He Was Shining With The Stars Chapter 1: Stand-In

It was late at night.

Suffering a great deal of dizziness, Ye s.h.i.+wei felt as if she was lying on a layer of soft clouds and couldn't feel the strength of struggle. Instead, she could only drift along.

She was taken to another world by that man.

Except him, she had no n.o.body else to rely on. So, she had to cling to him and let her body twined with his.

It was deadly quiet that night - until the heartbreaking pain struck her.

And a new life she would never have imagined started hereafter.

It was three o'clock in the morning.

Ye s.h.i.+wei turned over and made sure the man next to her was fast asleep before getting out of bed on tiptoes.

The moment her toes got in touch with the carpet, the pain came back to her. She felt like she was falling apart.

It was pitch-dark, and she didn't get to discern that man's face throughout her packing.

She clenched her teeth, took a deep breath and told herself that it was all just a nightmare and she would have no relation with all these in the future after walking out of here.

At the entrance of Kaiser Hotel, the girl standing in the corner walked towards Ye s.h.i.+wei, took off her mask and sungla.s.ses and spoke in a low voice.

"Done?"

Ye s.h.i.+wei nodded.

"Great!" Probably also surprised by her own high voice, the girl quickly covered her mouth and looked around. After making sure no one had noticed it, she then sighed with relief, "All right, your mission's done. Hurry to leave."

Ye s.h.i.+wei did not move; instead she grabbed the girl by her arm.

"What about the thing you've promised me?"

The girl responded with full of impatience, "Go to my father for the money. Hurry up, don't ruin my good thing. Otherwise, you won't get a dime!"

Ye s.h.i.+wei released her hand and walked alone into the pouring rain.

The wind was bitterly cold, but that wasn't how she felt for there was finally hope casting into her desperate life.

She was supposed to get a large sum of money when this was done. It would be enough to pay her mother's medical bills.

There were still a few stops from where Ye s.h.i.+wei wanted to go, but there was no bus this time at night. Taking the taxi would also be too expensive. So, Ye s.h.i.+wei had to choose to go on foot.

Her face was wet, though it was unclear whether it was because of the rain or her tears.

Three years ago, Family Ye was also a well-known enterprise in its industry, but since his father accidentally disappeared, Li Dakai, who used to be his father's a.s.sistant, became the person in charge.

On the other hand, the board rejected Ye s.h.i.+wei's application to replace her father on the grounds that she lacked experience.

From that day on, Ye s.h.i.+wei and her mother had been completely trampled underfoot by Li Dakai and his daughter Li Haina, and never got able to bring about an upswing.

At present the news that Childe Mu was returning from abroad spread all over the city A, and all those rich families wanted their daughters to climb up this big wig. Li Dakai was no exception. He was desperate to send his daughter onto Mu Tingchen's bed.

Unfortunately, Li Haina was reckless in her private life and she was no longer a virgin …

But how could Li Dakai miss this precious opportunity? He figured out a way to use Ye s.h.i.+wei as a stand-in to pave all way for his own daughter.

And, Ye s.h.i.+wei only wanted to get the money to pay for her mother's medical expenses.

Bixin Garden was definitely one famous wealthy neighborhood in the city.

She, Ye s.h.i.+wei used to live here, too. So, even when she had been reduced to this today, the security guard at the door still let her in because he recognized her.

"Tinkle -"

The doorbell rang and it took a long time to bring out a coquettish woman with red lips.

Li Dakai was a famously known field-playing playa, and he had married for countless times, with the woman beside him younger and younger.

"Who are you? And how do you get in here?" The woman looked up and down at the drenched lady in front of her, showing full of disgust.

"I'm Ye s.h.i.+wei. I'm looking for Uncle Li."

The woman hesitated.

"We've had an appointment."

The woman frowned and said angrily, "Then come in."

The villa of Family Li was magnificent. Li Dakai was tasting a gla.s.s of red wine on the sofa and his fat body was easily discernible no matter how what style he tried to make out of his glossy black hair.

Seeing Ye s.h.i.+wei, he took a slow sip of the wine.

"Is it done?"

Ye s.h.i.+wei nodded calmly.

"I'm coming for the money."

Li Dakai put down the gla.s.s and raised his eyes, showing pretended innocence in his small and despicable eyes.

"Money? What money?"
