The room was pitch - black.
Xia Weilan curled up on the cold cement floor.
Not far away, the door creaked. A naked man and woman were entangled in a frenzy.
After a long while, the man got off the woman and walked up to Xia Weilan.
He pinched her chin, his eyes full of mockery. "Have you seen clearly? I've never liked you, you stupid woman. The woman I love has always been Ruo Lin."
"Ugh!..."
Xia Weilan's stomach churned uncontrollably.
"Hehe, yes, I was so stupid!" With bloodshot eyes, Xia Weilan looked a bit hideous. "Ouyang Mingqi, for you, I married Mo Beichen, stole his business secrets, and transferred my shares in the Xia Corporation to you. You said you'd love me forever. It turns out it was all a lie!"
Back then, she had fallen head - over - heels for him.
For him, she had betrayed her husband, fallen out with her grandfather, and become the disgraced wild - duck heiress in the upper - class circle.
But she didn't care. As long as she had his love, she could fight the whole world.
Who would have thought that those sweet words were just a means for him to use her.
After destroying the Mo Corporation and getting the Xia Corporation, he imprisoned her and humiliated her without end.
"Xia Weilan, I've told you to get out of the capital and stop being a usurper. But you just wouldn't listen. Now the retribution is here. You're the heir of the Xia family, but now you're worse than a beggar. I don't know how you feel, but I'm extremely happy. Hahaha..."
Xia Ruolin threw her head back and laughed, full of pride.
Although she was the granddaughter of the Xia family, after the unexpected death of her only uncle, Xia Zhengchen, she should have been the heir.
But that old fool, Xia Ming, had found this country bumpkin, Xia Weilan, from some backwater place and claimed she was Xia Zhengchen's daughter, stealing everything from her.
Xia Weilan shouted hysterically, "Xia Ruolin, you drugged and killed grandfather. One day you'll get your just deserts!"
She dug her fingers into the ground so hard that all ten of them were scraped raw.
If it weren't for her severed foot tendons that left her unable to stand, she would have torn Xia Ruolin to pieces!
Xia Ruolin sneered nonchalantly. "Retribution? Aren't you experiencing it now?
Oh, by the way, you don't know yet. Mo Beichen is dead—he jumped into the river for you!
Ouyang Mingqi said you were trapped at the bottom of the river. He wanted to save you, so he jumped in without hesitation. By the time they fished him out, he had no breath left.
I'm here today to send you to the underworld to accompany him. Since he liked you so much, burning a stack of paper money for him is not as good as sending you there."
Mo Beichen!
He?…
Xia Weilan's heart tightened suddenly, and she felt a pain that made it hard to breathe.
It's impossible! It can't be!
While she was in a daze, Xia Ruolin had already grabbed a dagger and "ripped" it across her face.
"Ah!" Xia Weilan trembled all over in pain. Her eyes were dry and sore, but not a single tear could fall.
Xia Ruolin said crazily, "I've ruined your looks. Let's see if Mo Beichen will still like you in hell!"
How could this low - class and humble girl deserve a man like Mo Beichen, who was like a god, to die for her?
"Pfft!" Xia Weilan lowered her head and spat out a large mouthful of blood.
When she looked up again, her black pupils had turned blood - red.
With boundless hatred, she gasped out her last words, "Xia Ruolin, if there's an afterlife, I'll make you and Ouyang Mingqi beg for death but not be able to die and beg for life but not be able to live!"
Five minutes later, Ouyang Mingqi stroked Xia Ruolin's hair and said with glee, "Honey, what should we do with this bitch's body?"
"Cut it into pieces and burn it to ashes!"
"Hot..."
Xia Weilan kicked off the quilt, rubbed her aching head, and struggled to sit up in bed.
Bed?
She suddenly opened her eyes.
Wasn't she killed by that scumbag and that bitch?
She looked around. There was a luxurious crystal chandelier and shiny golden wallpaper.
This was—Fuli Imperial City!
Xia Weilan couldn't help but gasp. Fuli Imperial City was the biggest nightclub in the capital, a paradise for the rich.
She had been here once, when she was eighteen and was sold here by her mother for two million.
Was she reborn?
She looked down at her fair and tender arms and legs and rubbed her flawless face.
She was really reborn!
She took a few deep breaths and burst into laughter.
God had really been kind to her. At eighteen, nothing had started yet. There was still time.
In this life, she would kill her enemies with her own hands and prevent the tragedy from happening again!
"Bang!"
At this moment, the door was kicked open, and four drunk men staggered in.
One of them, a bald and fat man, said, "Sister Hua wasn't lying to us. This girl is young and pure. It must be really exciting to play with her! I can't hold back anymore. I'll go first."
He showed a lecherous smile and lunged at Xia Weilan with outstretched hands.
The other three naturally didn't want to be left behind. Without even bothering to close the door, they rushed over impatiently.
Xia Weilan sneered. This situation was exactly the same as in her previous life.
In her previous life, this was the third day after she was sold to Fuli Imperial City. Sister Hua had tried everything, even using needles and confinement, but she just wouldn't submit.
In the end, they had no choice but to drug her, knock her out, and send her to this room to be violated by a group of old men.
The weak her had screamed desperately but couldn't stop these demons.
It was Ouyang Mingqi who had passed by and saved her. From then on, she had been grateful and was used by him until there was nothing left.
But in this life, it wasn't necessary. She wouldn't wait for him to save her.
No one's dirty hands could touch her body except Mo Beichen's!
She had learned ancient martial arts from her grandfather for several years in her previous life. Although she wasn't very skilled, she should be more than a match for these men.
But when she raised her hand, she found that her body was weak and had no strength. Without the right physical condition, the moves were useless.
Seeing that the bald man had already climbed onto the bed, she grabbed the flower vase on the bedside table and smashed it.
Then, without hesitation, she stabbed the sharp end of the broken vase into the man's arm.
Blood spurted onto the white quilt, making Xia Weilan's eyes look as terrifying as if they had been soaked in blood.
"Ah!… Murderer! Murderer!"
The men came here for fun. As soon as something happened, they panicked and ran out of the room shouting.
Xia Weilan calculated that Ouyang Mingqi would pass by at this time. She forced out a few tears and pretended to be scared as she ran out.
Although she wished she could kill Ouyang Mingqi, she had to let him take her out. Otherwise, Sister Hua would definitely beat her to death first.
"Oof!"
Sure enough, as soon as Xia Weilan stepped out of the room, she bumped into a man.
He was tall and thin, wearing a gray suit. A pair of silver - framed glasses sat on his fair and handsome face.
With that unique scholarly air among the rich second - generation, who else could it be but Ouyang Mingqi?
Xia Weilan hid her hatred and grabbed his arm. "Sir, can you save me? I was sold here by force. I have an old and helpless grandma at home waiting for me. Even if you don't save me, please help me call the police, okay?"
She knew Ouyang Mingqi too well. He was a master at feigning benevolence and righteousness.
Nicknames like "the generous philanthropist" and "the living Bodhisattva" were given to him. So in this public place with so many people watching, he would never stand by and watch a weak and pitiful girl like her die.
