Shen Yugui quickly rolled off the bed. Her legs went soft the moment they touched the ground and she nearly collapsed from nausea. Fortunately, she was able to hold onto the bed at the last second. The discomfort in her body caused her to pause for a while before she hurriedly got dressed and gave chase.
She opened the door and charged down the stairs. There, she saw Fei Nancheng just as he was about to leave.
His profile was well defined. He was clearly extremely handsome, but right now, his lower jaw was stiff and his expression was cold. Even without speaking, his entire body gave out an aura of hostility. It was clear from a single glance that he was angry.
Seeing him walk to the door and about to leave, the butler could only steel his nerves and say, "Sir, excuse me, but..."
Fei Nancheng froze in place and turned around. His eyes were sharp and icy.
The butler coughed. "The Old Madam called this morning and s-s-said that in order to cultivate your feelings with Miss Shen, Miss Shen will come here to spend the night with you on the first and fifteenth of every month."
With every word he spoke, he felt the man's gaze grow even colder. By the time he finished speaking, the butler's head was covered in cold sweat. He swallowed. "The Old Madam is not well, and the doctor said that we should listen to her, otherwise…"
Fei Nancheng already understood what the butler was saying without him finishing the sentence. The annoyance in his expression became more pronounced. His eyes were terrifyingly ruthless.
The butler and servants were so frightened they did not dare to breathe. It was so silent that a pin drop could be heard, like the calm before the storm.
A long time passed.
Fei Nancheng clicked his tongue and turned to look up the stairs.
A girl stood there. She was too far away to be seen clearly in the dim light, but her posture was too similar...
As soon as he thought that, Fei Nancheng's eyes immediately reflected a gaze of coldness.
Seeing Fei Nancheng's eyes, Shen Yugui, who had not managed to go downstairs yet, trembled with fear. If eyes could kill, she would have been chopped into a thousand pieces already!
Then, she heard him gnash his teeth and enunciate, "Make sure she doesn't appear in front of me at any other time!"
The disgusted tone made Shen Yugui freeze.
If he hated her that much, why did he touch her last night?
-
As the car motor rumbled to life outside, the servants in the house finally sighed in relief. They gathered together and started to gossip in low voices.
"Mr. Fei's terrifying…"
"Of course he is. Mr. Fei has very high standards. No woman has been able to catch his eye for so many years, but the Old Madam just had to arrange for an ugly woman to… Anyway, what kind of lucky star do you think Miss Shen was born under? How did she become the only one to win the Old Madam's favor?"
"Who knows…"
Listening to the words of the servants downstairs, Shen Yugui subconsciously raised her hand to touch the right side of her face.
Even if she told them, they might not believe her.
Last night was the first time she met Fei Nancheng. As for this 'Old Madam' whose favor she had won, Shen Yugui had never met her before!
The reason why she agreed to come here was that relying on the Fei family was her only chance.
She did not understand why the Old Madam, someone who doted on Fei Nancheng and was anxious to carry a grandchild, would choose an 'ugly woman' like her.
While she thought about this, a phone rang behind her.
It was her cellphone…
Shen Yugui returned to the bedroom and picked it up. It was a message from her mother, Yu Manyu: [Yugui, have you been exposed?]
Reading this message, Shen Yugui subconsciously raised her head and looked at the mirror beside her.
The blue birthmark on her face had faded somewhat...
