Chapter 1
A Tragic Death in Prison
City A women’s prison, prison hospital, intensive care unit.
Su Yuan was lying on the bed all alone, barely breathing. She was connected to various tubes and devices that monitored her vital signs, and she looked like she could die at any moment.
At this moment, the door of the ward opened. it seemed that someone had arrived.
Su Yuan was too weak to even turn her head, so she could only look at the door from the corner of her eye.
A familiar yet hateful face appeared in her line of sight. It was her half-sister, Bai Yurou.
Bai Yurou and the prison guard entered the ward together. The two of them said something to each other, and the prison guard left the ward after that, turning off the surveillance cameras.
After the prison guard left, Bai Yurou walked beside the hospital bed and looked down at Su Yuan. she chuckled, “The prison guard informed me that you’re about to die. I’m here to see you for the last time, my sister.”
Su Yuan had already reached the end of her life, but when she heard her words, she slowly clenched her hands into fists. Due to her agitation, the monitor started to beep.
Bai Yurou’s face was full of mockery when she saw Su Yuan’s expression. She lifted the blanket and pulled out all the cables connecting Su Yuan’s monitor to the medical device.
Then, she leaned over and whispered into Su Yuan’s ear, “Sister, don’t get too excited. I have good news for you. Next week, your fiancé and I will have our wedding. Unfortunately, you probably won’t live to see that day.”
When Su Yuan heard this, a tear of regret flowed down from the corner of her eye.
Bai Yurou seemed to be satisfied with her reaction. she continued, “Just accept your fate, sister. Even though you love him deeply, he only treated you as an obedient dog from the beginning. He just wanted to use you. Why don’t you use your brain and think, how can you be worthy of him with your status? This is what you get for trying to get something you’re not worthy of. You deserve everything that has happened to you.
“Oh, right, sister, you still don’t know why you’re in prison, right? Let me tell you a secret. it was your most beloved Pei Xifan who colluded with his brother to pin the crime of murder on you. Because of this, his brother was promoted. This is all thanks to you!”
Su Yuan’s eyes were wide open, and she was writhing in pain, whimpering.
Bai Yurou pretended to be concerned and asked, “Haha, sister, you look so uncomfortable. Do you need me to call a doctor for you?”
She paused and continued, “But, sister, what’s the point of living in this state? The person who sold me the poison told me that this poison would slowly cause your organs to fail. Even if it only acts up now, you’ll be beyond saving.
“You shouldn’t have known, but your food has constantly been poisoned. You’re really stupid, sister.
“So, sister, in order to reduce your pain, let me help you.” With that, Bai Yurou placed her hand on Su Yuan’s oxygen mask and pulled hard.
“Be good. In your next life, you’d better stay away from me. Otherwise, I won’t show you any mercy. goodbye…”
Su Yuan suddenly felt suffocated. her body started to convulse, and her consciousness started to blur…
Suddenly, Su Yuan stood up and took in deep breaths of air. The air was filled with the smell of grass.
After a long while, she finally recovered from the suffocating feeling. She looked around and found herself on a spacious lawn.
There were tables, chairs, and couches on the lawn. flowers, food, and wine were everywhere. Many young people in formal dresses were drinking and chatting. They seemed to be having a party.
On the other hand, Su Yuan was wearing a light yellow, feathered long dress. She stood in front of a sofa like a ridiculous chick. Many people around her heard the commotion and looked at her with disdain.
Su Yuan rubbed her eyes, not understanding the situation, and still felt a little dizzy.
“Sister, you’re still not used to this kind of occasion, are you?” Bai Yurou asked, concerned.
Su Yuan looked toward the source of the voice. The murderer who had just killed her was now holding a glass of wine and handing it to her with a smile.
Su Yuan’s eyes flashed with anger and fear, and her face turned ashen.
Bai Yurou did not notice Su Yuan’s strange behavior. she smiled and consoled her, “It’s okay, sister. You just moved here from the countryside, so you still need some time to adapt. But as the eldest daughter of the Bai family, your 18th birthday party must be perfect. Bear with it for a while longer, it’ll be over soon.”
