Who gave you the illusion that you could replace her?
Xia Xi was still wondering who was calling her at this time, but she found out that it was the phone number of the colleague who had just handed her the coffee. She suddenly remembered that this person said that he was Mother He's man.
She didn't know why, but when that person's cold face flashed in her mind, she inexplicably panicked and had a bad premonition.
Xia Xi stared at the caller ID for a while and struggled, not knowing if she should pick it up or not. He Shaochen lightly said, "Are you not going to pick it up?"
"Thump!" Xia Xi's heart shook. She nervously looked at He Shaochen and dryly laughed, "He Shao, my brother is calling. Can I pick it up?"
"As you wish."
He Shaochen unhurriedly flipped through the menu and said without interest.
Xia Xi rejoiced that He Shaochen did not make things difficult for her. She grabbed the phone and asked the waiter, "May I ask which way to the bathroom?"
The waiter politely pointed the direction to Xia Xi. Xia Xi thanked him and hurriedly went to the bathroom.
When she reached the bathroom, she casually found a compartment and closed the door. She picked up the phone and her heartbeat quickened, "Hello?"
"Miss Xia, you're really arrogant. I've been calling you for so long and you're only picking up now." The voice on the other end of the phone was full of undisguised sarcasm, which made Xia Xi feel a little uncomfortable.
She took a deep breath and told herself not to argue with this person. She calmly said, "Since you're calling, then please help me tell Madam that my cooperation with her is canceled."
"Canceled?"
That person sneered in his heart. As he expected, this woman was unreliable. He asked in a deep voice, "Then you're going to tell He Shao about this matter? Or have you already told him? "
"I haven't told He Shao about this yet, but I'm going to tell him now because what you did was too despicable. Madam loves her son, but she shouldn't love him like this."
Xia Xi didn't know what kind of mother's love would make her secretly use an aphrodisiac on her own son. It was a refreshing experience for her. She shouldn't have no bottom line.
"Ah, it's not up to a little girl like you to comment on what Madam does!"
"I know. I'm just an ordinary citizen. I don't understand the way you rich people think. I'm very grateful to Madam for saving my brother. I'll repay her bit by bit in the future. So, this …"
"Miss Xia, are you determined to tell He Shao the truth?"
That person suddenly wanted to interrupt Xia Xi.
Xia Xi was stunned for a moment before she nodded. "Yes, I've made up my mind."
"Haha, it seems like you really don't care about your brother's life or death ~" That person laughed sinisterly. Xia Xi's heart suddenly tensed up. She tightened her grip on the phone and said nervously, "What do you mean? What about my brother? "
"Miss Xia, Madam hates people who don't keep their promises. Since you're willing to burn the bridge after crossing the river, we don't need to be merciful to you anymore. Since we've already laid our cards on the table, let's also lay our cards on the table. Your only value is that He Shao doesn't reject you and let you have a chance to get close to him. Otherwise, Madam wouldn't have looked for you. You can't give birth to He Shao's child and you're even planning to tell him the truth. This will undoubtedly cause Madam and He Shao to fall out. Since you're willing to do such a thing, we can make your brother disappear forever!"
"No! This has nothing to do with my brother! "
Xia Xi instantly panicked. She begged, "Don't do this! I was wrong. I won't tell He Shao the truth, okay? Please don't hurt my brother! "
"Hmph, how do we know that you won't tell He Shao the truth after rescuing your brother to take revenge on Madam?"
"I won't! Really! "
"Words are no proof!"
"Then how do you want me to prove it?" Xia Xi didn't know what to do. The person she cared about the most was her brother. This was her lifeline. Whoever held her lifeline would have complete control over her.
"You know what Madam wants the most."
What Mother He cared about the most now was an heir. Even Xia Xi knew this. Her heart began to sink. She struggled and said, "But He Shao doesn't love me at all. It's not easy to make him let down his guard. Besides, he loves his wife very much. I don't have a chance to get involved."
"Do you know why He Shao, who doesn't get close to women, likes you so much?"
"Why?" Xia Xi didn't understand.
After so many days, Xia Xi could see some differences. He Shaochen was cold to all women. She was the only one who could get close to him without being scared away by his cold aura.
He Shaochen did see some differences between her and other women.
"Because you have the shadow of his wife in you. Your temperaments are very similar, and your backgrounds are similar. This is probably the so-called love me, love my dog."
"Then you all know that he loves his wife very much. Why do you still want me to do this kind of thing?"
Xia Xi couldn't understand the logic of these people. If they wanted an heir, couldn't they just ask He Shaochen's wife to give birth? Why did they have to take such a big detour and do such a thankless thing?
The man's voice was cold. "This is not something you should ask. We will dress you up like Young Madam so that He Shao will let down his guard against you. When the time comes, you know what to do, right?"
"…"
Xia Xi felt hopeless. Was there really no way to resist?
Seeing that Xia Xi didn't say anything, the man's voice suddenly became cold. "It seems that you are still unwilling. Then we won't force you. But your brother …"
"I agree!"
At the mention of her brother, Xia Xi immediately made up her mind.
Although it was immoral, she could only sacrifice herself for her brother.
"Very good. We will arrange everything tomorrow. You should get ready."
With that, the man hung up.
Xia Xi heard the busy tone on the phone, and her heart sank bit by bit. She couldn't help but smile bitterly and murmured, "It's so good to be rich. You can manipulate the fate of others so casually …"
Xia Xi came here because she wanted to tell He Shaochen the truth, but she didn't know how to face this person at all. Thinking about what would happen tomorrow, she was so annoyed that she wanted to curse.
She tried to calm herself down, but her eyes still felt bitter. She rubbed her eyes, walked out of the bathroom, and walked in the direction of He Shaochen.
They were sitting by the window. He Shaochen's head was slightly tilted. He was dressed in a silver-gray suit with the top two buttons unbuttoned. His black eyes were like obsidian as he stared unblinkingly at the phone screen. He looked lazy and noble, exuding a noble aura that was different from ordinary people.
Under the soft light, the outline of his handsome face was deep and charming. Xia Xi couldn't help but admit that this man was really good to the extreme. The woman who could be loved by this person must be very happy.
And would she also be the woman who intervened in his life?
Xia Xi sighed and slowly walked towards He Shaochen. She put her hands by her side and said in a soft voice, "He Shaochen, sorry to keep you waiting."
He Shaochen seemed to have just noticed that Xia Xi had come over. He looked away from the phone screen and said lightly, "The dishes are all here. Let's eat."
"Oh, okay …"
Xia Xi sat back in her seat. Her heart was beating fast. Her almond eyes stared at He Shaochen. She didn't know if it was because she said that she would have sex with this man tomorrow, but looking at him now, he seemed a little different.
She felt a little embarrassed.
He Shaochen ate elegantly. His every movement revealed the elegance of an aristocrat. It was very pleasing to the eye.
Xia Xi realized for the first time that one could look so good while eating. She was a little dazed.
"You can say it now. What are you looking for me for?" He Shaochen asked lightly.
Xia Xi was stunned. She suddenly remembered the reason why she looked for him today. But because of Mother He, she couldn't say it. Her mind spun quickly and came up with an excuse. "He Shaochen, can I get my salary in advance?"
He Shaochen paused and looked at her with raised eyebrows.
At that moment, Xia Xi felt that she had been seen through by this man.
She lowered her head and didn't dare to look at him. She was afraid that he would see other emotions in her eyes.
After a long time.
He Shaochen said lightly, "I remember that you have a sick brother, right?"
"You still remember?" Xia Xi was stunned.
He Shaochen glanced at her. His eyes flashed with many emotions that Xia Xi couldn't see through. "My memory is not bad. I can remember most of what others have said."
Xia Xi was very embarrassed. She laughed dryly. "I thought that big bosses like you are all busy and don't care about what people like us say. Haha …"
"You looked for me because of this?"
"… Yes." Xia Xi shrunk her neck and looked at him submissively. She asked tentatively, "Then, can I get my salary in advance?"
"You think you are very outstanding? You are just an intern working for a few days. You want to get paid? "
He Shaochen's words were always so straightforward and merciless.
Xia Xi also thought that this was a long story. She had just thought of a random excuse. She sighed and shook her head. "I will think of another way …"
He Shaochen glanced at her and said, "Did I say that I won't give it to you?"
Xia Xi suddenly looked up and said in surprise, "He Shao, you …"
"Your learning ability is not bad. You have a lot of room for improvement. If you work hard, you will have a good future." He Shaochen lowered his eyes. His voice was calm and indifferent.
Xia Xi felt her heart suddenly beat faster. She felt a little warm and her face was a little hot.
This person was very strict at work. He would get angry at the slightest mistake. However, he also took the efforts of others seriously. This kind of unintentional words always made people feel more moved.
No wonder he had such a bad temper, but there was still a group of people who followed him wholeheartedly.
Xia Xi's nose was a little stuffed. It was the first time in her life that she was praised. It was impossible to say that she wasn't moved. Her eyes were slightly red and her voice was a little hoarse. She said, "He Shao, you are so good to me."
"Haha."
He Shaochen laughed lightly.
Just that laugh made Xia Xi's heart clench again. She took a deep breath and couldn't help but ask, "He Shao, you are so good to me. Is it really just because of work?"
"What do you mean?"
Xia Xi looked at him and whispered, "I heard some rumors that I am somewhat similar to your wife. Is it because of this that you have a special impression of me?"
"Yes, you are indeed quite similar to her in some ways."
He Shaochen actually admitted it without denying it.
Xia Xi blinked. It was as if she suddenly had more confidence to be unscrupulous. She didn't know where the courage came from, but she said, "He Shao, I know that your wife is the Queen of J Country. You two rarely see each other, right?"
"You know quite well."
"Well, if you don't mind, I don't mind being a substitute for your wife. When she isn't by your side, I can …"
Xia Xi's original intention was that since He Shaochen would inevitably be the father of her child, then it was reasonable for them to have a good relationship.
She didn't expect to occupy a very important position in He Shaochen's heart. As long as there was a place for him to remember that she was also the mother of his child, it would be good if he could give her some warmth.
Because He Shaochen's attitude was so good and he treated her so specially, Xia Xi dared to summon up the courage to say such words. However, before she finished speaking, she suddenly felt the temperature around her turn cold.
