Chapter 10 I Am Not Tang Wan 2.0

Author: Chunfengyidu
"Your makeup looks really good today."

Elizabeth Black's face instantly turned red at a visible speed.

The next second, Rupert Washington seemed to have suddenly thought of something and added, "Next time, don't wear makeup for such occasions."

Elizabeth Black was taken aback. "Why?"

Rupert Washington fastened her seatbelt. "It's all a bunch of men; you’re just giving them something to admire for free."

Elizabeth Black couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Rupert Washington briefly introduced some of his friends in the car.

They were mostly influential figures in their respective fields.

Just as Will Tennyson had said, there was a vast gap between her and Rupert Washington.

Elizabeth Black felt like she was in a dream, looking at Rupert Washington beside her, suddenly feeling a sense of unreality.

"What are you thinking about?" At a red light, Rupert Washington turned to look at her, noticing that she seemed distracted.

Elizabeth Black shook her head.

The influence of her upbringing made her somewhat insecure about this gap.

But she didn't know how to express it to Rupert Washington.

Rupert Washington, thinking she was nervous, held her hand. "It's okay, it's just a small gathering. You can follow me and not say anything if you don't want to."

"Mm." Elizabeth Black nodded.

She probably wouldn't be able to contribute much to the conversation anyway.

At 7:30 PM, they arrived at the reserved private room in the bar.

Most of the group were already there, and when they saw Rupert Washington bringing Elizabeth Black, they immediately started teasing.

"Bro, you’ve got some skills! You found such a pretty sister-in-law without saying a word!"

Larry Agnes's family ran a chain of bars and nightclubs, and he was an expert at livening up the atmosphere, quickly getting everyone engaged.

Elizabeth Black initially felt a bit awkward following Rupert Washington, but seeing their warm and friendly demeanor, she gradually relaxed.

After a while, a woman in a Chanel suit, with a striking presence and tall figure, entered the room.

Larry Agnes exclaimed, "Joanna Maurice, I called you several times before, why did you come today?"

They were all childhood friends, very familiar with each other.

Joanna Maurice smiled, her gaze sweeping around, pausing on Rupert Washington, and finally landing on Elizabeth Black.

Elizabeth Black sensed that Joanna Maurice had ill intentions, her eyes filled with deep meaning.

A woman's intuition.

She was never wrong.

Then, Joanna Maurice said, "Rupert Washington, did you find a Nydia Leighton 2.0?"

The atmosphere in the room froze for a moment.

Elizabeth Black's lips drooped.

Rupert Washington was also displeased. He handed Elizabeth Black the peeled orange and said to Joanna Maurice, "Joanna Maurice, is there something wrong with your brain?"

Joanna Maurice pouted, but since they often teased each other, no one took it seriously.

Soon, the atmosphere in the room returned to normal.

Except for Elizabeth Black.

She felt suffocated.

Not long after, she went to the restroom.

When she came out, Elizabeth Black saw Rupert Washington waiting outside.

"Not happy?" Rupert Washington asked.

He had the thoughtfulness to come and comfort her, which made Elizabeth Black feel much better.

"Mm, a little," she admitted.

Living in the shadow of being a replacement, she felt a bit wronged.

Her voice was hoarse.

"Joanna Maurice is always like that. I’ve never liked dealing with her. Let's ignore her from now on."

Elizabeth Black nodded.

The dim, ambient lights in the bar highlighted Rupert Washington's sharp features, his jawline defined, and a slight smile playing on his lips, exuding a rebellious charm as he leaned against the wall.

Elizabeth Black's heart skipped a beat.

"I'm not Nydia Leighton 2.0. I'm Elizabeth Black," she said, staring at him earnestly.

Rupert Washington chuckled and ruffled her hair.

"Are you silly?"

But he didn't explain further.

At that moment, someone from the room called Rupert Washington to play cards.

Elizabeth Black didn't want to go back, and she was also feeling unwell due to her period.

"You go ahead," she said. "I’ll go home. My stomach is a bit sore."

Rupert Washington glanced down and understood.

"Wait a moment, I’ll go with you."

Rupert Washington went back to the room to say goodbye to his friends. Elizabeth Black faintly heard someone say, "Don't joke around with the little sister-in-law anymore. She's obviously a good girl."

Joanna Maurice's shrill voice carried out.

"Was I joking? It's the truth, okay!"

"Are you done?" Rupert Washington's voice carried a hint of anger.

Joanna Maurice finally stopped. "Fine, my bad, okay."

Rupert Washington then left with Elizabeth Black.

At 10:30 PM,

Looking at Elizabeth Black, who was already asleep, Rupert Washington pulled her closer, ready to sleep, when a message popped up in the group chat.

Larry Agnes: @Rupert Washington, Bro, is the sister-in-law mad? I didn't take care of her well today.

Calvin Hobson: Joanna Maurice was out of line today. Even if she looks like Nydia Leighton, she shouldn't say it to her face.

Gary Peg: But I'm really curious, did Bro marry her because she looks like Nydia Leighton?

Rupert Washington smirked and replied: No.

Gary Peg: Not? Then why did you get married so quickly?

Rupert Washington glanced at the sleeping beauty beside him and replied: She's cute.

Larry Agnes: @Rupert Washington, Bro, Joanna Maurice wants me to add her to the group to apologize to you and the sister-in-law.

Rupert Washington: Tell her to get lost.

Larry Agnes: OJBK…

The next morning, Elizabeth Black woke up to find Rupert Washington still at home.

According to his usual routine, he should be in his office by now.

He was obsessed with work, spending over ten hours a day on it.

This unusual behavior surprised her.

Rupert Washington waved his hand in front of her. "Lost in thought?"

"Why haven't you left yet?" Elizabeth Black snapped back to reality.

"You weren't feeling well, and there's no one to take care of you at home." Rupert Washington pinched her cheek. "How are you feeling today?"

Elizabeth Black felt a warmth in her heart and gave him a sweet smile.

"I'm all better now, fully recharged!"

Rupert Washington was struck by her sweet smile, feeling a surge of emotion. He stood there for a while, unmoving.

He played with her for a while.

Then Elizabeth Black's phone rang.

The caller ID showed it was Will Tennyson's mother. Elizabeth Black quickly made a shushing gesture to Rupert Washington.

She checked the time; it was only 8 AM, and she could still make it to the airport.

"Hello? Auntie, good morning." Elizabeth Black greeted her while getting out of bed.

"Mm." Sha's mother's Mandarin had a local accent. "I’ve boarded the plane. What are you doing?"

Elizabeth Black didn't catch it clearly. "Hmm? Sorry, Auntie, what did you say just now?"

Sha's mother became impatient. "Can't even hear clearly? Is there something wrong with your head? I asked what you’re doing!"

Elizabeth Black was startled by her loud and sharp voice, and her impression of Sha's mother plummeted.

She said, "I'm getting up right now to pick you up."

Sha's mother: "It's already 8 AM, and you’re still in bed? How can you be so lazy, girl!"

Elizabeth Black: "…"

Is the whole Sha family crazy?

But she politely replied, "I’ll come to pick you up right away," and hung up.

Rupert Washington, frowning, asked, "Who called you lazy?"

    "Do you know why I'm called Lin Xizhi?" Lin Xizhi was clearly already half-drunk. She even burped.In fact, the Ling family had no intention of listening to her ramblings when they chased her down here. But at this moment, a hint of sorrow hung on the woman's face, which was strangely infectious, making it hard for anyone to interrupt her."Why?" Ling Beili asked subconsciously."Because the person who named me is an unforgivable scoundrel, who manipulated my life to achieve his revenge, making me be pitied by my own parents and family," Lin Xizhi said.Upon hearing this, Ling Chengyu, who was sitting opposite, suddenly stood up. His eyes were red as he stared intently at Lin Xizhi, "Enough! Stop talking!""I will talk." Lin Xizhi also stood up, "I'm so pitiful, can't I even speak? *Burp...*"She burped again, swaying unsteadily as she stood. Elizabeth Black, who was closest to her, instinctively reached out to support her. This act, however, caused Lin Xizhi to instantly break d

    "How's it going? Have you still not reached Chengyu on the phone?" Ling Beili, who was about to leave for an out-of-town shoot, had to turn back halfway because of Ling Yun's sudden incident and her brother, Ling Chengyu, going missing after sending a Whatsapp message.Elizabeth Black had been trying to call Ling Chengyu repeatedly, but with no success. Ling Beili also tried several times, saying, "In this situation, he either turned off his phone, or it's out of battery, or it's been stolen. Mom, which do you think is more likely?"Elizabeth Black bit her lower lip. "Beili, your brother said he was the one who leaked Lingyun's source code."Before losing contact, this was the message Ling Chengyu left. He said that during his time in Rupert Washington's office, instead of preparing to take over the company, he was familiarizing himself with the internal security system to get the source code.Ling Beili was stunned. "Then he must have turned off his phone himself."Since Ling Che

    Yang Xiaomei tried on a silk scarf in her room and then came out, only to see Lin Xizhi frantically throwing away a manuscript. She seemed to have gone mad. Confused, Yang Xiaomei asked her what was wrong. Lin Xizhi's eyes were blank, her pupils dilated. Yang Xiaomei was thoroughly frightened. She had always felt that Lin Xizhi had a powerful presence, and she dared not meet her gaze. Now, she didn't even dare to speak. She could only watch as Lin Xizhi rushed up the stairs, presumably to find her father. But halfway up, she turned and ran back down. "Xizhi, you... you're not going to see your dad?" Yang Xiaomei asked casually as she saw her rushing out. But Lin Xizhi seemed not to hear her, walking away without looking back. Yang Xiaomei found her behavior strange. Driven by curiosity, she ran upstairs to ask the paralytic about his daughter. Opening the door, she saw the paralytic staring at the computer screen, laughing eerily. On the screen was a
