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

Aunt Zeng returned to Jinxiu Villa.

It also brought an expected news - Su Yiqing would not be back so soon.

During Aunt Zeng's absence from Jinxiu Villa, Xiang Ran also kept a "work log" for Su Yue every day. But it was always more comfortable without anyone around, and it was also more convenient for her to handle personal matters that didn't need to be recorded in the "work log."

We were supposed to go to Sheng Yang's grandfather's house for dinner on Double Ninth Festival, but Sheng Yang was on a business trip.

As the granddaughter-in-law, Xiang Ran received a call from Sheng Yimin and had to go to the banquet alone.

After Sheng Yang found out, he called her to cheer her up: "You can do it, Grandpa likes you very much, just be yourself. My uncle and aunt are not the kind of people who like to express their opinions, so you don't have to worry; as for other relatives, you don't have to worry about them either - and don't forget, Su Yiqing, I like you very much."

The last sentence made Xiang Ran laugh.

The Sheng family usually has Chinese-style dinners.

The meal went smoothly overall, except that a relative from Sheng Yang's great-uncle's side asked Xiang Ran if she had any channels to purchase a painting from a famous artist in Hong Kong.

Xiang Ran replied that she could help her ask her cousin if he had any information on this matter, and the matter was passed over.

After dinner, Sheng Yimin stayed and talked to Xiang Ran.

The old man talked about the hardships of his work before liberation and how he was honest after entering the official career. Finally, he chatted with Xiang Ran about traditional Chinese medicine and health care.

When they left, Sheng Yang's aunt joked with Xiang Ran, "Grandpa doesn't want to teach us anymore, he only wants to teach the bride."

In the car, Xiang Ran called Sheng Yang to "report the situation."

After hearing this, he smiled on the phone and said, "Thank you, my wife, for fulfilling my filial duty on my behalf."

Xiang Ran retorted to him: "Huh, is it enough for you to just say it?"

"Then wait until I come back and take concrete action..."

Xiang Ran blushed and asked him quietly, "Why are you like this? There's no one around, right?"

"It doesn't matter if there's someone or not. I think you're the only one who understands the code! Honey, have you thought about it too..."

"No. Where are you? I hear the sound of waves."

"You have sharp ears! I'm drinking coffee with a friend on the island. It's still light out here..."

"I can still hear the calls of seabirds." Xiang Ran snorted, "The person who says he's busy all day long actually slacked off and went to the island to enjoy the sea breeze? Is he a boyfriend or a girlfriend?"

"A woman." The man answered without hesitation on the phone.

"Oh——" Xiang Ran raised the tone of "oh" by eight degrees.

Suddenly the call was hung up.

Suddenly, a video request came from WeChat.

Xiang Ran clicked on it.

Sheng Yang's smiling face appeared on the screen. He lay on his back on a white beach chair, his arms resting behind his head casually.

Suddenly he turned the camera, and an endless sea appeared on the screen, with the wind blowing the waves, one by one, rushing towards the shore.

There are not many people here, obviously it is abroad.

"Where are your friends?" Xiang Ran asked.

As soon as the question was asked, the face of a middle-aged woman appeared in the camera. She had typical European-style raised eyebrows, sunglasses, and a thick bean paste pink lipstick. She took off her sunglasses and said, "Hello, Magnolia!"

Sheng Yang's voice came: "This is the Marquise of Meris, she is the owner of this island."

Xiang Ran didn't expect that his "friend" would appear on camera, and even knew the difficult-to-pronounce English name Su Yiqing, so he could only wave and greet her awkwardly.

Soon the camera turned to Sheng Yang again, and he stood up.

It was like walking and video chatting with her at the same time.

"This is a private island in the Indian Ocean, bought by the Marquise de Merlis in 1995."

"Ahem, um...can she understand Chinese?" Xiang Ran asked.

"What do you want to say? I walked away... She is Chinese and speaks Chinese, but it doesn't matter. I am far away."

Xiang Ran wanted to warn him that boys should not smile at girls casually when they are alone outside.

Neither can middle-aged women.

But then she thought that she was not a real wife, so she became much less arrogant.

So the words on the tip of my tongue changed to: "Oh, I see, it's nothing. When will you be back?"

"If everything goes well, I'll be back tomorrow, Yiqing. I just remembered we didn't have a honeymoon after our wedding, and the Marquise de Meris invited us to come visit during the Spring Festival."

"We'll talk about it later. We're almost home, so leave it at that for now."

Xiang Ran quickly hung up the video.

She spent so much time at the Sheng family today, dealing with this and that for him.

But he was on the island, enjoying the sea breeze with the rich woman.

There is a feeling of making wedding clothes for others...

Oh, it seems that I was a little too nosy and was too immersed in the role.

-

After returning to "Jinxiu", the dark little thing in Xiang Ran's heart began to become restless.

A voice in my heart urged me: It's time to make some extra money to reward myself.

Without saying a word, she returned to her room and contacted Ding Meimei, a second-hand luxury goods recycling blogger she had added previously, on WeChat.

Looking at the circle of friends, this blogger has been renting second-hand luxury goods recently.

Xiang Ran clicked on her profile picture: [Beautiful lady, Tiffany's Lock series diamond bracelet, Hermès Brikin 25 elephant gray bag, Hermès autumn and winter new season scarf, anyone want to rent it?]

Ding Meimei: [Yes, yes, yes! My studio has this need.]

Xiang Ran smiled. It seemed like there were quite a few luxury items at home.

She would not touch the things provided by the Su family for the time being, but Sheng Yang bought them for her later, so why not make use of them and create some value for herself?

Besides, she's not selling these, she's just renting them out. She doesn't need them anyway, so there's no need to let these luxury items gather dust, right?

Things like bags can be sold and the money can go into your own pocket, right?

As for the bracelet that looks like handcuffs, I won’t sell it.

It is jewelry after all.

Probably has some special meaning.

When the lease expires, let the man keep it for himself to tie up "Su Yiqing".
