The guests seemed to share her emotions in that instant, and their hearts trembled.

Tang Yaoyao seemed to be talking about these things casually, and every sentence sounded unimportant but was incredibly shocking.

But this was the first time that people sensed the anger emanating from her very core, as well as the suffocating sympathy.

Ye Mi'er's face paled, intimidated by her imposing aura: "She was already dead..."

"Ye Mier, you speak of those two words so lightly and disrespectfully. Have you forgotten that the dead person you mentioned was your best friend when you were bullied by the older students when you first entered school, and she was beaten black and blue. She endured the pain with you despite her illness, helped you drive away all the bad guys, sheltered you from the wind and rain, and allowed you to have a peaceful three years!"

Tang Yaoyao sneered, "Since you've forgotten, I'll tell you bit by bit to help you remember."

Ye Mier staggered back a step, and suddenly a scene flashed through her mind: when she was a freshman in high school, she was cornered and beaten in the corridor by one or two older female students.

Lu Man saved her and said she would protect her for the rest of her life.

“You are an arts and sports student. Your fingers are stiff and sore from practicing piano and guzheng every day. Sometimes you miss mealtimes because of practice. She will get you food and bring it to you. She will massage your sore fingers every night.”

"They will comfort you when you are scolded by your parents for failing your exams, and even go so far as to change their own report card to your name so you can take it back to your parents to report back."

"I'll run with you and diet with you when you're trying to lose weight."

"I will accompany you to go shopping and watch movies every Sunday afternoon, and I will never say that I am tired or tired. I will spend the three years of high school happily with you."

"She has had leukemia since she was a child. Whenever she gets sick, she faces death, but she will go crazy with you and even dare to build a snowman with you in the dead of winter."

"In her short life, all her love and happiness were given to you alone, and in the end, all you said to her were two words: 'dead'?"

Upon hearing this, everyone seemed to understand why Tang Yaoyao was angry, and some people couldn't help but shed tears.

Such a girl, she has passed away. She was so good to Ye Mier when she was alive, but in the end, she didn't even deserve to be called by name.

Tang Yaoyao took a deep breath and raised an eyebrow slightly: "Do you remember who Lu Man is now? Do you want me to continue?"

Ye Mi'er's eyes reddened, and she bit her lip, murmuring, "She said that every extra day she lived was a bonus. No one wanted to be her friend except me. Her life only truly felt alive because she met me. I gave her laughter and joy, allowing her to live like a normal person..."

Everyone felt uncomfortable listening to what Tang Yaoyao said, and no one said a word more, so the banquet hall was very quiet.

Therefore, Ye Mier's words were particularly clear, yet no one understood what she was trying to express.

Suddenly, she burst into tears, each tear falling to the ground: "Since I gave her three happy years, her kindness to me is her way of repaying me, of being grateful. I don't owe her anything, I don't owe her anything, I don't owe her anything..."

These words were like a bomb, causing the girls who had felt sympathy to explode with anger.

"She's so good to you, and instead of being grateful, you take it all for granted. How can you be like this?"

"If there's a girl in this world who's so good to me, even risking her life, why would I need to marry anyone else?"

Even if you feel that you made her happy for the last three years of her life, and that she benefited, does that erase all the good she did for you? How can you bring up those two disrespectful words about her now?

Ye Mi'er bit her lip and looked up. Everyone was condemning her, their voices growing louder and louder.

Since she became famous, who hasn't looked at her with admiration and envy?

How could it have turned out like this...?

Just because of the dead person I just blurted out?

Suddenly, certain people and events flashed through her mind, causing her immense pain, and her eyes became even redder than before.

My parents always say, "Look how sensible Manman is. If you were half as good as Manman, your parents would be at ease."

The teacher also said, "Look at Manman, her grades are so good. Ye Mier, you two are good sisters, you should learn from her."

The classmate also said, "Ye Mier, you can't even compare to a leukemia patient. You're still friends with her. You're just a green leaf to set off her flower. If I were you, I would have stopped being friends with her a long time ago."

Even when she confessed to the senior she liked, he said, "Thank you for liking me. You're great. But I already have someone I like. She's your good friend, Lu Man. Can you give me her phone number?"

Lu Man is better than her in every way. She's clearly a leukemia patient; she's a patient! She should act like a patient!

She might as well just wait to die every day, why does she have to work so hard? Why is everyone better than her in every way? Why does everyone have to be one step ahead of her in everything?

She's just a foil to Lu Man. Even if she dies, she'll still be one step ahead of her. Why? Why?

"Shut up, all of you!" Ye Mi'er suddenly screamed.

Now, things are clear. You almost don't need to think to know what happened. Ye Mier must have stolen Lu Man's perfume to become famous, and then Lu Man found out about it. How could a girl with leukemia endure such a blow?

Ultimately, she died a painful death after being betrayed by her best friend...

Even though people spoke in quieter voices, they still mocked her, whispering amongst themselves and criticizing her in every word.

Ye Mi'er, her eyes red, glared at her angrily and said, "Tang Yaoyao, you say this is the fragrance she concocted? Show me the evidence! Without evidence, how can your one-sided statement be convincing?"

Tang Yaoyao's smile vanished, replaced by a chill as she spoke, each word distinct: "The evidence is that you can't even concoct this, you don't even know the key to this fragrance. Ye Mi'er, do you know how ridiculous you are?"

"Then tell me, what's the key point?"

Tang Yaoyao faced everyone. At this moment, her heart was heavy, as if she was thinking about Lu Man's state of mind when she was making this fragrance. She slowly explained to everyone: "The name of this perfume is actually very ordinary. It is called Tranquilizing Fragrance. But it takes a lot of effort to make it. It takes a year to make just this one bottle. Can you feel a breath flowing through your body now? It is very comfortable and relaxes your nerves?"

Everyone tried to feel it as she described, and it really was true. They all nodded and looked at her very seriously, waiting for her to reveal the true meaning behind the calming incense.
