Replace Your Life (18) Adult Choices, Of course… (1)
Tong Ling’s distress quickly disappeared.
Her real boyfriend was Ye Huan so Tong Ling didn’t need to choose one of three options at all. Ye Huan hired a professional stylist and prepared several sets of evening dresses for her to try on the spot. Since the banquet, everything has been arranged for her.
As she thought about how the substitute in the original plot casually put on a dress similar to Yu Yurou and went to the banquet, Tong Ling couldn’t help but feel more satisfied with Yu Yurou’s identity. A Bai Yueguang is a Bai Yueguang, how can the treatment of a substitute be compared to that?
[T/N: Bai Yueguang – white moonlight. Used to describe the Ray of light in a person’s heart.]
Tong Ling chose a satin champagne-colored dress, not because the dress was the most expensive, but because the texture was very comfortable to wear. After changing her dress, she stood in front of the mirror and looked at it. Tong Ling also felt the luxury and extravagance that came from money.
Ye Huan is different from before. A man with a career who had become a lot more mature in the way he treated women. In the past, Ye Huan had never taken care of Yu Yurou so carefully before taking Yu Yurou to a banquet. This time, he waited early and watched her prepare .
When Tong Ling finished dressing up, Ye Huan’s eyes lit up when he saw her, and he opened his mouth with a heartfelt compliment, “You are so beautiful tonight.”
Tong Ling took Ye Huan’s arm, “Today my Ah Huan is also very handsome. “
Ye Huan’s heart skipped a beat, his eyes were full of tenderness, “Yu Rou…”
“Wrong,” Tong Ling reminded, “Call me Yu Ling in public, and Mrs. Shen will also be attending the banquet tonight. Well, don’t let her find out.”
Ye Huan thought of the possible grievances his girlfriend would suffer, and immediately became entangled, “Otherwise… we should not go to the banquet tonight. It’s just a simple introductory banquet for the young master of the Song family, and it was not that important. The reason why I have to go…”
“No.” How could Tong Ling let the male protagonist stop the plot from progressing, “The Song family attaches great importance to this party, you have just taken over the company, and you should have social contacts that should not be interrupted, for the sake of your career, don’t say such childish words.”
“And…” Tong Ling lightly shook Ye Huan’s arm and said softly, “I want to stand by your side in public, no matter what my status is, the only girl you want is me.”
As soon as the possessive words came out of Tong Ling, Ye Huan no longer hesitated. His heart seemed to be immersed in warm water, and his whole body felt soft, “Of course, I will let everyone know that you are mine.”
The Song family was worthy of being one of the most powerful families. There were all kinds of luxury cars parked outside the banquet hall, and they were all business celebrities.
Handing over the invitation letter, Tong Ling lost her casual attitude. The steps she walked and the smile on her face seemed to have been carefully calculated. From inside to out, she exuded the aura of a wealthy and famous lady, even when she was a child. Ye Huan, who received an elite education and was born as a nobleman, was a little overshadowed when he stood beside her.
M577 noticed this and became more curious about the host’s past identity. He remembered that when the contract was signed, the host was surrounded by several indifferent men. Unlike the best among the humans, the host looked extremely pitiful. It just took a fancy to Tong Ling’s weakness and obedience, and then made a fateful contract and carried out a space transfer with the host. Who would have thought…
The past was unbearable to look back on, but now as it reminisces , he felt that the victims were those men.
M577 regretted for a while that he signed the contract without investigating Tong Ling’s identity. Looking at Tong Ling’s completely different appearance from the substitute in the plot, he complained a bit when he spoke: [ Do you think you look like a substitute?]
[And…are you a certain noble lady in the capital star of the U-A78 galaxy? Your attitude to the banquet is too skilled!】
“Noble lady?” Tong Ling tutted in her heart, “I have only attended a few royal banquets held by the empire. If you think that all those who have attended such banquets are noble ladies, then so be it.”
Tong Ling thought for a while, then she poked at the system’s wound again: “Could it be that… you haven’t found out my identity yet?”
M577 suddenly lost face and said angrily, [I suspect that your name is fake! I have checked all files in the U-A78 system and there is no record of your name on the files!】
Tong Ling tried to find the result, and smiled, “You are permanently bound to me, still restless?”
M577 flinched, [I…I just want to know who you are…]
“Don’t waste your energy thinking about this matter.” Tong Ling said, “As long as you know that I will be your best partner and will complete the plot according to the requirements of your Lord.”
M577: […]
No, he just didn’t believe it! He wanted to find the weakness of this woman, and then… and then he didn’t know what to do. Why did he set the contract terms so loose in the first place, so that it has no binding force on the host? M577 was desperate.
The system almost regarded Tong Ling as a noble lady, not to mention everyone in the banquet hall. The people present were of high positions in this small world, and their eyes were picky. They can discern at a glance whether a person has a background and whether they were of the same class.
Because the banquet of the Song family was too large, everyone who got the invitation brought their female or male companions. Some people brought their juniors, some brought their partners and more brought their beautiful lovers and even a few outstanding stars could be found at the banquet.
Those celebrities who had countless fans outside and were sought after by others, when they arrive at this banquet, were just playthings to decorate their facades – this was the circle of power, and it was not so easy to gain the recognition of this circle.
Yu Yurou, the heroine in the plot, had worked hard to integrate into this circle. But her efforts were not as impressive as Tong Ling’s.
Ye Huan didn’t know that he had become a tool to set off Tong Ling, but from the moment he entered the banquet hall, he felt that countless amazed or curious eyes fell on his girlfriend, which made him inexplicably unhappy.
Song Xingyi has been waiting since before the banquet opened.
The young master of the Song family put on a white suit today, had curly light chestnut hair, and his face was clean without any extra decoration.
Unlike the way he dressed unrestrained in the past, this formal dress makes him particularly well-behaved, like a little prince in a fairy tale, and people can’t help but love him.
Song’s father and Song’s mother saw that the youngest son, whom they loved the most, didn’t dress strangely, stayed in the banquet hall decently, and felt very relieved.
In the past, Song Xingyi was not interested in attending banquets, let alone formal attire, he could come to banquets wearing sports clothes and often slipped away in the middle of banquets. Song’s father and Song’s mother could not correct his actions.
This time the little son was so well dressed. He had grown up.
Song Xingyi didn’t dress this way because of his parents. He put on this suit to match his sister. Besides, his sister told him that his little curly hair felt very good and that he didn’t need to dye it in other colours. He also said that he looked handsome wearing white clothes. He dressed as his sister said, and believed that his sister would like it!
Apart from Song Xingyi who was the first to wait in the banquet hall, Lu Yue also arrived earlier this time.
He did not bring his female companion, avoided those acquaintances at the banquet, and stood quietly in the corner alone. Even if he was low-key enough, he still attracted some women to flirt with him.
Lu Yue’s reputation was too great, who knows how many lovers he had in the past, and how many troubles he had caused. He didn’t even know how he had so much patience in the past to interact with those boring women. He lost all his social interest, and now he just felt extremely annoyed.
With an indifferent expression, he sent people away one by one. Lu Yue didn’t even take the ugly faces of those women to heart at all.
He was very strange. He and those women had not been in a serious relationship. His relationship with them had been made clear long before the beginning. When they separated before, they did not express their anger. Can’t stand it? Could it be that they thought they had a chance with him?
Seeing that another woman came out cursing from the corner, Advisor Gu with champagne in her hand, raised her eyebrows smugly at the little sister beside her, “Going to him is completely asking for trouble!”
“Is Lu Yue in a bad mood?” A little sister who knew Lu Yue well made excuses for Lu Yue, “All the women present belong to Lu Yue. He is very gentle to women, and he never embarrassed them, let alone humiliated others at a banquet.”
“Yes, if it wasn’t for Lu Yue being too careless, I don’t know how many women like him.” Another little sister said: “Even if he’s a little bit fussy, he’s still so attractive.”
Advisor Gu knew that people who haven’t experienced it won’t believe how abhorrent Lu Yue was. Even among the wealthy daughters around her, who didn’t care about Lu Yue moving a little more carefully? If you didn’t show it before, it wasn’t because you didn’t want to offend him, “If you don’t believe it, you can try it yourself.”
Several women standing beside Advisor Gu looked at each other, “Wei Wei, you like Lu Yue, how could we talk to you about it? Doesn’t this mean we are robbing you?”
Advisor Gu smiled at their pretence, “I haven’t liked him for a long time, and if you like him, don’t worry, I won’t be angry with you.”
As soon as they heard Advisor Gu say this, a few of them couldn’t help but feel happy. After a while, they found an excuse and ran to Lu Yue one by one, with the intent to test their charm. Advisor Gu was not surprised about the commotion, she just missed Yu Ling very much. Unlike these fake wealthy daughters, Yu Ling was sincere to her, that was the real good sister!
Advisor Gu was just thinking about Yu Ling when suddenly, the guests whispers could be heard all around.
“That’s the eldest young master of the Ye family? Who is the woman next to him?”
“Which family’s eldest lady is she? She looks extraordinary.”
“…Isn’t that Lu Yue’s fiance? I met her at Lu Yue’s company and negotiated with her about cooperation with Lu Yue at that time. She is indeed outstanding, and Lu Yue had not denied this.”
“How can Lu Yue’s fiancee be the female companion of the eldest young master of the Ye family?”
Yu Ling came? Advisor Gu looked at the door of the banquet hall in surprise. Before she could go to find someone, another commotion rose.
“Lu Yue’s fiance and Ye Huan’s female companion are still related to the young master of the Song family?!”
Advisor Gu herself was taken aback by the scene in front of her. She saw the beautiful young master of the Song family passing the crowd. Disregarding etiquette , he quickly jumped to Yu Ling’s side, really jumping – very fast.
Just by looking at the young man’s energy, she knew that the relationship between him and Yu Ling was very unusual, not to mention that the young man made an explosive speech as soon as he opened his mouth.
“Sister, why didn’t you wear the dress I gave you?” Song Xingyi deliberately ignored Ye Huan next to Tong Ling, and lowered his head in disappointment, “The dress I gave is not good enough, don’t you like it?
The young master not only gave her skirts but also asked the other person why didn’t wear them. The meaning of this… Everyone understood.
Watching the excitement may be an instinct hidden in everyone’s bones. Everyone present was calm on the surface, but they were full of expectations for this good show.
Some far-sighted people began to think about whether the cooperation between the Ye family and the Song family would proceed smoothly. The young master of the Song family was so disrespectful to Ye Huan’s face that he would hook up with Ye Huan’s female companion in public. This approach can be said to be very rude.
Ye Huan’s face turned bad in an instant, and he said solemnly, “Young master Song, you can send the dress elsewhere if you want, and you don’t need to cause trouble for my girlfriend.”
Song Xingyi was very dissatisfied with Ye Huan at first when he heard this sentence The words immediately rolled his eyes: “I’m talking to my sister, Ye Huan, what are you talking about?”
As the host of the banquet, the young master of the Song family, Song Xingyi was not at all fazed when facing Ye Huan. Now who didn’t know that the Ye family was not as good as in the past, Ye Xu’s illegitimate son has torn apart the Ye family, and everyone wanted the Ye family to be more chaotic, so they could take the opportunity to make some money.
Song Xingyi didn’t have any contact with the family business at a young age. But this did not mean that he knew nothing about the business world. He grew up in such an environment, and his parents and elder brother taught him that Song Xingyi knew more than an average person.
Song Xingyi specially invited Ye Xu to come over to this banquet, just to see the jokes between the two brothers. I wonder what Mrs. Shen, the real ruler of the Ye family, thinks about it.
Song Xingyi didn’t give Ye Huan a face like this, which made everyone even more excited.
Are they going to see the two break up? Whether it’s for a woman or not, this situation was enough for them to analyse the pros and cons of the Song & Ye family’s situation.
Before Ye Huan became angry, Tong Ling, who had always been a “perfect girlfriend”, spoke up, only to see her face turned cold, and she shook her head in disapproval of Song Xingyi, “You are so rude to talk like this, apologise to Ye Huan! “
Wow—
There was another rustling sound all around.
No one thought that someone would teach the young master of the Song family such a lesson at the Song family’s banquet. What kind of background did this woman have to dare to talk to the young master of the Song family like this?
Song Xingyi’s face turned pale immediately. In the past, his elder sister always coaxed him, and even if he punished him, there was a hint of coquettishness. He never thought that his sister would treat him with such an attitude, or for a man!
“Young master Song?” Tong Ling frowned.
Song Xingyi pursed his lips tightly, looking very aggrieved.
“Forget it.” Ye Huan lost his anger at this moment, on the contrary, he was extremely happy. His girlfriend defended him, and she was so honest with Song Xingyi. Seeing Song Xingyi’s expression, he felt very happy.
In the past, Yu Yurou always told him that Song Xingyi was a child, she only regarded him as a younger brother and told Ye Huan not to care about a child. To be honest, Ye Huan was already upset, but to pretend to be generous, he didn’t say anything. Who doesn’t want to see his girlfriend reject all the opposite sex, which greatly satisfies his self-esteem?
His girlfriend lived up to his trust, and Ye Huan’s heart was full of sweetness, “I don’t need to apologize, just don’t pester my girlfriend again.”
“Tangle your girlfriend?” Hearing Ye Huan’s words, Song’s mother immediately sneered: “How could my Xingyi pester your girlfriend?”
As early as when she saw her youngest son showing great hospitality to a woman, Song’s mother noticed the person coming. Song Xingyi was still young in her eyes, and she didn’t want any out-of-the-ordinary woman to seduce her son, but when she found out that the woman the younger son liked was so familiar, she felt deceived and anger surged from her heart.
“Isn’t this Teacher Yu ?” Mother Song was both shocked and angry, “As Xing Yi’s tutor, I would like to ask you, why did Xing Yi pester you? Or did you shamelessly seduce my son?!”
How could a mother not be angry when she found out that her youngest son fell in love with the teacher who taught him his homework?
If it wasn’t for the occasion, she didn’t even want to be a lady, but she just wanted to scold this woman.
Although Mother Song tried her best to keep calm, the words she said were not very pleasant.
“Mom! How can you say that?!” Song Xingyi took the initiative to stand in front of Tong Ling almost as soon as Song’s mother appeared. He would not let his sister suffer any insults, even his mother couldn’t say that to her sister!
“Sister is not that kind of person. It’s me who likes her, it’s me who pesters her, and it has nothing to do with her!” Song Xingyi put all the responsibility on himself, and even made no secret of his feelings, and expressed it directly.
He felt that he and his sister were so close. If it wasn’t for the unsightly Ye Huan between them, he and his sister would have been lovers long ago.
Seeing Song Xingyi defend Yu Yurou so much, Mother Song became even angrier, “What does it have nothing to do with her? I don’t blame you for being young and ignorant. This woman is the teacher we invited, how can she tangle with her student?”
“Such a seductive fox…”
Before Mother Song could finish her swearing words, Ye Huan interrupted rudely, “Mrs. Song, I hope you can respect your guests.”
Ye Huan had thought that this banquet might not be peaceful. There will be problems when he enters the door. He glared at Song Xingyi angrily, disgusted by the young master of the Song family who was looking for trouble regardless of the occasion, “And take care of your son!”
“You—”
Seeing this quarrel expand, two more people came in outside the door.
As soon as Shen Man entered the banquet hall, she felt the strange atmosphere in the hall. When she saw her son Ye Huan and another woman who should not be here, her brows furrowed deeply when she saw that everyone was looking in the direction of her son Ye Huan and the woman…
Why was Yu Yurou here? Impossible, that woman was still abroad, if she returns to China, she will know the news. For the bank card she gave to Yu Yurou, every amount used showed that the other party had spent abroad. Shen Man didn’t believe that the woman could appear by Ye Huan’s side without her control!
Ye Xu, who was almost the last to enter the venue, saw the scene in the hall, and without thinking about it, he went straight to Tong Ling’s side and asked with concern, “What’s the matter? What happened?”
The eyes of the crowd were even more wrong.
Who didn’t know that Ye Xu was the illegitimate son of the Ye family, and his relationship with Ye Huan was originally very cold? He left the Ye family and made such a big noise a while ago, it was a complete break from the Ye family.
Could the woman who was confessed by the young master of the Song family have something to do with the two brothers of the Ye family?
Being able to eat such a huge melon, everyone pricked up their ears and listened intently to the conversations of several people.
“It’s nothing.” Tong Ling first smiled at Ye Xu, and then explained to Mother Song, “Mrs. Song misunderstood, I’m not Yu Yurou, I’m Yu Yurou’s sister Yu Ling.”
“Yu Ling?”
“Is she a substitute?”
“The substitute that Ye Huan was looking for is very similar to his girlfriend?”
The power of gossip is powerful. Tong Ling told Advisor Gu the news, and it didn’t take long for the news to reach the ears of the rich and powerful daughters. They were in the banquet hall at the moment, and they were eager to discuss when they heard Tong Ling’s words. These words naturally spread to the ears of the onlookers.
“Substitute? She is a substitute?”
The men were amazed. A woman with such a look and temperament would be a substitute? Is the man who takes this woman as a substitute blind?
Ye Huan, who was stared at by everyone with inexhaustible eyes, had to continue this lie, “Yes, she is not Yu Yurou.”
These men were also born into a wealthy family and are friends with Ye Huan, so they are familiar with Yu Yurou. At first, they thought that the person beside Ye Huan was Yu Yurou, they sighed that Yu Yurou was much better looking than before, which made them all excited. Who would have thought… this would be Yu Yurou’s sister!
“Ye Huan is not a thing.” Ye Huan’s friend Jiang Chenrui clicked his tongue, and his eyes were still rolling around Tong Ling, “It’s not enough to have Yu Yurou, he still wants to play her sister, really a spicy chicken!”
“Before I also thought that he had a very real relationship with Yurou and now…” Another friend named Hong Jun couldn’t help but scold “Playing as a substitute? What real feelings do people who can play a substitute have? Isn’t this just an excuse to cheat? Bah, he really can beautify himself!”
“Did Yu Ling’s sister cheat on him? She looked like she didn’t know much about the world at first glance, maybe she was tricked into becoming a substitute.”
“Yes, Ye Huan must have lied to her, otherwise, with her appearance, what kind of man can’t she have?”
Jiang Chenrui added,”Ye Huan can’t be sorry for Yu Yurou, we must let him recognize this.”
Hong Jun echoed, “I also want to let Yu Yurou’s sister Yu Ling wake up and can’t be deceived by the scumbag!”
Several people discussed in a low voice and decided to wait for the opportunity to chat with Miss Yu Ling alone.
M577: [..…]
M577 has a panoramic view of everyone’s reactions. The trend of the plot is indeed a normal development. The device that detects the plot also shows that the offset is 0, but this plot shows that it is abnormal!
Those wealthy young masters who wanted to separate Yu Ling and Ye Huan were very crooked and scolded Ye Huan as scum behind their backs, but they were not good at beautifying Yu Ling.
“What substitute?” Song Xingyi is the most ignorant one. He knows that his sister uses Yu Ling’s identity in China, but what about the substitute?
Tong Ling didn’t tell Song Xingyi about the substitute. She knew that Song Xingyi was not as mature as Lu Yue and Ye Xu. If he discovers that Yu Ling was acting as a substitute for Yu Yurou, he won’t be able to accept it. The greater the impact, the more it can stimulate him.
Choosing the banquet to let Song Xingyi know this will make the subsequent plot develop smoothly. Tong Ling is still looking forward to seeing the growth of the puppy.
Mother Song herself was shocked by the news, her eyes fixed on Tong Ling, and after scrutinising it for a while, she finally admitted that she had recognized the wrong person.
Once the woman was separated from Yu Yurou, Mother Song could see the difference between the two. After all, Yu Yurou is a college student who hasn’t seen much of the world. Mother Song didn’t take her to heart before, but Yu Yurou’s sister is different. When Mother Song heard her younger son say that she likes this woman, she was nervous.
Mother Song had seen many beautiful women in the circle, but no woman could be more eye-catching than the person in front of her. She seemed to be the center of attention by nature. Putting aside the unobjective view, from a woman’s point of view, Mother Song thought that the other party was very good.
The elegance emitted in the young woman’s every move was truly pleasing to the eye. It’s just a substitute… a woman whose feelings were too chaotic, Mother Song still couldn’t accept it!
“Mrs. Song, you don’t have to worry.” As if seeing through Mother Song’s thoughts, Tong Ling immediately made her relationship with Song Xingyi clear, “My relationship with your son is between that of a tutor and a student. To add Song Xingyi is not my type…you can rest assured, I will not be with Young Master Song.”
After Tong Ling said these merciless words, she turned to Ye Huan with an affectionate attitude, “I like Ye Huan, even if it is a substitute, I just want to stay by his side.”
Tong Ling’s words caused an uproar around him.
The men were jealous of the favored Ye Huan, while the women lamented that Tong Ling was too stupid.
As for the abandoned young master of the Song family, it seems… really pitiful.
Walking out of the corner, Lu Yue, who was standing in the best place to watch the show, saw this scene with a sarcastic smile on his face. How could that woman be stupid? Ye Huan was so moved that he was caught dead by that woman?
On this occasion, she rejected the Young Master of the Song family and said such words, who would suspect that this woman was not sincere to Ye Huan?
Lu Yue glanced at Song Xingyi, who was hit so hard. He couldn’t help but think that if he was as impulsive as Song Xingyi, he would only get the same result.
The woman who had no heart will only push him further away from hindering her plan.
Maybe as the other party said, they would be more in tune as friends. But Lu Yue couldn’t do this. From the time he knew he would be rejected yet still gifted her the dress, Lu Yue knew that he was caught in it.
Fortunately, he was the only one among all the people who knew the real face of that woman. What she loves was not Ye Huan, but the family background behind Ye Huan. If the Ye family falls…
Lu Yue thought with dark eyes. Then maybe she will choose another person.
Several wealthy daughters who wanted to talk to Lu Yue were busy watching the fun and left Lu Yue behind. From time to time, they looked at the young master of the Song family with a little sympathy in their eyes.
Song Xingyi stood in the hall with a pale face, as if he had been stripped naked in the ice and snow, and he was fighting a cold war all over his body. What were they not familiar with? What did it mean that the type you don’t like won’t be together? Song Xingyi used the greatest willpower to not choose to flee on the spot.
His dignity was stomped on the soles of his feet like this, and a piercing pain spread, and Song Xingyi felt that he was about to die!
He was so obedient and good, he thought she liked him and would do anything for her.
But what did his obedience gain? He seems to have become a lingering dog. He should get rid of this woman and let this woman leave his sight forever, but he can’t even do that!
Song Xingyi even felt sorry for the other party’s self-deprecation and said that she was a substitute. How good was Ye Huan? Was it worth her? Song Xingyi was going crazy with jealousy!
How could Mother Song not see what her child was thinking? Seeing Song Xingyi’s whole body trembling with red eyes, Song’s mother felt distressed.
As long as Song Xingyi wanted, Song’s mother wanted to give him everything. Wasn’t she just a woman, don’t say that this woman was just a substitute, even if it were Ye Huan’s woman, what’s wrong with the young master of the Song family if he wants to be alone? But how could this woman despise her son?
“What’s wrong with my Xingyi?” Mother Song asked angrily, “How dare you treat him like this?”
She wished that this woman would stay away from her son, but now Mother Song just wanted this woman to stay by her son’s side. She did not react to this change of thought.
Before Tong Ling could answer, Shen Man, who had been watching since entering the banquet, came out to speak.
With a son as old as Ye Huan, Shen Man was naturally not young anymore, but she was a beauty when she was young, and she had always taken care of her body. Now, she was also am elegant and graceful madam.
Different from ordinary noble ladies, Shen Man had ambition and skill. Years of ups and downs in the market make people dare not underestimate this powerful woman, and even the Song family had to give her a little face.
“It’s not that Xingyi from your family is bad, it’s that Ye Huan from my family is too good.” Shen Man’s lips curled slightly, “Let the child’s affairs be handled by the child himself, and our elders should not interfere, am I right, Ms. Song?”
Shen Man’s words were quite ironic. She was a woman who wanted to be in control. Yu Yurou was sent abroad by her, but she double-marked her, and no one could say that she was wrong.
“…” Mother Song values face, after all, knowing that everyone’s face will not look good if the trouble continues, so using Shen Man’s words, she said sourly, “Your son is indeed unusual.
“Congratulations, Xing Yi is very good to be admitted to Beijing University, and my Ye Huan can’t compare it.”
“This is the result of his efforts.” The two women laughed as if nothing had happened just now, “Xing Yi, he has this ability.”
Song’s mother glanced at her little son and saw Song Xingyi put away his dejected appearance, and there was nothing wrong on the surface, she nodded silently in her heart. It’s time for Xing Yi to grow up. As a member of the Song family, as the host of this banquet, no matter how uncomfortable it was, he can’t cry and make people laugh!
A farce was revealed so quietly, and all the guests present pretended to be nonchalant. People in the business field, how to give people enough face is the most basic ability.
One after another, people came to Song’s father and Song’s mother to congratulate the young master of the Song family on his graduation. Song Xingyi stood beside his parents and accepted everyone’s congratulations expressionlessly.
The banquet was once again a lively scene.
This did not mean that everyone had forgotten what happened. Tong Ling noticed that more people were secretly looking at her, and those who gathered in twos and threes might still be discussing her “substitute declaration”.
“Are you uncomfortable?” Ye Xu knew how many people were watching them with ambiguous eyes, he didn’t care that he became the talk of the town, but he didn’t want Tong Ling to be uncomfortable, “If it’s uncomfortable, we can leave.”
“I…” As soon as Tong Ling was about to speak, Ye Huan pulled her to his side. In order not to let others continue to watch the fun, he suppressed his displeasure and said in a low voice, “My girlfriend, you don’t need to stay. I’m worried.”
“Girlfriend?” Ye Xu also sneered in a low voice: “Your girlfriend is abroad, and the one standing here is just a substitute.”
“If it was my girlfriend, I would never have a substitute behind my girlfriend, let her bear the pressure for me.”
Ye Huan’s face twisted slightly for a moment, “What do you mean?”
“Nothing.” Ye Xufeng said calmly, “You can’t just see.”
“You can only see. It’s just an eyesore,” Ye Huan smirked, “after all, no one wants to do this for you.”
The two men were sharp in their words, which made Tong Ling a little unable to intervene. Fortunately, they were very measured and did not let others hear what was going on.
When Shen Man arrived, the two quickly stopped talking. Before they could figure out Shen Man’s attitude, the two acted in unison in protecting Tong Ling.
“Yu Ling?” Shen Man’s eyes were filled with interest, “You are Yu Yurou’s younger sister?”
Tong Ling nodded and replied, “Yes, Mrs. Shen.”
“You two sisters are really interesting.” Shen Man sneered, “Everyone is staring at the Ye family, why, is it because my stupid son is too deceitful, or you don’t take me seriously?”
Tong Ling pretended to be stupid, “Mrs. Shen, I don’t understand what you mean. I like Ye Huan, I know Ye Huan likes my sister, but I, I don’t care, I just want to stay by his side.”
Shen Man hadn’t encountered such an interesting thing for a long time, so it stood to reason that she should get rid of this woman with ulterior motives like she did Yu Yurou, but she didn’t want to do that at all.
“Did Yu Yurou let you come to Ye Huan?” Shen Man guessed, “How could a woman like her give up so easily, and if she can’t get it, let her sister come over instead of her so that she can always benefit from it.”
“Mom, how can you speak like this?!” Ye Huan frowned, unable to bear to slander his girlfriend in front of his mother.
“Looks like you still have not come to your senses.” Shen Man saw that Ye Huan’s affection for Yu Yurou was not over, and his face lost his good expression, “I’ve seen how greedy your girlfriend is, you think she likes you? If she likes you, she won’t leave you for money!”
How could Ye Huan believe what Shen Man said, wasn’t his girlfriend just standing by his side??
“Don’t you believe it?” Shen Man had guessed how his stupid son would react, and immediately took out a document from his handbag and handed it to Ye Huan, “This is her consumption record, you can see for yourself. “
Shen Man didn’t want to do this, but Yu Yurou was just too greedy, and asked her for money twice, treating her as an ATM. If Yu Yurou stayed abroad, she could ignore the extra money she paid, but if she came back, Shen Man would let her spit out the money with interest!
“This…” Ye Huan was surprised when he saw the sums recorded in the documents.
Tong Ling leaned over to take a look and was amazed at Yu Yurou’s spending power. She wondered what stimulated the heroine. She was more pretentious than she (TL) was to spend so much money.
Tong Ling took Yu Yurou’s account by herself, received Ye Huan’s remittance every month, and was also cared for by Advisor Gu. With three incomes, she only had a dozen VIP beauty membership cards and felt the luxurious life of the upper class from time to time, and it was not used as much as the heroine!
“Did I live too plainly…” Tong Ling muttered to the system, “In terms of spending money, how can I be inferior to the heroine?”
M577: [Are you embarrassed to say that you lived plainly?]
M577 was tired of talking about Tong Ling’s shamelessness, [You eat and drink for free in Lu Yue’s company, and after work, Advisor Gu will pay you the bill, no matter who you go out with.]
