"Ah Ci," he didn’t glance her way, his eyes only saw Mu Qingci, gently and dotingly taking her backpack, it was the first time she saw the proud and independent Mu Qingci smile so sweetly and happily. The two of them stood together, perfectly matched, yet the sight pierced deeply into her eyes. "Ah Shu, his name is Ji Huaixi, my boyfriend, he studies at a men’s high school nearby," "Huaixi, her name is Yun Shu, my best girlfriend," The young man nodded at her indifferently, the look in his eyes was cool and detached, never filled with the same warmth and affection he bestowed on Mu Qingci. Back then, she had a dream that her shadow would be in his eyes, and for that dream, she strove tirelessly. She was increasingly tolerant and increasingly sick, inextricably in love, hurt all over. She grew to hate Mu Qingci. If not for her, Ji Huaixi would have seen her presence... Each day her heart was tormented as if being fried in oil, and gradually, she wandered down a path of no return. Later, a man dressed in a suit came to Mu Qingci, telling her that she was the long-lost daughter of a wealthy family, and that her parents had gone through hardships to find her, asking her to return home with them. Mu Qingci didn’t hide this from her. What was her feeling at the time? She was insanely jealous. The Cinderella was about to become a princess. Mu Qingci didn’t want to leave Ji Huaixi, and she had no feelings for her biological parents she hadn’t seen for years. Yun Shu volunteered to sacrifice herself for their happiness, and Mu Qingci was very grateful. It was the first time Ji Huaixi truly looked at her. Thɪs chapter is updatᴇd by novel✶fire.net She sneered at their stupidity in her heart, following the man in black to get into the BMW that would set her on the path to becoming a princess. Her plan was perfect, she thought. Once she replaced Mu Qingci and became the true daughter of a wealthy family, she would have the means to be with Ji Huaixi, and what waited for Mu Qingci would be a very miserable fate. Dreams are skeletal, reality is cruel. The so-called wealthy family was nothing but a madwoman and a dilapidated villa. She was tortured and scolded by the woman every day. Only later did she learn that Mu Qingci was the illegitimate daughter of the family head, who died childless and commanded his wife to bring back any outside children to continue the family line. How could the wife tolerate her, tormenting her every day. She nearly died of anger. What princess, what wealthy lady, she lived a life worse than that of a servant. Just when she was about to flee, she overheard the mistress and the butler committing adultery and learned the secret that had been passed down in the family for over a hundred years, the lure of a vast treasure hoard. She had not suffered for nothing, so she stayed, bearing humiliations and secretly finding out the location of the Jade Pendant, as well as the exact site of the treasure. Regrettably, she only found the location of one pendant; there weren’t even shadows of the other two. After stealing the Jade Pendant, she burned the house to the ground and fled back home that night. In that era, forensic technology was not advanced. She wiped away all traces, everyone simply thought it was an accidental fire, and no one connected it to her. After returning home, her hatred for Mu Qingci grew even stronger. She took her place and suffered while Mu Qingci enjoyed her days with Ji Huaixi in love, as if such fortune came free of cost... So that was the origin of the whole affair. That’s why Yun Shu later drugged her grandfather, ruining what her grandparents had, so she could take advantage of the situation and ascend. When her grandfather still did not change his heart, she harbored resentment and plotted revenge, not shying away from using her own son in her vendetta against Ji Huaixi and Mu Qingci. She got her revenge, but created one tragedy after another. Mu Qingci, Ji Huaixi, Ji Lanyi, Yun Shen, Miaomiao, and her, all of them were the victims of Yun Shu’s revenge... What a shameless woman, with a black heart and rotten lungs, even a thousand cuts could not appease the hate in her heart. Controlling the hatred in his heart, Yun Ya asked in a weak voice, "Where is the other Jade Pendant located?" By then, there was nothing left to hide. Yun Shu scoffed, "I only know it’s in a household with the surname Mu in Yunzhou, a shame that after so many years, there’s still no progress, but it shouldn’t take too much longer...." "By then, I will have the treasure, possessing the world’s wealth. What have I to fear then?" Yun Ya scoffed, "Wealth is but a worldly possession, you can neither bring it with you at birth nor take it with you at death, no matter how much you have, you can’t take it with you after you die." "Who says I’m going to die?" Yun Shu curved her lips, "I haven’t told you one thing, in that treasure, there lies the secret to immortality, and I will definitely achieve everlasting life."
