The phone vibrated again. The second message read: [Remember that right now, you're your elder sister Shen Congxin. If anyone finds out, we're dead, both mother and daughter!]
Shen Yugui clenched her jaw.
She was twins with her elder sister. Unfortunately, her sister was born with a birthmark that made her look very ugly.
When Old Madam Fei chose her elder sister to accompany Fei Nancheng, she ran away from home!
With no other choice, her mother could only hurriedly call Shen Yugui, who had grown up in a foreign country, to pretend to be Shen Congxin and get through this crisis.
Shen Yugui used special pigments to touch up the birthmark before going downstairs. The butler had already readied a car to send her home.
-
On the way, the car was suddenly pulled over.
Shen Yugui immediately had a bad feeling. Sure enough, the butler turned to say apologetically, "Miss Shen, um… the car broke down..."
Shen Yugui rubbed the corners of her mouth and looked nonplussed. Her voice was a little low but carried a clear tone. "It's alright, my house isn't too far from here. I'll just walk back."
She got out of the car and looked at the endless street, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. This unlucky physique!
She had had bad luck since she was a child. It was common for the vehicle she was riding in to break down, but she never expected that it would even happen to the Fei family's limited-edition Rolls-Royce...
After walking for a long time, she finally reached her house.
The Shen residence was a secluded villa. It was a three-story building, but there was no way it could compare to the Fei family's mansion.
Standing at the door, Shen Yugui wiped the sweat from her forehead and sighed.
Just as she was about to enter, a Passat drove over and stopped beside her.
The car window rolled down and a surprised male voice said, "Congxin, why are you walking back by yourself?"
Shen Yugui turned and saw a middle-aged man sitting in the car. He stared at her in surprise with eyes that looked similar to hers.
Then, he jumped to conclusions and said in a low voice, "Did you anger Mr. Fei? Were you chased out?!"
Shen Yugui lifted the corners of her lips in a sneer.
This was her amazing father Shen Tianhao, the one who sold his own daughter for glory!
Sitting next to Shen Tianhao was a middle-aged woman with heavy makeup. Her eyes were fierce, and her expression was unkind. She said, "Congxin looks dumb and wooden. It's not surprising that Mr. Fei didn't take a liking to her.
Shen Yugui's eyes became colder.
This woman was her father's childhood friend, Bai Zhu. He kept her outside the family for many years and even let her give birth to a son and daughter for him. The boy was even two years older than Shen Yugui and her sister!
Shen Yugui knew that her mother and sister had a hard time at home, but she never thought that over the years, they would become even more brazen and would dare to show themselves so openly!
'Creak', the door opened.
Her mother, Yu Manyu, had most likely heard noises when she rushed outside. She was thin and sallow-faced and had thick dark circles under her eyes. It was clear that she had not slept the entire night out of worry.
She grabbed Shen Yugui's hands. Her face was full of concern and her eyes grew red. "Yu… You've suffered so much, my daughter!"
Shen Yugui wanted to say something to comfort her, but Bai Zhu interrupted, "Since Mr. Fei hasn't taken a liking to her, why don't we discuss the divorce?"
