Jian Manor in S City was abuzz with the birthday dinner for Miss Jian, the young lady of the Jian family.
Miss Jian, or Jian Laixin, was elegantly dressed in a red floor-length dress, the silk gown accentuating her perfect curves, making her more captivating and seductive.
Her delicate facial features were bare of makeup, yet her naturally fair and smooth skin, contrasting with the diamonds on her red dress, appeared even more radiant and soft.
Clutching the hand of her husband, Yin Sibo, Jian Laixin had a proud and joyful smile on her lips.
It is both her wedding anniversary and her birthday today.
One couldn't help but gaze enviously at Jian Laixin, who was as dazzling as a princess, and whisper in private,
"I heard that Jian Laixin's stepmother dotes on her, treating her even better than her own biological daughter."
"Yes, and the Star of Eternity necklace she's wearing was bought by her stepmother, Jia Jingrong, from a famous Italian designer named Hank. She spent over ten million to get her hands on it!"
"Look, that's Jian Mengling, Jia Jingrong’s older daughter. She's absolutely stunning, how pitiful!"
Jian Laixin responded with a proud smile. She could say that her life was successful. Despite losing her birth mother early on, she had a loving husband, doting parents, and stepsister…
"How is it? Are you tired?"
An hour later, on the balcony, her husband, Yin Sibo, gently brushes the bangs off her forehead. His handsome face is filled with deep affection.
Having just made rounds toasting the guests, Yin Sibo noticed the hint of tiredness on her face, thus bringing her here.
"With you by my side, I am not tired at all."
Jian Laixin said with a smile while sipping on the juice Yin Sibo had got for her. Yin Sibo lowered his eyes, guilt flickering briefly across them.
"Sister, best enjoy yourself now. I'm afraid your birthday will soon become your death day!"
A chilling voice echoed through the room, rendering Jian Laoxin speechless. She watched her half-sister, Jian Mengling, push open the door and step in.
Located by the sea, the villa had a balcony poised right over a cliff, but the door to it was soundproof. The chatter and laughter from inside the hall couldn't disrupt or hear any events transpiring here.
An ironic and venomous smile decorated Jian Mengling's usually sweet and quiet face. She closed the door behind her, walked over to Jian Laoxin, and shoved her hard.
"Keep your hands off my man, you little tramp!"
Jian Mengling shrieked. Jian Laoxin turned pale and looked at Yin Sibo, who, in return, averted his gaze with an apologetic look. The gentleness in his eyes was replaced by a growing coldness.
"How amusing! Mengling, Sibo is my husband. So, who exactly are you to call me a tramp?" Enraged by her sister's audacity and intimate posture with her husband, Jian Laoxin impetuously stepped forward, raised her hand to slap Jian Mengling.
However, Yin Sibo quickly held her by the wrist. "Laoxin, I've wronged you. I've loved Mengling for a long time..."
As though a thousand arrows had struck her heart, Jian Laoxin was stunned. "What did you just say?"
Her husband, whom she'd been married to for a year, had fallen in love with her sister? When did this transpire?
"It started three years ago!" came a smug reply from Jian Mengling, revealing a face no longer hidden behind a disguise. "I'm even two months pregnant with Sibo's child. So, sister, why don't you just die!"
Jian Mengling's face twisted in malevolence. A dumbstruck Jian Laoxin failed to comprehend what was happening.
"Sibo, why on earth?"
Yin Sibo, devoid of any remorse, glanced coldly at Jian Laoxin, "Laoxin, I am tired of being with you. I can finally be with the woman I love starting tonight."
Jian Laoxin's face paled even more, and Jian Mengling stepped forward. "Jian Laoxin, do you wonder why our mother always spoils you, turning you into a prideful, obstinate, and ignorant little Miss, chasing after luxuries all the time? Do you know how much our father resents you?"
Jian Laixin felt a chill creep up her back! Indeed, she didn't know when she started developing an obsession towards luxurious items, like an intoxication. Once she set her eyes on something, she had to own it!
"Mommy raised you such a fool, however, Daddy still pretends to dote on you despite his disgust, just so he can con the massive inheritance you possess… We slipped some drugs in your juice earlier, and soon you will fall off a cliff and die. Henceforth, your inheritance will become mine, so will your boyfriend, and this villa worth tens of millions…”
“Slap!”
Jian Laixin lost her cool, delivered a slap across Jian Mengling's face and blurted, “Bitch, how dare you?”
“Jian Laixin! How dare you hit my beloved woman!” Yin Sibo, upon witnessing the scene, evinced rage in his eyes, he retorted by pushing Jian Laixin back a few steps, landing her against the railings behind her!
Jian Laixin felt a gash in her heart, and a burning sensation on her face. She looked at her husband in disbelief, surely, the man who's been showing her nothing but love for the past year wasn't hiding such a thing!
Not just Yin Sibo, but also her stepmother Jia Qingrong, and stepsister Jian Mengling! These two venomous women, behind their pretense of goodwill, lurk profound malicious intents!
“Yin Sibo! Jian Mengling! You two, dog man and woman, come here…”
Jian Laixin intended to yell for help, but her body began convulsing all of a sudden, an inexplicable surge of excitement made her whirl about wildly!
“Sis, this is a pretty potent drug... a novel drug, indeed! Hehe, when you’re dead, everyone will assume your demise was due to drug overdose! Also, remember the dinner seven years ago, you drank a similar novel drug that I offered. Moreover... your mom, that cheap woman, was actually poisoned to death by my Mommy…”
Jian Mengling laughed coldly and leaned on Yin Sibo's chest. Her laughter was like a poisoned sword, blinding Jian Laixin.
Jian Laixin, although her movements were controlled by the drug, her mind retained its lucidity.
“You bitch… So it was you who killed my mommy…and drugged me…” Jian Laixin had a eureka moment, but it was too late.
Her body started moving involuntarily, and Yin Sibo began to walk towards her, “Jian Laixin, for the sake of our year-long matrimony, I will at least give you a quick death!”
After he finished speaking, Yin Sibo's eyes, once brimming with affection, now shone with a cold murderous intent. He pushed Jian Laixin towards the edge of the cliff!
Jian Laixin clung desperately onto Yin Sibo's clothes, her eyes teary, her heart ached terribly.
“No...wait! Don't kill me, I have a piece of land worth billions…” Jian Laixin pleaded, her eyes full of desperation, “Don't kill me, I'll transfer the entire land piece to you!”
Yin Sibo and Jian Mengling exchanged glances, their eyes sparkled with avarice.
“Let me tell you... Sibo, come here…” Jian Laixin shivered and pleaded with Yin Sibo.
