Daily life of working as a substitute bride for a wealthy family

Chapter 120 Far inferior

After returning to the hotel, Mo Shaohua called Xia Yun and told her that he would invite her and Xiang Ran to dinner in the evening, and that he would leave MG City the next morning.

Xia Yun also plans to return home tomorrow afternoon.

"What about you? Xiang Ran, are you planning to continue playing in MG City or something?" Xia Yun asked.

"I... won't be returning to China for now. I want to explore a few more countries around here, or maybe look for an international school to see if there's a shortage of Chinese teachers. I'll wait for my IELTS results. If they don't meet my expectations, I'll have to take another exam."

Suddenly, Xia Yun changed the subject: "Have you ever thought about telling the child's father about your substitutionary marriage before you leave?"

"No. In this matter, I tried my best to prove that I didn't intentionally wrong him, but... the nature of the substitutionary marriage itself is that I deceived him along with the girl's family."

Xia Yun: "Maybe he will forgive me?"

Xiang Ran smiled bitterly: "Even if I forgive... that kind of forgiveness is limited. Besides, he is a person who has a clear distinction between love and hate. To be honest, I have stepped on all the sore spots that he cares about."

Who knows, he might even go crazy.

Sheng Yang, what a proud man he is.

Hey.

"Does he love you? Is he good to you?"

"Yeah." Xiang Ran replied, "He treats me very well. But no matter how deep the love is, it cannot be put to the test in complicated matters and relationships. Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many inexplicable misunderstandings in the world."

Xia Yun suddenly realized: "Oh - is this the 'closest or most distant...husband and wife' mentioned in "The Legend of Zhen Huan"? "

Xiang Ran nodded and said calmly: "That's right - the highest and the farthest are the sun and the moon, the closest and the most distant are husband and wife."

The tone was so calm that it really felt like they were discussing a costume drama from many years ago.

But Xia Yun could see her sadness.

"You all have children, are you willing to just leave it like this?" Xia Yun asked.

"There's nothing to be unwilling about." Xiang Ran took a deep breath.

"He loves someone who doesn't exist—yes, the person in front of you, superimposed with the identities of a daughter of a wealthy family, a highly educated overseas student, and a wife. Remove these superimposed identities, and how much love is left? Who can be sure?"

Xia Yun: "Sister, you really aren't in love at all."

Xiang Ran shook her head. "Even if I wanted to stay there, I couldn't. Not to mention whether he would accept it, the girl would definitely make a move. I have no one to rely on, so I can only pin my hopes on that man. But can I pin my entire life and happiness on this little bit of love from a man?"

"What if he doesn't forgive me? Will I commit suicide? Will I have to stay with him? I'm not that kind of person!"

"Love is something that needs to be worked on by two people and carefully nurtured, not thrown out as a shield to test the storm when trouble strikes. I can't do that."

"Since it's already a mistake, let's choose the best path for everyone based on the trade-offs."

Having said that,

But no matter what, Sheng Yang is a worthy person.

Although the things happened were wrong, the people did not make the wrong choice.

She regretted agreeing to be a "stand-in" for the Su family right after graduation, but she never regretted meeting Sheng Yang.

"Ranran, you are different from before." Xia Yun said blankly.

"Well, becoming a mother changes a lot of things." Xiang Ran thought for a moment and then changed her words, "Actually...it changed from the moment I became pregnant."

"I'll never dare to talk freely in front of you again." Xia Yun stuck out her tongue. "You now... I'm impressed. It's terrifying. Marriage and having children can transform a love novice into a master of philosophy."

"Don't be so modest. You said it—we're on different tracks."

The next day, early in the morning.

Three people had a buffet at the hotel.

"Mo Shaohua, when you leave later, can you take me to the airport? I want to go to the duty-free shop early because my flight is at 1:30 pm." Xia Yun stood up while eating. "I'll get two more eggs to fill me up."

"No problem, please get one for me too," said Mo Shaohua.

He looked at the simple items on Xiang Ran's plate.

"Would you like to have an egg? It's so vegetarian."

"no, thanks."

Xiang Ran ate too many eggs and goose eggs during her pregnancy.

"Will you continue to live here alone?" Mo Shaohua asked.

Xiang Ran said, "I want to go to a school in the suburbs of MG City, or try to find a job as a Chinese teacher or an English tour guide."

Mo Shaohua heard her say this: "Doesn't your husband let you go out? You want to work abroad...will your husband at home have any objections?"

"I came out just because I have some opinions." Xiang Ran said perfunctorily.

Mo Shaohua said, "I know some acquaintances in travel agencies and international schools. If you need anything, I can send you some contact information later."

"Okay, that's great. I troubled you back home, but I didn't expect to have to trouble you again abroad."

In fact, Xiang Ran felt a little embarrassed knowing that Mo Shaohua might have had such thoughts.

But Sheng Yang once told her, "Male men love to borrow strength, yet insist on boasting about being self-made. And when a woman borrows strength, she's accused of relying on a man. Isn't that ridiculous?"

Of course, the context in which Sheng Yang said this was to persuade her not to be shy about "talking about money" with him.

But Xiang Ran took this to heart, so he did not refuse Mo Shaohua's help.

After all, I'm alone outside.

Always asking for people's help.

Xiang Ran hugged Xia Yun and said goodbye at the hotel entrance.

Mo Shaohua took the elevator to the parking lot to pick up the car.

"Hey, check the group chat! The mystery man from yesterday has been revealed—it's Oscar's younger brother!" Xia Yun said as she scrolled through the group messages on her phone. "What a shame! He got married so young. I've always said it, there are only small fish in the market now. Good men, like good fish, are all kept at home."

"Who is Oscar?" Xiang Ran asked casually.

"Oscar Sheng, you haven't heard of him? He's a very famous designer, but he became popular on Douyin for his unique dressing style. He's also rumored to be the boyfriend of Chinese-American Hollywood actor Henry Zhao. Actually, Oscar is quite handsome. Although he gets a lot of criticism, he only wears women's clothing occasionally. He looks quite handsome in men's clothes."

Xiang Ran leaned over to take a look and was stunned.

Is it——Sheng Mian?

Sheng Mian is Oscar Sheng?

"So it was him..." Xiang Ran said absentmindedly.

"Haha, I thought you'd seen it on TikTok." Xia Yun flipped through the photos in the group chat and smiled, "Look, this is Oscar's cousin—the second son of the Sheng family, the one who made those women scream when we left the airport yesterday. He's the true successor of the Sheng family."

The photos should have been taken by someone else using a professional camera.

very clearly.

Sheng Yang smiled and spoke gently to a man next to him.

Say what?

What are you thinking?

Why would you come to Country T? You didn’t say you were coming to Country T before.

Did the itinerary get changed later?

Yes indeed,

He also talked to Su Yiqing about changing the itinerary.

Instead of telling her.

Of course she doesn't know.

Sure enough, when the fate between one person and another is over.
