The Counterattack of a Wealthy Family's Substitute

Xu Xinya ran out of the hotel lobby in disheveled clothes. She went crazy and stepped on the gas pedal, sending the car rushing into traffic like an arrow.

Her eyes were brimming with tears that were about to fall, and her mind was filled with the images of Xiang Rui before he assaulted her.

She was locked up by Xu Hengyuan for a whole week. A week ago, Xu Hengyuan released her and apologized to her. Tonight, they agreed to have a family dinner together. But she never expected that her own parents would drug her and send her to another man's bed.

The image of Xiang Rui repeatedly pounding on her kept flashing through her mind. Xu Xinya screamed in pain as the car crashed into the green belt in front of her with a loud bang.

All she could see was crimson. Before losing consciousness, Xu Xinya had only one thought in her mind: Yao Yingxi was the one who caused her to become like this. She was going to find Yao Yingxi and take revenge. She was going to kill her with her own hands!

…………

On her way home from her part-time job, Yao Yingxi felt as if someone was following her. She quickened her pace and walked a short distance before suddenly turning around, only to find nothing there.

After several attempts, she still didn't see anyone suspicious. Yao Yingxi realized she was overthinking it and relaxed.

After Xi Yuanchen told her not to fall in love with him, he never came to the apartment again.

At first, Yao Yingxi was afraid that Xi Yuanchen would abandon her and even thought about apologizing to him. But after a few days, she gave up the idea of ​​apologizing to him.

In their relationship, she was the weaker party. Xi Yuanchen warned her not to fall in love with him, and she listened to him and didn't love him. She wasn't wrong in this matter, so she didn't want to back down.

The two lost contact just like that. Yao Yingxi lived a very regular life during this period, shuttling between her part-time job and her apartment, and spending the rest of her time at home reviewing her senior year courses, preparing to go to university.

She had figured it out. Yao Yingyue had basically not asked her for money since she went abroad. A while ago, she even called to tell her that she didn't need to borrow money from her and Liang Yu anymore. So she could save her money now and go to school after the adult college entrance examination.

After cooking herself a bowl of noodles and eating, Yao Yingxi sat on the carpet in the living room and began to read.

After watching for more than forty minutes, Yao Yingxi got up to get some water when the doorbell rang.

Yao Yingxi paused for a moment, then put the water glass in her hand on the table.

This apartment belongs to Xi Yuanchen. She lives here, and the only person who comes here is Xi Yuanchen.

Yao Yingxi clenched her fists, took a deep breath, walked to the door, composed herself, and opened it.

In an instant, Yao Yingxi realized that Xi Yuanchen knew the apartment's password and had his fingerprint on the door lock. If he came back, he probably wouldn't ring the doorbell.

But it was too late. Yao Yingxi had just opened the door a crack when it was pushed open with great force, and Xu Xinya's face, wrapped in gauze, appeared in front of Yao Yingxi.

"May……"

Before Yao Yingxi could utter a single word, Xu Xinya had already grabbed her neck and was laughing viciously: "Yao Yingxi! You ruined me! I'm going to kill you today! I'm going to make you die today!"

Xu Xinya grabbed Yao Yingxi by the neck and pinned her against the cabinet in the entryway.

She used deadly force, choking Yao Yingxi until she was suffocating. In her struggle, she knocked over an ornament on the cabinet.

Xu Xinya's face was contorted in a grotesque grimace, while Yao Yingxi's ears rang from suffocation.

As the air in her chest gradually disappeared, Yao Yingxi felt a sense of despair.

She was unwilling! Unwilling! Had she done so much, only to die at the hands of the Xu family in the end? No! She wouldn't!

However, her struggles gradually weakened, and all that remained in her ears was Xu Xinya's frantic voice: "Yao Yingxi! Die! You bitch, die!"

With a "bang," a large amount of air rushed into her nose, and Yao Yingxi coughed violently. Gradually, her thoughts became clear again.

The air was filled with the crisp scent of cedar. Yao Yingxi turned her head, her eyes blurred with tears, and saw Xi Yuanchen half-squatting with his arm around her, his face grim as he looked at Xu Xinya, who had been kicked and was vomiting blood: "Call the police!"

Yao Yingxi coughed violently for a long, long time. By the time she stopped coughing, Xu Xinya had already been taken away by the police.

Xi Yuanchen stayed by her side the whole time. Yao Yingxi looked at him, then suddenly leaned over and hugged his neck: "Xi Yuanchen, I almost didn't see you again!"

The fear of almost dying slowly crept in at this moment, and Yao Yingxi hugged him tightly, her hands gripping his collar tightly.

Yao Yingxi had a deep scar around her neck. Xi Yuanchen looked at it, his already cold eyes becoming even colder, but when he spoke, his tone was gentler than ever before: "It's alright, it's all over, don't be afraid, don't be afraid."

Xi Yuanchen soothed Yao Yingxi with unprecedented patience, and after a long while, Yao Yingxi gradually fell asleep.

When Anan arrived, Yao Yingxi had just fallen asleep a few minutes earlier. He lowered his voice and said the word "old," and Xi Yuanchen looked at him warningly.

Anan froze, immediately shut his mouth, and even his breathing became very light. He stood motionless in the living room like a statue.

Ten minutes later, after Yao Yingxi had fallen into a deep sleep, Xi Yuanchen picked her up and carried her to the bedroom.

Xi Yuanchen put Yao Yingxi on the bed, pulled the blanket over her, and his gaze fell on the bruises on her neck again, and the ruthlessness between his brows could not be concealed.

He walked out, and Anan thought he was alright. She went up to him to report on her work, but when she met his gaze, she immediately retreated and watched helplessly as Xi Yuanchen took the medicine box and went back into the bedroom.

Yao Yingxi didn't sleep for long. She woke up when Xi Yuanchen applied medicine to her neck with a cotton swab.

She had been crying for a long time. The bedroom was dimly lit. It took her several seconds to react after opening her eyes. Then she grabbed Xi Yuanchen's weak hand and asked in a hoarse voice, "Mr. Xi, where is Xu Xinya?"

Yao Yingxi is not a particularly kind person, but before what just happened, she never intended to push anyone to the brink, nor did she ever think of taking anyone's life.

However, the Xu family has tried to kill her time and time again, so how could she let them go?

Xi Yuanchen paused as he applied the medicine to her, then frowned as he looked at her.

Yao Yingxi's voice was actually very, very unpleasant at this moment, hoarse and rough like she was shouting about sand, broken: "Xu Xinya just tried to kill me."

Xi Yuanchen's gaze remained fixed on her face, and Yao Yingxi slowly revealed a smile: "How do we get it back?"
