Lin Mengru finally ushered in the most glorious moment of her life. She proudly tried on Vera Wang's latest wedding dress. The shop assistant half-knelt on the ground and carefully adjusted the hem of Lin Mengru's dress, which made her vanity reach its peak.
"Miss Lin, is this set alright? Or should I get you a few more styles?"
Lin Mengru looked at herself in the mirror, clearly satisfied, yet she deliberately nitpicked to show her noble status.
"This outfit is alright! It's just that the neckline is a bit too tight, and the style is a little too simple." She complained that it wasn't glamorous enough.
The shop assistant was quite disdainful. He had seen all sorts of people working here, but he had never seen anyone so pretentious.
"Okay! Miss Lin, let me get you a few more styles," the sales assistant said respectfully.
Just then, a steady footstep came and stopped behind the sofa.
"Mengru, how is it? Is there anything you like?" The person who came was Li Churan. He was late because of something urgent at the company.
"Chu Ran, why are you only arriving now?" Upon seeing Li Chu Ran, Lin Mengru immediately transformed into a shy little woman, grabbing his hand and acting coquettishly.
"Chu Ran, look! Isn't it beautiful?" Lin Mengru twirled around in place, showing off her wedding dress.
"It looks beautiful, of course it looks beautiful!" He was finally going to marry his first love, his white moonlight, and Li Churan still felt a sense of unreality.
In a daze, Li Churan seemed to return to that night, the night before he transferred schools. He had been suppressing his grief for a long time, and finally fell ill.
As he delirious with fever, he heard those slightly cool little hands, that blurry, beautiful figure, and those soft, indistinct whispers in his ear.
He felt incredibly hot, as if his body was filled with magma, ready to erupt at any moment.
He pulled the figure into his arms, rolling and exploring her. The girl in his arms struggled at first, but quickly yielded to his movements.
The next day, when Li Churan woke up, the house was empty.
There was just an extra notebook on the table; it was the one he had given to Mengru a few days ago.
"This wedding might be a bit small-scale, Mengru, will you feel wronged?" Li Churan touched Lin Mengru's temple with some guilt. After all, he and Ye Ning had just divorced, and many things needed to be done discreetly.
"How could that be! As long as I can be with you, I won't feel wronged by anything," Lin Mengru said sweetly.
What was there to feel aggrieved about? She would soon be able to legitimately spend Li Churan's money; she was overjoyed.
In order to make Li Churan feel the grievances in her heart and feel indebted to her, Lin Mengru deliberately and unintentionally revealed a trace of sorrow.
"Mengru, don't worry. I'm sorry you had to go through this. I'll definitely give you a grander wedding later." Li Churan kissed Lin Mengru's forehead affectionately.
"Okay!" Lin Mengru nodded obediently.
Instead of holding a wedding ceremony, it would be better to just give her real money!
By the way, now that Li Churan feels indebted to her, it's time to bring up that matter.
"Chu Ran!" Lin Mengru tugged at Li Chu Ran's sleeve. "We're getting married soon, so can we move in together?"
Wang Fuli has been looking for her a lot these past few days, so moving out will be a good way to avoid him.
Most importantly, she can finally live in a villa and enjoy the life of a truly wealthy person.
After meeting Li Churan for the first time at an event, she began frantically searching for information about Li Churan online. From the moment she saw the mansion where Li Churan lived, she felt a surge of ambition; she wanted to become the mistress of this mansion.
"Chu Ran, don't you want to?" Lin Mengru asked, her eyes brimming with tears.
"This," he felt a little awkward as he and Mengru lived in the villa that Ye Ning had lived in.
Li Churan hesitated for a moment, but nodded nonetheless. Mengru had already suffered because of the wedding, and he didn't want to refuse her any more requests.
"That's great!" Lin Mengru excitedly hugged Li Churan's neck.
That afternoon, Lin Mengru couldn't wait to pack her things and arrived at the villa she had always dreamed of in Li Churan's Maybach.
"Chu Ran, from now on we'll start our new life here." She had finally officially replaced Ye Ning as the mistress of the Li family.
With trembling hands, Lin Mengru turned the doorknob; her blissful life as a wealthy wife was finally about to begin.
"What?"
Lin Mengru's smile froze the moment she opened the door.
What's going on?
Lin Mengru stared in disbelief at the unfinished house in front of her.
There was no furniture, appliances, curtains, or carpets; and exposed wires where there used to be a chandelier were now lying.
Even the windows have disappeared.
"What's wrong, Mengru? What did you see?" Li Churan leaned over, puzzled.
"What's going on?" Did Ye Ning tear the whole house down?
"How could this be?!" Lin Mengru went inside to check everything in disbelief.
Dining room, kitchen, dressing room, balcony, bathroom.
There's really nothing left; even the showerhead in the bathroom has been removed.
Her dream mansion, her dream villa.
It turned out to be a bare-bones house.
She even wanted to post it on her WeChat Moments to show off in front of Ye Ning!
Lin Mengru didn't cry when Shangguan Rong slapped her, but now she's crying because she feels wronged.
That despicable woman, Ye Ning, is clearly doing this on purpose.
"Chu Ran, call Ye Ning. This villa is yours. Why is she destroying it like this? She's clearly just jealous and can't stand to see us doing well!" She grabbed Li Chu Ran's hand, pouting and acting coquettishly.
