Prologue
The girl in the red dress sighed and said, "Qingxue, I know you don't really want to marry that useless Ye Mo. Who in this world could possibly be worthy of you? Although I understand that when you said you would marry Ye Mo at that gathering, it was merely said in anger, or perhaps just using that useless man as a shield. However, Qingxue, for women of our status, marriage is no longer something we can decide for ourselves. After blocking once, there will be many more times. If you keep using that useless man as a shield, with the means of those young masters in the capital, it is possible that he might disappear forever, leaving you with no excuses."
The girl in the white dress gazes at the countless skyscrapers in the distance, along with the cars and pedestrians that appear no larger than ants, remaining silent. It seems as though everything is unrelated to her.
The woman in the white dress furrowed her brows and said, "I did not send anyone to kill him, and besides, what does his life or death have to do with me? Since the day I became engaged to him, I have not known whether he is round or flat. If he really has been killed, he can only blame himself. Mu Mei, didn't you say that he is currently struggling to make a living? Why don't you give him one million, and consider it a reward for me using him as a shield? From now on, do not mention this person again. I am me, and he is he; we have no connection whatsoever."
"Qingxue, if you take one million, are you trying to make him die faster? Do you know what kind of person he is? He is a wastrel, yet a discarded child of a noble family who lacks the qualifications to be a wastrel. With one million, he would immediately flaunt it, making sure everyone on the street knows. I think it would be better to take just twenty thousand instead," said the woman named Mu Mei.
"Alright, you go ahead and take care of it. I no longer wish to be bothered by these matters," said the woman in the white dress. After saying this, she no longer felt inclined to utter another word, merely staring blankly at the distant sky, lost in her thoughts.
Beijing, with a total population of tens of millions, is the largest metropolis in Huaxia. If one stands atop a building in Beijing and looks down, one sees an endless expanse of matchboxes, with high-rise buildings of varying heights densely packed together.
At this moment, two women were standing at the top of the headquarters building of Ning's Herbal Medicine in Yanjing. One was dressed in a white velvet dress, her expression calm. Upon closer inspection, one would find that she was indeed a stunningly beautiful young woman. At this moment, her dress was lifted by a gentle breeze, creating a slight ripple, which, combined with her exquisite features, made her appear like a celestial being from the heavens, evoking a sense of reverence that made one hesitate to approach, as even a slight proximity felt like an act of desecration.
"Qingxue, are you really going to marry that, that Tian... what was it, Ye Mo?" The speaker was a woman in a red dress standing beside her. Although she was also a beautiful woman, she paled in comparison to the one in the white dress.
