***************

There were only ten days left until Hai Lan and Wei Zhijie’s engagement.

As the day drew nearer, Hai Lan’s mood improved significantly. Those unaware thought her happiness stemmed from the upcoming engagement.

Only those in the know understood that her joy came from the prospect of soon being free from Wei Zhijie.

Contrastingly, both Wei Zhijie and Yun Shan were becoming increasingly unhappy.

Wei Zhijie realized that things had gotten irretrievable.

If he were to call off his engagement with Hai Lan now, he would surely be scorned by the whole world.

His reputation and everything else would suffer.

Yun Shan had also realized this, but could she simply stand by and watch them get officially engaged?

Yun Shan complained that Wei Zhijie didn’t love her enough; otherwise, why wouldn’t he cancel the engagement with Hai Lan.

Wei Zhijie, on the other hand, mentally criticized Yun Shan for being too magnanimous.

If she hadn’t been so unwilling to hurt Hai Lan, if she hadn’t been so kind and unassuming, he would have broken up with Hai Lan long ago.

But Yun Shan was kind-hearted, so Wei Zhijie merely grumbled inwardly and didn’t show any outward signs of dissatisfaction.

Yun Shan would bury everything in her heart, then magnify her sadness infinitely, wallowing in self-pity every day as if she were a tragically pitiable heroine.

As if afraid it wasn’t agitating enough, Hai Lan visited the Yun Family every day, always appearing very happy.

The happier she seemed, the more distressed Yun Shan became.

And so, the once vibrant and beautiful 22-year-old, having long wallowed in her own fabricated sorrows, had noticeably withered.

The one who used to be as lively as a spirit now seemed like a pearl covered in dust, having lost much of its luster.

Yun Shan’s parents thought her poor condition was due to overwork and doted on her daily, inventing various delicious dishes to cheer her up.

But Yun Shan failed to see this; she only knew that every time Hai Lan came, her parents were very happy, doting on her alone.

Therefore, whenever Hai Lan visited, Yun Shan found an excuse to retreat upstairs.

Yun Shan had just returned to her room when someone suddenly knocked on the door.

“Who is it?” she asked in confusion as she opened the door and saw Hai Lan standing outside, Yun Shan was somewhat surprised, “Sis, what brings you here?”

“Yun Shan, you’ve seemed out of sorts lately. Is work too exhausting?” Hai Lan asked with concern.

“Ah, yes…” Yun Shan nodded, finding in work a convenient excuse for her listlessness.

Hai Lan joked with a smile, “Business is so good, you should be happy about it. If you’re really too tired, delegate tasks to your staff. You’re still young; don’t wear yourself out.”

Yet, to Yun Shan, Hai Lan appeared high and lofty, behaving like a patronizing benefactor.

Indeed, the coffee shop’s bustling business was all thanks to Hai Lan’s luck.

Without her, how could her coffee shop be profitable?

See, she is that helpless, unable to even run a coffee shop well, needing Hai Lan to bring in good fortune.

No wonder everyone only liked her…

But fortunately, Brother Zhijie was in love with her!

This was Yun Shan’s sole daily consolation.

Yet, her heart still felt so downcast, so inferior… so pitiable…

With these thoughts, the look in Yun Shan’s eyes grew even more dim.

Hai Lan asked with concern, “Yun Shan, what’s really bothering you? You seem to be in a bad mood; do you have something on your mind?”
