Love Gambit: The Untouchable Tycoon is So Dangerous-Chapter 49: Marrying in Place of My Sister
Chapter 49: Chapter 49: Marrying in Place of My Sister
After finishing his official duties, it was already midnight.
The villa was quiet, except for the sound of the wind howling outside the window, there was no other noise.
Xing Chen doesn’t like noise, so this entire villa is only occupied by him.
There are three more villas at the back, where the servants live, the rest are for guests.
He got up alone and went to the bar on the first floor.
He turned on the coffee machine, then remembered it was already late.
Xing Chen frowned slightly and poured himself a glass of brandy instead.
He took a sip, and his lips curved into a smile.
Deep in his eyes, there was no longer the cold and silence of the past ten years.
Replaced by sporadic, dancing lights.
Even Lou Xining knew that Xing Chen doesn’t drink alcohol easily, only sipping a glass when he’s happy.
It seems that the things that happened today were good memories for Xing Chen.
After finishing the drink, he finally satisfied went upstairs, took a bath, and went to sleep.
As for the poor mobile phone, it was forgotten in the study, the screen flashing several times but unattended.
At this moment.
Outside the East Fourth Ring Road, under an ordinary apartment building.
A black BMW stopped.
In the car, on the back seat.
Two middle-aged people, both with worried expressions, were looking up at the building.
The lights were still on the seventh floor.
It was faintly visible that the curtains were pink.
The woman was dressed luxuriously, her skin was also good, showing that she had been maintaining it for years.
"Xiangsi lives here?"
"Yes." The man sitting next to her nodded, his face also not looking good. "She went to Lansi Country with her mother when she was four. I heard she came back four years ago. I only found out this afternoon that she lives here."
"Hmm, it seems she’s not a filial daughter. You are her only relative in this world, yet she hasn’t come to see you once?" The woman’s words were clearly bitter and sarcastic.
Indeed, this middle-aged man was Ran Xiangsi’s father, Ran Zhonghai.
"You need to act like a stepmother, stop being sarcastic every time you speak. Remember, we’re here tonight to ask her for something." Ran Zhonghai scolded the woman beside him.
This woman was married to Ran Zhonghai later, named Fang Biqin, and came from a wealthy family.
In this world, there are stepmothers who are good to their children, but unfortunately, Fang Biqin was not one of them.
Since she saw the photos of Ran Xiangsi and her mother, Fang Biqin disliked Xiangsi even more.
"I know. As long as she agrees to marry in place of her sister, I’ll treat her like royalty!" Fang Biqin’s words were sour, and Ran Zhonghai shot her a look.
"I’ll do the talking later, you say less." Ran Zhonghai said coldly, "Qianqian is my daughter, Xiangsi is also my daughter. Whoever marries over, I’ll feel heartache."
Biqin’s face turned pale at hearing this and quickly said, "Husband, you can’t ignore Qianqian, she’s the only daughter we have together. If she marries that playboy from the Gu Family, her life will be ruined."
"..." Ran Zhonghai was silent for a moment, then said a comforting word, "I know what to do, let’s get out."
The two discussed and got out of the car together.
Meanwhile, Ran Xiangsi, who still knew nothing, had been staring at her phone for over half an hour.
No reply.
Still no reply.
Not a single message was answered!!
Ran Xiangsi felt inexplicably lost...
She kept tapping her phone several times, but there was still no response.
Did this person see the messages and not reply, or simply didn’t see them?
