Love in the Midst of Mistaken Identities

Chapter 868: Does It Look Like You?

Xia Yixuan only recently recalled Xia Ruoxin’s existence. Of course, she was not worried if Xia Ruoxin would die in that apartment. That woman was very strong and would not die no matter what. Even if she went there, she would probably be half-alive. Forget it, she should still send her on her way. The previous time, she did not drown to her death. This time, she must kill her; when she entered the shark’s stomach, even the navy could not find a single bone of hers.

She did her makeup in front of the mirror and posed a few times. Since young, that woman was just a green leaf used to complement her. Now that the flower had bloomed, she did not need the green leaf anymore; and the green leaf was now blocking her way.

As for the green leaf blocking the way, she only had one plan for her—break it off.

When no one was around, she walked to her apartment door and took her keys to open it. In the end—once she put her hand on the doorknob, the door opened.

She could not help but be taken aback, and she had unspeakable anxiety.

Bang! She closed the door and shut herself inside. At this time, her heart was beating irregularly. She felt around and extended her hand to turn on the light.

However, there was no one inside.

There was no one on the couch, no one on the floor, no one in the washroom... no one in the kitchen. She had searched everywhere, but there was no one at all.

Weakly, she collapsed onto the couch and was wondering why the person just disappeared. Could a person without legs just disappear for no reason? Even if she wanted to go out, she could only crawl. Indeed, she had guessed it right—Xia Ruoxin crawled her way out.

No, she could not let that woman live. She must not let Xia Ruoxin stay alive. If she said anything, she would be finished. Also, she regretted it very much. Why did she not directly throw her into the sea and made this mess? Now, she had to live in fear, and she was scared for a few days and could not energize herself. She just kept staring at Chu Lui’s surroundings as she was petrified that that woman would suddenly appear.

Until one day—when the helper in the house was keeping the newspapers, she then saw an article from a few days ago. The article reported that a woman was run over by a car until her face was unrecognizable, legs fractured. Up till now, no one had claimed the corpse.

In the newspaper, there was a blurred picture. It looked like Xia Ruoxin; her hair and height really looked like her.

Suddenly, she threw the paper away. Now, it seemed like she could really live her life without a worry.

It was good that she died. Good that she died.

“Yixuan, what are you looking at?” When Xia Mingzheng came down from the stairs, he saw Xia Yixuan in a daze and having a weird expression so he asked curiously.

“Nothing, Daddy.” Xia Yixuan ran over and hugged Xia Mingzheng’s arm. She whined, “Daddy, I’m going to the hospital later to see Auntie Song. Are you going to come, too?”

She needed to gain brownie points in front of the Chu family.

Even though she did bad things in the past, people did say that one could turn over a new leaf.

“But...” Xia Mingzheng glanced upstairs. “Your mother is alone upstairs. I’ll be worried.”

Mother? What mother?

Xia Yixuan pouted. She had long said before that Shen Yijun was not her mother. Her mother had died long ago, but she still remembered her identity and the things she needed to do. At the very least, she had to control her temper.

“Daddy, don’t worry.” Xia Yixuan pulled Xia Mingzheng and walked outside.

“The nanny and the helpers are still home. She’s an adult already; she won’t get lost. Besides, we’ll come back in a while. Also, Daddy, you haven’t seen Uncle Chu in a long time. Such a big thing happened in the Chu family; you should go and comfort him no matter what.

She did not say anything wrong, but Xia Mingzheng felt a bit embarrassed.

It seemed like a person like Chu Jiang did not really need anyone’s comfort. He could tolerate a lot more than an average person could. However, Xia Yixuan was not wrong in saying that as the two families had ties that went quite a long way back. No matter what, he really had to go visit her. These few years, the relationship between the families had hit the rocks so that should take this chance and fix it.

After they left, Shen Yijun then walked out of the house. On her sickly face, one could not see any color.

However, she smiled.

Yes, other than crying, she could only smile.

Coldly, she looked outside the window. Only Xia Mingzheng knew what Xia Yixuan was plotting. No, he should know, but he turned a blind eye towards it and waited for her to collect the fruits of her victory.

They were still harboring hopes for the Chu family. Just that, based on Chu Lui’s personality, would he want a woman like Xia Yixuan?

Besides, she did not believe in Xia Yixuan’s so-called love.

Xia Yixuan loved herself the most and did not love anyone else. She did not love Xia Mingzheng and, of course, did not love Chu Lui. It did surprise her a little that Chu Lui, who had lost everything, could still be attractive to her.

However, Shen Yijun did not know that she only guessed half of Xia Yixuan’s thoughts correctly.

If one had to say what kind of feelings Xia Yixuan had for Chu Lui, it might be love; but it definitely was not more than the love she had for herself. The reason why she did not let go was that she did not like Xia Ruoxin; whatever she could not have, she would not let anyone else have it. Secondly, she discovered that she really could not leave Chu Lui; the more he ignored her, the more she wanted to conquer him.

In this world, not only men could conquer women; women could do the same, too.

Now, the thing that Shen Yijun wanted to know the most was her daughter’s whereabouts. Where was her Xinxin, and where was her granddaughter—Rainy? When she walked over, the helper aside seemed so afraid that she would fall down and knock her head.

Shen Yijun went to the couch and picked up the newspaper Xia Yixuan was flipping through.

Young Girl Died in a Car Accident; Identity a Mystery

Piak! Her hand lost its grip, and the newspaper fell on the floor. There was also a large picture of the unknown female corpse with her badly mangled face, twisted limbs, and contorted facial expression.

Hurriedly, she turned away and started to hyperventilate. She felt that her heart was beating faster and faster; the faster it was, the more painful it got.

“Quick, take it away. Take it away!”

She kept yelling. Suddenly, she felt something churning in her stomach as she ran to the toilet to vomit.

...

“Look.” Lu Jinrong placed the newspaper in front of Xia Ruoxin.

“Does it look like you? I pulled quite a bit of connections to get her to look this way.”

It’s fake? Xia Ruoxin could not make a sound temporarily so she used her gaze to ask him.
