166 Li Xiwu’s Suspicion: Is She Really A Substitute?

The lonely single ward was broken by Li Xiwu’s shout when she woke up from her dream in the early morning. Tears slid from her eyes for an instant, but she didn’t know.

The fuzzy ceiling, the unpleasant smell of disinfectant. The scenes she had seen in her dream were still so clear in her mind when she woke up.

There was also that calm and elegant gentleman who lovingly called her—Little You.

Li Xiwu’s breathing tightened. She had a splitting headache and subconsciously raised her hand to her forehead. When her fingertips touched a layer of gauze, she looked around the entire ward in a daze. At that moment, she lost her memory for a moment and actually forgot what she had experienced. Why was she in the ward and how her head was injured.

A few seconds later, Ah Yue’s surprised voice sounded—

“Sister!! You’re awake?”

Li Xiwu turned at the sound. Looking at Ah Yue’s innocent and simple face in front of her, her memories quickly flashed back and surged into her mind.

Ah Yue was very excited to see Li Xiwu wake up. He stood up and approached the bed. “Sister, are you hungry? Oh, no, you just woke up and want to drink water. Sister, wait. I’ll get you some water.”

At this moment, Ding Wei also walked in. When he saw that Li Xiwu was about to get up from the bed, he quickly went forward to help her. “Miss Li, you just woke up. Lie down first.”

Li Xiwu looked up and asked, “Where’s Han Qianye?” She even forgot the address and said her name.

Ding Wei replied, “Your mother-in-law is fine.” Seeing that Li Xiwu did not look convinced, Ding Wei said solemnly, “Your mother-in-law is really fine. Not only is she fine, but she could jump too.”

With that, Ding Wei added, “In comparison, Miss Li, your situation is even more serious.”

Li Xiwu asked again, “What about the others?”

Ding Wei replied, “Only Miss Tao has a slight concussion. She woke up when she was sent to the hospital last night. She’s fine. The others are fine. They’re all fine.”

Li Xiwu closed her eyes. “I’m glad they’re fine.”

Ding Wei’s heart ached. “You’re only thinking about others. Why didn’t you ask about yourself?”

Li Xiwu pursed her pale lips. “The fact that I can wake up and talk to you all fine means that I’m fine.” With that, Li Xiwu raised her hand to her forehead again, wanting to confirm the exact location of the wound.

Ding Wei immediately blocked Li Xiwu’s hand. “Try not to touch your forehead first. This is the place you hit last night. Although it has been stitched and bandaged, it will definitely hurt when you touch that spot.”

Actually, it didn’t just hurt. She didn’t have to touch it with her hand. Just talking hurts. She obeyed Ding Wei, dropping her hand for the moment.

Ah Yue fetched her water. Ding Wei adjusted the lift of the bed so that Li Xiwu could sit against it. She held the glass of water and sipped at it. When she was silent, her mind did not empty. Instead, she thought about the scenes of that dream. She wondered why she had such a dream.

Everything that happened in the dream seemed to have nothing to do with her. But if the person in the dream was really her father, why did he call her Little You?

Madam Di Xin recognized her as Little You.

Yu Hewei recognized her as Little You.

Everyone in the Pei family knew that she was a substitute for Little You.

A moment later, Li Xiwu put down her glass and took a deep breath. At this moment, a terrifying thought couldn’t help but pop into her mind—

Was she really a substitute? Was she a substitute for the person everyone thought?

Turning everything that had happened in the dream into reality must have been another misunderstanding. But this time, it had happened in her dream, which meant that it was not a misunderstanding. Otherwise, none of this would make sense.

“Sister?”

“Sister?”

Ah Yue raised his hand and waved it in front of the dazed Li Xiwu.

Li Xiwu came back to her senses and looked at Ah Yue. “What’s wrong, Ah Yue?”

Ah Yue said, “Those two directors came in.”

Li Xiwu looked up. When she saw Director Yu and Director Gao standing at the end of the bed with concerned expressions, she realized how distracted she had been just now. She had not heard the two of them enter at all.

Gao Yueban asked with concern, “Miss Li, other than your head, do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?”

Li Xiwu pursed her lips. “Thank you for your concern, Director Gao. I’m fine.”

How could Gao Yueban bear Li Xiwu’s gratitude? After all, such a big thing had happened and the production team was still suppressing it.

Other than him, Yu Jing, and Ding Wei, there were a few other photographers who knew about Li Xiwu’s injury. Other guests did not know about it.

Everyone knew that this matter could not be kept a secret forever.

They were just waiting for Li Xiwu to wake up so that they could straighten their attitude and explain. This was to prevent everyone from rushing into the ward to disturb her rest when they found out that Li Xiwu was injured.

Gao Yueban took a few steps towards the bed. Some nervousness was reflected in his constant rubbing of his hands. “Miss Li…”

Li Xiwu’s gaze slowly moved from Gao Yueban’s hand to his face.

Yu Jing looked at Gao Yueban who did not say a complete sentence for a long time, so he took the initiative to say, “Miss Li, it’s like this. The other guests don’t know about your injury yet.”

With that, Li Xiwu frowned.

Yu Jing thought that Li Xiwu was angry and quickly said, “Last night, your situation was urgent. Han Qianye also needed to be checked, so I didn’t tell her about your situation. I thought I’d tell everyone this morning. Everyone will probably come to see you later.”

Yu Jing finished speaking in one breath. He looked nervously at Li Xiwu’s expression.

Li Xiwu said nothing and turned to look for her phone.

Ah Yue quickly handed Li Xiwu a broken phone. “Sister, are you looking for this?”

Li Xiwu took the phone. “Thank you, Ah Yue.”

Ah Yue scratched his head in embarrassment. “You’re welcome, Sister.”

Li Xiwu looked down at the shattered phone screen. She didn’t need to remember to know that the phone had followed her when she fell last night.

Gao Yueban and Yu Jing watched nervously as Li Xiwu opened her phone. They wondered if she was going to call President Pei to complain.

Oh no, oh no.

However, the two of them had no complaints. They had indeed not handled this matter well. They were thinking the worst.

After Li Xiwu finished looking at her phone, she put it down and said, “Let’s suppress what happened last night as much as possible. If the other guests are unwilling, follow their opinions.” At this point, Li Xiwu paused and pursed her lips before continuing, “However, the show can be delayed for a few days before it’s broadcast. Let everyone rest first.”

With that, Li Xiwu noticed that Director Yu and Director Gao’s expressions had turned to disbelief. But what was even more unbelievable was yet to come.

Li Xiwu endured the pain in her head and continued, “I hope everyone will keep my injury a secret. Since they don’t know yet, when you ask, just say that I have something on and have to go back first.”

Gao Yueban disagreed. “That won’t do, Miss Li. We have to talk about this.”

If they didn’t say anything, the others would definitely think that Li Xiwu was too selfish. She didn’t care about the others in the car accident and left first. He could not bear to see Li Xiwu suffer like this!
