Chapter 27
The night sky is deep and the moon is high in the sky.
Late in the summer night, the heat of the wind had mostly dissipated. Moonlight, like a thin veil, gently enveloped the quiet villa by the river.
The lights on both sides of the river are reflected on the surface of the river, swaying gently with the water.
A ray of moonlight filtered through the floor-to-ceiling window and fell into the eyes of the person standing by the window.
It was already two o'clock in the morning, but Jiang Zhuoyan still had no desire to sleep.
There were a few empty ladies' cigarettes in the ashtray on the table, and the most recent one still had a faint red glow.
Jiang Zhuoyan lit another cigarette, and white smoke rose up, which was not very clear in the night.
She rarely smoked, but she was just doing it to calm her nerves. In the current situation, she urgently needed to stay calm, so she had no choice but to do it.
What happened in the past two days has completely exceeded her understanding.
That day, after seeing the cat earrings that Shen Fengni had carefully put away, Jiang Zhuoyan's spirit completely collapsed. He drank himself unconscious and was completely drunk.
When she woke up the next day, she had a splitting headache and it took her a long time to recover.
Then she found herself back in time, half a year ago, on the morning of July 3, 2123, before Shen Fengni's wedding.
Jiang Zhuoyan initially thought she was dreaming, and suspected that she was hallucinating because the blow she suffered was too great. She even called a familiar psychologist and made an appointment for psychological consultation.
But soon, she discovered that the world she was in was neither a dream nor an illusion.
All the realities around her told her that this was real.
Half a year ago, the wedding had not yet taken place and Shen Fengni was still alive.
After realizing this, Jiang Zhuoyan's heartbeat suddenly accelerated. Without caring about anything else, he immediately called Shen Fengni as Zhezhi.
She missed Shen Fengni so much, she had to make sure she was safe and sound.
The moment Shen Fengni's voice came from the receiver, Jiang Zhuoyan almost choked with sobs.
But in order to prevent Shen Fengni from noticing her abnormality, she forced herself to suppress her emotions and chatted a few words in as calm a tone as possible, as if it were an ordinary conversation between friends.
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Zhuoyan thought alone for a long time.
In her previous life, she was too slow to act. By the time she knew the whole truth, the person had already passed away and it was too late.
But since God has given her a chance to start over, she will definitely not miss it.
She wants to change Shen Fengni's fate and ensure her happiness.
In order to achieve the goal, the first thing to do is to stop the wedding of Shen Fengni and Yu Qian, and the second thing to do is to sign a contract with Shen Fengni before Yu Qian.
Only by doing these two things can Shen Fengni escape from Yu Qian's control and prevent tragedy from happening again.
There are still two days until Shen Fengni's wedding. As a representative of the younger generation of the Jiang family, Jiang Zhuoyan is also among the invited guests, which makes things much easier for him.
In this world, Jiang Zhuoyan and Shen Fengni have no obvious intersection. If he wants to contact Shen Fengni directly, he can only use the identity of Zhezhi.
But at this time, Zhezhi and Shen Fengni were not particularly close, and it was a bit presumptuous to ask about each other's marriage. If he showed any intention of obstructing the wedding, he would probably be regarded as a mental patient by Shen Fengni and directly put on the blacklist.
The wedding is imminent, and Chen Fengni is probably in the passionate period of love at this time. He puts his fiancée first in his heart and does not allow others to interfere.
At this moment, her weight in Shen Fengni's heart is definitely far less than Yu Qian's.
Therefore, all Jiang Zhuoyan could do now was to immediately arrange for someone to investigate Yu Qian and gather evidence of her infidelity as quickly as possible. After obtaining the evidence, he would then find a way to have an in-depth discussion with Shen Fengni.
So she immediately asked someone to find a reliable private detective to monitor Yu Qian's whereabouts 24 hours a day, just to catch any flaws that the other party might reveal as soon as possible.
Jiang Zhuoyan was afraid that Shen Fengni would be deceived, so he didn't dare to be idle for a moment.
She knew that Shen Fengni would be at the rehearsal the day before the wedding, so she made a special trip there. The timing and location were perfect, and Xu Mei's presence gave her a good excuse to strike up a conversation and bring up the signing.
When they first met, Jiang Zhuoyan didn't expect Shen Fengni to immediately agree to sign a contract. But regardless of Shen Fengni's thoughts, she had already given her a heads-up.
In this way, no matter how much Shen Fengni likes his fiancée, when signing contracts in the future, he should pay attention to the issues of account ownership and income sharing, and will not be naive enough to let others manipulate him.
But...what would Shen Fengni think?
Jiang Zhuoyan took a deep drag on his cigarette and then tossed the butt into the ashtray. The faint red dot flickered twice before quickly going out.
She lowered her eyes and recalled the smile on Shen Fengni's face when she was lost in thought in the lounge yesterday.
The pure and clear, innocent childlike happiness cannot be hidden.
At that moment, Shen Fengni must have been thinking of Yu Qian. She was genuinely looking forward to the upcoming wedding, just like every happy bride.
Jiang Zhuoyan sighed softly, feeling sad.
At this time, Shen Fengni seemed to like her fiancée very much.
If Shen Fengni knew what she was going to do next, she would definitely hate her.
But it doesn't matter. Once everything is revealed, she believes that Shen Fengni will understand her behavior and make the right choice.
***
Shen Fengni bent down and washed her face with cold water.
Drops of water slid down her delicate cheeks, covering her skin with a layer of coldness, which made her sleepy brain feel much more awake.
Western-style weddings are free of many traditional cumbersome procedures, but they are still very troublesome.
After the girlish heart of the previous life was shattered, she became even more annoying.
Chen Fengni had to get up at three in the morning, drive an hour to the wedding venue, and do the extremely complicated bridal makeup.
She raised her head and looked at herself in the mirror.
Half a year ago, Shen Fengni had not yet experienced the ravages of marriage and society, and her overall condition seemed much better than before her rebirth.
Despite lack of sleep, she still looks good. Her skin is delicate, her eyes are clear, her lips are moist, and she doesn't look haggard at all.
Shen Fengni straightened her long hair and came out of the bathroom.
The staff waiting on the side immediately raised their hands and called her, "Miss Shen, it's time to put on makeup."
Shen Fengni nodded and followed her to the dressing room.
It was still dark outside the window, but the lights in the room were bright.
Yu Qian had arrived before her and was leaning lazily on the seat while a young makeup artist was applying makeup on her face.
Hearing the noise, she turned her face away and raised her lips slightly, "Feng Ni."
"Hey, Mr. Yu, stop moving. Your eyeliner's all crooked." The makeup artist complained half-jokingly and half-seriously, "Why, you're so excited to see the bride, you can't contain yourself."
"I'm sorry, please redraw it," Yu Qian apologized good-naturedly, and responded to the other party's teasing, "I'm going to marry her soon, how can I not be excited?"
The gentle smile was flawless, and not only others but even Shen Fengni herself at that time could not detect any clues.
With such acting skills, it would be a shame not to act.
Chen Fengni teased in her heart, but on the surface she still had to cooperate with the performance. She responded with a smile and sat down in the empty seat next to Yu Qian.
The table in front of me was filled with bottles and jars of all colors, heights, sizes and shapes, like a small mountain, which was dazzling.
Shen Fengni relies on her good looks and goes barefaced most of the time. Even when she's live streaming, her makeup routine is simple and she doesn't go into detail.
She simply closed her eyes and let the makeup artist do whatever he wanted, not bothering to see the effect.
Although on the surface, Shen Fengni was just a bride resting with her eyes closed, in fact, her mental activities had never stopped.
How will the wedding go, how should she react in each step, and when should she take action... Shen Fengni has rehearsed all the details in her mind many times, just waiting for the day of actual practice.
There was a rustling sound, followed by Yu Qian's voice beside him.
"It takes more than three hours to eat something."
Shen Fengni opened her eyes and saw a few chocolates.
Yu Qian held the exquisite silver package in her hands and placed it in front of her.
In her previous life, Yu Qian seemed to have acted out the same thing, as if she cared about her very much.
That's right, these past few days she was the most love-sick and her will was the weakest. If I didn't try my best to be nice to her, how could I trick her into signing a contract to sell her body before getting the marriage certificate?
"Thanks."
Chen Fengni took one, peeled off the wrapper, and put the chocolate into her mouth. It was smooth and delicate, with a rich aroma, but it was too sweet for her taste.
"Since you love to sleep, you must be very sleepy when you wake up early."
Yu Qian stuffed the remaining chocolates into Shen Fengni's hands and said in a friendly tone, "Did you come here without breakfast? Eat all of these to avoid hypoglycemia later."
Shen Fengni chuckled, "I know, don't worry."
She lowered her eyes slightly, hiding all the gloom in her eyes.
In her previous life, she was impressed by her fiancée's thoughtfulness and ate the chocolate with great joy. She was reluctant to even throw away the candy wrapper and carefully kept it.
As time went by, Shen Fengni saw Yu Qian's true colors. She was no longer the person who would be coaxed into a trance by a few pieces of candy. She only felt bored and disgusted by Yu Qian's actions.
Seeing this, several young staff members laughed and teased.
"Mr. Xiao Yu is so thoughtful. Miss Shen is so happy."
"I haven't had breakfast either. Does anyone feel sorry for me?"
"Did I get up early in the morning to go to work just to watch a love show? It's totally unreasonable..."
"Single dogs are jealous again today. I don't expect much. I just hope my partner can be half as gentle as Mr. Xiao Yu."
…
Yu Qian has been praised since she was a child, and she feels very happy about it.
He spoke a few humble words, chatted and laughed with the staff, and showed off in some ways.
Shen Fengni was bored and didn't respond.
Fortunately, the atmosphere had become lively, and everyone was talking to each other, so no one noticed her silence.
The room was brightly lit, and the wide makeup mirrors clearly reflected the expressions on everyone's faces. Everyone was in high spirits, smiling brightly, as if they were filled with genuine joy.
Shen Fengni suddenly felt curious.
How would these people feel if they knew what was about to happen? And what expression would appear on Yu Qian's face when she personally ruined the wedding?
Just the thought of it made her feel amused.
"What are you thinking about? You look so happy."
In the mirror in front, Yu Qian turned her head to look at her with a teasing tone.
"What else could it be? A wedding, of course."
Chen Fengni blinked her eyes, her expression normal, not feeling guilty at all for being caught.
Yu Qian curled her lips and looked into her eyes, "Feng Ni, I'm looking forward to it."
Shen Fengni laughed, "Me too."
