Chapter 40
Destiny’s Nemesis
You Lingling: [Really? I did not expect Miao Ruiming to actually agree, thank you so much! Send me the address, I’ll go over early tomorrow...]
Ming Liuyi: [I’ll get my driver to pick you up. You just need to prepare in advance.]
You Lingling: [I’m so lucky to have Mrs. Moneybags as a friend.]
Ming Liuyi: [I’ll talk to you later. I still have class with He Yanfeng later, and I’m going to the bookstore in the afternoon to get some books. If you have time, let’s go together...]
Although He Yanfeng was still a minor, Ming Liuyi still chose to have lessons with him in the living room. After all, a man and a woman still required vigilance when alone in a room together, especially at this critical moment after pubescence.
In the afternoon, Ming Liuyi took You Lingling to the bookstore. They decided to have an afternoon tea along the way.
You Lingling saw that there were a lot of people at the bookstore today and thought it was a little unusual. “Is there an event today?”
Ming Liuyi was also very surprised, but she did not think too much about it. The two of them picked up a lot of books, and even some novelty gadgets. Just as Ming Liuyi casually picked up a book on basic level English and?began flipping through it, a familiar female voice came from beside her.
“Ming Liuyi? Is that really you? You’re actually learning basic English now?”
Ming Liuyi raised her head and saw Cai Rixi standing in front of her, all dressed up. She could not help but curse in her heart. ‘The enemy of fate is here!’
Ming Liuyi was the one who had married Yao Zizhou in place of her. She was also the young mistress of the Cai family. When Yao Zizhou woke from his coma, this Cai Rixi would swoop in to reap the rewards. In order to take hold of the Cai and Yao families, she incited Yao Zizhou to take revenge on Ming Liuyi. Half of Ming Liuyi’s fate in the book was caused by Cai Rixi.
Ming Liuyi’s body trembled without her realizing it. That was the memory of her physical body, which made her feel angry and afraid.
However, Ming Liuyi did not come alone this time. You Lingling was beside her. She held on to Ming Liuyi’s trembling body and looked at Cai Rixi. “Hey, who’s this? People who don’t know better would think that a peacock had escaped the zoo. What’s with the flashy outfit?”
Cai Rixi’s face was tense, and her eyes narrowed slightly. Before she could speak, Yao Ziyang rushed over.
Ming Liuyi wanted to shout, ‘Oh, great, here comes another on!’
Yao Ziyang was looking for Cai Rixi, but he did not expect to bump into Ming Liuyi. “Why are you here?”
You Lingling answered straightaway, “Does your family own the bookstore? Who are you? Who cares why we’re here!”
Yao Ziyang was about to say that this business was indeed owned by the Yao family, but he was interrupted by Cai Rixi. “Liuyi, I’m holding a press conference for my new book today. If you want to come, I’ll get the staff to arrange it for you.” Then, she thought of something and continued, “By the way, are you going to start learning English again? It’s just that, I don’t think it’s suitable for you to study basic English by yourself. After all, you did not attend school all that much. I suggest you find a teacher. If you need anything, feel free to find me.”
“Why are you suddenly learning English?” Yao Zizhou frowned.
At that moment, Ming Liuyi’s body finally regained its composure, and she could speak normally. “Do I need to report to you what I’m learning?” With that said, she got ready to leave with You Lingling. She did not want to waste time on Cai Rixi.
However, Ming Liuyi’s reaction surprised Cai Rixi. In the past, Ming Liuyi was a yes-man and could at most wield a little more authority at home. But now that Yao Zizhou was in a vegetative state, what was her title of Madam Yao worth? With Yao Ziyang here, she actually dared to talk like this?
Cai Rixi really did not understand where Ming Liuyi’s confidence came from. Whether it was in terms of education or class status, she was superior to Ming Liuyi. Even if she were the real young mistress of the Cai family, what could she do? Ming Liuyi did not have the fate of becoming a young mistress, she was only destined to pave the way for Cai Rixi! Thinking about how Ming Liuyi had trembled when she first saw her, her heart felt even more carefree. But how did Ming Liuyi recover so quickly?
Yao Ziyang could not stand it anymore. “Ming Liuyi, don’t be so ungrateful. Not just anyone can attend this press conference for Cai Rixi’s new book. It’s hard to even get a ticket! Here, take this ticket and go have fun.”
Ming Liuyi simply rolled her eyes. For Cai Rixi’s new book, if it were not for the Cai family’s publicity and connections, would there have been a press conference to speak of? However, she could not be bothered to waste time here. Looking at Cai Rixi’s proud appearance, she said to Yao Ziyang, “Yao Ziyang! What’s wrong with you? Why are you helping an outsider to belittle me?” Then, she pulled You Lingling and left.
Yao Ziyang’s face turned green. Why did it sound like they had an abnormal relationship?
Cai Rixi’s expression turned even uglier. She had come into contact with Yao Ziyang because Yao Zizhou was crippled. This meant that she changed her fiancé from Yao Zizhou to Yao Ziyang. However, this b*tch Ming Liuyi had snatched everything away!
