Chapter 178 The White Moonlight Who Died Early in the Substitute Novel (15)
"But you're my substitute!" Canglan said innocently.
Jiang Ciyou instantly broke down, her face turning deathly pale as if she had been slapped hard across the face. She was speechless for a moment, but her eyes remained fixed on Cang Lan. However, she quickly regained her composure and retorted:
"So what if I'm a stand-in? Jin Xiu loves me for who I am, not because I resemble someone else! We've been through so many wonderful times together, don't try to negate everything about me with just those two words."
Immediately, Jiang Ciyou, with a hint of smugness on her face but feigning a pitiful look in her eyes, gently stroked the hand of the unconscious Pei Jinxiu and said:
"Miss Mu, please grant me and Jin Xiu our wish. Look, he's with me now. Even if you want to start over, you can't go back to the way things were. Why not let go and let us be together?"
Cang Lan looked at her like this and sneered inwardly: Pretending, I'll see how long you can keep up the act.
On the surface, however, he said with a "sincere" expression, "Miss Jiang, but this is not fair to you. Jin Xiu has always treated you as my substitute. What he is doing is too much."
This isn't love; it's clearly treating you like a dispensable object. This is an insult to you!
I heard he's the one keeping you as a mistress, sigh, I won't say anything more... but this is just too much... never mind, I won't say anything more!
Jiang Ciyou's face turned pale and then dark in turns. His hands unconsciously clenched into fists as he forced himself to calm down, forcing an awkward smile as he said:
"Miss Mu, you don't understand."
Maybe Jin Xiu initially saw me as a substitute for you, but I believe that after being together for so long, his feelings for me have changed, and he truly loves me.
As for being kept as a mistress, that was because my grandmother was sick and urgently needed money, and Jin Xiu was helping me!
Cang Lan's lips twitched slightly. This female lead is indeed the female lead. Her mind is different from others. She has a unique beauty with brainstem deficiency. Pei Jinxiu's taste is unusual!
Seeing this, Cang Lan simply decided not to continue playing the true love game with her, and said with a mocking expression: "Oh? I see, you love whoever is keeping you, or you just like using 'trash' that have been used before."
Oh dear, you should have said so earlier! It's not that I couldn't give Pei Jinxiu to you; there are plenty of men out there!
"But begging me won't help. The Pei family isn't a place you can just walk into. Why don't you go and win over Pei Yazhi first? Only after you've won her over will you have one foot in the door of the Pei family!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Cang Lan seemed to remember something, and exclaimed "Oh dear!" He took Jiang Ciyou's hand and said with a regretful expression, "I forgot to tell you, Miss Jiang, Pei Jinxiu proposed to me today, but I didn't accept."
I know I have to tell you this, because it's so unfair to you.
Alas, this is probably the tragedy of being a stand-in—forever living in someone else's shadow, without even realizing it.
And yet you so easily bet everything on a man who doesn't care about you at all. What do you think your sweet past with Jin Xiu proves?
In his heart, you are always just a substitute. As soon as I appear, you will be easily replaced.
Who knows, maybe one day he'll get tired of your similar face and find someone else in no time. What will you do then?
Hearing Cang Lan's gentle yet sharp words, Jiang Ciyou's anger was instantly ignited to its extreme.
Those words were like sharp blades, piercing straight into her heart. She was instantly enraged, her eyes turning red. No longer pretending to be pitiful, she pointed at Cang Lan and cursed, "Bitch! Bitch! I'll tear your mouth apart!"
Cang Lan still had a smile on his face, and when Jiang Ciyou's slap came, he quickly reached out and grabbed her hand.
Jiang Ciyou tried desperately to break free, but found that she couldn't budge Canglan at all.
Cang Lan smiled and said, "Miss Jiang, I'm doing this all for your own good. How can you take my kindness for granted? Think about it, if you keep stubbornly clinging to a man who doesn't have you in his heart, how miserable your future will be. I'm doing this for your own good."
Jiang Ciyou was so enraged that she went mad, waving her other hand to strike Cang Lan, roaring, "Let me go!"
However, Cang Lan's eyes turned cold instantly, and she slowly began to apply force to her hand. With a gentle twist, Jiang Ciyou's index finger made a crisp "crack" sound, and Jiang Ciyou screamed in pain.
But Canglan did not stop. Then, her middle finger, ring finger, and little finger also made a chilling snapping sound under her force. Jiang Ciyou's hand fell limply, and she collapsed to the ground in pain, her face full of fear and pain.
Jiang Ciyou let out a scream, a sound that was particularly piercing in the ward and could be heard by people in the hospital outside.
However, since this hospital was Pei's private hospital, naturally no one dared to openly discuss the boss's affairs; they could only whisper about it outside.
"Xiaorou, aren't you in charge of President Pei's ward? Hurry up and go in to check on him, what if something happens?"
All eyes immediately fell on Xiaorou.
Xiao Rou, the nurse who had just entered the ward to take Pei Jinxiu's temperature, immediately whispered, "You guys don't know, inside, it's probably the main character and the mistress fighting."
It seems that President Pei found a body double after Miss Mu went abroad. I just saw them; they don't look exactly alike, but they're at least seven or eight parts similar. President Mu's tastes... tsk tsk tsk, you know what I mean!
Another nurse chimed in, "That CEO Pei is such a jerk! He already has the real one, yet he still finds a substitute. Poor beauty!"
Xiao Rou added, "Oh dear, that mistress slapped me, and President Pei used the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms—neither of them are good people. It's just that this mistress knew she was a stand-in but was still so arrogant, and now she's even provoking the real person. She deserves to be taught a lesson."
"No matter how you look at it, we still don't know who's fighting whom inside! I really want to go in and take a look!"
"Then go!"
"You go!"
"You go!"
……
However, the next second, the ward door opened!
Jiang Ciyou shouted, "Help! Mu Si'an is hitting someone! Quick, help me!"
With lightning speed, Cang Lan grabbed Jiang Ciyou's hair from behind and pulled her head back. With a smile on her face, she said to the nurses outside the door who were eager to come in, "No need to call the doctor, you all know what I mean."
After saying that, he pulled hard and slammed the door shut.
The nurses outside the door immediately erupted in chaos.
"Beat the mistress! Beat the mistress!" a nurse exclaimed excitedly.
"Is Miss Mu really that strong? I thought she was unwell and wouldn't be able to win! I didn't expect her to be so powerful!"
“Yes, I didn’t expect Miss Mu to have such a temper. But if it were me, I wouldn’t be able to tolerate such an arrogant mistress either,” another nurse chimed in.
