Substitute Wife: Mr. He, please sign the divorce

Chapter 52 The Consciousness of Being a Substitute

How could Du Manluo, a woman, be as strong as He Mingze? After arguing with him to no avail, she could only drag her tired body downstairs.

As soon as I reached the stairs, I met someone from the Du family.

"Dad." Her voice was weak.

Du Yan looked her up and down, his voice cold: "How did you get yourself into this state?"

"Not feeling well."

"Do you know what day it is today! I'm warning you, don't let me down today, and help me find a sense of presence around He Jiayu. For this Qingcheng project, you must find a way for me to get rid of He Jiayu.

Get something in your hand!"

Du Yan didn't feel sorry for his daughter at all, but instead scolded her.

At the banquet, Chu Huiyin could tell at a glance that Du Manluo, who was not far away, looked even worse.

Even though she applied lipstick, it still couldn't cover up her pale lip color.

In addition, Du Manluo looked unnatural today, and it was difficult for her not to notice.

Chu Huiyin tilted his head, leaned into the man's ear and lowered his voice: "Du Manluo seems to be feeling a little unwell, do you want to pay attention?"

He Jiayu frowned, not understanding why Chu Huiyin asked him to care about Du Manluo, but he subconsciously raised his eyes and took a look.

Du Manluo was still smiling and mingling with the people around him at the banquet. Naturally, some sharp-eyed people noticed something strange.

"Ms. Du, are you feeling unwell? Why do you feel so bad?" someone mentioned.

Du Manluo's smile suddenly rose, he touched his face pretending to be surprised, and asked: "Is there any? Maybe I didn't get a good rest yesterday."

Father Du said from the side: "Mr. Chen is worrying too much. Let's toast Mr. Chen a glass of wine and thank him for his concern."

Chu Huiyin was surprised in her heart that Father Du didn't feel sorry for his daughter at all. In just a short time, he had already commanded Du Manluo to toast many people.

Du Manluo had no complaints, forced a smile, raised his head and finished the toast in one gulp.

Chu Huiyin noticed the change in He Jiayu's mood and was about to speak to comfort him, but before she could speak, she was overtaken.

"Jiayu is now a big shot in Hengcheng. He is capable of taking over projects as big as Qingcheng. The future is immeasurable!" Du Yan calmly changed the topic to today's focus.

The people around him immediately pricked up their ears, each with their own thoughts.

The reason why they came to the banquet was largely because they wanted to get closer to He Jiayu and see if there was any opportunity to seek cooperation.

The Du family is also a big family, so naturally they will not miss this opportunity.

"Isn't that right! Or else it's better to be better than someone who's good at it!"

"Yes! Mr. He is young and promising!"

A steady stream of compliments came one after another.

"Xiaoman, you had such a good relationship with Jiayu before, you must have a toast with Jiayu this time," Du Yan said.

Du Manluo already looked embarrassed, but he still raised his hand to call the waiter and asked for another glass of wine.

"No need." He Jiayu stopped him.

Du Yan insisted on his opinion and said: "A toast is nothing, Jiayu, even if you don't sell Xiaoman's face, you still have to sell Uncle Du's face."

Chu Huiyin frowned. He really couldn't understand what Father Du was doing. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Du Manluo was not feeling well, but he still looked like a blind man.

He Jiayu's face suddenly darkened, the fists at his sides clenched quietly, and his eyes narrowed slightly.

When Chu Huiyin saw this, he immediately raised his glass and said considerately: "I drank this glass of wine for Miss Du, just as a favor to Uncle Du."

She was worried that He Jiayu would do something earth-shattering in order to protect his Bai Yueguang.

It would be more appropriate for her, Mrs. He, to come forward.

It is also her consciousness of being a substitute.

Du Yan smiled and said, "Miss Chu is really good at joking."

He glanced at Chu Huiyin with a hint of evil.

Chu Huiyin smiled lightly, beautifully and generously.

Du Yan twitched his lips and continued the topic: "Jiayu, do you have any plans for this Qingcheng project?"

He Jiayu suppressed the emotion in his eyes and said coldly: "We don't have any specific plans yet. Uncle Du has an idea?"

When Du Yan heard this, he thought it was a joke, laughed, and said, "Let Xiaoman tell you, she is fully responsible for this matter."

Chu Huiyin frowned subconsciously. How could she not know what Du Yan was thinking.

He used He Jiayu's feelings for Du Manluo to win over this business.

only……

Will he agree?

Chu Huiyin raised her eyes and looked at him, her heart tightening inexplicably.

Du Manluo raised his glass and said in a gentle tone: "Jiayu should know that the Du family's bidding documents were also taken over before. I hope we have the opportunity to cooperate."

Chu Huiyin saw that Du Manluo was holding back his discomfort and was about to take a sip of wine. He was about to speak to stop him, but before he could make a move, the air pressure of the man beside him had already dropped.

He Jiayu was the first to raise his head and finish the drink in one gulp, and said casually: "No need for the wine, I will consider it."

Chu Huiyin's eyes were full of complexity. She lowered her eyes, the smile still hanging on her face.

No one noticed any abnormality in her mood.

He Jiayu actually cared about Du Manluo very much in his heart. Even on such an important occasion, he couldn't bear to let her feel uncomfortable.

Du Manluo was a little embarrassed to hold the wine in the air, neither was it right to put it down, nor was he to put it down.

Chu Huiyin suddenly stumbled and almost lost his balance.

Fortunately, He Jiayu beside her quickly supported her and asked worriedly: "What's going on? Are you okay?"

Chu Huiyin pinched his forehead lightly and said with a look of discomfort on his face: "Maybe it was because I drank a little too much wine just now. I'm a little dizzy now and can't stand still."

"I'll take you to the room upstairs to rest." He Jiayu said.

Chu Huiyin patted the back of his hand, glanced at Du Manluo, and said, "Why don't you let Miss Du send me up? There must be work to discuss between you two."

After saying that, she walked to Du Manluo and rested her head on the woman's shoulder, looking drunk.

Du Manluo was confused and didn't understand what was going on with her.

The two of them were silent all the way. Chu Huiyin half-closed his eyes, feeling complicated in his heart.

She didn't know why, but whenever she thought that all He Jiayu's tenderness belonged to Du Manluo, it felt like a stone was pressing on her chest, causing pain.

"Were you rescuing me just now?"

Du Manluo's voice brought her thoughts back, Chu Huiyin opened her eyes, her eyes were clear and there was no trace of the hazy and drunken look in her eyes.

"It's good that you know." Chu Huiyin stretched and said casually.

"Thank you." Although Du Manluo didn't have a good impression of Chu Huiyin, she had just helped him.

"Little things."

It just so happened that she didn't want to deal with the people downstairs, so she wanted to find a chance to have some quiet time.

Chu Huiyin smiled and silently looked at Du Manluo's face, which was so similar to his own that he couldn't tell, and felt it was full of irony.

She had heard the story between He Jiayu and Du Manluo countless times from Du Qingluo's mouth, and occasionally felt sad for the two of them in her heart.
