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

At five in the morning, Sheng Yang woke up.

The IV needle had been pulled out by the nurse, and Song Nan was nowhere to be found.

Sheng Yang reached for his phone and clicked on the screen.

On the WeChat interface, he saw the video sent by Sheng Yinlan.

Click on the video.

The surveillance footage from Aunt Zhang's cry for help after she discovered the situation to Butler Xu's phone call was very clear.

The only thing that was unclear was the person who ran after Butler Xu - a woman with short hair.

She squatted on the ground,

Almost all of them had their backs to the surveillance camera.

But slowing down, he could still see she was shaking his hand.

Sheng Yang repeatedly watched the dynamic video of the short-haired woman running towards him, trying to see her appearance clearly.

I found her wearing a mask...

Who is this woman?

How come you are at my cousin's house?

When did she start staying at her cousin's house?

Sheng Yang wanted to call his cousin, but found it was too early.

No rush, he has been waiting for more than three hundred days.

I don't mind waiting three more hours.

Having said that, Sheng Yang has never felt that time has moved so slowly.

I watched the sky outside the window gradually brighten.

The door was suddenly pushed open.

Song Nan walked in — "Awake?"

"Well, where have you been?" Sheng Yang asked, "Didn't you sleep?"

"I slept, but didn't sleep well. I just went to have breakfast. My female secretary reminded me." Song Nan said with a smile.

"Tracy?" Sheng Yang asked.

"Well, who else could we have?" Song Nan said, "This girl has finally come to her senses. But I still feel like something's amiss."

"What's abnormal?"

Song Nan thought for a moment and said, "He seems very calm and composed."

Sheng Yang laughed: "Isn't this the status of a former employee?"

"No way?" Song Nan, struck by Sheng Yang's words, vehemently denied it. "I just gave her a raise, and she wants to resign?"

"That's normal. Tracy is of marriageable age. Maybe she has a boyfriend and is back home or something."

"Impossible, impossible! As my secretary, how could you have time to date?" Song Nan denied again.

"I'm just as busy as you!" Sheng Yang pointed at himself. "I even have time to get married and have children. Your secretary wants to date, but do you really have no time at all? Don't forget that you've been dating several people before."

"Oh, that's true." Song Nan nodded. "You're right."

With that, Song Nan turned around and was about to push the door open to go out again.

Sheng Yang asked, "Where are you going again?"

"Going to smoke a cigarette, my throat is a bit uncomfortable!" Song Nan turned around, "By the way, let the doctor see you and ask when you can eat liquid food."

After Song Nan went out,

Sheng Yang had no choice but to close his eyes and rest.

When the door was pushed open again, Sheng Yang opened his eyes and found that it was Xu Xiling.

-

Xu Xiling was holding a bouquet of flowers in his hand.

The flowers have a very strong perfume smell.

Sheng Yang frowned and called out, "Brother-in-law!"

Xu Xiling put the flowers aside and sat on the stool where Song Nan had been sitting. "Your sister has to take Beibei to the dentist this morning. I have an early flight to the airport, so I just came to see you. How are you?"

"Thanks, brother-in-law. I'm feeling much better." Sheng Yang suddenly remembered the video. He picked up his phone, clicked on the screenshot, and asked Xu Xiling, "Brother-in-law, who is this woman? The one next to Aunt Zhang with short hair and wearing a mask."

Xu Xiling leaned forward and took a look: "Oh, this is our teacher Tina! What's wrong?"

Sheng Yang's gaze fell on the phone screen, quiet and silent. "Is she Tina? How come I've never seen her before? When did she come to your house?"

"Oh, Tina is our tutor. Shaohua introduced her to us. She has been here for about half a year!" Xu Xiling asked.

"Brother-in-law, haven't you seen what she looks like? You didn't know her before?" Sheng Yang asked.

Xu Xiling thought for a moment, "I don't think I've ever seen her true face. She often wears a mask and dresses in a neutral style. She's only responsible for Lele and Beibei's studies. Aside from talking to the children, she's a bit of a loner and doesn't talk much. Check the surveillance footage. Is there something wrong with Tina?"

Sheng Yang's voice fell softly: "No, I just want to thank her for helping me yesterday. You said before that she was - Mo Shaohua's..."

"Is she...a girlfriend?" Xu Xiling answered with a smile.

"Yes, then it is. No, then it is not!" Sheng Yang looked up at Xu Xiling, his eyes suddenly sharp. "What do you mean by 'considered'?"

Although Xu Xiling is older, for some reason he has always been a little afraid of his cousin.

When Sheng Yang asked this, she actually became nervous and explained, "Because Shaohua has been pursuing Tina for a long time, but I haven't heard anything about it since then. However, at the listing bell ringing ceremony the day before yesterday, Shaohua asked for an invitation, and they went together."

Just as he finished speaking, he saw Sheng Yang gasping for breath and pressing his hand against his chest.

"What's wrong? Sheng Yang!" Xu Xiling wanted to reach out and press the bell to call the nurse.

"No need to call the nurse!" Sheng Yang held him down. "I just need to take it easy."

-

Xu Xiling didn't know how much information his answer just now contained for Sheng Yang.

In an instant, Sheng Yang had connected many fragmented moments from his memory that he had never noticed.

Four months ago, they told him that the Xu family's tutor taught Song Xuan to call "Dad" and "Mom".

Three months ago, Yinlan mentioned that Songxuan had learned to take the first step independently with the encouragement of teacher Tina.

A few days ago, Song Xuan was at home saying "Pah Pah Pah" towards the window...

And that rainy day when Mo Shaohua gave him a strange look.

In an instant, this "strangeness" was explained - it was a man who was looking at and showing hostility towards another man because of a woman.

On that rainy day, Mo Shaohua handed him the umbrella.

In front of him, Mo Shaohua put his arm around her back and passed by him.

And she.

She always wore a mask and had short hair at Xu's house.

Just to prevent people from recognizing her.

She even attended the bell-ringing ceremony, but left before it was over.

Why did she go to the listing ceremony?

Because that was the Sheng family’s company that went public.

Why did she go to Xu's house?

Because the Xu family is the in-laws of the Sheng family...

Sheng Yang felt like his heart was being torn apart by something.

Rushing left and right, trying to burst his heart and rush out.

He clenched his fists.

Forced myself to calm down.

Because no one spoke, there was a sense of stagnation in the air.

Although Xu Xiling was a bit slow-witted, he also noticed that something was wrong with Sheng Yang: "Sheng Yang, are you feeling sick again?"

"Brother-in-law, I want to take a break."

"Okay, then I won't disturb your rest, but... do you want me to call a doctor to see you first?" Xu Xiling stood up.

"No need! Go outside and call Song Nan in. If you can't find him, call him."

"Okay, by the way, did you find any clues after watching the surveillance footage about the things you lost yesterday?" Xu Xiling suddenly remembered the surveillance footage.

Sheng Yang's hands were clenched under the quilt, and the veins on the back of his hands were bulging.

But he said it calmly: "Oh. Yesterday... I made a mistake. Now that I think about it - my beloved things can't be lost, and no one else can take them away."
