Lovely Substitute Bride

Unlike the cold outside, her house was warm, which made the reporters who came in behind her feel refreshed. They looked around Soong Yaru's house.    

It was the first time Jiang Guowei's home had been exposed to the media.    

However, it was very different from the first time Luan Zhi came!    

All the valuables that were originally on the Bogu shelf had disappeared, and what replaced them were pots of flowers and plants with lush foliage. It was a perfect place to grow!    

"Please take a seat over here. I'll go and pour some tea for everyone!"    

Soong Yaru pointed at the sofa in the reception area and walked into another room.    

Luan Zhi and Fann Leeming looked at each other and sat on the sofa.    

Seeing that Luan Zhi and Fann Leeming didn't say anything, the reporters also sat down beside the two of them in silence.    

Thankfully, the reception area was very spacious. There were a few couches arranged so that everyone could sit down, yet not a single bit of extravagance could be seen!    

To give the reporter the impression that this was the home of a clean and honest official, full of frugality, without a trace of the smell of copper!    

The reporters nodded their heads repeatedly, looking at Luan Zhi with a strange expression.    

Luan Zhi didn't care about that. She was trying to figure out what was going on!    

Min Ann'ge's source should be very reliable!    

If so, it must have leaked the news that Jiang Guowei knew they were coming, which was why he let Soong Yaru go ahead of time. But how could Soong Yaru cooperate with him like this!    

If it was really like Luan Zhi had predicted, then it would be too chilling!    

Soong Yaru was carrying a tray with several cups of tea on it. The tea leaves were boiling in the transparent glass cup.    

Those with vast experience would recognize him long ago!    

What was in the cup were just ordinary tea-leaves from Longjing. Even these reporters could afford them.    

"Please have some tea!"    

Soong Yaru placed the teacups in front of everyone and sat down with a smile on her face.    

Luan Zhi wasn't in the mood to drink the water, but she was carefully observing Soong Yaru's expression. Even though she could tell that there was a trace of fatigue on her face, she still felt pretty good about it.    

Her acting was this good?    

"I wonder what business do you have by visiting me today?"    

Soong Yaru was like a well-mannered lady as she asked with a faint smile. Her gaze shifted between the few of them before finally landing on Luan Zhi.    

"Oh, I was thinking about the fact that I haven't seen you in a long time, that's why I took the liberty to pay you a visit! I hope I didn't disturb you? "    

Luan Zhi said.    

Soong Yaru looked at the other unfamiliar faces in puzzlement. Although she had never seen them before, but the cameras and recording pens in their hands had already exposed their identities.    

"Then what about them?"    

Luan Zhi quickly explained,    

"Oh, these people are my friends. I heard that Mayor Jiang Guowei is running for governor, so I came over to interview Mayor Jiang."    

Fann Leeming quickly said.    

Luan Zhi nodded, agreeing with him.    

Soong Yaru smiled humbly.    

"Thanks to all of you, my husband is upstairs in his study reading a document! I'll call him down. "    

As he spoke, he stood up.    

Luan Zhi stood up as well. She couldn't hold back her guess any longer and hurriedly said,    

"Are you alright?"    

Soong Yaru's body froze. It was only after pausing for a moment that she turned around. A smile suddenly appeared on her face.    

"It's fine, I'm fine!" "Thank you for your concern!"    

There were some inexplicable emotions in her eyes that Luan Zhi couldn't see through.    

"He didn't hit you?"    

Luan Zhi blurted out as she suddenly recalled the sight of her injured arm in her office.    

Soong Yaru slowly shook her head and suddenly turned around. At an angle that the others couldn't see, large tears suddenly rolled down her face. However, her tone was calm without a trace of trembling as she said,    

"I'll go get Guowei for you guys."    

And then he ran away from the scene.    

The reporters looked up at the frozen Luan Zhi, not knowing what to say.    

Luan Zhi stood there in a daze, looking at Soong Yaru's back. She sighed in her heart and then sat down in disappointment.    

Fann Leeming pulled Luan Zhi's sleeve and whispered:    

"Maybe there's some sort of secret."    

This was just a word of consolation to Luan Zhi. He knew that if Soong Yaru was behaving like this, then today's trip would have been in vain!    

Not only was he unable to find any evidence against Jiang Guowei, he might even get beaten by him and help him to announce how poor he was and how much he loved his people!    

Luan Zhi did not have any reaction. Thinking about Jiang Guowei, who was such a cunning old fox, the anger in her heart burned hotter and hotter.    

How crafty was he to convince Soong Yaru to stand by his side? The superficial work had already played a very good role!    

Looking at the few reporters, they kept using the cameras in their hands to take pictures of the decorations in Jiang Guowei's house.    

"Welcome, welcome! I, Jiang, have come late. Please forgive me, everyone! "    

Jiang Guowei laughed and came down the stairs, Soong Yaru a few steps behind him.    

When he appeared on the stairs, everyone stood up except Luan Zhi, who was still sitting.    

Jiang Guowei acted as if he didn't see her and walked straight in front of them. He warmly reached out his hand and said:    

"I did not welcome you from afar, I did welcome you from afar!"    

He shook hands with everyone who was standing, and the smile on his face was so sincere!    

One of the reporters lightly patted Luan Zhi's shoulder, indicating that she should stand up.    

However, Luan Zhi continued to sit there, as steady as a mountain. She didn't even bat an eyelid.    

On the other hand, the reporter looked a bit embarrassed.    

Jiang Guowei waved his hand and his loud voice echoed in the living room:    

"There's no harm in doing so! Come on, let's all sit down and talk. "    

Looking at the cups of tea in their cups, Jiang Guowei turned around and said to Soong Yaru behind him in a friendly manner,    

"Go and get everyone some tea."    

Then he turned to look at everyone.    

Soong Yaru responded, then picked up the kettle from the table and bent over to refill the teacups.    

"I was busy with official business and did not arrive in time. I am very sorry. What do you guys want to interview? "    

Jiang Guowei leaned on the sofa and said to the reporters. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Luan Zhi silently. He sneered in his heart!    

A reporter said with a fawning smile:    

"I don't dare, I dare. Mayor Jiang is busy every day, but we came uninvited, sorry for the inconvenience!" Please forgive me, Mayor Jiang! We came to make a special visit for Mayor Jiang to let the people know him better. "    

"That's right, that's right. You're running for governor. Looking at the votes, you're at the top. It means that the people have a lot of trust in the mayor!"    

A few reporters were used to taking advantage of the situation, constantly smiling and flattering!    

Jiang Guowei's smile became more and more pleased with himself. While he was talking humbly, he was also talking to the reporters about all the "achievements" he had made in the past few years!    

After Soong Yaru gave everyone some water, she walked into the room.    

No one noticed her, as the reporters were all focused on Jiang Guowei.    

Having lost the point of domestic violence, they had finally found something worth reporting, so they obviously wouldn't let it go.    

"She's acting so well!"    

Luan Zhi suddenly said coldly.    

The sudden sharp voice made everyone who was happily discussing stop and turn their heads to look at her.    

Fann Leeming was a little nervous inside. He was afraid that Luan Zhi was too unyielding and would be displeased by these reporters. It was obvious that these reporters had been confused by Jiang Guowei's appearance. Now that she opened her mouth, it was equivalent to becoming enemies with these five!    

However, Luan Zhi couldn't help but feel angry inside, wanting to tear open Jiang Guowei's hypocritical facade!    

Jiang Guowei awkwardly laughed twice and said:    

"Miss Luan, although you and I have misunderstood each other, you don't have to be against me all the time. My original intention was to become friends with Miss Luan. After all, they didn't get along after a fight! Let bygones be bygones! "    

Luan Zhi could only feel waves of disgust as she retorted.    

"Misunderstanding? Whether it is a misunderstanding or not, you and I both know this very well! On the other hand, even though you often beat your own wife, you still placed her under house arrest. Now he was pretending to be human! "I've truly been taught a lesson!"    

Jiang Guowei's expression slowly darkened. He pointed at Luan Zhi and said,    

"Miss Luan, even if we can't be friends, there's no need for you to splash dirty water on me, right? Do you still remember how you randomly placed Chief Zhao Ruifeng's mistake on my head? "    

Luan Zhi clenched her fists.    

"Whether it's true or not, we just need to ask the person involved and we'll know!"    

Jiang Guowei sneered. Great! Ya Ru, come out! "
