Chapter 381: Chapter 382: She is Afraid
She had never seen any beauty more striking than Ye Xingbei.
Even if she was reluctant to admit it, she had to concede that Ye Xingbei was more glamorous and more beautiful than her.
Especially her contradictory aura of being ethereal yet alluring – even as a woman, she couldn’t help but gaze in wonder, let alone the men?
From that day onwards, Ye Xingbei became her imagined adversary.
Though Ye Xingli repeatedly claimed that he considered Ye Xingbei as his sister, it was only because Ye Xingbei was younger back then.
In these past few years, Ye Xingbei had matured and become more charming and radiant.
When Ye Xingli suddenly found that the little girl had grown into a stunning and alluring woman, could he still consider Ye Xingbei as his sister?
When Ye Xingli was captivated by Ye Xingbei’s beauty and wanted to marry her, how could she still remain the Second Young Madam of the Ye family?
This fear took root in her heart and grew stronger over time.
At that very moment, thinking back to her ejection from the Star Palace by Xueno, her angry call to Ye Xingli to complain about Ye Xingbei’s violent acts – his impatient reprimand and the abrupt end of the call still managed to upset her.
When she tried to call back, Ye Xingli had already turned off his phone.
Furious, she threw her phone away and broke into tears.
She was afraid.
She had dreamt more than once that Ye Xingli dumped her to marry Ye Xingbei.
She could only watch helplessly as Ye Xingli walked down the wedding aisle hand in hand with Ye Xingbei, crying out in despair from afar.
She glared at Ye Xingbei, who was happily interacting with the crowd, her fists clenched tightly.
No.
She would never let that happen!
She was determined to become the wife of the Ye family’s second young master.
Absolutely!
A few minutes later, the charity auction officially began.
Ye Xingbei donated a painting from her collection and it fetched 1.2 million. Neither the highest nor lowest price of the night, it fitted well with her usual social conventions.
The auction proceeded smoothly.
An hour later, the auction ended successfully, and the celebratory reception began.
Just when Ye Xingbei was considering sneaking off after completing her task, she was blocked by Leng Peini.
“Ye Xingbei!” Leng Peini cornered her and called her name in a dark and gloomy tone.
Ye Xingbei quietly gestured to Xueno to stop him from coming closer, and smiled leisurely, “Need something?”
Leng Peini hated Ye Xingbei’s aloof attitude the most.
Ironically, Ye Xingbei was actually more pitiful than her.
At least she had a rich and powerful uncle by her side.
Meanwhile, Ye Xingbei was a homeless dog that had been kicked out, her reputation tarnished, and left with absolutely nothing.
Why did Ye Xingbei always act like she didn’t care about anything or anyone?
She glared at Ye Xingbei, suddenly started laughing, and said, “Come, Beibei, I have something interesting to show you!” as she took out her phone.
She switched her demeanour in an instant. Just seconds ago, she looked as though she wanted to tear Ye Xingbei apart, now she was all smiles.
Honestly, Leng Peini was quite a beauty.
If only her character was as beautiful as her face, Ye Xingbei wouldn’t have been determined to break her up with Ye Xingli.
Seeing Leng Peini’s malicious grin, Ye Xingbei didn’t mind and stood her ground.
She had to give Leng Peini the opportunity to expose her true colors if she wanted to reveal them..
