After Five Years as a Substitute, Shouyue Left, but Mr. Fu Started Crying

In Lu Chengan's fifth year as a substitute, the real deal, Pei Luo, returned to the country in a blaze of publicity. He stole Lu's clothes, splashed hot tea on him, and even forced him to take the blame for his own monstrous crimes.

The CEO, Fu Nanyin, held out a check from on high. "Go in for two years, and I'll give you fifty million when you get out. Don't push your luck."

Lu Chengan calmly pulled out a fountain pen. "Fine."

Fu Nanyin thought he would never escape her grasp.

Then, three days later, the Financial Bureau thunderously froze Huanyu Xinghui's accounts, and the royal law firm personally led the charge to take them down.

Fu Nanyin frantically searched all over Hong Kong, only to find his file completely blank. The man she'd lived with for five years had vanished without a trace!

They met again at a handover ceremony at Hong Kong's highest-security deepwater port.

The once-arrogant CEO knelt below the stage, gazing at the man she used to trample underfoot, now the sole head of the Huo clan, who controlled the lifeline of Minghai Bay.

In a secluded corner of the hallway, Fu Nanyin crashed to her knees, sobbing her heart out. "Chengan, I know I was wrong... I'll give you everything the Fu family owns! I'll go keep watch over your mother's grave! Let me be your substitute, okay?"

Huo Chengan expressionlessly took a step back, avoiding her reaching fingers, then casually tossed the white-gold cuff link she'd soiled into the trash.

"Ms. Fu, I'm not you."

"I find you disgusting."
