Yi Jing froze, her heartbeat suddenly accelerating without reason.
She felt that the woman looked familiar, as if she had seen her not long ago…but she couldn’t remember when.
…Who is that? Why does the figure look so familiar?
With a soft “click,” the woman standing by the window moved. Her slender, fair fingers held a long match and matchbox, lightly striking the match against the box.
A flickering flame lit up between the woman’s fingers, the firelight overpowering the dim light of dusk, and she brought it close to light the cigarette she held between her lips.
Perhaps the wind outside the church was a little strong, the woman slightly turned her face as she lit the cigarette.
Yi Jing inadvertently saw her face and widened her eyes.
This is…Yu Miao?!
The orange flame spread from one end of the match to the tip of the cigarette, and a faint white smoke gently wafted out.
The woman lightly exhaled a puff of smoke, gazing absentmindedly at the scenery outside the church, listlessly waving her hand. The quick gust of air extinguished the nearly burnt-out match, the firelight abruptly disappearing.
A wisp of faint smoke dispersed.
It was just a natural movement, Yi Jing didn’t know what was special about it, but she inexplicably felt her heart racing.
Oh no, oh no, oh no…Is…is that Yu Miao?
Did they just meet?
No, no, that’s not right.
She hadn’t met Yu Miao before, she had only dreamed because of the description in the po文, how could she conclude that the person in the dream was Yu Miao?
…But the person in the dream actually appeared in front of her…
Yi Jing’s heart was in turmoil, she couldn’t help but stare at Yu Miao, lost in thought.
Perhaps her gaze was too intense, Yu Miao, who had been quietly looking out the window, sensed her gaze and turned around, giving her a glance.
Yi Jing’s breath hitched, completely stunned.
It’s exactly the same as in the dream…no, or rather, even more eye-catching than in the dream…it was a truly beautiful and attractive face, with a high nose bridge, beautiful lips but pale lip color, thick eyebrows and eyes, and slightly upturned eyes that looked captivating. Just one glance was enough to captivate the heart.
Yi Jing unconsciously stared at her…
Yu Miao, lost in thought by the window, was startled by her gaze, coldly puffing her cigarette and turning to look at Yi Jing, who was standing on a higher level wearing a black uniform. Hmm…a very young girl…
Ah, she’s a police officer.
Heh.
Young and in high position…is she a politician?
Yu Miao slightly raised her eyes, taking in Yi Jing’s youthful, innocent, and arrogant face, along with the passionate admiration in her eyes, which she thought was well-hidden.
Yu Miao, who was no stranger to this kind of affection, imperceptibly curled her lips, but her beautiful eyes were devoid of emotion, even a hint of cold mockery.
Do you like me?
Well, it’s nothing, there will always be people who, because of her face, her appearance, her figure, her pheromones…everything about her appearance, will develop inappropriate thoughts towards her.
Those gazes are dirty, the hands reaching out are dirty, and the other things they want to do are even dirtier!
Just thinking that way is dirty.
Although she hadn’t met this person before, she had no impression of this young face…but since she liked her too, then she should die as well.
It’s okay, everyone loves her.
Everyone loving her is fine.
Yu Miao slightly raised her head, her mind flooded with the dark memories she hadn’t been able to escape before her accidental death in her previous life, and gave Yi Jing a charming and soft smile.
There are many more people who have said they ‘love’ her before this young girl…
I’ll drag you all down to hell.
…
A wind blew in from outside the church, newly opened flowers fell at Yu Miao’s feet, her soft, loose long hair was lifted by the wind, brushing across her stunningly beautiful face.
Yi Jing stared blankly at Yu Miao, unconsciously taking a deep breath, her ears turning red, and in a moment of panic and helplessness, she hid behind the wall outside the viewing platform—
—No good, my heart is beating so fast, so…so nervous ah!!
Night fell, and the lights came on.
In the top-tier luxury mansion in Jing’an City’s District Thirteen, extravagance continued. The entire mansion was beautifully decorated, especially the front hall, which was extravagant.
But perhaps because there were city politicians present, there weren’t many overtly “expensive” things in the banquet hall, and the scene wasn’t overly flamboyant, the atmosphere was calm and restrained.
But Yi Jing could tell at a glance whether it was really good stuff or not, this kind of thing couldn’t be hidden from her.
She only needed to glance at the placement of the wine, desserts, and supplies to guess eight or nine times out of ten.
But Yi Jing’s mind wasn’t on that now, her mind was full of what had just happened—why did she run away—!!!
Yi Jing, dejected and listless, returned to the front hall, absentmindedly glancing at the decorations in the hall, then dejectedly sat down in a corner of the banquet hall.
Ah ah ah, so frustrating!!
She didn’t know what was wrong, she wasn’t someone who would get stage fright, there was no reason to escape in that situation, but she actually turned around and ran away! Ran away!! That was someone she had finally met…what was she running away from ah ah ah!
If it weren’t for being in public, Yi Jing would have wanted to pull her hair out.
Running away because of embarrassment after being caught eavesdropping…is this something a normal person would do…but she couldn’t really be considered eavesdropping, she was watching openly! But why did she run away…
Would the other party think she was strange…
Yi Jing weakly supported her head.
“Jingjing?” Her aunt’s voice sounded beside her, puzzled, “Where did you run off to, baby? Didn’t I tell you that today is your inauguration banquet, and also the day you officially return to the Yi family? How can the banquet go on without you?”
So I ran halfway and came back…
Yi Jing never thought of herself as the real protagonist of the banquet, but if she, the ‘symbol’, wasn’t there, the banquet probably wouldn’t be able to proceed smoothly. Yi Jing looked around the banquet hall, leaned her head against her aunt, and easily changed the subject, “I just went out for some fresh air, has the banquet officially started, Auntie?”
“Of course not yet,” her aunt relaxed and sat beside Yi Jing, “Don’t worry, you haven’t arrived yet, and Grandpa hasn’t come either, the banquet won’t really start.”
Grandpa?
Yi Jing thought for a moment, the two ladies seemed to have mentioned Old Master Yi when they were secretly discussing her…could that person be the current head of the Yi family?
This felt a bit magical.
Yi Jing had almost finished reading the original text before transmigrating, but until the end of the novel, the mentions of the Yi family were still only a few strokes.
The Yi family was like a huge monster lurking in the shadows, and also like an unshakeable mental shackle. Everyone who mentioned the ‘Yi family’ would inexplicably feel fear and awe, as if retreating from people with the ‘Yi family’ label was an iron law written in the underlying code of all the characters.
But until the end, Yi Jing didn’t figure out what the Yi family did, nor did she know which system allowed the so-called ‘Yi family members’ to be so arrogant.
No one ever explained it clearly.
Even the perspective of Yu Miao, whom the reader followed, was the same.
In the original work, almost all of Yu Miao’s tragedies stemmed from the Yi family. She had conflicts with many people related to the Yi family, and was trapped in the Yi family several times, but Yu Miao couldn’t explain what was going on inside the Yi family either.
But now all this was going to be witnessed by her?
Because of her identity, could she easily enter the Yi family’s inner circle?
Yi Jing looked at the square stage that had been set up in the center of the banquet hall, suspecting that Old Master Yi and she would give speeches to the guests on that stage later. But what should she say…did Old Master Yi have other purposes for holding this banquet this time?
No one rehearsed with her…
Yi Jing was worrying in her heart, when her aunt handed her a stack of paper documents: “Right, Jingjing, take a look at this first. I’ll send you the other detailed information later, just take a look at this for now. It’s the general election in Jing’an City recently, your first trip after taking office will be in District Thirteen, you don’t need to rush to the central city to take office recently, just stay at the Yi family.”
Stay at the Yi family?
Yi Jing’s eyes lit up.
Just what she wanted!
After all, Yu Miao seemed to be in the Yi family now…
The image of the stunningly beautiful woman she had just seen reappeared in Yi Jing’s mind, that faint smile lingering in her memory.
Yi Jing shyly pursed her lips, couldn’t help but think: …Staying at the Yi family should give me a chance to see her again, right?
Now she couldn’t be sure if that woman was Yu Miao. But whether it was or not, she was very moved by that woman…she didn’t know what the other party’s identity was…um, is it convenient to be together?
“Jingjing?” Her aunt’s voice sounded again, “What are you thinking about, why aren’t you looking?”
“Oh, oh, oh!” Yi Jing hastily came back to her senses.
The documents were written vaguely, looking more like some kind of learning document issued by a unit, systematically introducing the recent work direction and the functions of several new working groups. Yi Jing glanced at it and roughly understood that this was just a framework, and the actual operation would depend on the specific personnel allocation.
Perhaps because there were many people and it was noisy at the banquet, her aunt wasn’t convenient…or maybe she couldn’t get the real documents to show her.
