Chapter 243: Exposing Li Xiwu as a Substitute
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
After watching the live broadcast, Lin Yourong knew that Li Xiwu was a person who knew her limits. Now that she had come into contact with her, Lin
Yourong felt that Li Xiwu should have restrained herself in the live broadcast. In reality, she was definitely not simple.
No wonder she could easily control Han Qianye.
Uncle Dong walked over and nodded. “Madam, we can start eating.”
Han Qianye looked at Lin Yourong. “Why don’t you eat more?
Lin Yourong rejected her with a smile. “No, I didn’t come at the right time. I thought you had all eaten.”
Han Qianye pulled Lin Yourong. “Since you’re already here, eat more.” Lin Yourong pretended to be unable to refuse. “Then I’ll trouble you.”
“How could it be trouble?” Han Qianye gritted her teeth and maintained a warm
smile. “It’s only lively with you in the dining room.”
Although Han Qianye was just being polite, Lin Yourong was indeed more lively during the meal.
Although Lin Yourong had only eaten a little during the meal, her mouth was mainly used to talk. It was all interesting topics that didn’t sound annoying.
Lin Yourong was not from a rich family, but she had learned wealth and self-restraint, especially when Pei Qingji’s around. Lin Yourong did not dare to say anything wrong. Of course, she also knew what to say and what not to say. The atmosphere in the dining room was maintained quite well.
After dinner, Li Xiwu and Pei Jingzhou went for a walk in the front garden. Pei Qingji went to do his own thing. Lin Yourong had no intention of leaving, so she pulled Han Qianye and continued chatting.
Han Qianye was annoyed, but she had no choice. Lin Yourong was still a guest. No matter how uncomfortable she felt, there was no reason for the host to give the guest a hard time. She was thinking that after Lin Yourong left, she would inform the property security that they would not let her in in the future.
That would save a lot of trouble!
As she was thinking, she heard Lin Yourong ask her, “At the dining table just now, I saw that they were quite close.”
Han Qianye smiled. “Jingzhou and Xixi have always been very close.”
Lin Yourong asked in confusion, “Didn’t you say before that Li Xiwu is a substitute? Your son has a first love…
Before she could finish speaking, Han Qianye covered Lin Yourong’s mouth with her hand. “What nonsense are you talking about? Where did this substitute come from?
Lin Yourong suddenly doubted her memory. “But why do I remember…
Han Qianye said, “You remembered wrong.”
Lin Yourong was confused. “Huh? Did I remember wrongly?”
Han Qianye’s expression did not change. “Jingzhou and Xixi just had a small conflict back then. This is normal. I)on’t you argue with your husband? Anyway, my husband and I quarrel from time to time.”
Lin Yourong was speechless. She thought carefully.
Seeing that Lin Yourong was about to take it seriously, Han Qianye quickly interrupted, “The last episode of the recording will start tomorrow. It’s only the last three days. I can’t bear to let this show end.”
Lin Yourong sneered. “What’s there to be reluctant about? When I recorded this mother-in-law and daughter-in-law show back then, I tried my best to convince myself to persevere. Later on, as long as I thought that I could chase that Gao guy away after recording this show, I immediately became motivated.
Fortunately, my efforts paid off.”
Han Qianye knew that these words more or less implied her.
It was just not so obvious.
She didn’t reply and laughed it off.
At this moment, Li Xiwu had been waiting outside for a long time.
Lin Yourong did not come out for a long time. She raised her hand and looked at her watch. It was almost nine o’clock. It was time to go back. It was unknown when Lin Yourong would leave, but Li Xiwu did not want to waste any more time. She turned to Pei Jingzhou and said, “Fourth Brother, let’s go back to
Lake Luu”
Pei Jingzhou asked, “Are you sure?
Li Xiwu nodded. “I’ll see it another day.”
See what? Naturally, she wanted to look at Pei Jingzhou’s photo album when he was young!
This photo album was in Han Qianye’s bedroom. It was not convenient for her and Pei Jingzhou to go to Han Qianye’s bedroom, and the servants could not go in directly. They had to get Han Qianye’s permission first.
But now that Han Qianye was accompanying Lin Yourong, Li Xiwu wanted to wait.
In the end, Lin Yourong did not come out even after waiting for so long. It was almost nine o’clock, and it was time to go back. Li Xiwu knew that she could not delay for too long. She would have to trouble the butler, Uncle Dong, to pass on the message later and leave with Pei Jingzhou.
In the car.
Li Xiwu didn’t say much. She was usually like this and rarely said anything, but tonight was clearly different. Pei Jingzhou could feel it. He pulled her hand toward him. “Is it because you didn’t see the photo album?”
Li Xiwu pulled her hand back. “I’m just curious about the photo album.” “But you’re in a bad mood,” Pei Jingzhou said.
Li Xiwu didn’t mean what she said. “I’m not in a bad mood. I’m fine.”
Pei Jingzhou suddenly couldn’t tell what she was thinking. He pulled her hand over again and rubbed his fingers. “Tell me.” Li Xiwu raised her eyes slightly. “What do you want to hear?”
Pei Jingzhou said, “What’s on your mind.”
Li Xiwu smiled. “I didn’t even notice that I had something on my mind. How can you be sure that I have something on my mind?”
Pei Jingzhou said, “I have no choice. I know you too well.”
These words rendered Li Xiwu speechless. It was true that she rarely revealed her emotions. Most of the time, she was very reserved. It was difficult for others to guess her thoughts, but Pei Jingzhou was an exception. He could always sense her strange thoughts immediately.
She used to think that he understood psychology. Now she knew that he just knew her too well.
The smile on Li Xiwu’s lips slowly faded. “There are some things where I only see the outcome and don’t care much about the process, so I’m not in the mood to speculate carefully. When I saw Mrs. Zhou tonight, I realized that I had overlooked many things.”
Pei lingzhou asked. “What did you overlook?”
Li Xiwu said slowly, “Auntie’s original intention for inviting me to this show.” Li Xiwu would not mention the matter of 400 million in front of Pei Jingzhou for the time being. Therefore, her tone quickly relaxed. “I’m just sighing. It’s nothing on my mind.”
Li Xiwu and Pei Jingzhou walked for only a few minutes.
Lin Yourong also came out. Han Qianye took a few steps and learned from Uncle Dong that her son and daughter-in-law had left first. She was discouraged.
Lin Yourong asked in an inquiring tone, “They don’t live in the Pei residence?
Han Qianye was not in a good mood now. “The young couple has their own world. Why must we live together? They could just come back and eat together when they have time.”
“That’s true.” Lin Yourong nodded. “Then I’ll leave first, Qianye. Remember to pull my number out of the blacklist.”
Han Qianye nodded absent-mindedly. “Got it.”
After watching Lin Yourong get into the car, Han Qianye returned. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She called Uncle Dong over. “Go tell the property security that if this woman comes in the future, stop her.
Don’t let her in easily.”
Uncle Dong nodded. “Okay, Madam.”
After giving her instructions, Han Qianye felt a little better.
Lin Yourong did not know that not only had she been blacklisted by Han Qianye, but she had also been blacklisted by the Tan Hua Mansion. When she returned home, Lin Huan jogged forward. “Aunt, how is it? Have you reconciled with Auntie Han?”
“I’m doing it personally. How can we reconcile?” Lin Yourong said confidently.
“Qianye is soft-hearted. I’ll just coax her a little.”
Lin Huan was also happy. “That’s good.”
Lin Yourong suddenly grabbed Lin Huan’s hand. “Huanhuan, your chance is here.” Lin Huan bit her lip. Chance? Do I still have a chance?”
“If I say so!’
At this moment, Lin Yourong was all smiles. ‘Qianye even tried to fool me, making me think that I really remembered wrongly. On the way back, I thought about it carefully and didn’t remember it wrongly at all. Huanhuan, guess why I’m so sure?
Lin Huan was curious. “Why?”
Lin Yourong’s face was about to burst into laughter. “Because I remembered that person’s name. Qianye only mentioned it once. Her name is Li You. Look, even her name is the same surname, so Li Xiwu is the substitute her son found.”
Lin Huan’s eyes widened. “Substitute?”
“That’s right. Pei Jingzhou used to love someone very much. Her name was Li You!”
Lin Yourong said proudly, “At that time, Qianye said it herself, but she only mentioned it once. I didn’t take it too seriously at that time. After all, Qianye didn’t like her either. She said that she wanted to become a phoenix. Now that I think about it, isn’t this a good opportunity in front of me?
Lin Huan swallowed. “Then, Aunt, what are you planning to do?”
“What am I going to do…” Lin Yourong said meaningfully, “Of course. Help
Qianye finish what she didn’t finish..”
