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

At night, Sheng Yu and his wife lay in bed and whispered.

"I saw Sheng Yang today, he has lost a lot of weight."

Sheng Yu sighed, "This kid has it tough. I didn't expect a good marriage to have so many twists and turns. So many things have happened recently, and he's been carrying it all on his own, hiding it from us so tightly."

His wife shook her head: "Your brother is a playboy, and your sister-in-law is confused, but they gave birth to a child like Sheng Yang, which is quite rare."

"Now I think about our Sheng Mian. Being lazy and not getting married or having children may not be a bad thing. After this illness, I have let go of many things." Sheng Yu said.

"Then what do you think father will say to Sheng Yang behind closed doors tonight?"

Sheng Yu said, "I guess we should call Sheng Yang over to do some ideological work."

"Hasn't that girl been found yet?"

"I heard she was injured and fell into a lake in Country Z. It's hard to say. What if they find... that girl is dead? Sheng Yang will definitely find it hard to accept. After all, anyone who gets hurt by this will cry out for injustice and feel heartbroken. My father probably wants to distract Sheng Yang first. The group is also preparing to list its second company on the Science and Technology Innovation Board. What if this kid gets discouraged and quits?

It’s just…his words are so veiled, I don’t know if it will backfire.”

"I don't think so. Dad has always been very measured in his words on important matters. He's been in the officialdom for so many years. But if your nephew really quits, will you take over again?"

Sheng Yu thought for a moment and shook his head, "No, once people retire for a long time, they don't want to suffer that hardship anymore. Even if they have money, they don't have time to enjoy it, and they get sick from exhaustion."

"Oh, so you knew that too. Before, you wanted Yinlan to shoulder both responsibilities. In fact, I saw that she was so busy helping to manage the Xu family's business that she had no time to take care of the children. Then, you set your sights on your son... Amian wanted to study design and refused to return to China, but you tried every means to force him to come back and take over? You and your son even had a big fight over this!" His wife rolled her eyes at him.

"I have some selfish motives, after all. Besides, power is a great temptation for men." Sheng Yu smiled. "Don't worry, with your and my shares, Sheng Mian will have enough money to spend in his lifetime."

"So... don't let Lao Fang and his people make things difficult for your nephew in the group. Don't think I don't know what you did last year. You are so narrow-minded!"

Sheng Yu laughed, as his wife had guessed it right, but he was not annoyed.

He put his arm around his wife's shoulders and said, "I wasn't trying to trip him up. It was another form of training. After all, Sheng Yang has been working in foreign companies for a long time. I was worried that he would make too much noise right from the start and lose his position as chairman. Fortunately, he's still quite steady. I'll just let him go from now on."

The jeep was speeding on the road, and Mo Shaohua saw Xiang Ran smiling through his sunglasses.

"Hey, what are you so happy about?"

"No, I was looking at the WeChat emoticons that Xia Yun sent me." Xiang Ran said with a smile.

"What's this WeChat thing? It's so funny?"

"Xia Yun told me that a novel she was following was made into a TV series and broadcast online. The male lead was played by W, and the original novel was written by her favorite Quan Huanwen." Xiang Ran said.

"Powerful eunuch?"

"He's the extremely powerful eunuch." Xiang Ran turned her head to glance at Mo Shaohua.

This man has delicate skin and tender flesh. I wonder if he has applied sunscreen.

How come you don’t get tanned at all?

I remembered that Xia Yun described his temperament as being like that of Doctor Wen after he castrated himself.

It does have a bit of that flavor.

"What? Xia Yun likes the male protagonist to be a eunuch?" Mo Shaohua was shocked.

"Well, actually, there was a time when novels about powerful eunuchs were very popular. Of course, some of them featured real eunuchs, and some were fake! Do you remember that a long time ago, there was a ranking online for the 'Factory Flower'?"

Mo Shaohua may have never discussed this issue with girls.

Of course, it is also possible that he has never dated a girl who likes to read online novels.

Anyway, Mo Shaohua pressed on as if he had discovered a new world: "You mean the East Factory? Haha, since they're eunuchs, they can't do that, so why would the heroine still like them?"

"Because some eunuchs are talented, loyal, ambitious, and capable. To judge whether a man is truly masculine, we should look at his vision and ambition, and what he has done, rather than just whether he can continue the family line."

Xiang Ran curled her lips. "Well, those men who are at the bottom of society and always face obstacles, who only know how to bully the weak and beat their wives and children, even if they have eight or ten sons, can they be considered men? Those who can only be considered as reproductive trash, are they worse than eunuchs?

A eunuch is at least a human being;

If he was a eunuch who could do something practical, wouldn't he still be remembered in history and still be a good man of China? "

Mo Shaohua asked: "Oh? Is this your personal idea or..."

"Since it has become a phenomenon, I think it at least represents the views of some girls."

"If I wasn't driving, I would have wanted to applaud you!" Mo Shaohua slapped the steering wheel with his palm, looking very proud.

"Hey, hey...are you driving too fast?" Xiang Ran watched the speedometer slowly move to the right.

"Sorry, I got a little excited..."

"Why are you so excited?" Xiang Ran asked.

Mo Shaohua chuckled dryly a few times.

He had always been troubled by the shadow of that aspect of himself. After listening to Xiang Ran's words, he suddenly felt that he was terrifyingly strong. He regretted that he did not go to the electronic fraud park a few days ago in Country M to rescue a few people and do something "meritorious" to leave a good name in the family tree.

Xiang Ran saw him laugh for no apparent reason and was confused: "......"

Arriving in K City, the capital of the southwestern province, Xiang Ran planned to stay for a while.

She wanted to leave Mo Shaohua behind and go to a more remote county hospital for a gynecological examination.

Mo Shaohua planned to fly directly back to H City.

After driving for so many days, I decided to take it as a self-driving tour.

But it was absolutely impossible for him to drive back to City H from City K.

Our motherland is vast.

The distance from west to east is much longer than the borders of several small Southeast Asian countries.

Mo Shaohua decided to leave by plane and didn't even want to take the ten-hour high-speed train.

No matter who you are, once you decide to go home, you will be eager to return.

Mo Shaohua is no exception.

Xiang Ran didn't dare go to the airport.

The two parted at an ordinary intersection.

Xiang Ran: "I will never forget Manager Mo's life-saving grace..."

Mo Shaohua said with a smile: "Won't you pledge your love to me?"

Xiang Ran pretended to be regretful and said, "Oh, it's too late. I've already promised her to someone."

"Wait until you get divorced."

Adults are most afraid of saying the truth in a joking tone.

Xiang Ran: “…”

"A gentleman's friendship is as pure as water." Xiang Ran clasped his fists, "I know that Manager Mo, you are not someone who would seek repayment for a favor. Have a safe trip!"

Mo Shaohua clenched his fist and bumped it with hers. "Frequent flattery won't work on me... If you're going back to H City, you can always come find me. B88, 2nd Floor, 3 Wanping Road. Don't go the wrong way."
