“Miss Rong, are you okay? Are feeling any discomfort?”

“It’s just a quick trip to the toilet, how did you fall so badly?”

“What do we do? Her face is injured and her makeup is all gone.”

“The engagement party starts in five minutes, there’s not enough time.”

For a moment, Rong Xuan could only hear chatter in her ears, as if there were countless birds chirping around her. She blinked her eyes a few times before her vision slowly became clear.

After her vision regained clarity, she saw two unfamiliar women in front of her looking at her with concern. She remembered that she’s clearly reading a novel a second ago, so how did she end up in such a strange place in the blink of an eye? She wanted to ask what was happening, but suddenly found herself unable to speak.

She opened her mouth and tried hard to form words, but was still unable to do so.

What’s going on?

“Miss Rong, are you okay? If you are, just nod, okay?”

Apart from a little pain on her face and being unable to speak, Rong Xuan felt that she was quite fine. Hearing those words, she subconsciously nodded.

Xiao Mei, the makeup artist, finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Rong Xuan nodding. She and the hairstylist, Uu, carefully helped Rong Xuan up.

Uu’s tone was worried, “Miss Rong, I should have gone to the toilet with you. Who knew—”

Xiao Mei quickly interrupted her, her voice was low and urgent, “There’s no point in talking about it now. We’re brought here by Elder Lu, so even if there’s an unforeseen situation, we must handle it properly.”

Uu bit her lower lip anxiously. “Now that her face is like this, all the effort we just put in is wasted.”

After arriving at the dressing room, Xiao Mei immediately closed the door. She asked Uu to help Rong Xuan to the sofa while she turned and quickly looked around for something in her makeup case.

Xiao Mei’s tone was calm, “Don’t panic, I remember I brought a wedding veil over which is just enough to cover her face. Her dress today is also red so it matches. I’ll decorate it with a few flowers later on.” In a little while, Xiao Mei found what she was looking for and said, “Is there a medicine box here? Please help treat the wound on Miss Rong’s face.”

Probably infected by Xiao Mei’s calmness, Uu quickly calmed down as well.

Today’s engagement party was very important so they couldn’t afford to mess up.

She found the medicine box in the corner and found cotton swabs and iodine. Her movements were very agile. “Miss Rong, it may hurt a bit but it will be fine soon. Your wound must be treated right away, otherwise even if you look this beautiful, it still won’t be good if it leaves a scar.”

Rong Xuan was still bewildered at first, but as the conversation between the two went on, an impossible thought began to emerge in her mind.

She…… did not transmigrate into a novel, did she?

Everything in front of her was so similar to the plot of the novel, 《Aristocratic Love: Young Master Gu Teases Me》, that she was reading before.

In the novel, Rong Xuan, the female supporting character with the same name and surname as hers, attempted to escape on the day of her engagement with the male protagonist, but was sent back by Father Rong. However, the female supporting character did not give up. She wanted to sneak away using the guise of going to the toilet. She didn’t expect that as she got there, someone would give her a hard push from behind.

There was a lot of water on the floor for some reason and female supporting character fell so hard that her whole face was bruised.

Although there was no evidence, the female supporting character’s intuition told her that this was a plan of her stepmother and half-sister. After realizing this, she exploded. She was only seventeen years old and in her second year of high school. She was impulsive and irritable. Regardless of others’ obstruction, she recklessly fought with her half-sister Rong Yi at the engagement party with her wounded face.

The female supporting character was greatly stimulated as a child and probably due to her inner resistance to communicate with people, she had been unable to speak for years. She couldn’t speak and couldn’t express her dissatisfaction through words, she could only vent using actions, making a big scene at the engagement party.

The engagement party wasn’t cancelled. In the end, she was still engaged to the male protagonist, but because of this, she also completely offended the Gu family.

The Gu family was a first class wealthy family that valued face the most, but she had trampled on it to the ground in front of so many guests, making them lose face.

The female supporting character had no idea that her grandfather did everything he could and even begged for this engagement for her, so that she could have a reliable person to rely on after he’s gone. It’s a pity that she didn’t know about her grandfather’s good intentions and destroyed the engagement party of the century with her own hands.

Her grandfather, Elder Lu, was in poor health and passed away not long after the engagement party. Then a few months later, the two families canceled the engagement due to various reasons. After that, the female protagonist appeared, and since she had showed up, there was nothing left for the female supporting character.

After recalling the novel’s plot, Rong Xuan finally knew what the situation was now.

She had pretty much read most of the novel before transmigrating, so she knew that the original Rong Xuan had not guessed wrong. It was indeed her half-sister, Rong Yi, who pushed her down in order to prevent the engagement party from going smoothly.

Rong Yi met Gu Ye, the youngest son of the Gu family, a long time ago, and fell in love with him at first sight, but unfortunately, she never had the opportunity to interact with him.

This time, the original Rong Xuan was able to get engaged to Gu Ye so Rong Yi was jealous when she found out. She thought that if she couldn’t get something, the original Rong Xuan couldn’t get it either. She knew that Rong Xuan was easy to anger and couldn’t control her emotions well, so she designed this plan to let Rong Xuan destroy the engagement party herself.

Just as she thought of this, Rong Xuan felt a pain on her face.

There was an obvious apology in Uu’s tone, “Miss Rong, bear with it for a moment.” Rong Xuan’s appearance was extremely delicate. She looks like an elf who had strayed into the earth, ethereal and elegant. Unfortunately, there was a large bruise on her face, damaging this beauty.

Both Uu and Xiao Mei knew that there was something fishy with this fall. Even if she did fell, it didn’t make sense to fall forward. Generally, if one slips and falls, their whole body would subconsciously lean back and their face would definitely not be hurt this badly. Though fortunately, Rong Xuan didn’t feel any other discomfort. There was no time to pursue it now as the most urgent thing was to make this engagement party a success. Other things could be settled later.

Rong Xuan blinked. Uu’s movements were actually very gentle. Although it hurt a little when applying medicine to the wounds, it was bearable.

Uu looked at the well-behaved and quiet Rong Xuan in front of her, feeling a little strange for a moment.

She remembered that not long ago, Rong Xuan’s face was still full of resentment, dissatisfaction, and viciousness, but at this moment, all these negative emotions had disappeared, leaving only gentleness and quietness.

In fact, when she saw Rong Xuan’s resentful expression before, she wasn’t surprised, only feeling bad. She and Xiao Mei were both hired by Elder Lu, and even the dress was prepared by Elder Lu himself. So to speak, the Rong family had little chance to intervene in this engagement party.

She knew that the waters in the wealthy families runs deep, but she didn’t expect it to be this much. Elder Lu was obviously wary of the Rong family, especially Rong Xuan’s father, Rong Yao’s current wife, Ji Ning.

But they didn’t expect for this accident to happen despite all the precautions.

Fortunately, there was a solution available.

Uu helped Rong Xuan apply the medicine and a smile finally appeared on her face. “Miss Rong, this wound will take a few days to heal. Don’t forget to apply medicine when you go back.”

Xiao Mei said as she properly put on the veil on Rong Xuan, “Apply medicine every day. When your face heals, it won’t be any different from before.”

Once she was done styling Rong Xuan, Xiao Mei finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The dress Rong Xuan was wearing was magnificent. Elder Lu spent more than a million to have it specially designed by a foreign fashion designer. It had no duplicate. Although it was a bit strange to wear a veil that covered the whole face, this was the only solution right now. Xiao Mei thought this look was fine for that night’s engagement party, plus the flowers she added acted as a nice touch.

At that moment, there was a knock on the door.

Xiao Mei locked the door when they came in so no one from outside could get in. She checked again to make sure everything was ready before opening the door.

Outside stood one of the venue’s staff, he said in a respectful tone, “May I ask if Miss Rong is ready?”

Xiao Mei nodded. “She’s ready.”

“Okay, then please follow me, Miss Rong.”

Xiao Mei hesitated for a moment before gritting her teeth and following along. As Rong Xuan’s makeup artist, although it was inappropriate for her to accompany Rong Xuan to the hall, it was still reasonable. She’s afraid of any further accidents on the way so she could only follow her audaciously.

Wearing a veil, Rong Xuan quietly followed behind the staff. After knowing the plot, she wasn’t too flustered that she couldn’t speak because she knew it was temporary.

The original Rong Xuan wasn’t speaking because she had been greatly stimulated in the past and insisted on remaining silent. Over time, she really was unable to speak. But after changing into her, the situation should gradually improve as she wasn’t resistant to talking.

She would be able to speak though it would take some time.

In the plot, the author had not revealed what kind of stimulation the original Rong Xuan had received. Perhaps it would be revealed later on, but Rong Xuan hadn’t gotten to that part yet. Rong Xuan had a premonition that the matter wasn’t simple.

But looking at it from a better perspective, she was now considered a rich second generation with no shortage of money. Since she had already transmigrated in the novel, she could only take one step forward at a time.
