Chapter 2

Your Good Fortune Is Yet To Come

Ming Liuyi tried to examine her body. In an instant, her eyes widened in shock, like seeing thunder on a clear day. What was going on with her spiritual spring? Why was it on the brink of drying up?

Ming Liuyi felt a myriad of emotions in her, but she did feel lucky. After all, the fountain was not completely dried up, which meant she still had hope. Otherwise, there were only two paths left for her. One, kill herself. Two, go mad when the male protagonist took revenge and suffer all kinds of torture in a mental asylum.

But so long as she had the spiritual spring, she still had hope to do something.

“Cough… water… water…” Ming Liuyi pretended to have just woken up and tried to attract everyone’s attention.

But no one paid her any mind! The crowd seemed to have automatically blocked her out.

Ming Liuyi felt a little embarrassed. She tried to move her body and found that the soreness had disappeared. She could now control this body, which did not belong to her.

Her throat burned and she was extremely thirsty. Without a choice, she could only sit up slowly and pick up the kettle on the cabinet beside her. She wanted to pour herself a glass of water, but she had underestimated the weight of the kettle. She ended up using too much force and broke the glass beside her with the kettle spout.

Crash!

The sound of the glass shattering on the ground instantly drew everyone’s attention. They also finally noticed that Ming Liuyi had woken up.

Ming Liuyi opened her mouth awkwardly, thinking about how to greet them in a manner that fitted Original Ming Liuyi, but then she was met with a wave of angry curses.

Yao Gui was the first to speak, loudly scolding Ming Liuyi, “What kind of care did you give Yao Zizhou? As his wife, you didn’t even ask how he was when you woke up. Instead, you start smashing things! I think it’s all your fault that Zizhou became like this, how dare you! If I had known you were so vicious, I wouldn’t have agreed to letting you marry into the family!” From Yao Gui’s point of view, when the Cai family arranged a substitute for the marriage candidate, saying she was some kind of sister as an excuse, he was already dissatisfied. Now that his son had become like this, he was even more furious.

In an instant, everyone’s eyes were focused on Ming Liuyi. From the looks of it, Yao Gui was going to kill her before Yao Zizhou woke up three months later.

“Uncle Gui, please calm down! I’m sure there must be a misunderstanding here. What do you think, Liuyi?” A young man spoke up to dissuade Yao Gui.

Ming Liuyi found the man in the crowd. It was Yao Ziyang, Yao Zizhou’s cousin. Now that Yao Zizhou was a vegetable, Yao Ziyang would completely take over the Yao Corporation. In his heart, he could not wait to applaud Ming Liuyi, so of course he would dissuade his uncle as a favor to her. After all, he had always held the image of a brotherly figure to others.

Yao Gui sighed. “Then tell me, why did all the housekeepers say that they saw you push Zizhou down the stairs?”

Ming Liuyi’s brain worked quickly. She widened her eyes and squeezed out a few drops of tears. She sobbed weakly, “How could I have pushed him? If that’s the case, why did I fall as well? Could it be that I would be willing to sacrifice my own life to harm my husband? I couldn’t control the wheelchair and wanted to pull Zizhou back. In the end, both of us fell down. Now that I’ve opened my eyes, you’re accusing me of this... I almost lost my life...”

Ming Liuyi saw that everyone’s expressions were wavering, so she continued to act even harder. “My feelings for Zizhou are sincere. Now that he’s in trouble, you guys treat me like this... I want a divorce, I want to go home...”

At this point, Ming Liuyi’s tears were real. She was in an unfamiliar environment, and everyone was a stranger to her. The family that she was familiar with and loved was no longer there. She was all alone in facing this dangerous and disastrous plot.

The more Ming Liuyi cried, the more aggrieved she felt. She kept sobbing, making people who watched her feel pity for her.

Seeing this, Yao Gui’s heart also softened, feeling that his tone just now was too harsh. Others might not know this, but he knew that ever since Yao Zizhou was injured, his personality changed greatly. Even towards his closest family members, he would either speak ill of them, or ignore them. Ming Liuyi was a young girl, but she was so sincere to his son. She must have been under a lot of pressure.

He could not help but lower his voice as he said, “In that case, you should live well with Zizhou. He’s just in a coma now, and all the indicators for his body show that everything’s normal. Once he wakes, that’s when your life will turn for the better.”

The air of hostility dissipated instantly, and Ming Liuyi’s grievances had lessened. Since she had already transmigrated into the book, she believed that she would be able to turn the situation around and live the rest of her life in peace.
