Shi Xi instantly felt a chill run through her body, the coldness spreading from her feet to her heart, causing waves of pain in her chest.
The calming mantra, yes, the calming mantra.
She clutched her heart, knelt on one knee, her face pale, and her forehead covered in a thick layer of sweat.
He bit his lower lip tightly with his teeth, and it bled after a few moments.
Chong Shuang sneered; she found pleasure in seeing Shi Xi in pain.
"Shi Xi, how is it? Are you heartbroken to know the answer? Did you think that Master Chen would fall in love with a girl who is not even an adult at first sight? Don't daydream."
"Before you appeared, Master Chen had no women around him. As soon as you appeared, Master Chen tried to get close to you, attract your attention, and make you fall in love with him."
"You think it's because you're good-looking? There are plenty of people better looking than you, why did Master Chen choose you?"
"Haven't you considered this issue?"
Chong Shuang propped his chin up with the whip and mocked, "You're just a pathetic substitute, a pathetic worm."
“Chong En adopted me because I looked somewhat like his daughter. But after he adopted me, he made it clear to me that I looked like his daughter and that I was just a substitute for his daughter, and that I should be his daughter.”
"After about a year, he stopped caring about me and stopped talking about the stand-in thing. It was as if he had forgotten that I was his adopted daughter and that I was his daughter too."
"Master Chen sent people to arrest me and take me back to avenge you. I called him for help, but he refused to help me and let Master Chen's men arrest me."
He was Master Chen's elder, someone Master Chen wouldn't dare disrespect. If he had just said one word, Master Chen would have released me. But he just watched as Master Chen's men captured me.
Chong Shuang calmed herself down and sat on the bed. She didn't lash Shi Xi with the whip in her hand. Seeing Shi Xi's painful heart attack was far more satisfying than the pain from the whip.
Shi Xi's eyes were filled with pain, and she asked in a trembling voice, "Di Chenxiao, do you really think of me as a substitute?"
"Of course. Chongxi is the white moonlight in Master Chen's heart, the cinnabar mark between his brows. Do you think you can replace her?"
"The place where Master Chen lives is called Xiyuan; his hospital is called Xixiao Hospital; his famous restaurant is called Xixiaoyuan; all the Xi are the Xi of Chongxi, not the Xi of Shixi."
A tear streamed down Shi Xi's face and onto the ground, like a drop of water falling onto a lake, disturbing the tranquility of the place.
Shi Xi clutched her chest in pain and curled up in a corner.
“Since I’m just a substitute, as long as you tell me the truth, I will leave Di Chenxiao. You… don’t need to… risk… capturing me… and offending… the Shi family…”
Her voice was stammering, and she was in so much pain that she couldn't even finish a sentence.
Her long hair cascaded over her shoulders, obscuring her vision and the glint of light in her eyes.
Chong Shuang: "You've offended too many people. I'm just cooperating with someone to lead you to the Zhongdu Avenue intersection. The rest is not my responsibility."
"Weizhi...send me Weizhi...send me..."
It's very difficult; I can't even finish a sentence.
Chong Shuang interrupted Shi Xi, "That's right, it was Wei Zhi's former assistant who sent you the message."
"The drunk driver was willing to kill for money; unfortunately, he had the life to earn money, but not the life to spend it. After the accident, our people took advantage of the chaos to bring you here."
"Seeing how much pain you're in, I'll be a good person this time. Is there anything else you want to ask? I'll tell you."
