"Do you think you can still walk?"
Lu Yuxi looked nervously at Lin Yiwen and said, "What are you trying to do? You're hurting me."
At this moment, Lu Maihe brought over a bottle of make-up remover with a smug look on her face.
"My dear sister, don't be afraid. Just as we were about to escape, Yiwen and I thought of a better plan." She took some make-up water and wiped it on Lu Yuxi's face.
Lu Yuxi felt a chill on the right side of her face. She tried to struggle with all her might but was held tightly by Lin Yiwen. She could only watch as Wang Maihe messed around on her face.
A minute passed.
Wang Maihe proudly took out a mirror and directed it at Lu Yuxi's face. "Sister, who did this to your face? It's so disgusting."
Seeing a girl who's right face had been destroyed, Lu Yuxi shouted crazily, "Take it away, take the mirror away! I don't want to look. I can't look. This isn't me." Lu Yuxi struggled so hard that Lin Yiwen almost let go of her.
She gave the perpetrator a big slap. The latter was shocked. Wang Maihe didn't expect this woman to have such a big reaction to her reflection.
Wang Maihe, her face still ringing from the slap, glared at Lu Yuxi angrily. Then she slapped back.
"B*tch, you actually dare to hit me. You're asking for a death sentence." She stomped her feet and, like a damsel in distress, turned to her lover. "Yiwen, this slut hit me. Are you going to stop it?"
Lin Yiwen comforted her caressingly, "Baby, don't cry. You’ll ruin your beauty if you cry. I'll carry out the plan now."
Lin Yiwen pulled the dumbfounded Lu Yuxi to the window and pushed it open. Lu Yuxi took a step back when she saw the distance from the window to the bottom floor.
"What do you want? I'm telling you, if you push me down, you won't be able to escape," Lu Yuxi threatened.
Lin Yiwen laughed, "Haha, don't forget who stays on the fifteenth floor."
Lu Yuxi's eyes widened. Wasn't the fifteenth floor her dressing room? "You wouldn't dare."
Seeing Lu Yuxi's disbelief, Wang Maihe, who was seated on the sofa while drinking her coffee, said, "Don't look at Yiwen like that. He doesn't love you, so he won't show mercy. He's with you for your money. When Yiwen pushes you down, I'll leave this room immediately."
"Then, when the guests downstairs see your face, they'll think that you committed suicide after you saw your reflection before your big day. Then, they'll look at the circumstances of the tragedy. It all makes sense. No one will suspect anything. Farewell, my dear sister."
Lu Yuxi pulled Lin Yiwen back in horror and said, "Yiwen, you declared your love for me. How could you push me down?"
Lin Yiwen struggled free from her grasp with a look of disgust. "Lu Yuxi, why don't you take a look at your face? Do you think you're worthy of someone like me? It makes me sick just looking at you."
Boom!
These words blasted Lu Yuxi like a strike of lightning.
Wang Maihe said impatiently, "Yiwen, do it!"
Lin Yiwen exerted force.
There was only the swoosh of a wedding dress fluttering across the wind.
Thud.
Lu Yuxi fell to the ground. Before she could recollect her surroundings, her white wedding dress was drenched red with blood. The eye-piercing color was terrifying.
Xiao Ran, who heard the sound, quickly rushed over to investigate. When she saw the shocking sight of the bride sprawled on the ground in her own blood, Xiao Ran dropped her wineglass and ran towards Lu Yuxi in panic.
When Lu Yuxi saw Xiao Ran approaching her, she smiled and said weakly, "Xiao Ran, goodbye. If there was a next life, you would still be my most beloved sister. I will definitely not let you suffer so much with me."
Lu Yuxi would never know how crazy Xiao Ran looked when she picked her up.
"Xiao Xi, if you leave, who will protect me?" asked the distressed sister.
"Xiao Xi, get up. School is over, Xiao Xi, " Xiao Ran shouted at Lu Yuxi's ear as she patted her sister awake.
Lu Yuxi mumbled and opened her confused eyes, saying, "Xiao Ran, I'm so tired. I can't take it anymore. Remember to call the police. Wang Maihe and Lin Yiwen want to harm me!"
Xiao Ran's mouth twitched when she heard Lu Yuxi's ridiculous words. She gritted her teeth and said,
"Wake up. You've already slept for two classes. The more you sleep, the more tired you become. Why are you still having nightmares? Seriously, hurry up. The preliminary English competition is about to begin." As she spoke, she took out the Chinese language book that Lu Yuxi had pressed under her hand and stuffed it into her backpack.
Lu Yuxi, on the other hand, was still disoriented.
'It was all a dream? Did I have a nightmare? That's impossible. How could the pain all over my body when I fell down the stairs be just a dream?'
Then, Lu Yuxi nervously raised her head and looked around the classroom. Her eyes widened in surprise.
This...
'Wasn't this my high school classroom?’ She touched her right cheek, subconsciously. There was no ugly scar. ‘What was going on? Could it be that I...
‘Had been reborn?’
Lu Yuxi wondered if the heavens had heard her desire to live and placed her in another world.
Xiao Ran glanced at Lu Yuxi, who was still looking around the classroom in a daze, and said somewhat indignantly,
"Still staring? It's all in your head. Everyone has left. Hurry up, or else we'll be late for the English competition!" Xiao Ran hurriedly pulled Lu Yuxi out of her daze and out of the classroom. They made their way to the competition field.
The English competition was an event organized by the school. It was open to any student from the school. Many competed at the event, from the preliminary stage and semi-finals, all the way to the final event where the last two students standing would have the chance to battle it out with other schools.
If Lu Yuxi remembered correctly, Wang Maihe would participate and would make it to the final competition. This was because Wang Maihe had not joined the Lu family yet and had not come to pretend to be her sister. The only reason she knew English was because her mother used to be an English teacher.
'Wang Maihe, I, Lu Yuxi, will make you return everything you owe me from my past life,' thought Lu Yuxi.
Many people participated at the event, and there were even more onlookers. Almost all the benches were filled. Xiao Ran and Lu Yuxi found a seat at the front and sat down. Sure enough, after a while, they spotted Wang Maihe appearing in the crowd.
Lu Yuxi narrowed her eyes and handed the bag to Xiao Ran.
"Xiao Ran, hold this for me. I want to go up to the competition. " Lu Yuxi emphasized the word "competition" as if she was announcing something to someone.
Yang ran kept looking at the handsome guy on the stage, and didn't pay attention to what Lu Yuxi said.
She waved her hand and said, "Go, go!" Xiao Ran only reacted after Lu Yuxi had walked far away. 'What did Lu Yuxi say just now about the competition?' She had been her classmate for almost three years, so how could she not know that Lu Yuxi knew English?
Eventually, the registration ended. The big prize waiting for the champion attracted more interested contestants than ever before.
The competition was a multi-person elimination system, with the teacher setting the questions. There were 100 items in total, and those who did not answer correctly were eliminated.
Lu Yuxi looked at the worried Xiao Ran below the stage and made an 'OK' gesture with her right hand, telling her not to worry.
It was no wonder that Xiao Ran was worried. Lu Yuxi's English back in high school could not have been any worse. She always held back the class and gave the teacher a headache.
However, in her previous life, after she was raped by the men hired by Lin Yiwen, her picture was exposed. Her father could only send her abroad to study to avoid the limelight of media. Two years abroad greatly improved Lu Yuxi's Engligh.
At the competition, people were eliminated left and right. Lu Yuxi passed five rounds and defeated six generals, which greatly surprised Xiao Ran below the stage.
Was this her Lu Yuxi? Why did she not recognize her.
Soon, the 100 questions were given, and the competition ended. Only one-third of the audience was left on stage. After the remaining contestants' names were recorded for the final competition, they exited the stage.
Lu Yuxi waved her hand in front of Xiao Ran's eyes and asked, "Little beauty, the competition is over. What are you thinking about?"
Xiao Ran came back to her senses and said, "Lu Yuxi, why didn't I know you knew English? I didn't expect you to be so good at the language. Can you give me tutorials?'
Lu Yuxi smiled helplessly. This girl had not changed at all. "Okay, okay. I'll teach you. Let's eat. My treat."
The two girls laughed and left.
They did not know that a pair of jealous eyes were looking at them from a distance.
'Lu Yuxi, I, Wang Maihe, will steal everything you love and hold dear. Just you wait!'
