Chapter 18: The Scheming Money-Worshipping Substitute
Li Ruoyao's wedding dress was tailor-made for her by the famous French wedding dress designer Susan. Not only was the style unique, but the price was also very attractive. However, for the Zhou family, it was just a drop in the bucket.

Zhou Congli parked his car and entered the store. He asked the clerk which fitting room Li Ruoyao was in, and then walked over without noticing the hesitant look of the clerk behind him.

He walked into the last fitting room and saw rows of beautifully made wedding gowns, but not a single clerk was there.

There was a hint of doubt in his eyes. He saw the curtain of the fitting room shaking slightly. He walked over and heard a woman's muffled groan followed by an indescribable sound of collision.

Zhou Congli paused and looked at the swaying curtain with a look of surprise on his face.

He paused for a moment, then turned and walked out.

The clerk was slightly surprised to see Zhou Congli come out with a frown on his face, and smiled just the right amount: "Mr. Zhou, didn't you find Miss Li?"

Zhou Congli looked at his phone and said, "Maybe I found the wrong room. I'll call again."

The call was made but no one answered. The clerk noticed his expression and a trace of pity flashed in his eyes.

Zhou Congli suddenly raised his eyes and said, "Besides my fiancée, is my brother here too?"

The clerk was startled: "Ah? Come on, come on." He quickly calmed his expression and said, "Mr. Zhou, have you seen Mr. Zhou?"

Zhou Congli felt that her expression was not right: "Well, who did he bring?"

Shop assistant: “…Uh, this.”

Just at this moment, Zhou Congli's cell phone rang. Zhou Congli took a look and picked up the phone. It was Li Ruoyao. After knowing that he had arrived, she said she would come out to pick him up right away.

After a while, Li Ruoyao and Zhou Ye both came out smiling. Li Ruoyao was still wearing a white wedding dress.

"Congli, you're here? Look, does it look good?"

She walked up to him and turned around. Her rosy face looked gorgeous in her wedding dress.

Zhou Congli raised the corners of his lips: "Not bad."

Zhou Ye rolled his eyes at this time: "Brother, why don't you wait until dark before coming? Ruoyao has finished trying on wedding dresses, and you just come here. You might as well be late on the wedding day."

Zhou Congli's face suddenly darkened a little bit, and he looked at him: "I haven't asked you yet, who did you bring today?"

Zhou Ye was stunned: "Who did you bring with you?"

Zhou Congli said coldly, "I just went to the fitting room. I warn you, don't bring any indecent people to us. Now find a place to stay and I'll settle the score with you later!"

Suddenly, Zhou Ye and Li Ruoyao were startled. Zhou Congli actually went to the fitting room!

Li Ruoyao's heart began to beat wildly. Did she and Zhou Ye... Zhou Congli hear what had just happened?

She felt her heart was about to jump out of her throat, but fortunately he seemed to think it was another woman and did not doubt her. She grabbed Zhou Congli's arm and tried to smile naturally: "Congli, don't be angry, I'm trying on wedding dresses today, please be happy, okay?"

He winked at Zhou Ye and said, "Aye, I want to drink coffee from the shop in the city center. Please buy it for me." Then he sent the man away.

Although Zhou Ye was unwilling, he was shocked by his elder brother's words just now, so he left without saying anything.

Li Ruoyao pulled Zhou Congli to the fitting room: "I want to try something else, can you help me take a look?"
-
Li Ruoyao changed into one outfit after another, and finally pulled Zhou Congli to the mirror and looked at the man and woman in the mirror: "Congli, we are finally getting married. I have been waiting for this day for a long time."

She raised her head and looked at the man in front of her with obsession. His style was completely different from Zhou Ye's, always gentle and polite.

His brows are indifferent and restrained, and it seems that he will never lose control because of other women.

"Congli, are you happy?"

She couldn't help but get closer to him, stretched out her arms, and exhaled from her red lips: "From the courtesy..."

At this time, there was no one in the fitting room. The clerk who was responsible for helping to try on wedding dresses had already left. Li Ruoyao looked at Zhou Congli's cold eyebrows, swallowed her saliva, and pressed closer to him: "Congli, I want to." Zhou Congli smelled a rotten smell on her body, frowned and subconsciously avoided Li Ruoyao's lips: "Wait."

Li Ruoyao's kiss failed, anger flashed in her eyes, and she said in a wronged voice: "Why?"

"We're about to get married, and you still don't want to be close to me?"

She thought of the call that was hung up this morning, "Do you have someone else in your heart?"

"No."

Zhou Congli thought about his words: "No, the wedding is only a few days away--" A tearful face suddenly appeared in his mind, and he choked.

Li Ruoyao was unwilling to give up and pestered him: "From the courtesy, I..."

Zhou Congli dodged, but suddenly his eyes stopped and stared at the red mark on the back of her neck, as if it was bitten by teeth.

"What's going on with your neck?"

Li Ruoyao froze, pushed him away the next second, and touched her neck with her backhand: "What's wrong with your neck?" Her voice was panicked.

She had just told Zhou Ye not to leave any marks. Did he not listen to her? Or was it because he was too crazy last night that he left them? Her fingers were trembling with nervousness.

Zhou Congli's eyes were unpredictable: "There is a red mark on your neck."

"Maybe it's from scratching." Li Ruoyao tried to keep a perfect smile and complained, "I shouldn't have kept my nails so long. Did they turn red from scratching?"

Zhou Congli stared at her, his voice was not calm or angry: "Is that so?"

Li Ruoyao nodded: "Yes, I have to buy some medicine next time. Well, I tried this wedding dress today, and I think it's very good. What do you think? And your suit, is there anything that needs to be altered?" Then she walked behind the curtain and said, "I'll take it off first, so as not to get it dirty."

There was a rustling sound, as if it could cover up the discomfort just now.

Zhou Congli stood there, his facial expression unclear.

After Li Ruoyao came out, the two returned to the reception room of the bridal shop. The manager personally entertained them, constantly wishing them a happy marriage, and then sent them out.

Li Ruoyao was elegant and generous: "Congli, are you going to get busy?"

Zhou Congli: "Well, there's something else. Where are you going? Do you need me to take you there?"

"Well... just now my sister called me and said she was going to hold a bachelor party for me." Li Ruoyao winked playfully, "So I'm single tonight."

Zhou Congli nodded: "Have fun."

Take her to the city center and watch her enter an exclusive club.

While driving and looking at the rearview mirror, he called Zhou Ye, who picked up the phone quickly. He asked expressionlessly, "Where are you?"

Zhou Ye smiled and said, "A-sama, I'm looking for my girlfriend. What's wrong, brother?"

The car braked suddenly, and the driver behind him kept honking and cursing. He held the phone and asked, "Did you go to find Lin Zhi?"

"correct."

Zhou Ye turned the car keys in his hand: "But she doesn't seem to be in school. I heard from her roommate that she didn't go home last night. I don't know what she did."

Zhou Congli thought about Lin Zhi's current situation: "...I just sent Ruoyao to her friend's place. I'm driving now. I hung up."
