A Substitute Bride With Multiple Identities
Chapter 47: Is my face not good enough for you now?

Chapter 47: Chapter 47: Is my face not good enough for you now?

Fu Yanhe gracefully picked up some vegetables with his chopsticks before lifting his eyes to look at her, his voice tinged with a hint of sarcasm, "What’s the matter? Do you think my face doesn’t deserve you anymore?"

Shen Yanhe was momentarily choked up, "..."

At times, this man meant well, but his words could really be stifling.

Seeing her speechless expression, Fu Yanhe subtly curled his lips, "If you have a way to fix it, then do so. It’s just a skin, I don’t mind."

Shen Yanhe nodded, hesitated for a moment, picked up the serving chopsticks, and placed some vegetables on his plate. Meeting his puzzled gaze, she smiled demurely, "Also, thank you for taking me to the hospital today."

She admitted she was trying to ingratiate herself.

Especially since Fu Yanhe had been really angry before he took her to the hospital.

She had thought that upon learning about her "ex-boyfriend," he would have left her on the road, especially after observing his strong pride during their days together. Yet, he had still taken her to the hospital.

She was truly grateful to him.

This proactive approach was also meant to mend their relationship.

He was a good person, and a friend worth having.

Shen Yanhe didn’t want the incident in the car earlier to ruin their relationship.

Fu Yanhe glanced at the plate, which was full of appetizing green vegetables, and after half a minute, he began to eat some.

Yet, he didn’t speak to Shen Yanhe throughout the meal.

Shen Yanhe chuckled lightly, unconcerned, adding to his plate the dishes she noticed he liked to eat more of.

The atmosphere between them had none of the earlier tension from the car ride, instead, there was a sense of peaceful coexistence.

Fu Yanhe, perhaps without realizing it, ate more than usual.

After they had finished eating, Shen Yanhe and Fu Yanhe said goodbye, and she got into the Fu Family car to go to the hospital, while Fu Yanhe headed back to his study to work.

She had just left when San Fang, carrying a laptop bag, knocked on the study door, "Young Master, I’ve found the information you asked for."

Fu Yanhe slightly lifted his head, tapped lightly on the desk with his pale hand, "Speak."

"The other party was indeed very cautious. She avoided the hospital’s surveillance cameras, and even where there were cameras, she covered her face thoroughly, not showing any part of it." While speaking, San Fang pulled out the computer, turned it on, and brought up a surveillance video.

"However, cautious as she was, she didn’t anticipate that the security camera of a hotel across from the hospital would capture her face when she hid in a blind spot."

The expression on San Fang’s face was extremely complicated, "Young Master, you would never guess who the person plotting against the Young Mistress’s brother is."

Before San Fang could reveal more, Fu Yanhe had already seen the person in the surveillance footage.

The woman who sneakily hid from the camera, dressed in a tacky pinkish-red, pulled down the scarf covering her face, revealing a sharp, radiant complexion.

That person was Shen Yanhe’s aunt, Gan Danxue.

San Fang was utterly baffled.

No matter how strained relations were with the Shen Family, they were still distantly related by blood!

The Young Mistress’s brother was her own nephew, how could she bear to harm him?

Yet, Fu Yanhe’s face showed no sign of surprise.

Recalling how today Shen Yingying had blocked him, trying to frame Shen Yanhe, it reminded him that those from the Shen Family, besides Shen Yanhe, were of a certain character.

Both stupid and malicious.

San Fang glanced cautiously at Fu Yanhe and asked, "Young Master, do you intend to help the Young Mistress deal with the Shen Family?"

Now that the Young Master and the Young Mistress seemed so close,

with both of them coming and going together today, and the Shen Family troubling the Young Mistress, surely the Young Master would take action to defend her, right?

Fu Yanhe slightly lowered his eyes and looked at the document on the desk, his thin lips parted slightly, "I am her husband in name, and when my wife is bullied, it is natural for me to protect her."

"By the way," Fu Yanhe tapped on the video on the computer, "Send this video to her."

The Shen Family would take action to teach a lesson, but he believed that his wife in name would prefer to take revenge personally.

-

Meanwhile, Shen Yanhe, en route to the hospital in her car, had her slender and fair fingers rapidly tapping on her phone screen, with lines of blue code flitting across it.

Suddenly, a pop-up appeared: "Intrusion Successful!"

One after another, surveillance videos started appearing on her phone; Shen Yanhe, expressionless, quickly tapped on the videos, looking at the footage from the surveillance camera at 17:35:59.

These images came from surveillance cameras outside a store located near the hospital.

During the emergency at the hospital, she hadn’t had time to check, but now that Shen Huai’s condition had stabilized, she began her investigation.

She refused to believe that the person who harmed Shen Huai could evade all the surveillance cameras.

Shen Yanhe focused on a person in a rose-red dress in the surveillance videos, ultimately locking on to a video transmitted from a hotel.

The hotel’s camera was aimed right at a small park used by hospital patients for walks.

In the footage, a woman wearing a rose-red dress stood precisely in a blind spot, gazing intently at Shen Huai, who was in protective gear, and pulled down her tightly wrapped scarf, revealing a face very familiar to Shen Yanhe.

Upon seeing that face, Shen Yanhe’s grip on her phone tightened until her knuckles turned white and her face grew extremely grim, her reddened eyes fixated on the woman who was calling out to Shen Huai.

Her "beloved aunt," Gantan Xue.

At that moment, Shen Yanhe’s desire to kill Gantan Xue peaked.

For the first time, she truly wished someone would die.

But it couldn’t be.

This was the Grand Xia Kingdom, and should she enact her vengeance here, it would lead to an endless investigation.

However, she couldn’t swallow her anger.

Murderous intent and hostility surged and intertwined in Shen Yanhe’s eyes, her chest heaving.

She closed her eyes tightly, then reopened them, her pupils coldly flickering, and said to the driver, "Don’t go to the hospital, go to the Shen Family first."

If she couldn’t kill, she would make their lives a living hell!

The Fu Family driver felt puzzled, yet obediently followed her command, turning the car towards the Shen Family.

-

At that time, at the Shen Family.

Gantan Xue had taken off her dowdy rose-red coat and changed into a red velvet pajama set; her long hair styled into large waves as she sat seductively on the living room sofa, sipping a glass of red wine with great pleasure.

That Shen Huai boy should already be in ICU by now, right? Shen Yanhe must be desperately begging at the hospital now, right?

Shen Yanhe, that naive girl, was still too inexperienced.

Competing against her was destined for failure.

Gantan Xue swirled her wine glass, pondering whether Yingying had successfully met with Master Fu today.

With Yingying’s outstanding qualities, Master Fu would probably ditch that unsophisticated country girl, Shen Yanhe, and prepare to wed Yingying, right?

It’s been so long since they last met, perhaps they are developing their relationship now.

If Yingying could become Mrs. Fu, she would definitely be able to hold her head high among her sisters.

As Gantan Xue daydreamed about the Shen Family’s bright future, the front door was opened and Shen Yingying hurried in with a panicked face, "Mom, something’s happened."
