Captured Hearts: The Substitute Bride’s Gambit

Chapter 34: Chapter 34: Invitation Letters? I’ve Got Quite a Few of Those Chapter 34: Chapter 34: Invitation Letters? I’ve Got Quite a Few of Those “Wen Nianyou, just because you don’t have an invitation, do you think nobody else does?”

Lin Chuyi said as she took out an invitation from her bag, “Indeed, you can’t get in, but I can.”

Wen Nianyou couldn’t believe it; she exclaimed, “How could you possibly have an invitation? That’s impossible!”

“I don’t just have one; I have quite a few!”

As she spoke, Lin Chuyi took out two more invitations from her bag.

“What?! You actually have three!”

Wen Nianyou’s expression shattered, unable to accept it!

She didn’t have a single one!

She had been trying to buy one all month, even bidding up to a million, but no one was willing to sell it to her. After all, those who could obtain an invitation wouldn’t lack that million.

And Lin Chuyi casually took out three?!

Hen Peizhu’s face was full of astonishment, “Where did you get so many invitations? These couldn’t possibly be stolen again by you, could they? You’re really a habitual offender!”

Qi Yunfan frowned, “Chuyi, why have you stolen again? I’ve already said such behavior is not good, can’t you change?”

Lin Chuyi was accustomed to these words, her face calm, but Su Shan was nearly driven mad by their accusations. Angrily she said, “What nonsense are you spouting? Just because you can’t produce an invitation, you accuse us— accuse Lin Jie of stealing! This wasn’t stolen; it’s hers!”

It was laughable indeed, a bunch of ignoramuses. The boss’s office is full of these, and these three were just casually taken by the boss before leaving!

Wen Nianyou was even angrier than Su Shan, retorting immediately, “If these weren’t stolen by her, then these invitations must be fake! It’s not possible for one person to have three invitations!”

“Do you think the invitations for this exchange meeting are worthless, something you can just fake? You dare to forge invitations without knowing anything, aren’t you ashamed?”

Hen Peizhu sneered, “They really are bottom-dwellers, lacking both insight and brains, only having a pretty face. They even dare to forge invitations of such caliber, and to forge three at once, aren’t you afraid of bursting from your deceit?”

Turning to her son, she took the opportunity to lecture him, “See? A person’s background is too important. When parents are of the lowest class, their children won’t learn any decency, only sneaky, shameful misdeeds.”

“Look at Youyou, she would never do such things. So, in choosing a wife, one must select someone like Youyou—upstanding and noble!”

“Some people, no matter how beautiful, can’t conceal the disgrace within. No one would want such a person because it’s embarrassing!”

Qi Yunfan looked at Lin Chuyi with disappointment. Although he had been reluctant to break up, now he felt fortunate to have done so. If he were to bring her out in public in the future, he might feel very embarrassed—it was more prestigious to be seen with Wen Nianyou.

Su Shan, who had never witnessed these people’s true colors before, was shocked. She asked Lin Chuyi, “Sis, have they gone mad? They seem to lack intelligence. Who would forge an invitation?”

Lin Chuyi gave a faint smile, pleased with Su Shan’s cleverness, even knowing to call her “sister” and not “President Lin.”

She handed an invitation to Su Shan and, looking at the remaining two, said, “We have one extra. Tear it up, it’s of no use anymore.”

Su Shan was just about to tear it when a girl, who was watching the commotion, rushed over, “Sister, can you give me the invitation? I’m willing to pay!”

Su Shan didn’t dare to decide on her own and instinctively looked towards Lin Chuyi.

Lin Chuyi nodded generously, “You can have it, for free.”
