Chapter 92 – A somewhat sour sensation (1)
Ye Zhen was also flabbergasted by Ye Qing’s crazed appearance.
Pretending to be pitiful, saying sharp words, ripping up a wedding dress in outrage, and finally falling apart after coming to a dead end. Wasn’t this supposed to be the path of a villainess supporting female character?
Ye Qing was the female lead. Why had her image fallen to this point?
In the novel, Ye Qing was clever, capable, and magnanimous. She had demonstrated her extraordinary skills at a party and caught Lu Beichuan’s attention. He had fallen in love with her at first sight. It was because of Ye Qing that he had gone against Lin Zhan, which in turn led to his family’s business going bankrupt and his family’s ruin.
It would be a cold day in hell if Lu Beichuan could still fall in love with Ye Qing after witnessing her resentful and crazed state.
What Ye Zhen didn’t know was that Ye Qing and Lin Zhan had mutually tormented each other for over 20 years in Ye Qing’s past life.
Although the two of them had set up a household as an ordinary couple, Ye Qing was used to living a lavish lifestyle because of her parents. Living a commoner’s lifestyle for a few days was a novel experience for her, but as each day passed by, there was no way she could get used to this working-class life.
Lin Zhan needed money in the initial period of his entrepreneurship, so he couldn’t afford to buy the high-end skin care products and expensive brand-name clothing and bags that Ye Qing wanted. What was even worse for Ye Qing was that her maiden family had gone bankrupt and couldn’t afford to subsidize her anymore.
Even now, Ye Qing was haunted by those days of waking up and worrying if they would be able to pay this month’s rent and utilities and afford the daily necessities.
Still, those days hadn’t been intolerable either. She had a husband that worked hard to improve their life. Although their home was small, they owed it. She stumbled and jostled through those cosy days.
But then, one day, she saw Ye Zhen sitting in the backseat of a Bentley. Ye Zhen looked as if she hadn’t aged past 18.
Her skin looked as white and tender as a freshly peeled hard boiled egg. She didn’t look as if she could be the mother of a five-year-old.
At that moment, Ye Qing felt as if she was looking at her younger self. Falling into a trance, she thought she should be the one sitting in the Bentley. How did she get switched with Ye Zhen?
This thought tormented her day and night. Whether she opened her eyes or kept them closed, she only saw the image of that joyous and harmonious family.
During those occasional times that she put on makeup, she would see wrinkles at the corners of her eyes. And then, the image of Ye Zhen’s clear and bright smiling eyes would suddenly appear. Ye Zhen looked as if she was in the prime of her youth.
And, all of this had only happened because she had surrendered her spot to Ye Zhen!
Day and night, this boundless remorse heavily weighted down on her heart. It was like a nightmare that surrounded her and wouldn’t allow her any respite.
Her temper gradually became abnormally irritable. When she compared Lin Zhan to Lu Beichuan, Lin Zhan’s failures was magnified to countless degree.
In the same way, her jealousy grew without limits. It constantly twisted her heart until she grew to loathe herself.
She had originally thought she and Lin Zhan would spend the rest of their lives mutually tormenting each other, but then she was given another chance.
She was given a chance to take back what she had once lost.
Racking her brains, she wasn’t willing to take another step down her past life. She didn’t dare to take the wrong step either. Success had been in sight, but in the moment before the sun rose, she had plunged back into darkness forever.
Ye Qing had ripped off pieces of the wedding dress starting from the thigh area and tossed these strips of the dress to the side. The once beautiful wedding dress had become worthless trash.
Father Ye had never seen this resentful and crazed look on Ye Qing before.
While his heart was beating madly, he pulled his older daughter to the side. He didn’t want Lu Beichuan to see Ye Qing’s expression.
“Have you gone mad?!” Father Ye lowered his voice and sharply said, “Are you trying to ruin our family?”
Right now, the Ye family’s business was dependent on the Lu family’s financial support. It would collapse at the first blow without their assistance. If the Lu family ever decided to remove their capital, the Ye family’s business would come to a dead end.
