Chapter 4: An Unfavorable Start

~4 min read 797 words

"You are not." Sheng Hanyu was expressionless, his tone cold yet extremely certain.

Shi Youxuan was still immersed in the beautiful fantasy of gaining her freedom and hadn't come back to her senses, so she asked offhandedly, "What?"

Sheng Hanyu exuded a powerful, cold aura, but his tone was very flat: "The woman who went on a blind date with me was not you; you are an impostor."

Shi Youxuan reached out and waved her hand in front of his eyes: "Can you see?"

"The scent of the perfume is wrong, and the voice is wrong too. Who are you?"

After Sheng Hanyu gave his answer, he suddenly grabbed her wrist and gripped it tightly.

She felt as if her wrist was about to be crushed—suddenly she let out a "Wah!" and burst into tears: "It hurts, it hurts so much, you bad person, let me go, you big villain..."

Tears smeared all over her pretty little face; the woman who had been like an elf just a moment ago underwent a sudden change in style, crying and howling without the slightest regard for her image.

Sheng Hanyu released her, turned around, and walked out, not forgetting to pull the door shut.

In the Study.

"Investigate this woman immediately; I want to know every detail about her."

Sheng Hanyu threw the bright red booklet the woman had stuffed into his arms onto the table; he was expressionless and his emotions were unreadable, but the icy aura he exuded made the bodyguard involuntarily shiver.

"Yes."

The bodyguard picked up the marriage certificate and retreated silently.

"Bang!"

Sheng Hanyu slammed a fist onto the table, his face so gloomy it could wring out water; how dare she scheme against him?

This woman and the Shi Family must be tired of living.

The thing he hated most in his life was being schemed against, bar none!

Soon, the bodyguard appeared in the Study again and said respectfully: "Eldest Young Master, it has been investigated clearly. The Shi Family has two young ladies. The one who went on the blind date with you was the eldest young lady, and the Eldest Young Mistress is the second young lady..." The bodyguard's voice grew lower and lower, stopping before he finished.

"Go on."

"Yes."

The bodyguard swallowed a mouthful of saliva: "The, the second young lady is mentally disabled."

"Oh?"

Sheng Hanyu raised his eyebrows slightly, but he did not let his subordinate take any further action, nor did he think about sending the person back.

A mentally disabled woman married over here, a substitute? This debt will be recorded for the Shi Family first, to be settled later.

However, if the eldest young lady wants to get married, I'm afraid it won't be easy!

In the bridal chamber, the woman was already curled up on the bed "asleep," her breathing steady, with tear stains still on her face, the "tears" having washed channels through her makeup.

Her eyeliner and mascara had smudged, leaving a dark, messy patch around her eyelids.

"Eldest Young Mistress, please wake up." Zhang Ma pushed the door open and frowned when she saw her like this.

This is the Eldest Young Mistress the old master chose for his Eldest Young Master?

She looks like she isn't very bright!

There are not a few women willing to marry the Eldest Young Master; although she doesn't understand why the old master chose such a person, since the person has already entered the door, it is not for a housekeeper like her to gossip about.

Shi Youxuan was "sleeping" very soundly; Zhang Ma called her several times but couldn't wake her up.

"Eldest Young Mistress, it's time to eat." The last sentence worked; Shi Youxuan sat up from the bed with a "whoosh" as if by reflex: "Okay."

Under the housekeeper's strong suggestion, she washed her face and hands before sitting down at the dining table.

Sheng Hanyu sat opposite her. The meal was very sumptuous, but Shi Youxuan's table manners were very inelegant; she didn't even use chopsticks and went straight in with her hands. Her wolfing down of the food made the housekeeper standing opposite frown repeatedly.

"Eldest Young Mistress, please be more elegant."

Shi Youxuan stood up and wiped her oily hands on her clothes: "I'm full, I'm going back to the room to sleep-sleep." After saying this, she swaggered away...

However, the direction she was walking in was wrong.

The housekeeper followed behind and shouted a reminder: "Eldest Young Mistress, you are going the wrong way, that side is the kitchen."

So Shi Youxuan turned around and walked outside...

"Eldest Young Mistress, that is outside." The housekeeper hurriedly chased after her, not daring to let her walk by herself anymore, and led her back to the room.
