Not long afterward, once he had drunk some alcohol, Zhang Lexuan had called him into the restroom. He could not remember what happened next, only that after a tidal wave of pleasure engulfed him, everything went black and he passed out.

When he woke again, things were already as they were now.

Looking at Zhang Leyao in front of him, he instantly grasped something. "Leyao, listen to me. This is all a misunderstanding. I'm innocent. Someone deliberately set me up. Leyao, believe me."

Song Shiwei silently counted to herself. [First blood!]

"Believe you? Believe what? That you weren't messing around with my brother?"

Li Yongyan choked at that, then changed his story. "I was framed! Leyao, I'm a victim too. You're the only woman I've ever loved, Leyao! I even had a vasectomy for you."

[Double kill. Incidentally, he has no sperm. He never had a vasectomy.]

Mrs. Li suddenly staggered, then snorted. "You had a vasectomy? Dare to come to the hospital with me to get checked, Mr. Azoospermia?"

Li Yongyan froze. He had kept his condition tightly hidden from this love-brained woman all along. How did she know he had azoospermia?

[Wow! Mrs. Li actually knows? Why does she feel like the final boss behind the scenes?] Song Shiwei muttered inwardly with some admiration.

Zhang Leyao froze for a moment, silently snarking, Thanks, I know too.

Li Yongyan had not expected his sob story to suddenly stop working on the love-brained Zhang Leyao. His eyes shifted. "Zhang Leyao, this is all your fault! I've sacrificed so much for you, and all you ever give me is a sinecure. You won't even bear me a child! You forced me to cheat. You're the one who deserves to die."

[Triple kill. All three hit the mark. Bro, so you found a man to have a baby with? Don't be so fucking ridiculous. Besides, you have no sperm-how the hell are you supposed to have a child?]

"You have no sperm. How the hell are you supposed to have a child? You're destined to have your bloodline die out!" Zhang Leyao snorted, showing him no mercy.

Li Yongyan was struck speechless by Zhang Leyao's sudden furious retort. Beside him, Zhang Lexuan finally spoke. "I won't let you insult my husband like that."

"You old hag! You're the reason I can't be with my husband openly."

Song Shiwei had truly had her eyes opened. [??? Wait, has this sis lost his mind? Calling him his husband right in front of the man's wife? Sis Li, slap him across the face!]

Everyone from the wealthy families cast approving looks at Song Shiwei. The idea was crazy, but it really would be satisfying.

"Zhang Lexuan, I'm your sister! How could you! Shut your mouth. Don't make me slap you." Even Zhang Leyao's hands were shaking. She still could not believe her own brother could do such things.

But what little bond of blood remained still made her choose to settle this after they went home.

Song Shiwei furrowed her brows slightly and muttered quietly, [Zhang Leyao, haven't you noticed that your brother looks a little different from before?]

Everyone from the wealthy families widened their eyes again. How had another juicy revelation arrived before the last one was even over?

Zhang Leyao: ???

She had not thought so before, but now that Song Shiwei mentioned it, she really did notice a slight difference. Her brother had fallen and hurt his mouth when he was little, leaving a small scar beneath his lip. The person in front of her had no such scar.

Could it be...

Zhang Leyao hardly dared believe the thought in her head, yet felt that this was the only explanation that made sense.

She turned to look at Song Shiwei, who was sitting primly in her chair without so much as glancing their way, her fingers tapping frantically at her phone. Then she heard Song Shiwei's voice.

[What juicy gossip. What a roller coaster of juicy gossip!] Song Shiwei said excitedly to herself. [So the one that bastard Li Yongyan fell for was the real Zhang Lexuan?! The current Zhang Lexuan is just a

stand-in

*?]*

"Honey~ This old hag insulted me, and she wants to slap me. I'm so scared." Zhang Lexuan had just nestled into Li Yongyan's arms, ready to act cute, when a voice suddenly exploded inside his head.

A stand-in? Zhang Lexuan? What?

[Oh wow, President Li likes sunny, handsome guys with abs. He's been lusting after Zhang Leyao's brother all along, but her brother wouldn't give him the time of day. So he simply found a stand-in who looked just like Zhang Lexuan. He even made him wear Zhang Lexuan's clothes and play basketball, and forced a bottom to be a top. Hahahahaha, I'm going to die laughing!]

A stand-in?!

He was utterly stunned and instinctively looked at Li Yongyan beside him. What he had heard matched exactly what Li Yongyan had made him do. He did not like playing basketball or wearing those basketball jerseys, and he liked living under the same roof as Zhang Leyao every day even less.

He had even forced himself to top for Li Yongyan, only to turn out to be a stand-in?!

[If this stand-in had so much as looked at the name engraved on his ring, he wouldn't have been deceived this badly.] Song Shiwei quietly enjoyed the gossip.

He had always known about the letters engraved inside the ring: zlx. He had thought they were his own initials, never imagining that they stood for Zhang Lexuan.

Zhao Lixing, who had still been nestled in Li Yongyan's arms a moment ago, now had no reason left to defend him. He sprang out of his embrace and slapped Li Yongyan across the face. "Li Yongyan, you bastard! May you die a horrible death! You lusted after your brother-in-law and made me his stand-in! While Zhang Lexuan was away teaching in the countryside without a signal, you had me impersonate him and move into your home. Are you even human?"

"You bastard! And here I wholeheartedly believed you loved only me. I wanted to help you drug this old hag and get rid of her. I topped for love! Do you know how much I suffered?!" He struck Li Yongyan as he denounced him.

Only then did Zhang Leyao piece together the whole story. That bastard Li Yongyan had taken advantage of how difficult it was to communicate with her brother while he was teaching in the mountains, finding someone who looked exactly like him to impersonate him and move into her home.

It had been a year or two, yet she had not noticed a thing. She had even happily believed it. Just how stupid was she?

No one from the wealthy families had expected yet another reversal. The course of events was gradually descending into madness.
