After Transmigrating as a Tycoon’s Wife, My Thoughts Are Heard by the Whole Family

Chapter 185

"Hello," Han Ziyu greeted, her eyes brightening slightly when looking at Ji Fei, her tone lifting momentarily before suddenly seeming to realize something and immediately composing herself back into a gentle, obedient demeanor.

Han Ziyu had particularly beautiful peach blossom eyes; anyone who made eye contact with her could easily be captivated by them.

And Qi Li's former girlfriend, his "first love" Guo Yalan, had exactly the same kind of eyes.

Since Ji Fei had just met Han Ziyu, she began updating her gossip about paying to keep a "first love" substitute from Han Ziyu's perspective.

However, there was a small interlude.

[Oh, this college girl is actually my fan, not bad, she has good taste. No wonder she had that excited look when she saw me earlier. If we weren't at work right now, she probably would have rushed over for an autograph and photo.]

Qin Xian: At work...

Qin Xian wanted to hold his head in his hands.

Previously, regarding the gossip about Jing Yan, Qin Xian thought Ji Fei had revealed too little, leaving him confused.

But now, Qin Xian felt he had heard too much. He was embarrassed on behalf of his friend for doing something so foolish.

Hiring a young girl to be Guo Yalan's substitute - could any normal person do such a thing?

Qin Xian really couldn't understand Qi Li's thought process.

But he still remembered the scene when those two broke up...

[Hahaha, turns out the reason his "first love" dumped him was quite simple - she felt she couldn't maintain a long-distance relationship, her feelings had faded, and she wanted to try something new with foreign boyfriends. So she announced the breakup publicly, avoiding any reputation for cheating. This sister was decisive, hahaha.]

Qin Xian's mouth twitched. Guo Yalan was indeed free-spirited, and just as she said, she dated several foreign boyfriends afterward. She seemed to be living quite an exciting life abroad. Even someone like him who barely checks social media once a year could see her regularly updated posts whenever he did look.

[I wonder how colorful Qi Li's face was at that time.]

Qin Xian recalled - it was indeed quite multi-colored.

[Even though he was deeply infatuated with Guo Yalan, for the sake of his pride, he could only act tough and declare that if Guo Yalan left, he would never look back, telling her not to regret it. But she really left without looking back, not taking it seriously at all.]

Qin Xian: ...and before leaving, she even blew him a kiss and said: "Forget about me."

[Hohoho, at first Qi Li was still holding up appearances. When Guo Yalan got a boyfriend, he would get a girlfriend too, like he was trying to prove something, to show he didn't care and could live better. Really, did he think Guo Yalan, who left on her own accord, would care?]

Qin Xian: ...Why do I feel a bit sorry for Qi Li...

Actually, he was somewhat surprised. After all, Qi Li used to be quite the playboy, changing girlfriends quickly, with girls always falling head over heels for him. He even went through a philandering phase after breaking up with Guo Yalan. Who would have thought that in the end, Qi Li still couldn't forget Guo Yalan.

[Is this a case of the player finally meeting his match?]

Qin Xian: That might actually be true...

[Until recently when he happened to meet Han Ziyu working part-time, that's when he got the idea of keeping a substitute. He loves Guo Yalan but can't stand her personality, so he has Han Ziyu study Guo Yalan's videos to learn her behavior and speech patterns, but requires her to act gentle and obedient.]

Qin Xian frowned slightly, looking at his friend with disapproval. This behavior was hard to evaluate.

[This guy is really good at self-deception. If he can't reach the highest, he'll just modify one to suit himself?]

Qin Xian silently sighed. Fortunately, this Han Ziyu didn't have other intentions; it was just a mutually beneficial arrangement. Otherwise, it would have been truly harmful.

[Ah! I get it now. In this kind of situation, since he doesn't really see Han Ziyu as his girlfriend but still brought her along, he must be playing mind games. He wants to use this class reunion to get news back to Guo Yalan abroad. Wait, brother, do you really think you can use Han Ziyu to provoke Guo Yalan into coming back and create a drama of two women fighting over one man?]

Qin Xian: Huh?

[How childish can you get? It depends on whether both girls want to play along with your drama. I don't know about Guo Yalan, but Han Ziyu is about to quit anyway, hahaha. This guy... arrogant and overconfident. I really want to see his expression when Han Ziyu quits and Guo Yalan still doesn't come back.]

Ji Fei was frantically consuming this gossip in her mind. She could barely suppress her smile.

Especially when she saw Qi Li's imperious manner, treating Han Ziyu like his possession, she had to try even harder not to laugh.

Qin Xian, sitting next to Ji Fei, could feel her body shaking.

Meanwhile, Qin Xian just wanted to cover his face, embarrassed for Qi Li. His little scheme had been completely seen through by Ji Fei.

After Han Ziyu's greeting, Ji Fei kept looking back and forth between the two, her expression showing barely contained 'excitement'? It made Qi Li's skin crawl.

"What are you staring at?" Qi Li found Ji Fei's gaze unsettling.

Ji Fei smiled and said, "I've never seen such a pretty young lady, just want to look a bit more."

When Han Ziyu heard this, being praised by her idol, her eyes immediately lit up. "Teacher Ji is actually..."

Before Han Ziyu could finish, Qi Li, clearly displeased with her tone of joy that didn't match her assigned character, immediately raised his hand and pulled her into his embrace with a frown and a glare.

Couldn't this girl see that he disliked Ji Fei? Why was she being so friendly with her!

Han Ziyu stiffened for a moment before quickly playing along, staying docile.

Meanwhile, Qi Li spoke condescendingly, "Ji Fei, your taste is as terrible as ever. What's so pretty about her? If she hadn't desperately clung to me, acting like she couldn't live without me, I wouldn't have even given her the chance to be my date. Isn't that right..."

After speaking, Qi Li raised an eyebrow at Han Ziyu in his arms, prompting her to agree.

Han Ziyu nodded shyly and awkwardly, appearing just like a shameless woman chasing after a man.

But internally she couldn't help but think: Endure it, endure it. 500,000 yuan, I'm not myself, I'm now Guo Yalan 2.0. It doesn't matter if the boss is difficult, this is my job, I need to be professional. The orphanage reconstruction fund is almost there.

Qi Li was very satisfied with Han Ziyu's reaction, even thinking that she performed so well because she must have some genuine feelings. He felt that his words might have hurt her heart, but this hurt would also serve as a constant reminder for her not to forget her place.

Meanwhile, Ji Fei could no longer control herself and had to pinch her thigh hard to keep from laughing out loud.

[I must hold it in! Oh, Qi Li, Qi Li, is this what you fantasize about Guo Yalan doing? Desperately clinging to you, unable to live without you, while you look down on her... pfft pfft pfft, the more you act like this, the more it shows... sigh, you've become some kind of pure love warrior in your own way.]
