Chapter 16 Substitute

"What are you talking about?"

Hearing Pei Xiao's voice, Chen Xi's body froze instantly.

He quickly turned his head and showed a standard smile, with a generous demeanor.

"My feet still hurt a little. Come and take a look. I happened to come and see Su Yan."

Her explanation made sense.

But knowing her as well as Pei Xiao, he naturally knew what kind of calculation she had in mind.

"Please don't come near Su Yan again."

The polite and distant words made Shen Xi feel that this time she truly felt like an outsider.

The hand holding the handle of the bag unconsciously exerted force, holding back the tears that burst out of his eyes, and quietly looked at the increasingly unfamiliar man in front of him.

"These are the supplements I bought for you, remember to take them."

He walked around Shen Xi and put what he was carrying on the bedside table.

Looking at the half-eaten porridge, I felt a little dissatisfied.

"Why did you only drink half of the porridge?"

Then, as if he thought of something, he turned around and asked.

"You don't like drinking?"

The words were somewhat ambiguous, and Shen Xi really didn't want to hear any more, so she stepped on her high heels and left with all her strength.

Until the sound of high heels disappeared in the corridor, Su Yan still felt a little puzzled.

Shen Xi and Pei Xiao do seem to be a talented and beautiful couple.

Now that she has returned to China, the two of them should be together by then.

But looking at the two people's actions just now, it doesn't seem like that's the case.

"Thank you. I will eat well, get better soon, and complete the transaction as soon as possible."

She really couldn't say anything about serving him, but she was indeed grateful for all he had done for her.

Pei Xiao wanted to say something else, but a message came on his phone. He turned it off and left the ward.

Finally having some quiet time to herself, she opened the book she had just finished halfway and continued reading.

But I found that no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't get into it.

She simply closed the book and threw it aside, then picked up her cell phone and looked through the address book.

Thinking about the fact that I haven’t contacted my best friend for a while, I can take this opportunity to relax.

"Jin Shu?"

"Damn girl! You still knew how to call me, I thought you were about to forget me!"

It happened to be the quarterly summary recently, and Yuan Jinshu was very busy.

Although she knew something like that happened at Su Yan's house, she couldn't do anything to help her and could only follow along and worry.

"I'm in the hospital now, would you like to come and see me?"

"What’s wrong with you?"

Yuan Jinshu on the phone was very anxious. He immediately put down everything he was doing and hurried over with his bag on his back.

"Yanyan!"

She was startled when she saw Shen Xiaoyun, who had just woken up, lying on the bed next to her.

I thought their family was being persecuted by bad guys!

"I'm fine. I just had a fever from the rain last night. My mother was a little irritated, but she's fine now."

After hearing this, Yuan Jinshu felt relieved a little.

"I'll take you home."

Su Yan nodded. She didn't want to be bored in the hospital.

After completing the discharge procedures, with the help of Yuan Jinshu, he took Shen Xiaoyun back home.

"My house is a bit messy, don't mind."

The already cramped room was littered with books and some small furniture, giving it a messy appearance.

"It doesn't matter, help Auntie into the room quickly."

The two helped Shen Xiaoyun back to the room and watched her sleep before slowly exiting.

Yuan Jinshu took the initiative to help her tidy up the room, and Su Yan also tidied it up silently.

It wasn't until nightfall that the two of them had the house almost in order.

In order to express his gratitude, Su Yan offered to treat him.

"Let's go, I'll treat you to dinner."

"Then I can blackmail you!"

Although he said that, when he arrived at the commercial street downstairs, Yuan Jinshu still chose the cheapest fast food.

"I've wanted to eat this for a long time, come on!"

Looking at her happy back, Su Yan felt sad and grateful at the same time.

Following her pace, the two of them sat in the fast food restaurant together.

While waiting after ordering, Su Yan couldn't help but talk about Pei Xiao.

"Thank you for your hard work."

Knowing that Su Yan had suffered so much, Yuan Jinshu held her hand and his eyes filled with tears.

"It would be great if I could rescue my father. I won't suffer at all."

The things that had been weighing on her chest finally came out, and her tears were about to burst.

"Before you came, that Miss Shen came to see me."

"What is she here for?"

Originally, Su Yan was tortured to death by Su Qi and his daughter, but now there is another one named Shen Xi.

She obviously can't control her man, so what does it have to do with Su Yan!

"Let me, the substitute, give way."

When she said this, a wry smile appeared on her lips.

The deal between the two had already made her feel extremely humiliated.

Shen Xi's words were like an invisible whip, leaving her completely bruised.

"Shen Xi, right ... "

Yuan Jinshu took out his mobile phone and searched for Shen Xi's photos.

Looking left and right, there is nothing similar between the two.

"You two look nothing alike and have different personalities. How could you be a substitute?"

"I think so."

After taking the last sip of the drink and getting the affirmation from her best friend, Su Yan finally felt relieved.

"It's getting late, you should go back and rest. I've called a taxi myself."

A car was parked at the door. Yuan Jinshu shook his cell phone and said goodbye to Su Yan with a smile.

Su Yan packed some light food and put it on the table when he got home. Then he went into the bathroom to wash away his tiredness and snuggled into his own bed.

She opened her phone and started using recruitment apps, applying to several training schools in succession.

As a result, before I even finished introducing myself, I received an embarrassed message from the other party.

It seems that because of Su Luo, all the training schools in Yuncheng have blacklisted him.

She can only switch to another industry.

I randomly sent out more than a dozen resumes, but only one small company responded to me for a design position, and it was a group post.

But this is her last chance, and she must give it her all.

The next morning, she dressed herself up and brought her resume to the agreed location.

There were few people in the entire office building, and there were a lot of papers and office supplies scattered on the ground.

I took the shaky elevator to the designated floor, and finally there was a sense of work.

The receptionist kept her phone in her hand, and her eyes asked who she was.

"Hello, my name is Su Yan, and I have an interview scheduled for this morning."

The receptionist answered the call while pointing in a direction with her pen.

"Thanks."

Following the direction she pointed, Su Yan searched and searched, and finally found a man playing with his mobile phone inside the door with the word "Human Resources" written on it.

Su Yan bent his fingers and knocked gently on the door.

"Hello, I'm here for an interview, here's my resume."

Sitting opposite the man, she handed over the documents she had prepared with both hands.
