While Su Yaya was lost in thought, playing the role of a distressed side character, she didn’t pay much attention to the argument between Shen Xiuqi and An Yuting outside. However, she was jolted by An Yuting’s shrill voice.

“Brother Xiuqi, how could you do this to my sister? You promised you’d treat me like a real sister. Is this how you show your loyalty? Who is this Su Yaya? Why are you comparing her to me? She only resembles my sister. Everyone knows she’s just a substitute!”

Su Yaya couldn’t help but agree with An Yuting’s outburst. She was indeed An Yuting’s substitute and was fully aware of her position.

Shen Xiuqi had only pursued her because she resembled An Yutong. He sought to transfer his feelings onto someone else and chose her as a convenient option. The marriage was a contractual arrangement, allowing him to inherit his grandfather’s billion-dollar fortune. It was a practical choice, and he had little interest in putting in extra effort, so he settled for her.

Moreover, their marriage was only formalized through a secret contract, known only to a few key individuals. The plan was to eventually divorce once the time was right!

At the moment, their situation was complicated by Shen Xiuqi’s greed. When the original An Yuting returned, everything would come to an end.

Su Yaya was aware of this, but as a side character, she didn’t let it bother her too much. She simply aimed to enjoy her days as best she could.

However, the plot took an unexpected turn.

Shen Xiuqi suddenly shouted, “Get out. Don’t let me see you again.”

Su Yaya, hiding in the lounge, flinched at the outburst, and An Yuting, the target of Shen Xiuqi’s anger, was visibly shaken.

“Brother Xiuqi…” An Yuting was terrified. She had never seen him this angry before. He was far more intimidating now than when she had interrupted his conference, so she timidly addressed him.

“Get out!” Shen Xiuqi roared again, his fury palpable. The force of his voice seemed to shake the room, and Su Yaya, still hidden, felt her heart race with anxiety.
