After the awkward dinner with her family ended, Chunlan decided to take a nap in her room. Meanwhile, the sisters, Tang Chunhua and Tang Chunying sat in the patio gazing at the birds chirping on the trees next to the windows.
"Don't you think Jie Jie is acting strangely? She invited us to go shopping.." Chunying asked, a little confused.
Chunhua scoffed. "She is surely up to something!"
How could Chunlan, their ruthless and selfish sister suddenly turn into an angel? Chunlan had always looked down on them, just because their births were unexpected. She never wanted to have anything to do with them, and now she wants to spend time with them? Unbelievable!
"We should make plans. We should not allow her to ruin our graduation." Chunying said exasperated. She had important guests coming!
"Don't worry. We will attack before she does. I won't allow her to make us a laughingstock!"
Chunying then bit her lips and said "I think I have a plan...."
The next morning, Chunlan and her mother went with the twins on a shopping spree. Entering V&K which was the most expensive and biggest fashion store in the city, the staff greeted them respectfully.
"What do you think about this green dress, Lan'er? It compliments your eyes and white jade skin." Haifeng touched the fabric lightly, her fingers gliding over the bows on the shoulder of the gown.
Chunying's eyes lit up as she passed by the jewelry section. "Mother, what do you think about this pearl necklace..."
"Ying'er! Don't be selfish! Don't you know that this trip is for your elder sister? Let her choose first." Haifeng's red painted lips curled in distaste.
Chunying bent her head, her eyes downcast. "I am sorry, Mother."
Haifeng ignored her, tapping Chunlan lightly trying to gain her attention. "Lan'er, what do you think of this dress?"
Chunlan sighed silently. If she wanted to patch things up with her little sisters, it seemed she had to take care of her mother first. "No, I don't like it. Let's look over there and decide slowly." She turned to the twins and said "Why don't you shop by yourselves and let's meet here later?"
Chunying sneered "We don't dare inconvenience Elder Sister."
Before Haifeng could give her a scathing glare, Chunlan dragged her mom towards the shoes section. " Mom, this black and red design is exquisite. Let's take a look."
After buying some things, she tugged her mother's hand. "The weather is so hot today, let's go that and buy some ice cream."
"Okay."
Sitting under the umbrella, they started licking the ice cream, looking at the customers passing by.
"Mum."
"Lan'er?"
"Why don't you like Ying'er and Hua'er?"
Haifeng became silent, her fingers clutching her purse tightly. "I don't dislike them, Lan'er. They are my children."
Putting her ice cream cone on the table, she turned to face her daughter.
"Lan'er, I was weak. I grew up in the society and have always tried to conform to their rules. By the time I tried to correct things, it was too late. They despise me."
Chunlan takes her mother's hand into her own. "Don't worry, they are a little stubborn, but they are still your daughters. As long as you are willing to change, they would change too!"
Haifeng smile lightly. "Alright."
Chunlan hardly stepped into the mansion when Chunhua grabbed her hand, gripping it tightly."Chunlan, what exactly do you want? Say it clearly! If you think you can bully me and my sister, just because you are back, then you are mistaken!"Chunlan pulled her hand back, her muscles cramping. She sighed heavily, repeating her mantra: They are your sisters! Your baby sisters!"Hua'er, I will admit today that I, Tang Chunlan have wronged you! I have failed to treat you and Ying'er well and I have no excuses. But from now on, I promise I will do better. Can't we just let bygones be bygones?!"Chunhua laughs before her eyes comes alive with pain and rage. "18 years! I waited for you to say that for 18 years! You never wanted to have anything to do with us, and you selfishly took all the love that was meant for us! Listen, I and my sister want nothing to do with you. Leave us alone!" She walked away angrily.
"Aw, so sweet.." Menxiang drawled."Okay, I have to go now. Bye, guys." Chunlan could hardly move her eyes from Jihai's own. Her heart felt alive in her chest."Bye." Jihai stared at the girl in the screen, his fingers failing to end the call. He could remain like this all day, gazing at her.Unable to bear it anymore, Mengqi stood up plastering a smile on her face as she walked to his side. "See you later, Chunlan." Her slender finger pressed the red button.Grabbing his sleeve, she whined softly. "Come, we are all drinking and you are the only one that is still sober.""Yet you didn't invite Chunlan." He removed his arm from her hands.She stammered. "I-I f-fforgot, okay? And besides we promised to get together at another time. Why don't you sit down and I will get your drink. Enjoy yourself, you are too uptight."Su Menxiang narrowed her eyes a
A small girl stood in the garden, plucking the sunflowers ruthlessly as she gazed at the gate impatiently. Where was he? He said he would be here! She stomped her feet in a tantrum."Lan'er, what is it? Why aren't you coming to play?" A small boy came behind her, dressed in a designer suit worth a small fortune not a thread out of place. He stared at the flowers on the ground solemnly, his little face set in stone."Nothing, Lin-ge, just go back. I am waiting for someone." She sighed, her little fingers playing with the edge of her dress as she looked at the ground, feeling sad.Honglin's face scrunched in confusion. "Who?"Chunlan was about to ignore him when she heard a sound at the gate, the stone landed on the ground with a thud. She became excited. "He's here."She ran to the gate and jumped up to unlock the gate. She smiled. "You are here."The cute little boy gazed at the gir
Tang Chunlan woke up with a gasp, her body covered with cold fear. If she hadn't transferred into another world or reincarnated, she wouldn't have thought this dream was real.But it was. As she placed her hand on the bed, she could feel that the sheets were damp. It would be a hassle to call a maid in the middle of the night so she took a bath, changed her clothes and the bedsheets. But unfortunately, she couldn't sleep and began to ponder on the situation.If what that woman said....what is her name?? Tamara, she remembered. If what Tamara said is true, then she must not make the same mistake again.Slowly but gradually, she formed a plan and fell asleep again."Miss! Miss! Please wake up!" An exasperated voice woke her. Opening her eyes, which was partly blinded by the rays of the sun coming through the room, she saw the outline of a femal
After the graduation ceremony that took place in the school, the elites decided to take the party back to the house. Waiters passed every guests, serving them while the parents and the two celebrants stood at the entrance welcoming the guests.Chunlan climbed on the stairs gracefully and turned to address them by hitting her glass with a spoon lightly.Having their attention, she cleared her throat lightly and said "Ladies and Gentlemen, thank you for coming to celebrate this auspicious occasion with us. The Tang family has always produced talents and scholars since ancient times. This has proved no different with the number of accolades my sisters have won during this graduation." She lifted her glass and smiled. "A toast to them, Tang Chunhua and Chunying!"The guests lifted their glass and murmured words of agreement and congratulations to the twins who stood bashfully.Chunhua stared at her e
Chunying followed her boyfriend, Zheng Wei shyly into the hotel room her heart beating loudly in her chest. Her nervous expression changed to astonishment."This-"Roses covered her feet from the door to the spacious bed with red curtains , the candles in the room giving it a romantic glow. The room designs were exquisite, fit for a queen. It was truly a grand gesture of love."Do you like it?" Zheng Wei gazed at the girl beside him.Chunying smiled shyly, her heart moved by the sight before her. All her life, she had always felt neglected and unwanted. When he had first approached her, she was scared and frightened. But with his constant love and patience, she knew what love truly meant. She now had no doubts."I like it."His eyes filled with pleasure. "Good."She lowered her head, smiling. Her long black hair and pale white skin gave her an innocent aura, a
Zheng Wei felt a cold chill down his back as he gazed at the figure by the door. She was vengeance and death itself as she seemed to be holding a........ stick?"Ha, ha!" He got up the bed and mocked her. "Its seem like we have company! The more, the merrier!"As he said this, the men rushed towards Chunlan intending to grab her."Sis...Sister!" Chunying wailed pitifully.Chunlan smirked. In her past life, she learned how to fight due to some pitiful circumstances. Gripping her iron rod tightly, her eyes narrowed. "Zheng Wei, you are dead!"When they tried to touch her, she maneuvered her body and swung her rod to one of them. But she barely managed to avoid a fist coming at her face. Angry, this time she hit the man's jewels making him yelp in pain. Running to the table, she grabbed the wine bottle and smashed it on her attacker's head.But she felt her head buzz in pain. Turning,
A scene from Tang Chunlan's first life....Tang Chunlan had just arrived home, her bodyguards and her personality assistant wearing gloomy expressions. They knew that Madame had just had a fight with Young Master again. Not that it was their business. But they were always the victims of the aftermath."Has my things arrived in my room?" Tang Chunlan's chilly voice echoed in the hall as she walked."Yes, ma'am.""You may go."As Chunlan walked, she sneered in her heart. Indeed, men could not be trusted. Didn't Bai Jihai promise her that she would never have to come back to this house? She was angry that he brought Shen Mengqi to the company to work after she had personally destroyed her family business!Was he trying to make me look like the bad guy? Then fine, I am the bad guy! Besides, didn't the male lead always eventually stand by the female lead in every story? Why was hers diff
