The woman's hair was casually clipped up, yet it couldn't hide her stunning beauty; however, her expression was so cold that no one dared to approach within a meter.

As Shen Bingyan opened the iron gate on the roof, a strong gust of wind rushed in.

Despite her seemingly frail frame, Shen Bingyan walked with unwavering determination and composure in the strong wind.

Looking around, the rooftop was empty, with only the sound of the wind and no one else in sight.

"Hasn't he/she arrived yet?"

Shen Bingyan glanced at the time in a murmur.

Seeing that it was still early, she had no choice but to stand on the rooftop and patiently wait for Zhou Yi.

Occasionally, a look of expectation would flicker in those cold pupils.

She had already completed the withdrawal procedures, and her visit to see Zhou Yi this time was merely a last-ditch effort.

She never wanted to give up until the very last moment.

The smug look on Su Qingjiao's face flashed through her mind that day, when she told her in a condescending tone that Zhou Yi would come to the rooftop for the performance at the end of the month.

Even if it was fake, Shen Bingyan came with a one in ten thousand chance.

I was really disappointed with Zhou Yi's love-obsessed nature and hadn't planned to come.

But when Shen Bingyan heard Xu Ping say that Zhou Yi hadn't gone to rescue Su Qingjiao, or even called the police, she suddenly felt that Zhou Yi's love-struck mind was still salvageable.

The edge of the rooftop was completely enclosed by tiles, so that when you stood at the edge, you could only look down with your neck and above exposed.

Shen Bingyan's tall stature allows her to expose her entire shoulder and even rest her hands on the tiles.

Shen Bingyan glanced down at the time casually.

In that instant, Xu Ping was passing by downstairs when he inadvertently looked up and saw a stunningly beautiful profile.

Xu Ping was so nervous that he even paused for a moment.

It was her!!!

The elegant beauty I met at the Black Pearl Restaurant that day!

Despite being four floors apart, Xu Ping swore he would never mistake the person for someone else.

After all, she was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. She was as aloof as a snow lotus on an iceberg, and once you saw her, you could not mistake her for someone else.

Xu Ping excitedly pulled out his phone and, at the fastest speed he had ever used, unlocked his beat-up secondhand phone and took a picture.

Thankfully, my usually laggy phone came through at this crucial moment.

Xu Ping looked down and saw the afternoon sunlight gently shining on the beautiful woman's back, making each strand of her hair glow with a layer of gold, but that golden light still couldn't hide her cold and aloof temperament.

The woman's face was turned to the side, yet her delicate features were still evident; she simply lowered her head casually.

Xu Ping quickly snapped a photo, without even needing any filters, and it turned out to be a stunning picture, making him feel like even his own phone's camera quality had improved significantly.

Xu Ping looked down at the photo he had taken with a smug grin. If this photo were posted online, it would surely outshine those self-proclaimed internet celebrities who had gone viral for their stunning looks.

Xu Ping found Zhou Yi's WeChat and sent him the photo.

[pig pictures]

[Zhou Yi, hurry! Look! This time there are pictures to prove it!]

Look how stunning she is! Even my beat-up phone took photos that look like they were taken by a professional photographer. That gives you an idea of ​​how beautiful she is in person.

Meanwhile, Zhou Yi was in a coffee shop not far from the villa.

It was afternoon, and Zhou Yi was the only customer in the coffee shop.

The shop assistant scrolled through her phone idly, only occasionally noticing the boy sitting in the corner.

Even though there was no one in the store, the best spot was by the window.

But this customer is strange; he chose the most inconspicuous corner. Maybe it's just a personal habit.

Thinking this, the shop assistant continued to play on her phone listlessly.

There was a laptop on Zhou Yi's desk. He took a sip of his coffee, but his eyes were fixed on the computer screen.

The trap has been set; now it's just a matter of when the Su mother and daughter will crawl into it.

To facilitate the Su mother and daughter's theft of documents, Zhou Yi had already notified Butler Cao a few days ago to give all the servants a half-day off at the end of the month.

Su Qingjiao invited him to see a performance. Since it was the same time in his previous life, Zhou Yi naturally knew what would happen on Su Qingjiao's side.

This time, Su Qingjiao didn't go to school. She wouldn't be foolish enough to cause such a big accident as last time. After all, she couldn't afford to take any risks now.

So Zhou Yi simply left the school that afternoon, not giving Su Qingjiao a chance to perform in front of him.

However, man proposes, God disposes.

Zhou Yi sat in the coffee shop, strategizing and watching the surveillance footage in his room, waiting for Su's mother's face to appear.

Unexpected changes occurred—

Zhou Yi glanced at his phone when it chimed with a notification sound.

At just one glance, his eyes were fixed in a daze!

Looking at the photos Xu Ping sent, Zhou Yi felt as if struck by lightning, and his hand holding the phone trembled with excitement.

Shen Bingyan!!!

Absolutely right!

I've looked at that profile picture of Shen Bingyan hundreds and thousands of times, and it's definitely her!

The person I'd been searching for for so long actually appeared right in front of me again!

Zhou Yi was both apprehensive and excited, fearing that Shen Bingyan would disappear from his sight again.

Zhou Yi suddenly stood up excitedly, made a voice call to Xu Ping, closed his laptop, and walked quickly outside.

The call was answered quickly.

Before Xu Ping could speak, Zhou Yi asked urgently, "Where was this photo taken? Where is she?"

Xu Ping smiled proudly when he heard Zhou Yi's eager question.

"Zhou Yi, I told you, isn't she much prettier than Su Qingjiao? What do you think? Have you fallen for her at first sight?"

Compared to her, Su Qingjiao is like a duck on the ground compared to a phoenix in the sky.

Zhou Yi took a deep breath and solemnly said to Xu Ping:

Tell me, where did you see her?

Xu Ping sensed the seriousness in Zhou Yi's tone. Although he didn't understand why Zhou Yi was in such a hurry, he honestly answered Zhou Yi: "I was passing by the school auditorium when I saw her on the roof."

"They're probably still near the auditorium."

"Beep...beep..."

Zhou Yi hung up the phone in a hurry, got into the Bentley that was waiting nearby, and told the driver to rush back to the school as quickly as possible.

At the same time, the program in the auditorium was still in full swing.

The order of the shows was determined by drawing lots in advance, and Su Qingjiao was scheduled for a later time slot.

She sat in the backstage dressing room, watching her classmates dressed in elaborately made clothes. In comparison, her own clothes seemed excessively plain.

Whenever their eyes looked over, Su Qingjiao felt like they were mocking her for dressing like an ugly duckling.

She couldn't stand the way she was being stared at, and saw that there were still two more performances before it was her turn.

Su Qingjiao slunk away to the restroom, pushing open each door until she was alone, before finally feeling relieved enough to dial her mother's number...
