Female lead’s Delusion of Starting Over - Chapter 37

Chapter 37: Let Ye Chen Experience What Lu Li Went Through

The entire birthday banquet of Grand Master Cao was managed by Cao Yingying, including speaking on behalf of Grand Master Cao, which showed Grand Master Cao’s affection for this girl.

Among the numerous members of the Cao family, only Cao Yingying received such treatment.

For the members of various major families, these were not important; the most crucial part was the birthday gift segment. Whoever could impress Grand Master Cao at such an occasion and get a few more words of acknowledgement, their future would be smooth sailing.

Cao Yingying dealt with each guest, her face wearing a gentle, flawless smile that seemed to keep people at a distance.

“Zhang Corporation’s Zhang Ziqin presents a jade Buddha pendant, wishing Grand Master Cao good health.” Zhang Ziqin bowed her head, not allowing herself to see Cao Yingying’s face.
In her past life, after Lu Li’s death, this woman aggressively took over Lu Li’s place, not even giving her a chance for mourning.

She didn’t want to appear inferior in front of this rival in love.

Cao Yingying’s smile remained, but a hint of chill flashed in her eyes. After Lu Li’s death, this woman frenziedly attacked Ye Chen’s forces, causing significant damage to them, which made it easier for them to eliminate Ye Chen. But what of it? Everything, the reason for it all, was this woman.

And for the harm she caused Lu Li, those instances of public humiliation alongside Ye Chen, regardless of this woman’s intentions, Cao Yingying had not a sliver of goodwill towards Zhang Ziqin.

“This life, you won’t have a chance anymore, you don’t deserve it.” she thought to herself.

“Thank you, Miss Zhang, for your blessings to Grandfather.”

“…” Zhang Ziqin silently retreated. In front of this woman, she felt crushed.

Under any other circumstance, Zhang Ziqin could accept it, but she couldn’t accept being crushed by a rival in love.

“I, Ye Chen, present an antique from the Tang dynasty to Grand Master Cao, wishing Grand Master Cao and Miss Cao Yingying a peaceful life.” Ye Chen’s face showed a faint smile, his gaze towards Cao Yingying flashing with fervor.

Truly beautiful, this woman, a woman like her, apart from a chosen one like him, Ye Chen, who else could be worthy?

She must be his.

Cao Yingying’s eyes briefly showed a hint of killing intent, fleeting, yet still caught by Lu Li, who was particularly sensitive to such things.

What’s going on? Cao Yingying actually showed killing intent towards Ye Chen?

“Thank you, Mr. Ye Chen, for your blessing, but I think, for such an occasion, Mr. Ye Chen’s blessing for my grandfather is enough. Blessing me, Mr. Ye Chen’s intentions are quite puzzling!” Her tone turned cold, Cao Yingying’s usually impeccable control over her expressions seemed to fail at this moment.

Seeing the man who killed Lu Li before her, she couldn’t calm down. It was Ye Chen who killed the man she loved most, and Ye Chen, along with those despicable women, caused irreparable harm to Lu Li. It was also because of this Ye Chen that Lu Li chose death to escape after enduring everything.

She wouldn’t let such a thing happen again. This Ye Chen, she was determined to kill.

“Uh…” Ye Chen’s face stiffened, not expecting Cao Yingying to suddenly say such things. Feeling the strange looks from the people around, his face darkened.

What exactly is happening today? From Zhang Ziqin, Liu Menghan, to now Cao Yingying, one by one, these goddesses made him lose face.

“Ha ha ha ha, where did this Ye Chen come from, pulling this stunt, thinking a toad can eat swan meat.”

“What kind of person is Miss Cao? A guy whose background he dares not disclose, also harbors such thoughts.”

“Doesn’t he look in the mirror to see his own face? What kind of person is Miss Cao? He dares to fantasize. Really thinks by stirring up some trouble he becomes the boss.”

“Ha ha ha ha!”

Mocking voices continuously rose, feeling the ridicule in the eyes of the rich around, Ye Chen’s face grew colder.

His expression gradually became ferocious, hatred almost spilling from his eyes, but he still retained his sanity. In such a situation, getting angry could lead to unimaginable consequences.

“Zhang Ziqin, Liu Menghan, Cao Yingying, and Lu Li, you all wait! Today’s humiliation, I will never forget!!!”

“Hmph, first, let you experience what Lu Li went through in his previous life, consider it interest.” Cao Yingying was filled with killing intent.

“Mr. Ye Chen, if there’s nothing else, you should leave first. You’re blocking the way for others.”

No one felt there was anything wrong with Cao Yingying’s words, as Ye Chen’s words were indeed rude, tantamount to public harassment. It’s Grand Master Cao’s birthday banquet, and he

specifically blessed Cao Yingying, what’s the meaning of that.

Ye Chen also saw the situation clearly and left without a word, head bowed.

Lu Li frowned watching the scene unfold, though unclear why things were a bit different from his past life, he wouldn’t say anything. The so-called plot had long been shattered to pieces, he wouldn’t dwell on such matters.

After a while, it was his turn.

Finally going to talk to Lu Li? Cao Yingying couldn’t help but clench her hands, her teeth biting her lips, her eyes filled with intense emotion. Being able to see you again, how wonderful.

Her eyes reddened as if looking at a treasured reunion, she really wanted to rush up and hug him. The happiness of regaining what was lost nearly overwhelmed Cao Yingying.

But fortunately, she maintained her composure.

“Cough cough!” Grand Master Cao coughed lightly, signaling Cao Yingying to control herself.

The old and wise man naturally noticed his granddaughter’s unusual behavior. After scrutinizing the young man before him, who was quite handsome, not bad, not bad, it all depended on what gift you brought, kid. If it doesn’t win my old man’s heart, then don’t blame me for tripping you up.

Noticing Grandfather’s reminder, Cao Yingying blushed.

“Lu Li of the Lu family, comes empty-handed, hoping Grand Master Cao and Miss Cao won’t mind.”

Cao Yingying was good to him in his last life, he could feel it, even saying it was a rare light in his miserable past life. This life, the Cao family and Cao Yingying were also his targets to win over.

Cao Yingying: “???”

Grand Master Cao: “!!!”

Li Zichuan: “…Bro, don’t mess around, this isn’t a joke.”

The scene erupted into chaos.

“Pfft, ha ha ha ha ha ha!” Ye Chen laughed unabashedly: “I’m dying of laughter, coming empty-handed and still speaking so righteously, Lu Li, are you looking down on Grand Master Cao?”
