"Ye Lan, even if the Ye family finds you, what's the use? Look at you, a country bumpkin who is not presentable."
"That's ridiculous! You're still trying to steal Qingqing's marriage? Your mom already told my mom that even though Qingqing isn't her biological daughter, neither family wants you to be a part of this marriage. It's just that you're too unprepossessing."
"Hey, you're going to cry after just a few words? Then just go die. There's a lake behind you, jump in!"
thump.
The loud sound of someone falling into the water woke up the dazed Ye Lan. She suddenly opened her eyes and saw wallpaper with European-style decorations. The pungent smell of disinfectant wafted to her nose.
Where is she...?
There were footsteps approaching, and a woman's slightly sharp and harsh voice came from the side.
"Awake? Then take your medicine. Don't waste time. There are a bunch of guests waiting downstairs. I've already delayed so many things because of you."
As he spoke, a few pills were thrown beside the pillow.
Ye Lan narrowed her eyes slightly and ignored him.
The woman tutted her tongue when she saw this and urged impatiently, "Really? You're going to die after being told a few words. You're bringing shame to the Ye family. Hurry up, everyone's waiting for you. Take the medicine quickly!"
As she spoke, she walked to the head of the bed, grabbed the pills and was about to stuff them into Ye Lan's mouth.
However, as soon as he stretched out his hand, his wrist was pinched.
Ye Lan applied a little force with his fingertips, and there was a click. The woman in front of the bed suddenly changed her expression.
"ah!"
Screams echoed throughout the room.
Ye Lan slowly sat up, his eyes slightly lowered to the woman, making sure he had never seen her before.
"You, you, you dare to hit me?!" Su Jiahui, who fell to the ground, covered her twisted wrist and stared at the girl on the bed with wide eyes, her heart filled with shock and anger.
How dare this softie?!
Ye Lan still ignored her and looked around.
At this moment, the room was pushed open.
Su Manyu, dressed like a noblewoman in a dark green cheongsam, walked in. Seeing the scene in the room, she was stunned for a moment, "Jiahui! How did you get into this state?!"
She strode over without even looking at Ye Lan, but helped Su Jiahui up from the ground with a look of heartache in her eyes.
"Sister, I'm still your good daughter!" Su Jiahui complained angrily as she stood up. "I asked her to take medicine out of kindness, but not only did she not appreciate it, she hit me and broke my hand!"
"What?" Su Manyu was shocked when she heard that. Without thinking twice, she turned around and criticized Ye Lan harshly, "Ye Lan, I don't care about your usual mischief, but how could you hit your aunt? Apologize to me immediately!"
Ye Lan didn't feel that she needed to apologize. After all, it was the other party who attempted to use violence against her first.
She stared at Su Manyu's face, frowned slightly, and a strange memory flooded into her mind.
This body has the same name as her, also called Ye Lan.
It turns out that this little girl who grew up in the countryside found her wealthy parents through a family search program last month.
But her wealthy parents had already adopted a child to replace her, and after she came back, they looked down on her academic performance and petty behavior.
In order to maintain the family's dignity, the Ye family decided to make her the second daughter and a close friend of the fake daughter Ye Qingqing.
She had been unconscious because she fell into the water. As for the reason for the fall...
Ye Lan narrowed his eyes slightly, and a hint of danger flashed across his expression.
"What are you still standing there for? Don't you even want to listen to me now?" Su Manyu was so angry that her heart ached when she saw her ignoring her. She looked down upon her even more. "Forget it, forget it. Hurry up and change your clothes, wash your face, and come downstairs with me to meet the guests."
Ye Lan was still wearing a wet evening gown and was indeed feeling uncomfortable. She ignored the two people in front of her and walked into the bathroom. When she looked up and saw herself in the mirror, she fell silent for a moment.
“…”
Black smoky eyeshadow, dead Barbie pink lips, monkey butt blush, and a colorful fluorescent dress. Even with the lights off, you can perform a moving living cake show.
Taste is hard to judge.
But after a quick thought, she realized that the original owner had been cheated.
Tonight is the banquet held by the Ye family to officially announce her identity after the sensational rich family recognition program, and it is also her birthday.
The original owner, who had just been brought from the countryside to the city, had no idea how sinister people are. She believed her new classmate's suggestion, bought an evening dress, and put on makeup to look like a ghost.
The other party wanted to embarrass the original owner at the banquet, but unfortunately the original owner heard the whole truth before it even started. The two parties had a fierce quarrel by the lake, which led to the fall into the lake.
Unexpectedly, the original owner died before he could even catch his breath.
After finishing his recollection, Ye Lan pulled himself back to his senses and curled the corners of his mouth coldly.
Since she has taken possession of someone else's body, she can still help to avenge this grudge.
Thinking of this, she turned on the faucet, removed the makeup on her entire face, went to the cloakroom next door to pick out a new dress, and then went out.
Su Manyu and Su Morou couldn't wait and left first, but she didn't care. She opened the door and walked straight to the stairs.
The first floor lobby of the Ye family.
Under the bright lights, all the wealthy families in Jiangcheng gathered together, and the noble young men and rich young ladies toasted each other among the elegantly dressed ladies, weaving a luxurious scene of the upper class.
During this time, many young ladies were gathered together, looking towards the second floor from time to time and laughing.
"I just heard that the person is fine. He will be down soon. Haha, there will be some good shows to watch."
"I'm going to have to take a picture of her death pose and post it online so she can die in the same way again."
"Hmph, if she bullies Qingqing, I'll make sure she can't survive in Tianhai."
…
As the group chatted, Ye Qingqing, who was surrounded in the middle, held her wine glass and remained silent. When everyone's conversation briefly ended, she frowned slightly and said worriedly, "Don't be like this. After all, Ye Lan is the true daughter of the Ye family, and I..."
She lowered her head, looking a little sad.
Seeing this, several wealthy daughters immediately spoke up to comfort her, "How can she compare to you, Qingqing? You're the daughter of a prestigious family who received an elite education. Your every move and gesture is far superior to that country bumpkin. With her usual timid look, wearing glasses and not even daring to look up and speak, who would want to play with her?"
"Well, this isn't what she wanted." Ye Qingqing sighed, as if with regret, but the corners of her lips unconsciously curled up. "Okay, everyone, stop talking about unhappy things. Today is my birthday, and my parents said they prepared a big cake. Let's cut the cake together later."
Hearing this, the attention of several wealthy women was immediately diverted, and they echoed enviously, "Qingqing, your parents are so good to you. They invited all the wealthy families in Jiangcheng to celebrate your birthday. This alone is a million times better than that Ye Lan."
Upon hearing this, Ye Qingqing's smile deepened.
That’s right, tonight’s banquet was specially prepared for her. As for Ye Lan, who had just been recognized, he was just a foil.
She chuckled softly, glanced upwards casually, but was instantly frozen in place.
