It was a well-known truth that one could not wake a person who was pretending to be asleep.
Maybe, she's just like that.
At least, when she pretended they would say a word or two, but if she acknowledge the truth wouldn't they completely shunned?
No, she don't want that kind of outcome.
A month later after that, Lu Qingfeng showed up and said to her. "Are you scared? Why don't you start changing yourself first."
Maybe saying that to her was merely a convenience to Lu Qingfeng, but to Leng Ruoxue, it was an extremely large grace.
Lu Qingfeng was the man who gave her hope in the dark.
To her, he was simply her knight in shining armor; the one who would get her out from this castle- no, prison; the one who would save her from the dragon breathing down her back.
Lu Qingfeng was like the prince in those fairy tale, the one who would save the princess...
...
Meng Ruoxue used to like Lu Qingfeng because of that part, but now remembering the last chapter-
Meng Ruoxue finally rip that d*mned book apart.
"I wouldn't have been satisfied even if I had torn up and trashed the book twenty time over..."
...
Meng Ruoxue really couldn't help but compare Leng Ruoxue to Ji Chiran.
To Meng Ruoxue, Ji Chiran was nothing but a weakling who only rely on Lu Qingfeng.
Unlike Ji Chiran, Leng Ruoxue was a character with so much depth and development.
"All Leng Ruoxue wanted was to be loved." she whispered to herself. In a way, Meng Ruoxue saw some similarities she bore Leng Ruoxue.
Meng Ruoxue's parents divorced when she was 7 years old. But when she turned 15 years old, her mother died so the custody was passed to her father. Just like Leng Ruoxue who returned after 10 years in the Leng family, she also felt that she don't have any place there anymore.
Meng Ruoxue shook her head from that thought. She had been busy the past days and had barely enough rest. Being a CEO was not all rose and candy-like what people thought. She was currently planning how to celebrate her own birthday tomorrow, again.
Meng Ruoxue found herself tearing up again. Leng Ruoxue's life was simply made to make Ji Chiran shine brighter. All her sufferings and struggles existed to end up benefiting the main lead. Meng Ruoxue, it was just a novel.
Just a novel...
It was only a novel... So why the heck was she still at 11:30 pm unable to sleep and sad over Ruoxue's death?
With the night air getting colder and her eyes getting heavier, she placed the book that she ripped on the side drawer beside her bed and gave into slumber.
If I would have know that I would end up being placed in a similar situation, then I would definitely ripped it up even more.
One eventful spring day...
I have become Leng Ruoxue.
...
The Charity Ball was taking place in the most famous five-star hotel. The whole setting is almost palatial, has a grandiose interior design, and provides a very classy ambiance.
The people they've been waiting for finally arrived. Everyone who has been chatting a while ago turned to look back at the doorway as soon as they heard people gasping and chattering among themselves.
Leng Ruoxue entered the ballroom with Chu Yan- the third male lead.
Chu Yan was wearing a red and black dinner suit with his hair neatly combed backward to create a debonair look.
Leng Ruoxue was wearing a apricot-colored dress. It lightened Leng Ruoxue's fair skin and accentuated her slender waist. Even with just the softest touch of make-up, Leng Ruoxue had an ethereal presence about her. The moment she stepped into the ballroom, she attracted many people's attention.
The others are completely caught off guard. Though the two of them appears to be not paying attention to their surroundings since they were talking. They look so picture-perfect that all spectators can't help but watch with astounded expressions. Anyone who sees them will think that they were couple-
No, a power couple, even.
What's more, there's Leng Ruoxue in her sleeveless dress, captivating men and women alike.
"Is that... The Eldest Miss of the Leng family? Didn't she go abroad?"
"Oh, that's right. There have been a rumour that she's back but... I didn't expect it to be true..."
"But... Was Leng Ruoxue really that beautiful?" someone suddenly asked.
After hearing that. Everyone went silent. Leng Ruoxue's face didn't changed... But the air emitting around her seems different.
In the past, the air emitting around her was naivety and innocence that did not suit her.. But now, it was different. The air emitting her arrogance and confidence. The only missing was the word 'I am the Queen' stamped across her face.
A confident smile with a confident air around her. It was simply a sight to see.
"President Leng, why didn't you tell me that you have such beautiful sister?" Jiang Hei began ranting like someone who had missed a golden opportunity.
Jiang Hei is a photographer and also a prominent professional who owns a modeling agency as well as manufacturing company that specializes in imaging and optical products such as lenses and cameras.
"She is such a rare piece of art, President Leng."
"That's a photographer for you. Always has a keen eye for beauty." one of the guest quipped.
"No one can deny that though. That lady is simply gorgeous and stunning." someone else commented.
"President Leng is really lucky to have such sister. She can be a model, you know!" another suggested ebulliently.
Leng Shu'er who was beside Leng Ze Yun was stupefied by the sudden turn of events. Just a moment ago, these people keep praising her, but now they keep praising Leng Ruoxue...
In the past, people would mock Leng Ruoxue everytime she would go in this kind of event, saying she's not worthy. But now, they were singing compliments for her endlessly- as if she's a peerless beauty. Well, she can't blame these people though, since Leng Ruoxue was indeed a peerless beauty.
Hearing these people praising Leng Ruoxue, Leng Shu'er can't help but tremble from anger.
As if those hadn't shaken her enough, the other guest in the room also had shower Leng Ruoxue with praises and flattering words, striking her speechless.
"Yes, a model...!" Jiang Hei then suddenly exclaimed as if he just came up with the brightest idea he had think of from his entire life.
"Miss Leng Ruoxue can become a very impressive model, President! Can I have her in my agency?"
And Alas, Leng Shu'er feels like fainting.
But Leng Shu'er immediately got her composure back.
Leng Shu'er was in fact also astonished and awed for a moment when she saw Leng Ruoxue.
But of course, she would never admit that. She would never admit that Leng Ruoxue could actually outshine the most attractive celebrities she met. Hell, she would not even admit that Leng Ruoxue had such perfect toned and perfect figure that just seemed to overflow with sexual appeal.
