The Counterattack of a Wealthy Family's Substitute

“Otherwise… what…” Wang Wan’s voice was trembling, but she looked at Yao Yingxi and didn’t think she was the kind of person who could go to extremes: “Even if my necklace isn’t from you, it just means that all of this was just an accident.”

“Going to the police station, my behavior was just normal…”

"Go to the police station?" Yao Yingxi interrupted Wang Wan, smiling slightly. "Aren't you being a bit too optimistic?"

Yao Yingxi narrowed her eyes, her gaze falling on the Western-style cutlery on the table not far away. She glanced at Anan, who immediately understood and went over to get it for her.

"Mr. Xi." While Anan went to get her the knife, Yao Yingxi turned to Xi Yuanchen and asked, "Can I get it back however I want?"

Xi Yuanchen looked at Yao Yingxi with a smile in his eyes, but it was not visible on his face. He gave a blank "hmm" without any emotion, but that "hmm" was a promise that carried great weight.

Yao Yingxi then asked, "Do I need to take Miss Wang somewhere else?"

Xi Yuanchen uttered the word "No need" in a low voice.

Yao Yingxi smiled brightly, just as Anan brought over the knife.

The blade reflected the indoor light, gleaming faintly with a cold light.

The already quiet banquet hall became even quieter. Everyone looked at Yao Yingxi with disbelief, and at the same time gained a deeper understanding of Xi Yuanchen's style.

This man is not to be trifled with; in fact, it's best to keep your distance from anything related to him.

Yao Yingxi took the card from Anan and walked towards Wang Wan again.

Wang Wan stared at the knife in Yao Yingxi's hand, her legs buckled, and she collapsed to the ground. Her voice trembled noticeably: "Yao Yingxi! What...what do you want to do?! Do you know who I am?! If you dare touch me! My father will never let you get away with this!"

Yao Yingxi slowly walked to Wang Wan's side, watching her squat down, her tone filled with an air of utter disdain: "I don't need to know who you are, and you can't stop me from doing what I want. As for whether your father will let me go, I don't know, but I do know that I can rely on Mr. Xi to not let you go right now."

"Do you believe it?" Yao Yingxi smiled, casually toying with the hilt of the knife in her hand.

Wang Wan grew increasingly afraid, but fortunately, her rationality did not completely collapse, and the fear in her eyes gradually turned into resentment.

Yao Yingxi leaned forward and slowly slid the back of her knife down Wang Wan's cheek: "Tell me, or not?"

Wang Wan wasn't particularly stupid; at least by this point, she knew she couldn't betray Xu Xinya. If she did, the Xu family would wipe out the Wang family before Xi Yuanchen even had to lift a finger.

Her eyes welled up with tears of fear. Wang Wan stared intently at Yao Yingxi, gritting her teeth as she pronounced her name, word by word: "Yao! Ying! Xi!"

Yao Yingxi hummed in response, just as the police arrived.

When Wang Wan saw the police, especially the police chief, she immediately cried out, "Uncle Gao, Uncle Gao! Help me!"

Today's "theft case" was unusual; the police chief personally responded to the call. He completely ignored Wang Wan's pleas for help, first scanning the room to see who was present before finally fixing his gaze on Yao Yingxi and Wang Wan.

He recognized Director Wang Wan, but Yao Yingxi... was a face he had never seen before.

These people may not say anything, but they have excellent eyesight.

He knew Xi Yuanchen, but they weren't at the point where they could strike up a conversation. His assistant was standing not far from Yao Yingxi, so this woman must be Xi Yuanchen's woman.

The chief coughed and said directly, "Come with us to the police station."

As soon as he finished speaking, his subordinates who came with him gestured for Wang Wan, Yao Yingxi, and the party organizer who had filed the police report to "please" him.

Yao Yingxi calmly stood up and walked back to Xi Yuanchen's side.

Xi Yuanchen reached out and held her hand in his palm, then looked at the police chief and said, "Chief Gao, please investigate this matter thoroughly. We will cooperate fully, but I need to take my person back."

Director Gao knew something about Xi Yuanchen's influence, and upon hearing this, he smiled and said, "Alright, Miss Yao, please go back with President Xi first. Once the matter is investigated, we will give President Xi and Miss Yao an explanation."

"Then I'll have to trouble Director Gao." Xi Yuanchen's gaze was indifferent as he left with Yao Yingxi.

The journey back was silent.

Upon arriving at the apartment, Yao Yingxi entered first and turned on the indoor light. Xi Yuanchen then called out to her.

Yao Yingxi turned around and looked at Xi Yuanchen.

"Yao Yingxi, who taught you to act so arrogantly?"

Xi Yuanchen's expression was cold, and his gaze was sharp.

Yao Yingxi looked at him, speechless at his words, and then, seeing his expression and gaze, she couldn't help but clench her hands.

"I'm asking you a question!" Xi Yuanchen's brows furrowed noticeably, his face revealing obvious impatience.

Yao Yingxi was ultimately afraid of Xi Yuanchen, and when he roared at her in a cold tone, she clenched her fists.

She made a forced eye contact with Xi Yuanchen and said, "It's Mr. Xi."

Xi Yuanchen was taken aback, and Yao Yingxi continued, "It was Mr. Xi who gave me the confidence to act arrogantly, which is why I dare to act arrogantly."

"You said that kindness without value is cowardice!" Yao Yingxi looked at him: "You also said..."

Before Yao Yingxi could finish speaking, she was suddenly pulled into Xi Yuanchen's arms, who grabbed her chin and kissed her.

She froze, staring at Xi Yuanchen with wide eyes, feeling him nibbling and tearing at her body.

"If I ask you one question, you have ten questions waiting for me to answer?"

Xi Yuanchen withdrew from her mouth, his lips pressed against hers, his breath brushing against her face, causing a slight tingling sensation.

Yao Yingxi swallowed hard and looked down at Xi Yuanchen.

Her eyes glistened with tears from the lack of oxygen during the kiss, and when she stared at someone, she could clearly see their silhouette.

Xi Yuanchen never said that the reason he wanted Yao Yingxi was not only because she resembled his An'an, but also because she had a pair of very alluring eyes.

The moment she looked at him, it seemed to convey a love that would last a lifetime.

No man could resist such temptation.

The temperature suddenly rose steadily, and Xi Yuanchen's muscles tensed up. He picked Yao Yingxi up and strode into the house.

Yao Yingxi instinctively wrapped her arms around his shoulders, but by the time she realized what was happening, Xi Yuanchen had already thrown her onto the bed and pressed himself against her.

Xi Yuanchen reached out and brushed the hair away from Yao Yingxi's face, then lowered his head and kissed her.

This time, Xi Yuanchen was more patient than ever before. Yao Yingxi kept telling herself to relax. But the more she told herself to relax, the harder it became for her to open up her body.

Xi Yuanchen stripped off all her clothes, lowered himself down, and Yao Yingxi flinched in pain, tears instantly welling up in her eyes.

Yao Yingxi felt that a long time had passed, and Xi Yuanchen's forehead was covered in sweat as he tried to suppress his emotions, but she still couldn't accept him more deeply.

“Mr. Xi…” Yao Yingxi said, listening to Xi Yuanchen’s heavy breathing, “I’ll take my medicine.”
