Sheng Qianxia had forgotten how she even left the hotel.
The December weather was ice-cold and biting.
She felt as though it had also started to snow in her heart.
Falling thick and fast, it overwhelmed her.
He didn't like her, yet still wanted to ruin her.
This was Gong Beiyao, the man she had once liked the most and hated the most.
He was all the thoughts and secrets of her youth.
He was also the cause of all the laughable and sad things.
Her shame, her embarrassment, all were bestowed upon her by him!
A layer of thin mist emerged in Sheng Qianxia's eyes before she realized that it was pouring rain from the sky.
The rain blurred her vision.
The driving rain drenched her from head to toe, extinguishing the foolish affection she had for him in her youth.
Never to like him again!
Never daring to like him again.
She came back to her senses in a daze, only to find that the darkness had turned to light.
He had been entangled with her for an entire night!
Today was the day she was to be engaged to Ling Muye!?
She was supposed to get engaged to Ling Muye, yet she had rolled in the sheets with someone else.
She had never hated herself as much as she did today.
Sheng Qianxia arrived at the entrance of her home.
She didn't even know how to face the upcoming engagement party when she saw her father being taken away by the police.
The house had also been turned upside down.
"Dad..."
"Qingxue—"
"What's going on—"
Amid the torrential rain, Sheng Qianxia chaotically followed the police.
"Let go of my dad! What crime has he committed that you have to arrest him?"
The rain poured down furiously.
Her hair and wedding dress were completely soaked, chilling her to the bone.
"It was Yeye, Qianxia, you must be careful of him!" her father said his last words before being taken into the police car.
Yeye? Ling Muye?
Sheng Qianxia's body suddenly stiffened.
"Sister!"
Sheng Qingxue's hysterical crying reached Sheng Qianxia's ears.
She said, "Brother Muye ruined our family! He kicked us out and even had Dad thrown in jail! Dad raised him like his own son, always spending money for him to study abroad, even agreeing to marry you off to him, how could he repay kindness with enmity!"
The sound of the rain was loud, drowning out the bustle of the entire city.
Sheng Qianxia felt as if she had gone deaf for a moment.
Sheng Qingxue's cold hands gripped her wrist, her voice still trembling.
"Sister, do you know, he also called off the engagement! Not only that, today he's getting engaged to Xie Weiyi in our garden! He said today is a day worth commemorating, that he intends to celebrate it as a victory banquet!"
Sheng Qianxia felt like she had been struck by lightning.
An intense chill overwhelmed her senses.
Her family's downfall was Ling Muye's doing?
No, she couldn't believe it!
Sheng Qianxia lifted her gown and dashed toward the garden.
"Sister, where are you going!"
Sheng Qingxue wanted to chase after Sheng Qianxia but was blocked outside the garden, pacing back and forth outside with urgency—
The rain was coming down like mad, but the huge canopy of the garden kept the fierce downpour at bay.
Different from the desperate and icy atmosphere outside the courtyard.
The garden was noisy and bustling, like a different world.
The Sheng Family's garden had a lovely name, 'Flourishing Beauty'.
It was named together by Ling Muye and Sheng Qianxia.
Now the garden was still there, but his beautiful lady had been replaced!
Probably because Ling Muye had signaled, no one stopped her.
Sheng Qianxia burst into the garden with a fury, and when her gaze met Ling Muye's, her mind suddenly went blank...
It seemed like she could no longer hear the whispering and pointing of the other people at the party.
It felt as though something had shattered in that instant.
At this moment, standing beside Ling Muye was a woman in a wedding dress.
Sheng Qianxia barely managed to see the woman's face—
It was her once-good friend, Xie Weiyi.
