On a night 20 years ago, Sister Zhang, who was forced to a dead end by a loan sharks company, was begging on the street with her nine-month pregnant belly. Old lady Shen, who passed by, saw her pitifully asking the driver to send her to Gracen Hospital for work. Three days later, Sister Zhang gave birth to a baby girl in Gracen and named her He Hui.
Sister Zhang's husband was caught because of gambling, and the house was taken away by the creditors. Later, when He Hui was born, she was always in trouble of seeing patients, which made it worse for her. She could only hold He Hui, who was less than a month old, and came to the gate of the Shen mansion, asking the He family to give her and her daughter a chance to live.
Old lady Shen saw that she was honest, so she took her as a cleaner in the Shen's house.
Sister Zhang, who had entered the Shen family, had always been diligent and didn't talk much. She didn't have many things to say, which was very in line with Old Madam Shen's wishes. Old Madam Shen promoted her to serve her and took charge of everything in the Shen family. Later, she treated He Hui as half a granddaughter and sent her to study at the noble school that Shen Muxi and Shen Yuqing had studied in. She was responsible for her tuition since she was a child. She also gave her a BMW when she was in college.
He Hui had always been very grateful to Old Madam Shen before Shen Muxi married Yang Youxin, but this gratitude had disappeared little by little in her secret love for Shen Muxi.
She tried her best to get into a good university, to make herself beautiful and attractive, and to attract Old Madam Shen's attention. But over the years, Old Madam Shen had been looking for all kinds of women to go on blind dates with Shen Muchen, but she had never laid her eyes on her.
When she lost to Yang Henxin, although she was convinced, she was heartbroken. This time, before the old lady asked Shen Muxi to marry a new wife, she did not even consider taking her as a candidate. Her dissatisfaction with the old lady became more and more intense.
In fact, she could move out or do anything for the Shen family, but she couldn't give up on Shen Muchen. She would rather stay in the Shen family and be treated as a maid. As long as there was a glimmer of hope, she was willing to fight for it and wait.
Today was the sixth grade English exam. He Hui went out with a book in her arms. But when she walked into the main room to say goodbye to the old lady, she was stopped by Sister Zeng. "Xiaohui, send the tonic soup in the kitchen to Young Madam's room."
He Hui turned her head and glared at Sister Zeng. "Why do you want me to go? I don't have time."
"Sister Zhang accompanied Old Madam to go out. Everyone in the room is busy. Can't you see it? Or are you afraid of seeing Young Madam's anger?" Sister Zeng was jealous of Sister Zhang being favored by Old Madam, so she had been full of hostility against Sister Zhang and had a bad temper with He Hui.
And what she said was undoubtedly an insult to He Hui. He Hui's face turned cold and she looked at her with disdain. "What do you mean?"
"What else does it mean? Everyone in the manor knows that you have a crush on Young Master, so you are full of hostility against Young Madam?" Sister Zeng deliberately sighed and looked at her with a mocking expression. "You are younger and prettier than Young Madam, but so what? Old Madam just likes Young Madam more than you. You should serve Young Madam well and quickly bring the tonic soup to her. Otherwise, the Old Madam will be unhappy if she finds out."
"Ah, by the way, Young Madam broke the car yesterday. Young Master sent the car to repair it in the middle of the night. It seems that Young Master's love for Young Madam is no less than that of the former Young Madam."
He Hui gritted her teeth and took a deep breath. However, she did not turn around and leave. Instead, she obediently walked into the kitchen and placed the bowl of tonic soup in her hands. She then walked towards the second floor.
Behind him, Sister Zeng sneered disdainfully. "You want to be Big Master's mother-in-law? Zhang Xilan, you don't deserve to be called your own daughter-in-law."
He Hui's hand, which was holding the porcelain bowl, tightened, and there was a raging fire in her heart.
When she walked into the master bedroom on the second floor, Cheng drawing was lazily leaning against the sofa and reading a medical book. She was dressed in casual clothes, with soft hair scattered on her shoulders and a thin blanket on her knees. She looked elegant and quiet.
"Young Madam, your tonic soup is ready." He Hui said in a gloomy voice.
Such an unfriendly voice made Cheng drawing feel curious. He tilted his little face and looked at He Hui, who had an unkind look on her face.
There were a lot of maids in the Shen family. She couldn't remember many of them, but she remembered this girl. Since the first day she joined the family, she had never treated her well.
"Thank you." Cheng drawing spat out two simple words at her. He lowered his head and continued to read the book in his hand.
She was not a person who liked to be harsh on the servants, but she was not a person who was willing to spoil the servants without a bottom line.
Her indifference was undoubtedly another provocation to He Hui. He Hui gritted her teeth and an evil look gradually appeared on her face. It seemed that some plans had to be carried out in advance, when the Old Madam and Madam were not there...
With a bang, the porcelain bowl was placed heavily on the table and half of the tonic soup was scattered.
Cheng drawing was startled, and then the book in his hand was thrown half a meter away by He Hui. She raised her little face and looked at He Hui in surprise.
"Is this little girl crazy?"
"Miss Cheng, aren't you curious why the old lady wants you to marry Big Master?" He Hui looked down at her from above.
In the past few days, Cheng drawing had never looked in the direction of the end of the corridor. He had never asked about Yang Henxin. As long as a normal woman knew that she was serving another woman, she should have a strange reaction, right? So she was sure that Cheng drawing did not know about Yang Henxin's existence and lived on the same floor as her.
"Should I be curious?" Cheng drawing smiled and did not take it seriously.
"Have you ever heard of Yang Henxin?"
"I've heard of it." Cheng drawing nodded with a calm expression. She had heard of this name from Shen Muxi that night when he was drunk.
"Do you want to see her?"
"What exactly do you want to say?" Cheng drawing's expression finally became a little serious as he glared at her unhappily.
"You will know soon." He Hui grabbed her wrist and dragged her to the door of the bedroom.
Cheng drawing was naturally angry by being dragged away by her, but she really wanted to know what the girl wanted to do. Walking out of the bedroom, she turned left. It was a not-long corridor in the air. On both sides of the corridor, there were pink roses, which were fragrant and pleasant.
Cheng drawing had been here for so many days, but he had never stepped on this corridor. Because there was no need, and she was not a person who liked to wander around.
Before she could get used to the situation of being dragged away, He Hui had already dragged her to a carved wood door. She did not knock on the door or inform anyone. He Hui reached out and pushed the door door open. Cheng drawing entered the room passively.
This was an elegant bedroom with a warm color. The sky-blue curtain was half-covered, covering most of the light outside the window. The sky-blue sofa, the sky-blue carpet, the sky-blue bed...
Standing in it, Cheng drawing seemed to be in a romantic ocean world. There was a trace of surprise in his eyes. He didn't expect that there was someone in this world who liked to set his bedroom completely blue like her.
"Isn't it beautiful? It's very luxurious?" He Hui sneered and then pulled her to the sky-blue bed in the middle of the bedroom. She pointed to the woman sleeping on the bed and said, "Did you see that? All this belongs to her. She is Yang Hexin, the woman that Young Master Muyang loves deeply. You must have never seen her, right?"
As soon as she was pulled in, Cheng drawing was focused on observing the color and layout of the room and did not pay attention to the woman lying on the bed. When she saw Yang Hexin on the bed and her face that looked very similar to hers, she was stunned and her heart was stained with astonishment. Her eyes, every pore on her body...
How could it be? How could there be someone in this world who looked so similar to him?
Cheng drawing's legs gave way and she almost fell to the ground. She tried her best to keep her body steady and tried to control her urge to turn around and run away. She looked at the woman on the bed in shock.
She slept so quietly that she didn't move at all. Even when the door was pushed open, He Hui didn't feel the loud noise. As a professional doctor who served the vegetable mother for many years, Cheng drawing was soon sure that the woman in front of him wouldn't wake up.
It turned out that it was her who lived in the Shen family's mansion, but her wife knew nothing about it!
Cheng drawing turned his eyes to He Hui, trying to get more information about the truth from her.
However, He Hui didn't let her down. She sneered with a cold face, "Do you think that the old lady is sincere to you? Do you think that the young master dotes on you because he loves you? Stop dreaming. If it weren't for your face, you wouldn't be able to enter the Shen family in your next life. Yang Hexin is the wife of the young master, the one he truly loves, and..."
"Wait a minute!" Cheng drawing stretched out his hand to grab her sleeve and begged her to continue. Her heart beat faster, and her breathing gradually became hurried.
She knew that Old Madam Shen didn't really treat her well, and she also knew that Shen Muchen didn't love her. She always thought that they were looking for a mother for the sake of the Shen family's incense. She just happened to have a weakness in their hands, but she didn't expect it to be like this at all.
It turned out that the old lady chose her because she had a face that was almost similar to Yang Henxin's. It turned out that Yang Henxin had been living with Shen Muxi all the time. It turned out that she was serving another woman!
"What's wrong? Don't you want to know the truth? There are still many things that you don't know." He Hui tried her best to shake off her hand and smiled cruelly. "By the way, did you think the young master bought you the Ferrari you drove yesterday? My dear young lady, you are so naive. Four years ago, the young master bought it for his beloved wife. The day before yesterday, when the old lady asked the young master to bring the car back for you to drive, the young master was so angry that he gave it to his lover. Can you imagine how unwilling he was to give it to you? But you broke the car on the first day."
"Have you said enough?" Cheng drawing finally could not help but take a few steps back. He leaned on the armrest of the sofa with a pale face.
The red Ferrari belonged to Yang Henxin? It actually belonged to Yang Henxin!
It was no wonder that after she broke the car last night, Shen Muxi was so angry that he drove out overnight to repair it.
No wonder she said that the car was the same as it used to be four years ago. It turned out that it was bought by Shen Muxi for Yang Henxin four years ago. God! She actually drove Yang Henxin's car and broke it.
Looking at Yang Youxin's peaceful sleeping face on the bed, Cheng drawing only felt a chill run down his spine, and all the hairs on his body stood up.
However, He Hui did not intend to let her go so easily. She followed her with a sneer and stared at her closely. "I'm sorry, I haven't finished yet. I haven't told you how much Big Master and Yang Hexin love each other. You must have never thought that they have known each other since they were young. They have loved each other for more than ten years. The next day after Big Master returned to China, he went to the Yang Family to propose marriage. On the 10th day, he held a grand wedding."
After finishing her words, He Hui turned around, leaned over, grabbed Yang Hexin's shoulders, and shook them hard. She shouted in a low voice, "Yang Hexin, did you see that? Your Shen Muxi is going to be taken away by this woman. They are already married, and there will be children soon. How long do you want to sleep? Aren't you anxious at all? You..."
"Don't push her!" Although Cheng drawing's limbs were weak and his head was aching, he still couldn't help but rush up to save Yang Hexin from her evil claws when he saw He Hui rudely pushing a patient.
He Hui sneered at her. "What's wrong? Are you afraid that I'll wake her up? Are you afraid that she'll steal Young Madam Shen's throne when she wakes up? Are you afraid that she..."
He Hui suddenly stopped speaking. Her eyes, which were looking at Yang Hexin, gradually showed a touch of surprise, and then instantly became frightened.
"Yang Youxin... you...!" He Hui couldn't help but take a step back and stared at Yang Youxin in astonishment.
She thought that she had seen wrongly, so she rubbed her eyes hard with her hands, but she didn't see wrongly. Two drops of clear tears really fell from the corners of Yang Hexin's eyes.
This was something that had never happened in the past four years, something that had never happened before!
Cheng drawing also saw the tears in the corner of Yang Henxin's eyes and was also shocked. However, she was not as scared as He Hui. After He Hui turned around and escaped from Yang Henxin's bedroom, she gradually calmed down and did a simple check-up on Yang Henxin with her professional attitude as a doctor. She found that Yang Henxin did not show any signs of waking up.
Cheng drawing carefully pulled up the quilt for her, and tears rolled out of his eyes. He stared at her peaceful sleeping face and whispered, "I'm sorry, I don't know anything."
