"Hey, he's the one I picked out after careful consideration. He's very good-looking and his temperament is acceptable. I just wanted to shut you two up so you wouldn't say I'm always playing around and never home, and that I won't find a good family to marry. Don't you know who I am? The apple of the eye of the Ye family. Do you think just anyone is good enough for me?"
Xiang Wan turned her head unconvinced and raised her eyebrows triumphantly at She Rui. Her expression was so contemptible that Ye's father couldn't help but raise his hand to teach her a lesson. However, Rui was in a great mood and revealed a smug smile that was both disgusting and disapproving. This made Ye's parents frown, their faces full of worry and disapproval.
She Rui didn't step forward to introduce himself, which greatly displeased Ye's father, who secretly resolved to get him away from Xiang Wan. Ye's mother, on the other hand, pulled Xiang Wan aside and quietly inquired about the situation.
“Zhiqiu, why did you bring such a person back? His name is She Rui, right? He looks like a scoundrel, with those flirtatious eyes that attract women. If you two get together, you'll suffer. I will never agree to you marrying him.”
"Huh? Mom, why are you thinking so far ahead?" Xiang Wan pouted, her tone willful and unreasonable. "I'm going to find him. I just enjoy watching him flirt. Besides, didn't my sister already find you a decent son-in-law? Why should I be like her?"
"You little rascal, you're getting more and more excited as you talk. Sigh, speaking of your sister, I've noticed she's been acting a bit strange lately. She likes to hide in her room all day long. Could something be going on..."
"What could possibly be wrong with her? It's normal to have some pre-wedding jitters before getting married, but it's all the same after marriage."
"Why are you saying that, girl? She's your sister, isn't she the one you care about the most? Oh, if she doesn't get married, are you planning not to come back?"
"Mom, what are you saying? How could I not come to my sister's wedding? I even prepared a gift for her. By the way, where is my sister now? I'm going to go see her."
"Don't make a mistake. The wedding is coming up soon. Give her a good talking-to."
"knew."
Xiang Wan impatiently agreed, turned her head and saw She Rui talking to Ye's father, so she waved to him, signaling him to wait where he was, and then went to Ye Zhi Qiu's dressing room.
Xiang Wan was really eager to see what expression the person who pushed the original owner into the canyon and stole her older sister's identity would have when she saw her now.
Along the way, Xiang Wan ran hurriedly, not caring about etiquette or manners at all, as if she were anxiously about to see her loved ones.
"They have such a good sisterly relationship!"
"I'm so envious. If I had a sister like that, I'd be laughing in my sleep just thinking about it."
"Alright, let's just think about it and get to work."
Hearing the waiters' chatter along the way, Xiang Wan laughed even more heartily, her steps quickening. Her eagerness to see her sister was even greater than Ye Zhi Qiu's previous behavior.
As soon as she pushed open the door, only a makeup artist was there, touching up her makeup while muttering, "Miss Ye, the wedding is coming up soon. We'll have makeup artists on hand, but even the best makeup artist can't capture the bride's happiness. You need to smile more; the wedding is where you create beautiful memories for a lifetime."
Here, tilt your eyes up slightly. Okay, add some more powder, and touch up the eyeliner again. Hmm, perfect!
Xiang Wan silently walked a short distance behind Ye Zhi Qiu, and looked at her reflection in the mirror with a sinister and evil smile, like a demon from hell staring fiercely at her.
Ye Zhi Qiu let out an "Ah!" and trembled all over. She turned around abruptly and saw Xiang Wan, who had already adjusted her smile, standing behind her. She involuntarily jumped up, knocking everything on the dressing table to the ground.
"Oh, Miss Ye, what are you doing? Your makeup is all messed up, you have to redo it."
The makeup artist spoke with a worried expression, bending down to pick up the things on the ground.
Xiang Wan smiled sweetly at Ye Zhi Qiu and exclaimed in surprise, "Sister, what happened to your face? You look like a ghost!"
"Who are you?"
"Sister, what's wrong? Don't you even recognize me? We're sisters, the best of sisters, your closest person!"
Ye Zhi Qiu's chest heaved, still shaken, clearly startled by Xiang Wan's sudden appearance. But she quickly calmed down and said to the makeup artist, "Please go out for a moment, we have something to discuss."
“Miss, there’s not much time left. I need to touch up my makeup again, I…”
"It's okay, you can go out first, I'll call you later."
"All right."
The makeup artist packed up her things, nodded to Wan Dian, went out, and closed the door.
"Speak, who are you?"
Ye Zhi Qiu calmed down, his expression unchanged, but his heart was beating a little fast. With Xiang Wan's keen hearing, he could hear it clearly.
"Sister, you really don't know who I am?" Xiang Wan said innocently, her face showing indescribable disappointment and sadness, completely revealing the Ye Zhi Qiu of the past to the real person. "It's just a trip out, why pretend you don't know me? Ugh, this is so annoying. I'll take you with me next time, then you won't be angry anymore, right?"
Ye Zhi Qiu clenched his fist suddenly, his eyes never leaving Xiang Wan, trying to find clues from her expression.
"Take a good look again, and see who I really am!"
Xiang Wan slowly approached, placing her entire face in front of Ye Zhi Qiu. Her expression gradually changed from Ye Zhi Qiu's arrogance to Xiang Wan's usual composure and tenderness towards her younger sister. As Ye Zhi Qiu's breathing became heavier, she suddenly stretched out her hands, making a choking gesture. Her eyes instantly turned sharp and bloodthirsty, and her voice became rough, shrill, and terrifying, "Give me back my life! Give me back my life!"
"ah!!!"
Ye Zhi Qiu suddenly stepped back, only to be blocked by the dressing table, and sat directly on it, with the mirror behind her. As she sat down, the bottles and jars that the makeup artist had just arranged on the dressing table crashed to the floor with a clatter, tumbling and rolling all over the place.
"Ghost! Ghost! Don't come any closer! Don't come any closer!"
Ye Zhi Qiu was quite startled by Xiang Wan's sudden action. He grabbed wildly at the dressing table, throwing whatever he could find at her. Because of his fear, he didn't aim properly, and few of the things he threw landed on Xiang Wan.
Xiang Wan gave a wicked smile, slowly returning to normal. She stared intently at the mirror behind Ye Zhi Qiu, her face suddenly filled with fear. She stumbled backward, blurting out in a panic, "Ye Xiang Wan, why is your face covered in blood? Ah, don't grab me! It wasn't me who hurt you, it was her, it was her!"
The sheer terror in her eyes and the incoherent words made Ye Zhi Qiu, who was already terrified, freeze. She slowly turned her head and saw Xiang Wan's sinister expression in the mirror. Her eyes rolled back and she fainted.
This was the first time in her life she had dressed up as a ghost, and Xiang Wan looked at herself in the mirror with an admiring gaze.
There are no ghosts in the world; it's people with guilty consciences who scare themselves. No matter how evil a ghost is, it cannot overcome the wickedness of the human heart.
Ye Zhi Qiu, since you want Ye Xiang Wan to be a ghost, then I'll show you! This is just the beginning, so you'd better hold on!
