Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Zhuang Meifeng arrived at the other mansion in her home. After four days, she finally met her own family again.

Her parents and sister were there. As promised, they were safe except for being held under house arrest.

“Meifeng, where have you been all this time? On the night of the Qingming Festival, did you know something big happened at home?”

Seeing his oldest daughter enter the room, a wave of rage surged through Zhuang Tiande. If Zhuang Meifeng hadn’t canceled the engagement on her own and returned from the city, none of this would have happened!

Zhuang Meifeng hugged her mother, Zhao Bomin, tightly and ignored Zhuang Tiande. Soon after, the tears she had been holding back finally began streaming down her beautiful cheeks.

After a minute, Zhuang Meifeng gently released herself from her mother’s embrace. Wiping her tears, she turned to look at the two experts that had followed her and said, “I want to talk to my family, please leave.”

They didn’t make a single move. They had orders to monitor Zhuang Meifeng. Naturally, they wouldn’t leave.

Without any choice, Zhuang Meifeng gave up on making them leave. She pulled Zhao Bomin and Zhuang Meina’s hands as they sat down on the sofa.

Staring at Zhuang Tiande coldly, she shoved the letter of proof for the cancellation of her engagement to him as she said, “Look, my engagement with Sun Xing has already been canceled!”

Taking the letter from Zhuang Meifeng’s hands, he stared at it for a long time, stunned!

“This... When did his happen? Why didn’t we know about this!”

Annoyed, Zhuang Meifeng stared at her own father as she said, “When else? Can’t you see it written clearly on the letter?”

Zhuang Tiande lowered his head once more as he stared at the date on the letter. Shocked, he exclaimed, “On the night of April 4th, wasn’t that... the night of the Qingming Festival!”

Zhao Bomin and Zhuang Meina were shocked too. The three of them had been through the entire situation that night, but because Ling Yun had wiped their memories completely, they couldn’t remember a single thing.

“Where did this happen?” Lifting his head, Zhuang Tiande asked Zhuang Meifeng, confused.

Zhuang Meifeng intentionally said this for those two experts. “Didn’t you say something huge happened at home? Obviously, it happened inside our house.”

Her parents and sister looked at each other as their gaze revealed shock and confusion. Responding blankly, “Why can’t we remember a single thing about that night then?”

She thought to herself that it was obviously because their memories had been wiped by Ling Yun. Answering casually, she said, “You guys were knocked out right at the start. Obviously, you wouldn’t remember a thing. Let me tell you...”

In front of the two experts, Zhuang Meifeng told them everything that happened just as she had narrated for Sun Tianbiao. Splitting what had happened that night into two parts, she explained about what happened before Niu Fenjiao made the call — which was real — and what happened after, which was entirely false.

Listening to this, Zhuang Tiande and Zhao Bomin were left in a daze. In complete shock, Zhuang Tiande said, “What did you say? On the night of the Qingming Festival, people died in our house? And it was... the Sun Family’s people! H-how could this be!”

Shivering in fear, Zhuang Tiande’s legs were shaking. If this were true, how could their engagement be canceled! Not to mention that if Sun Tianbiao were enraged, he would really destroy the entire Zhuang Family!

Shocked out of her wits, Zhao Bomin’s face turned a ghastly white as her entire body began shaking uncontrollably. In that instant, she was at a loss.

“Mother, you don’t have to worry too much. All those people were martial arts experts. Even if you were conscious at the time, you wouldn’t be able to stop them. This matter happened because of me. Don’t worry, I’ll settle it myself.”

After going through multiple life-and-death situations, Zhuang Meifeng had become a pillar for her entire family. She assured her mother with a soothing voice.

Zhuang Meina was in shock, and she bit her lip while she was deep in thought. She asked Zhuang Meifeng, “Older sis, you said that Ling Yun was your boyfriend? Was he the one who saved you?”

Recalling her own sister’s reaction that night, she sighed in her heart as she nodded her head seriously.

Panicking, Zhuang Meina asked anxiously, “This Ling Yun you’re talking about, who is he? In school, there’s also someone called Ling Yun...”

Zhuang Meifeng clearly understood why her sister was panicking. Hardening her heart, she said, “That’s him. He’s that Ling Yun from Qingshui High — Grade 12, Class 6.”

“What! How can it be him! How can that be!” In an instant, Zhuang Meina jumped up from the sofa and asked this in shock.

From the day Ling Yun started to become well-known and notorious in Qingshui High, Zhuang Meina’s heart had begun to waver. She was ready to break off her relationship with Xie Junyan and chase after Ling Yun instead. However, she didn’t expect her own older sister to be Ling Yun’s girlfriend!

Furthermore, Ling Yun had even rushed to the Zhuang Family to cancel the engagement of her older sister! At the same time, he single-handedly fought off the Sun Family’s experts to do so!

This spoke volumes about the progress of her sister’s relationship with Ling Yun. If they had really become a couple, then Ling Yun was practically her brother-in-law!

Her heart in turmoil, Zhuang Meina couldn’t accept this cruel reality. She was about to burst into tears!

“Why is it impossible? On the day Sun Xing drove his car into me, Ling Yun was the one who saved me. After that, all of you wanted to hand me over to the Sun Family. Without anywhere else to go, he found me, and I’ve been living there ever since.”

With Sun Tianbiao’s power, all this could have been easily confirmed by him. Zhuang Meifeng said all this without hiding the truth.

In reality, Zhuang Meifeng was hiding at Ling Yun’s house and not living there. With just this tiny difference, her words seemed to carry a lot of weight!

In Zhuang Meifeng’s heart, Ling Yun was the only man for her, and nobody could substitute him!

Shocked, Zhuang Meina asked in a shaky voice, “You, the both of you have been living together? When did your relationship start?”

Replying matter-of-factly, she said, “On the night there was a huge thunderstorm, I escaped from a classmate’s house. It happened that night.”

Zhuang Meifeng knew that Zhuang Meina was also in love with Ling Yun. She understood her sister’s personality more than anybody else. She had to completely destroy her sister’s hopes and dreams about Ling Yun; otherwise, she would suffer for the rest of her life.

She didn’t blame her little sister, and it wasn’t Ling Yun’s fault either. It was only because Ling Yun was far too perfect and flawless. With his charm, not many women could stop their attraction to him. Zhuang Meifeng knew this best.

Even so, having Xiao Meimei, Cao Shanshan, and Xue Meining was fine. On the other hand, because Zhuang Meina was her own sister, it was impossible!

“No! You can’t do this! Why? Why do you always have to take everything that I like!”

In complete despair, Zhuang Meina began crying aloud as she stamped her feet and bawled miserably with every ounce of her energy.

She couldn’t take it anymore. Why? Why was it that even though they were sisters by blood, her sister got everything she wanted!

Watching Zhuang Meina fall into complete misery, Zhuang Meifeng felt hurt too. However, she revealed nothing and only replied dryly, “Weren’t you in love with Xie Junyan? And the two of you were already dating back then. Why would you fall in love with Ling Yun?”

“As far as I know, you had a huge fight with Ling Yun’s sibling too, didn’t you?”

Zhuang Meina screeched, “Xie Junyan? Don’t you dare speak that name anymore! What’s so great about him! I haven’t been to class all day, but he didn’t even bother to ask or find out what happened to me. In his heart, the one he really loves is Ling Yun’s sister, Ning Lingyu! Not me!”

“Tch!” Hearing that the one Xie Junyan liked was Ling Yun’s sister, Ning Lingyu, Zhuang Meifeng scoffed.

On that Sunday afternoon, Ling Yun had told Zhuang Meifeng and Xiao Meimei to return to Qingshui Wharf’s Mansion Number Nine to meet their future in-law. Both of them put on their most presentable clothes as they rushed to Ling Yun’s residence excitedly.

When they reached Mansion Number Nine, she met Ning Lingyu, who was practically a fairy. At the time, both of them were completely shocked. Apart from talking about her own flaws, she didn’t have an ounce of jealousy or condescension in her!

Ning Lingyu’s beauty was simply indescribable. She was practically a fairy that had landed from the heavens, accidentally stumbling onto Earth!

After understanding who they were, a flash of darkness shot past Ning Lingyu’s dreamy, large eyes for a moment. Even though it returned to normal instantly, the darkness that they saw in her eyes gave both Zhuang Meifeng and Xiao Meimei a surprise. It felt as if the sun had lost its glow in that moment too!

Xie Junyan wanted such an angel to be his girlfriend? That was simply ridiculous. It was a plain example of an ugly toad hoping to marry a beautiful swan; it was delusional and absurd!

“Meina, you’re already eighteen. You’re not young anymore. In the past, you liked Xie Junyan because he was handsome and had a good family background. After that, because the Sun Family was strong and powerful, you said that you were willing to marry Sun Xing on my behalf. And now, because of Ling Yun’s brilliance, you insist on falling in love with him... Why don’t you tell me if I’m stealing him from you or if you’re fighting against me, your sister?

“When will you change your personality? You need to understand that in this world, not everything will go your way. Even though our family is wealthy, if you compare us to a family like the Sun Family and the others, what use is our wealth?”

While Zhuang Meifeng was saying this to Zhuang Meina, she was also directing those words to her parents. Beyond that, it seemed to be for herself as well.

After she met Ling Yun, Zhuang Meifeng quickly came to realize the power that Ling Yun and Xiao Meimei had. They had opened the door to a new world for her. While she was adjusting to this new knowledge, she was also quickly completing her own adjustments in her heart.

When she was going through dangerous situations, she had no choice but to change the fact that she was nothing but a powerless girl! She had to take her own fate into her own hands. Only by doing that would she be qualified to be Ling Yun’s woman!

In front of true power and strength, what use was money?

“Don’t preach all of your principles and philosophies to me! You’re the one who has everything good, that’s why you can say all these things so flippantly! I don’t care. Anyway, you can’t fight with me for Ling Yun!”

Zhuang Meina was completely blinded by rage and jealousy. She couldn’t care less about a single word her sister said.

Zhuang Meifeng knew that her sister wouldn’t listen to her advice. Shaking her head, she said, “I won’t fight with you for Ling Yun. Even if you like Ling Yun, you need him to like you too, right?”

The two sisters had been arguing non-stop for a single man. Zhuang Tiande couldn’t tolerate it any longer as he said in a deep voice, “Enough, enough. Ling Yun this, Ling Yun that. Now that our family is in such huge trouble, is he the only one you two care about?”

“Meifeng, didn’t you say that Ling Yun killed many of the Sun Family’s men? Then, tell him to get here and explain himself to the Sun Family! Don’t implicate our Zhuang Family with his actions!”

Zhuang Meifeng had already lost all hope for Zhuang Tiande. With a gaze that revealed an ounce of pity, she stared at him as her lips curled into a smile and said, “Ling Yun’s missing now.”

“What!”
