Maybe she was too tired, Yao Jingjing slept very deeply this night, and when she woke up, it was already the morning of the next day. When I looked at my phone, it was already past nine o'clock, and she had slept for so long, Oh, wouldn't it be rude to get up so late? Without thinking too much, Yao Jingjing hurriedly washed and changed clothes.

Walking out of the house, Yao Jingjing walked in the villa of Nuoda in a panic, looking around, she was looking for Sergei's figure. She didn't know anyone here, and only by staying by Sergei's side could she feel a little safe. Unconsciously she walked to a staircase, and wanted to go downstairs, but a super-large oil painting on the wall of the corridor attracted Yao Jingjing's attention.

Yao Jingjing stopped and looked intently, this oil painting painted a beautiful woman, this woman looked like she was in her thirties, her golden hair was coiled behind her head, her face was painted with delicate makeup, and she was wearing a pale yellow suit, the whole person looked so graceful and luxurious, dignified and magnificent. However, from the eyebrows and eyes of the woman in the painting, Yao Jingjing has a sense of déjà vu. If you look closely, the woman's eyes in this painting are exactly the same as hers, except that the eyeballs are of a different color. Yao Jingjing was puzzled, and after looking carefully, she found that she was somewhat similar to the people in this painting, with small round faces, sunken eye sockets, and a high nose bridge. Of course, how can she have a beautiful family, and when people look at her, she is a typical Russian beauty, how can she compare with others!

Who is the person in this painting?

Just as Yao Jingjing was immersed in the oil painting, an untimely female voice sounded.

"Ma'am, you shouldn't be here."

Yao Jingjing turned her head to look at the sound and saw the housekeeper, Vera, walking towards her, with an expressionless face, cold eyes, and a voice without warmth.

"Vera, it's you."

"Madam, the boss instructed this morning, saying that Madame was too tired yesterday, let's not disturb Madame's rest, so we didn't wake you up for breakfast."

"Thank you, I was really tired yesterday and woke up late today. By the way, where is Sergey? ”

"The boss went out to meet friends, and it is estimated that he will come back in the evening."

Yao Jingjing nodded knowingly, slightly disappointed. In this big house, Sergei was not there, she was uncomfortable staying here alone, and the housekeeper named Vera in front of her made her feel uneasy, and she always felt that Vera was hostile to her.

"Ma'am, I'm afraid you'll have to get used to that."

"What? What to get used to? ”

"The boss doesn't like to stay in the manor, so he basically goes out every day to meet guests, have dinner with friends, ride horses, hunt and fish, and come back every day when it gets dark."

"yes, I can't see that he has so much energy." The disappointment in Yao Jingjing's heart added a little more.

"Madam, I saw you staring at this painting just now, do you know who the woman in this painting is?"

Yao Jingjing turned her head and glanced at the person in the painting, shook her head, and said, "I don't know." Who is she? ”

"She's the boss's dead wife, and she's called Lilia."

Yao Jingjing's eyes widened, staring at the person in the painting in disbelief, at this moment she fully understood why Sergei wanted to marry her, and chased her all the way to China, and did not hesitate to spend 5 million, for a long time, Sergei just wanted to buy a stand-in for his deceased wife, and specially named her the same name as his deceased wife - Lilia. Before that, Yao Jingjing naively thought that Sergei really wanted to marry her because he liked her. All this, how ridiculous!

Seeing Yao Jingjing's shocked face, Vera secretly hooked the corners of her lips, she had achieved her goal, and she guessed that the Chinese woman in front of her didn't know the truth at all.

Vera continued to stimulate: "She was originally called Lilia Ivanova, grew up with her boss, graduated from the Russian Department of Moscow State University, and later married her boss, changed her name to Lilia Sakalov, and has been at home since marriage. She has a deep relationship with her boss, and after she passed away, her boss couldn't get out of the pain for several years, and lived like a walking corpse. ”

"She, how did she die?" Yao Jingjing had recovered from the shock.

Referring to how Ivanova died, Vera's brow furrowed and replied, "Died of illness." ”

Yao Jingjing didn't ask any further, and nodded knowingly.

"Madam, I have to remind you, our villa has two staircases, this is the west staircase, this staircase is for the boss, no one else is allowed to use it, even Madame. Everyone can only go up and down the stairs from the east side. This was set by the boss early in the morning. If one day the boss sees you here, he will be angry. ”

"Okay, I got it."

"There is one more thing, which is also important. This villa has three floors, and the westernmost room on the third floor is forbidden land, and the boss does not allow anyone to approach that room. ”

"Why? What's in that room? ”

"Madam, don't ask, just do it. Remember, don't do things that upset your boss. ”

Yao Jingjing was stunned, she suddenly felt that this place seemed to be full of mystery, and there would be no danger!

"Alright, ma'am, I have something to do, go first, you can come to me if you need anything. I'll have the maid deliver it to your room for lunch. The estate is huge, you can walk around, get acquainted with the terrain, and if you get bored, you can go to the farm. With that, Vera ignored Yao Jingjing and turned to leave, with a contemptuous smile on her face. In her opinion, the Chinese woman in front of her is mediocre-looking, where is she qualified to marry the boss, and the boss doesn't know what she likes about her, is it because she looks a bit like the former lady? Unreasonable.

Saying goodbye to Vera, Yao Jingjing returned to the room reluctantly, and the whole person collapsed on the bed like a deflated ball. Yao Jingjing carefully recalled the scene of the first time she met Sergei, and at that time Sergei said that she looked like a friend of his. After engaging in it for a long time, this friend was none other than Sergei's deceased wife. It's really cunning, why don't you just say that she looks like her own dead wife?

Knowing the truth of this marriage, Yao Jingjing had mixed feelings in her heart, she was a little disappointed in Sergei, and she was also a little lost. I thought that maybe I really met someone who liked me, even if this person was a foreigner and an old man! Unexpectedly, after all, she was self-inflicted. From beginning to end, Sergei didn't have the slightest true affection for her, and even if he did, it was for his deceased wife and had nothing to do with her. This marriage was a deal from start to finish!

Yao Jingjing sighed helplessly, feeling stuffy in her chest, but even if she knew the truth, what could she do? Is it time to stop the loss in time and part ways with Sergei? How could it be! If she wants to break up, she has to return the 5 million, but how can she be willing to return it! The magic power of 5 million is too big, it's easy to eat it, but it's too difficult to spit it out!
