Cheng Xin had lived in the slums for so long. Without some ability, she could not survive.
She quickened her pace and quickly darted into an alley.
Clack clack clack—
The sound of hurried footsteps could be heard.
"Where is she?"
"She clearly ran into this alley just now!"
....
"Ahh—"
After a few muttering sounds, screams rang through the night sky, but it returned to calm.
Cheng Xin jumped down from the wall and quickly knocked a few bodyguards to the ground. She gave them a few more punches, clapped her hands, and walked out of the alley disdainfully.
Could she still be Cheng Kun's bodyguard with this kind of ability?
She was really as useless as Cheng Kun himself.
Cheng Xin was a little tired after causing a ruckus in the banquet hall, mainly because of her rumbling stomach.
She regretted not having eaten more in the banquet hall.
Cheng Xin didn't want to go back to the rose garden. She turned around and walked into a convenience store, wanting to buy some delicious food to fill her stomach.
The pier on the West Bank of Qingcheng Lake was empty.
On the south bank stood the proud Lakeside Hotel—Cheng Xin had just celebrated Cheng Wei's birthday there.
On the other hand, the east bank was the most prosperous place in Sea City. It was still brightly lit, forming a sharp contrast with the west bank, almost completely pitch black.
Cheng Xin suddenly felt that people were just like the scenery on the shore?
Cheng Wei was the south coast, the east coast, and she represented the west coast.
A trace of loneliness flashed across Cheng Xin's eyes, and she was no longer as arrogant as before.
She took out a can of beer from a plastic bag and a small cake.
Today was Cheng Wei's birthday, and it was also hers.
When the Cheng family found her, they discovered that she had her birth date, which was exactly the same as Cheng Wei's. Even the time.
It was thanks to that that she became Cheng Wei's shield.
When they were in the Cheng family, Cheng Wei's birthday was a big day for the Cheng family every year.
They would hold birthday parties at home or in hotels, and Cheng Xin would be locked in her room, not even getting a piece of cake.
However, today, she finally got her revenge.
She ruthlessly let Cheng Wei have an unforgettable birthday.
However, the few bites of cake she ate were Cheng Wei's.
Cheng Xin gulped down the beer, and for some reason, the tip of her nose felt a little sour.
"Cheng Xin! Happy 21st birthday! You'll definitely have a bright future! If you have a family, may you all be prosperous!"
Chengxin raised her beer and shouted to the lake under the moonlight.
After shouting, Chengxin found it funny.
She opened the small cake, held it in her hand, and began to sing the happy birthday song in a low voice.
"Happy Birthday to you... Happy birthday to you..."
For some reason, the more she sang, the more desolate she felt.
At the song's end, Cheng Xin was still a little choked up.
She thought it was too cool to humiliate Cheng Wei today, and she was also very excited.
Cheng Xin randomly ate the small cream cake and drank another beer.
It was dark all around, and only the sound of the waves of Qingcheng Lake could be heard, like a gentle lullaby.
Cheng Xin opened another can of beer and drank it with a gulp.
Before she was sent to the slums at the age of eighteen, Cheng Xin had been a good girl and had never touched a drop of alcohol.
Three years in the slums, however, and what emerged from the ashes was a phoenix.
All of this was just the beginning of her revenge.
Although the alcohol level was low, drinking too much would still cause dizziness.
Cheng Xin had drunk too quickly and was already a little dizzy.
In order to sober herself up, Cheng Xin stood up from the bench and walked to the lakeside.
The night breeze by the lakeside was chilly, and it was precisely because of this coldness that she was able to clear her head.
The colorful lights on the east bank reflected in the distant lake like a gorgeous painting of a demon, baring its fangs and brandishing its claws, attracting people to fall into it.
That was a place that Cheng Xin had never been to before.
Just as Cheng Xin woke up, a shadow gradually approached her, and then a strong force came from behind her.
Splash—
The ink-like water stirred up waves.
Cheng Xin was born a hydrophobic. She fell into the water and struggled desperately as she tried to call for help. However, the water mercilessly poured into her mouth and nose.
She struggled desperately, but it was all in vain.
The water was like a big hand, strangling her throat and covering her mouth and nose.
Soon, the suffocation spread throughout her body. She could no longer struggle, and her consciousness became increasingly blurry.
Was she going to die like this?!
