CH 25

“What are you talking about?” Yu Yurou tried her best to control her emotions and kept saying silently in her heart, This is the heir of the Ye family; this is her boyfriend; and she is the stepping stone for her to cross the hierarchy. Bear with it, yes, bear with it!

Ye Huan’s mood was very unpleasant at the moment. Although he had expected his actions to hurt his girlfriend, he still could not restrain his loss and pain when she so decisively proposed to break up.

But what if he doesn’t do this? Can he go against the Song family and Ye Xu to the end? Ye Huan didn’t want Ye’s business to be ruined while it was in his hands. In order not to sacrifice his girlfriend, he could only sacrifice the woman in front of him. Ye Huan made excuses on his own. Anyway, isn’t this woman in love with vanity? Even if she was with Song Xingyi or Ye Xu, she would not suffer.

“From now on, you are my girlfriend, Yu Yurou.” Ye Huan decided to negotiate a business deal with this Miss Yu, saying, “I will bring you into the upper-level social circle and let you get everything you want. And—”

“You must imitate your sister, whether in dressing or demeanor. Now your imitation is too poor, and you will be seen through at a glance when you meet someone who knows a little about her. So I need you to imitate her perfectly, do you understand?”

Song Xingyi and Ye Xu are different from others. They are too familiar with Yurou, Ye Huan doesn’t think they will get deceived easily, so he has to make the woman in front of him learn more, and he will help.

“Let me imitate myself?” Yu Yurou opened her eyes wide; as if hearing some joke, she twitched her mouth and said, “Ye Huan! Look clearly. I am Yu Yurou myself!” 

“I know that you were deceived by Yu Ling. You mistook her for me, but I’ve only been away for more than half a year. Don’t you even recognize me?” 

Hearing that Ye Huan chose her in front of Yu Ling, he also said that Yu Ling was a substitute, and Yu Yurou thought Ye Huan was awake.

Unexpectedly, Ye Huan was not only unawakened but became even more seriously ill!

Shen Man! It was all Shen Man’s fault! Not to mention breaking up her and Ye Huan, but also arranging Yu Ling for Ye Huan, which caused Ye Huan’s cognition to be damaged, and he couldn’t even tell the truth from the fake!

Ye Huan looked this woman up and down strangely and said, “Lu Yue didn’t make it clear to you? I asked you to come here to pretend to be your sister.” 

Is there something wrong with this woman? Thinking about it, it seemed she regarded herself as Yu Yurou, and yet he thought Lu Yue had promised her they were all acting.

Yu Yurou recalled what Lu Yue had said to her. Lu Yue said that she needs to be more patient, conquer Ye Huan as she did in the past, and slowly change Ye Huan’s opinion.

Judging by Ye Huan’s appearance, she will not be able to change her mind for a while. Yu Yurou had no choice but to suppress her displeasure and smile softly: “I know you can’t trust me for the time being, it’s okay. I can accompany you to recall our past.”

Ye Huan frowned: “Don’t laugh like that. You do not look like her when she smiles.”

Yu Yurou’s expression almost collapsed, wishing she could pick up Ye Huan and go to the psychiatric department for a checkup.

“I know you like to imitate Yurou, but you should be normal when you face me. You have to remember who you are, and don’t ask for things that don’t belong to you.” Ye Huan gave a slight warning and then prepared to reform this woman.

“Let me tell you some of Yurou’s little habits and preferences first; her actions and demeanor are somewhat different from yours. Just like her smile just now, Yurou’s eyes are very charming when she smiles. It can melt people’s hearts…..”

Listening to Ye Huan’s explanation, Yu Yurou drifted away, a little distracted.

Her boyfriend—is there any help? Should she give up Ye Huan and change her target?

Ye Huan’s head was filled with “What about Yurou” and “What will Yurou do?” In Ye Huan’s eyes, “Yu Yurou” seemed to be noble, pure, exquisite, and full of melancholy. In short, that woman has nothing to do with her!

Yu Yurou tried to tell the story of her and Ye Huan’s acquaintance and love, but Ye Huan turned around and said, “Yu Rou told you these things?” Ye Huan’s eyes were cold, “Don’t put such small thoughts on me!”

That cold, indifferent expression made Yu Yurou’s heart go cold.

A man who cannot even recognize his girlfriend, a man who makes his girlfriend imitate other women, what is there for her to miss?

Yu Yurou likes a superior life and has taken a fancy to Ye Huan’s wealth, which doesn’t mean she has no feelings for Ye Huan.

But her relationship couldn’t bear such wear and tear, and after getting along for a while, she felt extremely tormented, and most of the thought of marrying into the Ye family dissipated.

If a better choice is available, Yu Yurou would not take this muddy water.

The bad thing is far more than that.

After returning home, Yu Yurou finally discovered why her room had changed.

As soon as Mother Yu saw her, she looked at her disgustedly, “Why are you back? Are you still dressed like this?

“Studying abroad is not for you to learn the bad customs outside. You have to know that your sister gave you everything you eat and wear, you are not allowed to be extravagant and wasteful, do you know?” 

When did Yu Yurou ever get treated like this by her mother?

Yurou immediately shouted angrily: “Mom! I’m Yurou! I’m not Yu Ling!” “

“Forget about Ye Huan, you are my real mother. Don’t you even know me?” 

After accumulating resentment for a long time, she exploded: “Everyone is saying something inexplicable. I just left the country, why has everything changed!” 

“You are Rourou?” Startled, she looked at Yu Yurou’s figure suspiciously and said, “But Yu Ling is the one who went abroad instead of Rourou, and Rourou lives in the big villa. Your dad and I went to see her last time. That villa is huge and luxurious. Rourou said that she will take the two of us to live there.”

The more Mother Yu talked, the more she felt that the daughter who lived in the villa was the real Yu Yurou, and the one in front of her was just a fake.

“Yu Ling, you’ve become bold since you left the country. You even dare to impersonate your sister!” Mother Yu cursed angrily, “And what’s your attitude? How dare you talk to me like that?”

“Why did I give birth to you back then, you evil spirit? You deliberately made me unhappy!”

When Yu’s mother scolded Yu Ling like this before, Yu Yurou didn’t think there was anything wrong, but now the curse fell on her. She suddenly realized how vicious her mother was.

“Mom, are you sure you don’t know me? Or are you just staring at that big villa? Whoever gives you the villa is your good daughter.” 

How could Yu Yurou not know what kind of person her mother is? She values money and her family background so much that they are inseparable from her mother.

Yu’s mother was originally a vulgar and philistine person because Yu Yurou was cute and smart since she was a child, and she always saved face for her when she went out, so Yu’s mother valued Yu Yurou very much.

Her mother would pick whatever is good for her to use and say in her ear all day long: Mom will count on you from now on, Rourou. You have to live up to it. 

Relying on Yu’s mother’s love, Yu Yurou lived a very comfortable life. She has a beautiful face and a coaxing mouth, so everyone likes her. The opposite of her is Yu Ling, a person with no sense of presence; a follower like a shadow. Yu Yurou occasionally brings her sister along to let others know she is a good sister who takes care of her younger sister. 

However, her useless younger sister is born intelligent, and the questions she doesn’t know academically can be easily answered by her younger sister, Yu Ling.

For such an unremarkable younger sister, Yu Yurou was not without envy, but soon she thought of a way to surpass her in test scores every time.

Yu Yurou started to ask Yu Ling to help her with her homework and take the exam for her, and if she coaxed her with a little candy, she would be overjoyed.

How could Yu’s mother and Yu’s father not know about this substitute exam? But neither stopped it. In their eyes, Yu Yurou was more promising.

On the day she received the admission letter from Peking University, Yu Yurou knew that her chance had come.

In a good university like Beijing University, the connections you make there are all future resources. Yu Yurou is good at exploiting interpersonal relationships, and as she gets to know more respectable people, Yu’s mother and father will value her more and more.

They all know that if their daughter is capable and marries a wealthy family in the future, the whole family will be able to live a good life.

Yu Yurou didn’t think there was anything wrong with their thinking, but if her mother deliberately denied her for a big villa, it would be disgusting.

Yu Yurou’s guess is not out of the question.

When Yu’s mother heard Yu Yurou say this, she immediately covered her heart and wailed, “You heartless thing, what are you talking about? Apologize to your mother, and see what nonsense you are talking about!”

“Yu Ling is more useful than me, so you don’t want me anymore.” 

Yu Yurou ran into her room angrily and picked up the things she did not own. It was thrown out one by one as she screamed. 

“Why is there something wrong with my room? Whose property is this? Is it Yu Ling’s? You let Yu Ling live in my room, right?” 

Yu Yurou smashed the room into a mess and said bitterly, “I hate people robbing me the most, and she will never get what I want!”

Mother Yu looked at this scene and murmured, “Crazy, she is crazy!.This is not my daughter!”

“Oh,” seeing her mother’s reaction, Yu Yurou sneered, “Mom, do you think you can live a good life by choosing Yu Ling?” 

“You won’t forget how you treated her, right? Which idiot is being belittled and scolded by you every day and still respects you regardless of the past? Just wait, I will let you know that a fake is a fake, and she will always be my shadow and that will never change in this life!”

After Yu Yurou finished speaking, she picked up her suitcase and left the house with big strides.

Mother You stared at Yu Yurou’s back in a daze, walked to the sofa, and sat down.

Father Yu on the side asked in a low voice, “Is that Rourou?”

Mother Yu’s eyes shifted. “I don’t know.”

“How could Rourou be like that?” Father Yu patted his chest with lingering fear and said, “It’s just full of nonsense!”

Yu’s mother nodded. Yes, their daughter is elegant and beautiful, and she will be the wife of a top wealthy family in the future. She will never act like an uneducated woman.

Lu Yue arranged for Yu Yurou and Ye Xu to meet in a cafe with a quiet environment.

Since she was quite disappointed with Ye Huan, Yu Yurou naturally had the idea of replacing her. Besides Ye Huan, the most suitable candidate for her is Ye Xu.

Yu Yurou originally thought of getting a replacement phone card first and then contacting Ye Xu by phone.

Who would have thought that her ID card was invalid? Not only could she not make up her phone card, but it also put her in the predicament of not having a legal identity.

Fortunately, Lu Yue offered to help, saying he would help her get an appointment with Ye Xu. By the way, he also found a hotel for her, who ran away from home and treated her with the same care and consideration as before.

Yu Yurou, who was mentally hit by Ye Huan and her parents one after another, was taken care of by Lu Yue. How could she not feel good about it? It’s a pity that no matter what she hinted at, Lu Yue didn’t show any interest in her, as if he were devoted to Yu Ling and no one could shake his mind.

It made Yu Yurou feel jealous, wondering what kind of charm her younger sister possessed to tie down such a prodigal son in love.

Lu Yue likes Yu Ling, and Yu Yurou can’t say bad things about her sister in front of him. But Lu Yue always asked about her sister’s past experiences in front of her, which made Yu Yurou very annoyed.

“What was Lingling like when she was a child? She’s so good. Is she very favored at home?” Lu Yue never left Yu Ling in every word he spoke, his eyes were full of love. “If I could meet Lingling earlier, I will never let her suffer the slightest bit of grievance.”

Yu Yurou said with a dry smile: “Xiaoling wasn’t very talkative since she was a child, and I was the one who took care of her. After all, she is the youngest, and the family members are more lenient toward her.”

“Is that so?” Lu Yue asked again: “How did you take care of her, Yurou?”

Yu Yurou murmured in her heart, feeling that Lu Yue’s questions were intentional. Could it be that Yu Ling said something to Lu Yue? But looking at Lu Yue’s expression, it doesn’t look like it.

“Xiao Ling doesn’t have any friends. I’m the one who stays with her.” Yu Yurou didn’t want to talk about Yu Ling anymore, so she changed the subject and said, “When is Ye Xu coming?”

“Soon.” Lu Yue looked at the time and said, “He is very punctual and will never be late.”

Just as Lu Yue finished speaking, the door of the cafe opened.

The man who entered the door was tall and handsome. He was dressed in a formal suit, and his appearance and demeanor were very eye-catching.

Yu Yurou’s face suddenly became a little happier, and she leaned out and waved to the man, “Ye Xu, here.”

Ye Xu glanced in Yu Yurou’s direction coldly, and his expression became confused. After he walked unhurriedly to the table, his eyes fixed on Lu Yue.

Knowing that it was Ye Xu who asked him to explain, Lu Yue stood up with a smile and said, “Someone wants to see you. I’ll help you set up a line. Talk slowly, and I won’t bother you.”

Lu Yue said and left the table. When the two were not paying attention, he walked towards a cubicle with a sudden step.

Green plants are placed outside each cubicle in this cafe. After customers sit down, it is difficult for people outside to see the figures inside, guaranteeing a certain degree of privacy.

In the cubicle, Tong Ling was stirring the coffee. Seeing Lu Yue approaching, she didn’t raise her eyes, as if she didn’t care about the situation outside.

“You should be able to hear their conversations here.” Lu Yue lowered his voice and said, “Aren’t you wondering if Ye Xu recognizes Yu Yurou?”

Lu Yue said while observing Tong Ling’s expression, “If Ye Xu helps her, your identity will not be stable.” 

Tong Ling took a sip of coffee and said, “It’s not that you said you would help me become Yu Ling. Is it a lie?”

“I will never be perfunctory towards your request.” Lu Yue said seriously. “If he believes in Yu Yurou, I will expose her.”

Tong Ling chuckled: “Why didn’t I see you say that to Ye Huan?”

Lu Yue said with a straight face, “I can’t help it. Only when you break up can I have a chance.” 

“Feel more excited?” Tong Ling reached out and hooked Lu Yue’s chin, saying, “It’s a pity that Ye Huan is not here; otherwise, he should show you how you look on his bed.”

Lu Yue’s heartbeat was accelerated by Tong Ling’s words. He grabbed Tong Ling’s hand and gently kissed it. “I only show you what I look like on the bed.”

Tong Ling withdrew her finger and wiped Lu Yue’s collar. “Okay, listen to them quietly.”

Lu Yue’s mentality became unstable due to Tong Ling’s hot and cold attitude. Seeing that Tong Ling didn’t look at him anymore, he sat aside sullenly, exuding sadness all over his body.

The atmosphere at Yu Yurou and Ye Xu’s place was not good.

As soon as Yu Yurou saw Ye Xu, she first explained her dire situation: “To prevent me from contacting people in China, Shen Man canceled my mobile phone number after I went abroad, and my social account was also stolen. It’s all gone; even the ID card is invalid.”

“Ye Xu, now that Ye Huan recognizes Yu Ling as I and my parents are the same, I feel like my life will be replaced!” 

“Can you help me?” Yu Yurou looked at Ye Xu expectantly and said, “I want Yu Ling to disappear so that she won’t use my face to deceive me again.”

Lu Yue heard Yu Yurou’s words and immediately Tsk-tsk: “She wouldn’t say such things in front of me. She doesn’t even pretend to be a good sister.” “

“Shh.” Tong Ling told Lu Yue to shut up, and he listened carefully to the voice on the other side.

The long moment of silence made the surrounding air stagnate.

Yu Yurou’s expression gradually stiffened. “Ye Xu?”

Ye Xu’s appearance is too strange! Before, Ye Xu would agree to all her requests without hesitation. She knew that this was Shen Man’s fault, but she couldn’t stand Yu Ling’s existence. Yu Yurou had an inexplicable feeling that if Yu Ling did not disappear, her life would be completely denied.

Ye Xu lowered his eyes as if he didn’t hear Yu Yurou’s voice. His whole body felt empty.

“Ye Xu!”  Seeing that Ye Xu hadn’t moved, Yu Yurou raised her hand and wanted to touch him.

Before her hand touched him, Ye Xu suddenly dodged back and asked with deep eyes, “What did you say?”

Yu Yurou always felt that Ye Xu was very indifferent, even though Ye Xu was very kind to her. That sense of indifference has not gone away. Now this feeling is getting stronger, which makes her a little annoyed, “My sister, Yu Ling, is my substitute on the surface, but Ye Huan treats me as me. I think Ye Huan’s spirit is not normal because of her existence. Ye Huan still wants me to imitate her. I’ve had enough. Why should I imitate a woman who imitates me?” 

“Ye Xu, help me; as long as you help me, I will do anything for you .”

Yu Yurou blushed slightly; this was the first time she said such straightforward words in front of Ye Xu. She knew that Ye Xu liked her, and she had never responded to Ye Xu’s feelings for Ye Huan before. This time, she made up her mind that even if Ye Xu didn’t have the assets of the Ye family, she would still be with him.

For the sake of her sacrifice, Ye Xu will help her achieve her wish no matter what.

However, Yu Yurou’s expectations finally came to nothing.

Ye Xu was like a wooden man, and his response to her was weird and cold: “I don’t understand what you’re talking about.”

“Don’t understand?” Yu Yurou couldn’t help raising her voice. “Why don’t you understand? Ye Xu Xu, don’t you want to help me?”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about.” Ye Xu’s exquisite eyebrows were a little cold. “I think you’ve found the wrong person, Miss Yu.”

“Miss Yu? You call me Miss Yu?” Yu Yurou didn’t understand why Ye Xu had such a reaction. “Ye Xu, what’s wrong with you?” 

“She wouldn’t call me that.” Ye Xu clenched his hands tightly, and his mood was not as calm as the surface. “You want her to disappear? How could you have such a terrible idea?”

When Yu Yurou mentioned the mobile phone number on the ID card, Ye Xu knew what the matter was.

Those are the things he handed over to his girl. She will become “Yu Yurou” and cannot do without his help.

Ye Xu carefully compared the woman in front of him with the girl in his memory, and he found that this woman had completely changed her appearance.

She is not her at all! Why would he make his girl disappear for someone who wasn’t her?

Maybe what he heard was all a lie. He shouldn’t be here today; he shouldn’t be here to see this person!

“Have you met Yu Ling?” Yu Yurou said in shock, “You thought she was me too?”

Are these men crazy? Stupid! In front of them, a real person like her is not as good as a fake!

“Miss Yu, please don’t say that you are Yu Yurou in the future.” Ye Xu stood up, this time without leaving a glance. “We haven’t met before and I have not heard what you said. I hope you will not harass her.”

Ye Xu will pretend that nothing happened, so nothing will change.

“…” Yu Yurou watched Ye Xu walk away. She sat at the table in a daze, unable to recover for a long time.

Lu Yue was not very satisfied with this development, especially when he saw Tong Ling smiling. He felt even more sour.

“Ye Xu didn’t recognize Yu Yurou’s identity. Did that make you happy?” Lu Yue couldn’t control his emotions. Compared with him, Ye Xu seemed to be more in Tong Ling’s favor.

“Why would I be unhappy?” Tong Ling frowned. “Ye Xu has never let me down.”

“Before you saw me, Ye Xu helped me. I was able to use Yu Yurou’s identity smoothly, thanks to him.”

Lu Yue didn’t know these things at all. When the two had deeper contact, he was so jealous. “Aren’t I helping you more than him?”

“Lu Yue, did I forget to tell you?” Tong Ling said coldly, “There is no relationship between us. Isn’t it too much for you to be jealous of him?” 

“I don’t like men who don’t know how to measure; I hope we don’t meet with each other for the time being.”

Lu Yue turned pale and said hurriedly, “Don’t you want me to test Song Xingyi for you?”

“There’s nothing to test.” Tong Ling said casually, “Just throw away disobedient dogs, and the same goes for people.”
