After entering the book, I no longer want to be a substitute

The director wanted to pick the young couple, and finally got his wish on the fifth time.

He refreshed the question and then said:

"Excuse me, how many relationships have you had? By the way, which one is the hardest to let go?"

Good question! Shi Yu expressed satisfaction.

He looked at Yunxiu beside him, his eyes gentle and full of affection as he said, "She's the only one. If she lets go, she will definitely not be able to use it in this lifetime."

What I mean is, I will only date this one and marry her in the future, and I will have no regrets.

The director, frustrated by his own frustration, continued drawing the sixth number. Unexpectedly, the sixth lucky winner was Shi Yu, who happily posed the question, "Hey, if you decide to have children in the future, would you prefer a boy or a girl?"

Shi Yu and Yun Xiu looked at each other, and both read confusion in each other's eyes.

"Gender cannot be determined in advance. I like my wife's children, whether they are boys or girls."

Zhou Xi rolled his eyes, and Su Lin rolled his eyes twice more, thinking that you got what you deserved tonight.

Nie Yijing nodded frantically in agreement as if he had just received the truth:

"That's right! What's the difference between a boy and a girl? Aren't they all your own children? Once your wife gives birth to a child, you should take good care of it. Don't worry about the pigs, dogs, cows or sheep!"

Everyone present was silent in tacit agreement: "..."

That's the truth, but it's a bit too rough. It sounds a bit strange and hard to explain.

The director was furious, but he couldn't express any opinions. The questions were random, and he didn't have to ask them. They were all installed, right?

Studio.

[See? This is called Yunxiu Selection. My sister-in-law's character is 100 points, she can give 101 points.]

[Fork Nie Yijing out. Admit that you have a positive outlook and respect women, but don't ruin the little romance between our young couple, okay?]

[So, these two are each other's first love? Such pure love, huh?]

[Passersby seem to think that Gu Luoshuang and Su Mengran are not very happy? ]

[In fact, Su Lin and Zhou Xi were even more unhappy.]

The subsequent questions were similar. The question did not turn to Shi Yu, nor did it turn to Yun Xiu. After the question was over, the director told everyone to go to bed and rest, as they had to get up early to make breakfast tomorrow.

Yunxiu and Shiyu finally left the living room. They were only separated for one night, but they were reluctant to leave, as if they were going to be apart for years.

Two weeks ago, Country M.

When Pei Siqian found Xilin's current residence by following the address, he was somewhat unbelievable that the eldest daughter of the Meng family, who had once lived a life of luxury, could accept and adapt to such a simple and peaceful life in such a short period of time.

What surprised him even more was that he ran into Cheng Hao, the leader of Yunxiu's anti-fans, here.

"I'm sure you are Meng Yao."

Pei Siqian was straightforward and told the truth in front of her without hesitation. He was not interested in how surprised and scared she was.

The two men sat facing each other, one calm while the other panicked, but neither moved an inch.

Pei Siqian: "Meng Yao, if you prefer the name and identity of Xilin, I can call you that for now, but the facts are the facts, and I don't think you can change anything."

Meng Yao smiled bitterly. She didn't say a word. She leaned her arms on the table, covered her face and sobbed softly.

Pei Siqian poured her a glass of water.

She realized it belatedly, a trace of confusion flashed across her face. After a long silence, she picked up the cup and took two sips.

That thing was not foolproof, and she knew that sooner or later someone would find out, but she didn't expect that day to come so soon. She thought it would happen many, many years later.

Meng Yao didn't look at Pei Siqian. She turned her head to look at Cheng Hao, who was worried in the yard outside the house. She smiled at him comfortingly and spoke with difficulty:

"Ask whatever you want to know."

She no longer cared. Even if the Meng family knew that she was still alive, what would it matter? They didn't care about their own lives at all. If she died, she died. It would just be one less person to restrain the Shen family.

Pei Siqian asked her why she directed and acted in that play herself and why she left Beicheng.

Meng Yao looked at him, his eyes empty, like a dark pool of stagnant water, lifeless.

Outsiders have always thought that Meng Yao is extremely doted on in the Meng family. She is the little princess held in the palm of her parents' and grandparents' hands. As long as she wants something, the Meng family will find a way to let her get it, no matter what.

At the same time, she was also the most dazzling white rose in North City. Pure and beautiful in appearance, with a unique beauty and temperament, well-read, talented, and knowledgeable, she was a rare daughter of a prestigious family, no matter where she stood.

But only Meng Yao himself knew that these were just the results of the Meng family's painstaking efforts, and many things were just for show.

Regardless of her wishes, they cut off her hobbies that they considered shameful from a young age, used her as a tool to gain benefits and frame others, labeled her with labels that did not belong to her, and treated her like a commodity with a clear price tag.

But her mother still thought that doing so was for her own good and would pave the way for her future life.

At first, Meng Yao also thought so. She didn't even need the Meng family to PUA her. She could mentally PUA herself and hypnotize herself, thinking that they at least loved her. After all, they were related by blood.

But every time I made a mistake, I was always subjected to harsh insults, and sometimes even beatings, and was locked in the attic for several days with only water to drink.

She gradually realized that she was not their daughter, nor their granddaughter, nor the so-called eldest daughter of the Meng family. She was just a pawn.

In the Meng family, family affection is always just a fig leaf to protect external interests.

In order not to disappoint her parents and for her own survival, she did too many things she didn't want to do.

The one most deeply implicated among them was Yunxiu.

The method taught by the Meng family was indeed useful. She only needed to act pitiful and find opportunities to frame Yunxiu a few more times, and she would be able to get the attention of the people around her.

From childhood to adulthood, she tried every possible way to get close to Yunxiu, using various methods to break down her psychological defenses, and taking advantage of the fact that her biological father didn't want her and her peers were unwilling to associate with her, to guide her to develop a self-deprecating psychological consciousness and inferiority complex.

She told Yunxiu that the reason so many people liked her was because of her face, voice, and temperament...

At the suggestion of the Meng family, she guided Yunxiu to put on makeup and imitate herself in all aspects.

Fearing that applying makeup every day would be bad for the skin, she also taught Yunxiu a simple contouring technique to avoid using a lot of makeup to cover up her face every time.

Yunxiu's talent for painting was well-reflected in her makeup skills. At only six or seven years old, she had already mastered various makeup looks without any instruction. Sometimes, she couldn't tell which of them was the real Meng Yao.

Along the way, she watched Yunxiu gradually lose himself and his true self.
