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

Xiang Ran was so frightened that she didn't dare to take a step.

Sheng Yang came out: "Is your cold better?"

"No, how come...someone came to our house?" Xiang Ran coughed lightly twice.

"I think my family needs someone to do the rough work of caring for the flowers and trees and cleaning the yard. The manager of the housekeeping company Yinlan introduced me to is bringing someone here for a trial. Do you want to go over and take a look?"

"No, you can order it yourself. I'm a little tired." Xiang Ran waved her hand.

Sheng Yang didn't embarrass her: "Then go and rest first."

Xiang Ran wanted nothing more than to go upstairs.

-

Mo Shaohua watched Xiang Ran go upstairs and asked thoughtfully, "Mr. Sheng, is she your wife?"

Sheng Yang frowned: "Yeah. She's feeling a little unwell. Why don't you arrange for a worker to come and try the job first."

one way or another.

It is always uncomfortable for your wife to be stared at by other men.

Mo Shaohua noticed that Sheng Yang looked a little unhappy.

He immediately explained: "Mrs. Sheng's back looks a bit like a student I know who graduated from H University."

Sheng Yang's expression was cold: "Really? My wife went to high school and university in the UK."

Mo Shaohua tried to smooth things over: "So I recognized the wrong person. That girl is not as elegant as your wife. That girl has a hunched back and refuses to change it."

"Manager Mo, why don't you run another etiquette training class? Expand your business and there should be a big market for it."

Mo Shaohua stood up and said with a smile, "Then I'm going to ask Mr. Yin Lan if he's interested in investing... It's getting late, so I'll take the workers back first and have him come in for a trial tomorrow."

Sheng Yang: "No thanks."

-

After Mo Shaohua left, Sheng Yang found Aunt Zeng: "Aunt Zeng, has she taken medicine these days? Is her cold better?"

Aunt Zeng knew that Xiang Ran was pretending to be sick, but she didn't want to expose her in front of Sheng Yang.

He could only say to Sheng Yang, "Madam, drink some granules every morning and evening, and you should be well soon."

"I'll go check on her. Go make some medicine and bring it to her."

Aunt Zeng was stunned for a moment, then quickly brought over a cup of strong and bitter instant drink.

Sheng Yang asked, "What kind of medicine is this?"

"Isatis root powder." Aunt Zeng said.

Anyway, eating a packet of isatis root shouldn't hurt you. Aunt Zeng just picked it up from the medicine box.

Sheng Yang shook his head. "No wonder it's ineffective. Isatis root is mainly used to treat boils, swelling, and inflammation. For example, if you have a cold, you should still take the cold granules."

"Then should I look for it again?" Aunt Zeng asked.

Sheng Yang ordered: "No need, I'll go up and take a look first, you go ahead and do your work."

-

Came to the door of Xiang Ran's room.

Sheng Yang knocks on the door.

Xiang Ran opened the door and pretended to be sick. "Sheng Yang, have the people from the housekeeping company left?"

"Well, let's go."

Sheng Yang asked, "Does your throat hurt? Do you have a runny nose? Do you want to go to the hospital for a flu swab or something?"

This reminded Xiang Ran.

If she lied and said she had the flu, wouldn't she be able to avoid contact with Sheng Yang?

Never mind it for now, just hide for a while if you can.

"I'll ask Aunt Zeng to go out and buy a box of flu swabs. I'll take the test myself in my room."

"Okay. I'll ask Xiao Chen to take Aunt Zeng to the pharmacy to buy a few boxes for the family."

Xiang Ran: "Just go and do your thing, don't worry about me."

-

After buying the influenza A/B swabs, Xiang Ran took a screenshot of a positive influenza A test paper online and sent it to Sheng Yang.

Sheng Yang: [Do you want to go to the hospital?]

Xiang Ran replied: [No need. But please keep your distance from me! (smiley face)]

Sheng Yang: [I'm not afraid.]

Xiang Ran did not reply to him.

She just had to find a legitimate reason to refuse to be in the same room with him.

Whether he is afraid or not is his business.

-

In the next few days, Xiang Ran rarely left the room.

I hide in my room to study IELTS during the day and turn off the lights early to go to bed at night.

She "hanged around" like this for a few days, and finally one morning she heard that Sheng Yang went on a business trip to City B, so she found an excuse to go out.

The main purpose is to spend some of the 10,000 yuan monthly quota given by Su Yue.

But unexpectedly, Aunt Zeng actually came forward in front of Xiao Fu and the new flower and tree maintenance worker and asked, "Miss, why don't I go out with you?"

Xiang Ran also got annoyed when she heard this. Is Aunt Zeng addicted to monitoring her?

She sulked, "Aunt Zeng, I'm not a child anymore. Can't I go out for a walk alone? I don't see any random people, and there's nothing to report!"

Xiang Ran meant that she had to go do some private business.

When Aunt Zeng heard Xiang Ran say this, she was angry but dared not express it.

He only replied awkwardly, "I am also worried about the young lady. After all, I followed the young lady here with my mission to take care of her personally and help her share her worries."

Xiang Ran didn't want to offend her completely for the time being, so she just said, "I'll be back soon. It's none of your business, don't worry."

-

After getting rid of Aunt Zeng, Xiang Ran felt relieved.

She has been bored at home these days.

Ten thousand yuan couldn't buy any luxury bags, so Xiang Ran bought a gold bracelet. In case she ran away in troubled times, it could be considered a gold reserve.

After coming out of the gold shop, she walked aimlessly along the tree-lined road.

I don't want to go home so early.

After walking for a while, I found that I was hungry.

I want to eat the tofu pudding sold in the food stalls before, and my stomach is rumbling.

-

The steaming hot tofu pudding is like a soup that comforts the souls of the urban working class.

I remember drinking a bowl of it on the way back to my rental house after get off work after an evening class at an institution. It really warmed my heart.

Without much hesitation, Xiang Ran got on a taxi to the old place.

After getting off the bus, she walked along the bus stop and a few steps east to where she had rented a house before.

Looking up, I can see the building she rents.

But I couldn't see which floor she rented.

The building is too tall.

This area is full of resettlement housing built by local residents more than ten years ago. The housing ratio is high, but the distance between buildings is small.

There are all kinds of people here, both short-term and long-term renters, it's really lively.

At night, there are many street vendors and the urban management is unable to control them.

-

There were groups of parents picking up their children on the road.

This should be the time when the uncle selling tofu pudding comes to sell his goods.

Sure enough, when she reached the entrance of the alley, she saw the familiar three-wheeled food cart, and... and a long line of people.

Xiang Ran originally wanted to line up at the back of the line, but she found a fat figure in front of the line who looked familiar.

The man turned around and was furious at Ran.

It turned out to be the fat old lady who cut in line with her before!

What’s even more coincidental is that behind the fat old lady is her “accomplice”, the skinny aunt.

That’s right, Xiang Ran has a grudge against these two women.

When she just graduated, she was "taught a lesson" by this fat old lady and the thin aunt.

They joined together to demonstrate what it meant to be in collusion.
