The Counterattack of a Wealthy Family's Substitute

"You're welcome. My name is Min Yue, and I'm also a senior majoring in management in the finance department."

Upon hearing this, Yao Yingxi's eyes lit up: "My name is Yao Yingxi."

"Yao Yingxi?" Min Yue repeated her name: "You're Yao Yingxi, the one the academy exceptionally admitted?"

Just as Yao Yingxi was about to answer, a bell rang. She looked up instinctively and belatedly realized that it was the bell for class. Helpless, Yao Yingxi had no choice but to say goodbye to Min Yue: "Thank you, senior. I'm going to class now."

Because she arrived at the classroom just in time, and because she was a new face, a group of people looked at her when she arrived.

Yao Yingxi stood at the door, looked into the classroom, and walked over after seeing a few empty seats at the back.

The finance and management department is mostly male, so it was the first time a woman had come, and her temperament and features were outstanding, which was quite surprising.

Which department?

"Didn't we see this girl at the door just now? Is she from our class?"

"They must be from another department, here to listen to the professor's lecture."

A group of people whispered among themselves, glancing back at Yao Yingxi every now and then.

Yao Yingxi seemed to have gotten used to being watched, so she didn't care.

She had barely sat down when a man in his fifties, with a refined appearance and wearing silver-rimmed glasses, walked in.

Standing on the podium, when he glanced at Yao Yingxi, a new face, he pushed up his glasses and said, "This is the first time a girl has come to my class in just a few days since the semester started." He assumed Yao Yingxi was from another department, since the finance and management department was mostly male.

A group of people turned around and openly looked in Yao Yingxi's direction. Yao Yingxi was bewildered for a moment before she realized what was happening.

As someone in her twenties, Yao Yingxi couldn't compare to a timid student who had never been in society before. She stood up from her desk.

"Professor, hello. My name is Yao Yingxi. I am a student in this department and class. I just couldn't come to class a few days ago because of some family matters."

Everyone was shocked. They had heard of Yao Yingxi's reputation since the day they started military training. This was the first time the college had made an exception and admitted a student in its decades-long history. Moreover, she was an adult self-study student, but her exam results were almost on par with the top scorer in the city.

Therefore, the school hung a long banner at the entrance, and almost the entire school was shocked. Of course, they knew, but they hadn't seen this person since military training, and assumed he had gone abroad to study.

After all, the results are truly remarkable. In the adult self-study examination institutions in Yuncheng, they all use high school textbooks, which is different from other places across the country.

To achieve this score in such a short time, one must possess exceptional abilities.

However, to everyone's surprise, they thought that someone who relied on their abilities would be very ordinary-looking and dressed in an ordinary manner, but they did not expect that he was completely different from what they thought. Not only were his clothes and appearance top-notch, but he was also first-class.

After listening to Yao Yingxi's self-introduction, the professor's eyes lit up. He had heard about her before, but he didn't know which class she was in. He nodded and gestured for Yao Yingxi to sit down.

……

When Xi Yuanchen arrived at the company, Anan quickly followed him in, holding documents in his hand: "Boss, the project in cooperation with KU has started. This is QI's proposal."

Xi Yuanchen calmly unbuttoned his suit jacket, took it off and hung it on the hanger. He turned around and glanced at Anan, saying as he unbuttoned his shirt cuffs, "Put it on the table."

Anan placed the proposal on his desk: "That person has already made his move. This morning, someone leaked the news of Liang Yuansheng's death to the media. Liang's stock hit its daily limit down this morning because no one from the Liang family was present. Now, Liang's has been declared bankrupt by the board of directors, and all of Liang Yuansheng's assets have been seized by the court and will be auctioned off by the bank."

What's Liang Pingyin's situation now?

"They seem to be at the funeral home now, not wanting to hold a memorial service for Liang Yuansheng. His body has already been cremated," Anan continued. The fall of a business tycoon is a truly lamentable event.

"Have someone keep a close eye on the Liang family," Xi Yuanchen instructed, sitting down in his chair.

Anan nodded and was about to turn and leave when Xi Yuanchen thought of Liu Hui and called out to Anan.

Anan turned around and looked at Xi Yuanchen.

Xi Yuanchen spoke up: "And Liu Hui, be careful not to be discovered. Report her to me anytime, anywhere."

It's possible that Liu Hui might be taking her anger out on Yao Yingxi because of Liang Yuansheng's situation, so he had to be on guard.

Anan nodded, turned around and went out again.

……

Night had fallen, and the air was cool in September. The funeral home was eerily quiet.

Holding Liang Yuansheng's urn, Liu Xin almost fainted from crying. Her eyes were red and swollen, her nose was red, and there were tear stains on her eyes. She was bent over and swayed as if a gust of wind would blow her over.

Liang Pingyin was in no better shape; she was dazed, her eyes were vacant, and she walked like a walking corpse.

Because we had just come from the funeral home, and the area was quite remote, no cars were passing by.

Her car never arrived, her bank cards were frozen, all her assets in Haicheng were confiscated, and her maids and driver all wanted to quit.

Liang Pingyin used almost all the money in her card to pay for the maid and driver, as well as Liang Yuansheng's cremation expenses, etc.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, the two people looked extremely disheveled, and the urns they were carrying made people want to avoid them. When a car stopped and saw the urns in their hands, the driver cursed a few times and drove away, thinking it was bad luck.

Liang Pingyin's phone rang, but she seemed not to hear it and kept walking. She didn't know how long she walked before she finally arrived at the apartment.

We bought a burial plot for Liang Yuansheng in Haicheng. We couldn't let him die and be buried in a foreign land, so we didn't bury him immediately but brought him back to the apartment.

The two entered the elevator and were about to press the floor button when a resident from the same apartment building rushed over. Just as he was about to enter, he saw the urn in front of him, and then saw Liang Pingyin and Liu Xin. He quickly took a few steps back, his voice trembling as he said, "I...I'll wait...wait for the next one."

It was midnight, after all, and to be greeted by a pale-faced, dazed man and an urn would frighten anyone.

……

"Why aren't you asleep yet?" Xi Yuanchen had just returned to the bedroom after finishing his work in the study. He saw that the light was still on and Yao Yingxi was lying on the bed, holding a textbook and reading.

Xi Yuanchen frowned: "Isn't there a business class tomorrow?"

"I want to talk to you." Since returning from get out of class, Xi Yuanchen was busy until after 7 p.m. when he came back for dinner. After dinner, he went to his study and has been working ever since. She didn't know if there was a problem with the company or something else.

Because when she asked today, Xi Yuanchen didn't answer, and Yao Yingxi didn't plan to ask either, fearing she would get the same result.

The two of them barely spoke a word today, and she also wanted to share her joy of learning business with Xi Yuanchen, so she wasn't sleepy.

"We can talk about it tomorrow." Xi Yuanchen glanced at her, walked to the wardrobe, took out his pajamas, and turned to Yao Yingxi, telling her, "Go to sleep quickly, don't wait for me."

Yao Yingxi opened her mouth, about to speak, but Xi Yuanchen interrupted her, blocking her way.

Feeling a little disappointed, she nodded, placed the book in her hand on the bedside table, turned on the bedside lamp, and then turned off the light on the wall below the bed.
