He Lai brainwashed Jiang Mian continuously, like how she was the only woman who had spent the night with Shen Shiyan, and that Shen Shiyan likes her very much. And as long as works harder, she could be his real lover, and becomes Mrs. Shen…

These words were like deceiving a child to leave school, how could she be fooled by this ah.

Disdainful, Jiang Mian inwardly commented that whoever likes the pervert should go and marry him.

After all, she still wants to enjoy her life and appreciate her little brothers’ handsome looks and good-looking abs again ah!

However, she could not go against the plot right now, otherwise, she would experience the cruel punishment!

Jiang Mian showed a very hesitant look, but with He Lai’s repeated persuasion, only then did she firmly nod.

“Okay, I’ll go!”

He Lai breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that her plan was halfway through, and for the remaining half she just needs sit back and wait for Jiang Mian to make a fool of herself tonight!

He Lai was awfully meticulous about tonight’s party and had already prepared the dress that she would be wearing unexpectedly Cheng Yaojin was killed halfway.*

(TN: meaning *- happened what was not expected)

However, that didn’t stop her from her plans.

After all, for her someone like Jiang Mian was like an unsightly nail that she had pulled out in the past, she doesn’t even know how many of them she had already pulled but surely Jiang Mian would also be one of them.

And this time, Jiang Mian’s face was useful to her plan.

Naturally, she couldn’t just wear any casual clothes for a formal dinner party.

So, He Lai first took Jiang Mian to the clubhouse to do a full-body spa, and without stopping for rest, she took her for styling and shopping for high-end clothes.

Speaking of the dress, He Lai dug another hole for Jiang Mian.

She specifically chooses at least a six figures dress from a well-known clothing brand.

The original owner was a student who didn’t have much money and was later tricked by He Lai into borrowing money from an online load to buy the dress.

Jiang Mian, who was styled was getting bored and sleepy when He Lain came in with a dress, “Mian Mian, I think this dress will look good on you, why don’t you try it on!?”

But she was not the original owner, she was a person who values money the most, others could request anything from her except money.

Especially online loans which were bottomless pit, borrowing a large amount of money from unreliable people online just for a dress was like shooting oneself in the head.

However, this said could be true for someone like the original owner whose brain was only made into a sieve to do such stupid thing.

Later, when she was dumped by the hero, with no money and house she still had to repay the debt with high interest she borrowed online every month and end up living on the streets.

If she had known that she was being deceived before she would have killed He Lai and let her bleed to death.

After putting on some makeup Jiang Mian gives people the impression that she looks like another person.

Of course, this was also He Lai’s intention.

Jiang Mian also did not refuse He Lai’s good intentions and also tried on the dress while she stood under the light.

Seeing how she touched the dress carefully with both hands for fear of damaging it seemed to show that this was her first time wearing such a delicate and soft pastel dress.

Meanwhile, when He Lai saw Jiang Mian look like a quick flash of jealousy passed under her eyes.

She specially picked a dress according to Tang Mian’s taste thinking that Jiang Mian would look like a trying hard copycat but didn’t expect that it would look good on her.

“Mian Mian, you look so good in this!”

Jiang Mian smiled pretending to agree and bit her pink cherry lips, “But this dress is too expensive. I don’t have that much money!”

With that, she was about to walk towards the fitting room and take this dress off.

Walking, Jiang Mian was really careful with this dress, after all, she really has no money, and if she accidentally damage the dress, she really couldn’t afford to buy it.

He Lai blocked her steps and tugged her wrist, forbidding her to go further ahead.

“Don’t, it’s such a nice dress, why change it!”

“Don’t you like this dress very much? As the saying goes, you regret buying it for three days and regret not buying it for three years!”

“It’s too expensive, I really can’t afford it!” Jiang Mian said as she gently fondled the dress pretending to be reluctant.

Ho Lai scoffed, of course, she knew she couldn’t afford the dress that’s why she let her try it on!

“Oh, don’t you have credit cards and online loans now, you can just borrow money anytime you want now?!” He Lai said calmly, “Besides when you officially become Mr. Shen’s lover you don’t need to worry about having no money to spend!”

If this was the original owner, she would have been impulsive at this moment and borrowed a lot of money on online platforms without raising any objection.

But the Jiang Mian in front of He Lai now was a rational person, she admits that Shen Shiyan was handsome and attractive but she doesn’t like him so why would she take out an online loan for a man?

Moreover, the hero belongs to the heroine, and even if she goes to great lengths to grab the heroine’s halo how much could she even grab!

So she as the female cannon fodder should stay in her role, thus no matter how much He Lai moved her mouth to convince her to borrow money online, Jiang Mian wasn’t moved.

However, the plot must go on.

Jiang Mian showed how much she liked the dress and was very moved by He Lai’s idea while looking at the dress with yearning, “Lai Lai, this dress is really nice, but I really don’t have money, so forget it!”

Saying that she heaved a sigh and pretended to turn around to go change the dress.

He Lai’s mouth was about to go dry trying to convince her to take a loan, but seeing that she was still not convinced she got angry and almost cursed at her.

He Lai put up and endured it, with a considerate tone she said, “Mian Mian, if you don’t wear this dress, how can you go to the dinner party with Mr. Shen? Mr. Shen will get angry, and will maybe break up with you later!”

When it comes to this, He Lai had no choice but to deliberately said harsh words to make Jiang Mian feel crisis.

And as she expected, Jiang Mian’s complexion changed, and tears quickly accumulated in the corner of her eyes, and her crystal tears swirled threatening to fall out from her beautiful eyes.

The appearance of a beautiful woman crying always makes people feel heartbreaking.

He Lai’s complexion changed again and again for a different reason, thinking about whether she had ever cried like this in front of Shen Shiyan.

Jiang Mian who was immersed in her acting pretended to be strong and said, “Then I won’t go!”

No, how could her plan goes as she wanted if she doesn’t go!

No matter what, she had to solve this trouble as soon as possible.

He Lai was now anxious, and the words came out of her mouth without thinking: “It’s okay, then I’ll buy it for you!”

Jiang Mian sighed and quickly refused: “No, how can I accept that? This dress is expensive!”

She then shook her head like a rattle and looked very firm. No matter what He Lai said, she would not want it.

He Lai’s monthly living expenses were extravagant, so she doesn’t really care about this little amount, “It’s okay, we are good sisters after all so it doesn’t matter if I give this dress to you, just treat it as a gift!”

“But…”

Jiang Mian was still hesitating, but was interrupted by He Lai: “You have so many but, it’s just a dress, and it’s not too expensive!”

“This…” Jiang Mian looked at the dress again. Seeing that Jiang was being indecisive He Lai added, “If you treat me as your good sister, you have to accept this dress!”

Since she had said it like this if she didn’t accept her sister’s goodwill wouldn’t she be sorry for her good sister!

Also, she would just consider this as her compensation for harming her!

After hearing that He Lai already paid for the dress, Jiang Mian continued her acting and showed she was moved to tears and grabbed her hand, “Lai Lai, you are so good to me!”

He Lai smiled and said that it was okay, but in fact, she secretly despised Jiang Mian’s greed even more, thinking she really dared to accept a dress of more than 100,000 yuan.

After He Lai swiped her card, the shop assistant looked envious, “Miss, you are so kind to your sister! And your sister indeed looked so beautiful in that dress!”

If she could meet such a good sister in her lifetime, she would cry to death.

He Lai’s act of swiping her card to buy a dress for Jiang Mian made her the best sister in China.

He Lai gently smiled and turned to look at Jiang Mian who was facing the mirror fitting the dress. Her original intention was to trick Jiang Mian into borrowing money online so why did she swipe her car to pay for her!

Seeing Jiang Mian wearing the dress she bought, looking elegant like a princess, He Lai vomited blood in anger and wishing to break the card in her hand.

How could she be so foolish as to spend more than a hundred thousand yuan to buy the dress for his bitch Jiang Mian.

Meanwhile, Jiang Mian was quite satisfied with her new dress and looked at herself in the mirror, although it wasn’t her style, she still likes it seeing that the pastel-colored dress complemented her fair skin while the shop assistant on the side kept on giving her praises.

Jiang Mian’s mind was already busy calculating as the sound of abacus inside her head echoes, dresses such as this were usually only worn on specific occasions, and after tonight she would be dumped by the hero so why should she keep this expensive dress when she could just directly sell in on a second-hand platform and make a fortune for herself.

With this in mind, Jiang Mian smiles as she took out her phone and handed it to the shop assistant, “Can you take some photos for me, please?”

The shop assistant was naturally happy to assist the beautiful lady in front of her, she often helps many customers take pictures so her photography skills were first-class.

Jiang Mian casually posed for a few dozen of photos with this one dress.

She has a slim body so she looked very thin in the camera, her facial features radiant as her eyes were full of life captivating people.

Jiang Mian looked at her picture with satisfaction, there wasn’t much photoshop that needs to be done as long as she added a little filter.

After they were done, Jiang Mian thank the shop assistant this time also He Lai was walking back towards her.

Jiang Mian invited He Lai to take a picture with her with extra enthusiasm: “Lai Lai, let’s take a picture together!”

He Lai gnashed her teeth as she smiled awkwardly and refused, “I can’t!”

“Why?” Jiang Mian looked at her blankly, with a bit of disappointment.

He Lai’s hands clenched into fists, compared to the well-dress Jiang Mian, He Lai’s business attire was not obviously beautiful enough, not only that, her makeup was sloppy and her was a mess, so taking pictures with the well-dress Jiang Mian would only make her look ugly in comparison.

She doesn’t want to be someone’s background for others, especially Jiang Mian who just a substitute, she was not worthy!

Since He Lai doesn’t want to take pictures, Jiang Mian couldn’t forcer her and could only pretend like she was disappointed.

He Lai had to comfort her in turn, “Let’s take photos together next time!”

Jiang Mian softly said ‘okay’ but dismissed it inwardly thinking that she might not have the chance in the future!

It was a charity auction in the evening and He Lai was supposed to accompany Shen Shiyan.

The winter sun sets very early and before six o’clock, the night outside was completely dark.

The weather tonight was not good as dark clouds cover the moon, and drizzling rain.

A black car pulled up at the door and the man sitting in the back waited with a look of impatience.

It has been half an hour, and Shen Shiyan’s eyes were increasingly gloomy.

On the other side, Jiang Mian knew that Shen Shiyan did not like to wait for people, so she deliberately dawdled for a long time before being urged by He Lai to come down.

Outside the rain, the cold wind blew freezing Jiang Mian causing her to shiver and immediately walk back to the warm hotel.

After only hesitating for a second, Jiang Mian walked out without hesitation.

It was only a little cold, how could it be as important as her life!

Shen Shiyan on the other hand was already furious, and when he saw the woman coming out of the hotel he slightly frowned.

Jiang Mian ran to the car in the rain and knocked on the window.

The man sitting in the car saw Jiang Mian through the tainted glass, and mouthed ‘Mr. Shen’.
