Chapter 232: It's not bad even if it's a fake.
Han Xinyue and her group did not park their car at the entrance of the Duan Group; that would have been too conspicuous.
That way, Duan Yao would find out, to the point that she can't even see him now.
After their entourage left the Duan Group in a grand procession, their car came from a short distance away, picked up Han Xinyue, her assistant, and bodyguards, and drove off.
Han Xinyue tilted her head and stared at the towering business building outside until it disappeared from her sight, then reluctantly turned her head back.
The woman sitting next to her was named Linda, Han Zhenying's assistant. She was capable, ruthless, and loyal to the Han family.
In particular, Han Zhenying was her savior, and she was willing to dedicate her youth and life to the Han family.
After Han Zhenying passed away, she insisted on staying by Han Xinyue's side.
Han Xinyue was raised by Han Zhenying in an extremely safe and unknown place abroad since she was a child. However, Linda, out of love for Han Xinyue, believed that Han Xinyue was the only thing Han Zhenying left in the world. Therefore, she decided that she must treat her new master as well as she had treated her former master.
She was a few years older than Han Xinyue, but she had already witnessed all the deceit and intrigue in the workplace and business world, as well as the complex emotional entanglements between men and women in wealthy families.
Based solely on Han Xinyue's glance at the Duan Group and the lingering look she gave as she turned her head towards the commercial building, I could roughly guess what was going on.
But something felt off to me!
With this strange feeling in her heart, Linda opened her mouth and asked Han Xinyue, "Miss, do you have feelings for Mr. Duan Yao?"
It was written in the language of Gaoguo, and it was a declarative sentence, not a question.
Upon hearing this, Han Xinyue turned her head slightly to look at Linda and asked in the same Mandarin, "Is it obvious?"
Linda nodded firmly. "I understand human emotions and desires better than anyone else. Your eyes can't lie to me."
Han Xinyue chuckled softly, seemingly in a much better mood. "Yes, I like it."
Linda frowned slightly. "You've been abroad all this time, never been to China, and never had any contact with Mr. Duan Yao. How did you fall for him?"
Han Xinyue's smile only widened. "Would you believe me if I said it was because of love at first sight just now?"
“I don’t believe it!” Linda said succinctly.
He added, "Your eyes tell me that you've known Duan Yao for more than ten years, maybe even more than fifteen years."
As soon as she finished speaking, Han Xinyue's fingers curled into a fist. "How did you figure that out?"
Linda: "I'm a PhD in psychology. You can't fool me with just a glance."
Han Xinyue took a deep breath, pursed her lips, and continued in fluent Gao Guo language, "Yes, you are right. I met Duan Yao in Lan Guo when I was very young."
She had already fallen in love with him at first sight.
This statement is correct; Han Xinyue had been living in Lan Country before news of Han Zhenying's death arrived.
Han Zhenying would occasionally travel alone to Lan Country to see his biological daughter without informing Linda.
It's not surprising that Han Zhenying and the Duan family of China are on good terms and have met privately before.
This explanation convinced Linda.
Linda stared at Han Xinyue's profile and said, "If you like her, go for it. You're very beautiful, don't waste your looks. It shouldn't be difficult to pursue a boy you like."
Moreover, Duan Yao was approved by your father before his death, and his future will be more beneficial than harmful to our Han Group.
Linda spoke to Han Xinyue in a tone that sounded like an elder, with a hint of expectation.
Han Xinyue met her eyes. "He has a girlfriend."
"So?" Linda asked with a smile, "So what?"
He's not afraid of his wife, so why would he be afraid of just a girlfriend?
Han Xinyue suddenly hugged Linda, "Help me!"
I know about the relationship between you and my father; it's more than just a superior-subordinate relationship.
I like you. I've always thought you and my father were a perfect match.
After my father passed away, you are my only family in this world, and I can only trust you.
Help me! Please!
Han Xinyue knew exactly where to start with this matter, and she knew exactly how to manipulate Linda.
I knew that Linda's love for Han Zhenying had reached the point of being incurable, otherwise I wouldn't have almost gone with her to the funeral a while ago.
Then let's go along with her wishes.
Sure enough, Linda was quite taken with it.
Tears welled up instantly in her eyes. "You know your father and me? Do you accept us?"
She always thought that she appeared glamorous on the surface, but in reality, she was a jealous woman who used every means to drive away the other women in front of Han Zhenying.
I never expected to gain Han Xinyue's approval and even become someone she could rely on.
Han Xinyue leaned on her shoulder and nodded, "Yes, I know, I know all too well."
You are completely different from the other women around my father. They are all after my father's money, but you are the only one who genuinely cares about my father and our company.
I've long considered you family.
Linda felt a surge of warmth welling up inside her, and she thought that this life was enough.
"Okay, okay, Xinyue, thank you."
Don't worry, I'll help you. As long as I have a breath left, I will definitely help you.
Just like how I unconditionally helped your father back then.
Han Xinyue also cried, deeply moved as she said to Linda, "Thank you, thank you."
Unexpectedly, the look in his eyes changed drastically the moment he finished speaking.
The sense of triumph and chilling coldness is palpable.
She valued more than just Linda's ability to assist in her career.
She also valued Linda's shady methods that science couldn't explain; otherwise, she wouldn't have remained steadfastly by Han Zhenying's side all these years.
...
At this time, the Bai Group.
Bai Jingcheng was abroad a few days ago dealing with important family matters, and only learned of the incredibly interesting things that had happened in the capital today after returning to China.
"Wow~" he exclaimed, looking at the profile picture of Han Xinyue in the photo. "She looks so much like me? Why didn't you say so earlier?"
Xu Meng, the assistant standing to the side, remained silent.
He said he saw it in Gao Guo that day and reported it, but he just didn't believe it.
They even said that no matter how precise the technology, it's impossible to create two people who are exactly the same.
Right now, she's smiling like a ripe date.
Tsk! Men.
"Find some time to meet her."
Bai Jingcheng wanted to see just how similar the real person was.
Even if it's a fake, it's not so bad, is it?
Over there, at Imperial University.
This matter has caused quite a stir here.
Especially in the art department, in Qin Shuyao's class.
One by one, they laughed and discussed the photos on their phones.
"Oh my, could this be Song Beiyou's long-lost sister?"
"Look at Song Beiyou's bizarre background, it's not surprising, is it?"
“Song Beiyou is no match for Han Xinyue. She’s a tycoon; she can crush a person like an ant.”
Qin Shuyao couldn't stand it anymore and slammed her hand on the table, "Are you being cheeky?"
One by one, those brainless people go to the doctor, and those with mouths who can't speak properly should shut up!
Because of her status, the class immediately fell silent as soon as she spoke, and no one dared to discuss it.
Only Mu Niannian, standing next to Qin Shuyao, smiled knowingly at her phone screen.
