Chapter 12 Reborn, Still a Substitute

To be precise, Secretary Zhu was Lu Bolin's confidant.

The Lu family is large and powerful, but its internal relationships are complex and fraught with contradictions.

Lu Bolin is Lu Bozhou's cousin. He was a playboy since childhood, but because of his grandfather's favoritism, he now takes charge of the entire Lu Group.

Now, Lu Bozhou's own Dingsheng Group is thriving and can even rival the Lu family.

Therefore, Lu Bolin always regarded Lu Bozhou as a thorn in his side.

The relationship between the cousins ​​has always been strained.

But Jiang Mian knew that Lu Bozhou's hostility towards Lu Bolin was not because of the company or family assets.

It's because Xu Yawei likes Lu Bolin.

Secretary Zhu noticed that Jiang Mian seemed a little distracted. "Miss Jiang?"

"Hmm?" Jiang Mian snapped out of her thoughts.

"Excuse me, Mr. Lu would like to have a chat with you." Secretary Zhu's face wore an impeccably polite smile.

Secretary Zhu gestured for him to proceed, pointing to a dark-colored luxury car in the distance. "It won't take you too long."

Jiang Mian wasn't actually interested. Lu Bolin wasn't a good person; he was a school bully during his middle school years.

This wasn't ordinary bullying; it drove an introverted and impoverished classmate to the brink of humiliation, causing him to jump from the fourth floor.

Jiang Mian was several grades younger than him, and everyone had heard about his numerous misdeeds...

Therefore, she has absolutely no desire to have any interaction with Lu Bolin now.

but……

Lu Bozhou is Xiao Shitou's father.

He is well, so that the children can be better.

So Jiang Mian still planned to go and listen to what Lu Bolin had to say.

As soon as Jiang Mian got into the car, she saw Lu Bolin sitting next to her.

The children and grandchildren of the Lu family are all good-looking, and Lu Bolin is no exception. His appearance makes it impossible to tell that he is already thirty-four years old.

It's not hard to see the cold, stern features of the Lu family descendants in their eyes and brows.

Lu Bolin froze when he saw Jiang Mian. His gaze lingered on her for a long while.

"It really is... similar," Lu Bolin muttered to himself. "No wonder the fourth brother treats me so differently."

Jiang Mian frowned upon hearing this; she had heard far too many such words in her past life.

Everyone says she looks like Xu Yawei, no wonder she caught Lu Bozhou's eye. Lu Bozhou must be obsessed to settle for a fake.

To put it more nicely, she ruined herself, willingly becoming a substitute, enduring humiliation for the Jiang family.

To put it bluntly, she's shameless.

Even at her wedding with Lu Bozhou, many guests came to see her make a fool of herself.

Even after marriage, her position in the Lu family remained awkward; no one in the Lu family took her seriously.

Jiang Mian could try to ignore all of these things, but what she couldn't ignore was Lu Bozhou's attitude.

He was the one who could forcefully refute the outside voices that said she was a body double.

But he never refuted it, not even once. Lu Bozhou's tacit acceptance only fueled these voices.

This also led Xu Yawei to completely disregard her. Even though she knew they were already married, she acted as if Jiang Mian didn't exist.

Later, when she wanted to go for her prenatal checkup, she asked Lu Bozhou to accompany her, but he was always busy with work and couldn't leave the company.

At that time, Dingsheng was on the rise, and although Jiang Mian was disappointed, she could only accept and understand it.

But then, she found Lu Bozhou and her together in the news, tabloids, or in Xu Yawei's WeChat Moments.

Jiang Mian then understood that Lu Bozhou wasn't busy, he just didn't have time to deal with her.

With each disappointment, she grew increasingly disheartened.

He was even absent on the day she gave birth because of Xu Yawei.

Jiang Mian was left alone to face death on the cold operating table.

Unexpectedly, in this second life, she heard such words again, saying that she and Xu Yawei looked alike.

Right.

Jiang Mian thought to herself with a self-deprecating smile that Lu Bozhou would step in to help her, punish that drunken hooligan, and even get her compensation.

Perhaps it's because even if she were to live a second life, her face would still resemble Xu Yawei's.

"Is there something you need?" Jiang Mian asked.

Lu Bolin smiled and asked, "Miss Jiang, do you want money?"

Lu Bolin spoke with certainty.

For a poor person like her, she probably wouldn't refuse a windfall.

To everyone's surprise, Jiang Mian replied without hesitation, "No, thank you."

Lu Bolin was surprised by Jiang Mian's answer; his eyes turned cold and his voice became chilling.

"Don't be stubborn and ask for trouble. I could crush your gambling father anytime, anywhere."

Jiang Mian didn't care whether Jiang Da lived or died.

But Lu Bolin continued, "And your younger brother who studies at Luocheng No. 1 High School, he's quite young. He may have a bright future, or he may not."

Jiang Mian thought of the classmate who was bullied by Lu Bolin and forced to jump off the fourth floor.

Her brows furrowed, and she had no choice but to compromise. "Mr. Lu, what exactly do you want?"

“I want you to get closer to Lu Bozhou,” Lu Bolin said.

It turns out he wanted her to act as an informant, gathering information from Lu Bozhou...

That's giving her way too much credit. Jiang Mian was about to say that, but then she thought about it again!

She changed the subject, looking at Lu Bolin, "Then can you arrange for me to work as a nanny for Lu Bozhou's son? I heard he wants to find a nanny for his son."

Upon hearing this, Lu Bolin narrowed his eyes, a sinister smile playing on his lips, his words tinged with suspicion.

"You wouldn't even take the money I offered you, but you want to be Lu Bozhou's son's nanny?"

Jiang Mian immediately replied, "President Lu, although I am poor, I am not stupid. I know what money I can take and what money I cannot take. I may not be able to accept money given to me for free by someone of your status."

"In that case, it's better to have a stable job. Since you were able to find me, you must have investigated me. Given my current situation, being able to work as a nanny for the young master of a wealthy family would be a very good way out."

Her reasoning seemed to convince Lu Bolin.

But his expression remained grim. "This matter won't be easy. Lu Bozhou is protecting his son very well. I'll find an opportunity to make arrangements. Wait for my news."

Although Jiang Mian hoped to become Xiao Shitou's nanny, she felt relieved upon hearing Lu Bolin's words.

Fortunately, the son was always well protected.

Lu Bolin originally came to see what kind of person this woman was who could make the fourth brother treat her differently.

Let's also talk about 'cooperation'.

Now that the deal was settled, Lu Bolin didn't linger and left quickly.

After getting out of Lu Bolin's car, Jiang Mian walked towards the breakfast shop.

He pondered a solution the whole way.

Before arriving at the breakfast shop where I was working, I finally came up with a solution!

Jiang Mian quickly took out her phone to make a call, but she had only just picked it up and hadn't even had a chance to move it yet.

Then she heard a voice calling her enthusiastically and urgently.

"Mianmian! Come quick! We're overwhelmed!"

"Coming!"

Jiang Mian could only put her phone away for the time being and quicken her pace to move forward.

Unbeknownst to her, a figure lurked in the shadows, silently recording everything from when Jiang Mian got into Lu Bolin's car to this very moment...
