Chapter 541: Chapter 542: She had plastic surgery to look exactly like Xia Yangyang
In the grand courtyard of the Xi family.
Xia Weiwei is trying on clothes in the fitting room.
Xia Weiwei quickly turned around: “Mom, what do you think of this starry night gown? I’m wearing it for the birthday party tomorrow.”
Xia Weiwei’s dressing room is huge.
“You, got over a dozen evening gowns tailored for just one birthday party. If people found out, they’d call it extravagant and wasteful. You’d ruin the image you’ve painstakingly cultivated over the years.”
As Liu Ruyan spoke, Xia Weiwei was trying on the dress in front of a mirror, nonchalantly responding, “Mom, you’re too cautious. It’s just a few dresses, and it’s not even under my name. No one will care.”
Xia Weiwei, wearing the starry gown, spun around in front of the mirror: “Mom, is it pretty? Do you think Gu Qichen will like it?”
After these years, her daughter had finally managed to cleanse her past and start anew.
But she was still hopelessly hung up on that man.
Liu Ruyan looked at the face that had completely changed, and sighed again.
Sometimes even she couldn’t help but be mistaken when she looked at this face.
When Xia Weiwei was in a car accident years ago, her appearance was ruined, and several ribs were broken.
Later, Xia Weiwei went to South Korea to have plastic surgery, which took half a year.
When she came back, Liu Ruyan was shocked.
Xia Weiwei had made herself look exactly like Xia Yangyang.
The face was almost ninety percent similar.
Sometimes when she looked at her own daughter, it was like she was looking at Xia Yangyang.
Liu Ruyan found it extremely unsettling.
But Xia Weiwei loved her new face.
Over the past two years, she had further refined it, wanting to look as identical as possible to Xia Yangyang.
Now, at first glance, it was genuinely hard to tell they weren’t the same person.
Xia Weiwei caressed her face in front of the mirror: “Do you know, this dress is a reproduction of the one that Xia Yangyang wore at the Baihua Awards ceremony. That dress was given to Xia Yangyang by Gu Qichen himself. Now that I’m wearing this dress, he will definitely take extra glances.”
Liu Ruyan couldn’t help but intervene: “Weiwei, wake up, would you? You’ve mutilated yourself , mimicking Xia Yangyang’s every move, wearing her clothes, and eating what she likes. But what’s the use? Gu Qichen is about to get engaged to Xi Zijun. You couldn’t even compete with Xia Yangyang back in the day, let alone Xi Zijun. Weiwei, listen to your mother, it’s never too late to turn back. Are there no other men in this world besides Gu Qichen?”
Xia Weiwei turned around: “Mom, haven’t you noticed a change in Gu Qichen’s attitude towards me these years? I don’t believe he genuinely likes Xi Zijun, their engagement is nothing but a business alliance. And what about Zhang Xinyi, who’s been by his side all these years? Isn’t it because she somewhat resembles Xia Yangyang? If it’s about resemblance, no one can be more similar to Xia Yangyang than me.”
Xia Weiwei caressed her face: “Xia Yangyang has disappeared, but Gu Qichen hasn’t forgotten her. There’s no better or more similar substitute than me, I don’t mind being a stand-in. Gradually, he won’t be able to part with me. I’ve said it before, one day, sooner or later, whether in five or ten years, I’ll be Mrs. Gu.”
Liu Ruyan knew her daughter’s obsession with Gu Qichen was incurable.
There was nothing she could say that Xia Weiwei would listen to.
Liu Ruyan spoke again: “Don’t get your hopes up too high, whether he’ll come or not is still uncertain.”
Xia Weiwei replied: “He will definitely come. I have a way.”
