Substituting An Ugly Duckling As The Bride

Jin Mao cursed in his heart, ‘State officials are allowed to set fires while commoners aren’t allowed to light lanterns.’ On the other hand, he looked as though he was a happy lackey.

Chi Xiao crossed her arms and watched coldly as Jin Mao went over to make trouble.

As expected of a trusted aide who had followed Chi Xiao for four years, Jin Mao was extremely capable and smart. It didn’t take long for him to find someone from the Chi family, who was completely devoted to his wife, and who was about to sign the contract with Chi Rui.

He used Chi Rui’s name to invite the other party to Yun Shang Clubhouse, allowing him to witness Chi Rui’s ugly behavior.

Chi Rui was so shocked that he sobered up after hearing that the collaboration was over.

However, Chi Rui was despicable and shameless.

Even though he knew that it was his own fault, he still used the Mo family’s name to threaten the other party, even after pleading with no results. He didn’t even feel ashamed with what he said. He couldn’t be bothered to hide the smug look on his face.

The partner was so angry that he felt dizzy. He sneered and said, “Since that’s what you think, I’ll go ask the Mo family how they tolerate a treacherous person like you.”

His voice was sonorous and forceful, causing Chi Rui’s face to turn red.

It was not because he was ashamed, but because he was angry.

Chi Rui had lost a lot of face in front of his partners, so everything else naturally ended. Chi Xiao looked at Chi Rui’s bill with some regret. It was a pity that he had only spent tens of thousands of yuan.

Although Chi Xiao felt a little regretful, Yun Shang had never been in the business of trading by coercion, so she had no choice but to give up.

With nothing else to do, Chi Xiao prepared to leave. However, she bumped into Chi Ying, who was bringing her friends to the gathering.

“You guys don’t know that I originally didn’t want to come, but my father insisted on giving me Yun Shang’s card.”

“You guys don’t understand. My sister has liked Mo Ting since she was young. Now that she’s married to him, it’s a good deal.”

Chi Ying spared no effort to discredit Chi Xiao. “After all, my sister’s face…”

She suddenly stopped mid-sentence and stared blankly at the woman walking towards her from the corridor. The woman’s looks were so good that Chi Ying was intimidated. Her figure was enchanting and graceful, exactly the same as the ugly Chi Xiao.

Chi Ying was in a bad mood, so she wanted to go up and find trouble with this woman. So, she turned her body slightly and bumped into her.

Chi Ying felt the pain and took a few steps back before falling into the arms of a male classmate who had followed her.

“Ying Ying, are you alright?”

“Ying Ying, are you hurt?”

Her friends were all talking to Chi Ying and there were even people who wanted to punish Chi Xiao. After seeing her face, they gradually lost their temper.

Chi Xiao only took a few steps back before leaning against the wall and standing up straight. When she raised her head, she saw that the person who bumped into her was Chi Ying. Chi Xiao felt that she was not enjoying herself as she had just dealt with Chi Rui. Now, she had coincidentally bumped into Chi Ying.

Chi Xiao stood up and looked at Chi Ying casually.

Compared to Chi Xiao’s elegance, Chi Ying’s actions were indeed a little ugly. Chi Ying did not notice it as she leaned into the boy’s arms and said coquettishly, “It hurts so much. Thank goodness you held me up.”

The boy lowered his head and looked at Chi Ying coldly. Then, he silently took a step back.

Chi Ying, who was leaning on him, naturally could not stand. She lay down on the ground. This time, it was real. Chi Xiao felt extremely annoyed listening to the sound on the other end.

Chi Ying had lost face. She wanted to find someone to vent her anger on, but the boy’s family background was prominent and she could not offend him. Naturally, she could not get angry at him. All of her friends around her were either rich or noble.

Suddenly, a laugh reached Chi Ying’s ears.

Chi Ying looked over coldly. It was that extremely beautiful woman. She stood at the side and smiled with her eyes curved.

Chi Ying was furious and scolded angrily, “You’re still smiling? You knocked me down and you don’t even know how to say sorry? What kind of person are you? Didn’t your parents raise you?”

Chi Ying thought that she was scolding her fiercely. She was only waiting for the woman in front of her to get angry so she could say more things to her. However, as she waited and waited, she could only see the woman in front of her looking at her with a smile, as if she was looking at a clown.

Chi Ying was filled with hatred. She could not care less about her image. She opened her mouth and scolded, “You bitch. With such a seductive face, who do you want to seduce? Are you just waiting to be a mistress? You shameless thing.”

If it was in the past, Chi Ying would never be so brainless.

However, the woman in front of her had a figure and temperament that was too similar to Chi Xiao’s. Chi Ying even thought of Chi Xiao in the past.

In the past, when her mother was still Chi Rui’s mistress, Chi Ying had sneaked out to take a look. When she saw Chi Xiao giving a speech as the representative of the entire school, that beautiful face and that confident and generous temperament made Chi Ying’s heart itch, she then felt ashamed.

She could not compare to Chi Xiao.

Chi Ying knew this all along. However, Chi Ying was unwilling to admit that she was inferior to Chi Xiao.

She wanted the whole world to know that a legitimate daughter might not necessarily be that good, and an illegitimate daughter could also be very outstanding, just like in the case of her and Chi Xiao..
