Substitute Wife: Mr. He, please sign the divorce

Chapter 52 Self-awareness as a stand-in

Du Manluo is a woman, how could he compare to He Mingze just now, after arguing with him to no avail, she could only drag her tired body downstairs.

As soon as he reached the stairs, he ran into someone from the Du family.

"Dad." Her voice was weak.

Du Yan looked her up and down, his voice indifferent: "Why did you make yourself like this?"

"Physical discomfort."

"Do you know what day it is today! Let me warn you, don't let me lose the chain today, and give me a sense of presence by He Jiayu's side. For this Qingcheng project, you must find a way for me to learn from He Jiayu. Get something in your hand!"

Du Yan didn't feel sorry for his daughter at all, instead he scolded her.

At the banquet, Chu Huiyin could tell at a glance that Du Manluo's complexion not far away was getting worse.

Even though she wore lipstick, it still couldn't cover her pale lips.

Coupled with Du Manluo's unnatural expression today, it was hard for her not to notice.

Chu Huiyin tilted her head, leaned close to the man's ear and lowered her voice, "Du Manluo seems to be feeling unwell, do you want to take care of it?"

He Jiayu frowned, not understanding why Chu Huiyin asked herself to care about Du Manluo, but subconsciously raised her eyes and took a look.

At the banquet, Du Manluo still dealt with the people around him with a smile on his face, and naturally, some sharp-eyed people could see the strangeness.

"Is Miss Du feeling unwell? Why do you feel so pale?" Someone mentioned.

Du Manluo smiled suddenly, touched his face pretending to be surprised, and asked, "Is there any? Maybe I didn't have a good rest yesterday."

Father Du said from the side: "Mr. Chen is too worried, quickly give Mr. Chen a toast, and thank Mr. Chen for his concern."

Chu Huiyin was surprised that Du's father didn't feel sorry for his daughter at all. It's only been a while, and he has already directed Du Manluo to toast many people.

Without any complaints, Du Manluo forced a smile and finished his toast with his head raised.

Chu Huiyin noticed the change in He Jiayu's mood, and was about to speak to comfort him, but before she could speak, she was preempted.

"Jiayu is now a big shot in Hengcheng. He is capable of taking over a project as big as Qingcheng. The future is immeasurable!" Du Yan calmly changed the topic to today's focus.

The people around him immediately pricked up their ears, each thinking.

A large part of the reason why they came to the banquet was to get closer to He Jiayu and see if there was any chance to seek cooperation.

The Du family is also a big family, so naturally they will not let this opportunity pass by.

"That's right! How about saying that blue is better than blue!"

"That's right! Mr. He is young and promising!"

There was a constant stream of compliments.

"Xiaoman, you had such a good relationship with Jiayu before, this time you must toast to Jiayu." Du Yan said.

Du Manluo had already looked embarrassed, but he still raised his hand to call the waiter and ordered another glass of wine.

"No need." He Jiayu stopped.

Du Yan insisted on his own opinion, and said: "What's the point of toasting wine, Jiayu, even if you don't want to show off Xiaoman's face, you have to show off Uncle Du's face."

Chu Huiyin frowned. She really couldn't understand Father Du's operation. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that Du Manluo was not feeling well now, but he was still blind.

He Jiayu's face suddenly darkened, his fists beside him were quietly clenched, and his eyes narrowed slightly.

Seeing this, Chu Huiyin immediately raised her glass, and said empathetically, "I drank this glass of wine for Ms. Du, so I will sell Uncle Du's face."

She was worried that He Jiayu would do something earth-shattering in order to protect his white moonlight.

It would be more appropriate for her, Mrs. He, to come forward.

It is also her self-awareness as a stand-in.

Du Yan smiled and said, "Miss Chu really knows how to joke."

He glanced at Chu Huiyin with a look of displeasure.

Chu Huiyin smiled lightly, beautiful and generous.

Du Yan twitched the corners of his lips, and continued the topic just now: "Jiayu, do you have any plans for this project in Qingcheng?"

He Jiayu suppressed the emotions in his eyes, and said coldly: "I don't have any specific plans yet, but Uncle Du has an idea?"

As soon as Du Yan thought it was a joke, he laughed and said, "Let Xiaoman tell you, she is fully responsible for this matter."

Chu Huiyin frowned subconsciously, how could she not know what Du Yan was thinking.

He used He Jiayu's feelings for Du Manluo to win the deal.

only……

Will he agree?
Chu Huiyin raised his eyes and looked at him, his heart tightened inexplicably.

Du Manluo raised his glass and spoke softly, "Jiayu should know that the Du family's bidding documents were also taken over before. I hope we have the opportunity to cooperate."

Seeing that Du Manluo was holding back his discomfort and was about to have a sip of wine, Chu Huiyin just wanted to stop him, but before he could move, the air pressure of the man beside him had already dropped.

He Jiayu was the first to finish the drink in one sip, and said casually, "You don't need the wine, I will think about it."

Chu Huiyin's eyes were full of complexity, she lowered her eyes, the smile still hung on her face.

No one noticed her abnormal mood.

In fact, He Jiayu still cared about Du Manluo very much in his heart, even on such an important occasion, he couldn't bear to let her suffer.

Du Manluo was a little embarrassed to hold the wine in the air.

Chu Huiyin staggered suddenly and almost lost his footing.

Fortunately, He Jiayu who was beside her quickly supported her, and said worriedly, "What's going on? Are you okay?"

Chu Huiyin pinched the forehead lightly, showing discomfort and said: "Maybe it's because I drank the glass of wine a little too hard just now. I'm a little dizzy now, and I can't stand still."

"I'll take you upstairs to the room to rest." He Jiayu said.

Chu Huiyin patted the back of his hand, glanced at Du Manluo, and said, "Why don't you let Ms. Du take me up there, you must have work to discuss."

After finishing speaking, she walked to Du Manluo's side on her own, leaning her head on the woman's shoulder, looking drunk.

Du Manluo was at a loss, unable to understand what was going on with her.

The two were silent all the way, Chu Huiyin half closed her eyes, her heart was complicated.

I don't know why, but when she thinks that all of He Jiayu's tenderness belongs to Du Manluo, it feels like a stone is pressed on her chest, which hurts sharply.

"Were you trying to save me just now?"

Du Manluo's voice pulled her back from her thoughts, and Chu Huiyin opened her eyes, their eyes were clear, and she didn't look like she was drunk just now.

"It's good that you know." Chu Huiyin stretched and said casually.

"Thank you." Although Du Manluo didn't like Chu Huiyin very much, she helped him just now.

"no big deal."

It just so happened that she didn't want to deal with those people downstairs, so she took a chance to quiet down by the way.

Chu Huiyin smiled, and silently looked at Du Manluo's face that was so similar to her that she couldn't tell, feeling full of sarcasm.

She had heard the story between He Jiayu and Du Manluo from Du Qingluo countless times, and occasionally felt sorry for the two of them in her heart.
