"Ye Si, why don't you just go and die? Third Master doesn't love you. The one he loves is me!"
"Today's engagement banquet was just to fulfill his grandfather's last wish. As soon as Old Master Xi dies, he'll dump you and marry me!"
"Hah! So what if you are a young lady of noble birth! If you can't win a man's heart, you're worse than trash!"
The nauseating voice kept reverberating in her head. Ye Si opened her eyes abruptly and saw a bright dressing room.
In the mirror, she saw she was dressed in a white evening gown. The dress, which had tiny diamonds embedded at the bosom, accentuated her exquisite and perfect collarbones. Her fair skin was sparkling. There was a gift box on the table. It was an engagement gift she had carefully prepared for her fiancé, Xi Zhimo.
Her former best friend, Wang Qingyu, was leaning close to her ear, rambling malicious words non-stop with a smile lingering on the corner of her mouth.
Ye Si was all too familiar with this scene. It was the day of her engagement ceremony with Xi Zhimo!
A year ago, Wang Qingyu had deliberately provoked her in this way. Later, Xi Zhimo would come in and witness Ye Si slap Wang Qingyu. Wang Qingyu took advantage of the situation and fell to the ground and bled all over the floor. She then wept and denounced Ye Si for murdering the child that belonged to her and Xi Zhimo!
Ye Si had begged Xi Zhimo to stay with her until the engagement banquet ended. She had even threatened to die, but the man was cold and heartless, totally unmoved.
In the end, it was under Old Master Xi's coercion that the two forced themselves to put on a good show, pretending to be a golden couple.
In fact, the upper-class social circle in the Empire Capital had long known that Third Master Xi, who was the youngest person in control of the XEE Group which ruled the business world, didn't like Ye Si at all!
He kept another woman outside. That woman was Ye Si's best friend, Wang Qingyu, a real-life Cinderella from a low-income family.
From the beginning to the end, this engagement had been Old Master Xi's long-cherished wish to return a favor, as well as Ye Si's unilateral wishful thinking.
In the end, not long after Old Master Xi passed away, Ye Si was kidnapped and thrown into the sea to feed the sharks. She didn't even know who the murderer was until her death.
It was only the day before her death that she found out that the child in Wang Qingyu's tummy did not belong to Xi Zhimo at all. Today's drama had been meticulously planned by Wang Qingyu all along.
Xi Zhimo had only agreed to marry Wang Qingyu because he mistakenly thought that he had gotten entangled with her after he had been drugged that night.
In fact, the person he had gotten entangled with that night was Ye Si!
However, Ye Si had loved enough, and she was tired of it.
Fortunately, the heavens had eyes and gave her a chance to be reborn!
In this life, she was no longer a pitiful creature that others could manipulate at will!
She wanted to locate the person who killed her in her previous life and dye the sky red with her enemy's blood!
When she thought of this, Ye Si came back to her senses and threw the gift box into the trash can callously. She looked at herself in the mirror and smiled faintly.
That smile was chilly and evil, causing Wang Qingyu to lose focus for a moment.
"Ye Si, are you deaf? Didn't you hear what I just said?" When she saw that Ye Si didn't respond, Wang Qingyu continued to speak angrily in a low voice next to her ear.
Ye Si looked at the time and stood up gracefully and calmly. She looked directly at Wang Qingyu with her lovely almond-shaped eyes and said with a faint smile, "There was an annoying fly buzzing around just now. Do you want to tell me again?"
Wang Qingyu crossed her arms in front of her chest and said arrogantly, "I said the one Third Master loves is me. You're just a piece of trash! After old man Xi is dead, he'll immediately dump you and marry me! How about it? Are you jealous of me? Hit me if you dare!"
Outside the door, Xi Zhimo stood still, and his hand which was about to grab the door handle remained suspended in mid-air.
How was it he had never realized that the gentle, well-behaved, considerate, and sensible Wang Qingyu had this other side to her?
The man had a handsome face that could capture the hearts of all living creatures. Every one of his facial features seemed to be carefully crafted by God. However, his expression was extremely unpleasant at this moment.
Inside the room, Ye Si gave a smile.
She went straight to the door of the dressing room and opened it. Her eyes met a pair of ice-cold eyes that were as deep as an abyss. Her beautiful face was filled with disdain. "Third Master, you are here? "
These words were meant for Wang Qingyu's ears.
Wang Qingyu looked at the doorway when she heard this. Her face, which had been meticulously beautified with makeup, turned pale. "Third Master, I… Ye Si forced me to say those words just now!"
The corners of her eyes were damp and her expression was one of panic as if she had suffered some great grievance.
Ye Si's lips curled up and she laughed softly. "Did I point a knife or a gun at you? Even a retard wouldn't believe your nonsense. How blind I was in the past to be friends with a lowly scumbag like you who was not even qualified to carry my shoes!"
"You… you…" Wang Qingyu was rendered speechless by Ye Si's words.
"What are you yammering about? I say! You're really stupid. Don't you know how to fall down on your own when I don't make a move? You are even prepared to fall and cause the child in your tummy to die to snatch someone else's fiancé. A creature like you, who's worse than trash, makes me feel nauseated if I look at you for even one second."
Ye Si turned around and left after she finished speaking. Her graceful figure and chilly, beautiful demeanor embodied a sense of innate elegance and nobility.
She walked quickly because she had more important things to do at the moment.
From the beginning to the end, she didn't even look at that man.
