honest, although she didn't speak and her presence was not very noticeable, Wei Jingshen still felt that she had an indescribable elegance.
Even after enduring countless hardships, what is etched into one's bones will not change.
Wei Jingshen would be mesmerized just watching her eat.
After she finished eating, despite Jiang Tian's disapproving gaze, Wei Jingshen still took the initiative to clear the table.
“I have a lot of work to do after I get back to the company, but I’m worried about people bothering you if I leave you at home. If you don’t mind, can I bring you to the company?”
Wei Jingshen spoke to her in a consultative tone.
Jiang Tian did not object, clearly she did not want to stay at home, after all, if Shen Yunong came again, she might not be able to bear the blow of her mother not recognizing her.
"Won't this cause you trouble?"
Wei Jingshen's smile immediately relaxed: "Of course not."
"Can I wear a mask?" Jiang Tian asked cautiously.
"Can."
Wei Jingshen knew that she was afraid of being mistaken for Zhou Xiaoxiao.
What she didn't know was that if the two people didn't wear the same makeup, no one would mistake them for each other.
Just as Jiang Tian went back to her room to change her clothes, an unfamiliar number called.
Her phone was on the dining table. When Wei Jingshen saw the unfamiliar number, he frowned and hung up.
Unexpectedly, the fighting continued one after another over there.
Wei Jingshen knocked on Jiang Tian's door with his phone in hand: "Someone is calling you."
"Thanks."
Jiang Tian glanced at the number and answered it.
Her expression changed when the other person said her name.
"Jiang Tian? You finally answered my call. It's been a long time." Luo Wenxi said with a smile.
Jiang Tian remained silent on the other end, and Luo Wenxi knew she was listening.
"Listen to me, I know everything about you, including your entanglement with Wei Jingshen. If you don't want the rumors of you being kept by someone else to spread like wildfire, then you'd better stick with Wei Jingshen and never leave his side. If necessary, I can get you some things."
Luo Wenxi issued the orders calmly and unhurriedly.
His past relationship with her, which could hardly be called a romance, had allowed him to thoroughly investigate this woman's background long ago.
He only wanted her to do one thing: to keep Wei Jingshen by her side.
He's liked Zhou Xiaoxiao for so many years, and now that he finally has a chance, of course he won't let it go easily.
After he finished speaking, there was a long silence on the other end.
Luo Wenxi felt a growing impatience. If it weren't for this twist of fate that he found out the substitute was Jiang Tian, he would never have bothered with her again.
