In her previous life, Lu Beichuan had practically become her obsession. After she had been given a second chance, he remained her target. It had never occurred to her that she could also……

  Father Ye’s words brought her to her senses.

  Lu Beichuan and Ye Zhen’s wedding was an unchangeable fact. She couldn’t continue to fixate on Lu Beichuan. In order to have the chance to climb up, she had to tightly grasp onto Ye Zhen as her springboard. Using Ye Zhen, she would find a man with a family background that was superior to Lu Beichuan’s and free herself from her fate!

  Thinking of it like that, Ye Qing immediately panicked again. Lowering her head, she looked at the torn wedding dress she was wearing. In the next moment, she thought of her recent words and actions. Why had she done and said all those unnecessary things?!

  “Dad……” Ye Qing’s voice was trembling as she said, “Dad, my recent actions…… I didn’t mean to do that. I just misunderstood Zhenzhen. I…… What should I do? Do you think she’ll misunderstand me?”


  Father Ye comforted her, “It’ll be fine. Just go back there and properly apologize to Zhenzhen and Beichuan.”


  Apologize……

  Ye Qing was utterly unwilling to do that. It would be less painful to die than lower her head in front of Ye Zhen.

  Seeing Ye Qing’s hesitance, Father Ye’s expression turned unpleasant. “Ye Qing!”


  “I know!” Ye Qing looked extremely uncomfortable as she wiped away her tears. “I’ll go change into other clothes first.”


  “Right, quickly, go change out of that dress. You tore apart this perfectly nice wedding! It was very thoughtless of you!”


  Listening to Father Ye’s scolding, Ye Qing went to another dressing room and changed out of the wedding dress. She changed into a white evening gown. Then, with her eyes still slightly red and her head lowered, she pushed open the door to Ye Zhen’s dressing room and walked inside.

  At this point in time, Ye Zhen had finished changing into the wedding dress. She was standing next to Lu Beichuan, who had changed into a new suit. These two looked like a well-matched and an ideal couple. They would definitely draw envy from others.

  Ye Qing endured the hate and resentment in her heart. Under Father Ye’s meaningful gaze, she walked to Ye Zhen and forced herself to slightly smile. “My words earlier…… It was just nonsense. Zhenzhen, don’t…… Don’t misunderstand me. I didn’t mean it.”


  Ye Zhen looked at her in utter shock.

  “Zhenzhen, I’m sorry. Forgive me. I lost my conscience temporarily, and my thoughts went to the wrong place. Still, you have to believe me. I didn’t mean those words. We grew up together. Shouldn’t you know what kind of person I am?”


  Putting on this act of enduring humiliation in order to accomplish her goal. Ye Zhen inwardly gave Ye Qing a loud round of applause!

  Just a short while ago, she had been shouting and screaming. But now, she could adapt to a different situation and lower her head to submit. Sure enough, Ye Qing was the female lead!

  In the past, Ye Zhen hadn’t been willing to offend Ye Qing because she wanted her help in fleeing. She had exercised patience and yielded to Ye Qing in every way for the sake of securing a safe future for herself.

  Seeing as how she no way of escaping from Lu Beichuan’s “evil clutches”, there was no reason to allow herself to be wronged again and again like before. She didn’t have to put up with Ye Qing anymore.

  “Older sister, I really liked that wedding dress, but you ruined it. I hope that you compensate me for that loss.”


  Ye Qing’s smile stiffened. Father Ye quickly went over to help his older daughter out. “Qingqing, go outside to check on your mom.”


  Ye Qing took the opportunity he gave her to leave. She obediently allowed Father Ye to lead her away.

  Looking at Ye Qing’s figure as she walked away, Ye Zhen wondered about Ye Qing’s mesmerising performance at that party in the novel. Her performance had left Lu Beichuan unable to forget her for over twenty years.

  Lu Beichuan came over and wrapped his arm around her slender waist. “What are you thinking about?”


  Ye Zhen looked at him. She wasn’t willing to believe that she was feeling a somewhat sour sensation. This feeling had come out of nowhere. “Just thinking of how you would look when you’re infatuated and head over heels in love with Ye Qing.”


  Lu Beichuan: “?”
