CEO's Substitute Bride

"    

Upon hearing Xia Chen's rejection, Director Ji's face instantly darkened. "Does Director Ji have any orders for me?"    

However, Director Ji was someone who had seen the world, so she wouldn't give up her purpose just because of this small awkwardness.    

"It's like this. I heard that you and Wu Jingchen are going to create your own brand. I was just thinking that since An An has always been our top student, it should be able to help you. So look, why don't we let An An join in and learn a bit?"    

Summer revealed a polite smile, "Sorry for troubling you, but we haven't started preparing yet. After all, this semester's task is quite heavy, so we have to study hard, no?"    

If she had trusted Director Ji before and even told her some of her thoughts, it would have been foolish of her. But now, she had woken up. This Director Ji was not as good as she thought. "You don't want to take this niece with you this summer. In that case, I think we can take up the entire class together during the summer vacation, right?"    

When Xia Xia met Director Ji's eyes that were faintly smiling, his eyebrows slightly raised. Was this a threat to her?    

However, after checking up on her in the summer, she immediately understood. It seemed that this Director Ji didn't want her to do anything about the brand.    

"Director Ji means that as long as I go with the class flower, we will have more time to prepare?"    

Xia Zhi frowned. Director Ji was really overconfident. Why would she think that he would be threatened by her?    

In the worst case scenario, she would no longer be studying at Shengde Academy, and Pei Yichen could also withdraw his investment.    

Or perhaps, it wasn't a big deal for her to do this again after graduation. She was currently under the control of others. After that, there would be no way for her to live on in the future.    

"In the summer, there should be some friendship between us. Old Mistress An and Old Master Pei, but after so many years of friendship, our two families can be considered aristocratic families. My sister married into the An family and only had this one daughter, so of course, she wants to have a better future. I think for the sake of her elders, you should give her some face."    

After listening to Director Ji's words, Xia Zhi frowned and was truly speechless!    

An'an was actually the An Family's daughter!    

What about Anna?    

Summer frowned. The An family only had one son. If Director Ji's sister was the An family's Young Mistress and had a daughter like An An, then who was the daughter of Anna, who was raised by Grandma Ang since childhood?    

Summer felt that it was necessary for her to ask about the An family's situation, it really could make people depressed to death.    

Furthermore, she could use the support of Pei Family to threaten him, and the An family could also do the same!    

Xia Chen took a deep breath, trying hard to remain calm. No matter what the situation was in the An family, she didn't want to give Pei Yichen any trouble at the moment.    

"Since the class is so interested, of course I don't have any objections. However, we've already decided on the future development trend and the shares. If the class is here, I'm afraid we'll have to do something similar."    

In the summer, she would kick Ando out into the open, and then she could arrange for this woman to do some other insignificant things. As for the important parts, she would be more at ease with those she trusted.    

Director Ji nodded with satisfaction and smiled. She didn't expect to include An An in the team in the summer. As long as she could join the team, she could take things one step at a time in the future.    

"An An, why don't you thank Elder Sister Xia Tian already? In the future, I want to learn from you."    

An An obediently took a step forward and bowed to Xia Xia, "Elder Sister Xia Tian, I'm not afraid of hard work. If there's anything you need tell me, I'll definitely follow you and do it properly so I won't embarrass you!"    

Xia Zhi nodded helplessly, "Miss An is the young lady of the An clan. How could I dare give instructions? I hope you can advise me in advance."    

A hint of disdain flashed in her eyes. If her aunt didn't want her to come, then she wouldn't have to rely on this old woman who had no education. If she didn't have the ability, then she would have to rely on her face to do things!    

If she wasn't pregnant before marriage, she wouldn't believe that a man like Pei Yichen would fall for a woman like this in the summer. This could only mean that Pei Yichen was just a responsible man!    

"Elder Sister Xia Tian, it's the holidays today. Do you have any plans?"    

Anthea stepped forward and smiled as she took Summer's arm.    

Xia Zhi frowned, feeling a bit disgusted with her sudden intimacy. "I'm going to have a meal with my friend, how about we contact each other another day?"    

An An An smiled and shook her head. "Meal, mine. No problem. Coincidentally, Elder Sister Xia Tian can introduce me to your friends."    

Xia Xia glanced at An An with a foolish smile on her face and lowered her eyes. "Fine, I'd like to see what this class flower is planning to do so that Ye Niu Juan and Jingchen can get to know each other in advance."    

"Alright, they are waiting for me outside. Let's go together."    

Summer drew back her arm, holding the bag over her shoulder to avoid any more intimate contact with Anthea.    

The calm smile on Director Ji's face stiffened as she watched the two of them leave. "Summer, summer, I really want to see how you can succeed. You want to use Shengde's name to make your own brand.    

When the summer finds out that there's nothing she can do, she will peacefully be a housewife. At that time, Pei Yichen will be surrounded by elite goddesses, and she believes that Pei Yichen will one day be tempted. That day will be the day when he abandons the summer!    

She would only be able to be at peace with herself if she was forever a nobody during the summer.    

Sometimes, people were just like this, they were very afraid that the person they had offended would stand in front of them one day and let them look up. That feeling was too piercing, as if their fate was already beyond their control.    

Director Ji lowered her eyes and quietly went back to her desk, taking care of the final matters before the holidays. She did indeed have a younger sister that was the An clan's Young Mistress, but as long as old woman An didn't die, her younger sister would have to endure for a day. She would do her best to not cause trouble for her younger sister and not let anyone get a handle on her.
