Liu Yingmei was born into a family that extremely favors boys over girls. Growing up in such an environment, if she didn't have deep enough scheming and strategy, it would have been difficult for her to break free from the shackles that bound her.
However, what is amazing is that she not only successfully got out of that oppressive family of origin, but also demonstrated extraordinary skills in interpersonal relationships.
Her friendship with Si Nian was the fruit of her careful planning. When she first met Si Nian, she was acutely aware of Si Nian's wealthy family background. From that moment on, she began to spare no effort to please and curry favor with Si Nian.
Si Nian, on the other hand, comes from a large traditional family.
Due to the large size and complex relationships of her family, she has had a rather cold personality since childhood and always keeps a certain distance when interacting with others, so she has almost no real friends around her.
But Liu Yingmei did not back down because of Si Nian's indifferent attitude. Instead, she seemed to have determined her goal. Regardless of Si Nian's always cold face, she insisted on getting close to her day after day.
Whether it is a greeting in the morning or companionship in the afternoon; whether it is giving a thoughtful little gift or lending a helping hand in time when Si Nian needs help... everything Liu Yingmei does is just right, which neither makes Si Nian feel bored, nor can it gradually penetrate into her life.
Finally, the simple and kind Si Nian was moved by Liu Yingmei's seemingly sincere friendship.
She mistakenly thought that Liu Yingmei was truly devoted to her and had no demands on her, so she opened her heart to her without reservation and regarded Liu Yingmei as her closest friend.
From then on, no matter where Si Nian went or what he did, Liu Yingmei would always follow him like a shadow.
They go to school together, go home together, go shopping together, eat together, and even say goodnight to each other before going to bed. In the eyes of outsiders, the two are simply inseparable good sisters.
When Liu Yingmei accompanied Si Nian to deliver something to Hua Shilei, the fleeting glimpse of Hua Shilei in his neat military uniform left a deep impression on Liu Yingmei's mind.
Whenever she thought of Hua Shilei's tall and straight figure, majestic demeanor, and handsome face, her heart would surge. Hua Shilei seemed like a star emitting charming light, shining into her life.
The indescribable confidence and innate dominance revealed by his tightly pursed lips made Liu Yingmei feel intimidated but unable to resist the urge to get closer.
Ever since meeting Hua Shilei, Liu Yingmei's heart has been set on Hua Shilei.
She cleverly asked Si Nian indirectly about everything about Hua Shilei.
Including his interests, hobbies, daily living habits, family background, etc.
Si Nian is a girl who is easily influenced by others. She grew up in a privileged environment and has never experienced the hardships of the world. To use the current fashionable words, she is simply a complete "silly naiveté".
Si Nian is like a pure and flawless pearl. She is kind-hearted and considerate. Like a flower blooming in the warm spring sun, she always radiates warmth and kindness.
Because of this, she was easily controlled by Liu Yingmei.
Many times, she would stand in Liu Yingmei's perspective and choose to believe every word and sentence she said without hesitation.
If Liu Yingmei took advantage of Si Nian's characteristics, she could easily push Si Nian into the trap carefully woven by Liu Yingmei.
At that time, although Si Nian and Hua Shilei could not be said to have a deep relationship, the two families were well matched and had a childhood marriage arrangement, so the two had long accepted each other.
Even if the relationship between two people is just a thin agreement on a piece of paper, it will more or less create some unique and special feelings between them, not to mention that the man is handsome and the woman is beautiful.
Especially Si Nian, she is introverted and shy, and has become dependent on the handsome and cold Hua Shilei.
But Si Nian always buried the love that was quietly sprouting and growing deep down, as if it was an extremely precious yet fragile treasure, and he was afraid that it would be destroyed by the wind and rain from the outside world if he was not careful.
Moreover, the longer this emotion lasted, the less she dared to reveal her feelings to anyone, let alone bravely confess her feelings to Hua Shilei.
In fact, Liu Yingmei had long seen through Si Nian's deep and passionate feelings for Hua Shilei.
This is not only due to her keen and meticulous observation, but also due to women's unique sensitivity and insight into love.
After all, the signs a girl shows when she's in love are as hard to conceal as the flowers blooming in spring.
However, what is puzzling is that Liu Yingmei, knowing Si Nian's feelings for Hua Shilei, still deliberately slandered Hua Shilei in front of Si Nian.
She accuses Hua Shilei of being cold-hearted and completely incapable of understanding other people's feelings.
She also claimed that he had a bad temper and a cruel character and was very likely to beat his wife in the future.
He even asserted with all his heart that Hua Shilei and Si Nian were from two completely different worlds and could not coexist harmoniously no matter what.
What's even more outrageous is that Liu Yingmei alarmistly declared that if Si Nian insisted on marrying Hua Shilei, then what awaited her would be a life full of suffering and torture.
At first, Si Nian didn't take Liu Yingmei's absurd remarks seriously, thinking they were just nonsense she made up out of nothing.
But as time went on, Liu Yingmei kept repeating those negative remarks day after day, and gradually, Si Nian's originally firm heart began to waver.
