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

Xiang Ran followed Aunt Zeng to the room and closed the door.

She turned around and said, "I know what you want to say. Sheng Yang has moved out."

"It's not just this, there's more. Last night - when Xiaofu was helping Mr. Sheng clean up his dirty clothes, he found a lipstick mark on his collar." Aunt Zeng described it with great difficulty.

Xiang Ran was stunned.

"So, Miss Xiang Ran, how did you end up like this?" Aunt Zeng called out Xiang Ran's full name for the first time. "Don't you know the consequences of blindly avoiding Mr. Sheng? To be honest, how many young and capable men with his family background can there be in all of H City? Even if our young lady came in person, we would have to convince her to curry favor with him. Now that things have come to this, what are we going to do next?"

Xiang Ran was indifferent, but she seemed to feel a little uncomfortable.

Although she kept telling herself that she was just an actor and there was no need to get real emotions in this kind of drama.

But I'm still a little upset.

Aunt Zeng sighed. "Butler Su didn't leave out anything in the one-month contract you renewed. You know that, otherwise you wouldn't ask for so much money from the Su family in the final month. I don't want to go into too much detail about some things. I will tell Butler Su everything about the situation here. Afterwards... you can figure out how to ask the Su family for money."

Aunt Zeng left angrily after saying this.

Leaving Xiang Ran alone in the room, she punched the bed with anger that came from nowhere: "It's so hard to make money, and it's so hard to be Mrs. Sheng!"

After venting, Xiang Ran quickly calmed down.

Again, she was thinking about herself, and there was nothing wrong with that.

As Xia Yun said - under the same conditions, doing less means making more money.

People are self-interested.

What did she do wrong?

But others don’t think so.

For example, Su Yue.

Su Yue called in the evening.

His tone was relatively friendly, and he did not mention the commission like Aunt Zeng did, but he asked Xiang Ran to think of a way to coax Sheng Yang back as soon as possible.

It is said that there will be a cooperation between the Su family and the Sheng family soon. I hope Xiang Ran will not affect the overall situation of the Su family and hurt the harmony between the couple because of the affairs between the couple.

Xiang Ran agreed verbally first.

Although she had learned many skills, such as how to pick mushrooms and how to answer questions, she had never learned how to coax a man.

Besides, would a man of Sheng Yang's age be willing to have a spiritual relationship?

-

Xiang Ran was at a loss, and these days she lied to Su Yue that she was thinking of a countermeasure - but in fact she was just buying time.

But she never expected that her "mother-in-law" Jiang Yu would call!

He attacked Xiang Ran.

In the eyes of the mother-in-law, it is naturally the daughter-in-law's fault.

Xiang Ran suspected that it was Xiao Fu who reported the case.

But it seems that they cannot be blamed for this - from their point of view, she, "Mrs. Sheng", is a bit weird.

Xiang Ran somewhat gave in.

The main reason is that I don’t want anything to happen to the money that I’m about to get.

She began to edit the WeChat message and prepared to send it to Sheng Yang.

I was just not satisfied with the wording, so I deleted it several times and finally didn’t send it out.

But soon Aunt Zeng brought Xiang Ran another piece of news.

It turns out that Su Yiqing has a cousin in Hong Kong named Su Yifeng, who is the agent of the Su family for this project related to the Sheng family industry.

Su Yifeng wants to visit Jinxiu Villa tomorrow afternoon and hopes to have dinner with Sheng Yang in the evening.

This is a bit tricky.

Under such circumstances, it is not easy to get Sheng Yang to have dinner with you.

But before going to bed, Xiang Ran finally sent Sheng Yang a straightforward message: [Are you free tomorrow night? My cousin Su Yifeng wants to invite you to dinner.]

After sending the message, Xiang Ran waited for a few minutes but saw no movement from the phone.

As expected—as expected, he didn’t show any favor.

Xiang Ran comforted herself: I have tried my best.

Yes, I work so hard.

I took the initiative to send him a message.

Just as she was about to lift the quilt and cover her head with sleep, her cell phone buzzed.

Xiang Ran took out her phone and looked at it. Sheng Yang replied with one word: "OK."

These words, which were written with such care, seemed to be telling her that he was giving face to the Su family.

But what I ask for from Ran is not much.

In this case, Sheng Yang just needs to give face to the Su family.

-

Su Yifeng arrived around 3:30 in the afternoon.

Xiang Ran listened to Aunt Zeng's advice and put on makeup carefully in order to look more like Su Yiqing.

She dressed up to await the arrival of her "cousin".

However, what Xiang Ran didn't expect was that Sheng Yang actually came back before 3:30 that afternoon.

It's time to make some noise, but we should be pragmatic where practical matters are concerned.

Xiang Ran breathed a sigh of relief - fortunately this man was not confused about important matters.

She wanted to go up to him and talk to him, but Sheng Yang ignored her and just said to Xiao Fu, "Call me when guests come."

He went straight to the study and closed the door.

Xiang Ran felt aggrieved and said to herself: If this bastard is the boss, she has to endure it for the sake of money.

-

At 3:30, Su Yifeng arrived on time.

My cousin is quite polite.

Her outfit was similar to the one in the photo Su Yue sent her.

I don’t know if it’s because he’s from Hong Kong, but he gives off a sense of being a wealthy man.

Su Yue said that this cousin is his uncle's adopted son, and is considered a more reliable male in this generation.

Moreover, this cousin had a good relationship with Su Yiqing, and Xiang Ran was afraid that if she spoke too much, she would be exposed, so she was very reserved.

So much so that when Sheng Yang stood beside her, he felt more natural in greeting guests than she did.

"Magnolia, long time no see! You've grown a lot taller and look a little different from before." Su Yifeng sighed as he looked at his "cousin" who had been replaced by someone else after a long time.

Magnolia?

Xiang Ran remembered that the booklet introduced Su Yiqing as having two English names, one starting with "M" and the other one being the commonly used name "Alice".

Obviously Sheng Yang didn't know that Su Yiqing's previous name was Magnolia.

He tilted his head and asked, "Oh, you also have this English name?"

Su Yifeng smiled and said to Xiang Ran, "If I remember correctly, this name was given to you by a Polish classmate in your class when we were studying in England?"

Fortunately, Xiangran's English is pretty good and she knows that the original meaning of the word Magnolia is flowers like magnolia.

Otherwise, if someone who is not good at English is mistakenly listening to it, they might hear it as Mongolian or something like that.

However, the naming issue was not mentioned in the booklet, so Xiang Ran didn't dare to talk about it too much and just smiled and dealt with it.

But from Sheng Yang's perspective as a husband, his wife's behavior seemed a little strange.

Even laughed a little too much.
