Reborn Heiress: Seeking Revenge-Chapter 450 Li Wanying and Lin Mengjie 1(3)_1
Li Wanying, filled with anger, returned to the Li Family residence and proceeded to smash everything in her room. Whenever she thought of Shangguan Hao’s handsome face or his tender expressions, she would hide under her covers and weep. Shangguan Hao was the first man she had ever truly liked. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖
She didn’t know how long she had cried. When she woke up again, she found herself not in her room at home, but in an entirely different place. A pair of ice-cold hands were gently caressing her face.
"Who are you?" she cried out in alarm. She couldn’t move; she lay there stiffly as a pair of ice-cold hands softly touched her face.
"Who I am is not your concern. But I can help you fulfill your wish to become the legitimate Mrs. Shangguan, and the Shangguan Family will willingly welcome you," the voice was ice-cold, devoid of any emotion. Though Li Wanying couldn’t see his face, the hands on hers grew increasingly heavy. He was a dangerous man.
"Why would you help me?" Li Wanying suppressed the fear in her heart.
"Because Lin Mengjie must die," the man said with a sinister laugh. They shared a common goal: he wanted Lin Mengjie dead, and she wanted to marry Shangguan Hao.
From that day on, every action she took, every step she made, was directed by that mysterious person, who even managed to uncover Lin Mengjie’s impressive background.
She continued to visit the Shangguan Family periodically, vying for the favor of Elder Mrs. Shangguan, while Shangguan Hao and Lin Mengjie remained deeply in love. As Mengjie’s due date approached, Shangguan Hao spent increasingly more time at home.
And Li Wanying’s visits to the Shangguan Family became more frequent.
One day, orchestrated by the mysterious person, Li Wanying finally found the opportunity to make her move against Lin Mengjie and Shangguan Hao.
Liu Ruoling accompanied Lin Mengjie to the shopping mall, while Shangguan Hao rested at home. The mysterious person lit a stick of Enchanting Fragrance in Shangguan Hao’s study, then instructed Li Wanying to bring in tea. Everyone else in the house had already fallen into a deep sleep, manipulated by the mysterious figure.
Gazing at the unconscious figure in the room, Li Wanying’s lips curled into a smile. This was perfect. After months of waiting, the day had finally arrived. Her hand gently caressed Shangguan Hao’s face, softly stroking it as she looked at the unconscious man. Her heart raced faster. She moved Shangguan Hao onto the bed and carefully undressed him. The already warm room grew hotter, and Shangguan Hao’s figure before her became blurry.
Shangguan Hao’s previously closed eyes opened, and he gently touched her face. She was so thrilled she froze, never having expected that Shangguan Hao, who had always been cold towards her, also liked her. "Hao," Li Wanying called out softly, pressing herself against him. His movements might not have been gentle, but on this day, she felt like the happiest woman in the world. She believed she, too, had a place in Shangguan Hao’s heart.
That day, she floated on cloud nine, again and again, until she fell into an exhausted slumber, thoroughly satisfied. She felt the person beside her leave and clung to him even tighter.
Everything that followed was part of her plan. The room was not only lit with Enchanting Fragrance, but also contained a drug designed to agitate a pregnant woman’s emotions. Under normal circumstances, Lin Mengjie would have noticed, but the sight in the room had disturbed her so much that she fell right into Li Wanying’s trap.
Lin Mengjie’s heartbroken cries drew everyone in the building. She stared in disbelief at the man and woman on the bed, at the kiss marks covering Li Wanying’s body, and at the smear of fresh blood on the sheets.
Not only was Lin Mengjie shocked, but even Shangguan Zhi and the others couldn’t believe their eyes when they saw Shangguan Hao and Li Wanying. Li Wanying timed her sobs perfectly, insisting she hadn’t done it on purpose. Meanwhile, Shangguan Hao’s face turned ashen. He stared fixedly at Li Wanying. How could such a thing have happened in his study?
"Jiejie, listen to me! I have nothing to do with her!" Shangguan Hao quickly stood up from the bed, trying to embrace the staggering figure, but Lin Mengjie stepped aside. Yet all his explanations seemed so pale, so powerless. The truth was right before her eyes; could it be faked? Watching Lin Mengjie’s silent tears, his heart ached even more.
"Hao, that’s not what you said just now! How can you tell Mengjie that there’s nothing between us? I’ve given myself to you, and you just said you loved me. How could you do this? You just said that once Mengjie gives birth, you will divorce her. I gave my pure self to you; how can you disown me now? BOO HOO HOO!" Li Wanying, clutching the sheet around herself, displayed the proof of her virginity on the bed for everyone to see, leaving Shangguan Hao utterly speechless. She began to cry even more pitifully, her tears falling like pear blossoms in the rain.
"Wanying, don’t be sad," Elder Mrs. Shangguan promptly stepped forward, embracing the sobbing figure and soothing her gently.
"Don’t worry. Since our Shangguan Family is involved, we certainly won’t treat you unfairly. Now that this has happened, we will take full responsibility. Even if we don’t acknowledge it, I believe the Li Family won’t let us off either. Wanying, you’re a good girl, rest assured, rest assured. Shangguan Hao, that boy, will definitely take responsibility for you."
Elder Mrs. Shangguan immediately made her stance clear, intending to give Li Wanying an official position in the family. She had never liked Lin Mengjie and was now overjoyed that such an incident had occurred.
"Mom, Lin Mengjie will always be my only wife, and I know perfectly well what I did or didn’t do," Shangguan Hao’s countenance darkened. He gave Li Wanying a cold glance before turning his anxious gaze to Lin Mengjie.
"Mengjie, do you believe me?" Shangguan Hao looked at Lin Mengjie quietly, at the silent tears streaming down her face, waiting for her answer.
"How do you expect me to believe you?" Lin Mengjie gave a bitter laugh, gazing quietly at Shangguan Hao. They had clearly done everything two people could do together; how could she possibly believe him?
"I have nothing to do with her, Mengjie. My heart belongs only to you," Shangguan Hao looked at Lin Mengjie. Seeing the desperation in her eyes, his own eyes reddened slightly.
"Hao, how could you treat me like this? That’s not what you said just now! BOO HOO HOO! I don’t want to live anymore! I don’t want to live!" Li Wanying burst into tears.
"Mengjie, what happened between her and me is not what you think."
