Stand-In Boyfriend Fu Zheng Ji

Chapter 487: Mom

People with integrity have always relied on their own efforts to earn the dignity and respect of being human.

Those who are used to taking advantage of the power of others will become addicted to false flattery.

In this way, once the person you rely on loses power, there is a high probability that you will become completely useless.

There is no other reason.

Laziness is the number one enemy in life.

Pity!
Li Xi, who lacks foresight, would never think that far ahead.

Therefore, they always feel complacent and enjoy the illusory glory brought by taking advantage of the power of others.

at this time.

Bie Shanliu still did not show any fear.

Instead, it directly exposed Li Xi's arrogant nature.

When people say that the lapdog is trying to please Li Xi, it’s not because of Li Xi as a person, but because of the old patriarch of the Li family who has always doted on her.

He even boldly predicted that a hundred years from now, the old patriarch of the Li family, Li Xi, would receive his retribution.

If Li Xi was a normal person, he would be so angry that he would jump up and down.

Or he might fight with Bie Shanliu to defend his dignity.

The fighting here naturally includes verbal and physical attacks.

However, Li Xi was doted on by the old patriarch to such an extent that it was impossible to understand him with normal thinking.

She did not take Bie Shanliu's sarcasm as an insult.

Instead, it was taken as a different kind of compliment.

What’s even more bizarre is that Li Xi really likes this kind of alternative praise.

That's why he was able to appear to be enjoying the show to the surprise of so many onlookers.

He also did not forget to say "thank you" to Bie Shanliu.

Li Xi's reaction puzzled the lapdog who had been fawning over her.

He foolishly tried to remind Li Xi of the fact that Bie Shanliu was mocking him.

Who would have guessed?

The pug did not wait for Li Xi to thank him for his kind reminder.

Nor did he see Li Xi teach Bie Shanliu, whom he disliked, a lesson for him.

Instead, he received an angry slap from Li Xi.

He angrily shouted at him to "get out of the way".

The anger and depression in the pug's heart!
But he was still forced by the family power behind Li Xi.

He could only endure the burning pain in his cheeks and continue to look worried.

While explaining that he didn't want Li Xi to hurt his hand, he slapped himself hard.

He intended to express his loyalty to Li Xi through self-mutilation.

Looking at the pug's words and actions, Li Xi couldn't help but smile proudly.

Among the onlookers present, except for Bie Shanliu, who snorted coldly and arrogantly, some people were surprised.

The vast majority of people just keep watching the show.

There are a very small number of people who also support the lapdog's statement in their own flattering way.

This also causes the Pug to not realize that there is anything wrong with his display of loyalty.

He continued to flatter Li Xi complacently.

at the same time.

Li Xiang fell into deep thought as he looked at the collected rumor documents.

He stood alone in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in his office.

I looked at the sky outside the window in a daze.

To put it bluntly, every time he encountered such a major incident, he did not have the authority to handle it on his own.

So he's waiting.

Wait until Zhen Li wants to send him a solution.

But this time the rumor involved Zhang Ling.

It is difficult for him to allow himself to stay out of things that do not concern him.

So he was already in a cool and comfortable air-conditioned room.

At this moment, it feels like being in a desert area with the sun shining brightly.

From time to time, he took out a tissue to wipe the sweat from his face.

In less than half an hour, the wastebasket next to the desk was filled with the paper towels he threw out.

This time, the real Li Xiang seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth.

Could not be contacted by any means.

Even Muzi, the housekeeper who was closest to the real Li Xiang, could not be contacted.

"What happened?"

Concern leads to chaos.

The feeling of uneasiness in Li Xiang's heart became more and more intense.

When people face things that do not follow normal rules.

I always have random thoughts subconsciously.

Especially when you are in an extremely unfavorable situation.

It is very easy to do something that puts yourself in a more disadvantageous position.

I wonder when Shangguan Aoxue appeared beside him?
He did not say the words to expel Shangguan Aoxue in time.

It also gave Shangguan Aoxue the opportunity to take advantage of it and commit inappropriate behavior.

That is like his close lover.

She took the initiative to stand behind him and put her arms around her waist.

The softness and warmth of her back made his eyes glow with enjoyment.

Especially when the warmth of your breath brushes past your ears.

A similar relationship between him and Zhang Ling instantly emerged in his mind.

It also caused his brain to mistakenly believe that the person behind him was Zhang Ling.

So he stroked the other person's hand with his own hand, and tilted his head to try to put his face close to the other person's face.

I tried to feel Zhang Ling's temperature, humidity, and smooth touch up close.

No coincidence!
I guess Shangguan Aoxue has never been able to figure out Li Xiang's preferences.

So she smelled of her perfume as strong as usual.

Li Xiang's brain actually remained clear for a short time and he asked, "Ling'er, have you changed your perfume?"

Shangguan Aoxue, who didn't know the answer to the question, thought she was smart and replied "hmm".

This made Li Xiang realize instantly that he had recognized the wrong person.

Because he clearly remembered that Zhang Ling had given a clear answer to the question about perfume.

It is said that perfume is a commodity that is used by capitalists to plunder wealth.

In other words, who spent a lot of money on the perfume?

Then the other party is a fool!

So Zhang Ling will never be a fool in her life.

From this we can see that the person who gave the affirmative answer must not be Zhang Ling.

Apart from Zhang Ling, which other woman could appear behind him quietly and do the above actions?

The answer is obvious without much thought.

"That's not right. Shangguan Aoxue, I know it's you. Please don't do this! Let me go. It will be bad for you if someone sees this."

When Shangguan Aoxue heard this, her body trembled slightly and she said "I" at the same time.

After a few seconds of pause, he quickly calmed down and answered:

"I don't care. You know me. I like you. I really just want to be with you."

……

now!

What Li Xiang didn't know was that Li Xi had arranged for someone to install a camera in his office long ago.

The only purpose is to capture a video of the intimate interaction between Shangguan Aoxue and Li Xiang.

Then Li Xi forwarded the video to Zhang Ling.

I want to see with my own eyes how angry Zhang Ling will be when she finds out that Li Xiang has betrayed her.

It's just that some plans can't keep up with the changes.

As soon as he received the video, an irrepressible smile flashed across Li Xi's face.

This made the pug mistakenly believe that the flattery he had just given had worked.

He was just about to say a few more words that he thought Li Xi would like to hear.

Just after he finished saying "Miss Xi, you are the most beautiful and kindhearted person", a slap sounded and his face instantly felt hot and painful again. Perhaps it was because his face was swollen from the previous slap.

His eyes were filled with tears.

If you are serious, take a closer look.

You will definitely feel the other person's grievance.

Little did he know that Li Xi was definitely not the kind of person who would take a second look at something seriously.

You have to know that in Li Xi's creed, "she may not even look twice at rich people, let alone look twice at those she thinks are poor."

As for the phrase "a beautiful person with a kind heart", it is more like irony.

This made the pug couldn't help but offer a self-deprecating smile on his face.

This proves that dogs have always been spiritual creatures.

From then on, a strong hatred towards Li Xi arose deep in the pug's heart.

He was even secretly planning to return today's humiliation to Li Xi a thousand times one day.

Although this fantasy has no effect on Li Xi for the time being.

But for the Pug, it is also a path that forces himself to climb to the top of life.

In other words, it makes the Pug feel from the bottom of his heart that he has a goal (hope) in life.

Just when Li Xi received the video.

She had just been kicked out of the room and was temporarily unable to share the video so that she could see with her own eyes what Zhang Ling looked like after she learned the truth.

Just thinking about it for a few seconds can make you feel extremely refreshed.

But fantasy is always fantasy.

Reality is always cruel.

She was unable to put her fantasy into action at the moment.

Moreover, he was entangled by the pug and couldn't get away for a while.

How to do?
In the past, she would have used her power to break into that door again.

But if she hadn't thought about her promise to be the 'military advisor'.

Today, she had to restrain herself at all costs to maintain her noble image as the most pampered grandchild of the Li family.

I'm afraid Li Xi would have been furious a long time ago, and let the pug learn a lesson. What are the consequences of angering her?
I guess she has never felt so aggrieved before.

So she was thinking from the bottom of her heart that today's matter should be concluded satisfactorily.

It must have completely released the pent-up emotions in my heart at this moment.

As for the target of release, it was the pug in front of him who had no eyesight at all.

No wonder the military advisor was able to make the usually arrogant Li Xi obey him.

That really means that there is something like Guo Jia's plan for everything.

Because Li Xi instantly recalled the military advisor's instructions before leaving.

Said that if she unexpectedly cannot continue to implement the plan as agreed.

Then open the secret bag he gave her.

Very interesting!

What era is this?

The military advisor actually showed some of the spirit of the ancients and played a "magic trick".

Li Xi is not too stupid!
At this moment, she was still thinking about avoiding everyone.

A rather commanding rebuke made the pug stop bothering her temporarily.

Then, find a quiet corner nearby and carefully check the treasure bag you carry with you.

When she saw what the brocade bag said, she was stunned.

I couldn't help but feel puzzled and subconsciously muttered, "How is this possible?"

Then he felt a little more admiration for the military advisor's ability.

Because the person the military advisor asked her to find for help turned out to be the general manager of the group where Zhang Ling worked.

However, with Li Xi's bullying mind, she would never think about why the general manager would help her?
So I quickly went to look for the general manager with a natural attitude.

Let’s not talk about whether the general manager will really respond to every request as the tip says.

But Li Xi still scared away the onlookers who blocked his way and left with his domineering attitude as usual.

at the same time.

After the annoying Li Xi left, the old lady's kindness towards Zhang Ling became even stronger.

For example, pick up some of Zhang Ling’s favorite food, hand her a cup of water when she chokes, etc.

Almost every move was filled with love.

That love was both familiar and unfamiliar to Zhang Ling.

The familiarity comes from the enviable maternal love that I have seen many times among my neighbors.

Strange, of course, her reason told her that it was impossible for the old lady to show her the pure maternal love.

In other words, the old lady's maternal love for her has a certain purpose.

Even with this opportunity, the sensitive Zhang Ling was willing to enjoy this brief moment like a spring breeze.

It can only be for a while.

Because she felt that when facing the old lady.

If you can't wake up quickly.

There is a risk of being sold out and having to count money for the other party.

No matter how trustworthy the person in front of you looks.

It is also necessary to have this basic sense of self-protection.

So she forced herself to wake up and explained with an awkward smile:
"I'm sorry, old lady. I just thought of something and was a little rude. I didn't hear what you said clearly. If it's convenient, could you say it again?"

The old lady had just expressed her love for Zhang Ling.

There was indeed a request from her that she should recognize Zhang Ling as her goddaughter.

Now I hear Zhang Ling say these words again.

The self-blame that had accumulated for many years surged up in her uneasy heart.

Zhang Ling, who is strong-willed, lacked maternal love since childhood.

My yearning for maternal love has long been erased from my heart.

That's why he pretended to be deaf and dumb and didn't want to acknowledge her as his godmother.

She looked at Zhang Ling with sparkling eyes, the corners of her mouth trembled a few times, and she forced herself to show a bitter smile and said:

"No, no, Lingling, no, did I say anything to you just now?"

Zhang Ling looked at the old lady suspiciously and just nodded, but she hadn't yet uttered the complete "hmm" sound.

Then the old lady continued:

"Oh, I'm old. I can't stop talking all day. My brain is not good. I can't remember what I just said. What should I do?"

Zhang Ling's eyes were clearly filled with doubt as she asked:

"Madam, you seem to be nervous. I don't understand what you are nervous about?"

The old lady laughed bitterly again and said:

"Am I nervous?"

Without waiting for Zhang Ling to confirm, she said "Look", looked around and shook her head, saying:

"This is my exclusive space. Everything here belongs to me. I'm inviting you to dine with me in my own place. Tell me, what should I be nervous about?"

Zhang Ling clearly felt that the old lady was trying to change the subject on purpose.

But because everything the old lady stated was true.

So Zhang Ling thought that the feeling she had was just an illusion of doubt.

There was silence for a while.

Maybe the old lady cares too much about Zhang Ling from the bottom of her heart.

So I couldn't help but tentatively call out "Zhang Ling".

I wanted to change the topic and chat about some family matters.

For example, interesting things that happen between Zhang Ling and her father in daily life.

But Zhang Ling seemed to have figured it out.

To be precise, Zhang Ling wanted a mother who loved her from the bottom of her heart.

Therefore, the desire to recognize the old lady as his mother became stronger and stronger.

Without waiting for the old lady to speak.

Zhang Ling was the first to speak and asked with some excitement:
"May I?"

The old lady didn't react for a while and asked:

"what?"

Zhang Ling explained in detail:
"I mean, can I really call you mom?"

The old lady was stunned for a moment, then she smiled excitedly like a child, and then, fearing that Zhang Ling would regret it, she hurried forward, took her hand, and nodded enthusiastically, saying:
"Quick, quick, call mom quickly so I can hear you!"
