The Counterattack of a Wealthy Family's Substitute

Xu Xinya and Yao Yingxi were stabbing each other in the back, but Xu Xinya was more composed than Yao Yingxi. She laughed and said, "So what if I'm a commodity?"

"The Xiang family is no worse than the Xu family, and may even be a little better."

"Moreover, Xiang Rui truly loves me; I'm the only one in his heart."

"And you? Did the men you went to so much trouble to seduce ever love you?"

"You!" Yao Yingyue was about to speak when a nurse pushed the door open and came in, forcing Yao Yingyue to shut up.

Seeing the tense atmosphere between the two, the nurse reminded them, "The patient cannot be agitated right now."

After saying that, he went into the ward to give He Qinfang an IV drip.

Yao Yingyue calmed down and revealed a reluctant smile: "Xu Xinya, we'll see."

Xu Xinya ignored her and followed the nurse into the ward.

The only sound in the ward was breathing. Xu Xinya stared blankly at He Qinfang, whose face was still pale.

She and He Qinfang are now in a precarious situation, caught between a rock and a hard place. She is strong-willed and wants revenge, but she can't do it on her own.

but……

Xu Xinya closed her eyes, and her phone suddenly rang.

Xu Xinya suddenly opened her eyes, grabbed her phone, and went outside.

The other party told her that they had found out who sent He Qinfang the evidence of Xu Hengyuan's infidelity.

The other party gave an address, and Xu Xinya clenched her hands tightly.

Yao Yingxi! It's Yao Yingxi again!

Xu Xinya hung up the phone, trembling with anger. She called the caregiver, looked at He Qinfang, and left the hospital to drive to find Yao Yingxi.

Yao Yingxi went out to buy some food after she had almost finished eating in the refrigerator in her apartment. When she returned, a red sports car suddenly drove towards her from behind.

Yao Yingxi caught a glimpse of it out of the corner of her eye, but there was no time to dodge. She was so frightened that she dropped the things she was holding and fell to the ground.

Just as Yao Yingxi was watching the car drive towards her and was about to hit her, the car suddenly stopped.

The car headlights flashed, and Yao Yingxi saw the license plate number. Xu Xinya got out of the car and said, "Yao Yingxi! Don't you think it's a bit too despicable of you to send my mother evidence of Xu Hengyuan's infidelity?"

Yao Yingxi had just been threatened and was instinctively afraid, but now, seeing Xu Xinya and knowing why she had come to find her, she was no longer afraid.

She stood up from the ground, picked up everything scattered on the floor and put it into her shopping bag, and slowly said, "Xu Xinya, do you believe I'll sue you again for intentional assault?"

Xu Xinya watched Yao Yingxi's leisurely demeanor, her hands clenched tightly.

After Yao Yingxi finished picking up everything, she stood up, finally opened her eyes to look at Xu Xinya, smiled, and then answered her question: "As for whether my actions were despicable or not, Xu Xinya, how can I compare to you, right?"

After saying that, Yao Yingxi picked up her things and left.

Under the dim lights, Xu Xinya looked at Yao Yingxi's back and felt extreme hatred.

Between her and Yao Yingxi, there was no other choice but for it to be a fight to the death.

Yao Yingxi twisted her ankle when she fell. She only realized her ankle hurt when she was already in the elevator. Looking down, she saw that her entire right foot was swollen like a bun.

When the elevator arrived, Yao Yingxi stepped out. After only a few steps, she felt her left foot getting more and more painful, until she could barely walk by holding onto the wall.

Carrying two bags, every step she took was difficult.

It was less than ten meters, but Yao Yingxi took more than twenty minutes to walk only half of it.

She leaned against the wall to ease the pain in her left foot, bit her lip and closed her eyes. Suddenly, she lost her balance and was lifted up by the waist.

Subconsciously reaching out to hug him, Yao Yingxi opened her eyes, and Xi Yuanchen's handsome face loomed large before her.

Yao Yingxi was stunned for a moment before she came to her senses: "Mr. Xi?"

Xi Yuanchen glanced at her left foot with a cold gaze before uttering a soft "hmm".

He carried Yao Yingxi into the living room and placed her on the sofa. Xi Yuanchen squatted down, holding her left foot in his hand, his deep eyes somewhat somber: "How did this happen?"

Yao Yingxi felt a little embarrassed as he pinched her left foot, and she put her hands on the sofa.

"Hmm?" Xi Yuanchen looked up at her.

Yao Yingxi bit her lip and lied, "I twisted it a little."

Xi Yuanchen glanced at her again but said nothing more. He turned and went out to retrieve the things from outside.

Xi Yuanchen took the things to the kitchen and then sat down next to Yao Yingxi.

Yao Yingxi glanced at him, then at the clock in the center of the living room; it was almost six o'clock.

"Mr. Xi, shall I go cook?" Yao Yingxi stood up and started to walk towards the kitchen.

"sit down."

Just as Xi Yuanchen finished speaking, the doorbell rang. He glanced at Yao Yingxi again, then got up to open the door.

He quickly returned, holding a bottle of liniment for bruises and sprains.

Yao Yingxi stood there blankly until Xi Yuanchen came over and told her to sit down, and then she sat down.

Xi Yuanchen read the instructions for the liniment, placed Yao Yingxi's left foot on his leg, took off her socks, poured the liniment on it, and began to massage the swollen area that looked like a steamed bun.

He wasn't very strong, but Yao Yingxi still hissed in pain.

Xi Yuanchen paused in his movements, looked up at her, and asked, "Does it hurt a lot?"

Yao Yingxi shook her head, then nodded, her eyes seeming to well up with tears from the pain: "Yes, it hurts a lot! Mr. Xi, could you be a little gentler?"

Xi Yuanchen didn't answer him, but he softened his movements.

Yao Yingxi lowered her head, pressed her face into her palm, and wiped away the moisture in her eyes.

Xi Yuanchen massaged her ankle for about ten minutes. When he released it, Yao Yingxi felt that the pain had subsided, but her ankle still felt a little hot and burning. This feeling seemed to linger in her mind.

Yao Yingxi took a deep breath, turned her head, and patted her cheek.

The doorbell rang again. Yao Yingxi stood up, hopped on one foot to the door, and brought in the meal that Xi Yuanchen had ordered.

Just as she brought the food to the dining table, Xi Yuanchen came out of the bathroom after taking a shower. His expression turned cold when he saw her setting the table.

Yao Yingxi packed the food and rice into bowls and plates from home, turned around and saw Xi Yuanchen, then smiled and called out to him, "Mr. Xi, dinner is ready."

Xi Yuanchen walked over, carrying a faint scent of shower gel.

Yao Yingxi handed the rice to Xi Yuanchen: "Let's eat."

Xi Yuanchen didn't move, and only then did Yao Yingxi notice that his expression was a bit cold. She had never quite understood Xi Yuanchen's temper, and she usually wouldn't ask, but today she couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Xi, are you unhappy?"

"What do you think?" Xi Yuanchen pulled out a chair and sat down, water droplets still dripping from his hair down his cheeks.

Yao Yingxi looked at him and nodded.

Looking at her, Xi Yuanchen felt a pang of tenderness for some reason. He couldn't vent his anger, and simply said coldly, "If your leg is crippled, don't try to do everything yourself."
