Stealing Your Heart

Her reflection looked menacing and desperate with her features twisted by greed.

She managed to calm herself down after a while and walked out of the bathroom.

However, she stopped halfway.

Someone was standing right in front of her.

Ling Wei narrowed her eyes. “Ms. Lin, when did you get here?”

Zong Yanxi relaxed her tense fists and said with a smile, “A minute or two.”

Ling Wei’s expression changed instantly.

Zong Yanxi chuckled lightly. “I’m kidding. Why would I hang out at the bathroom for that long? What’s up with the sour face?”

Ling Wei glanced at her without speaking and walked away.

Zong Yanxi continued standing there as the corners of her lips raised in a smirk.

So Ling Wei is the one who wanted to kill me.

Zong Yanxi would never have guessed.

She turned around and looked at Ling Wei’s retreating figure as her gaze slowly turned sharper.

Only Zong Yanxi would truly know the pain she was put through.

She walked into the bathroom and looked at the marble sink. The surface was so clean that she could see her silhouette reflected in it. She then raised her eyes to the mirror and looked at her completely different face. The injury could have healed on its own, but she was the one who had chosen to completely change her own face.

She used to be blind and foolish.

Now, she was a completely new person. She would make everyone who tried to crush her and lie to her pay for what they did.

She walked out of the bathroom. Instead of returning to the auction, she walked outside the hall and stood on the platform. She texted Gu Xian: I’ll wait for you outside.
