"Crash ~ ~ ~"
In the bathroom, the shower was turned on full blast.
The clamor of the water masked the tears that were flowing down Mi Xiaoya's face. She kept washing her skin until it bled from being touched by arrows.
May 20th should have been her happiest and happiest!
She was just one step away from becoming the happiest person in the world!
Why did the heavens punish her like this!
A grand wedding was held. All the relatives and friends were celebrating with joy, but the bride didn't show up. What a disaster!
Furthermore, Mi Xiaoya had also experienced such humiliation. How was she going to face her fiancé, Gu Fengxian, whom she had loved for ten years?
After an unknown period of time, the absent-minded Mi Xiaoya finally walked out from the bathroom.
On the walls of the house, she and Gu Feng were having a sweet photo together, making her ashamed to the point that she couldn't look straight at them.
God knows what the wedding was like.
How was Big Brother Gu going to deal with such a mess?
Mi Xiaoya's nose was sore, but she knew that this was not the time to collapse. She had to pull herself together and find out the truth.
Exactly who pushed her into this bottomless abyss!
The first person to ask was her stepmother, who had treated her better than her biological daughter since childhood!
Mi Xiaoya's eyes were fixed on the family photo on the desk. Her dignified father was Mi Yuancheng, her gentle smile stepmother Cheng Wangrong, and her younger sister, Mi Xiaoqin, who was two years younger than her.
The photo even had a beautiful line of words written by his stepmother.
"To the most important person in the family, Xiao Ya.
— — Love your mother. "
Half an hour later, outside the brightly lit Mi Mansion.
The Mi family was located in one of the most prosperous districts in Z city. It was a grand villa with a large area of private grasslands and gardens. The top properties maintained the peace and order of the city, making it impossible for ordinary people to enter this private area.
"Young miss, please wait." The guard at the door stopped Mi Xiaoya who was wandering around the door.
The guard glanced contemptuously at the plain-dressed Mi Xiaoya and impolitely ordered her departure, "This is a private area. No one is allowed to enter."
"I live here." Mi Xiaoya was in no mood to explain herself. She flashed the electronic key in her hand.
Ever since her mother had died over that incident, she had completely broken off from her father and went out to help herself. Even the college tuition fees had been earned on her own.
All these years, the only person who gave her some warmth and care was her stepmother, Cheng Wangrong.
Once, Mi Xiaoya had treated her like a mother for a period of time!
That was why she was willing to leave the Mi family. She had no intention of fighting for the things that should have belonged to her, giving them all to her stepmother and sister.
"Little girl, is there something wrong with your head? This isn't the key to the Mi residence at all. " The guard laughed out loud. Then, his face darkened as he roughly used a baton to block her from leaving.
Mi Xiaoya was taken aback. "Impossible."
"Hehe, there are so many people like you who want to sneak into the Mi Mansion during the wedding ceremony! Open your eyes wide and take a good look, this is the real key! " The guard took out a different electronic card from his waist and tossed it in front of Mi Xiaoya.
"The key —"
"When did it happen?" Mi Xiaoya's head was spinning. She looked at the Mi Mansion that was just inches away from her, but it was as if she was looking at the distant horizon.
Although she didn't want to come back at all these years, it was still a place where she was born and grew up in. There were also her most precious memories, many good memories of her own mother.
"I have to go in." Mi Xiaoya's heart sank even more. Everything before her eyes was telling her that the truth was definitely more complicated than she had imagined.
"Who do you think you are? Is that a place where you can enter if you want to? " The guard blocked his way fiercely, threatening, "If you don't get lost, don't blame me for being rude!"
Mi Xiaoya felt mixed emotions.
What is she, yes, what is she!
"Xiao Ya?" Suddenly, not too far away, a gentle voice called out her name in surprise.
Mi Xiaoya raised her head to look. It was an imposing courtyard. A gentle lady dressed in a flowing, sparkling, sky-blue evening dress was staring at her in shock.
"Auntie Cheng." Mi Xiaoya called out nonchalantly, a coldness that she had never felt before appearing in her eyes.
Cheng Wangrong quickly adjusted her expression and quickly came over to greet him. She said with a bit of grievance, "Xiao Ya, why are you calling me a stranger? "Although you've never wanted to call me mother, you still called me Aunt Rong."
Mi Xiaoya did not say anything. For the first time, she realized that her gentle and considerate stepmother was actually such a person who was good at acting.
"Madame, you … "Yes, I do …" The security guards were so nervous that they even stuttered, afraid that they would offend Cheng Wangrong.
"She's the most important guest of our Mi family!" Cheng Wangrong frowned, "Next time you make such a serious mistake, you won't need to work anymore!"
What a great phrase to change one's concept!
Not the Mi family, but the guests!
He was finally no longer pretending. Was he going to declare his sovereignty in a hurry?
Good, very good.
Mi Xiaoya's delicate face was even more composed.
As a person, what she was most afraid of was being ungrateful! If he had truly treated her well, she might have struggled for a long time.
However, he had never shown mercy to enemies with malicious intents.
"Yes!" Yes! "Yes!" The guard was flustered and almost kowtowed to apologize to Mi Xiaoya.
At this moment, not far away, a Rolls-Royce Silver Demon drew a graceful line across the sky and stopped not far away.
A pair of eyes, as deep as the night, locked onto Mi Xiaoya's silhouette, emitting a dangerous light.
Woman, do you really think you can escape?
"Xiao Ya, don't be angry. It's all my fault for having poor memory. I actually even changed my name plate. I forgot to tell you, that's why I caused this kind of misunderstanding. "
Cheng Wangrong's delicate face was filled with guilt. She apologized gently and carefully, "Come in quickly. Auntie will definitely give herself three cups of wine!"
"Alright." She pushed the door open and walked in.
When Cheng Wangrong was alone, a trace of coldness flashed across her awkward face. Then, she forced a smile and chased after him with quick steps, "Xiao Ya! Wait for me! Today is a day of great joy, do you want to borrow Little Zither's evening gown to change into? "
"However …"
"I'm afraid you won't be able to get rid of your bones even if you wear the latest dress from Paris."
Her voice was very shrill and light, like a poisoned needle piercing through the tranquil night sky.
"Don't put on that proud, stinking face. "I've endured you for too long."
Mi Xiaoya felt her blood turn cold as she clenched her fists so hard that she was about to clench her palms into bloody gashes.
She should have known earlier on that this woman wasn't that simple!
The only thing to blame was that she, who had suffered too much at that time, had suddenly mistrusted someone!
"But, the wedding is still going to be held. Take a guess, who was the selfless and kind one who stood out to save the situation, and who was it who went to the auditorium together with the young lord of the Gu family?"
Pow!
A resounding slap pierced through the tranquil night, and in the blink of an eye, five bright red handprints appeared on Cheng Wangrong's face.
"Everything is too late. Today's grand ceremony is destined to not belong to a lowly illegitimate daughter like you!"
Cheng Wangrong sneered coldly, her eyes filled with the arrogance of a victor.
In the next moment, her face suddenly turned, her large eyes quickly filled with tears from being wronged, and she cried out in an incredibly injured manner, "Xiao Ya, how can you hit me!? For a person's child to hit his mother is a great sin! "
