Chapter 273: Chapter 273: She is not a Substitute
The hand gripping the edge of the table tightened, her fingertips almost digging into the wood.

She forced the words from her throat, “What does that have to do with me?”

“What does it have to do with you? Don’t tell me you don’t even know what scent lingers on your body?” Bai Wei sneered, “Mr. Jie likes you, but only because the scent emanating from you is similar to mine. To put it bluntly, he’s just substituting his feelings. Now that I’m back, you’re nothing!”

“I don’t believe it.” Qin Youxuan lifted her head, staring at her firmly.

People could lie, but feelings didn’t lie.

Dan Hanjie treated her so well, he absolutely did not see her as a substitute…

She was not a substitute.

But he had mentioned before that she smelled really nice…

He had also said that she was his medicine…

What exactly was going on?

Qin Youxuan clutched her chest, taking deep breaths, feeling a suffocating pressure in her chest.

She shoved Bai Wei aside and stumbled out of the room.

If she stayed in this place that reeked of him, she would lose her mind.

“Mr. Jie is so distinguished, haven’t you ever wondered why he never tolerates any scandalous gossip, let alone coming close to any woman?” Bai Wei yelled at Qin Youxuan’s retreating figure.

Seeing Qin Youxuan stiffen, Bai Wei laughed coldly, “That’s because his heart belongs to me. If he didn’t think I was dead, you would never have had the chance to get close to him!”

“…”

Qin Youxuan’s body swayed, she clenched her teeth and took a step to leave.

Downstairs, there was not a soul in sight.

Even Yao was nowhere to be seen.

Qin Youxuan exited Yujing Villa in a daze, no one stopped her.

It was as if once Bai Wei returned, everyone’s attention was focused on her and no one realized that she had already left Yujing Villa.

Really, just as Bai Wei had said, was she just a substitute?

But didn’t anyone ask her if she was willing…

Qin Youxuan crouched down on the side of the road, hugging her head like an abandoned child, her eyes red, looking at the desolate surroundings, suddenly feeling a chill running down her spine.

Only when her legs went numb did she slowly rise from the ground and start walking aimlessly ahead.

…

Dan Group.

“Mr. Jie.” Yao stood below the skyscraper and quickly opened the car door when he saw Dan Hanjie coming out.

Dan Hanjie, with his towering physique, sat down straight in the back seat, and casually unbuttoned the collar of his shirt, his eyes half-closed, “Didn’t I ask someone to keep an eye on her, how did they let her come back!”

“Miss Bai threatened to kill herself, the guards didn’t dare to stand up to her, they could only let her go. We didn’t expect her to head straight to the airport, even her luggage was prepared, and she came straight back to the country,” Yao reported the circumstances that he had learnt, his stubborn face tightened.

“A bunch of useless people!” Dan Hanjie’s eyes tightened, with a wave of his big hand, he said: “Let’s go home.”

“Yes.”

Yao nodded hastily, started the car, and quickly rushed towards Yujing Villa.

By the time they arrived, the entire Yujing Villa had become Bai Wei’s territory.

Not only did Bai Wei have the maids remove all of Qin Youxuan’s belongings from the main bedroom, but she also moved in her own luggage, brazenly claiming the space as her own.

As if by doing so, it would mean she held a place in Dan Hanjie’s heart.

The butler wanted to dissuade her several times, but Bai Wei had brought her own bodyguards back and her relationship with Dan Hanjie was not negligible, the staff of Yujing Villa didn’t dare to act rashly as they were unsure of the situation.

They could only stand by the side, watching her command the bodyguard to transform Yujing Villa.

One moment she was complaining that the placement of the sofa wasn’t logical enough, the next moment she was complaining that the flowers in the yard were not prestigious enough and needed to be replaced…
