    ☆, Pretender 3

    Every morning around 6:30, old man Zhao Hong wakes up.As people get older, they feel lighter. Moreover, when he was young, he worked too hard and got up before dawn every day. Now he has formed a habit.The servant who had served him for more than 20 years had finished washing him. He picked up the agarwood cane at hand and tapped the head of the cane on the ground twice: “Go downstairs.”

    At this time, in the dining room where they usually dine, the children of the Zhao family were all gathered together. They had been waiting for a long time. Before anyone arrived, everyone had already stood up: “Dad (Mr.), good morning.”

    Yao Ji stood next to Zhao Nuo, the second position on the left. Zhao Hong walked over slowly and sat down on the main seat before everyone sat down again.She had long heard that although the children of the Zhao family received Western-style education, Zhao Hong was still a Chinese-style patriarch at home. When she saw them today, it was indeed the case.

    In the Zhao family, everyone at home must have three meals a day on time and order. If Zhao Hong doesn’t come, the meal can’t be served.There are also many rules at the dinner table. You are not allowed to talk. Each dish must be eaten by an elder before you can eat it… There are many etiquettes, and they are even more stringent than those in the old days.Fortunately, Yaoji has been a lady of a small family and a lady of a great family, so she can handle the banquet with ease.

    What is rare is that the Zhao family, whether it is the fourth son Zhao Yao who grew up abroad, or the eldest granddaughter Zhao Xinyi who is less than six years old this year, all behave in the same manner.The silent meal ended quickly. Although there were thirteen people at the table, probably no one was relaxed or happy.

    After eating, it’s time to go to work or go to school.There are now three people in the Zhao family involved in the group’s affairs, namely the second son Zhao An, the third son Zhao Nuo and the eldest daughter-in-law Chen Zhenzhen. Because Zhao Hong’s health is getting worse, his secretary also lives in the Zhao family most of the time.Several people were about to help the old man get into the car when they saw a silver-gray Bentley slowly sliding in. The door opened. The man in a suit and leather shoes walked steadily with a smile. The silver tourbillon on his left wrist was like his whole person, full of calm and restrained temperament.

    “Looks like I’m late, I’m so sorry.”

    He walked over, and Zhao Hong, who had always been unsmiling, actually gave him a cheerful hug: “Ahao, you have to punish yourself with three drinks tonight.”

    “Definitely…”

    This person must be Shen Hao.Yao Ji recalled the pile of information that Zhao Nuo gave her. As Zhao Hong’s lawyer, she was deeply trusted by him. This could be seen from his position at the table – although Shen Hao had been away from Xiangjiang during this period because of a business trip, no one sat on the chair belonging to him at the breakfast table today.That’s the third one on the right, even before Zhao Hong’s children.No wonder Zhao Nuo said that this person was not a simple person, a highly respected lawyer. Before Zhao Hong was about to make a will, there was no doubt about his importance.

    The Zhao family undoubtedly understands this truth. Both Chen Zhenzhen and Zhao An came forward to greet he warmly, but Zhao Nuo, who was always smooth and graceful, stood aside with a smile on his lips and no intention of moving his “noble foot”.

    What kind of medicine is this guy selling in the gourd?Although Yao Ji was puzzled, she always looked like a gentle daughter-in-law – this was the style that pleased Zhao Hong the most. If she screwed up, that bastard Zhao Nuo would definitely be chirping again.

    Of course, with such little acting skills, it is impossible to defeat Yao Ji. Zhao Hong is indeed very satisfied with this new daughter-in-law, and specially introduced her to Shen Hao: “You have not gone out to have a drink while you are away from home, so the gift cannot be less. Come, Yiyi, this is a rich man, you can make more money with him, and see if he dares to come to his house to eat and drink in the future.”

    The conversation made everyone laugh. Yao Ji has always been impeccable with her words. Because of the homework that Zhao Nuo did for her, the old man’s temperament was also accurate. Following Zhao Hong’s words, he said: “Dad said so. It’s unfair for Mr. Shen to call you. Aren’t you the biggest rich man here?”

    Chen Zhenzhen came to her senses and joined in: “Sister-in-law Three is right, and dad really loves Sister-in-law Three. He really loves Sister-in-law Three and wants Ahao to pay for it.”

    Zhao Hong was flattered by Yao Ji, his old face smiled like anus, he pointed at Yao Ji and Chen Zhenzhen and said: “You two naughty guys, you even have ideas about me, an old man,” and then said to Shen Hao, “Look at the choice of my daughter-in-law.”

    There was no one who didn’t agree with Shen Hao. For a while, everyone was talking and laughing, quite harmonious, and they were like a model big family.Only Yao Ji heard her second sister-in-law Xu Yuan snort, she lowered her eyes and pretended not to hear anything.

    Finally, the old man drove away in the car, and the tiring drama of “father is kind and son is filial, brother, friend and brother are respectful” came to an end.Xu Yuan went back to her room and ignored Yao Ji at all. She was happy to be quiet.

    She’s current fake identity is that of a fashion designer. She has been living overseas all year round. After graduating from Saint Martin’s, she worked in country B. She has only now returned to Hong Kong to open a studio.It doesn’t matter whether the daughter-in-law of the Zhao family works or not. There are many young ladies in the wealthy circles in Xiangjiang who go to beauty salons, walk their dogs and play cards every day, but Yao Ji doesn’t want to stay in the Zhao family all day.

    Not to mention that her marriage to Zhao Nuo was a scam, and that home also made her feel uncomfortable in every way.Everyone is wearing a mask, and we are talking about the Zhao family. If you really want to find someone who indulges in sexual indulgence, I am afraid that the only one who snorted at that time is Xu Yuan.

    But Yao Ji can’t be Xu Yuan, not because she doesn’t want to, but because she can’t.

    “Let’s talk, Miss Yi Yao.”

    The man didn’t seem to notice the look of surprise on her face at all. He slowly put out the cigarette butt and patted the chair beside him.

    “You…”

    After saying one word, Yao Ji was at a loss as to what to say next.”You know everything”?Or “what do you want”.It’s not like she hasn’t considered the situation of being discovered by the victim when committing fraud. For her, that might be another form of relief.

    But it’s different now. What Zhao Nuo said was a name that only three people in the world would know.Even except for the leader Mr. M, the other two people in the gang don’t know her name.

    “You…who are you?”

    “Very smart,” Zhao Nuo smiled, but there was no smile in his eyes, “You thought of it so quickly? Although Zhao Nuo is rich, he can only run rampant in Xiangjiang at best. With his identity, how can he investigate the fraud master who has committed many major fraud cases, but the victims have always chosen to remain silent, and so far has not left any clues to the police, Ms. Yi Yao.”

    This answer made Yao Ji’s heart plummet. It was just a test at first, but she got such an answer. But this man is not Zhao Nuo, who is he!The young and promising talent of the Zhao family, a rising star in the business world who is reported by the Hong Kong media every once in a while, the third son of Zhao Hong, Zhao Nuo, who is known as the Third Young Master, who… is he?
