Marriage of a Sickly Villain and a Fortune Hunter - Chapter 19

===

The dinner party is approaching day by day, and people from all walks of life have begun to show their talents and build momentum to warm up.

Xia Xingchi flipped through Weibo, and the names of people on the trending searches were all familiar. He had already identified the people in the circle clearly in the past few days.

The original owner had already suffered enough for Xia Yu, and made countless enemies and black material everywhere. If there was another charge of deliberately pretending not to know people, being rude and playing big names, he would die unjustly.

Bored, he flipped through the pages, and casually clicked on a trending search for “#夏宇我喜欢Depending on hard work#”.

He is worthy of being a popular idol, and various marketing accounts and trolls overwhelmingly praised his character design of “he is clearly a wealthy young master, but he wants to keep a low profile and rely on his own efforts”.

Although fame is all due to spending money and resources from his family, and although he is so “low-key” that people all over the country know that he is a rich second generation, any doubts are sprayed by crazy fans and quickly disappear. Only Xia Yu is inspirational and unique. .

Xia Xingchi tilted his head, recalling the tragic ending of the original cannon fodder:

As the real rich young master, Xia’s parents forced the original owner not to reveal his identity, just to avoid affecting Xia Yu’s stardom.

So much so that until the original owner died, he was still infamous for the original sin of “suspected to be an illegitimate child of the Xia family”. Xia Yu, a fake who has taken over the magpie’s nest, has instead become a “poor” victim, a “real” wealthy son.

The original owner cowardly endured this grievance until his death, but Xia Xingchi really couldn’t bear it. Leaving aside other things for the time being, just talking about the importance of coffee position and reputation directly affects making money.

As the saying goes, blocking someone’s way of making money is like killing one’s parents, whoever dares to influence a small fortune fan’s promotion to stardom and make a lot of money, he must fight desperately on the spot.

.

“What’s going on here?” Xia Yu asked angrily, pointing to the dinner invitation list on his phone, “When did his name appear!”

In front of him was his ace manager, Feng Yingxu, who was also one of the very few people who knew the truth about his and Xia Xingchi’s identities.

Most of Xia Yu’s ingenious persona marketing came from Feng Yingxu’s handwriting, and Feng Yingxu naturally knew what he was anxious about.

Xia Xingchi has been vigorously suppressed not only for pleasure, but also because he must not be popular or appear in the public’s attention—

Otherwise, it would be difficult to hide the true and false young master.

“Don’t worry,” Feng Yingxu analyzed, “Even if this dinner is highly publicized, there are so many people on the red carpet every year, and no one has ever relied on this popularity.”

“But Xia Xing…!” Xia Yu was so angry that he opened his mouth but was suddenly speechless.

He wanted to say, “But Xia Xingchi looks so good, if people see him, he will definitely get hot.”

But he felt wrong, he clearly remembered that this person looked mediocre, very similar to his cheap father Xia Pingjian, rustic and strong, he could only be used as a foil in the entertainment industry.

It is precisely because of this that I “generously” helped him enter the circle, and won a good reputation for helping others in front of all relatives and friends. Anyway, Xia Xingchi’s ugly appearance can only be a trick for the rest of his life.

Xia Yu thought about it carefully again, but the appearance in his memory was instantly blurred, and then only the appearance of this handsome and bright young boy remained…as if he had always looked like this?

It’s just too good-looking to make people jealous.

“Then continue to buy his black materials and splash dirty water. His name can only be followed by Heisou! He must not be popular!” Xia Yu gritted his teeth.

Feng Yingxu didn’t agree this time, but hesitantly said: “Xiao Yu, it must be Mr. Li’s face that he made an exception to receive the invitation.”

The implication is that Xia Xingchi is likely to be favored by Li Chengyuan, so he can’t be touched anymore, otherwise, once he offends someone who can’t be provoked, no one can afford the consequences.

Xia Yu replied firmly: “Impossible!”

He paid special attention to the changes in Xia Xingchi’s resources after his engagement, but they were still pitifully scarce, and Li Chengyuan didn’t give him anything.

As long as he said hello to the company, he would not be idle at home without anyone paying attention.

Li Chengyuan must have just wanted to attend this dinner, and the organizer knew about their relationship, so they just brought Xia Xingchi as a bonus.

That kind of high-ranking, unfeeling lunatic can’t be tempted by anyone. Xia Yu gritted his teeth and comforted himself that it’s okay to lose the chance of marriage. Anyway, Li Chengyuan is as solid as ice, so it’s useless to follow him.

.

Although it is a fashionable “late” banquet, many people arrived early at noon. Not only can you carefully adjust the shape, but you can also make friends with big bosses who are not usually seen in all walks of life as early as possible, and you may meet some noble people.

Xia Xingchi was too bored at home, and wanted to go out for a long time. After staying at home for more than ten days, mushrooms would grow on his head one more day.

“Sister Mengmeng, what do you think!” He jumped out of the changing room, turned around in a circle, and excitedly showed off his achievements in wool gathering.

Lin Meng immediately gave a thumbs up in admiration, and praised without hesitation: “It’s really great!”

The tailoring of the white suit is extremely high-end, and under the light, there are luxurious but not tacky diamonds, especially against Xia Xingchi’s youthful temperament, making him look more upright and dazzling, like a noble young master.

At first, she was very worried that the vile old man who didn’t give any resources and prostituted her stupid brother would deal with it at will, but she didn’t expect that the clothes fit and looked good?

Although a small artist with only enough food and clothing can’t pursue the most luxurious new models to compete for beauty, but now at least he can be the most beautiful boy.

Lin Meng finally breathed a sigh of relief: “It seems that your benefactor has a good aesthetic, and it is still a bit reliable.”

The reason why it was only “a little bit” was because she was very angry just now – so rich and able to drive the world’s limited edition supercar, actually let Xia Xingchi come here by himself by bus? !

They are already living together, is it difficult to have a driver? She really wanted to ask where the amazing-looking driver brother was, but suddenly it occurred to her that the clothes were bought by pleasing the benefactor.

Therefore, Lin Meng’s rich imagination immediately made up the picture of Xia Xingchi making out with the gold master, while the driver could only look at him helplessly with a pale face, and then he was saddened by himself.

—My God, what human misery is this! What a nasty old man!

Lai Group Headquarters Building.

Li Chengyuan, who didn’t know that he “played two roles with one person”, was furiously reprimanding several bodyguards who couldn’t even look down on them, and let Xia Xingchi just leave the driver and slip away by himself.

Just as he wanted to confirm to the person in charge of the venue whether Xia Xingchi was there, he sneezed as if feeling something.

It just so happened that Dr. Zhao Yinhe pushed the door open and walked into his office. He raised his eyebrows freshly and asked, “Yo? It seems that someone scolded you behind your back?”

Li Chengyuan: “…”

Here, Lin Meng had enough of the sadistic love triangle, and began to look at Xia Xingchi’s clothes with satisfaction, but when she looked at them, she suddenly felt familiar.

“Wait a minute?” She hesitated and took out her mobile phone to search, “Why do I think this suit looks a bit like—”

On the screen, a new model from the season’s show of a certain luxury brand suddenly appeared.

Lin Meng gasped suddenly. She still remembered that Xia Xingchi called a few days ago and happily reported that the clothes problem had been solved, and the sponsor bought him a super beautiful and expensive set.

Buy… how rich and loving the patron is, that he can buy millions of high-end products at will?

Then there is only one truth. Thinking of this, she instantly turned into a famous painting: “Xingchi, we can’t wear high imitations on the red carpet. If we are seen by the brand, we will pay for it!”

Although the cutting is high-end and the details are exactly the same, but this highly anticipated top luxury new season may not wait for the brand to find out, and it will hit the genuine product as soon as you go out.

Xia Xingchi didn’t match this brain circuit, but he only heard the word “lose money”, and hurriedly asked in horror: “Why do we have to lose money?”

Facing his big dazed eyes, Lin Meng was at a loss for words. I really want to overthrow his benefactor and yell: How did you choose the clothes! My younger brother is ignorant, don’t you understand too?

The two looked at each other for a few seconds, Xia Xingchi finally understood the endless words, and quickly explained happily: “Don’t worry, Sister Mengmeng, this one of mine is genuine, and my sponsor is super rich.”

It’s good to be rich, one of the best in the country, and you can get so much wool in one go.

Unexpectedly, this sentence not only did not bring Lin Meng peace of mind, but made her even more sad and unbearable: It’s too much, how can an old man deceive a child who doesn’t know how to do it?

Not to mention millions, more importantly, even if you want to spend money, not everyone is qualified to buy it. Ordinary rich brands don’t even sell it.

But Xia Xingchi couldn’t be stripped of his nakedness now, and the brand would not come to sue, so Lin Meng could only comfort herself that there were too many lice and she was not afraid of being bitten.

.

As night fell, the outdoor red carpet extended all the way to the infield, with countless cameras erected on both sides.

Countless fans of each family excitedly stood outside the arena waiting for the right host, standing on both sides of the red carpet outside, shining with cheers of various colors.

The live broadcast is also ready. Although there is only the logo of the organizer of the dinner on the screen, the live broadcast is already full of long-awaited fans.

Relying on being so vague that no one knew him, Xia Xingchi was wandering around to pass the time, and at a glance he saw a face from the “popular idol Xia Yu” in the crowd—

Not only were his support lights overwhelming, the fans even practiced loudly how to shout slogans for a while.

As expected of the script, the protagonist is loved by the group, and can always be pampered and loved by everyone, and all evil deeds are justified and sympathetic and forgiven.

There are also family members who have lovers. If one day he is punished by heaven and killed by lightning, many people will surely shed tears for him.

Xia Xingchi blinked, helplessly thinking that he was hacked here, and he didn’t know how long it would take for someone to notice that he was missing. And if he disappeared from here, perhaps only Li Chengyuan would look for him.

The possible reason is that this person’s paranoid character does not allow anyone to escape his control.

Speaking of this terrifying desire to control, Xia Xingchi couldn’t help frowning:

Secretary Ye had just tipped off the news that it was said that he had slipped away to take the bus and was discovered. Li Chengyuan was quite angry. The atmosphere was so terrifying that everyone dared not even send the documents, and begged her to bring them in with them.

In the end, she came to a conclusion: Mr. Li is in a rage, you should coax him or stay away. The driver has already arrived, and it is estimated that Mr. Li will be at the dinner party soon.

Xia Xingchi was instantly dumbfounded after reading the news, Li Chengyuan is coming soon? ! Was he planning to go to the dinner party, or was he here angrily to arrest someone?

Conscience of heaven and earth, Xia Xingchi didn’t want to sneak away either.

But as a dark guy who could be made a fuss if he blinked a few more times, it would be enough to drink a pot if he was seen by a dedicated driver and a luxury car. What’s more outrageous is that there are four bodyguards trailing him?

A fashion dinner was organized like a prince’s outing, not to mention the black fans who disliked him anyway, even he himself thought it was just pretending to be a big name.

Who would have thought that it was actually his paranoid fiancé who was too controlling and always afraid of him running away for no reason?

Xia Xingchi suddenly didn’t dare to continue wandering around, so why not smooth Li Chengyuan’s hair before he arrives, and at the same time slip away and hide, lest he find his head and bite off his head angrily.

.

Li Chengyuan was sitting in the car, and someone’s news exploded like a cannonball, causing his cell phone to keep flashing:

【Dear Boss Li~ Are you happy today? Are you happy today? Are you satisfied today? 】

[By the way, is the love tea I brought you delicious? Chef Xia’s newly developed salty cheese baking soda cookies! 】

[Do you feel that the weather is good now? Don’t want to be angry at all? 】

Then I posted a favorite popular science article of the elderly, “The Disadvantages of Being Angry: Can Being Angry Really Infuriate People to Death? The 5 Dangers of Being Often Angry. After reading this, do you still dare to be angry!”

Li Chengyuan smiled softly, and looked up at the night sky outside the car window, apparently unable to see whether the weather was good or not.

Of course he knew why Xia Xingchi was chattering non-stop, but he only pretended to be angry and didn’t reply to his message indifferently, taking cookies from the little hedgehog patterned box.

The mellow cheese and milk flavor bloomed on the tip of his tongue, Li Chengyuan pursed his lips, seeing a hand stretched out quietly from the seat next to him, he also wanted to share a piece to taste the taste.

So he immediately closed the lid of the box with no expression on his face, and even the box was not touched by anyone.

Zhao Yinhe, who had the cheek to sit in the car, had no choice but to withdraw his hand angrily, rolled his eyes and said:

“You don’t even want to give me a biscuit, why are you so stingy! Look how delicious it is, seeing how you can’t put it down?”

After thinking about it, I asked again: “Didn’t you dislike these before? I heard that you ate them every day recently?”

It is true that Li Chengyuan is not very interested in any snacks, but he still eats the snacks carefully every day, and then puts the empty box back on the table.

So Xia Xingchi misunderstood that he had found the secret recipe of “following what he likes”, and excitedly and with a sense of accomplishment, he changed every day to make various flavors for him to eat.

Zhao Yinhe asked mysteriously in a low voice: “Could it be that you’re empathizing with someone else? It’s not your fault, after all, little Xia is really cute, but it’s a pity that he’s already engaged to you, otherwise I…”

Li Chengyuan immediately gave him a cold look, and the latter quickly shut up to express that he did not dare to speak.

After a pause of two seconds, Zhao Yinhe continued to yell: “Let me just say, if you can’t find it after searching for so many years, you should give up. There is no grass anywhere in the world, let you pick it—”

“it’s him.”

“Oh…ah?!” Zhao Yinhe was stunned immediately.

It’s not that Li Chengyuan was shocked because he actually found someone, but because Xia Xingchi is absolutely impossible to be the person he was looking for.

When the Xia family was on a business trip in a small town, the child who was less than nine months pregnant suddenly gave birth prematurely.

It was precisely because of this unexpected rush that the true young master “Xia Xingchi” was conspired to change his life by mistake, and finally stayed in that small city thousands of miles away from the capital.

However, although his life was tragic and impoverished, it was step-by-step and traceable. Li Chengyuan had never been to the capital when he was seven years old, so how could he be the person he was looking for?

Thinking of this, Zhao Yinhe didn’t know what to say for a long time.

He knew Li Chengyuan’s sensitive and meticulous character, and he must have investigated the other party’s life experience before getting engaged, and he should be more aware of the impossibility of this.

Then the reason why Li Chengyuan said that… Could it be that he was not only deceiving himself, but also using Xia Xingchi as a substitute? !

Zhao Yinhe felt that his three views were shattered in an instant. Where is the cycad tree blooming? This is simply the cycad tree growing crookedly and bearing poisonous fruit.

He immediately wanted to reprimand this kind of scumbag behavior, but when he turned his head, he found that Li Chengyuan’s eyes were filled with a faint smile when he spoke, and he put away the hostility that had always been difficult to dispel. This was an expression he had never shown before. .

—Forget it, the matter of the sweet young couple, I should hang up on it as nothing to do with myself.

After all, even if it was a stand-in, whether his so-called White Moonlight existed or not was still a mystery.

Now no one raised any doubts in front of him, but at that time little Li Chengyuan really paid a price and endured hardships in order to grit his teeth and insist on the existence of “him”.

It’s good for Li Chengyuan to be happy now, but to beat a mandarin duck with a club would be a great crime, what if he was condemned by God to be a single dog for the rest of his life?
