  There were many people playing upstairs since it was all young people.

  However, in this era, there were only a few games that could be played.

  The people upstairs formed their own cliques and it was very obvious. They gathered together in groups of twos and threes.

  Ye West Wind went to help Ming Shu take a few things. Ming Shu waited for him at a stop where there was fewer people around.

  “Little Sister Jian Xi is here too.”


  Han Ying held a glass of red wine and blocked Ming Shu’s path. From his expression, he seemed to have forgotten about what happened between them a few days ago.

  Ming Shu narrowed her eyes as she looked at him. “Do you still want to get beaten up?”


  Han Ying replied, “Little sister, it is okay to have a fierce personality but if you go too overboard, it is not good.”


  Ming Shu asked humbly, “Why is it not good?”


  Han Ying leaned toward Ming Shu. “You will offend people easily.”


  Ming Shu replied, “Oh.” Then, she asked him nonchalantly, “So what if I provoke people?”


  She had offended so many people already.

  What is the difference between offending one more, and offending one less?

  Rich and useless Ming Shu expressed her viewpoint—she didn’t care.

  Han Ying: “.……”


  If you offend someone, there would be trouble waiting for you.

  He sized up Ming Shu. His eyes were like those of an evil beast. He smiled and said, “Seems like Jian Shu protected you very well.”


  Ming Shu smiled in reply.

  Han Ying raised his wine glass. “See you later, little sister.”


  Han Ying turned to talk to the people beside him.

  Ye West Wind came back with her things. He frowned and asked, “What did he say to you?”


  “He said that he’s a pig.”


  “.……”


  Ming Shu didn’t lower her voice and Han Ying was standing not far away. Hence, he heard Ming Shu badmouthing him.

  His back was facing Ming Shu. He lowered his head and pressed the rims of his glasses. After a while, he raised his head and continued the conversation with the person beside him……

  Halfway through the banquet, Ye West Wind was called away by his father.

  Ming Shu ate the snacks that Ye West Wind brought for her and looked at the crowd before her.

  Li Meng came too. She was surrounded by Han Qian and her gang of friends. From their voices, it was definitely not because of something good.

  Li Meng pushed away the people that were blocking her and walked forward a few steps.

  A girl in a pink dress pulled her back. As they struggled, they moved closer to Ming Shu.

  Li Meng saw Ming Shu. When the girl in the pink dress pulled her, she turned back and changed positions with her.

  The girl in the pink dress lost her balance and fell toward Ming Shu.

  Li Meng felt that if Ming Shu got slammed by someone suddenly, there would be a commotion and these people would stop pestering her. Ming Shu might even have a heart attack.

  But……

  Ming Shu caught the girl in the pink dress with a handsome posture.

  “Be careful. If the snacks fall on the floor, it would be a waste.”


  The girl in the pink dress looked up at the girl in front of her. She blushed and hurriedly stabilized herself. “I’m sorry.”


  The girl in the pink dress then turned her head and looked at Li Meng. She scolded her softly, “Li Meng, you did it on purpose!”


  Li Meng’s face changed slightly.

  That sick girl, how did she……

  The girl in the pink dress saw that Li Meng was in a daze and went up to her. She grabbed her and dragged her to a corner.

  The group of girls clustered around Li Meng. The people around them just watched on.

  They all knew who Han Limeng was. She was the foster daughter that the dissolute Father Han only just recognized. Many people guessed that she was his illegitimate daughter.

  Ever since olden times, illegitimate daughters were an unwelcome presence.

  The real daughter of the Han family, Han Qian, had also given them a warning so no one dared to offend her……

  Li Meng washed the red wine off her face. She wiped her face and then placed her hands on the side of the basin. Her eyes were filled with hatred.

  If it wasn’t for that sick little girl, she would have been the foster daughter of the Jian family by now.

  What did she do wrong that caused Jian Xi to distance herself from her?

  “Do you hate me?”


  Li Meng felt a chill run down her spine. She turned around immediately.

  Han Ying was standing by the door. He was looking at her thoughtfully.

  Li Meng retracted the hatred in her eyes. She called, frightened, “Brother……”


  “Don’t call me that,” Han Ying replied. “If Han Qian doesn’t like you, it means that I don’t like you. You are not a part of the Han family. I don’t know what method you used to make my father recognize you as his foster daughter. He even brought you into the family. But, you must know that you are the only outsider in this family.”


  Li Meng clenched her fist tightly.

  She knew that she was an outsider.

  However, if she didn’t get external help, her status would be too low.

  She got into the Han family because she knew some things about Father Han. She knew because she was reborn. Although it would not be a huge issue in the future, for now…… it was a lethal blow to the patriarch of the Han family.

  “I can help you teach Han Qian a lesson.”


  Li Meng looked at the man in front of her in disbelief.

  There was no emotion in the man’s eyes.

  The sound of water dripping in the washroom amplified a few times.

  The man touched his glasses in the middle. “However, there is a condition.”


  Li Meng asked, “What…… what condition?” After she spoke, she felt surprised at her own reaction.

  “Jian Xi stayed at your village before, right?”


  Li Meng nodded.

  Han Ying continued asking, “Does she have any weakness?”


  Weakness?

  However, her health seemed much better now. She didn’t seem as weak as before.

  Han Ying spoke again, “You don’t know?”


  Li Meng grabbed the hem of her dress. “She…… she has heart disease. Is that considered a weakness?”


  “Heart disease?” Han Ying muttered, “No wonder the Jian family hid her so well. Tsk tsk…… Jian Shu, I anticipate your reaction this time.”


  Han Limeng took out a handkerchief and passed it to Li Meng. “Make Han Qian drink this later. I will handle the rest.”


  “What is this?”


  “You don’t have to know. Just follow my orders.”
……

  “Ah!”


  A shrill scream came from the third floor.

  By the time Ming Shu and Ye West Wind went up, there were already a few people gathered there. Han Qian stood outside a door with a pale face. The girls beside her held onto each other. They looked as though they saw something scary.

  Ye West Wind was a member of the Ye family so he squeezed inside to have a look.

  “What’s the problem?”


  “Yaoyao…… Yaoyao……”


  Han Qian’s face turned white as she pointed at the room. She couldn’t complete her sentence.

  Ye West Wind looked inside, then turned around immediately and stopped Ming Shu who wanted to peek inside. “Go and call the ambulance. The rest of you, bring the rest of the guests down.”


  In the room, the girl in the pink dress lay motionless on the floor. Blood was gushing out of her wrist.

  She committed suicide.

  Li Meng was in the crowd too. When she heard this news, she was shocked. She thought that Han Ying gave her the kind of drug that would raise a person’s sexual desires…… she didn’t know it would kill someone.

  Also, why was it the girl in the pink dress who committed suicide?

  Ming Shu didn’t go in, but when the people from the hospital came to carry the person out, she saw the huge bloodstain on the pink dress.

  Although the girl seemed to have committed suicide, it still happened at the Ye family’s house so they needed to take some responsibility.

  “Yaoyao would never commit suicide!” When the police came to investigate the issue, Han Qian seemed very agitated. “How could she commit suicide? She would never do it.”


  “Miss Han, do you think that someone murdered her?”


  “It must be!” Han Qian was shaking as she grabbed the policeman’s elbow. “Someone must have harmed her. You need to find the culprit!”
