Chapter 08 The real Yao Haiyan is back
Why am I so miserable?
Everything that originally belonged to me was taken away, and I have to endure so much injustice.
Obviously, I am the one who should be cared for. I am the real Yao Haiyan!
——Yao Haiyan

Sure enough, Seventeen hasn’t contacted me since we met that day, just as I expected.
Time passed quickly, and when Seventeen gradually faded out of my life, Cheng Xijun and his brother's birthday party arrived as scheduled. I don't know if it was a coincidence or not, but the anniversary of their parents' death and their birthdays were just one day apart.
The birthday party comes first, and the anniversary of my parents’ death comes later.
But there is no other way. I only have the opportunity to go back and pay respects to my parents on that day. I pay respects one day in advance, hoping that my parents will not blame me.
"Ruo Qiqi, you should change your clothes and prepare to go to Cheng's house with the young master. Remember to talk less and don't do anything wrong."
While I was daydreaming, there was a knock on the door, and Mother Yao reminded me in her usual tone outside the door.
"Oh, I'm here."
I responded hurriedly, then climbed out of bed and went under the bed to take out the carefully prepared box of clothes .
As if afraid of damaging it, I carefully put on the dress that Chi Yanze picked for me, put on a small faux fur cape on the outside, then holding the ten-centimeter high heels, opened the door and asked Mother Yao to help me put on some light makeup.
When Mother Yao helped me tidy up everything and I looked at myself in the mirror, who had completely changed, I felt like I was dreaming.
I think Cinderella in the fairy tale must have felt the same as I do now when she attended the prince's ball.
Unfortunately, I was not going to the prince's ball. Neither Cheng Xijun nor Cheng Ximing were my princes. The prince in my heart has always been Chi Yanze.
However, I also know that in reality, the prince’s final choice will not be Cinderella, let alone a fake, lying Cinderella.
"Good, go ahead." Mother Yao nodded at me with satisfaction and helped me open the door.
I went to find Chi Yanze excitedly, but as soon as I went out, an extremely dazzling light flashed before my eyes.
My prince is waiting at the door at this moment, looking at me gently with a faint smile on his lips.
The lights of a private car not far away shone on him. Chi Yanze, who was wearing a black suit and had chestnut-colored hair, seemed to be wrapped in a layer of golden gauze. He looked like a beautiful boy who was the focus of everyone's attention and made people unable to take their eyes off him.
"You look so beautiful today." Chi Yanze glanced at me and was obviously very satisfied with my outfit.
When I heard his words, I couldn't help but blush.
Although I know that I look prettier because of my clothes and makeup, I still can't help but feel proud when I hear Chi Yanze's praise.
"That's, beautiful, right? Haha!"
I smiled triumphantly, holding a beautiful dark green handbag in my hand, and when I was about to walk towards Chi Yanze, I didn't notice that I was still standing on the steps, so I missed a step. I was wearing ten-centimeter high heels, and as expected, my foot was twisted. I screamed in pain, and my body tilted and was about to fall to the ground.
Oh my god! I'm going to fall!
Woohoo…
It will definitely be very painful to fall this time, and such a beautiful skirt will also be dirty.
I cried out in my heart, and was so scared that I quickly closed my eyes and chose to leave everything to fate.
Suddenly, I felt a tightening around my waist, so I opened my eyes and saw Chi Yanze’s handsome face enlarged in front of me, and I threw myself into his arms.
A 180-degree spin, like the prince holding Cinderella in a pirouette, all that was left in front of my eyes were colorful dream bubbles. In a daze, I rushed towards him head-on and was hugged by him.
Chi Yanze frowned, sweating, and said, "You stepped on my foot."
"Ah! Sorry, I didn't mean it." I screamed and escaped from Chi Yanze's arms, looking at him jumping on the spot with his knees hugged, and said apologetically.
"It really hurts to be stepped on by high heels. I won't wear them next time."
"Do you think I want to wear it? People always say that wearing high heels makes your legs look longer. Don't I just want to dress up and not embarrass you?"
"You won't embarrass me." Chi Yanze said as a matter of course.
My heart suddenly felt warm, and I knew that no matter what I looked like, Chi Yanze would always stand by me.
But all this is because I am Yao Haiyan... I shook my head, trying not to think about this fact that made me unhappy.
Cheng Xijun and his friends’ birthday party was held in a hotel, which coincidentally was the same hotel where we had dinner together last time.
Although I have some negative memories of this hotel, I still like it very much.
Because this is the best hotel in the city, the decoration, furnishings, services, etc. are all the best.
I followed Chi Yanze to the banquet hall indicated on the invitation. After handing over the invitation, we both started walking around.
This banquet hall is very large and two-story with a spiral staircase. There is also a large hall on the second floor, which is also used to entertain guests.
As soon as I entered, I saw the birthday boys and girls Cheng Xijun and Cheng Ximing.
Cheng Xijun is indeed his father's most proud son, a rising star in the business world, very good at interpersonal communication, and busy greeting guests. The middle-aged man standing next to him should be his father. I seem to have seen a photo of him and Mr. Chi in the Chi family mansion.
In fact, these two men who are fighting with each other are friends, right?
I also saw Mr. Chi. He had gained weight and was not noticeable in the crowd. If it weren't for his funny face with a serious expression, it would be difficult for me to find him.
Mr. Chi was holding a glass of wine and talking to a few middle-aged men. He seemed to see us and nodded towards us.
There is no need to think about it. He was nodding at Chi Yanze. This has nothing to do with me at all.
"Dad is calling me, I'll go over there." Chi Yanze said to me.
I knew this would happen, and I was waiting for Mr. Chi to call Chi Yanze over so that I could go find Cheng Ximing and then go to my parents' graves to pay my respects to them.
"Go ahead, go ahead. I will take good care of myself . Look, Cheng Ximing is over there. I'll go over and say hello to him." In order not to make him worry, I pretended to be relaxed.
"Yeah." Chi Yanze glanced at Cheng Ximing in the distance and nodded.
I walked over to Cheng Ximing and found that he was not pestering Murong Shan for the first time. I subconsciously looked around and saw Miss Murong clinging to Cheng Xijun. I instantly understood why his expression was so resentful.
"Don't look at her. She won't like you if you look at her again." I said without any sympathy. "Don't be sad here. Let's go."
"Go away, don't block my view." Cheng Ximing tried to chase me away like a fly.
"Cheng Ximing, it's me! Stop looking, let's go." I stretched out my hand and waved it in front of Cheng Ximing's eyes.
"Who are you? I told you that you're blocking my view, why don't you get out of the way?"
Cheng Ximing was a little angry, he raised his head and glared at me fiercely.
Suddenly, he opened his eyes wide and opened his mouth, as if he had seen a monster.
"You are...Yao...Yao Haiyan?" Cheng Ximing said uncertainly.
Suddenly, cold sweat broke out on my forehead. We saw each other almost every day at school, but this guy didn't recognize me.
"Yes!" I nodded helplessly.
Cheng Ximing jumped up in fright, then leaned his head towards me, almost hitting my face.
"Yao Haiyan, did you have plastic surgery? How come you suddenly became so beautiful?" Cheng Ximing said exaggeratedly.
"You're the only one who had plastic surgery. Your whole family has had plastic surgery." I pushed Cheng Ximing away angrily. Maybe because I shouted too loudly, several people around us turned their eyes to us.
I lowered my head in embarrassment and pinched Cheng Ximing's arm hard .
"Didn't you agree to take me to the suburbs to worship today? Let's go quickly, otherwise we won't be able to get back in time for lunch." I reminded Cheng Ximing anxiously.
Cheng Ximing suddenly realized what was going on, turned serious, and nodded at me: "Yes, I have already arranged everything, come with me. But are you sure you want to wear this outfit?"
"I didn't bring any other clothes! Not having to change clothes saves time, and now I look so pretty, my parents will be very happy when they see me."
I spoke in a low voice, following Cheng Ximing's footsteps closely, and subconsciously looked in the direction of Chi Yanze, and saw that Mr. Chi was talking to him.
He lowered his head and didn't notice me. I breathed a sigh of relief and quickly caught up with Cheng Ximing.
As soon as we left the banquet hall, Cheng Ximing pulled me away.
Poor me, wearing ten-centimeter high heels, always had to walk forward with difficulty, risking spraining my ankle.
When I followed Cheng Ximing back to the suburbs to pay homage to my parents, I never imagined that everything would have changed when I came back again.
It seems that Ruo Qiqi can only be Ruo Qiqi again.
