"Maybe you intentionally placed her by Sheng Yun's side … "Not necessarily." I said tentatively.
"Yeah, maybe I've played with him before. I'm too bored to play with him, so I might as well give him to Sheng Yun." Ling Yue's face came over and he reached out his hand to touch me again. I knocked his hand off heavily and said, "Be more serious!"
"Think what you want. In the future, there won't be any place to cry. Don't blame me for not reminding you." Ling Yue shook his head, sighed and said, "I don't understand you stupid women, to think so highly of love. Love, in fact, was something that did not exist in this world. Only the money that we get is real. "
"Ling Yue, you have enough money, right? So much floor tiles are made of gold, but why do I feel that your heart has always been empty? Do you know why? " I asked.
Ling Yue was stunned again, he looked at me with cynicism and said: "Why? Tell me about it. "
"Because money does work for a lot of things, but it doesn't work for a soul. Body emptiness can be filled with desire, life can be filled with matter, but your heart... They could only rely on their feelings of disdain to fill in the blanks. You can despise feelings and think that you don't need them for the rest of your life, but you can't escape them. If you don't have feelings, even if you have the whole world, you won't have true happiness. " I looked him in the eye and said it word for word.
"Tch!" He looked at me with utter disdain, and then he laughed. "Emotions are the shackles to people, and a woman like you, who can walk away from the world as gracefully as I do, but is dragged down by a man, married, and has children, and makes herself so miserable, I really don't know what you're after. Do you want money? Are you afraid of men? Why did he have to make a family and make himself so passive? Sooner or later, you will regret such a choice! "Regret this life!"
"No, you are wrong. I will never regret this choice, will never regret this life. You may not understand it now, but you will only understand it when you meet someone like that one day. Ling Yue, I once thought like you that I don't need emotions myself, until I met Sheng Yun. " I looked at Ling Yue, and the more I said it, the more assured I became in my heart, "You must think that just these few photos alone can make me fall into disarray, but let me tell you, not only will I not, but I will choose a man who believes in me. Without trust, we would not have been able to reach today. "
"Then just wait and cry. When the time comes, don't blame me for not reminding you." Ling Yue listened to me and shook his head dejectedly. He waved his hands at me and said, "What a pity, what a pity."
"There must never have been a woman who loved you like this. If there was, you shouldn't be feeling sad right now, but you should be envious instead. "I'm jealous of Sheng Yun for having a woman like me by his side in his life." "No," I said.
Ling Yue was shocked.
I stood up and smiled. "I'll pay for it today. Next time you provide me with information, please don't use photos anymore. "I was born in public relations to begin with. This kind of deceptive trick is too beginner!"
I turned around and went to the bar. After swiping my card, I calmly left the Thai restaurant.
When I said those words, all the confusion, all the contradictions, all the anxiety disappeared from my mind. I hated myself the most for becoming a suspicious woman. The more I did that, the more I needed to calm down.
No matter what Ling Yue's intention was to sow discord, my words today was enough to defeat his complacent confidence. I made him understand that even if I lost my beauty and figure, I still had a powerful and indestructible heart. I wouldn't allow him to pour dirty water on me, disrupt my control, and cause me to lose my basic trust in Sheng Yun.
But I'm not going to sit back and wait for death, because there's a good chance the rumors are true. At least everything in the picture is true.
Sheng Yun didn't tell me the truth, so there must be something behind this.
I wouldn't be stupid enough to trust my husband, but I wouldn't easily suspect him either. I need to know the truth.
When I got out of the restaurant, I got in the car and the driver asked me if I wanted to go home. I shook my head and said, "No, to Golden Age."
"Director Sheng called several times to tell you to go home early. He said he was worried about your health and that you should go home to rest early." the driver said.
"I'm fine. I'm going to Golden Age." I said firmly to the driver.
The driver turned around and drove me to the Sheng Shi building. I got off the car but was stopped by the security guard at the entrance.
"You don't know me?" I didn't know whether to laugh or cry as I looked at him.
"Excuse me, but you are?" He looked at me blankly.
"I am Sheng Yun's wife, call your captain over." I looked at him and said.
"You are Director Sheng's wife? No... "Impossible, I've seen Director Sheng's wife before, stop teasing me." His face was full of mockery.
Unexpectedly, I have become so fat that no one would dare to believe me even if I said I was Sheng Yun's wife.
"Have your captain come." I said helplessly.
The security guard skeptically ran over and called their captain over. The captain was an old employee of Golden Age, and he looked me up and down for a long time before finally confirming with a salute: "Boss Xu, long time no see, everyone …" I almost didn't recognize you. "
It was an embarrassing situation, and I smiled warmly and finally managed to walk into the building.
It had only been a little more than a year, but it felt like a lifetime had passed. The elevator is the same elevator, the skyscraper is the same skyscraper, but I... Completely changed.
I have begun to accept that I am now fat, bloated, and full of features, from ugly to beautiful, and from beautiful to ugly, is a long process.
Sheng Yunyuan was overseas. When I arrived at the headquarters' office, he sent me a message as if he had come to a mutual understanding.
"Wife, I have already left the United States and am preparing to go to Germany. I miss you." The message still carried on his usual style, concise and deep in love.
"Alright, I have a safe trip." I replied to him.
"Thinking of you, thinking of Qian Jin and Zaizai. Send me a photo, I love you." He sent it again.
I looked at the text message and smiled knowingly. I sent him the photos of Qian Jin and Zaizai that I took before heading out of the office. Then, with a calm expression, I walked into the headquarters.
I immediately saw the girl at the front desk and was able to tell that she was the Lin Sexi Ling Yue had mentioned.
When I saw her, I was even more shocked than when I saw the picture. Because this Lin Sexi is indeed too similar to me.
She was dressed much the same as I had five years ago, dressed in the same style, with the same posture and even the same smile.
Didn't Sheng Yun say that her ability was outstanding? Why is it arranged at the front desk? He clearly promised to dismiss her, but why would she still appear at the company headquarters?
She was sitting at the front desk with a standard smile on her face. When I came in, she greeted me in both Chinese and English, then asked me politely who I was and who I was.
Her face was covered with collagen, and her skin was so tender that it looked like it could be pinch water. Her face and the corners of her lips were astonishingly similar to mine, the only difference being that there was a palm-sized scar on her right neck, which looked like it had been scalded.
Apart from that, she was no different from me. Suddenly seeing someone who was almost the same as him in this world made him feel horrified. Even I couldn't resist my curiosity and an urge to understand, let alone Sheng Yun.
"I'm Xu Shubei, Sheng Yun's wife." I looked at her for a moment, then said bluntly.
CHAPTER 257 - CONSPIRACY START
Her expression was cold, very much like mine. She smiled at my words, and then said in a low voice, "Oh, hello."
I stood in front of her and loo
ked directly at her. She looked at me, and neither of us blinked.
I thought my presence could intimidate her, but it never occurred to me that she was calmer than I expected.
"Hello, your name is Lin Sexi?" I asked.
"No, my surname is Song, and my name is Song Sexi." She paused, smiled, and said.
I suddenly remembered that when Sheng Yun had first told me, he had also said her name was Sexi Song. But I remember Ling Yue saying that her name was Lin Sexi, Lin Shaoxiong's illegitimate daughter.
"Oh, do you know me?" I asked again.
"I've heard of it, but I've never seen it." A lot of people said that I'm very similar to you, but now Tianyi thinks... "It doesn't seem very similar." she said, smiling.
"I used to be thin, but now I'm fat." "No," I said.
"Didn't Director Sheng go on a business trip? "Are you here …?" she asked doubtfully.
"Look at you." I said bluntly.
She was stunned. "Looking at me?"
"Yes, come to Director Sheng's office for a while, I want to talk to you." I tapped the table with my fingers.
"Oh, okay. However, Director Sheng's office is locked. Only he knows the password. " Lin Sexi said.
"I know the password. You can come in." I waved the key in my hand.
I was the first to walk in. The subordinates who were close to me a long time ago noticed that I had appeared, so they all nodded their heads in anticipation. When I entered, they all stood up to greet me.
The green plants in front of the French window were a little withered. I picked up the kettle beside me and sprinkled some water on it. While I was squatting in front of the French window to water the flowers, Lin Sexi had already walked in and closed the door.
"What instructions do you have for me?" she asked, standing behind me.
After I finished watering the last plant, I stood up and turned to look at her. I pointed at the sofa and said, "Sit down."
She sat down, without the formality of an employee meeting the boss's wife, and with a sense of propriety and naturalness.
I walked over and sat across from her. I washed the tea set and started boiling water to make tea.
"Let me do it." "No," she said.
"No need. Do you know why I called you here?" I asked, waving my hand.
"I know, you're suspecting the relationship between me and Director Sheng." She said bluntly, then smiled and said, "Actually, you are overthinking it. You should know better than me what kind of man Director Sheng is. I think it's a sign of unconfidence that you're looking for me. "
"You are very smart, but smart and intelligent are two different things." I smiled and placed the sterilized cup on the table with the clip. I poured two small cups of tea and indicated that she should have some to drink.
"I don't like tea. I only drink coffee." She shook her head.
When I heard her words, I was slightly stunned before I smiled and said, "If I'm not wrong, your surname is not Song, but Lin, right?"
"I don't know why you said that." She shook her head and smiled helplessly, "Ever since I came to the company and people say that I'm like you, I knew you would come looking for me. "But I didn't expect that you would come to find me later than I expected."
"Indeed, I will come and find you. However, the reason why I will come and find you is definitely not the reason that you think I am looking for you." I smiled and said, "I'm not afraid of you getting close to Sheng Yun. I'm afraid of you... He had an ulterior motive. I don't care if you are Lin Sexi or Sexi Song, I just want to tell you one thing, regardless of what your goal is, you will not be able to achieve it. "
"Hehe," she laughed disdainfully, then said, "You and Director Sheng are indeed husband and wife, each is more suspicious than the other. I've already told him that I'm honest and you can do whatever you want to me. I don't care if you do whatever you want to me. You can put me in any position, but there's only one thing. You can't fire me for no good reason, and I won't take the initiative to resign. "
"I've seen your file and I don't think you need to be upset about being at Golden Age with your education. So I'm very curious, what makes you want to stay in Golden Age? " I asked, looking at her.
"For such a large company like Golden Age, I, who have just graduated as a university student, would definitely wish to stay here. Even if I am the receptionist, as long as I do my job well, what's there to be afraid of? Back then, didn't you also start from an ordinary employee? " Lin Sexi laughed.
"Looks like you've investigated me." "No," I said.
"Yes, because of curiosity. They say I look like you, so I naturally have to know what you are like. " "No," she said.
"What did you conclude?" I asked again.
"Whatever you can obtain, I will obtain in the future. Because what you are trying to do, I am also trying. "She looked at me, her eyes shining," I think what we lack is age, other things … You have it, and I don't lack it either. "
"Did you know I grew up in a orphanage when I was a kid?" My gaze sharpened as I asked, "I think you should know Xia's mother from the summer orphanage, right?"
I could clearly see a quick flicker in her eyes.
She smiled, shook her head and said, "I'm sorry, I grew up in a healthy family. I don't know where the welfare home you mentioned is."
"I remember when I was at the orphanage, there was a little girl who looked very similar to me, but then she suddenly disappeared and I couldn't find her for many years. "Looking back, her age is about the same as yours." As I spoke, I kept an eye on her reaction.
Her expression was more nonchalant than I had expected. She smiled and said, "Is that so? It seems that my face is truly a common face. Wherever I go, there will be people who look like me. "Luckily, you're no longer like me now. Sometimes, Director Sheng would look at me with such a focused gaze that I would laugh at him and ask him if he thinks of me as you."
"The strange thing is that if I were the public face, I wouldn't be surprised, but I'm not. I don't have any siblings. My parents left early on, so how could someone who looked exactly like me appear in this world? And it's such a coincidence that he appeared by my husband's side, or when I was pregnant? " I said slowly.
"I'm afraid you'll have to ask yourself that question, because I don't know. I'm surprised, why do you always say that I'm similar to you? In the end, I actually saw it, but it doesn't look like it at all. "At the very least, their bodies are different." There was an almost imperceptible smirk on her face.
"Little Bell." I suddenly shouted.
Her face stiffened.
She probably didn't expect me to shout out so suddenly, so she wasn't prepared for it. However, I had already caught the reaction on her face.
In all likelihood, she was the "little bell" from back then.
I stood up and looked at her. "You're the little bell, aren't you?"
"What little bell? What are you talking about?" She also stood up and said with a smile, "Mrs. Sheng, I've heard that it's very easy to become depressed after childbirth. I suggest you go to the hospital and have a look."
"It doesn't matter if I'm depressed or not. The important thing is if you really are Little Bell, I need you to tell me, why did you disappear all those years ago? Where have you disappeared to all these years? " I couldn't help but ask.
"I'm not some little bell. I really suspect that you have a mental problem." "No," she said.
I walked in, put my hand on her shoulder, and looked into her eyes. Then suddenly I saw that there was a layer of white skin on the scar on her neck.
The skin under the scar was white and clean, without any problems! But why did she have to make a scar like this to make him look ugly?
"Xu Shubei!" "Don't go too far!" With that, she called out my name.
"If you dare to call out my name directly, you must have some motive! Otherwise, you wouldn't be so disrespectful to me! " "No," I said.
"You're right! I have an intention! It was not yet time! Since you discovered it earli
er! "Then I might as well tell you, yes, I'm surnamed Lin, and I'm Lin Sexi. I'm that little bell that you pushed off the mountain that year!" she said excitedly.
Before I could react, she suddenly took a piece of red silk out of her pocket, grabbed me by the neck, and said fiercely: "You'd better not make a sound! If you make a sound! I'll strangle you to death! "
"Are you crazy? What are you trying to do? " I asked loudly. I hadn't expected her to do such a crazy thing all of a sudden.
"I want to replace you. I want to take away everything that belongs to you, your husband, your career, your children. Moreover, I will also push you down the mountain, and see if you are so lucky as to be able to take back everything that belongs to you! " Lin Sexi said with a smile.
"Aren't you afraid that the surveillance will record everything you do?" She strangled my neck a few times, I said hoarsely.
"From the moment you came to find me at the office, I've cut off all contact with the outside world! You should never have come to me alone! Furthermore, he shouldn't take advantage of Director Sheng when he was on a business trip! I've already planned everything out for Zhou Xiang! I've said it before, I'm waiting for you to come find me! " Lin Sexi said in a low voice.
She strangled me with red silk, then stuffed a wad of toilet paper into my mouth, then bound my hands and feet together and put them in a large cardboard box. After that, I fell into darkness.
I had a premonition that a huge plot had been laid out for me to jump into.
CHAPTER 258 - FALL INTO A TRAP
I waited in the darkness for a long time, but my mind was still clear.
Sheng Yun's office was very quiet. I could hear Lin Sexi flipping through the documents in her office.
I hadn't expected her to do it so blatantly.
Someone else knocked on the door, and she told me in my voice that I was talking to her about something important and that no one could come in.
I could hear all her movements clearly in the cardboard box, and to my surprise, she even mimicked my voice...
