Capítulo 3: An Arrogant Woman
Editor: Atlas Studios
The next day, the warm sunlight shone in through the curtains. Si Yehan, who was on the bed, furrowed his brows and let out a groan of pleasure. He opened his eyes slowly and subconsciously reached out beside him but only felt a cold pillow.
He suddenly woke up and looked around. The room was empty except for a note left on the bedside table.
"In return for being my antidote last night, here's a prescription for you. Use this for three consecutive months and it will at least restore the feeling in your legs, even though it can't cure you completely."
"Also, the debt from last night is settled and we're even now. Even though you won't be able to find me anyway, let's pretend that we don't know each other even if we meet again in the future. I won't see you again. Bye!"
Si Yehan gritted his teeth and gripped the note tightly.
He would definitely find this arrogant woman!
Cheng Qianqian left the Luxury Bar but she was not in a hurry to return home. Instead, she went to the hotel and booked a room. She took a nice shower and changed into a new set of clothes before going to the pharmacy to buy some Chinese medicinal herbs and tinkered with them in the hotel room. Her originally fair face turned black along with a black birthmark on her slender neck. There was even a signature strand of long hair on it.
Looking at her transformed self in the mirror, Cheng Qianqian smiled in satisfaction.
Recently, there was a huge incident in the wealthy Cheng family of City Z that everyone was talking about.
Cheng Jinzhi, the daughter of the Cheng family, was accidentally exposed during a voluntary blood donation event to have a different blood type from that of the Cheng couple. Hence, it was found out that she was not a child of the Cheng family but had been mixed up by the hospital 20 years ago.
The Cheng family finally found Cheng Qianqian, their real daughter, after much effort.
Little did they know that Cheng Qianqian was dark and ugly and had never been to school. She was completely out of place in a wealthy family like the Cheng family and she was instantly ostracized by the people of the Cheng family. Even Cheng Ruohuai and his wife, the biological parents, did not like Cheng Qianqian. Instead, they liked Cheng Jinzhi more, the daughter whom they had raised for more than twenty years.
From the moment that Cheng Qianqian had returned to the Cheng family, Cheng Jinzhi had always regarded her as a thorn in her flesh, especially when she found out that Brother Feng Yi, whom she had liked for many years and was about to marry, was actually Cheng Qianqian's fiancé. She wished that she could turn her into ashes!
Last night, Cheng Qianqian had been careless and fell into Cheng Jinzhi's trap, but she won't let Cheng Jinzhi off easily!
After packing up, Cheng Qianqian threw all her clothes from last night into the rubbish bin. Then, she took the room card and checked out at the front desk.
The receptionist collected the room card and stared at Cheng Qianqian for a long time. Until Qianqian had left the hotel lobby, she was still puzzled.
"The lady from Room 2202 earlier was a fair-skinned beauty with long hair. How come the one checking out is an ugly country girl? I didn't see anyone else go up!"
Her colleague, who was beside her, was busy putting on a double eyelid sticker. She did not even look up as she replied, "Your eyes must be blurry from working the night shift for the whole night! In this world, there are only women who become more and more beautiful. Who would make themselves uglier and uglier!"
The receptionist thought for a moment. It did make sense. She must have mixed up with the occupants from the other rooms.
"Alright, I'll hand over my shift to you. I'm tired from the night. I need to go back and have a good sleep." The receptionist removed her nametag, waved at her colleague, and left the hotel.
