The Counterattack of a Wealthy Family's Substitute

The person who was called "General Manager Wang" immediately stepped out from the group of people. As he walked over, Yao Yingxi looked at his face and remembered.

A few months ago, the manager of the branded clothing store and this man called Mr. Wang tried to use underhanded tactics on her.

Yao Yingxi is a pretty easygoing person. Most of the time, she tells herself to forget things that might become a shadow. But now, seeing this person, she immediately remembered how scared, angry, and desperate she was back then.

That night, if it weren't for Xi Yuanchen, she probably wouldn't be in this state now.

Mr. Wang walked over shakily, and his face turned even paler when he saw Yao Yingxi next to Xi Yuanchen.

He knelt down in front of them with a thud, his expression more painful than crying: "Mr. Xi, Miss Yao, I know I was wrong, I really know I was wrong. I was really out of my mind back then. I won't do it again, I really won't do it again."

Mr. Wang had his leg broken by someone from the hotel. He knew then that the person in front of him was not someone to be trifled with, so after being beaten, he resigned and went back to his hometown, ostensibly to recover from his injury, but he knew very well that he was hiding and trying to avoid retaliation.

For several months, he kept an eye on the situation in Yuncheng from his hometown. After recovering from his injuries, he didn't dare to return to Yuncheng. Instead, he went to work in another city. This time, he came to Yuncheng on a mission assigned by his company, which he couldn't refuse. Maybe he would never meet Xi Yuanchen, or maybe Xi Yuanchen had already forgotten him, or maybe Yao Yingxi was no longer the woman by his side.

However, Xi Yuanchen arrived just as he arrived today.

Mr. Wang kept begging for mercy, but Xi Yuanchen remained indifferent. Yao Yingxi's hand, which he was holding, gradually tightened its grip on him.

Xi Yuanchen turned his head to look at Yao Yingxi and asked, "Do you remember now?"

Yao Yingxi nodded: "I remember now."

"What do you want to do?"

Xi Yuanchen asked very directly, and Yao Yingxi glanced at him and replied, "This kind of scum must have ruined a lot of girls."

“Mr. Xi,” Yao Yingxi looked at him, “this kind of person is just a successful person in disguise, but in reality, he is a scoundrel.”

"He shouldn't have had the opportunity to harm people."

Yao Yingxi grew up in an ordinary environment. The only thing that truly challenged her bottom line in her life was learning the truth about her mother's death.

She didn't know what specific methods to use to punish this person, so she told Xi Yuanchen her thoughts.

Xi Yuanchen looked at her and saw an unconscious dependence in her eyes.

All men share the same common flaw, and Xi Yuanchen is no exception. Although he didn't know that he had turned down several meetings today after seeing this President Wang, thinking of getting revenge for Yao Yingxi, looking at Yao Yingxi's eyes now, he didn't care whether he had wasted his time.

"Mr. Wang should have both a son and a daughter by now. A man's most important thing is useless if he keeps it. Take him out and cripple him. While you're at it, tell his company about the kickbacks he's been taking all these years, and then hand him over to the police station."

With just a few dozen words from Xi Yuanchen, President Wang's life was over.

Anan called for people to come and take Boss Wang out. Boss Wang knelt down and kept kowtowing, begging for mercy in a trembling voice: "Boss Xi, Boss Xi, please have mercy."

"Miss Yao, I was blind, please forgive me."

"I won't do it again, I'll never do it again!"

Mr. Wang cried out, his whole body limp from fear, and was dragged out.

This private room is full of Mr. Wang's guests. He got to know Xi Yuanchen and Yao Yingxi because of the gossip in Yuncheng recently.

Seeing what happened to President Wang, everyone became wary and quieted down.

Yao Yingxi felt terrible. She looked away, her breath becoming hot. "Mr. Xi, let's go home. I feel so bad."

Upon hearing this, Xi Yuanchen looked down at her and noticed that her cheeks were flushed. He reached out and touched her forehead, finding it burning hot.

His eyes darkened, he bent down, picked her up horizontally, and strode out.

Yao Yingxi was caught off guard when he suddenly picked her up. She instinctively hugged his neck and looked up at him.

The laser lights were on in the private room, and as Xi Yuanchen carried her out, a beam of light shone on them.

Like a prince and princess.

Yao Yingxi tightened her grip on his arm, feeling as if it were a dream.

After getting into the car, Anan cautiously glanced at Xi Yuanchen in the rearview mirror and forced a question: "Boss, where are we going?"

Yao Yingxi couldn't hold on any longer. She closed her eyes, leaned against Xi Yuanchen's chest, and clutched his clothes without saying a word.

Xi Yuanchen stared coldly at Anan. Anan felt a chill run down her spine, stepped on the gas, and drove the car toward the hospital.

Yao Yingxi had just caught a common cold, and her fever wasn't too high. She went to the hospital, got some medicine, and then went back to her apartment.

She felt dizzy and her vision blurred. After getting out of the car and taking a few steps, she swayed to the side.

Xi Yuanchen quickly grabbed her waist, picked her up horizontally, and his face was already gloomy and ugly.

Yao Yingxi glanced at him and tightened her grip on his hand.

Back at the apartment, Xi Yuanchen carried her straight to the bedroom, placed her on the bed, took off his coat, and frowned even more deeply.

"Yao Yingxi." He knew she wasn't asleep, his voice was cold: "Is the temperature control system broken?"

Yao Yingxi opened her eyes, glanced at the light above her head, and hummed in response.

When did it break?

"Morning."

As soon as Yao Yingxi finished speaking, Xi Yuanchen wished he could leave her behind.

It broke this morning and she was still wearing slippers and pajamas, sitting in the dining room?

Looking at his gloomy face, Yao Yingxi felt inexplicably wronged, and her words became tactless: "Why are you being so fierce? How would I know it would break? Besides, it wasn't me who made it break!"

Getting angrier as she talked, Yao Yingxi got off the bed and strode out of the bedroom.

She had never lost her temper in front of Xi Yuanchen before. Xi Yuanchen laughed in anger, reached out and grabbed her wrist, his eyes smiling, but his voice was still cold: "Sit down, I'll go get you some water and take your medicine."

Yao Yingxi stood still. Xi Yuanchen glanced at her again and went to the kitchen to boil water.

Her whole body ached, and Yao Yingxi couldn't stand for long. She walked to the bedside, sat down, and lay face down on the blanket.

Five minutes later, Xi Yuanchen came in with water and medicine: "Take your medicine."

His voice was still cold. Yao Yingxi sat up straight, glanced at him, and took the medicine.

When she was taking her medicine, the doorbell rang once, and Xi Yuanchen went to open the door.

Yao Yingxi didn't want to eat anything, and she didn't even want to drink water. After taking her medicine, she left the water bottle on her bedside table.

Xi Yuanchen came in with the heater that Anan had bought temporarily. He glanced at the water she had put down and said, "Drink that water, then take a shower and go to bed."

Yao Yingxi was unwilling to drink, but she gave in when she saw Xi Yuanchen.

After drinking some water, she took her pajamas to the bathroom to shower. When she came out, the whole bedroom was warm.
