In the past, Luo Hongying stabbed Mo Shiche's mother to death and framed her for it, then used this as a pretext to have her committed to the asylum, where she bribed the nurses to torment her daily in various ways. They even scarred her butterfly birthmark with a knife, declaring her a demon.
She often had to swallow her grievances when Luo Hongying framed and plotted against her, for she feared it would leave a bad impression on Mo Shiche. Yet, somehow, Mo Shiche would always happen to witness her confront Luo Hongying afterward.
In the past...
Whenever she thought of these two words, she felt as if those twenty-two years of her life had been wasted—
It was because she loved Mo Shiche too much. Every time she was around him, she would deliberately suppress her true character and pretend to be obedient and docile, as gentle as a kitten, not knowing this very pretense was what he despised and detested most.
That was not the color that Luo Qiangwei should have worn.
And now...
No matter why she could return to this day over a year ago, since God had given her another chance at rebirth, she shouldn't repeat her past mistakes.
She vowed to live out the true colors of Luo Qiangwei, to take revenge for her murdered child and her shattered life!
...
Luo Qiangwei had been standing backstage for less than ten minutes when someone came to find her, asking her to get ready to toast at the banquet.
She was now the bride at this wedding, an indispensable role.
Looking at herself in the mirror, Luo Qiangwei took a deep breath, patted her stiff cheeks, and walked out.
She went upstairs to the dressing room, and as expected, the scene was just like her previous life—
The girl who was supposed to help her dress had vanished, leaving behind a note saying she had gone to the restroom because of a stomachache. Of course, it was just an excuse.
There was a beautiful bright red embroidered off-the-shoulder gown hanging on a rack nearby, which she was supposed to wear for the toasting ceremony.
But when she happily changed into it and went out, Luo Hongying would be wearing an identical gown, causing her to lose her temper and make a scene. Then the dress, tampered with in advance, would slip off her body, exposing her to everyone's eyes, making her the big joke of the Mo Family in Jiang City.
It was this incident that deepened Mo Shiche's disgust and rejection towards her, resulting in his refusal to pay her any attention after the marriage, even to the extent of avoiding appearing in public with her.
Of course, all of that was in her previous life. Now, she was no longer the headstrong, impulsive Miss Luo Qiangwei who knew nothing but anger.
Luo Qiangwei picked up the bright red gown and carefully examined it, indeed finding that the buttons on the back and at the waist had been loosened considerably. If she wore it and made any significant movement, it would immediately slide off.
How bold of them, she inwardly chided her past self for being so careless.
On second thought, because she had always been careless, Luo Hongying surely wouldn't have taken much effort to hide their plans...
With that in mind, she immediately searched the fitting room and quickly found a bag hidden under the wardrobe.
Inside was a gown identical to her own, intended for Luo Hongying to wear later!
As the old saying goes, "Tooth for a tooth"...
Luo Qiangwei's beautiful cat-like eyes narrowed slightly as she reached for the scissors on the table—
...
The wedding banquet continued with great festivity.
Dressed in a bright red gown, Luo Qiangwei descended the stairs to the central main table of the hall.
Sitting in the place of honor was a dignified and elegant white-haired old lady, the most respected matriarch of the Mo Family, Mo Shiche's grandmother.
