The Counterattack of a Wealthy Family's Substitute

At this moment, Xi Yuanchen and Anan had not yet left the company. From afar, they saw Ye An'an standing at the company entrance. Because she looked somewhat like Yao Yingxi, most of the people in the company had seen Yao Yingxi before, and they couldn't help but glance at Ye An'an a few more times.

Just as the employees were about to whisper among themselves, they saw Xi Yuanchen walk out. The group of employees obediently walked away before speaking: "That person looks like Miss Yao. Who is she waiting for?"

"I don't know." The employees glanced back and were about to turn back when one of them said, "Wait for the boss. Do you think she's going to find the boss?" Just then, Xi Yuanchen came out of the company, and Ye An'an saw him and ran up to him with a smile.

When Xi Yuanchen saw Ye An'an, he was stunned. Even Anan was surprised. Yesterday, she had just happened to pass by while shopping. Today, it must have been intentional.

"Yuanchen, I thought you were going to come out very late." Ye An'an smiled broadly, her eyes brimming with laughter as she looked at Xi Yuanchen.

Anan glanced at Xi Yuanchen, only to see Xi Yuanchen pursing his chin and staring at Ye An'an in front of him.

"How did you come?"

"I came to have lunch with you? I couldn't reach you on the phone at noon, and I was worried you were too busy to eat, so I came over to wait for you to eat together." Ye An'an stepped forward and took Xi Yuanchen's arm, her actions were practiced, as if the two of them had always been like this.

Xi Yuanchen paused, took out his phone and glanced at it. There were no missed calls from Yao Yingxi.

Judging by the time, Yao Yingxi should have finished class by now, but she hasn't come to the company to find him. Remembering how Yao Yingxi lied to him at noon, Xi Yuanchen put his phone back in his pocket, feeling unhappy. "What do you want to eat?" he asked, looking up at Ye An'an.

The employees who hadn't gone far were all surprised to see Xi Yuanchen talking to that person and the two even getting into the same car together.

After all, Xi Yuanchen hadn't acted strangely these past few days, but now he's with a woman who looks a lot like Miss Yao, and the two are behaving intimately. Could it be that he broke up with Miss Yao?

So the boss was so upset that he found someone like Miss Yao, perhaps someone who had undergone plastic surgery, to be his stand-in?

Those people imagined a novel about a domineering CEO's stand-in.

When Yao Yingxi called around 6 PM, Xi Yuanchen was having dinner with Ye An'an. When his phone rang, he knew it was Yao Yingxi calling, but he didn't answer and hung up immediately.

Yao Yingxi frowned as she looked at her phone, which was now switched off, and called Anan with some unease.

"Miss Yao?"

"Secretary Nan, is Yuan Chen still in the company?"

“Ah…” Anan hesitated, “Yes, the boss is working overtime.” He knew that Xi Yuanchen and Ye Anan had gone out to eat, but he didn’t dare to tell Yao Yingxi, so he could only keep it a secret for Xi Yuanchen.

After hanging up the phone, as if someone was watching the two of them, Yao Yingxi's phone received an anonymous message with a photo. Xi Yuanchen was eating at the time, and because the photo was taken from a distance, Yao Yingxi could only see that it was a girl, but she couldn't make out what the woman in the photo looked like.

Yao Yingxi may be immune to her own body; if an observer were to look closely, they would find that this girl's figure is almost identical to hers.

Holding her phone, Yao Yingxi stared at the photo, trying to comfort herself. Perhaps Xi Yuanchen was just having dinner with business partners, and Anan probably knew that, but was just worried that she would misunderstand, so he kept it from her.

She tried to comfort herself over and over again. Yao Yingxi came out of her workroom and sat in the living room for a while, but her mind not only didn't calm down, it became even more chaotic.

Yao Yingxi had no choice but to find something to do to distract herself.

She made dinner, but only ate a few bites before putting down her chopsticks, turning around, and leaving the restaurant on her own.

As soon as Yao Yingxi entered the living room, her phone rang. She paused for a moment when she saw the unfamiliar number on the screen, hesitated for a second, and then swiped to answer: "Hello."

"Miss Yao, it's me, Su Zhi."

Yao Yingxi paused, somewhat surprised that Su Zhi would call her: "Dr. Su, it's so late, is there something you need?"

"You didn't come to the hospital to clean your wound today, so I called to ask. I have to travel for work every day and I'm on duty at the hospital right now. Do you want to come over and have your wound cleaned?" Although other doctors could do this, as a friend of Yao Yingxi, I was worried that if I was away on business and Yao Yingxi didn't come, since she hadn't come this morning.

Based on his understanding of Xi Yuanchen, if Xi Yuanchen knew the time, he would never allow Yao Yingxi to do this, unless Xi Yuanchen was on a business trip and not in Yuncheng.

Yao Yingxi paused for a moment, glanced at the clock, and realized it was only eight o'clock in the evening, still very early.

"Okay, I'll go now." Actually, she could have Xi Yuanchen come with her tomorrow, but she was feeling upset right now. Staying in the apartment would only lead to overthinking, so she might as well go out for a walk.

Yao Yingxi changed her shoes, put on her hat, and went out. The bodyguard standing not far downstairs saw Yao Yingxi and quickly stepped forward: "Miss Yao, it's so late, where are you going? We'll take you there."

Yao Yingxi glanced around. At this time of day, no cars were coming in. She nodded and said, "Okay." A moment later, the bodyguards drove up in front of Yao Yingxi, and a female bodyguard opened the car door.

Yao Yingxi got in the car, rolled the window all the way down, and tried to feel the wind to calm herself down and analyze what the anonymous person's intentions were in sending that photo, and who sent it.

At the same time, Xi Yuanchen escorted Ye An'an to an old town area.

Before getting out of the car, Ye An'an asked, "Yuanchen, have you been in contact with Xiaoya while I was gone? I came back recently and wanted to find her, but I don't know where that brat has gone. She's even changed her old SIM card."

Upon hearing this, Xi Yuanchen's heart skipped a beat. He said stiffly, "Yes, he ran away a while ago. He might have gone somewhere else. I'll help you look for him later."

The murderer who raped and killed Ye Xiaoya has not yet been found, and Ye An'an has only just returned. It is unknown whether it is the real Ye An'an or an imposter. Therefore, for safety reasons and to prevent Ye An'an from being traumatized, he has kept it a secret.

Ye An'an paused for a moment, then nodded: "Okay, then be careful on your way back."

The car door closed, and Xi Yuanchen's car remained parked in the same spot. He took out a cigarette from the storage compartment, put it in his mouth, and looked back at Yan'an every three steps, waving to himself, indicating that he should go back.

Xi Yuanchen lowered his head and lit a cigarette.

The smoke drifted up and blocked Xi Yuanchen's view, making him vaguely see that Ye An'an at this moment seemed to have Yao Yingxi's face.

He blinked, and when he opened his eyes again, the person in the distance was none other than Ye An'an.

Xi Yuanchen asked himself if he was happy that Ye An'an had returned, but the answer was that he didn't know.

He didn't know whether he should be happy or not. Although he was able to come back, he felt that his life with Yao Yingxi had been disrupted, and now he didn't know whether he should be with Yao Yingxi or with Ye An'an.

Xi Yuanchen was conflicted. Was he attracted to Yao Yingxi because of her face, or was he attracted to her personality?
