"Dad! Im not Chen Cheng! Im Luo Yao! Why did you give me an ID card like this? Why did you change my name?"
Seeing her own name inexplicably changed to Chen Cheng, Luo Yao stared at her father Chen Hengzhi, whom she had just recognized three days ago.
Out of the blue, without even discussing it with her, he suddenly changed her name.
Stepmother Li Zixuan walked down from upstairs with elegance. Coldly opening her mouth: "If you change your name, just change it, whats the point of being stubborn? Being able to use Chen Chengs name is your good fortune, whats there to be entangled about?"
Li Zixuans tone was very disdainful.
Its as if Luo Yao changing her name to Chen Ceng is her greatest honor.
Luoyao refused, shaking her head firmly: "Im not Chen Cheng, and I dont go by the name of Chen Cheng. Return my original ID to me."
Luoyao reached out her hand to Chen Heng, her stubborn face leaving no room for negotiation.
"Haha! How ridiculous!" Li Zixuan walked downstairs and sat on the sofa in the living room, "Youre all going to die soon, and you still care about a name?"
"What do you mean? Whos going to die?" Luo Yao stared at Li Zichen and Chen Hengzhi in terror, watching as the two of them remained silent for half a day. Luo Yaos anger flared up, and she bellowed, "Speak! What did that just now mean? Whos going to die? Me?"
"Thats right, its you!" Li Zixuan said with a dark face. "Do you think we went to so much trouble to find you just because we miss you? Dont daydream anymore. We found you back for the alliance between our family and the Ye family in Beijing, to save your fathers company."
"What?"
Luoyaos mind went blank, feeling as if the sky was about to collapse. She stared at her father in disbelief, this middle-aged man who had played the role of a kind father for the three days since they had recognized each other.
"Is this true?"
Chen Heng knew he didnt dare meet Luo Yaos gaze, so he averted his face and nodded slightly: "Yes."
"Why?"
Luoyaos voice was cold and detached, as if her entire being had turned icy.
From head to toe.
If she hadnt grown up in an orphanage since childhood and cultivated a calm demeanor, she feared that she would collapse.
"Why?" Li Zixuan took the tea handed over by the nanny, imitating the mannerisms of a wealthy lady from movies and TV shows. She scraped the tea leaves with the lid of the cup before slowly taking a sip. "Dont ask so many whys? When its your turn, its your problem, got it?"
"Is it my turn now?" Luo Yao sneered with a smile, "After twenty years, theres no good fortune that I havent had, and yet this kind of thing where you rely on selling your daughter to curry favor with another family has fallen to me? I wont go, whoever agreed to it should be the one to go."
"Who promised to go? Your dad promised, are you letting him go? Ha! What a filial daughter."
Li Zixuan looked at Luo Yao with a sarcastic tone.
"Ye Jia, thats the number one aristocratic family in the Imperial City. If it werent for Ye Mo Yuan being born with a fate of being oppressed by his wife, do you think someone like us from a small and insignificant household would have had a chance? Would someone like you, an uncouth and uneducated country bumpkin, have had a chance? Tsk! You dont even know what kind of virtue you possess."
"No matter what virtues I have, I wont marry." Luoyao said resolutely.
She knew she couldnt stay at Chens house anymore and had to think of a way to leave as soon as possible.
Li Zixuan seems to have telepathy.
She looked around with her eyes and sneered.
"Dont waste your thoughts, Ive arranged everything inside and out of this house, you cant escape. The master said that he will send you over at midnight tonight. Whether or not youll see tomorrows sun depends on your luck. According to tradition, the bride usually dies on the wedding night. Its rumored that Master Ye has a hard fate, having killed six women in the past six years. Youre the seventh one, I hope youll be rich and prosperous, dont get killed."
