Noooooooooooooooooo
Xue Lili jolted out from the bed terrified with beads of sweat on her forehead
Was it just a dream??
But she could still feel the burning sensation on her skin but her skin was clear as crystal
A thought flashed through her mind
Startled, she checked the calendar, it was the tenth day of July in year xxxx
Her whole body trembled,she had been reborn to three years ago on her supposed engagement day to Lu Xun
In her past life, on this day she was framed by Lu Xun and Qin ranran
The aura around her became suffocating and filled with a killing intent as she vividly remembered what really transpired
They were really out to tarnish her reputation and make her embrass herself
All she could remember was ranran offering her a lemon juice and her drinking it and nothing afterwards
Later she found herself on a bed with two burly figures besides her awoken by the loud excited chatters of the reporters
Momentarily blinded by the bright flashes of the camera, she was bewildered by the scence happening in front of her.
Realizing what was happening, she screamed at them to get out but this aggravated the reporters as they frantically shoved their microphones to her face asking her embrassing questions
Then suddenly Lu Xun barged in like knight saving the damsel in distress and saved the day but her reputation was never saved
She was known as a second hand and Lu Xun as the considerate husband
Looking back now, she was such a fool as this was a well planned scheme by those bastards. Well she wasn't going to fall victim again
A knock from the door jolted her to reality
"Sleepy head wake up" came a stern voice yet with a hint helplessness and indulgence
Hearing this voice, tears welled up in her eyes
Xue Lili jumped out of the bed and opened the door
You silly girl, don't you know that...before her mom could finish reprimanding her, she gave her a hug
Perplexed, her mother patted her back wondering what came over her daughter
"Mom, I've decided not to get engaged to Lu Xun again"
"But I thought you love him", her mom said carefully while still caressing her afraid of igniting her emotions
She has been aware that her parents were against her engagement to Lu Xun but had to accept because of their daughter's feelings
" Don't worry mom, I'm going to strip their fake faces off"
"Okay baby, come downstairs for breakfast"
Seeing her mom go downstairs, she happily hummed a tune and walked into the bathroom
...soon she was down and went downstairs
Ouuuuuuuu, she gushed while swirling
"Mom,you made my favourite.....egg rice and duck soup", she said while approaching her mom, she giggled happily
"Stop behaving like a spoiled child and eat quickly", her mom weakly reprimanded
"We have to go for the Lu's family banquet"
" Sure mom" said Xue Lili with an inscrutable expression
Feeling something off, her mom took a double look at her
Sensing her mother's gaze on her, she calmly collected her thoughts and put in a cheerful expression
" Oh my gosh mom" Lili facepalmed
"I don't have a dress to wear"
Don't worry, a package arrived for you for the Lu family - Lu Jingze
Lu Jingze, the possible successor of the Lu Conglomerate. An illegitimate son and brother to Lu Xun. Rumours had it that he was ruthless and a cold demon king feared by everyone including his family
Thinking about it, he wouldn't have made it this far in the power struggle if he didn't use under-handed means
"What could he possibly want with me", Lili wondered.
Hm, this is going to be more interesting than I imagined
"Lili Lili" Xue mother shouted for the umpteenth time
"What are you thinking about?
hurry or we're gonna be late"
"Yes mom "
With this said, she ran upstairs to get dressed and soon it was time for the main show.
