Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The next day, in the bedroom of the villa.

Lu Mian was dressed in a well-ironed black suit. He patted Jiang Zhi’s shoulder with a solemn expression and pulled her into his arms.

Jiang Zhi lifted her head and smiled at him. She picked up the bouquet of chrysanthemum flowers that she had prepared in advance and went to the cemetery with Lu Mian.

Today was the anniversary of the death of Jiang Zhi’s mother.

She squatted down and wiped the tombstone with clean water. Looking at the black and white photo of the beautiful woman, she muttered, “Mother...”

“Mom...”

Jiang Zhi lowered her eyes and bit her red lips. Her tears fell on the ground and sank into the soft soil.

Lu Mian stood beside her and bowed respectfully. He tidied up his appearance and said in a clear voice.

“Hello, Auntie. I’m Lu Mian. It’s my first time meeting you. I hope you like me... I love her very much and will do my best to take care of Jiang Zhi for the rest of my life. I hope you can trust me with her.

“From now on, I’ll accompany her to visit you every year. You don’t have to worry about her being bullied anymore...”

Lu Mian’s sincere words warmed Jiang Zhi’s heart. She felt that an empty space at the bottom of her heart was gradually filling up and recovering.

After leaving the cemetery, Jiang Zhi was about to return to the production team when she received a call from her father.

Her father’s voice sounded a little strange as he said coldly, “Come home and eat. Today is the anniversary of your mother’s death. You have to have a family reunion dinner to console her spirit.”

Jiang Zhi wanted to turn him down, but when she saw the cemetery from the corner of her eye, she agreed.

Lu Mian returned to the set alone. Jiang Zhi stood at the door and paced around. She looked at the unfamiliar yet familiar place and pushed the door open.

Senior Jiang was talking loudly in the living room. A man of his age sat beside him.

Jiang Zhi recognized him. He was the famous old pervert in the financial circle, President Zhao.

Why was he here?

When her father saw her, he quickly invited her to sit beside him and introduced, “Director Zhao, this is my daughter, Jiang Zhi. You two have met before...

“Right now, due to her divorce, she’s not in a good mood. As her father, I also want to help her get over the trauma as soon as possible.

“You two should have a lot in common. In the future, if you meet often and chat, you’ll naturally be able to develop a relationship!”

Father Jiang smiled.

Jiang Zhi suddenly understood that this was not a dinner to console the dead. It was clearly a blind date!

Director Zhao’s lecherous eyes sized her up, and he praised her in satisfaction, “Well done, she’s really beautiful!

“It seems that dealing with Director Jiang is not a loss. If you still lack investment funds in the future, feel free to tell me!”

While they were talking, Jiang Zhi determined that her father had just sold her and exchanged her for a lot of benefits.

Jiang Zhi sneered in her heart. Director Zhao’s son was probably older than her. How could he have the nerve to discuss with father Jiang about her remarrying and becoming a stepmother?

Father Jiang gave Jiang Zhi a cold and slanted look, indicating for her to say a few words.

Jiang Zhi smiled and pretended to be obedient as she picked up the teacup. She took two sips and raised her eyes to stare at director Zhao. She said, “Uncle Zhao, long time no see!

“I remember when I was young, you often came to my house as a guest. At that time, your son always liked to stay by my side and asked me to call him brother...

“So many years have passed in the blink of an eye. I wonder if he is doing well now?

“Judging by his age, Uncle Zhao, your son should have gotten married and have children by now, right? I wonder how old your grandson is? Is his academic performance good?”

Father Jiang’s expression became uglier and uglier. President Zhao’s face turned ashen after being ridiculed by her for his old age. He was on the verge of exploding in anger.

Father Jiang coughed twice to signal for her to shut up, but Jiang Zhi went on.

“Your grandson needs to be taught well from a young age. Don’t always look at his female classmate at the same table. It’s hard to change the nature of his genes. Don’t wait for him to learn from Uncle Zhao. If his root is damaged, it’ll be too late!”

Father Jiang slammed the table and interrupted her words. He said sardonically, “Jiang Zhi, don’t be stubborn!

“You left the Jiang family and had such a hard life. You still had to try hard as a stand-in. Why don’t you marry President Zhao and live a good life?”

Jiang Lu brought back the miserable situation of her being a stand-in.

President Zhao finally found some sense of superiority. His eyes were full of contempt, and the fat on his belly kept shaking. He said, “I’ve supported a few celebrities. As long as you follow me, you don’t have to be a stand-in. You can also enjoy the support of some fans.

“But, we have an agreement first. After you get married, you still have to stay at home.

“As for what I do outside and what women I have, you don’t have to care! Do you remember?”

President Zhao seemed to be certain that Jiang Zhi would compromise and remarry. He told her the rules in advance.. Jiang Zhi sneered and snorted.
