At first, she didn’t understand.
She didn’t understand why this man wouldn’t touch her even after spending money to raise her.
He took her away and raised her, but he didn’t want her.
What did he want?
She had always been puzzled and couldn’t guess the real reason.
Until today.
She finally knew.
She finally understood.
It turned out that her good luck came from another person.
It came from that female artiste called Qiao Mianmian.
Yan Shaoqing didn’t like her because of this female artiste.
Those rumors might not be 100% true, but they weren’t completely fabricated.
At least, as the news said, Gong Zeli did have feelings for Qiao Mianmian.
Moreover, he was really protective of her.
From these two points alone, Qiao Mianmian… was really a very attractive woman.
The most outstanding men in Yuncheng City were all in love with her.
After knowing that she might have become someone else’s substitute, Su Su felt extremely sad and disappointed.
But she didn’t dare to confirm it with Gong Zeli.
She was afraid that if she exposed this, she wouldn’t even have the chance to stay by his side.
She pretended not to know anything. At least she could stay by his side.
Even if he couldn’t fall for her and only used her as a substitute, she didn’t want to leave him.
Even though she knew that falling in love with this man meant that her disaster had begun, she still couldn’t control herself.
What could she do?
She’d fallen for him the moment she saw him.
…
Yan Shaoqing was smoking in the corridor.
He narrowed his eyes when he saw Gong Zeli walking over.
He turned around and let out a puff of white smoke.
“Do you want to smoke?” he asked.
Gong Zeli shook his head. “No need.”
Yan Shaoqing stopped asking.
“What is it?” Gong Zeli asked directly.
Yan Shaoqing didn’t beat around the bush. He nodded and straightened his back. “Then, I’ll be frank. Zeli, what’s with the girl you brought today?”
Gong Zeli looked at him expressionlessly. “What do you mean?”
“Don’t play dumb with me.” Yan Shaoqing took another puff of his cigarette and exhaled the white smoke slowly. “That little girl is 30% similar to Sis-in-law. I heard that she used to work at Nightlight? You brought her out because she looks like Sis-in-law?
“Zeli, do you know what you’re doing? You’re lying to yourself, do you understand?” Yan Shaoqing frowned and said, “Why did you find a substitute? A substitute is just a substitute. So what if they look alike? They’re not the same person.
“What’s the point of doing this?”
Gong Zeli listened to him expressionlessly. “Is that all you want to tell me?”
“Yes, that’s all.” Yan Shaoqing was a little angry when he saw his indifference. “I really don’t know why you suddenly have a crush on Sis-in-law. You used to target her all the time. Haven’t you always hated her?”
