The Counterattack of a Wealthy Family's Substitute

A long time passed before Yao Yingxi answered his question.

"Miss Yao?"

Anan reminded her again before Yao Yingxi finally replied, "Okay, I understand."

After saying that, he hung up the phone.

Yao Yingxi sat on the sofa in the living room for a while before getting up to go to the study.

The letter of intent for cooperation was still on the desk. Yao Yingxi walked over, stared at it, and for a moment had a very childish thought: she wanted to tear it up.

A few seconds later, Yao Yingxi realized what was happening, smiled, and picked up the letter of intent for cooperation.

Yao Yingxi took a shower, changed her clothes, and even made herself breakfast before heading out with the letter of intent for cooperation.

During the morning rush hour, Yao Yingxi was stuck in traffic for nearly an hour and a half to get to GP Company.

Yao Yingxi got out of the taxi and found that it was raining.

She looked up before walking into the company.

Upon arriving at the front desk, Yao Yingxi explained her purpose, and the receptionist asked her to wait a moment while she made a phone call.

Not long after, Anan came out of the elevator.

Anan walked up to Yao Yingxi, who handed him the letter of intent to cooperate and then turned to leave.

"..." Anan quickly chased after her, stopped Yao Yingxi, and smiled: "Miss Yao, President Xi asked you to deliver it to him personally."

Yao Yingxi looked at Anan with a cold face. Anan continued, "Miss Yao, please."

Yao Yingxi tightened her grip on her handbag and headed for the elevator.

Anan escorted Yao Yingxi to the door of Xi Yuanchen's office, handed her the letter of intent for cooperation, and then left.

Yao Yingxi stood at the door, took a deep breath, and then raised her hand to knock.

"Enter."

Xi Yuanchen's voice came from inside, and Yao Yingxi pushed the door open and went in.

Today she was wearing a cream-colored V-neck sweater and loose-fitting suit pants. Her hair was down, and she walked up to Xi Yuanchen with a blank face and no expression.

Instead of calling him "Mr. Xi" as usual, she placed the letter of intent directly on his desk and turned to leave.

Xi Yuanchen frowned and said in a cold voice, "Stop!"

Yao Yingxi stopped in her tracks. Xi Yuanchen walked from behind his desk to stand in front of her, staring at her: "Who are you giving that cold look to?"

Yao Yingxi looked at him and mechanically forced a professional smile: "Mr. Xi, the letter of intent has been delivered to you. Is there anything else you need? If not, may I leave?"

Xi Yuanchen felt a twitch in his temple, and his handsome face turned cold: "Are you throwing a tantrum at me?"

"How could I dare?" Yao Yingxi laughed. "I've said it before, I know my own identity, and I know that you are my sugar daddy now. I have to make you happy and cheerful. If I don't make you happy, I won't even know what happened if I suddenly fall from grace one day."

Yao Yingxi's words were sarcastic and cynical. Xi Yuanchen looked at her and smiled, "Since you know that, don't try to be difficult with me."

"You know you're not qualified."

In a light and gentle tone, they said the most hurtful things.

Yao Yingxi looked at Xi Yuanchen and smiled: "Why am I not qualified? Xi Yuanchen, I flatter you and fawn over you because you want something from me. But you clearly told me the day before yesterday that you would not help me deal with the Xu family. Since you won't help me, why should I flatter and fawn over you?"

Xi Yuanchen looked at Yao Yingxi, somewhat surprised.

Their relationship had lasted for about a month. Since Yao Yingxi agreed to come to his side, she had been very docile towards him. He had almost forgotten how prickly she used to be.

Xi Yuanchen smiled, the purest smile Yao Yingxi had ever seen on his face.

"Yao Yingxi, you are a smart person, but that's all you are."

Yao Yingxi looked at him, and Xi Yuanchen continued, "I can help you, but do you want to kill the person who killed your mother yourself, or do you want me to take care of it for you?"

"I've said it before, there's no one around me who suffers bullying and then just keeps quiet."

"If you want to kill someone, I, Xi Yuanchen, can hand you a knife, but I will absolutely not help you kill someone."

Yao Yingxi looked at Xi Yuanchen, stunned by his words.

Xi Yuanchen took a step forward, getting closer to Yao Yingxi: "Yao Yingxi, if you want revenge, you have to do it yourself."

After saying that, Xi Yuanchen took a step back.

Anan knocked on the door and came in. He glanced at the situation in the room and said, "Boss, everyone is waiting for you in the conference room."

Xi Yuanchen glanced at Yao Yingxi, then turned and walked out.

After Xi Yuanchen left, Yao Yingxi was left alone in the large office.

Opposite the house was a glass wall. Yao Yingxi turned her head and realized that the rain outside had started to intensify at some point.

The raindrops hit the glass, turning into streaks of water that crisscrossed and slid down little by little.

Xi Yuanchen said that she had to take revenge herself.

They killed her mother; they drove her to this point.

The thrill of personally killing her enemy must come from her own hands.

Yao Yingxi closed her eyes, walked to the sofa next to her, sat down, and stared at the glass wall while pursing her lips.

Xi Yuanchen's meeting lasted almost the entire day. Midway through, Anan asked him if he wanted to take a break, but Xi Yuanchen said no.

I returned to the office at exactly five o'clock after the meeting.

Xi Yuanchen pushed the door open and went in. Yao Yingxi heard the sound, turned around, and then stood up.

Anan was about to follow Xi Yuanchen in, but when he saw Yao Yingxi stop, he waited for Xi Yuanchen to go in, then pulled the door shut.

Xi Yuanchen walked straight to the desk and reached for the water glass on it, only to find that it was empty.

Xi Yuanchen raised his hand and pressed the intercom, then asked his secretary to bring in a cup of coffee.

Yao Yingxi clenched her hands and slowly walked to Xi Yuanchen's side. Just as she was about to speak, her secretary brought in coffee.

After the secretary left, Yao Yingxi finally spoke: "Mr. Xi, I..."

“I understand what you mean, I…” Yao Yingxi took a deep breath and looked into his eyes: “I hope you can help me. I will take revenge for my mother, Yueyue, and myself.”

Xi Yuanchen held his cup and looked at Yao Yingxi without saying a word.

Looking at his expressionless face, Yao Yingxi clenched her hands and continued, "I'm sorry, I..."

"Xu Xinya invited me to dinner tonight," Xi Yuanchen suddenly said.

"So..." All of Yao Yingxi's courage vanished in an instant: "You have no choice but to cooperate with Hengyuan Group?"

Xi Yuanchen placed the coffee on the table without answering Yao Yingxi's question.

Yao Yingxi closed her eyes briefly, then opened them again: "I understand. I'll go back to my apartment now."

After saying that, Yao Yingxi turned around.

"Stop." Xi Yuanchen called out to Yao Yingxi, pointing to the letter of intent on the table: "Have you seen this document?"
