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

By mid-May, the pomegranates in the small garden of Jinxiu Villa were in bloom.

Bright red.

Just like the booming performance of Yixing Group.

Under Sheng Yang's leadership, the group's profits continued to improve, and the new company's listing also saw hope, and it successfully obtained IPO approval.

The new company has gone through multiple rounds of financing, with a number of capitals behind it, including Ning D Series, G Ling, J Lian, and Z Core Series.

Capital is not stupid. The main reason is that the new company's business is at the forefront of the two major trends of semiconductors and new energy.

Some financial media even published an article titled "H City Shengjia Capital Expands Its Portfolio and Enters the Semiconductor Field!"

-

Xiang Ran also heard the news at Xu's house.

After all, Sheng Yinlan and the Xu family both hold some shares through the company.

Now that we have obtained the approval, it will not be long before the product is launched on the market.

Xiang Ran was sincerely happy for Sheng Yang.

She has already received offers from several schools, although she has not yet decided where to study abroad.

But plans for "retreat" have been made.

In order not to affect Lele and Beibei's summer vacation arrangements, Xiang Ran felt that she had to bring it up earlier.

But before that, you must communicate with the "boss" Mo Shaohua.

-

Mo Shaohua received a call from Xiang Ran. He was not surprised at all when he heard that she was leaving.

I just asked her - "Since we are about to leave, do you want to watch the listing bell ringing ceremony?"

Xiang Ran: “…”

Mo Shaohua: "The Sheng family's second company has gone public. As the former Mrs. Sheng, you also contributed to the 'medal of honor' that Mr. Sheng received. Are you really not going?"

Xiang Ran thought that her contribution...was probably just a negative one.

"Brother Mo, you're talking as if I'm a brokerage firm, as if I'm the capital. Is that a vegetable market where anyone can go?"

Mo Shaohua: "Isn't it me? Xiling gave me an invitation!"

Xiang Ran: “No!”

"Really not going? Don't regret it!"

Xiang Ran hesitated: "I may not be free..."

Mo Shaohua: "You're so arrogant, just like a capitalist! Then how about I treat you to a midnight snack tonight?"

"No, no!" Xiang Ran said.

"Then you treat me!" Mo Shaohua added some modifiers and said, "You can take the subway over here and bring Xia Yun along. It'll be like a farewell dinner, how about that?"

"All right!"

-

We had supper at the food court not far from the subway station.

Mo Shaohua didn't drive either.

Everyone ate and drank some wine.

Xiang Ran ate skewers while tearing off the double eyelid tape on her eyes: "It's so uncomfortable. This thing really pokes my eyelids!"

Xia Yun stared at Xiang Ran's eyes and said, "Look at you! Your double eyelids have become triple eyelids. I'm telling you, if you keep peeling off the double eyelid tape like this, your upper eyelid will definitely become loose."

Mo Shaohua secretly looked at the reflection of the mobile phone screen.

Xia Yun patted the corner of the table: "Don't look, Uncle Mo, your eyelids are tight."

"Who are you calling uncle?" Mo Shaohua pointed at Xiang Ran, "Just call me brother like Xiang Ran."

"Brother!" Xia Yun raised her glass and walked around Xiang Ran, who was eating skewers. "Shall we have a toast?"

Mo Shaohua raised his glass: "Let us first wish Xiang Ran a successful return from her studies; Gou will be rich and powerful——"

Xia Yun slammed the table: "Don't forget each other——"

Xiang Ran drank the wine in a gulp of excitement: "Brothers! Wait for me for a few years. When I make enough money, I will return to China and acquire Yixing! As soon as I get off the plane, I will go to negotiate with Sheng Yang. I want to take my son away--"

Xia Yun covered Xiang Ran's mouth: "It's over, it's over, she's drunk."

Mo Shaohua shook his head: "Even if I was drunk, I wouldn't dare say that. Three generations of wealth accumulated by others are waiting for you to buy it?"

Xia Yun smiled and said, "Yes, Ranran's thinking is indeed different from that of ordinary people. I don't even dare to think so when I read the cool novels..."

"What kind of cool novel?" Xiang Ran stretched out a hand. "I have to think about this five times a day..."

After saying that, she stretched out her other hand: "No, it's ten times!"

Mo Shaohua spun the beer can in his hand, snorting, "Looks like next Tuesday, I'll have to drag you out to see what capital is..."

-

June 28th,

on Tuesday.

It's an auspicious day.

At 7:30, Xiang Ran and Mo Shaohua stood in the lobby of the Hilton Hotel waiting for the shuttle bus.

Many guests took the shuttle bus to the S Stock Exchange according to the arrangements in the listing ceremony instructions.

Xiang Ran didn't dare to dress too cheaply today, for fear that she wouldn't be able to pass security check.

She wore a brown suit and trousers and a pair of Chanel sunglasses.

Knowing that Sheng Yang had an exceptional eye, she even deliberately modified the angles of her lips.

Mo Shaohua praised: "You draw this big mouth as sexy as Shu Qi."

Xiang Ran rolled her eyes at him, but because she was wearing sunglasses, Mo Shaohua probably couldn't see it either...

-

In front of the dressing mirror.

The smoke and dust floating in the air were clearly visible, and the sunlight shone on the man's face.

A man in his thirties should be experienced and graceful.

He wore a white shirt, a brown tie with silver dots, and on the hanger was a black custom-made suit.

Opening the drawer, Sheng Yang considered choosing cufflinks to match his shirt.

Remembering a pair of bullet-shaped cufflinks he had bought in Italy, he opened the box—only to discover the cufflinks had been replaced.

The box is still the same box.

But the cufflinks inside are now snap buttons.

Sheng Yang picked it up and found that there was a circle of fine diamonds on the square buckle, and an "S" was engraved on the silver mother-of-pearl.

It's obvious that this is custom made.

But he didn't remember buying this one.

The velvet of the box is slightly raised.

He touched it gently and found that the blue velvet could be lifted up, and there was a note inside.

There is a heart drawn on it.

There was another line of small characters below, written in a neat, familiar cursive script: "I would like to present you with a pair of white jade cufflinks. I hope you will accept them. Take care!"

He picked it up and smelled it - it was the same perfume he used before.

But...he hasn't used it for a long time.

After a while,

Only then did he realize there was a knock on the door - Xiao Chen was urging him.

So, let go of your hands,

Because I unconsciously held my hand too tightly just now, the metal cufflinks had rubbed marks on my palm.

He buttoned his cuffs.

Put on the black custom suit on the hanger,

Opened the door.
