"Where am I?"That was the first thing that Xiao Yunhua asked herself when she woke up. Did she dream the whole thing? Was there no system and was it all just her imagination? How tragic would it be if she were stuck in her previous life. How tragic would it be if she were to have no chance at change.
She glanced around and saw that she was surrounded by sepia. Out of the corner of her eye, Xiao Yunhua saw a woman holding the hands of a man. The woman was familiar, but Xiao Yunhua didn"t know from where. The couple looked really happy and in love as they both walked inside of a small mansion.
The scene s.h.i.+fted to another woman. This woman was beautiful, but not as beautiful as the previous woman. But unlike the previous woman with her kind features, this woman had the cold eyes of a snake and her face was contorted into jealousy. The previous woman had long, glossy black hair and a pair of gem-like black eyes. This woman... albeit beautiful, it was more like poison. A poison that could cause suffocation, a poison that would ruin all.
And that"s exactly what she did.
Xiao Yunhua watched as she framed the previous woman into having an affair; she watched as she continued to fill the mind of the man with lies. The injustice towards the previous woman was too overwhelming to the point that Xiao Yunhua wanted to help her. She sensed a feeling of comfort for the woman, as though they were close.
Subconsciously, her eyes filled with tears of sympathy. This poor woman, why was she so mistreated?
All through what seemed to be a movie-type-of scenario, there was no sound. But finally, Xiao Yunhua could hear the man shoo the woman away. "Han Mi, you... have ruined my trust in you."
Han Mi? This was what happened to her adoptive grandmother?
"Zhou Wulong, do you not trust me this much?" Han Mi"s tears kept falling. They"ve already had four children together, even grandchildren, yet he didn"t believe her. He believed fabricated rumors and evidence, he believed a snake.
"What am I supposed to trust?" Zhou Wulong sighed with clenched fists. "I saw you with a man." Hearing his confirmation, Han Mi body shook and her eyes glimmered with desperation. This last strand of hope, has she lost it completely?
The scene s.h.i.+fted again and Xiao Yunhua saw that a young version of Butler Luo informing Ling Xiu and Zhou Wulong about the demise of Han Mi. In reality, the scene s.h.i.+fted again to Butler Luo telling Ling Xiu that her planned worked and that Han Mi was dead. The devious woman was indeed overjoyed, but she never expected for Han Mi to survive the accident she planned for her.
After surviving the incident, Han Mi had gone outside to a small village. Two years later, after fainting, the woman had gone to the doctor to found out that she was ill, but this was not an illness that they could cure. So, despite the awful memories, she still decided to go back to the capital, where she found out that she was suffering from early stages of leukemia. And by fate, Xiao Yunhua saw the scene of when she first met Han Mi.
Her tears were continuous at this point. She didn"t stop crying because her precious grandmother had suffered so much. Even though she discovered her leukemia at an early point, Han Mi didn"t treat herself because treatment was so expensive and she preferred to raise Xiao Yunhua.
Reminiscing about the past, Xiao Yunhua remembered that there were times where her grandmother easily got sick. Of course, she brushed it off as her grandmother being overly frail, but was she really? Was Han Mi suffering in silence? How awful was Karma to ignore this hardworking woman and to allow Ling Xiu, now Zhou Eldress, live in luxury?
No, Karma didn"t seem to exist. Instead, Xiao Yunhua clenched her fists and reminded herself of her original goal: avenging Han Mi. The poor woman had suffered so much, it was only fair to let her rest peacefully knowing her wrongdoers were suffering.
