Reborn with the ability to read minds, I became a heartthrob.

On Tuesday, there weren't many cases at the police station, so Zhou Liwan asked Jiang Shiyue for leave early in the morning.

Jiang Shiyue, who was in the same circle, could not possibly not know where Zhou Liwan was going.

He wanted to say more, but Zhou Liwan shut him down with a few words, and then the director called him over, so he didn't make things difficult for her anymore.

I had no choice but to agree on a price.

Shen Nanzhou, however, made a special call to Zhou Liwan, warning her not to try to secretly hide her past from him.

The Chen family is definitely not a good place to go.

Zhou Liwan gave a perfunctory reply before hanging up the phone.

To avoid suspicion, he had Yao Ruofu's stylist secretly take a taxi to Yao's house.

Since the goal was to catch Zhou Qingya off guard, Zhou Liwan naturally had to make a stunning entrance.

She chose a bright red dress, which, combined with her fair skin, made her look like a princess from a fairy tale after her makeover last night.

Noble and elegant, exuding an aristocratic air.

Yao Ruofu rubbed her chin and circled Zhou Liwan several times: "Tsk tsk tsk, looking like this, who could possibly be your match? You're clearly not planning to leave any survivors for Zhou Qingya to get the goods."

Zhou Liwan calmly fiddled with her skirt, her expression indifferent: "Since she dared to do those things, she should have thought about the possible consequences, shouldn't she? If she had restrained herself a little, she wouldn't have suffered some unnecessary harm."

However, Zhou Liwan knew that it was impossible to get Zhou Qingya to stay quiet and not provoke her. Didn't she want to take away what was hers?

Since you dared to steal it, you have to bear the consequences.

Soon, the sky gradually darkened, and dusk settled in.

Although the Chen family is not as powerful as before, it is still a prominent and wealthy family.

There were naturally many people attending the banquet, but those who fawned over them were all from families of lower social standing or status.

Those who remain indifferent like chrysanthemums are all wealthy families who are well aware of the inside story.

Madam Chen naturally sensed this subtle change and felt somewhat uneasy, but she still dealt with the guests coming and going without showing any emotion.

However, Jing Huai said that Zhou Liwan would be coming today, and she would definitely show all those who look down on others what she's made of.

The Chen family is about to be married off to a young lady from the Jiang family—and that's the Jiang family!

Then they'll come crawling back like sycophantic dogs.

Madam Chen stared intently at the doorway, but Chen Jinghuai was just as anxious.

To be honest, others might not know, but he was a little unsure of himself because Zhou Liwan didn't give him a kind look that night.

They didn't reply to the invitations they received in the following days.

But he hadn't considered what would happen if the other party didn't come, so he could only wait anxiously.

Having learned from her previous experiences attending banquets, Zhou Qingya deliberately dressed more modestly this time.

There were no fancy decorations, just a simple long dress as a gift, and her hair was styled in soft curls.

After getting out of the car, she tightly gripped the invitation she had stolen from the Zhou family. Looking at the endless stream of people entering and leaving the Chen family's gate, she suddenly felt a little timid.

But the thought of being able to steal Zhou Liwan's man stirred a fighting spirit within her.

After regaining her composure, Zhou Qingya walked leisurely toward the gate with her head held high.

After handing the invitation to the doorman and feeling the respect he showed, Zhou Qingya's resolve grew stronger.

After entering, Zhou Qingya first found a corner where no one paid attention and watched the guests coming and going in the hall. She scoffed at those sycophantic families who kept leading poorly dressed girls to Chen Jinghuai.

What kind of people are they? How dare they show up in a place like this?

They didn't even consider their own status and position. The only people who could compete with her for Chen Jinghuai were those of Zhou Liwan's status.

While still mocking others, Zhou Qingya unknowingly placed Zhou Liwan in a position that was difficult for ordinary people to reach.

Ironically, she had the audacity to believe that she could be compared to her.

Her greedy gaze lingered on the Chen family's luxurious furnishings: the opulent crystal chandeliers, world-famous paintings, and antique vases.

Any one of them could change a poor person's life and free them from their fate.

She couldn't even imagine how happy she would be if she could marry into the Chen family.

Although she was sitting in the corner, she was still recognized by quite a few people in this circle because of the many jokes she had made in the past.

"I saw a timid and poor figure from afar, and I wondered who it was. It turned out to be Zhou's illegitimate daughter." A person stopped in front of Zhou Qingya and looked at her tacky dress with disdain.

Many people around were drawn to the mocking voice and stole curious glances.

Han Luoluo also heard the commotion at this moment. When she looked closely, her face immediately darkened. After the incident was exposed last time, she was scolded by her family.

For someone like that, she actually got scolded, and the more Han Luoluo thought about it, the angrier she became.

But then I realized something was wrong. I remembered my family saying that the eldest son of the Chen family had never taken a liking to Zhou Qingya.

He even met with her a few days ago to clarify things. Logically, after he had already met with Zhou Liwan, the eldest daughter of the Zhou family, he wouldn't have sent any more invitations to Zhou Qingya.

Otherwise, if these two people meet, something bad is bound to happen again.

Chen Jinghuai would never do something so brainless and deaf. So how did Zhou Qingya get in?

An idea flashed through Han Luoluo's mind, and with a smug smile on her face, she slowly walked over.

After pretending to see Zhou Qingya's face clearly, he asked with feigned confusion, "Isn't this the girl who's always chasing after Jing Huai? How did you get in today? I think Jing Huai is trying to avoid you, he shouldn't have given you an invitation."

The moment those words were uttered, everyone sensed something was wrong. Zhou Qingya's face turned pale, and her hand gripping the silver-trimmed fork tightened until it turned white.

He cursed Han Luoluo inwardly for being such a disruptive force.

But thinking of her goal, Zhou Qingya quickly composed herself and said calmly, "Of course I came because I received an invitation. Otherwise, would I have climbed over the wall to get in? Miss Han, you can see clearly that I'm wearing a long dress today."

Han Luoluo raised an eyebrow, clearly not expecting Zhou Qingya to be so shameless. Even though she had gone so far as to be so brazen, Zhou Qingya showed no remorse and instead spoke with such righteous indignation.

Indeed, it takes some courage to be a pure and innocent person.

Han Luoluo, of course, wouldn't give her a chance to escape, and directly waved to Chen Jinghuai, who was not far away, signaling him to come over.

Zhou Qingya's expression was somewhat strange, and her fingers unconsciously twisted together.

"Jinghuai, this Zhou Qingya, Miss Zhou said you gave her an invitation, is that true?"

Chen Jinghuai slowly walked in, and when he saw Zhou Qingya again, his face immediately darkened, and his tone became unfriendly: "Why are you here? Didn't I tell you not to see me again? Why are you so persistent!"

Han Luoluo shouted "Oh—+", and the sarcastic tone made Zhou Qingya grit her teeth.

But she tried to calm herself down, her eyes reddening, her head bowed, like a delicate flower ravaged by a storm, as she explained in a choked voice, "I also received an invitation, I thought..."

After saying that, she tremblingly handed over the invitation from her bag.
