When I was nineteen years old, my memory suddenly awakened.

I live in a book. The male protagonist is the heir my parents cultivated for the family business, and the female protagonist is the daughter of my nanny.

And I am the White Lotus heroine with a high rank in the book.

1.

At University A, at the freshman entrance dance, I followed Pei Yao and was about to dance the opening dance with him, but was interrupted by a girl who rushed over.

"Pei Yao." Her eyes were slightly red. They looked at each other affectionately like the male and female protagonists in the novel. She said, "I'm back."

The eyes of the people around us instantly dropped to our side, whispering gossip. "

"Isn't this Bai Yueguang Bai Xuxu, Pei Yao's childhood sweetheart?"

"Did she leave the capital before? It seems that Pei Yao didn't know..."

"Wow, Shura Field is so exciting!"

Pei Yao paused and walked towards her, but still holding my hand, so I walked over with him.

I was not the only one who noticed this. Bai Xuxu looked at the hands we were holding, her eyes became even redder, a tear rolled in her eyes, and she looked pitiful.

Before she could speak, I interrupted her.

I looked like I was about to cry.

"Brother Pei Yao, am I disturbing your reminiscing about old times? Then I'll go sit alone for a while." I lowered my head and shook Pei Yao's arm gently.

Pei Yao glanced at me and held my hand tighter.

"The person he is holding behind him seems to be the one from the Jiang family, who was picked up just a few years ago." An onlooker with knowledge of the matter said.

Yes, this Miss Jiang is me.

When I was sixteen years old, my parents took me from a remote Jiangnan town back to the Jiang family in the imperial capital.

I suffer from congenital heart disease and was born prematurely, so I have always been in poor health. My father had been promoted steadily in the past few years and had enemies one after another, so he sent me to my mother's hometown, Qingshui Town.

Before I was sixteen, I was brought up by my grandmother. After my grandmother passed away, I was taken back.

At that time, there was a dignified woman standing at the door, a beautiful girl in a pink skirt, and a very delicate boy.

The woman is undoubtedly Jiang’s mother, and the girl is the nanny’s child, Bai Xuxu.

The boy is Pei Yao in his youth, and he is also the heir cultivated by his parents for the family business.

Later I found out that Pei Yao was the grandson of Grandpa Jiang’s comrade-in-arms.

The comrade died trying to save Grandpa Jiang, and Pei's parents also died in a car accident.

So in order to repay the kindness, Grandpa Jiang brought Pei Yao to my home. It happened that I was in poor health, so Father Jiang and Mother Jiang planned to train him as an heir and take over the Jiang family.

I raised a timid smile and called "Mom."

Mother Jiang responded and handed me over to the nanny.

"Jiang Dai, this is brother Pei Yao. Next to her is sister Xu Xu, the child of Aunt Bai, who is the nanny at home."

"Your brothers and sisters are one year older than you, so you have to get along well with them, you know?"

Pei Yao looked at me with a calm expression. I stared at the light red tear mole under his eye for a while.

When I was about to speak out, Bai Xuxu interrupted me. She came up to me and smiled coquettishly: "Pei Yao and I will take good care of you. If you have any questions at Pei's house, you can ask. Me!"

She glanced at Pei Yao with a somewhat annoyed look and said, "Pei Yao doesn't care much about strangers."

There was extraordinary familiarity and intimacy in her tone.

I blinked, walked around her, and took Pei Yao's arm. Bai Xuxu paused in embarrassment. He looked at me a little helplessly.

Pei Yao froze for a moment, but did not pull away his arm and looked down at me.

"Brother," I smiled at him, showing two small dimples. I knew I looked best when I smiled like this.

"You are my brother. Why do you need to ask Miss Bai about the Pei family?"

I looked at Pei Yao ignorantly, and Pei Yao touched my head. I nuzzled his palm obediently.

He seemed stunned, but did not take back his hand.

Jiang's mother noticed something was wrong. She looked at Bai Xuxu lovingly and said, "Of course your brother will take care of you, but Xuxu is also half a daughter of the Pei family."

I sneered in my heart.

Everyone in the Jiang family knows that the nanny's daughter, Bai Xuxu, is more like Miss Jiang than me.

I looked at Bai Xuxu, and she still looked at me with a smile. With Mother Jiang's support, she took on the airs of a master even more.

"I'll call you sister Jiang Dai from now on. Come on, I'll take you to your room."

"Oh." I responded muffledly, but my hand was holding Pei Yao and refused to let go.

In my prediction, Pei Yao should have pushed me away, but for some reason he didn't.

Bai Xuxu obviously noticed it, and his smile froze.

Pei Yao led me upstairs. My room is next to Pei Yao's room.

"This is your room. Follow me to report to school tomorrow." His voice was calm, even indifferent.

I know that Pei Yao's character is like this.

I held Pei Yao's hand. He paused for a moment, as if he wanted to pull away but held back. Then he lowered his head and looked at me with glazed eyes.

I looked at him pretending to be innocent, "Brother, I just came here and I'm a little scared. Brother, call me tomorrow and accompany me to school, okay?"

Pei Yao nodded without thinking much.

"Okay, then I'll call you tomorrow."

He paused, "...Sister."

I smiled, showing a sweet dimple.

"Good night, brother."

2.

With the relationship with the Jiang family, I skipped a level directly and went to the same class as Bai Susu and Pei Yao.

Pei Yao took my hand and walked into the class. Or should I say, his hand was tightly held by me, preventing him from breaking free.

Everybody's eyes fell on us one after another, and they screamed one after another.

"Who is this? Pei Yao's girlfriend?"

"Impossible? Who can defeat Pei Yao with his temperament?"

"The one who got off the Jiang family's car must be the Jiang family's biological child."

"Then why does Bai Susu ride in the Jiang family's car every day... I thought she was Miss Jiang's family..."

Bai Susu was in the same car as us and came to the classroom with us. When she heard these discussions, she calmly brushed her hair around her ears and smiled.

"It's your first time in the Imperial City, sister Daidai. Are you not used to it? There are still many differences between the schools in the Imperial Capital and those in Qingshui Town. I'll take you around later."

Everyone suddenly realized it, and the voices of discussion became louder.

"It turns out he's a country bumpkin, probably some distant relative who hugged me."

"This is the most annoying thing. Our family always has these distant relatives who are related to each other. They are very scheming."

I pretended not to hear and ignored her.

Then he timidly hid behind Pei Yao, held his hand and shook it slightly: "Brother..."

Pei Yao said quietly, "My sister, Miss Jiang, was not in good health before and was recuperating outside."

After hearing what Pei Yao said, everyone looked at the hands that he and I were holding tightly, and they all fell silent. Only one or two people were left muttering in a low voice.

"Holy crap, it's really that person from the Jiang family."

"I thought Bai Susu was a young lady from the Jiang family...she is from the Jiang family every day. I thought she took her mother's surname."

Bai Susu's expression darkened and she walked away awkwardly. He stared at me, then returned to his seat silently.

Pei Yao also led me back to my seat, and I sat next to him. I dozed off in the first class and fell asleep on the table.

I was in poor health. The Jiang family was afraid that my heart disease would relapse from time to time, and they had no intention of training me to be an elite, so they simply sent me to rest. I said I wanted to learn painting, so they let me learn to paint. Let Pei Yao inherit the family business and take care of me in the future.

Ever since, my grades were average, and after I skipped a level, my grades became even more average.

Take a nap as a matter of course.

When I was woken up by the sound of get out of class ending, I found that I was sleeping on Pei Yao's shoulder. So she looked up at him in confusion.

He was writing the title, leaving me with only a clear jawline and a very delicate profile.

"It's uncomfortable to fall asleep on the table." He kept his posture while writing the question, thinking he noticed my gaze, so he explained.

"Oh." I didn't think much, I took his left arm that was not used for writing questions, then leaned on his shoulder and fell asleep.

I smelled the rosin on Pei Yao's body and fell asleep.

So I didn’t see anyone’s strange looks.

As the heir to the Jiang family, Pei Yao stands out both in terms of grades and appearance. He is well-mannered socially and can handle any situation with ease. He is very famous among his peers in the upper class circles.

It’s just that I’m too cold, I have few close friends, and I’ve never had a girlfriend.

He is also famous for not liking physical contact with others.

I held his hand and let it go. Now everyone was so surprised to see me sleeping on his shoulder for two classes.

But in the next few months, everyone became accustomed to it.

Because I not only rely on him to sleep in class. Hold your hand with him every step of the way when walking, or hold his arm, and throw yourself into his arms if you disagree with him.

Later, everyone knew that the eldest daughter of the Jiang family, Jiang Dai, was very good at acting like a spoiled child.

But only for Pei Yao.

When there is less food left, I finish some homework, or even I don't sleep in a certain class, everyone will see me looking at Pei Yao with eyes as big as grapes, saying coquettishly, "Brother, I am awesome!" and then putting my head on his hand. rub.

Pei Yao had no choice but to rub my head helplessly.

As time went by, he always liked to touch my head or pinch my face without me hinting.

Ever since, everyone knew that the Jiang family had Qian Jingang back in the imperial capital, and she was the sister that Pei Yao held in the palm of his hand.

In fact, only I know that Pei Yao has a cold personality, but he was so kind to me in the beginning because of guilt.

He took my place and enjoyed so many resources of the Jiang family and the affection of Jiang’s parents. He loves me as much as he feels sorry for me.

Jiang's father and Jiang's mother didn't do any superficial work or give any face, so I borrowed Pei Yao's hand and blended into this circle perfectly.

I also went to University A with Pei Yao as an art student.

Because Bai Xuxu didn't have enough marks, she finally went to University A through the help of the Jiang family, and went back to her hometown with Bai's mother to go through some procedures.

This is what Pei Yao begged for her.

3.

My eyes returned to the present, Pei Yao was holding my hand, and Bai Xuxu looked at us sadly.

"Pei Yao, since you danced with sister Jiang Dai at the beginning, you can't refuse me anymore for the second-hand bomb."

Bai Xuxu asked with a smile, but looked at Pei Yao with red eyes.

Her appearance was innocent, her words were measured, and she had a strong expression on her face, which immediately aroused everyone's sympathy.

Pei Yao thought for a moment, and when he saw Bai Xuxu looking at him pleadingly, he nodded: "Okay."

I withdrew my hand from Pei Yao's hand.

"Go, brother." I said with a smile.

Pei Yao and Bai Xuxu sat side by side in front of the piano. They played Chopin in perfect harmony. With the stage lights down, they looked like a pair made in heaven.

I heard the sounds of people taking pictures around me, as well as all kinds of intermittent whispers such as "It's a perfect match" and "Ahhhhhh it kills me."

I stared at the two people on the stage without saying a word.

Because I had been studying in Qingshui Town before the age of sixteen, I had never touched the piano, but Bai Xuxu was able to take lessons with Pei Yao. The tacit understanding between the two of them since childhood was naturally unmatched by others.

Suddenly there was a sharp pain in my head, and I suddenly fell down amid the screams of people around me.

In a daze, I saw Pei Yao running down from the stage in a panic and hugging me.

"Dede!" This was the last word I heard before losing consciousness.

A wave of memories flooded into my head. It turned out that I was living in a romance novel.

The male protagonist is Pei Yao and the female protagonist is Bai Xuxu. It mainly tells the story of their childhood sweethearts reuniting after breaking up.

And I am the villain Bai Lianhua in the novel. I frequently interfere with the male and female protagonists, causing them to misunderstand each other. In the end, everyone saw through my true face. Father Jiang and Mother Jiang were also disappointed in me and said they did not recognize this daughter. .

I was penniless, and Pei Yao gave me a sum of money to live alone. However, I was influenced by the rumors and died of a heart attack.

The male and female protagonists are happily together.

But I only have a general memory of the plot, not details.

After I sorted out this memory, I opened my eyes again and faced the ceiling of the hospital.

I raised my hand with some difficulty and tried to get up, only to find that Pei Yao was asleep beside the hospital bed. There was a faint green color under his eyes and he looked a little tired.

I unconsciously reached out and touched his eyelashes, and then it fell on the bridge of his nose.

At this moment, Pei Yao opened his eyes, looked at me, and then grabbed my moving hand.

"Dede." His voice was a little hoarse. "You were unconscious for a day and a night. The doctor said that your heart may have been stimulated and you need to rest for a few days."

I said "hmm" and suddenly saw a figure at the door, so I put my arms around Pei Yao's waist and buried my head in his chest.

The voice was very aggrieved: "Brother, I don't want to be in the hospital, please take me back."

Pei Yao subconsciously hugged me, gently rubbed my long hair, and agreed.

The figure at the door froze, turned and ran away.

That is the heroine Bai Xuxu.

Pei Yao called the Jiang family’s driver to pick us up. He fell asleep in the car because he was too tired.

I was bored and typing on the school forum. Now it was all talking about Pei Yao rushing off the stage to hug me. There were even photos of me falling in Pei Yao's arms.

In the novel, I didn’t interrupt the couple’s second-hand couplet between the male and female protagonists. They caused a sensation on campus and became a legend in A University.

And now——

"Ah ah ah, is this sister Pei Yao? They have such a good relationship. Pei Yao looks extremely nervous."

"It's not a kiss...but everyone basically knows about it."

"I was at the scene! My sister is Jiang Dai, she is super beautiful. She fainted and almost scared Pei Yao to death. I have never seen him like that."

As for Bai Xuxu and Pei Yao's performances, no one cares about them anymore.

I enlarged the photo and looked at it, and saved it with satisfaction.

As for the White Lotus... I am indeed, but all I want is my share of the Jiang family's fortune and a healthy life.

I have no interest in relationships, nor do I have any hope of family affection for the Jiang family. As for Pei Yao, I can't tell myself, maybe most of it is for use.

I looked at Pei Yao, who was sleeping next to me, sighed, and gently leaned his head on my shoulder.

Then I turned my head and looked at the scenery outside the window, no longer looking at him.

4.

Bai Xuxu returned to Jiang's house, and she could be seen busy at Jiang's house every day, making sweets and snacks for Jiang's mother, or instructing the servants to arrange the flowers and plants in the backyard.

Now she was in the living room again, making Mother Jiang laugh. Pei Yao sat next to him and made tea for Mother Jiang. The picture is really beautiful.

This is what I saw when I came home on the weekend.

Seeing me coming in, their laughter and laughter suddenly stopped. A few seconds later, Jiang's mother nodded lightly: "Dedei is back." Then she continued to hold Bai Xuxu's hand and joke.

I clenched my palms.

I have been in the Jiang family for three years, and I have tried to get close to my parents. Perhaps I have been alienated for too long, but Father Jiang and Mother Jiang are more like attentive guests to me.

In contrast, Bai Xuxu, who has been living in the Jiang family, is more liked by Jiang's mother. Her treatment is the same as mine, or even better.

Jiang's mother also said that she wanted to adopt Bai Xuxu as her adopted daughter. At that time, Bai Xuxu glanced at Pei Yao shyly and declined coquettishly with Jiang's mother.

I smiled and said hello. I didn't know what my mood was, but I deliberately didn't look at Pei Yao.

I went upstairs alone and stared blankly at the bear on the table.

It was my first birthday when I first came to the Jiang family. Pei Yao called Jiang’s father and mother to the mall for dinner and bought it in the mall.

At that time, they planned to take me to a high-end luxury store to get customized clothes, but I shook my head, pointed at the little bear in the window and said, "That's it."

Pei Yao gave me a good birthday on his subsequent birthdays, but Father Jiang and Mother Jiang were never present again. Gifts are nothing more than sets of luxury items.

I thought of that awakening memory and the disgusted look in my eyes by Father and Mother Jiang at the end of the novel. I took a deep breath and threw the little bear in the cabinet.

I looked at myself in the mirror. After three years of money, I looked like a beautiful daughter of a rich family.

I twitched the corner of my mouth, and the person in the mirror also showed a sweet smile and faint dimples on his cheeks.

"It's just a plot..." I murmured softly.

There was a knock on the door suddenly. I adjusted myself and opened the door. Pei Yao's face was revealed outside the door.

He was very tall, and his faint shadow cast down, almost completely covering me.

Pei Yao touched my head, and I subconsciously rubbed his palm, putting on a lively and cheerful smile, "Brother!"

"What's the matter? You miss me after not seeing your brother for two days?"

Pei Yao looked at me steadily, with some emotions in his eyes that I couldn't understand. After a long time, he sighed slightly and pinched my cheeks with both hands.

"Idiot," he said.

"What...ouch!" He pinched my face and I couldn't speak clearly.

"Let's go, I'll take you to eat something delicious."

We went to a new French restaurant. Pei Yao allowed me to drink a little red wine for the first time.

Obviously, I have never drank, and I have no idea how much I drink.

Pei Yao only let me drink two small glasses, but I was still a little drunk.

"This is delicious, brother!" I held my face in my hands and looked at him. I felt my face was hot. I poked the foie gras on the plate with my fork and muttered, "I never had these before when I was a kid."

He looked at me and touched my face gently and naturally.

"I will often take you to eat from now on." He said, "You can eat whatever you want."

I just smiled, said nothing, and rubbed his palm with my warm cheek.

What if what I want is family property? Will you agree too? Pei Yao?

I took him for a walk on the overpass.

After walking for a while, I felt that I was getting drunk, so I jumped on Pei Yao's back and asked him to carry him on his back.

I was drunk on alcohol and started talking nonsense on his back.

"Brother! The leading actor! I also want to be the leading actor. Woohoo."

"You can also be a heroine. I'm obviously more of a noob, so why can't I be a heroine!"

"I have a little bear, my brother bought it for me. But it seems that I don't have a brother, and I don't have parents. I only have my grandma... But then she disappeared."

Pei Yao had been listening quietly, carrying me on the overpass. It was very late at night, and there were only a few occasional pedestrians on the road.

It wasn't until I finished the last sentence that he stopped and interrupted me.

"I have an older brother."

He tilted his head slightly, his side face as cold as the bright moon.

I just lay on his shoulder, the tips of my noses were very, very close. I looked at him blankly.

I was silent for a long time, so he walked slowly for a long time with me on his back. The evening breeze blew the hair from my shoulders, and some of it wrapped around his neck.

I murmured: "Pei Yao, if there is a next life..."

This is the first time I didn’t call him brother, but his full name.

He paused, waiting for my next words.

However, when I turned around, I realized that I had fallen asleep on his shoulder.

5.

I woke up the next day and found that I was fragmented. I pretended to be calm and asked Pei Yao if I had done anything. He just shook his head and said that I was very good.

So I breathed a sigh of relief and started to prepare. The next important plot was coming soon.

That is——Mother Jiang’s birthday party.

The day before the birthday party, Jiang’s mother took Bai Xuxu and me to pick out dresses.

Rows of big-name evening gowns were delivered to the Jiang family villa.

There are two pieces in this season’s haute couture series, one black and one white, each piece is valuable.

Finally, I stopped in front of the short black evening gown with a tube top, ready to try it on.

But suddenly he was stopped by a hand.

Bai Xuxu bit her lip, "Sister Dede, can you give me this piece?"

I squinted my eyes and smiled, "No way!"

Bai Xuxu's eyes turned red for a moment, and she was choked when she spoke: "Dedai, although I don't know why you don't like me, but I usually tolerate you in everything, can you give me this dress this time?"

She turned around and looked at Mother Jiang beside her, and said firmly: "This is Aunt Jiang's birthday. Aunt Jiang takes care of me so much. It's really important to me!"

I looked at her in embarrassment and shook my head: "It's really not possible."

She sobbed, "You have so many clothes to choose from, why do you have to fight for this one from me?"

Jiang's mother was very moved when she heard this. She put her arms around Bai Xuxu's shoulders and stroked her back that was shaking from crying.

Then he looked at me disapprovingly: "The Jiang family has taught you for three years, but you still can't change your ways as a common man? It's just a skirt, why do you have to compete with Xu Xu?"

I seemed to be stimulated by these words. I turned to look at Bai Xuxu, suppressing the tremor in my voice.

"You tolerate me everywhere? When have I ever felt sorry for you? Isn't the Jiang family my family? I am the legal heir of the Jiang family. How many benefits have you taken from the Jiang family over the years?"

I pointed at the evening dress, my eyes couldn't help but turn red.

"A pair of high-definition clothes costs millions, what can you buy as a nanny's daughter? What kind of food and clothing do you usually choose that I don't have? Is your mother's salary of less than 10,000 yuan enough for you to wear this dress? I'm standing here What kind of archway is it?”

Bai Xuxu took a few steps back when I said that, her tears couldn't stop flowing, and she kept shaking her head.

"No... I just treat Aunt Jiang as my biological mother... I didn't know these things were so expensive... If you mind, I'll just give them all back to you..."

"Okay, then you'd better not take a penny from the Jiang family, and don't accept anything expensive." I sneered.

Bai Xuxu shed tears, bit her lip, and nodded stubbornly.

Mother Jiang also looked at me in surprise, barely concealing her anger.

"We are not good enough to you! You actually have these thoughts in your heart. I treat Xu Xu as my own daughter. What will happen if I give these things to her? Can you learn from Xu Xu's tolerance and kindness?"

"Yes." I looked at her sadly, "You treat Bai Xuxu as your biological daughter and Pei Yao as your biological son."

"Only I, an outsider, stand in the way of your beautiful life."

Jiang's mother was stung by my gaze. Her eyes suddenly became clearer and she hurriedly said, "No, Dede... Mom didn't mean that..."

I closed my eyes, ignored Mother Jiang, and turned around and went upstairs with the white dress.

As soon as the door closed, the sad and painful expression on my face disappeared.

I curled my lips. In the original article, I chose this long white dress, and Bai Xuxu also wanted it. Because of Jiang’s mother’s bias, the dress was given to her in the end.

But now, I took the initiative to choose a black skirt, but Bai Xuxu still came to fight for it.

I successfully sold it and got the dress I like.

More importantly, since Bai Xuxu promised not to accept anything, she will not be able to attend tomorrow's banquet.

In the original text, plots such as her being drugged and Pei Yao's emotional leap could no longer happen.

It seems that Bai Xuxu doesn't like that skirt that much, she just wants to snatch it from me, and then uses an excuse to say those "heartfelt words" to Jiang's mother.

As expected, Pei Yao rushed back to Jiang's house within an hour.

I listened carefully to the footsteps. He seemed to ignore Bai Xuxu who was still sitting in the living room and went straight upstairs.

Then, there was a knock on my door.

I pinched my thigh, forcing out a few tears that were about to fall, and I looked so pitiful.

What I saw when I opened the door was Pei Yao's delicate and handsome face, as well as many of my favorite desserts in his hands.

"Brother woo woo woo."

I called him pretending to be choked. Then he hugged Pei Yao directly.

Pei Yao skillfully supported me with his non-carrying hand and carried me into the room easily.

I pretended to be sad and buried my head in his collarbone, but my heart was bubbling with joy.

I smelled his refreshing fragrance and felt the indescribable haze in my heart suddenly dissipate.

"Be good, Dede." He comforted me gently, "Whatever dress you like, my brother will buy it for you."

This scene is very familiar. In the past three years, every time Bai Xuxu and I competed for something, it always ended with Jiang’s mother and the Jiang family’s servants being biased towards her.

And before long, Pei Yao will rush home with the things I like. Sometimes it's my favorite desserts, sometimes it's exquisite and beautiful clothes and jewelry.

Then I will get a hug from my brother.

Therefore, those biases and injustices that should have caused me pain and embarrassment became irrelevant, even mixed with a hint of sweetness.

I can feel that everyone cares more about Bai Xuxu, except Pei Yao.

He cares about me more.

But why did you ask for admission opportunities for her? Why did you go play the piano with her when you saw her begging you?

Why? elder brother.

I was in Pei Yao's arms, perhaps because I was afraid of the answers, so I never asked these questions.

Finally, I indulged in his hug and comfort and fell asleep.

A good night's sleep.

6.

A grand dinner, a feast of wine and wine.

I stood next to Mother Jiang, showing a sweet and hypocritical smile, and kept socializing with others.

Perhaps out of guilt, Mother Jiang was sober because of what I said yesterday. Today, I stood next to Mother Jiang instead of Bai Xuxu in the original article.

Oh no, this is my position.

As for Bai Xuxu, after what I said yesterday, she naturally wanted to maintain her image of not being interested in the Jiang family's wealth, so she stubbornly refused the dress and the qualification to enter the banquet.

But maybe she didn’t expect that no one would invite her repeatedly, so she looked very ugly when she saw us off to the banquet this morning.

It seemed that because of what happened yesterday, Mother Jiang still felt a little guilty, so she held my hand and introduced me with a gentle expression on the information about everyone present and the intricate relationships between companies.

I pretended to listen carefully, but I am familiar with these interpersonal relationships in the upper circles of the imperial capital. I have been with Pei Yao for the past three years.

I stood next to Mother Jiang, wearing a high-end white dress. I brought this dress to its extreme, sweet, pure, and a little cold, like a bright moon on the horizon.

Unconsciously, more and more people’s eyes on the court were focused on me.

At this time, I was holding a glass of mixed wine brought by the waiter and socializing with a project leader of the Jiang family who was preparing to bid.

Stocks, funds, and even Jiang’s cooperation projects they were learning about, I answered them all without missing a beat.

Mother Jiang’s eyes became more and more surprised, and even Father Jiang looked over at us frequently.

I looked at the sherry flowing like glass in the glass and drank it slowly.

The things I showed today have been prepared since the first day I returned to the Jiang family.

From the beginning, I knew exactly what I wanted.

After entertaining the important guests, I breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly felt a little dizzy. Mother Jiang helped me and asked me to take a rest upstairs in the hotel.

I responded.

In fact, when Bai Xuxu was away, Mother Jiang was quite considerate to me. She was very suitable for a strange but busy mother, and she would try her best to care about me.

However, as long as Bai Xuxu is present, Jiang's mother will suddenly become mean and partial, regardless of right and wrong.

I can only attribute this to the relationship between Jiang Mu and Bai Xuxu that they have been together for more than ten years. As time went by, I no longer had any extravagant expectations of family affection for the Jiang family.

At this point, I’m not quite sure yet. Since it’s a novel, there must be a “protagonist halo.”

I asked the waiter to get the room card and went upstairs.

While lying on the bed to rest, I felt that my head was getting more and more dizzy, and my face began to flush unnaturally.

I secretly thought something was wrong.

It’s over.

My expression changed suddenly, and I suddenly remembered the plot in the original text.

In the novel, Bai Xuxu will be secretly drugged by a vicious female n-number who loves Pei Yao today, and even finds a shady man to send him to a hotel room.

However, the heroine accidentally entered Pei Yao's room, and their relationship quickly heated up.

Now that Bai Xuxu did not attend the banquet, I took it for granted and ignored this part of the plot.

But I didn’t expect that the plot of being drugged would be transferred to me. Moreover, without the halo of the heroine, I did not walk to Pei Yao's room.

I thought of the glass of sherry and the waiter who gave me the room card, gritting my teeth and secretly hating myself for being careless.

My body became weaker and weaker, and my cheeks became hot. I wanted to get up and walk out of the room, but I couldn't move. Even if you want to make a call with your mobile phone, you can't do it.

A sense of despair slowly welled up in my heart, and I bit my lip to keep myself awake until the taste of blood filled my mouth.

I used my last strength to tap the screen of my phone three times, triggering the function of automatically sending messages to emergency contacts.

Pei Yao...please.

There were footsteps getting closer and closer, and my heart grew colder.

A strange man swiped the room card and came in.

I tried to calm myself down and opened my eyes to remember this person's appearance, as well as all the details of being drugged, and how to collect evidence for revenge later.

The strange man slapped me hard, and I could feel my face immediately getting red and swollen.

Fear and pain overwhelmed me, and before I knew it, my face was covered with tears. I wanted to resist but couldn't move.

When the strange man started to tear the dress off my shoulders, I heard the door being violently kicked open.

Pei Yao hit the strange man with almost murderous strength.

He has been practicing Sanda since he was a child. The man was beaten so hard that he had no strength to fight back and begged for mercy, but Pei Yao didn't stop yet.

His eyes were red, and it was the first time I saw such a terrifying look on his face.

The haze just now still enveloped me, and I could barely feel a sense of joy about surviving the disaster.

"Brother..." I called him weakly, and Pei Yao stopped and carefully stood up and picked me up. Only then did I see that there were even blood stains on the back of his hands.

"Dedei, brother is here, it's okay, don't be afraid." Pei Yao picked me up with a serious expression, "Brother will take you to the hospital right away."

I finally couldn't bear it anymore and passed out in his arms.

I know the plot of the original text, and I also know who drugged me...
