LESSON

CHAPTER 201 - A DECISIVE DEPARTURE

Of course, didn't you also say that you two are truly in love? On the Yun Family's side, I hope that you can invite your parents to meet us. Lu Qin suddenly returned to the question that Yun Xi asked.

Yun Xi was startled for a moment, then suddenly understood Lu Qin's intention. She wanted him to explain to Yun Family what had happened, and to let him solve the scam she had given to Yun Family.

Okay, so it was still that Lu Qin, she had underestimated her.

Alright, since Auntie Lu has said so, I am relieved. I also believe that Auntie Lu will take care of everything in Tang Family.

The blade and sword shadows seemed to have made an invisible deal. They agreed to take care of their own problems and then form a 'perfect' family.

looked at the two women with a headache. He had a kind of bad premonition, it seemed that the Tang Family would become even more difficult to deal with them in the future. He hoped that Yun Xi and Tang Zeyu would be like before and would not stay in the Tang Family, otherwise he would not be able to deal with such a situation.

To a woman who had been living in the upper class for a long time, everything could be done through negotiation and trading. However, to Zhong Yunxi, this was not the case.

It was the first time she switched on the light in Tang Zeyu's room. They were all dark blue in color, just like Tang Zeyu's personality.

This was the room she had been in for three days. She was extremely familiar with the smell, but she had never touched anything here because she was afraid.

She was afraid that while she was rummaging through the books, she would see more of Tang Zeyu and Yun Xi's past and find out more about the sweetness between them. That would mean that their relationship was unshakable and that would be too cruel to herself.

Inside the silent room, neither of the two people said a word, the silence in the room was like someone who was about to suffocate. Zhong Yunxi took a deep breath with all her might, in order to restrain herself from trembling.

So you aren't Yun Xi, then why did you come here? Tang Zeyu felt that it wasn't easy to dispel the strange feeling he had when he was with Yun Xi, but now, it felt even stronger.

When he first saw her haggard appearance, his heart throbbed in pain. He wanted to ignore her, but he found that he couldn't. And now, all the scenes of him together with her rushed into his mind.

She had such an innocent smile on her face, took care of herself, and interacted with him bit by bit, but unfortunately, she was the fake Yun Xi.

In these three days, you were with her, right? She's Yun Xi, she's really similar. No wonder the Tang Family came to find me back then. Zhong Yunxi seemed to be asking another question, and also talking to herself, so she didn't wait for Tang Zeyu's answer and continued speaking.

But I've been here for the past three days and haven't taken a single step. Do you know that I've been waiting here the entire time for you to come back? I don't think you know? That's right, how would you know?

Zhong Yunxi turned around and looked straight into Tang Zeyu's eyes. Tang Zeyu's heart trembled because of her gaze, what kind of expression was that, it was filled with despair and heartbreak.

In your eyes, I should be a liar, deceiving you. I am Yun Xi, deceiving you to stay in Tang Family.

Isn't it? Tang Zeyu replied coldly.

Even if he had those strange feelings in his heart, they were all facts laid before his eyes. He had been deceived, and this strange feeling was only because he had yet to adapt to and accept these changes. After he adapted, all that was left was for him to loathe her.

This ice-cold reply was like a knife that stabbed into Zhong Yunxi's heart. She could feel that blood was flowing out, and indeed, she was this kind of person in his heart.

Yeah, I'm a liar, I'm a liar. Zhong Yunxi's tears fell as she retreated step by step.

So even if I tell you now, although my identity is fake, my feelings for you right now are real. Are you willing to believe it? Zhong Yunxi withstood the last bit of her persistence for love and finally expressed her feelings.

Whether your feelings for me are real or not is not important to me. I just want to tell you that my feelings for you are based on the fact that you are Yun Xi, so don't think about anything else. He had to make this person disappear from his life. He loved Yun Xi, this was the most certain fact that he could not lose Yun Xi when he finally returned to his side with great difficulty.

felt that he had fallen into hell, and in the end, he still said those words. All his care and care for him was only because he was Yun Xi's substitute.

So now, I should be leaving the Tang Family right?

Yes. If you still want anything else, I can give it to you as a reward for your hard work.

In return, Zhong Yunxi was really too familiar with this word, and it was also a business transaction. Why was it that her entire life was filled with transactions, yet only she herself treated such transactions as feelings.

Lu Qin told her to leave Tang Family, because she was not Yun Xi. She was only herself, grateful for Lu Qin's care, and the deep love she had for Tang Zeyu.

Zhong Yunxi's face was covered in tears, but she laughed while crying, her smile like shattered glass.

Okay, I will leave Tang Family, since I am only a substitute. Since the real master is here, it is time for me to leave, right? Zhong Yunxi walked to the side of the table and raised her left hand. The ring on the finger glittered because Tang Zeyu had helped her to put it on.

As if stripping an organ from his body, Zhong Yunxi slowly pulled out the ring that carried his body's temperature and put it down, watching the ring's flickering light dim little by little.

I'll return this ring to you. You can't accept my heart, so I'll give it back to myself.

When he turned around again, the look in Zhong Yunxi's eyes was no longer weak, but filled with determination. Since the words he said were already so clear, then there was no need for him to persevere any longer.

With firm steps and resolute eyes, when Zhong Yunxi passed by, she did not have a single bit of hesitation or nostalgia, so she would not see, at the moment she left, a certain someone reflexively reached out her hand, and her eyes that wavered.

The scent on her body was a perfume she had concocted herself. If one smelled it carefully, it was as if she had this smell too, even though he knew it was impossible.

Your parents will be very happy when they know you're back. In next month's Chamber of Commerce, you can show yourself again.

Regarding the meeting, please set a time with Ze Yu.

No problem. If that's the case, I might have to disturb the two of you recently.

Zhong Yunxi looked at the scene in front of her and the three of them spoke in a peaceful and beautiful manner. It was completely different from the smell of gunpowder just now.

But now, Lu Qin would never look at her like that again, she was no longer a member of this family.

Due to her appearance, the living room that was full of cheers and laughter fell silent for a moment. Yun Xi looked at Zhong Yunxi, and she was no longer as haggard as the person before.

Uncle Tang, Aunt Lu, I'm leaving. Thank you for taking care of me during this time. Zhong Yunxi bowed politely towards the two of them, I will bring my things back to the warm garden later to take them away. I won't disturb you in the future.

Yun Xi! Tang Sihan couldn't bear to call out her name, but as his gaze swept towards the Yun Xi at his side, he didn't know what he should say.

Zhong Yunxi did not stop because of his call, but instead walked towards the door. She did not want to stay here anymore, after living in her own home for twenty odd years, she had not felt such coldness or ruthlessness before. It turned out that the fact that she did not have any feelings for him had nothing to do with being rich or poor.

Yun Xi looked at the leaving figure in surprise. She actually left just like that? So clean? She had thought that she would cause a ruckus, that she would be unwilling, that he would do everything he could to stay, but she actually just left like that?

Furthermore, she had already left, but Tang Zeyu, who she had been talking to, had still not come out? Yun Xi was slightly worried in his heart.

And Lu Qin was also shocked by Zhong Yunxi's decisiveness.

Not long ago, Zhong Yunxi looked as if she was still in front of her, but she suddenly decided to leave? That kind of decision?

What exactly did Tang Zeyu say to make her give up without hesitation? Although she knew what Tang Zeyu thought of Yun Xi, he could do anything.

Furthermore, Zhong Yunxi, after suffering so much, actually treated her and the Tang Family with courtesy in the end. Such a broad-mindedness simply wasn't something that a small family could achieve, not to mention a family with such an uncultured background.

Yun Xi, let's go. Tang Zeyu walked into the living room with large strides, without any change in his expression.

Ze Yu, I have something to tell you, staying in the Tang Family today. Lu Qin immediately stopped her, she had to explain this matter.

If there's anything you want to say, wait until I return to the Tang Clan before saying it again. The day after tomorrow, I will return to the Tang Clan to work, and Zhong Yunxi's position will continue to be held by me. Tang Zeyu said without holding back.

No matter what Lu Qin did, no matter who made the decision, she would be the one in charge.

Yun Xi still wanted to say something, but in the next second, Tang Zeyu already ignored Lu Qin's ugly expression and pulled her out of the Tang Family, leaving behind the defeated Lu Qin.

Her originally elegant and tense body relaxed a little after Tang Zeyu left, and she suddenly felt weak. Maybe she could let Zhong Yunxi come and go as she pleased, or maybe she could deal with him using a trade method, or maybe she could make Tang Sihan and Qin Yaru feel sad without giving up the throne.

But to his son, everything she did seemed to be in vain. It was as if he could see through her. No matter how she tried to conceal it, he would know that she was the one who did it.

Ze Yu will know that everything you've done was for him. Tang Sihan couldn't bear to see her like this, so his comforting words actually leaked out just like that. Even Lu Qin was shocked as she looked at her.

Was he trying to comfort himself? Could she have heard wrong?

CHAPTER 202 - START OF TRUE OR FALSE SUBSTITUTION

Heh, so what if you know? Your own mother is a great liar who deceives himself. Even if you know, you can't be comforted by using the scheming women of others. Qin Yaru's sarcasm was like a lingering ghost, always appearing at the right time when Lu Qin was feeling embarrassed.

In my opinion, it's a waste of effort on someone's part. This is great, those who want to be chased out have not been chased out, those who want to stay, and those who want to be protected have not been protected. What a joke. Qin Yaru held onto the staircase railing, laughing until the petals were trembling, when she saw Lu Qin's ugly expression, she felt extremely satisfied.

Originally, Lu Qin's comforting heart was a little soft, but after hearing Qin Yaru's words, her face became even colder. From start to finish, this kind of family who only made fun of him was her own shame.

Mother Wu, prepare dinner, I will stay at home tonight! Lu Qin loudly ordered, causing Qin Yaru's laughter to stop as if electricity was cut.

Furthermore, he lived in the biggest and most important bedroom in this family. Normally, even if Tang Sihan wasn't living in the master bedroom, she wouldn't feel that way, but as long as Lu Qin was here, the scary people in the family would look at his with that kind of expression, as if he was their concubine.

What she was doing now was clearly her revenge! He had to completely chase this woman out of the Tang Family, only then would he be able to lift his eyebrows and feel proud.

Walking out of the Tang Family, although there was not much sunset left, it was still a little dazzling for Zhong Yunxi who had stayed in the darkness for three days. After turning right and leaving the big house of the Tang Family, she did not permit herself to look back.

When she came to this place, she was still in Young Madam, but now she had already become Zhong Yunxi.

What she needed to think about was where she should go tonight. She had nowhere else to go, and returning to the Zhong Family was a dead end for her right now. After all, to them, marrying into the Tang Family was the most valuable thing they had.

But now that she no longer had that value, what was the point in going back?

Without a Zhong Family, without a Tang Family, she had lived for so many years, and in the end, there was not even a place she could rely on. It was truly laughable.

Fortunately, I still have you. I hope that after you are born, you won't blame me for my decision. Gently touching her stomach, Zhong Yunxi muttered to herself.

His initial decision was correct. He did not tell Lu Qin and Tang Zeyu that she was pregnant. With the attitude they had towards him, it would be impossible for him to keep the child.

But now, what could she rely on to give this child a stable life and home? The current her didn't even know where to spend the coming night.

Not far from where she had left, a car roared out from Tang Family Mansion. It headed to the left and headed straight in the direction of warm garden.

Tang Zeyu's expression was not ice-cold. In Yun Xi's opinion, this was his expression that did not seem to be angry, but even though he was not angry, he had a different feeling. It was as if he was deliberately maintaining this matter, and was not angry.

Ze Yu, Aunt Lu also had her own difficulties. Maybe you were too depressed during that period of time, and she was afraid, that's why she did such a thing after meeting Miss Zhong Yunxi. I hope you can understand her. Yun Xi wisely said, in her opinion, there could only be one reason why Tang Zeyu was angry, and that was Lu Qin.

As for that Zhong Yunxi, looking at how quickly he talked and solved the problem, she knew that he probably didn't have any feelings for her. It was just a substitute of her own, what kind of feelings would Tang Zeyu have for her?

Miss Zhong Yunxi? You seem to respect her.

Yun Xi was startled, he did not expect Tang Zeyu to pay attention to this place, and in that instant, Yun Xi's previous confidence received a blow, he actually cares about her? It was a bad sign.

Yeah, although she took Tang Family's money, she has been taking care of you. Yun Xi laughed obediently, If it wasn't for her, you probably wouldn't have gotten up so quickly.

Money?

That's right, she signed a contract with Auntie Lu. The amount of money on her contract is something that she would never have in her entire life.

After hearing all those words, Tang Zeyu's initially maintained face turned ice-cold. So that was the case, she had only stayed by his side all this time because of money, so those tears just now, must have also been for this money.

If I were to tell you that my feelings for you are real, you wouldn't believe me, right?

Heh, not forgetting to play the love card at the very last moment in order to keep her. She really wasn't a simple woman. No wonder she could do such a thing together. The act was so perfect.

It was fortunate that he had given her the best answer, otherwise such a woman would be in endless trouble if she stayed by his side.

Also, I also heard from Auntie Lu that her parents asked Tang Family for a lot of money, and Auntie Lu agreed to it for your health. So, you shouldn't blame her, okay? As Yun Xi spoke bad things about Zhong Yunxi, he also said good things about Lu Qin.

Her meeting with Lu Qin today had already made her realize that Lu Qin was definitely on her side, so if she wanted to live a good life in the Tang Family, she had to build a good relationship with him.

Tang Zeyu did not say anything, he naturally knew that his mother was doing it for his own good. In the many years they had lived each other's lives in the Tang Family, everything she did was for the sake of each other.

Zhong Yunxi! As long as he thought about how everything she did to accompany him before was for the money, he could not help but feel infuriated. If Lu Qin did it for him, then this woman would be playing with him in her hands.

Of course, I know all of this. However, I am still angry about her finding someone to replace you. Tang Zeyu's tone was gentle, completely inconsistent with his ice-cold face.

I know, but now that I'm back, no one can separate us anymore, okay? Hearing Tang Zeyu's words, Yun Xi also revealed a relieved smile. Indeed, in Tang Zeyu's heart, he was the one and only.

Okay, no one will separate us anymore.

Swiftly rushing back to the warm garden, right after entering, Yun Xi sensitively discovered that there was something different about the warm garden. He had previously participated in the design and greening of this place, but it was no longer what it looked like in his memories.

This place seems a little different. Did she make it? Yun Xi asked casually.

Probably. After I recovered my memories, I actually don't remember what happened before. If you don't like it, I'll immediately have someone change it to the way you liked it. It really isn't looking good right now.

Sure.

It clearly went according to what he said, but Yun Xi was even more unsettled. Why did she feel that it was as if the current Tang Zeyu only needed to say something related to that woman to vent his anger?

But didn't it matter if he was angry? If he didn't care, then Tang Zeyu should hate and loathe the person who lied to him, and didn't even want to mention a single word about him.

Women were so sensitive. No matter how hard he tried to hide it, she could tell. If he hadn't been so sensitive all these years, he would have lost his life long ago to some fox spirit.

And this feeling, after discovering more and more traces of Zhong Yunxi, became Yun Xi's greatest motive to get rid of him.

Oh? Young master and madam, you've finally returned. I've been worried about you all every day. Liuma saw the two of them from afar and immediately welcomed them passionately. After taking care of Tang Zeyu for so many years, Liuma had long treated him as if he was his son.

Seeing Liuma running over from far away, Yun Xi frowned. In the past, Liuma wasn't this passionate when he saw her, and they had always hated each other.

But now Liuma had changed into this attitude. Seems like this was also due to Zhong Yunxi, this woman was not simple, in such a short period of time, she had managed to make everyone like her.

Just a moment ago in the Tang Family, although Lu Qin and Tang Sihan had treated her very well, when Zhong Yunxi had left, she had seen the deep feelings of reluctance on the part of the two. They knew full well that she was fake, but they had still gotten along well together.

Liuma, go prepare dinner. Make something that Yun Xi likes, don't cook anything from before. Tang Zeyu ordered coldly. He did not have the slightest response to the Liuma's enthusiasm.

This kind of Tang Zeyu had already forgotten how long it had been since he last saw him. What was going on with him? Hadn't they already turned from an ice mountain into sunlight? Why did they suddenly change back to a time where Yun Xi couldn't find them?

Yun Xi, what's wrong with him, did you guys quarrel again? Liuma affectionately pulled Yun Xi's hand and gossiped like a friend.

But this Yun Xi was not Zhong Yunxi, and immediately moved the hands of the Liuma as if it was a conditioned reflex, as this Zhong Yunxi broke all of the Tang Family's rules.

Liuma, that Yun Xi in the past was a fake Yun Xi, I am the real Yun Xi. From today onwards, she will not return to this place again.

Fake Yun Xi? What are you talking about? Why would there be a fake Yun Xi?

"I say, the Yun Xi that you got along well with earlier, was a fake Yun Xi. He was hired by Lu Qin and I am the original Yun Xi. Yun Xi did not want to explain too much to her, so he chased after the Tang Zeyu who had already gone in.

Liuma froze on the spot as if she was struck by lightning. Fake Yun Xi, real Yun Xi, what is this?

The woman who just entered was just too familiar, she was exactly the same as the Yun Xi from before. Just as she said, she was the real Yun Xi, then who was the person from before.

Who was she? Who was that person who had gotten along so well with him? Could it be that he would have to face this Yun Xi again in the future?

However, looking at Tang Zeyu's expression just now, he knew that something huge must have happened to turn out like this. Although she didn't know it yet, he could only resign himself to his fate and prepare for everything.

As Yun Xi walked, he looked at the courtyard which had changed quite a bit. He swore in his heart that he would completely expel all the things Zhong Yunxi had left behind from the Tang Family.

CHAPTER 203 - MAKE FALSE DISAPPEAR

Yun Xi, I'm a little tired, go take a bath first. I haven't touched your room. Tang Zeyu rubbed his forehead exhaustedly, and walked towards his own room alone. Although Zhong Yunxi had stayed here for the past few days, she had always been living in his own room, and it wasn't the same room as Yun Xi's room from before.

But because Yun Xi rarely slept in that room by himself, he didn't feel it was strange.

Alright, then take a good rest. We'll have a good rest tonight. Yun Xi did not press him too hard. She knew Tang Zeyu's character, it would be useless to press him too hard.

When Ze Yu was resting, he could also use that Liuma to investigate what kind of people Zhong Yunxi really was. From the looks of it, they seemed to be getting along well.

Watching Tang Zeyu enter the room, the smile on Yun Xi's face instantly disappeared. Today, she didn't know how much he cared about Zhong Yunxi's existence, but she couldn't say anything. He could only endure, showing that he didn't care in front of Tang Zeyu.

However, returning to the Tang Family was much easier than she had imagined. She had thought that Lu Qin would persevere longer, and now that she had regressed, she knew that Tang Zeyu was the one she cared the most about.

The flowers in the room weren't the flowers that he liked, they were the lilies. The perfume wasn't the flowers that he had used before, but a completely new one.

Everything here was what Zhong Yunxi liked, but she didn't like them either.

Liuma. Yun Xi said with a penetrating voice.

What's wrong? Liuma stood at the door, looking at Yun Xi with impatience and fear. His good days were ended all because of this woman, truly hateful.

Throw away all the lilies in the house, change your perfume, and do everything according to your original arrangement. He believed that Tang Zeyu would not object to his actions.

Why? These are all your favorites, and the lily was personally brought back by the young master. The image of the two of them falling the lily together was still vivid in his mind.

Liuma! Yun Xi immediately berated her, I already said, that's what that woman likes, not mine. Those were what I liked before, trade back.

The Liuma looked at her. She was so excited that she had forgotten about this matter. Right, she wasn't that Yun Xi anymore.

This warm garden belongs to young master, and can only be changed after Ze Yu's orders. The Liuma would not obediently listen to him. Since she was not the Yun Xi that he liked, there was no need for him to treat her well.

What I said was what Ze Yu had said. Yun Xi was a little angry. This Liuma actually wanted to help Zhong Yunxi?

Then I'll have to wait for Ze Yu to personally tell me. I still have to prepare food. Liuma closed the kitchen door proudly, she did not want to listen to her words.

Liuma! Yun Xi's sharp voice frightened the lilies beside his so much that they seemed to have withered a little.

She actually didn't even listen to what she had said, and even openly rebuked him, just to tell him that she was standing on Zhong Yunxi's side. Alright, tomorrow I'll definitely let her obediently take care of all of these things for me.

Suppressing his anger, Yun Xi went back to his own room. Yun Xi was startled, but this place had not changed at all.

When the hard and ruthless outer shell saw this, it suddenly felt like it had become gentle, caressing these things. Although it hadn't come back for a long time, there wasn't even a speck of dust here.

So it turned out that Tang Zeyu had never forgotten about him, and had always kept everything about him. It was probably because he was too concerned about him, that Lu Qin brought back an identical person, and was so anxious to believe that she was the one who did it.

This was not Tang Zeyu's fault, it was Lu Qin's fault, it was even more so the woman's fault. If not for her coveting for the Tang Family's wealth, he would not have stayed by Ze Yu's side.

Compared to Yun Xi's fury and Tang Zeyu's chaos, the emotions in Zhong Yunxi's mind at this time, had long been replaced by the state of existence in front of his eyes.

She tightened her coat. Although it was summer, the cold of the night still made her body shiver. She walked aimlessly, not knowing where she should go.

It was already that late at night, but she could only rely on walking to make herself feel less cold. If she was alone, then in such a situation, perhaps all she could think of was going to die. But now, she wouldn't, she didn't want to die.

It was because she had her own child. The heavens had given her the greatest miracle in her life when she was in the most desperate state, forcing her to try her best to live on.

Di! A sharp whistle sounded, causing Zhong Yunxi to immediately stop in her tracks. She looked up in fright, only to discover that she had walked in front of a car with her head lowered, and the person in the car was probably driving away, staring at his strange behavior.

Sorry, sorry. He bowed apologetically towards the car and moved to the other side, intending to leave.

But just then, the car door suddenly opened, and the person inside walked towards her with large strides. Zhong Yunxi was so shocked that she was unable to say anything, and instinctively took a step back: Sorry, I really didn't do it on purpose, I'm sorry.

He couldn't have broken something just now, right? He couldn't be asking for compensation, right? He couldn't afford it.

Yun Xi, why are you here! The man grabbed her with an anxious tone, his eyes filled with surprise and worry.

Why are you here alone? How did you become like this? What happened to you?

Faced with the man's string of questions, Zhong Yunxi was unable to speak. She searched her memory with all her might, why didn't she recognize this person? Who was he and why was she so concerned about her safety?

The man in front of him was tall and handsome, and he even had the air of a noble young master. Just look at his clothes and his car.

How could this kind of man be his friend? Moreover, the person he called Yun Xi.

You recognized the wrong person, my name is Zhong Yunxi, I'm not the person you're looking for. Zhong Yunxi's initially frightened face turned into an angry one that was enduring. Why didn't I know before that there were so many of Yun Xi's friends in this city?

Zhong Yunxi? The man repeated her name. Zhong Yunxi, wasn't the person in front of him Yun Xi?

Carefully sizing up her, only then did Gu Cheng realize that this girl seemed to really not be Yun Xi. Her eyes, were not Yun Xi's eyes.

But just as he was in a daze, Zhong Yunxi had already flung his hand away and left. She continued to move forward.

Gu Cheng turned his head to look at the figure of her back as he left. It was so thin, and it was obviously already late at night, yet she was walking along by himself in a daze, as if he had encountered some difficult matter.

The kind Gu Cheng was moved by the fact that he had a face that was extremely similar to Yun Xi's, so he decided to help her.

Zhong Yunxi staggered forward. Why, why is it that even though I have already left the Tang Family, everything related to Yun Xi is still bothering me!

But even if she wanted to hide, the car still followed her.

Where are you going? I'll take you. Get in the car. The man had rolled down the window.

Zhong Yunxi continued to walk forward as if she did not hear anything. She really hoped that she had the ability to teleport, and could shake off this person behind her.

I know you're not Yun Xi, I just wanted to help you. It's too dangerous at this time. Although Gu Cheng did not know who this girl was, he could still tell that she did not like being treated like Yun Xi.

The wasteland is right in front of us. If you keep walking, it will be very dangerous. If you have any place you want to go, I'll send you there.

Gu Cheng's sincere tone and appearance made Zhong Yunxi hesitate for a moment. Looking at the man in the carriage window, his eyes were so bright, he looked at without any trace of pollution.

He looked at the darkness in front of him. That's right, where did he go by walking like this? If he continued walking like this, he wouldn't be able to last much longer.

Can you send me somewhere? Zhong Yunxi finally compromise. For her own child, she should also take a good rest.

Of course, get in the car. Gu Cheng laughed, even if he couldn't find her, he hoped that he would be able to get help from others by helping someone who was similar to her.

Only after getting into the car with the cold air, did Zhong Yunxi feel that her four limbs had become stiff. The long walk and the cold had caused her to feel pain all over her body.

Seeing that she was curling up, Gu Cheng immediately closed the window and turned on the air conditioner, causing the temperature in the car to slowly rise.

Put this on and drink this. Gu Cheng took the blanket and the milk in the car that was always warm. Originally, it was prepared for his stomach to ache, but he didn't expect that it would have other uses at this time.

The warm air and soft blankets made it so that the warm milk slowly flowed into Zhong Yunxi's stomach. His pores felt like they were opening comfortably as she slowly drank the milk.

Sitting in a stranger's car with him was something that Zhong Yunxi would never have done in the past. However, at this moment, she did not feel awkward, but at ease.

His body slowly relaxed in the warm air, feeling slightly numb, he looked at the scenery flying outside and told Gu Cheng the address of his destination.

That was Li Xin's home address, no matter how she thought about it, she could only go there, she had no money and no phone, she could only try her luck.

Thank you, you're willing to give me a ride. After drinking the milk, Zhong Yunxi felt that the hungry and cold him could be considered to have true strength, and sincerely thanked the people around him. Even if he was Yun Xi's friend, she was still a person who pulled him out of her predicament.

It's alright. Actually, I have my own selfish motives as well. Gu Cheng smiled gently. He was even more certain that the girl beside him was not Yun Xi. Yun Xi would not speak in such a gentle manner, nor would he have such a timid look.

Selfishness? How could he make others have ulterior motives with his current state?

Yeah, I have a friend who looks a lot like you, but she's been missing for a long time. Gu Cheng sighed.

CHAPTER 204 - CLOUD'S FRIEND

Zhong Yunxi's heart was moved. She naturally knew that the person Gu Cheng was talking about was Yun Xi, and it turned out that he was also looking for Yun Xi. However, Yun Xi had only let the Tang Family know of her existence.

I don't know if she is still alive. If she is, I hope that the good things I've done can be repaid by her. Someone else is helping her.

She had never interacted with Yun Xi before, so she could only feel fear towards him. But now that she thought about it, she should be a very, very good person.

If it wasn't for that, there wouldn't be so many people who would miss her and love her.

Just like the man in front of her, who seemed so outstanding and deep in love, although he wished for nothing more than for Yun Xi, he still wished that the things he had done would be beneficial to her.

It was only because she was an extremely good person that Tang Zeyu had been so single-minded towards her, and had never given up on searching for her.

He will. You are such a good person, God knows how much you care about her, so he will definitely let her live. As for the fact that Yun Xi was still alive, it was better to let him slowly find out.

Zhong Yunxi's reply made the smile on Gu Cheng's face grow wider. Others would find it laughable, but this woman beside him actually followed his words and comforted him. He had really not seen such an innocent person in a long time.

How do you know I'm a good person? Maybe I'm just lying when I say this. I'll take you to a place you don't know.

The perfume in your car is so valuable that a liar might not be able to use it. Zhong Yunxi took in a deep breath. This ratio of perfume was really special, it did not seem like it could be used by ordinary people.

You even know how to recognize fragrance? It was as if Gu Cheng had discovered a new continent. Not only did this girl look similar to Yun Xi, she even had the ability to recognize fragrance.

Hmm, I've been sensitive to smell since I was young. Zhong Yunxi called out the names of the spices, the familiar things causing her to radiate with a confident light.

Wow, you really can smell it. Gu Cheng's eyes lit up. All of these things she mentioned were the core parts of her perfume bottle.

I'm fine. With a modest and bashful smile, Zhong Yunxi lifted her hand to straighten her hair, revealing a white face.

This kind of expression made Gu Cheng absent-minded for a moment, as if he saw Yun Xi, who was not even with that person, and she also had this kind of clean look.

It's over there. Just put me down there. It's really troublesome, thank you. Zhong Yunxi pointed to the small district in front of them. She saw the familiar door, and this was Li Xin's home.

It's already so late, how about I send you in? It's not safe either. Their similarities made Gu Cheng wish he could stay with her a little more.

No need, I'll go take a look first. I don't know if she's there or not.

Alright, I'll wait here for you. If you can't stay here, then I'll help you find a place to settle down. Seeing how embarrassed Zhong Yunxi was, Gu Cheng did not ask further, nor did he try to force the issue.

No need. Thank you very much. If we ever meet again, I will definitely thank you. I'll return this to you. Zhong Yunxi took off the blanket on her body. This person had already helped him a lot, so she couldn't keep troubling him.

This is for you. The weather is cold.

Well, thank you. Zhong Yunxi got off the carriage with a blanket draped over him. With this layer of protection, it really didn't seem to be that cold anymore.

Looking at her leaving, Gu Cheng was really reluctant. He turned on the light to illuminate the road ahead for her. Although being together for a short period of time was meaningless to others, to him, it was like a consolation he had been looking for for for such a long time.

Since he had already seen such a person, then it shouldn't be too far from finding Yun Xi.

Zhong Yunxi tightly wrapped the blanket on her body, and walked step by step towards Li Xin's home. Even though this was an old residential area, the things here were still good, and the light was still relatively bright.

But before she could reach the place, Zhong Yunxi stopped in her tracks. A familiar figure appeared in front of her, but he didn't run over and call for her as he usually did.

Sister-in-law? Why are you here? Tang Zehao looked at his sister-in-law in front of him. Her face was haggard and her clothes were messy.

Oh, I came to look for Li Xin, is she here? Zhong Yunxi said sourly, he still did not know that she was no longer his sister-in-law. Since that day, he had not returned to Tang Family.

Yes, she's at home. After Tang Zehao finished speaking, he looked at Zhong Yunxi somewhat awkwardly, the words that he wanted to say were stuck in his throat.

Alright, then I'll go up first. Zhong Yunxi also awkwardly laughed, she herself did not know what to say.

Eldest Sister-in-Law. Just as Zhong Yunxi was about to leave, Tang Zehao called out to her.

I hope you don't say what you said that day. Although my mother is a person from Tang Family who has no status, I don't want to hear someone insult her. Tang Zehao heaved a sigh of relief. He had wanted to say these words the entire time, but he had been unable to do so for so long.

However, Zhong Yunxi's face was filled with guilt when she heard these words. She had said those hurtful words that day because she was in a rush and her mood was simply too bad, which was why she said that.

Sorry, Ze Hao, it was my emotions that day that were too agitated. With regards to this little brother of his, Zhong Yunxi was grateful to him for bringing him happiness in the past.

Also, I am no longer your sister-in-law. We may never meet again. Let's bid our farewells here.

What do you mean? Sister-in-law, how could you not be my sister-in-law?" This time, Tang Zehao was stunned, what kind of words were these, wasn't he just someone who came out of Tang Family for two days?

You'll know about this when you get back to the Tang Family. In short, I thank you for being so good to me during this period of time. Zhong Yunxi laughed bitterly, how was she going to explain this to Tang Zehao in detail? It was really too strange. It was better not to talk about it.

Did something happen to you in the Tang Family? That's why you're here right now. [That's right, why is my reaction so slow? What the hell is going on? My sister-in-law appearing here is abnormal, but I didn't expect it.]

Ze Hao, go back. When you get back, you will understand everything, so stop asking me. I'm going up first.

Tang Zehao wanted to reach out and grab Zhong Yunxi, but he was still too late in the end.

This news was too sudden, it caught him off guard, he had to quickly go back to the Tang Family to ask, what exactly happened? Why did his sister-in-law suddenly say such a thing?

Tang Zeyu was so anxious that he did not notice the shocked gaze of someone who was not far away. It was unknown how long they had been staring at the two of them.

Gu Cheng watched as Tang Zehao left, his heart filled with shock. Wasn't this the Second Young Master of the Tang Family?

Back then, when he found out that Yun Xi was in love with Tang Zeyu, he had investigated the Tang Family and naturally found out about Tang Zehao's existence.

This old residential area didn't seem like the place where this young master would come from. He was actually talking to the girl he had just sent in. Apparently, they knew each other. If he hadn't misheard, he even heard the name 'elder sister-in-law'.

Tang Zehao's elder brother was Tang Zeyu, so shouldn't his elder sister-in-law be Yun Xi? The girl from before said that he was not Yun Xi, but they knew each other, what was going on!?

Could that person really be Yun Xi? But she was so different, and yet he didn't know him. It was all too confusing, and he had to get to the bottom of it.

Li Xin, who had just sent Tang Zehao away, jumped in fright when she heard the knock on the door, but when she saw the person outside, he was even more shocked.

Yunxi, why are you here? What are you doing at this time?

Let me in first. Let me enter first. She finally found a place where she could take in and relax. Zhong Yunxi felt tired, and it immediately filled up all of his nerves.

The door closed lightly, finally ending the ferocious exchange of identities. The distant sky was already suffused with a faint white light, and when the new day arrived, everything would be different.

When the sky started to brighten, Tang Zeyu looked at the rising sun bit by bit, with exhaustion and confusion in his eyes. It was the first time he doubted himself.

Zhong Yunxi, Yun Xi. These two names echoed in his mind for an entire night, and the scenes of him together with them appeared before his eyes one after another. The longer he stayed with them, the clearer it became, rather than causing chaos.

He could clearly see the difference between the two of them, but he didn't notice it before.

This room was the room that he had been living in ever since he had brought Zhong Yunxi here. There was too much of her presence and too many of the things she had left behind.

A bottle of pale pink perfume was in his hands, emitting rays of light while facing the slowly rising sun. This perfume was developed during the previous crisis, and the girl called Zhong Yunxi did not hesitate to faint.

This perfume brought the Tang Family through a crisis and gained better reputation. Naturally, they brought it back to the warm garden, but now, it was like a joke here, reminding him of his carelessness.

After spending so much time with a woman who was not Yun Xi at all, he did not notice that she was not Yun Xi at all. While he was spoiling and pampering this woman, his Yun Xi had suffered a lot in the outside world, and only he did not know, and she did not complain to him.

Even if she found out about her mistake, she wouldn't ask him about it. She would only return to her side calmly and enjoy life with her family. This beautiful Yun Xi almost left in disappointment because of his mistake.

Thinking about it like this, he was really too much of a bastard!

But that person, what kind of feelings did that person have for him? Was it love?

Heh, Tang Zeyu, what are you thinking? How could that kind of woman be love to you, she only has monetary benefits towards you, if you were a poor family's brat, would she help you with her identity? No, you think too much.

Finally standing up, as if he had made up his mind, Tang Zeyu threw the bottle of perfume in his hands into the trash can at the side. Then, without holding back, he walked straight towards the room Yun Xi was in.

That was his love, an inseparable part of his life. No one could replace it, no one could change it.

CHAPTER 205 - THE NEW OWNER OF THE WEDDING

Unlike Tang Zeyu who had not slept for the entire night, after returning to this familiar room, Yun Xi slept for a long time without a single good night's sleep when he discovered Tang Zeyu's intentions towards him.

Only when a wave of cold energy rushed in did she wake up from her dream. She saw her familiar face and smelled her familiar smell. This made her instantly feel at ease.

To be able to wake up in Tang Zeyu's arms like this, she had no idea how many times he had dreamed about it these past few days.

But now, all of this was no longer her dream but the truth. Her Tang Zeyu was finally no longer by her side, but by her side.

Ze Yu, why did you barge in? Yun Xi's voice was lazy. Even though he asked this question, he was like a cat, unwilling to let go of Tang Zeyu's neck.

How can I barge into my wife's room? Tang Zeyu tyrannically hugged her.

You didn't sleep well last night, did you? Yun Xi looked at his face with a pained expression, which was filled with exhaustion.

Mn, after thinking about it for a long time, I feel that I owe you too much. Yun Xi, I will repay you with my life. Tang Zeyu took Yun Xi's hand and kissed it.

How could you think that? I know that everything is not your fault, you just woke up, and you've been looking for me for so long, and that Miss Zhong, not to mention you, I feel like I'm looking at a mirror. It's too similar.

Hearing Yun Xi's words, Tang Zeyu's heart felt even more guilty. He had done so many wrong things, but Yun Xi still chose to think about everything for him.

Don't mention that woman anymore. I won't let her appear in front of you again. Tang Zeyu's tone was filled with annoyance, and when he thought about how he was played around by that person, he felt extremely frustrated.

Mm, I believe you. Yun Xi smiled brilliantly, she loved to see the look of Tang Zeyu, who hated that person the most.

You're going with me to the Tang clan tomorrow. Are you scared?

Of course I'm not afraid. Right now, the Tang Clan is also my home, right? Yun Xi looked at her deeply. In fact, she had to thank Zhong Yunxi and the sea disaster for paving a path for his so that he could smoothly enter the Tang Family.

But Ze Yu, there's one more thing I want to tell you.

What is it? Why are you in such a difficult situation?

I know, you and that Yun Xi have already held a wedding. Yun Xi wanted to say something but stopped in his tracks.

These words reminded Tang Zeyu, yes, he had already held a wedding ceremony, although it was held by Lu Qin at that time, it was already announced to the world.

It's alright. I was planning to hold a grand wedding on the island. The main character of the wedding will become you. Now that he thought about it, Tang Zeyu suddenly felt that the reason why he hastily arranged that wedding was probably to stabilize Zhong Yunxi's identity in the Tang Family.

Really? Can I still wear my wedding dress and be your bride? Yun Xi excitedly grabbed Tang Zeyu's hand. When he knew that the woman had replaced him to marry Tang Zeyu, she had always hated him so much that her teeth itched. The thing that she had always wanted was actually taken away by her.

Of course, only you can be my bride. No one else can.

Tang Zeyu's firm tone moved Yun Xi to kiss him. This was great, he could finally get married into the Tang Family.

So now we have the most important thing to do, and that is to return to the Yun Family. This time, he had to get the Yun Family's approval completely.

Alright, let's go back together.

Tang Zeyu embraced Yun Xi blissfully, and ignored his own random thoughts. Since everything had been settled, he would no longer care about those people he should not care about in the future.

As the sun rose, the sun illuminated the entire city, revealing a new day of life. In the old and quiet district, birds were chirping and the wind blew, waking everyone up.

On the wide open space, a group of elderly people were quietly playing tai chi. Occasionally, some of them would rush to school with their children or the office workers.

Zhong Yunxi looked down at the tranquil and peaceful place below him, and a smile even formed on her lips. Returning to days like this, it did not seem to make people sad, but more of it made people feel comfortable and at peace.

The food in the small pot in front of her was fragrant, delicious, and lightly stirred, as if this was the kind of life that she went through every day, rather than a rich lady who had just walked out of the richest family in the city.

Li Xin, you can eat now. Zhong Yunxi's clear voice, however, was completely unable to clear up Li Xin's mood.

Initially, she thought that Zhong Yunxi appearing at her doorstep in the middle of the night probably because of the argument, but everything that came out from Zhong Yunxi's mouth later on completely overturned her thoughts.

Li Xin, the truth is, I married into the Tang Family to replace someone's identity. She looks the same as me, and is called Yun Xi, so I never let you call me by my full name. I did it to hide my identity, and now that person has returned, I will also leave the Tang Family.

In Li Xin's mind, the Zhong Yunxi who had told her these words, was calmly looking at her with a calm expression without a single trace of sadness. It was as if she was telling a story from someone else.

Initially, she felt that it was weird for Zhong Yunxi to suddenly marry into such a family. She thought it was a love story similar to a fairy tale, but she didn't think that it would actually be this kind of process.

What are you thinking? You're not eating? Zhong Yunxi smiled as she looked at her.

Li Xin felt her heart ache. She had a lot of questions she wanted to ask this friend of hers who had always had a tough life, but the last thing she said last night was that she hoped that he wouldn't ask her anything.

Yun Xi, do you want to return to the Zhong Family? Although he couldn't force himself to do things in terms of relationships, he wouldn't be able to escape from family matters. Zhong Yunxi still had to face those vampire like family members.

Right. No matter if she continued or not, she would still meet with people from the Zhong Family in the end. She didn't know what kind of face she, who had no use for anything right now, would receive from them.

Yunxi, why don't we stop going back? Suddenly, Li Xin seemed to have thought of something, she rummaged for a book and said, This is the money that I have saved up, take this money and go to another city to live, okay?

Li Xin, what are you doing? That small passbook was like a piece of hot iron, burning her heart. She knew what kind of family Li Xin was, it was already good enough that she could live her own life here.

Yunxi, we've been friends for so many years. I know what that family is like to you. I really don't want you to go back. Taking advantage of this matter, leaving here is the best choice for you.

Leaving here is the best option for you.

Li Xin's words were like a compass, suddenly pointing towards Zhong Yunxi who did not know where to go. Previously, she had always been thinking whether she should return to the Zhong Family, or continue doing something here, but she had never thought of leaving.

That's right, why didn't she leave, leave the Tang Family, also leave the Zhong Family, and become her own person to live her own life.

However, all of this would have to wait until he settled the matters of the Zhong Family.

Even if I leave, I wouldn't take your money. With a friend like you, I really thank you, Li Xin.

But how can you leave without money?

There will be a way. Let me do it myself.

Actually, what could Zhong Yunxi do, no one in the city who was related to her would help her.

Dang, dang, dang! The intense knocking on the door startled the two. Before Li Xin could open the door, Tang Zehao barged in.

Eldest Sister-in-Law! She was still here. Luckily, she was still here. Otherwise, he wouldn't know where to look for her.

I've heard about the Tang Family, I really can't believe all of this. How could you not be my sister-in-law? How could you be the fake Yun Xi? Tang Zehao still could not wake up from the shocking fact. This must be a dream.

Since you already know, then believe it, all of this is real. I am indeed a fake Yun Xi, my name is Zhong Yunxi, the real Yun Xi is already with your brother now.

But, but what in the world is going on? When Qin Yaru told him about this matter, sshe was only so concerned with mocking and ridiculing Lu Qin, he simply did not understand what happened, which was why he came here.

Let Li Xin tell you, I want to go back to my own home, after I'm done with all of this, I will tell you.

Eldest Sister-in-Law! Why was she in such a hurry to leave the moment he arrived?

Of course he didn't know, Zhong Yunxi didn't want to see anyone related to Tang Zeyu. She didn't know how to face the sadness that would arise in his heart.

Don't call her. Li Xin stopped Tang Zehao from escaping. She knew that the person Zhong Yunxi did not want to see the most right now was someone from the Tang Family. Let me tell you all this. "

Zhong Yunxi left Li Xin's house in a hurry. Before she could even go to the Zhong Family, she met the person Lu Qin sent to fetch him.

Miss Zhong, please get on the carriage.

Young Madam, Miss Zhong, the way they addressed him changed really quickly.

No longer in a panic, Zhong Yunxi calmly got on the carriage and followed him to see Lu Qin.

warm garden

Tang Zeyu had originally planned to bring Yun Xi to meet the Yun Family, but he didn't expect that Yun Shaokang and his wife would actually leave the country. Since they weren't there, he would bring her to the Tang clan.

Why are you so happy? Tang Zeyu looked at Yun Xi who was humming a song as he put on makeup and couldn't help but laugh. He wouldn't be like this in the past.

It's been a long time since I've gone out with you like this. Before, I always followed you inside the Tang clan so I didn't feel that it was anything important. But now, I feel that it's really rare.

The more she spoke, the more guilty Tang Zeyu felt in his heart. He felt that he owed her too much.

"In the future, you will be staying at the Tang clan. Don't get tired
