The Counterattack of a Wealthy Family's Substitute

Yao Yingxi spoke slowly and deliberately, never having felt so humble before.

Xi Yuanchen looked at her, feeling an inexplicable sense of irritation.

Reaching out, Xi Yuanchen pulled Yao Yingxi up from the ground, pinched her chin, lowered his head to kiss her, and then tore off her cotton nightgown.

Yao Yingxi lay almost naked beneath him. Xi Yuanchen squinted at her, his breathing becoming heavy, but he still restrained himself. He stared at Yao Yingxi and said in a low, hoarse voice, "Yao Yingxi, I gave you a chance. If you choose to continue following me, no matter how much you resist having a relationship with me, I will not consider your feelings or pity you."

"I understand." Yao Yingxi looked at Xi Yuanchen, reached out to hook her arms around his neck, and looked up to kiss him.

Xi Yuanchen's eyes darkened, and he quickly took the initiative.

Yao Yingxi closed her eyes, trying her best to convince herself to accept him, but she still felt pain.

The affair didn't end until it was completely dark. Afterwards, Xi Yuanchen went to the bathroom to take a shower.

Yao Yingxi lay on the bed, her expression one of utter exhaustion. There was some discomfort between her legs, but it wasn't unbearable.

After a while, Yao Yingxi got out of bed. Just as she finished dressing, Xi Yuanchen came out of the bathroom. Their eyes met, and Xi Yuanchen spoke first: "What do you want?"

His voice was deep and cold, but it no longer had the indifference it had before.

Yao Yingxi knew he wasn't angry anymore, and she no longer had to live in fear that Xi Yuanchen would find out about her illness.

But... she felt she had completely degraded herself to the dust.

Lowering her eyelashes, Yao Yingxi answered Xi Yuanchen's question: "I'll go cook. We haven't had dinner yet."

"No need." Xi Yuanchen held her hand. "I ordered takeout."

Just as Xi Yuanchen finished speaking, the doorbell rang.

Yao Yingxi pulled her hand away from Xi Yuanchen's grasp and quickly went out to get the takeout.

After dinner, Xi Yuanchen went straight to his study to work, while Yao Yingxi cleaned up the dishes and went back to her bedroom.

People may gradually become numb. If what happened today had happened in the past, Yao Yingxi would have despised herself and felt sad for a long time. But today, after she tidied up and lay in bed, she only lost her mind for a short while before falling asleep.

When Yao Yingxi opened her eyes the next morning, the other side of the bed was empty.

She lay in bed for a while before getting up.

After washing up and having breakfast, Yao Yingxi changed into a formal suit and went out for her job interview.

Before Yao Yingyue went abroad, Yao Yingxi had already scheduled several interviews. After sending Yao Yingyue abroad, the job search was put on hold. Today, with nothing much to do, and a job fair happening in Yuncheng, Yao Yingxi decided to go and see if there were any suitable jobs for her.

As I left the apartment and boarded the bus to the job fair, my phone rang in my bag.

Yao Yingxi took her phone out of her bag, glanced at the screen, and saw it was an unfamiliar number: "Hello."

"Yao Yingxi! Get out here and see me!"

A familiar, angry middle-aged male voice rang out beside her. Yao Yingxi reached out and pulled open the car window beside her, a smile appearing on her face: "Xu Hengyuan?"

"You unfilial daughter, I'm giving you half an hour to see me, or don't blame me for disregarding our father-daughter relationship!"

A cold wind blew in through the car window, hitting her face. Yao Yingxi's smile widened even more: "Xu Hengyuan, what right do you have to talk to me like that now?"

"Father-daughter relationship?" Yao Yingxi burst out laughing: "Do you know what? This is the funniest joke I've heard all year."

"you!"

Xu Hengyuan was speechless on the phone, blocked by Yao Yingxi. His anger was building up inside him with nowhere to go, and he turned pale with rage.

Yao Yingxi could easily imagine his expression at this moment, and a surge of vengeful pleasure welled up in her heart. She continued, "Xu Hengyuan, times have changed."

"Soon, very soon, you will see me destroy the most important things in your life."

"I'm waiting for the day you go to hell and kneel before my mother to repent."

Yao Yingxi made no attempt to hide her hatred for Xu Hengyuan, and then hung up the phone.

When the car arrived at the station, Yao Yingxi got off.

…………

Hengyuan Group.

After hearing Yao Yingxi's words and the continuous busy tones coming from the phone, Xu Hengyuan's face turned pale with anger.

He raised his hand and smashed his phone against the opposite wall, shattering the glass of the phone screen all over the floor.

The secretary waiting in Xu Hengyuan's office for his instructions was so frightened that he didn't dare to utter a sound, minimizing his presence!

"You bastard! How dare you talk to me like that!" Xu Hengyuan cursed Yao Yingxi angrily, each harsh word spitting out: "Wait until you leave Xi Yuanchen, then I'll see how I deal with you!"

After he had finished cursing and smashed most of the things in the office, Xu Hengyuan finally regained some of his composure and calmed down a bit.

Secretary Li was waiting for his next arrangements. A meeting was about to start, and Xu Hengyuan looked as if he had already finished preparing for the meeting.

Despite his fear, Xiao Li forced himself to speak: "Boss, the meeting is about to start, you..."

"The meeting is canceled!" Xu Hengyuan walked out with a dark face, his voice ruthless: "Call President Xi of GP and tell him I have something to talk to him about."

Xiao Li followed behind Xu Hengyuan, doing as instructed with trepidation.

GP Group.

Anan stood in front of Xi Yuanchen's desk and reported all the arrangements made at the meeting before speaking: "Boss, Mr. Xu from Hengyuan Group has arrived. He's been waiting for you in the meeting room for a while and said he has something important to discuss with you."

Xi Yuanchen was processing documents when he heard this and looked up at Anan.

Anan added, "It's probably because of our sudden removal of Hengyuan from the project, or maybe..."

Xi Yuanchen looked up at Anan. Anan, caught in his gaze, quickly finished her sentence: "I came for Miss Yao."

It's not hard to guess what Xu Hengyuan is thinking. Besides the project, he probably came today to sow discord between Xi Yuanchen and Yao Yingxi.

Upon hearing this, Xi Yuanchen turned off his computer desktop, stood up, and walked out.

Seeing this, Anan quickly followed.

When Xi Yuanchen arrived at the reception room, Xu Hengyuan had already been waiting for more than two hours.

Xu Hengyuan's face was very ugly, and he kept muttering things like "What kind of person is Xi Yuanchen?" His secretary, who was with him, glanced outside and couldn't help but try to persuade him, "Mr. Xu, please don't be angry. If the people at GP hear what you're saying, then we'll have no hope of cooperating with GP at all."

No sooner had Xu Hengyuan's secretary finished speaking than the door to the reception room was pushed open.
