Chapter 175: Chapter 175 Pretending to be His White Moonlight Chapter 175: Chapter 175 Pretending to be His White Moonlight Wen Nianyou turned her head to look at her, “You tell Shi Youjin to thoroughly investigate all the domestic workers both past and present, to see if there’s anyone suspicious. I suspect that the person who knows our secret is among the household staff.”
“Okay, don’t worry, he will definitely get this done for you.”
“I’m stepping out for a bit. Keep a close eye on Mother Tian and the temps at home. Also, I think my parents will be back soon, remember to speak well of me in front of them. Just say I had no idea that Number 6 at Golden Sand Beach was sold. If they ask, just do as before, push everything on Lin Chuyi. Find an excuse to let her take the blame.”
“Mhm, I know.”
Reassured, Wen Nianyou got into her sports car and drove off.
She went to a pharmacy on the street corner; the shop was empty except for the owner dozing off behind the counter.
Wen Nianyou knocked on the counter, “Meng Li, wake up, your chance to strike it rich has come.”
Meng Li’s eyes snapped open, “Youyou? What kind of opportunity to get rich?”
“I need you to seduce someone.”
“This… Youyou, isn’t this inappropriate? I’m very honest and decent, how could I seduce someone!”
Wen Nianyou snorted coldly, “The man who is now keeping Lin Chuyi has enabled her to wear the same Chanel as me while you’re still dressed in such lowly street stall clothes. Don’t you think that’s incredibly unfair?”
“What? Chuyi is being kept by someone? But she’s always so proud, how could she…”
“Pride is just a facade. She’s green with envy of my life as a lady and has shamelessly seduced men to climb upwards. Unlike you, she has a clear goal. She’s bent on being among the wealthy, and now she’s halfway there.”
Jealousy glinted in Meng Li’s eyes, and her words were tinged with bitterness, “Heh, she’s got a pretty face, and she’s always had many suitors, but still, she seemed to fancy none. I used to think she was pure as snow, but it turns out those male classmates just weren’t rich enough!”
“The man who is keeping Lin Chuyi, you’ve met him before. He’s the heir to Shengshi Group, handsome and wealthy beyond measure. If you can replace Lin Chuyi, you will be the one to enjoy the fortune.”
Meng Li subconsciously touched her face, “This… Can I really do it?”
She had a scar on her face, not very prominent, but it was something she was very self-conscious about. Whenever people looked at her face, she always felt they were staring at her scar.
Of course, Wen Nianyou knew what she was worried about. With a sneer tinged with sarcasm, she said, “You should count yourself lucky. I have had someone look into it, and the heir of Shengshi Group has been looking for a girl. This girl seems to come from humble beginnings, hasn’t read much, and she might very well have a scar on her face.”
“Sheng Tingyuan has been searching for this girl for many years. It is said that she is his ‘white moonlight’, his first love. What you have to do is impersonate this ‘white moonlight’.”
“How about it, a lucrative deal, right? Having you seduce Sheng Tingyuan is hardly a step down for you, right? Even considering Sheng Tingyuan’s physique and looks, you’d be making a profit!”
“Once you are on Sheng Tingyuan’s good side, you won’t have to run this barely breaking-even pharmacy anymore.”
Meng Li’s heart was already beating with unrestrained excitement.
If she really shared so many similarities with Sheng Tingyuan’s lost ‘white moonlight’, even if she couldn’t perfectly impersonate her, she could use her resemblance to gain a bit of Sheng Tingyuan’s pity.
Spoils from such wealthy families could last her a lifetime, even with just a small portion.
Just like with Wen Nianyou, Qi Yunfan wasn’t from the topmost tier of wealthy families, yet he showered her with jewelry worth millions at a time.
Meng Li had always dreamed of entering the world of the wealthy, but unfortunately, her background was too poor. Even by following Wen Nianyou like a dog, she never managed to connect with anyone from that social circle.
Now, she finally had her chance!
Her eyes shimmered with greed, “Youyou, rest assured, I will definitely oust Lin Chuyi, ensure she can never be Sheng Tingyuan’s lover again!”
She was well aware of how much Wen Nianyou detested Lin Chuyi, and she felt the same. The two of them always agreed on this front, and it was by belittling Lin Chuyi that she was accepted into Wen Nianyou’s fold.
