That night, I had a dream.
I dreamed of what happened after my death in my past life. In my dream, Huo Yan was rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment. Outside the ward, Li Zhan was arguing with Niu Xinyan.
"Why didn't you protect Xiao Yan?"
"You, a businessman who can earn so much money, why couldn't you even protect Xiao Yan?"
Niu Xinyan replied coldly, "Li Zhan, I've already agreed to share Xiao Yan with you. What more do you want?"
Li Zhan retorted angrily, "Share? What right do you have to talk about sharing? You don't love Xiao Yan at all; you only love yourself and the Niu Family's company!"
Niu Xinyan laughed, "Yes, I don't love Xiao Yan because she doesn't love me. She loves you."
"If she doesn't love me, then why should I love her?"
"But you, Li Zhan, have been using Xinmin to control the Niu Family. Do you really think I don't know?"
Li Zhan sneered, "So what? Niu Xinmin is dead; there are no witnesses. What can you do to me?"
I suddenly woke up with a start. I rushed into the bathroom and gagged. Looking at my pale face in the mirror, I was filled with hatred.
Li Zhan!
I wished I could kill him!
I wanted him to regret it!
I wanted him to regret being born!
Before I knew it, it was the day of the school anniversary performance. I saw Huo Yan by the artificial lake at school. She was wearing a luxurious silver cocktail dress and an expensive diamond necklace around her neck. This was a gift from Niu Xinyan.
A few days ago, Niu Xinyan took her out just to buy that dress. I guess Huo Yan felt suppressed by me and was deliberately flaunting it. I walked past her without a glance.
Suddenly, Huo Yan called out to me. "Niu Xinmin!" she said with a bold smile. "Get ready to pay a thousandfold for this!"
I turned my head to look at her. "What did you say?"
Huo Yan shouted, "I said, you can't compete with me."
"Li Zhan loves me, and Niu Xinyan loves me too. You won't get either of them!"
I replied, "Is the water in the restroom tasty?"
Huo Yan was taken aback. I turned and walked away.
In the evening, I was getting ready to go backstage with the girls from the Dance Team. However, halfway there, I suddenly realized that my prop for the final curtain call was missing. It was a long piece of red silk.
Zhu Qian volunteered to go with me to retrieve it. I politely declined and asked her to help carry the other props first. I went back to the dance studio alone.
Just as I reached the bottom of the complex building, I ran into Li Zhan.
"Xinmin..."
I looked at him expressionlessly. "Is there something you need?"
Li Zhan frowned. "What kind of attitude is this towards me?"
I coldly replied, "What kind of attitude do you have towards me?"
Li Zhan sighed. "Xinmin, don't be like this. Can we talk properly?"
I replied indifferently, "No."
With that, I brushed past him and headed upstairs.
Suddenly, Li Zhan grabbed my arm.
Caught off guard, I gasped as I tumbled down the stairs.
Li Zhan leisurely descended the stairs and stopped beside me.
He looked down at me coldly and said, "Don't blame me; you did your best, and Xiao Yan did her best."
The pain was so intense that I could barely speak.
Li Zhan looked down at me from above and continued, "As for you, you had many opportunities, but Xiao Yan only has this one..."
Before he could finish his sentence, he suddenly stepped on my ankle and ground it down hard.
A wave of excruciating pain surged through me.
I could almost hear the sound of my ankle bone shattering.
I glared at Li Zhan, my eyes filled with hatred.
Li Zhan was taken aback.
He had never seen such a look of hatred in my eyes before.
Through gritted teeth, I said, "Li Zhan... I hate you... I will make you regret this!"
Li Zhan laughed, "Hate all you want; it's up to you."
He turned and walked away.
I lay alone on the cold ground, the pain nearly rendering me unconscious.
I don't know how long it had been when Zhu Qian found me.
She gasped, "Xinmin! What are you doing here? I've been looking for you everywhere!"
I weakly replied, "I... I accidentally fell..."
Zhu Qian was on the verge of tears. "Wait here; I'll go get help..."
