Chapter 259: Chapter 259: The Real and Fake Fiancees Meet
That night, Su Zhaozhao was once again thoroughly ravished by Xie Huaizheng.
Fortunately, she had no classes the next morning, allowing Su Zhaozhao to sleep in. She didn’t head over to the military district’s elementary school to teach until the afternoon.
「Meanwhile.」
Shu Xue still hadn’t given up on finding Xie Huaizheng. She hadn’t left. After dinner the previous evening, Shu Xue had gone to stay at the guest house.
Xiao Yuanming had wanted to send her home, but Shu Xue refused. In the end, there was nothing he could do but report the matter to Xie Huaizheng.
When Xie Huaizheng heard, his expression was cold. "Then let her stay."
He felt, however, that he should tell Su Zhaozhao about this.
Originally, Xie Huaizheng thought he could send Shu Xue back that same evening, but he never expected she would refuse to go.
Since she was unwilling to leave, they couldn’t force her.
Xie Huaizheng couldn’t help but furrow his brow. They would just have to wait for her to give up on her own.
He hadn’t expected the girl to be so bold; her thinking could be described as unbelievably audacious.
She clearly knew he was married and deeply loved his wife, yet she still insisted he was her fiancé.
Hmph...
Xie Huaizheng scoffed. ’Let’s see, then, if she’ll be quick to give up hope.’
After settling into the guest house, Shu Xue went to the military residential compound the next morning.
She remembered Aunt Huang telling her that they lived in the compound.
She had mentioned it casually at the time, which meant Shu Xue could meet that woman here.
The woman who stole her identity and her man!
Shu Xue frowned, a deep sense of displeasure welling up inside her.
’By what right?’
’What right does Su Zhaozhao have?’
’Xie Huaizheng is clearly mine, yet she impersonated me and snatched him away.’
’I’m going to see for myself just how seductive this woman is!’
Shu Xue arrived at the entrance of the military residential compound. The courtyard was bustling with activity. There were people with their children, some airing out clothes and quilts, and others sitting on chairs, chatting.
They were all women. ’These must be the military wives,’ she thought.
Shu Xue cleared her throat, fiddled with her braided pigtails, then walked over to a group of women who were chatting. "Ladies, I’d like to ask, do you know where Camp Commander Xie Huaizheng lives?"
At her words, the women’s eyes all fell on her.
She was another unfamiliar face. Pale-skinned and delicate, she clearly wasn’t a local girl.
"Are you... Camp Commander Xie’s sister?"
That was the only connection they could imagine. This young woman looked like she was from the city, and the quality of her clothes was excellent. Her family’s circumstances were probably quite good.
"Yes..."
Shu Xue was a smart person and didn’t want to make a scene. ’Even though I’m the victim,’ she thought, ’what’s done between Xie Huaizheng and that woman is done. As the rightful one, I can only endure it for now.’
"Why don’t you wait? He’ll be back for lunch. His wife is at home cooking. You can have him take you up then."
These military wives were no fools. After thinking it over, they decided that even if she really was Xie Huaizheng’s sister, they didn’t know her and couldn’t just give out his address.
After all, their husbands’ profession was a rather sensitive one.
Not getting the answer she wanted, a flicker of disappointment crossed Shu Xue’s eyes.
They were unwilling to tell her!
If she waited for Xie Huaizheng to return, he would definitely send her away.
Just as Shu Xue was thinking this, someone suddenly called out, "Hey, Little Su, you’re back? This is Huai Zheng’s sister. She’s here looking for Camp Commander Xie."
After sleeping in, Su Zhaozhao had gone to the market to buy groceries for lunch and dinner.
Their lives were just this leisurely and pleasant now.
In her free time, she was either selling her products or teaching.
She had also become familiar with most of the military wives in the compound. Everyone who used the skincare products she sold raved about them.
But Su Zhaozhao only planned to sell twenty sets a month. It wasn’t that she wanted to limit the quantity, but she simply couldn’t repackage any more than that.
So now, she had implemented a pre-order system and would even throw in some other small samples for them.
Su Zhaozhao’s emotional intelligence was so high that, before long, she had gotten to know everyone in the compound well.
Seeing Su Zhaozhao return, they had called out to her on a whim, wanting her to see if she recognized this girl.
Hearing this, Shu Xue immediately turned to look at Su Zhaozhao. ’Ah, this is why I came. To see what this woman looks like.’
’Just what kind of woman could replace me and make Xie Huaizheng fall for her?’
Turning her head, she saw a beautiful woman.
The woman had her long hair tied up, revealing a delicate, small face. Her features were radiant, especially her large, bright eyes.
She had a slender and petite frame. Today, she wore a long-sleeved white shirt paired with black wide-legged pants.
This simple attire, elevated by her beauty and refined air, made her look exceptionally gentle, with a classic grace.
Like a beauty nurtured in a Jiangnan Water Village.
Shu Xue had also grown up in Jiang City, and many people had praised her good temperament throughout her life.
But Shu Xue had never seen a girl like Su Zhaozhao.
She felt that even at her university, there was no one this beautiful.
’No wonder Xie Huaizheng likes her so much.’ Shu Xue bit her lip. In terms of looks, she had already been outshone.
Su Zhaozhao was slightly taken aback when she saw Shu Xue. She knew Xie Huaizheng had an older sister, but she’d never heard of a younger one.
However, she was quick-witted. In an instant, she guessed the other’s identity.
So she smiled at Shu Xue and said, "Sister, why don’t you come upstairs and have a seat?"
After all, with so many pairs of eyes watching from downstairs, it wasn’t a convenient place to talk.
After speaking, Su Zhaozhao turned and headed upstairs.
Shu Xue hesitated for a moment but followed.
Perfect. She also wanted Su Zhaozhao to give her an explanation.
After they left, the gossiping military wives started up again.
"Isn’t that Camp Commander Xie’s sister? Why does it seem like they don’t get along?"
"Yeah, I’m sensing a bit of hostility."
"They’re just not familiar with each other, what are you talking about? Didn’t they say Camp Commander Xie’s wife came here all the way from Jiang City to find him? She probably hasn’t met everyone in his family, so it’s normal for them not to know each other well, right?"
...
The gossips continued to gossip.
Meanwhile, Su Zhaozhao led Shu Xue back to their apartment.
Opening the door, Su Zhaozhao said to Shu Xue, "Miss Shu, please, have a seat."
"You know me?" Shu Xue looked at Su Zhaozhao in surprise.
’Great. Besides being beautiful, this woman is also quite smart.’
’No wonder she was able to impersonate me!’
