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

"What did you say?" Su Yiqing asked.

"I say—how could you possibly look like her?" Sheng Yang continued to study her, but his gaze had turned cold. "I missed her so much that I wanted to come see you tonight, but upon closer inspection, I realize you're... a poor imitation. Your face only makes me more upset the more I look at it!"

"Since you're so upset, why don't you just let me go? Then... Sheng Yang, after you let me go, I might even consider agreeing to... get a divorce certificate from you at the appropriate time!"

"Divorce?" Sheng Yang laughed, as if he had just heard a huge joke. "You wish! I've already applied to cancel the marriage registration. No need for you to worry."

"You???" Su Yiqing didn't expect him to do this!

shocked.

She cried out in frustration, "If that's the case, why don't you let me out? If you don't let me out, I'm going to sue you!"

"I didn't lock you up. They kept saying you were the prostitute from the nightclub, and I couldn't prove you weren't. But... don't worry, they should let you meet the Su family's parents soon. Maybe Su Yilong and his wife can prove that you are—or not."

Sheng Yang's long eyelashes were half drooped, and the corners of his lips were slightly curved to create an unfathomable smile.

"Really?" Hope ignited in Su Yiqing's heart.

Sheng Yang raised his eyes, a hint of mockery in them. "Well, you can sue me if you want in the future, but I also want to sue you. Think carefully about how to resolve the incident of you hitting my head on the wedding day?"

Su Yiqing's face changed.

It turns out he remembered!

But when did he recover his memory?

Sheng Yang: "I have nothing to do with you now. You hit me and made me unconscious in the hospital... This kind of behavior should be punishable by criminal detention. You hit me and didn't help me. Maybe you can be convicted of intentional homicide.

"I didn't do it on purpose. It was your uncle who forced me to do it..." she argued.

Sheng Yang stretched out a finger and placed it on his lips: "That day, I was not blind or deaf. I don't want to hear these excuses you made."

Su Yiqing stiffened her neck, angry but not daring to speak.

She thought to herself - no matter what, as long as she could see her parents, there would always be a way.

She is not afraid.

"I know you are not afraid because you feel that the Su family is behind you." Sheng Yang said as if he could read minds.

"So, this farce was originally caused by you and me! It was you and me, two wicked people, who dragged an innocent girl into this.

The agreement between you and me not to get a marriage certificate was already a mistake, but you ran away after the wedding and paid someone to come to the Sheng family in your place, which is even more ridiculous—"

Su Yiqing interrupted him: "It was the woman surnamed Xiang that Butler Su found. Why are you blaming me?"

"Of course it's your business. The reason someone is here to clean up your mess is because you started it, and they have no choice but to clean it up. Not only you, but also your family, can't deny their involvement in this matter. You ask me how I know? Because I used to be the same, playing around with the world, not treating others as human beings, but only as tools, and I thought it was natural and justified."

"So...you think she is innocent for taking the money to do these things?" Su Yiqing asked back.

"You were the ones who found her first and tempted her into doing this with a huge sum of money. Subjectively, she didn't want to get involved, so the original sin is yours." Sheng Yang laughed. "But then again, you must think that a girl from a lower class like her is shameless and despicable, that she would do such a thing for money."

These words hit Su Yiqing's heart.

"That's right, the woman with the surname Xiang is indeed cheap. Haha, Sheng Yang... who knows, maybe she has taken another order now? I didn't expect that you, the second son of the Sheng family, are also a leader in the business world, but you are in love with such a cheap woman. I feel so sorry for you." She said with a smile.

Although she was afraid, she couldn't help but want to hurt the man.

"You really should pity me... My wife's life or death is unknown, and I have to endure the disgusting feeling of listening to you slander her." He smiled harmlessly, but a coldness emanated from his body. "But the person who will suffer the most is you—I can guarantee that."

These words made Su Yiqing feel cold all over.

His thick black brows framed his cold eyes. "But don't forget, she's just graduated from college. She lacks social experience, is suddenly facing unemployment, and comes from a desperately poor family. Her parents are not only unhelpful but also hinder her. Living alone in a big city—how difficult it must be." Perhaps she, like those young people who dream of getting rich overnight, has stumbled into a seemingly simple but dangerous trap. Perhaps she hesitated, struggled... but took the risk.

This kind of desperate risk-taking is not even about getting rich overnight; it’s just about making a living, perhaps for a dream, perhaps to pay off debts, or perhaps just to have a place to live in a big city…”

"And you and I—people like us, who grew up with venerable family elders guiding our lives and regulating our behavior, eating the healthiest food, enjoying the best education and teachers along the way, and possessing platforms and resources that others may never have in their entire lives. As long as we're not stupid, we'll look successful upon graduation.

So we look down on those young people who take risks for money, have no experience and have achieved nothing. Not only do we look down on them, we also tempt them to do wrong things. Then we stand on a high ground and laugh at them - ah, how shameless! "

Su Yiqing stared at him blankly.

It was as if I was listening to some outrageous remarks.

Sheng Yang walked up to her and said word by word, "You and I—we could have just played this boring and hypocritical family marriage game between the two of us, but you dragged her into it!

You think the Su family will cover for you, and I have the Sheng family behind me, so we can look down on others and have nothing to worry about - but what about her?

What does she have?

She has nothing at home, no money, and only one life!"

Sheng Yang's voice echoed in the room.
