Tonight, LJ City was still flamboyantly radiating its enchanting and dazzling brilliance. The dazzling neon lights perfectly concealed all the sins.
In a high - end residential area, a stunning woman with long hair and a bare face was sitting on a soft sofa. She stroked her belly from time to time, a happy smile spreading across her face, and her eyes would glance at the door from time to time.
Finally, the doorbell rang. Ye Xiruo, dragging her slippers, couldn't wait to open the door, but she was stunned on the spot the moment she opened it.
Outside the door, a woman in a bright red short skirt, with a flamboyant and glamorous look, glanced haughtily at Ye Xiruo, then walked in as if no one else was around and sat down on the sofa casually.
"Shu Yi, you're back." It seemed that all the rumors were true. She had come back to take revenge on her. Ye Xiruo's face turned even paler.
"What's wrong? Aren't you glad to see me back? I heard you were going to give Yi a surprise. I came to join in the fun and, by the way, give you a huge surprise." Shu Yi stood up, and the clicking sound of her slender high - heeled shoes echoed loudly on the floor.
Ye Xiruo involuntarily took a step back and looked at Shu Yi's familiar yet extremely strange face with some nervousness.
"Don't be afraid. You'll be free soon." Although there was still a smile on Shu Yi's face, Ye Xiruo didn't miss the madness in her eyes. What on earth did this woman want to do!
A piece of paper fluttered down in front of Ye Xiruo. She only saw the words "Divorce Agreement" and hurriedly picked it up and read it carefully. Although she couldn't accept it, the man's signature on it was real.
Ye Xiruo's heart clenched tightly, and she could hardly breathe. The good news of her pregnancy that she had just learned was suddenly overwhelmed by this huge grief. Was the child in her belly doomed to be fatherless from birth? No!
Ye Xiruo's eyes cleared, and she tore up the divorce agreement.
"If Feng Yi is a real man, let him come and talk to me in person. What kind of man hides behind a woman?"
Shu Yi's blood - red painted fingernails hooked Ye Xiruo's chin, pinching her painfully. "Still struggling to the last? Fine, I'll let you die understanding."
A stack of photos was thrown at Ye Xiruo's head. "Take a good look at your model - perfect husband."
Ye Xiruo recognized both people in the photos. She was very familiar with them. One was her husband, who had shared a bed with her for nearly five years, and the other was the glamorous woman in front of her. The two of them really seemed deeply in love and were a perfect match.
Ye Xiruo raised the corners of her mouth, and everything in front of her was covered with a layer of blood - red. Anger, boundless anger, gnawed at Ye Xiruo's heart. For all these years, her lover and her best friend had been affectionate right under her nose, making others envious, while she had been kept in the dark like a fool.
Ye Xiruo stood up and glared at Shu Yi angrily. "Bitch, get out of here right now."
Shu Yi had never been insulted like this before. She slapped Ye Xiruo across the face. "Do you still think you're the high - and - mighty young lady of the Ye family? Stop kidding. Oh, by the way, I might as well tell you that the car accident that killed your parents was arranged by the man you love the most." Shu Yi smiled brightly and walked out with a swagger.
Ye Xiruo lay on the cold floor, crying her heart out. So, Feng Yi had been eyeing the Ye family's property from the beginning. It was her willfulness that had killed her parents, and now it had also affected the child in her womb.
Ye Xiruo was shivering all over, her eyes empty, as if she had lost her soul.
After a long time, Ye Xiruo, with her long hair disheveled like a female ghost and a deathly pale face, climbed up from the floor. She casually wrapped herself in a coat and left the house.
"Madam, it's so late. Where are you going? Let me drive you."
Ye Xiruo seemed not to hear. She went to get a car on her own and drove away.
She had to find Dongfang. Dongfang must have a way. He surely had a way.
She must send Feng Yi, the murderer, to court and let him be punished by law. It was really hard to imagine that she had lived with the man who killed her father for such a long time.
Tears kept streaming down. Ye Xiruo, who was heartbroken, didn't notice that not far behind her, a black, unremarkable car had been closely following her.
On this quiet night, alone, Ye Xiruo suddenly had a sense of foreboding. Her pale face became even paler under the streetlights, almost transparent.
There were still ten minutes left to reach Brother Dongfang's house.
Ye Xiruo suppressed the unease in her heart and focused on driving.
The blinding car lights, the distorted and ferocious face of the driver opposite, the out - of - control brakes, and the blood flowing continuously from her body became Ye Xiruo's last memories.
Three minutes later, Ye Xiruo's car exploded. The mistress of the Feng family, the young lady of the Ye family, was completely wiped out, with a tragic death.
She never expected that those two scoundrels were so ruthless that they really made sure she wouldn't see the sun tomorrow. With overwhelming anger and deep - seated hatred, Ye Xiruo thought that if there was an afterlife, she would definitely make those two scoundrels live a life worse than death.
In this life, she was most sorry to her parents and the unborn child. What a pity...
At the same time, in a luxurious suite in LJ City, a tall and handsome man swirled the red wine in his hand. There was not a trace of joy in his slender eyes.
Although the woman opposite was beautiful and sensible, and the atmosphere of the candlelit dinner was good, he just couldn't suppress the unease in his heart.
The man drained the red wine in one gulp and got up to leave.
"Yi—" The woman's voice was so aggrieved that she seemed about to burst into tears, but Feng Yi didn't pause in his steps at all.
"It's too late, Feng Yi."
Shu Yi's voice carried an inexplicable coldness and a bit of twisted pleasure.
"What's too late?" Feng Yi stopped. "What on earth have you done?"
"Does it matter what I've done?" Shu Yi poured herself a glass of red wine and said to herself, "Today is really a good day. It's worth celebrating. Why don't you sit down and have a drink with me? Then I'll tell you what good deed I've done." Shu Yi deliberately emphasized the last two words, causing Feng Yi's usually cold face to show some signs of shock.
Feng Yi snatched the glass from Shu Yi and drank it all in one go. "Now you can tell me." The man exuded a cold aura all over, while the woman opposite just kept smiling to herself.
"It's nothing much. I just went to visit my best friend and brought back a good news and a bad news. Which one do you want to hear?"
"Both. Tell me quickly." Feng Yi's heart was beating so violently that it seemed about to burst. Had something happened to Xiruo?
"What did you do to Xiruo?"
"She was overjoyed to find out she was pregnant with your child and was on her way to tell you the good news. Unfortunately, she had a car accident on the way. Neither she nor the child survived."
Shu Yi's cold voice was like a venomous snake, shattering Feng Yi's last hope.
"You lunatic. Say that again, and I'll make your life a living hell." Feng Yi stumbled back to his car and drove back. On the way, he saw the latest news broadcast. The huge explosion and fire took away all his hopes.
"Xiruo, I'll avenge you. You must wait for me. Wait for me."
