Chapter 1
Late at night, the Xiang family's mansion was brightly lit.
Hot, so hot.
Xiang Wan left the banquet hall, feeling dizzy and not knowing the way around, and stumbled into the guest room on the other side.
She has always had a good drinker. I don't know what happened today. She just had a drink and why...
At the last moment when she fainted, she heard a deep male voice in her ear saying: "Don't be afraid, I'm here..."
She used her last bit of strength to open her eyes, and saw vaguely that the man pressing towards her had a snake-like tattoo on his waist.
Xiang Wan couldn't remember what happened after that. She lost consciousness, like a drowning fish, frantically trying to get oxygen.
At this moment, the banquet hall was still lively.
Today's dinner party is all attended by prominent figures in Longcheng's upper class, all of whom are beautifully dressed and well-groomed.
The smell of money and wealth filled the room.
…
Early the next morning, Xiang Wan was awakened by the dazzling sunlight outside the window.
The housekeeper came in with a look of surprise on his face: "Miss, you finally woke up, you scared me to death. Drink this bowl of sobering tea quickly, you will feel better."
She had a splitting headache. She raised her hand and pressed her temples, trying to sit up from the bed. When she moved, she felt the pain all over her body, as if she was about to fall apart.
She vaguely remembered what happened last night, and suddenly panicked. She quickly looked at her clothes, raised her head and asked the housekeeper in horror: "How did I get back last night?"
The housekeeper scratched his head and looked away, "The eldest lady was brought back from the guest room by us at dawn this morning."
"Then the evening dress I'm wearing..."
"When we found the eldest lady in the guest room, the clothes you were wearing were no longer wearable. I changed into the pajamas you are wearing now."
Xiang Wan took a breath. She knew what happened. Although the memory was completely gone, her physical condition was obvious... She went to bed last night...
Trying my best to recall, I can only remember the snake tattoo.
She got up and got out of bed, ready to go outside to take a look, but was pulled back by the housekeeper. "Miss...you'd better have a good rest here and don't go out..."
The housekeeper hesitated, but Xiang Wan knew something was wrong and said sternly: "Are you hiding something from me?"
The housekeeper lowered his head, not daring to lie. After hesitating for a moment, he said directly, "Last night, my wife took the second young lady to the study and had a quarrel with the old man. The old man... suffered a heart attack... and passed away..."
Xiang Wan felt dizzy and fell onto the bed, trembling all over.
Seeing this, the housekeeper quickly opened the bedside drawer, took out the medicine bottle inside, poured a few pills and handed them to Xiang Wan, "Miss, don't be too excited about your illness. Take the medicine first."
Xiang Wan is very aware of her situation. Bipolar disorder is not a fatal disease, but it makes her suffer from insomnia, anxiety, auditory hallucinations and death all night long.
The next day, at the funeral of the old man Xiangdong.
Outside the mourning hall, the lawyer read the will.
"Forty-five percent of the shares of the Xiang Group in the hands of the old man Xiangdong have been transferred to the name of the eldest lady Xiang Wan. After the eldest lady gets married and starts a family, he can inherit and take charge of the Xiang Group, and the rest of the Xiang family's properties and deposits will be
The master Xiang Chengguang, the eldest lady Xiang Wan, and the second lady Xiang Linlin will share it equally."
Upon hearing this will, Xiang Wan's stepmother Bai Zhu frantically snatched it from the lawyer's hand, "How is it possible? How could an old man give all his shares to Xiang Wan? How could he do this?"
The lawyer rolled his eyes at her calmly, "This will was made by the old man himself. It has his signature and a third-party notary. The will is legally binding and cannot be questioned."
Xiang Chengguang was shocked and said in an angry tone: "He must be old and confused. Xiang Wan's illness can't inherit the Xiang Group. She will ruin the company if she is emotionally unstable!"
Bai Zhu rushed up to talk, "That's right, this bitch is already engaged to Xue Hao and sleeping with another man. How can Xue Hao still want her? Once the engagement is broken off, she will not be able to inherit the company. This is the case for all previous shareholders."
The consensus reached, they cannot keep their word!"
Xiang Wan's heart felt like needles pricking her heart. Ever since her mother passed away, her father Xiang Chengguang married his mistress Bai Zhu, and then brought his illegitimate daughter Xiang Linlin home, she has become the public enemy of the three of them. Fortunately, he still has his grandfather.
He protected and hurt her, and did not let her suffer too much.
Now that her grandfather has passed away, she is really lonely and helpless.
Many colleagues in the industry and various business partners came to attend the funeral today, and people came and went.
There were several people watching the fun nearby and whispering.
"Did you hear that something happened to the eldest daughter of the Xiang family a few days ago... It seems that she was caught in bed by her fiancé and she is about to break off the engagement."
"Ah? Is she so immodest? She's almost getting married and she's still playing outside."
"No, the Xiang family has been really troubled lately. No wonder it makes Mr. Xiang so angry!"
"Tsk, tsk, I have such a naughty granddaughter, I must be so angry!"
Every sentence pierced into Xiang Wan's heart like a sharp needle.
"You still have the nerve to stay here and let others point out the Xiang family. Are you happy?" Xiang Linlin walked up to Xiang Wan and pushed her.
"I don't want to argue with you." Xiang Wan tried to control his emotions.
"Do you think we are willing to quarrel with a broken shoe?" Bai Zhu also came, grabbing Xiang Wan's arm and raising it, "We just want everyone to see clearly that this woman is the culprit who killed Xiang Dong.
The culprit is a bitch who is engaged and sleeps with a wild man!"
Bai Zhu's voice was loud, and everyone's eyes turned to him when he shouted like this.
Xiang Wan's fiancé Xue Hao was also there. How could he bear such humiliation? He was from a well-known family after all. It was enough to embarrass himself, not the family.
He walked to Xiang Wan with a serious expression, "It's better to say some things clearly as soon as possible. Since this happened to you, we..."
"Don't pretend to be too noble," Xiang Wan interrupted with a sneer and raised his voice, "It doesn't seem like it's an honorable thing to hook up with your fiancée's sister, right? All those bad things you did.
, don’t think I don’t know, do you want us to sit down and explain it piece by piece?”
Xue Hao and Xiang Linlin were startled at the same time, their eyes averted and they did not dare to speak.
Xiang Wan took a few steps toward the middle and said, "Now that we've talked about it, let's make it clear today, Xue Hao, you cheated on me first, let's break off the engagement."
Before Xue Hao could speak, Xiang Linlin snorted coldly, "Don't think you are still some noble young lady. It's impossible for any man to want you like you are now."
At this moment, Xiang Wan was very calm, "If there is a man who wants me to have nothing to do with you, I won't be afraid to tell everyone that I am ready to get married, and he-"
