Chapter 274: Internet Sensation! Si Mingjing is Bai Jiusi! 1
She was now truly a little rich lady!
Of course, among those five hundred million, there were the ten million Uncle Ye had given her on New Year’s Eve, the three hundred sixty million from Mo Yinhe on New Year’s Eve, the five hundred thousand from treating Mrs. Lin’s cancer, over one hundred million in consultation fees from the more than three million other cancer patients Uncle Ye had spoken of, and the year-end bonus from Song Group...
She decided to invest it all into the new company!
At this moment, Ye Shen rushed in hurriedly, shouting loudly, "Big Brother! I have good news! Two hours ago, Mu Continent unilaterally announced that Qu Gaoyang is of poor character and morally corrupt. The alliance marriage is canceled effective immediately; you won’t have to attend Qu Gaoyang’s grand wedding and become the laughing stock of the entire world!"
Mo Yinhe held Si Mingjing in his arms and glanced dispassionately at the overly excited Ye Shen, saying, "It’s all in the past, and I have no interest in their news."
"Ah? Oh, right, right! After all, Big Brother has now found a new lease on life. I think Mingjing is a hundred times better than the former sister-in-law. Congratulations, Big Brother, for losing a sesame seed and gaining a watermelon!"
Ye Shen hastily changed his tune in a sycophantic manner.
After speaking, he didn’t forget to mentally add: Sister-in-law, whether in the past or now, you are the strongest! I’m just talking nonsense; please don’t hit me if you regain your memory later~
A wise man adapts to circumstances.
Mo Yinhe was very pleased that Ye Shen was finally showing some growth.
Si Mingjing pushed Mo Yinhe away and jumped out of his arms, saying, "If you two have things to discuss, I’ll step out first."
"What could we possibly have to talk about? Ye Shen, do you have something else?"
Mo Yinhe grabbed Si Mingjing’s slender wrist and refused to let her go, casting a disdainful glance at his brother. Isn’t he leaving yet?
Ye Shen promptly said, "Of course not, Big Brother, Mingjing, I need to go accompany my Little Tangtang. I won’t disturb you two."
Ye Shen was getting the hang of it, making a quick exit.
He did not forget to close the door of the study for the couple and, sourcing a sign from who knows where, he hung it on the door.
The sign read: "Do Not Disturb!"
Inside the study, Mo Yinhe continued to patiently assist Si Mingjing with organizing the documents needed for the company registration and how to fill in the application form, the atmosphere surprisingly cozy.
「In stark contrast was Qu Gaoyang.」
He lay in a high-class hospital room in Gendaya, having just awakened not long after his amputation surgery, only to face a heavy blow.
His arm was gone, and so was his fiancee.
Even his position as Crown Prince might not be secure.
Life, in an instant, had plunged from heavenly heights to the eighteenth level of hell!
He saw the statement from Mu Continent’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs announcing the cancellation of the marriage alliance, and he was so angry he nearly vomited blood.
He immediately dialed Si Lisao’s phone.
But Si Lisao refused to take his call!
Qu Gaoyang then called his own father, the King.
He requested that his father issue a statement to protest against Mu Continent’s unilateral retraction of the marriage, demanding that the grand wedding proceed as planned.
The King of Gendaya said over the phone, "Yang’er, there’s no turning back from this; forget about her."
How could Qu Gaoyang possibly forget?
"Father, I will marry no one but Bai Jiusi in this lifetime. I’ve already lost an arm; I can’t lose her as well. Even if it means destroying the whole world, I must have Bai Jiusi!"
The King of Gendaya wondered, What kind of sin have I committed? How did both my sons become so obsessed with Bai Jiusi? Bai Jiusi really is a menace! I should have killed her before she turned into a Giant Dragon and revealed her identity, to rid my two sons of this obsession!
"Father, Father..."
Qu Gaoyang was just as stubborn, refusing to turn back until he hit a wall.
The King of Gendaya, lamenting that his sons had inherited his trait of unrequited longing, asked, "Yang’er, do you hate Si Mingjing?"
Qu Gaoyang ground his teeth with hatred, "Hate? How could I not hate! Father, I want to kill that bitch!"
The King of Gendaya breathed a sigh of relief and told him the truth, "Then you should forget about this marriage alliance. The Bai Jiusi you were to marry is nothing but an impostor, not a member of the Dragon Clan at all. The real Bai Jiusi is the Si Mingjing you so desperately want to kill. Since you loathe her that much, it’s better to call off this alliance!"
"What? Impossible!"
Qu Gaoyang refused to believe it.
How could Ajiu possibly be an impostor?
The King of Gendaya said, "Mu Continent dared to fool us, father and son, with a fake. I will certainly seek justice for you!"
"No, it can’t be... Father, you’re lying to me!"
The King of Gendaya did not want to waste his breath anymore.
"Yang’er, my son, you absolutely cannot be caught up in romantic affections. As the future heir, the quality you need most is to sever emotional ties and romantic love. You may pamper many women, but you must never fall deeply in love with any one woman. Remember what your father has said!"
Having said that, the King of Gendaya hung up the phone.
Qu Gaoyang couldn’t face such reality.
His life had already been dealt a heavy blow!
Now his father had added insult to injury by saying that the Ajiu who had abandoned Mo Yinhe and had been affectionate with him was a fake.
His world was crumbling apart!
Qu Gaoyang immediately made a video call to Bai Jiusi, demanding, "You’re not Bai Jiusi?"
"W-what are you saying? If I’m not Bai Jiusi, then who is?!"
Bai Jiusi’s voice panicked for a moment; even though it was just for an instant, she quickly regained composure, but Qu Gaoyang caught the slip!
No wonder at the Quad-Country Summit, Mo Yinhe looked at Ajiu so calmly, his gaze unwavering. So he already knew she was an impostor?
Qu Gaoyang, recalling how he once smugly embraced a fake Ajiu in front of Mo Yinhe, felt so embarrassed and annoyed that he wanted to strangle the impostor on the video.
Qu Gaoyang had an epiphany and sneered, "Si Mingjing is the real Ajiu. I treated true love like trash while embracing a tramp as my love. Foolish me!"
"You, you’re talking nonsense!" Bai Jiusi became even more panicked, her face pale, unable to hide it.
"Hahaha, I, Qu Gaoyang, am the world’s biggest fool! You say you’re Bai Jiusi, then turn into a dragon for me now!"
Seeing Bai Jiusi continuously refusing, Qu Gaoyang became even more certain, "You can’t transform, can you? Who exactly are you? How dare you impersonate the woman I loved most and play me for a fool! You just wait, I will not let you go!"
Qu Gaoyang, furious and aggrieved, hung up the phone.
He closed his eyes, beginning to contemplate the person that was Si Mingjing!
The more I think about it, the more she truly seems like Ajiu!
No wonder she could defeat the fake Bai Jiusi at the Quad-Country Summit! No wonder she could triumph at the casino!
Qu Gaoyang thought of how he had almost had Ajiu killed, and he was so overcome with annoyance and regret that he wanted to kill himself...
Qu Gaoyang immediately responded to Mu Continent’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs’ statement about calling off the engagement on social media.
He wrote, "Call off the marriage then! An impostor—you think this Crown Prince cares? There is only one true Ajiu in this Crown Prince’s heart, and her name now is Si Mingjing. I hurt the woman I loved most and willingly severed an arm in apology to her! I’m sorry! Please forgive me, but I will definitely not give up on you!"
