Chapter 546: Chapter 546: The Ugly Duckling Turns into a Swan
Wanhe Qianfeng Garden.
In the living room, Uncle Li’s eyes reddened as he watched the television: “The Young Mistress is really amazing.”
He Jingyao raised an eyebrow at him, slightly wrinkling his brow with disapproval: “Uncle Li, you’re old enough, don’t start crying on me.”
“Young Master, you’ve chosen a good wife,” Uncle Li continued, moved.
He Jingyao gave a faint smile but said nothing.
Meanwhile, on the television, Su Zixi, who had been looking around, suddenly turned towards the camera and revealed a sweet smile.
It was as if she were saying, “Hi, I know you’re there.”
He Jingyao couldn’t help but curl the corner of his lip and said softly, “Yeah, I’m here.”
“What did you say, Young Master?” Uncle Li asked, his voice nasal.
“When have my eyes ever been wrong?” He Jingyao smiled slightly, then paused and suddenly added, “Well, maybe not always, perhaps choosing you as my butler was a mistake.”
Uncle Li didn’t get angry at being made fun of; he just chuckled and said, “Young Master, have you forgotten? It wasn’t you who chose me, but the old master who had me come to take care of you.”
“Is that so?” He Jingyao laughed with satisfaction. “I knew my judgment in selecting a butler couldn’t be that bad.”
Uncle Li was left speechless.
On the television, Cheng Youlin began his speech. Throughout it, Su Zixi maintained a faint smile, occasionally laughing at the screen. The discussions about her on social media completely exploded with endless words of praise.
People from all over the country, whether they knew her or not, were all joining in the discussion.
The news about Su Zixi at Yanzhou University was especially frenetic. As her best friend, Shen Yushan’s phone had blown up, but she herself was so frustrated she wanted to bang her head against a wall! So Zixi turned out to be the daughter that the President and his wife had lost all those years ago, such a huge piece of news, and that woman hadn’t told her a word! It infuriated her!
In Ye Shutong’s apartment, she turned off the television after just a few minutes, her expression darkening. She took out a bottle of vodka and drained it in one go. For the first time, her steadfast confidence wavered: Did she really still have a chance? She had thought Su Zixi was lowly and timid, certainly not her rival, but only after actually interacting with her did she realize that the woman’s inherent tenacity and sharpness were something she could hardly counter.
Moreover, she had completely transformed from an ugly duckling into a swan… Thinking this, Ye Shutong’s gaze fell on the half-empty bottle of pills beside her and she suddenly felt so ridiculous.
In Shanglin Bay, Yun Xuefei hung up Yan Lingfeng’s call again, thought for a moment, then added his number to the blacklist. Then, turning her head and seeing Su Zixi on the television, she couldn’t help but smile, placing her hands on her belly, and said softly, “Baby, how about we have this beautiful aunt as your godmother in the future?”
The celebration was about to end.
At Wanhe Qianfeng Garden, He Jingyao watched as Su Zixi waved to the public with grace and poise. Soon, the family of three got into the car, ready to return to the President Mansion.
“Prepare lunch, the Young Mistress will be back soon,” He Jingyao suddenly said with a faint smile.
“Isn’t the Young Mistress supposed to have lunch with the President and his wife at the President Mansion?” Uncle Li asked in surprise.
He Jingyao took one last look at the television and smiled: “She’ll definitely ask to come home.”
The President Mansion wasn’t her home; this was.
The live broadcast on television was coming to an end, and just at that moment, an unexpected turn of events occurred!
