To seduce her

Xia Yizhui stood there, his eyes filled with a mixture of disbelief and astonishment.

Is fate playing a joke on her?

Xia Yizhui blinked, as if trying to eliminate the illusion before his eyes, but shock surged in his heart.

She had never thought that there was someone who looked so much like her.

No, it was probably because he had never thought that she looked so similar to a woman.

Xia Yizhui's mind was a mess and for a moment he didn't know how to react.

This is... Gao Yuchuan’s wife?

Xia Yizhuo's throat slid up and down, and he could only watch the woman walk and stand in front of him.

Xia Yizu opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

Shen Yaochu walked in front of Xia Yizhuo, and their eyes met, both feeling a little awkward.

"Ms. Xia." Shen Yaochu curled her lips.

Xia Yizhui then realized that as a servant of the Gao family, it was inappropriate for her to let Mrs. Gao speak first to greet her.

Xia Yizhu nodded slightly: "Mrs. Gao."

Shen Yaochu pursed her lips slightly, and a hint of unnaturalness flashed across her eyes: "Just call me Yaochu."

Xia Yizhu didn't dare to say anything, but just called out again: "Mrs. Gao."

Xia Yizhu's hands twisted together unconsciously, her knuckles turning slightly white from the force. She tried hard to find a suitable expression to respond to this sudden encounter, but in the end she could only lower her head in embarrassment.

Xia Yizu's eyes flickered slightly as she stared blankly at the withered flowers on the ground.

She didn't know why Gao Yushan told her that Shen Yaochu had passed away and asked her to comfort him.

He clearly knew that Gao Yuchuan hated her...

Xia Yizhui's chest heaved up and down, and he was a little panicked.

Could it be... that as Gao Yuchuan said, he wanted to send him to Gao Yuchuan...

Xia Yizhu didn't dare to think about it further. She glanced at Shen Yaochu in panic and said, "Mrs. Gao, I have to continue tidying up the garden."

After saying that, Xia Yizhui didn't dare to look Shen Yaochu in the eye and turned away.

She was afraid that if she looked at her a few more times, she would lose control of her tears.

"Okay." Shen Yaochu's calm voice came to my ears.

Xia Yizhuo fled in panic.

……

Shen Yaochu looked at Xia Yizhui's fleeing back and did not take his eyes off her for a long time.

Until BoBo tugged at the corner of Shen Yaochu's clothes: "Mom, do we still have to watch her work?"

"No more." Shen Yaochu touched the two children's heads: "Where do you want to go to play?"

"Mom, I want to play on the slide!" said CiCi.

"Where is BoBo?" Shen Yaochu asked with his head down.

"I can go on the slide with my sister."

Old Mrs. Gao built a slide for them in the backyard so that the two children can play whenever they want.

CiCi climbed up and slid, having a lot of fun. Bobo sat next to Shen Yaochu, accompanying her quietly.

Shen Yaochu tilted her head to glance at BoBo, a relieved smile appearing at the corner of her lips.

Thinking of Xia Yizhui's panicked expression, Shen Yaochu's eyes darkened.

So Xia Yizhui should know that she is back, and also know why Gao Yuchuan's attitude towards her changed 180 degrees, right?

There is a huge difference between when Gao Yuchuan is nice to people and when he is mean to people. It makes people feel like they have fallen from heaven to hell. She can empathize with him.

Is that why she was so sad? Shen Yaochu thought.

But time cannot be reversed. Gao Yuchuan has already involved Xia Yizhuo, and no one can escape unscathed.

Shen Yaochu lowered her head and asked BoBo: "Bobao, I remember you guys had a pretty good relationship with that sister?"

BoBo looked up at her and shook his head: "At first we thought she was our mother, so we liked her. Later she said she wasn't, but she always made beautiful flowers for us, so we still liked her. But CiCi said she doesn't like her anymore."

"Huh? Why?" Shen Yaochu was a little surprised.

"Because that day, she was in Daddy's room taking care of Daddy." BoBo frowned, seeming a little conflicted: "She may have good intentions, but my sister said that there is a difference between men and women, and she doesn't like her in Daddy's room."

Shen Yaochu was stunned: "I thought you liked her because she is Dad's..."

New girlfriend.

Shen Yaochu choked up a little and didn't say anything.

"She's the florist at home. She can make beautiful bouquets." BoBo thought for a moment and said, "Mom, she really does look a bit like you. We made a mistake."

Shen Yaochu nodded: "Yes, it is very similar."

Because they looked so similar, she couldn't even blame Gao Yuchuan.

*****

----

Xia Yizhu worked frantically all day long.

The garden was filled with the faint fragrance of flowers and the freshness of soil, which had always been the most gentle comfort that nature had given her. But today, it was simply unable to dispel the lingering haze in her heart.

Once she stopped what she was doing, all those messy things came flooding in like a tide.

She appears to be working, but in fact she just wants to fill her mind with work and escape from reality.

But even if she kept doing it, those thoughts would still find a way into her mind.

She tried hard not to think, but the facts still unfolded slowly in her mind like a scroll, forming a whole line.

She is really similar to Shen Yaochu, her gestures, temperament, and even her facial features are somewhat similar.

And precisely because she looks like Shen Yaochu, Gao Yushan becomes her god sent down from the sky, rescues her, and raises her by his side.

Because he needed her face to deal with Gao Yuchuan.

Gao Yuchuan was right. Gao Yushan wanted to send her to Gao Yuchuan's bed.

Gao Yushan asked her to take care of Gao Yuchuan many times, all when Gao Yuchuan was drunk and unconscious.

When he was drunk, it was easy for him to treat her as his wife and do something out of line.

When Xia Yizhui thought of this, his heart ached.

To Gao Yushan, she was just a chess piece used to seduce Gao Yuchuan.

The reason for the failure was that Gao Yuchuan hated her and he knew very clearly who his wife was.

The sun was shining brightly the previous second, but the next moment, it was suddenly covered by dark clouds, blocking the sun and her heart.

"Click."

A tear fell, stroked the back of Xia Yizhuo's hand, and then fell into the soil under her feet.

With trembling hands, Xia Yizhu took out his cell phone and dialed Gao Yushan's number.

“Du, du, du…”

After three rings, the other party hung up.

Xia Yizhui closed her eyes in despair, tears streaming down her face.

She just wanted to call him to ask him one last question.

He said he "liked" her and always "loved" her so tenderly. Was it because she was useful and could be used as a chess piece?

still is……

Was he looking through her and being gentle to something he had never had?
